Why don't you like Children of Bodom and old Avenged sevenfold but you like Slipknot?
Sorry bout the lack of replies, went to take a shower.
I Don't like Avenged Sevenfold cause they have this VERY annoying habit of just completely killing a songs tempo out of no where and the lead singer will start singing in a VERY soft voice that just doesn't suit him. Take Bat Country for instance, it has the potential to be a kick ass song, but about a minute and half into the song, it suddenly gets soft and slow outta nowhere and the singer's voice just goes south for me and it's not the only time they do it in that song, it just kills the song for me. They do that in so many songs, and it just kills em for me. Other than that, their solos get a bit repetitive(a minor complaint compared to the first). Children of Bodom's vocals just kill it for me(though their instrumentals are pretty impressive from what I've seen), not a fan of the growling words I can't understand thing. I only sorta like Slipknot, they got some songs I like, a few I really like, and some I hate. When they do slower/softer songs or slower/softer parts of faster/heavier songs, they tend to be able to make it all sound like it belongs together. Sure the vocalist kinda growls, but I can still usually understand what he's saying and I like his voice.
EDIT: Just realized you said OLD Avenged Sevenfold, it's been a while since I listened to their older stuff, but at the time I didn't like it. I didn't like Slipknot either, so I may give their old stuff a second chance.
