Thanks, babe. I was worried about putting them because I've had some arguments about whether or not they're good before. I think they're great and deserve more recognition.

I'm glad to find someone else who likes Synyster Gates. My brother is forever taking the piss.

I've seen them twice, once in support of the Poison (2-3 years ago), which was actually my first metal concert. I didn't mind them before going, but they were really the band that got me into music that screamed more. After seeing them live, I loved them and they became one of my favorite bands for awhile. Then they released S!A!F! which I initially didn't like as much at all as their first CD, but I saw them live with Atreyu and A7x and they performed it brilliantly. After seeing it live I got a greater appreciation for it. They perform it cleanly and the vocalist Matt is quite great live, not to mention the guitars. If you haven't seen them live, you definitely should at some point

I know what you mean about S!A!F!. I was worried they would go the same way many other bands have gone what with the whole pop rock/emo craze, and even though the album is a bit weaker than The Poison, it's actually one of my favourite albums, even now.

I remember hearing about the show they did with Atreyu and Avenged Sevenfold. I was really gutted I couldn't go, but I'm glad Bullet and Ax7 did so well (not much of a fan of Atreyu lately).

Your school rocks! If I ever mentioned rock music when I was at school, I was looked at as though I'd gone insane.
And if my brother comes on here, which he probably will, will you tell him how great Synyster Gates is please?

Thanks, and I'm sure you'll get there, babe, keep at it and just take it in your stride.

I just remembered you said you were in a band, sorry, I forgot to ask earlier. So, do you play the guitar? What's the band called, babe?

The they I was referring to was BFMV, though Atreyu also put on a great performance (as they have both times i've seen them). SAF is almost a throwback of 80's Metal and not emo/pop at all.

I bet they don't. You need to have a bit more confidence (this coming from someone who knows how important that is ). What sort of music does your band do?
