Don't just write a band off just because of ONE song. One song does not really mean anything, and so what if other people start liking them. They are superficial fans of music, the will like whatever is "big" at the time and forget about it the next second. So I wouldn't worry to much about those people. At least Avenged has not become some kind of rap group. They will no doubt sound different from album to album, but so long as they don't start rapping or singing country tunes in their music I am sure it will be okay.
