I love metal all types I love Iron maiden. I also like Korn, Slipknot, System of a Down, Killswitch Engage, God Forbid, Chimaira, Sepultura, and Static-x. Metal is often misunderstood.When I first got into metal my friends thought it was weird too but they got used to it. Just do whatever you want its your life not theirs. As for Avenged Sevenfold there guitarist are awesome but their singer sucks.
