I don’t think I know a rock band that is disliked more than Avenged Sevenfold. The most amazing
thing is that none of these “haters” have any credible reason to dislike the
band. It appears that ever since the turn of the millennium, any hard
rock/metal band that gains popularity of any kind gets a lashing; it’s impossible
to win. But at the end of the day I’ve never met any of these seemingly
professional music analysts in person, they prefer to remain hidden, while in
reality (you know, that world beyond the computer screen) I meet more and more
fans of the band as they become among this generations biggest hard rock acts.
