Maybe, hard rock? Heavy, loud music.

and usually deadly words in a band kinda means they're rock.

I need to start listening to more rock music

so then I'm, like, "Oh yeah, I've heard of them!"

♪ (heavy guitar) ♪

- 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.
