Avenged sevenfold cant even shine Metallica's shoes !! no comparison !! They have not done anything that has made the metal world stand on their toes !! Metallica has changed the game ! they set a new standard of what metal is ! they came in with their own sounds and blew up the SF bay area and the rest of the country ! AX7 to be honest reminds me of a hot topic metal band...
