Avenged Sevenfold continued

Although Avenged Sevenfolds image has never really changed it is typical to the genre of rock/metal, it is clear to see who they have been influenced by just from their image. The rock/metal genre often demands an image including dark clothing, long hair or short crazy hairstyles, and lots of tattos, and as you can see from the images, Avenged Sevenfold have definatly conformed within this genre. As Avenged Sevenfold have adopted this style they are perfect looking band for magazines such as kerrang, and metal hammer, the reason being rock/metal fans see a band like Avenged Sevenfold and can instantly associate them with a genre just off a photo from a magazine, without even hearing the music. This shows how important image is to a band, as people often see bands in magazines, so if they dont look similar to bands they like they may not give them a chance, and thats why Avenged Sevenfold are an ideal band for kerrang, as they look similar to lots of bands also featured within the magazine.
