Comment by deathbatnews August 13, 2011 @ 6:33 pmPeople don’t even vote about the lyrics, they vote about the band they like
Comment by pinkyandthesheep August 13, 2011 @ 6:32 pmI think if would in the old time, I definitively vote on LP, but now I’m 110% of Avenged. But now I’m so sad ’cause was promoting this poll in my personal account on facebook and he got me doing spamming. Now I can not even post and comment on other pages for 15 days. How do I live?
Comment by Caroline August 13, 2011 @ 6:43 pmThis is a tough one for me. Linkin Park and A7X are my 2 favorite bands. Both have written songs that are very meaningful, but I have to vote for Linkin Park in this one. I think that personal experiences in life will help people pick between these 2 amazing bands.
Comment by Bob August 13, 2011 @ 6:43 pmLinkin park is awful now loll. I use to be a big fan of theirs but shit went bad. The reason why linkin park lyrics have somewhat meaning to them is because of them selling out. HEHEHE
Comment by paul d. from ct August 13, 2011 @ 8:18 pmNormally I don’t even reply to stupid comments like this, but today I will. How can you possibly say that Linkin Park has sold out? They have done the opposite of selling out. They simply make music that sounds good to them. They would sell millions more of their albums if they went back to their old sound, but they wont because they don’t like how it sounds anymore. Their first album went diamond. They would have sold out if they continued making the same sounding music. Please have some sort of facts before you accuse a band of selling out. /end rant
Comment by Bob August 14, 2011 @ 8:18 amAgree with bob. And if you look at the lyrics, LPs first 2 albums were pretty generic. On Minuted to Midnight and especially on a Thousand Suns they Stepped their lyrical game up miles.
Comment by happyfatman August 14, 2011 @ 4:47 pmI’ve got the same situation. Two of my favorite bands against each others. But I’d go with A7X, not only coz it’s my number 1 favorite band but coz the lyrics of the Nightmare-album has been very meaningful to me. But this is exactly why I hate these polls.
Comment by Emi August 14, 2011 @ 12:22 amA7X is leading :)
Comment by lexy August 13, 2011 @ 6:47 pmPersonally Lp is ok. A7X is way better than them !!! In lyrics and live shows !! A7 foREVer !!! Lp pretty much sucks
Comment by Juan g August 13, 2011 @ 7:55 pmIf it was old Linkin Park, then definitely them. But now it’s definitely A7X. Funny thing is LP used to be my favorite band once upon a time (back when their music was better lol).
Comment by Anonymous August 13, 2011 @ 9:03 pmdamn avenged is dominating… not gonna lie im suprised considering how mainstream linkin park is. then again how many of their fans actually care enough about LP to know about this poll, thats the beauty of a7x fans we know everything and anything about avenged sevenfold while other fans for artists.. well the most they usually know is the chorus to their number 1 song on itunes
Comment by Anonymous August 13, 2011 @ 9:04 pmI’m a fan of both bands and I feel like both have written songs with very meaningful lyrics, but I’ve got to vote for Avenged. Their lyrics have had more of an impact on me lately than any other band’s lyrics.
Comment by JaCaria August 13, 2011 @ 9:32 pmA7x all day every day lol
Comment by Rocio Valdez (@RocySD) August 13, 2011 @ 10:01 pmLP writes really good lyrics but A7X have written some very awesome,meaningful and deep lyrics…a7x all the way
Comment by MPa Ralte August 13, 2011 @ 11:28 pmNo offense but LP kind of sucks. Sevenfold is on another level I really don’t think this is close.
Comment by mattiedeathbat August 14, 2011 @ 1:18 amAVENGED SEVENFOLD all the way! Their lyrics are one of the many things that make them AMAZING! <3 Much Love
Comment by Dori August 14, 2011 @ 2:55 amA7X are winning by a good 50%!
Comment by phill taylor August 14, 2011 @ 3:41 ami think avenged sevenfold is as meaningful as they get…
Comment by Kaylee August 14, 2011 @ 5:16 amAvenged us winning but it’s not a washout, so vote!
Comment by Linds August 14, 2011 @ 8:56 amI like linkin park and yeah, I’m sure their lyrics are meaningful, but it’s nothing compared to avenged… Especially in their last album. Everyone who knows avenged knows just how meaningful the lyrics are in nightmare.
Sevenfold is as meaningful as it gets lyric wise lately. LP is good but from a lyrical content standpoint I can see through their lyrics. Shads’ voice is just so freaking intense to can’t help but feel what he is singing.
Comment by Ghostflame83 August 14, 2011 @ 9:10 amvote harder D:<
where are only up by like 1% D:
Comment by Lovin_My_Synism August 14, 2011 @ 9:51 amLinkin Park haven’t lost their drummer and best friend. How can they have more meaningful lyrics than Avenged?
Fiction.
Comment by Anonymous August 14, 2011 @ 11:25 amSo Far Away.
Save me.
I Won’t see you Tonight Parts 1 & 2.
It doesn’t take losing your best friend to write meaningful lyrics, just so you know.
Comment by Cal August 14, 2011 @ 11:45 amThose songs all have great meanings behind them. There’s no disputing that. But A7X also write songs like A Little Piece of Heaven, Bat Country, Scream. All great songs but they don’t exactly have the best meanings lol. Where as with Linkin Park I can’t think of a single song of theirs that doesn’t have a deep meaning behind it.
Comment by Bob August 14, 2011 @ 1:22 pmYou only mentioned 5 songs. Linkin Park has way more than just 5 songs.
Comment by Tanner August 14, 2011 @ 3:35 pmI love LP but i love A7x a little bit more were voting based on which band we like not really on the lyrics :-D
Comment by A7xfan August 14, 2011 @ 11:45 amTen years ago I would’ve voted Linkin Park, but now, to me at least, they’ve wandered away from meaningful and gone more for catchy. Avenged Sevenfold has found a hybrid of the two without sacrificing meaning for catchy and not going so poppy they lose the heartfelt stuff. :)
Comment by Harley Quinn August 14, 2011 @ 1:36 pmSevenfold and I’m not even being biased.
Comment by Loghen August 14, 2011 @ 1:40 pmLinkin Park’s lyrics are all about “I feel alone, I’m confused, I’m ignored, I need to heal” and that. Not that it’s bad but I swear it’s the same words in most of their songs.
I just want A7x to win because I love them C:
Not the point of it.. but still I’m being honest <:D
Comment by Lovin_My_Synism August 14, 2011 @ 2:04 pmAnybody with any sort of intelligence can’t in good conscience even consider anybody but A7X
Comment by Nolan August 14, 2011 @ 2:14 pmWell, considering even some of A7X’s heavier songs are extremely meaningful (Some examples would be Lost as it talks about the impacts and pointlessness of war, Second Heartbeat is about friendship, and I Won’t See You Tonight Pt 2 since it discusses suicide, and there’s others, too) i’d pick A7X over LP.
LP do have some pretty meaningful songs though.
Comment by Hi August 15, 2011 @ 1:34 amLp and A7x is a perfect rock band! But I always vote A7x! Keep up making a great song! Okay?
Comment by Ilham Yahya TheShadows August 16, 2011 @ 7:56 pmGuys we’re losing by a slim margin now!!!
AHHH!!!!!!!! Keep voting everyone!!!!
Comment by Bre August 17, 2011 @ 4:04 amHoly hell this is a difficult round. I love A7X, but I also love Linkin Parks older work, hybrid theory especially. I think I’m gonna side with Sevenfold though, just because I love all of Sevenfolds lyrics but I don’t really feel LP’s lyrics these days. They are still good, but they aren’t the same.
