Metal Reviews

Bill's bastard son.

No doubt named after his mother's great grandfather, Synister Q. Prendergast.

Here's some more:

INTERVIEWER: With success of course comes criticism. How do you respond to the fans and critics that accuse the band of "selling out" or "not being metal enough?"

M. SHADOWS: We've been criticized since day one. We love it. The more people talk, the more people get interested in the band. Selling out is a term kids use in high school. Anyone that calls us a sell out has never heard the record or they are basing it off of the fact that we dont scream anymore.

INTERVIEWER: Do you think you guys will ever go back to using your real names like Mudvayne, The Donnas and others have done?

M. SHADOWS: Hell no! M.Shadows is my real name now.

INTERVIEWER: Your newest record "City Of Evil" just came out on Warner Bros. Can you introduce the record and describe it? How is it different from your previous works?

M. SHADOWS: I feel this record is ambitious and sounds like no one else. That was the point of it. To make a record that stands on its own without a scene behind it. There is no scene for this type of music, just people who love it and people who hate it.

Later in the interview:

I know about 10% of our fans just like us because they see our name on T-shirts with a cool logo and we used to scream on our records and it's a cool scene to be involved in.

so ?

how's that worse than most metal interviews ? :?

Here's some more:
M. SHADOWS: Hell no! M.Shadows is my real name now.

Whether or not they spell those wrong on purpose, as well as some of their own names, is of course up to debate. But I certainly wouldn't put it past them just being total idiots.

It pisses me off that I never bothered learing to play the guitar. I mean if two of these knuckledragging fifth-generation inbreds can manage it.....

AVENGED SEVENFOLD have revealed to Kerrang! magazine that their days of shit-talking about other bands are over. The California-based group, who had a run-in with ATREYU last year, put their new attitude down to being more mature. "We don’t slag off any bands anymore because we’re more mature and we're over it now," confessed frontman M. Shadows. "Some of the things we said looked worse than we meant them," added guitarist Zacky Vengeance. They're also determined not to rise to public fall-outs when other bands bait them. "Ninety percent of the bands who have talked shit about us in magazines have asked to be on tour with us," laughed Shadows. "One band who we talked shit about was told by their record company to talk shit back about us just so they could make a story and get some press out of it. It's all politics and bullshit and we're not going to mention other bands' names anymore because we don't want them to get the free publicity."

Commented M. Shadows, "I feel Axl is a better singer, GUNS N' ROSES was a better band. STONE TEMPLE PILOTS wasn't ever close to that status. Axl was nothing but a nice, down-to-earth, great guy to talk to when I met him. Very respectful and generous, taking pictures with everyone and just seemed to be having a good time."

Hahaha, the moment I saw this email I knew they'd done it again!.
