Avenged Sevenfold Takes On Atreyu in Orange County Feud[views:73316][posts:168]_____________________________________ [Jun 9,2005 7:56pm - the_reverend ""] first off, didn't read it. Avenged Sevenfold Takes On Atreyu in Orange County Feud Feuds aren’t just for rappers, divas, new wave revivalists and has-beens anymore!Orange County’s Avenged Sevenfold called out neighbors Atreyu publicly in U.K.’s rock weekly, Kerrang, with M. Shadows claiming “Atreyu are leading the scene that we want to get out of. They’re part of it and we’re not. I wouldn’t say we are fucking friends.” He goes on to accuse Atreyu of ripping off a song intro while band mate The Reverend maintains that there is no rivalry to speak of! The fair, balanced journalists at Kerrang! gave Atreyu a chance to respond in this week’s issue. Vocalist Alex Varkatzas was dismissive, saying, “As far as we knew we were on good terms with the guys, having toured with them briefly in the past. We were looking forward to seeing them again on the Warped Tour so we’re slightly taken aback by all of this. I guess if you’re not down with Atreyu, you can go fuck yourself.” Kerrang! took the last word, saying, “We hear ya, buddy.” With both bands spending the long hot summer on tour together, anything could happen – this bad blood could dwarf the likes of The Killers vs. The Bravery, 50 Cent vs. The Game, Kelly Osbourne vs. Christina Aquilera and even the classic beef between David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar over fronting Van Halen. Atreyu and Avenged Sevenfold are both headliners on Warped Tour 2005, so they will have plenty of opportunities to hash out their differences. Atreyu kick off Warped Tour with a deluxe re-issue of The Curse, in stores June 28th, which comes with a DVD containing all four Atreyu videos (for “Lip Gloss and Black”, “Ain’t Love Grand”, “Right Side Of The Bed” and “The Crimson” as well as a custom Atreyu mp3 player cover. The band have been home resting up for Warped Tour after spending the first five months of 2005 on their “Thick As Thieves” world tour, hitting North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, Japan and Australia. Look for singer Alex on the cover of the Summer Tour issue of Revolver, which hits the street on July 19th. Atreyu are in great demand on movie soundtracks lately with “You Eclipsed By Me” on The Cave soundtrack, in stores July 12th, and their cover of Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love A Bad Name” on the soundtrack of ‘Mr and Mrs. Smith’ starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, in stores June 7th. The latest Atreyu video, “The Crimson” is appearing on MTV2’s Headbanger’s Ball, Fuse TV’s Uranium and MuchMusic in Canada. Atreyu’s interview with Julia of Uranium is slated to air in late June. When Avenged Sevenfold said Atreyu is leading the scene, they couldn’t have said it any better – Atreyu has sold a combined total of over 410,000 albums, while Avenged Sevenfold has moved 231,421 to date. |

| _________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 7:11am - tbone_r ""] i prefer atreyu. they may wear pink eye shadow, but at least they can come to terms with the fact that they're part of the queer metalcore movement ("Atreyu are leading the scene that we want to get out of. They’re part of it and we’re not...") |

| _______________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 8:07am - joe/notcommon ""] I don't know Atreyu, but I heard Avenged Sevenfold once and it was really upsetting. My cat cried. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 9:19am - intestineshredder ""] Avenged sevenfold sucks, there album contains only clean vocals, no yelling or screaming at all. I saw Atreyu at ozzfest and they put on a good show, props to them despite the fact that they are melodic metalcore. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 10:33am - Jesus_Slaves ""] why do bands deliberately make themselves look like fruitcakes? who even wheres a Smiths shirt? or a Cradle of Crap shirt for that matter. instead of fighting each other, they should be pitted against 25 rabid, starving hyenas. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 11:19am - intestineshredder ""] thats not a bad name for a band my friend, "25 rabid, starving hyenas" sounds pretty catchy to me! |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 11:48am - OfTheSeed ""] wow, from watching their videos on Headbanger's Ball, it looks like a fued over which band can be the gayest. |

| ____________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 1:23pm - ltdec-1000 ""] Okay, Ill admit it, I liked atreyus old album. They got me into music with any screaming in it at all. Their new album sucks ass, and the same with a7x. The band has gotten progressively gayer with more exposure. |

They’re part of it and we’re not...") i would have agreed until i heard avenged's new album...it's really not metalcore at all...some parts are way more reminiscent of, believe it or not, statovarious, than anything like atreyu or metalcore. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 1:29pm - ltdec-1000 ""] Avenged Sevenfold's new album sounds like the 80's reincarnated. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 1:59pm - __THeMoor__ ""] i enjoy it....no shame....no shame... |

| ________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 4:46pm - mOe_rk ""] hahaha, yeah they're all wearing the same jeans with a different band shirts to point out all the different sides of the band...god, i hate them |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 5:06pm - ltdec-1000 ""] noo, some jeans are PRE FADED.... god.... And only 3 of them are wearing low rise pants. Jeeze, i wish you guys would pay attention.... |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 5:09pm - BornSoVile ""] i hope they start killing each other off, great photoshop mister jansen!!! |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 6:20pm - joe/notcommon ""] which band is which in those photos? |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 6:32pm - IntricateProcess ""] 1st band is avenged second is atreyu |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 6:55pm - dwellingsickness ""] That would make a hilarious Celebrity Death Match,let them fags just annihilate each other |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 11,2005 12:01am - ArrowHead nli ""] I will admit, without thier singer AS would definately get many more plays in my CD player. The guitars are definately right up my 80's metal alleyway. Atreyu is gay. Always was gay. Most likely, always WILL BE gay. Bands with angry midgets are gay. Except me - I'm a good midget. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 13,2005 1:32pm - Jesus_Slaves ""] they should pit the lead singers of both bands against Will Rahmer from Mortician and Tony Lazaro from Vital Remains. Tony Lazaro looks like Bowser and Donkey Kong combined. |

And I'm not "down with Atreyu." |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 13,2005 10:39pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] looks like i am also going to be fucking myself. what kind of band allows the rhythm guitarist and bassist play a 2 chord riff behind their heads while the "lead" guitarist studies his fret board keenly playing a 3 note tapping solo????? they have it completely ass backwards. dumbasses. i'd like to slap them all in the throat with a hammer. as for avenged sevenfold...i've been listening to them since the first ep came out, and i must say it took a while to get into them but they grow on me more and more with each album, except the new one. it's definitely like an 80's metal tribute band now, which i don't mind. it's very entertaining, but i wish they had a little bit more of their old style in there. but of course i'm gayer than homosexuality for liking them at all, so whatever. hah. |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 6,2005 6:10pm - anonymous ""] They don't sound anything alike anyomre, no need to compare them. A7X aren't glamcore anymore either, they cut the eyeliner and makeup and dropped the screams. As for Ateyu, well they are still in the scene that A7X said they were in. |
