- What is with the guitarist, man?
- It starts off so mellow and it just escalates.
Like it goes, "Whoop! Nope. Now I'm smashing my guitar."
It's impressive what they can do, but it's kinda creepy.
- They're just too metal-like.
I don't like the "Death, destruction, raaa!"
- I love them!
It was, like, peaceful and then it was like heavy metal.
Peaceful, heavy metal. It just switched a lot.
- (FBE) So Avenged Sevenfold is one of the most popular
metal bands of all time.
- Really?
- Right now, 2017 popular?
This sounds like it jumped out of the '80s.
- (FBE) And most the band members don't go by their regular names,
but instead, go by stage names.
- Okay. I mean, that's kind of interesting.
You don't really hear that much nowadays.
- Like fake names they made up
'cause they don't want to reveal their real names?
- (FBE) Their stage names are: M. Shadows, Zacky Vengeance,
Synyster Gates, Johnny Christ, and Brooks Wackerman.
- (laughs) "Brooks Wackerman."
- It's hardcore, like the songs.
- How did they think of those?
- Very rock and roll and very crazy and wacko!
But that's what they like, so that's what they like.
- Why would you come up with those kinds of names?
Do you really want to go by "Brooks Wackerman"
for the rest of your life?
- (FBE) Actually, that last one, Brooks Wackerman,
that's his real name too.
- Oh, shoot.
- (FBE) So finally, now that you've heard some heavy metal,
do you think you might be interested
in hearing more metal bands?
- No.
I don't like heavy metal.
- Definitely.
- Never.
- It's fun to listen to them, but it's not gonna beat my hip-hop.
- No. I like pop music, not them.
- Yes!
This band is just amazing!
- I will never, because I don't like metal.
- No, not really.
I don't really take away from my spare time
to go listen to music.
Like, I'd rather do other stuff instead.
- Yes.
I think you did a good job on your songs!
I actually like them, actually. (laughs)
They're nice, but very crazy.
