People just like to have a bad attitude in this forum. It's truly become an ugly place.

Please. Album sales are down 10,000% from the mid-90's. Bands don't sign huge record and publishing deals anymore. Hardly anyone makes a dime for their records. Major labels require "360 deals" and very little recording funding.

Publishers are having an enormously hard time earning any new income due to illegal downloads and their rates are so high (i.e., cost of doing business) that most major motion pictures can't afford to license music from superstar acts, let alone, well known acts.

Going Gold used to get bands dropped. Now, it's rarity if it ever happens.

What?

That song was unimaginative and boring. Boring guitars, boring vocals, boring song structure and boring production. Anyone that's listened to that genre of music in the last decade would likely agree.

Of course, that's my opinion and I hope it's not too "ugly" for you.

I understand you think is am, but I am a music director of a 30 million dollar radio station, one that is continually successful. In fact, we are one of the most successful rock stations in the country, and my job is to " hear" songs. I'm not wrong often. This song will be the most played rock song in a matter of weeks, and it will be number one In a matter of weeks as well.

That's not because of songs. That's because of corporations and Mc Radio stations run by said corporations. Basically it has nothing to do with quality of music and everything to do with suits running and ruining the show.

Yeah, music from 2000 forward compares favorably to music from the 60's 70's and 80's. I can't wait to hear this Avenged Sevenfold song in 30 years on the radio.

As a veteran of the music business for more than a decade, everything you said is complete and utter nonsense.

And once again, that just goes to show that the quality of music being produced and distributed today, whether it's through an Indie, Self or Major Label distribution, is well below average.

But I tel, you what, for the sake of not fighting. You're right. I'm Wrong. You rule. I suck.

Now go away...

I don't doubt that it could hit number one at some point. But for it to be song of the year is really stretching it. It's an average song that lacks anything that puts it over the top. Like Dane said, even people who are into that music would think it's fairly boring. Myself included.
