Avenged Sevenfold


Avenged Sevenfold is an America metal band, formed in 1999, when they were senior high. Unlike other young bands who only wants to make a hit as soon as possible, Avenged Sevenfold keep their members together and improve stably.

They emerged with a metalcore sound, which means their vocalist screamed a lot. But they changed their style since their self-titled album and become closer to mainstream.

These are the reasons why I like them, they are unity, and they got strong bases of instrumental skills, but their music does not sounds hard to keep listening.

My personal favorite album is “Live in the LBC”, and my favorite songs are “Gunslinger”, acoustic guitar gives a lonely feeling ,”Almost easy ” typical rock music ,”A little piece of heaven”, sounds playful but actually very constructed.

They are commented as “the most dangerous band after Guns n’ Roses”, they are still moving on, so you can keep an eye on it, Avenged Sevenfold.

Oasis

Oasis is an English rock band. Their inspirational figures are vocalist Liam Gallagher and guitarist Noel Gallagher, who are brothers. But beyond our cognition, they always have conflict with each other, and lead to a dismiss of Oasis. Whether they will reunite or not, they leave us abundant expressing feelings of rock music. Oasis’s music were heavily influenced by the Beatles, they use simple guitar chords but performing strongly touching music to make all the listening people feel touched. Like the song ” Wonderwall ”, upon hearing the rhythm and voice, all the fans would thought, ”wow! That reminds me of the Beatles.” Oasis’s music make feel like walking on a road paved of maple leaves in autumn, make me feel comfortable, their rhythm are simple and easy to memorize. I love their “Don’t look in anger”, “Masterplan” and “Stop crying your heart out”. All of these song make me want to pick up my guitar and sing a song.

Metallica


There are many kinds of rock n’ roll music Among all of them ,trash metal is one kind with power and speed, containing heavy guitar riffs and quick drum double treads. There are so-called big 4 of trash metal -Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, and the best-known Metallica.
Metallica’s music are known for skilled double guitar riffs and solo, powerful voice, and heavy drum beats. Their vocal and rhythm guitar, James Hetfield ,is able to play guitar riff quickly while singing .Solo guitar ,Kirk Hammett, likes to play high pitch solo . Of course he is able to play very fast. Their dual guitar solo is very splendid because they have two great guitar player. And the drummer, Lars Ulrich, harmonizing the band with his drum beats.

I love their songs like “one”, “the Day that Never Comes” and “Enter sandman”, which are very direct and very strong. Their dual guitar playing is awesome; the structure is rigorous, making me feel straightforward and, as if the Metallica wants to tell us about their attitude about life and music, like all trash metal bands.

Guns & Roses


When talking about rock n' roll music, there is always a name we can never forget. It’s Guns n’ Roses. Featuring vocal Axl Roses, who has a high and powerful voice, and solo guitar Slash, a man with outstanding and crazy fast guitar solo skill.


Guns n’ Roses’ best album, in my point of view, is “Appetite for Destruction (1987)”. The album contains their famous songs, including “Welcome to the jungle”, “sweet child o’mine”,and “Nightrain”.Making them the best hard rock band ever.


My favorite is “Nightrain”, a song written after they were all drunk. Just like other their songs ,telling a meaningless story, but give a strong feeling of emotion, it’s a typical spirit of rock music.
