dem00n Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Hes a famous "metal" guitarist? I vote no. Why? His solos and riffs are to clean to be metal i would consider them hard rock. His tone is metal but that doesnt mean his playing is, something many so called metalheads dont look for in a good "metal" guitarist. Well at least he isnt a fake metal band i guess...though i dont like them. Hes...OK. I have to admit...its a start...sadly. Though someone once told me. The good stuff will always be hidden. Why do so many great guitarists die young? Sorry i was mad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I don't like him, his name, or his music. I hate A7X! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note i think Total Guitar is a horrible Magazine though its worth fliping pages if you see it at the market or bookstore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:oilpit: Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 So your saying good metal guitarists should be really sloppy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 What oilpit said. I not a big fan of AX7 but I did see them play at Ozzfest a few years ago and those guitar players have their stuff together; you don't often hear dual, harmony leads anymore.

Silenced Fred Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 My friend's cousin is the lead singer, some of the stuff is okay, and I will leave it at that. I hate the look of his guitar, those headstocks look like absolute sh¡t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I vote no. I vote "no" too. He is a poser and not even a good one at that. Why? Just take my word for it... I ain't lyin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I do not have any of their albums but A7X are actually not bad at all, I like what I have heard from them so far. I bet you those of us who actually were old enough to be into Heavy Metal in the 1980's like that band, or at least do not dislike them, one of the reasons is that a lot of the Metal bands you see as Classic now were not when they came out, we listened to them with an open mind even though there were tons of people telling us these bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica were not as good as Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin. Dem00n perhaps your friend refers as the good stuff being hidden to the fact that you have to listen, and you have to listen with an open mind. It is cool to show reverence to Metal bands of the past but keep an eye on the present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I liked AX7's "Avenged Sevenfold" album. I have to say I like some of Gate's riffs and I like his tone. He is a veritable guitar god to some of the local metal players. /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnate McDuanus Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I respect the guy and I very much enjoy what I've heard of A7X. I hate the way his ugly, ugly guitar looks. He gets a fine sound out of it, though. That's all I'm going to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
