biography
The members of metalcore outfit Avenged Sevenfold (or A7X) were still attending high school in Huntington Beach, CA, when they formed their band in 1999. Nevertheless, it didn't take long for M. Shadows (vocals), Zacky Vengeance (guitar), Synyster Gates (guitar), the Reverend (drums), and Johnny Christ (bass) to make an impression with their aggressive hybrid of metal and punk-pop. The band made its official debut in July 2001, releasing Sounding the Seventh Trumpet on the Good Life label before moving to the Hopeless roster for 2003's Waking the Fallen. Warner Bros. took interest in the band's aggressive sound and issued its breakthrough release, City of Evil, in June 2005. The album reached number 30 on Billboard's Top 200, propelled in part by the Top Ten success of the single "Bat Country." The accompany music video was heavily rotated on MTV and Fuse, where live appearances also helped boost Avenged's growing profile, and the band ultimately won the Best New Artist Award (though they were hardly newcomers) at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards.
As demand for their music increased, Avenged Sevenfold canceled their tour dates for fall 2006 and decamped to Houston, TX, where they set to work on a fourth studio album. Boasting a grittier sound than previous releases, the self-titled/self-produced disc appeared in October 2007, debuting at number four on the Billboard Top 200 and spinning off the radio single "Almost Easy." The album also fared well in England, where three songs cracked the Top Five of the U.K. rock charts, and Avenged Sevenfold helped support the release by touring North America on the Taste of Chaos tour. Released in September 2008, the CD/DVD package Live in the LBC and Diamonds in the Rough captured the band during a tour stop in Long Beach. ~ Christina Fuoco, All Music Guide

- @TIM SLIMJIM and Chemical Mouse....
You both are AWESOMEEEE!
Okay to me personally, Avenged Sevenfold is the best band ever.
Brian is absolutely, to me, the most creative, AWESOME guitarist that has ever lived! He puts so much emotion to what he plays and isnt scared of what others think. Hes passionate about his place in people's lives. He inspires them through his artistic music style. His signature song is I Wont See You Tonight Pt.1.
Zacky is one of the most talented rhythm guitarists ever. The fact that he isnt one of those rhythm guitarists that just sticks to simple riffs. He actually plays the same DIFFICULT riffs Brian does. Even plays some solos with him. His signature song is Unholy Confessions.
Johnny is absolutely the most talented bassist since Cliff Burton. He keeps a good beat and a difficult beat as well. His bass tracks to songs such as Afterlife and Almost Easy are as difficult and equal to Brian and Zacky's riffs. His signature song is Blinded in Chains.
Jimmy, is by far the most talented drummer since Lars Ulrich and Lee Rauch. He knows how to keep both modern and classic beats on the drums And his beat is never off. His signature song is Beast and the Harlot.
Matt is the greatest metal singer of all time. His voice is so distinguished and original. I hear no one with his voice. His voice sounds like a blender that just mixed Axel Rose, James Hetfield, and Phil Enselmos' voices together. You can easily tell that Pantera has impacted him with such a grand influence on his voice. His signature song is Bat Country.
Either way... A7X never sounds like crap. - 11 out of 13 people
