Video Showdown #2: Avenged Sevenfold vs. Overkill

Today’s Video Showdown puts the Metal band Overkill against Avenged Sevenfold.

It seems that there is some logo infringement between the bands Overkill, and Avenged Sevenfold. Overkill has been using the flying bat skull logo since their 1988 release, Under the Influence.

Meanwhile, the flying bat skull started showing up on Avenged Sevenfold covers in 2003, with the A7X’s release, Waking the Fallen.

    Any1 saying A7X stole the logo is being a retard. That’s the actual logo of the band A7X. Overkill used that skull thing on one single album. Their actual logo is completely different than A7x. So it’s just stupid to say they stole the logo, since that friend of the band probably didn’t even know they used that thing on a single album like 20 years ago.

    This is just plain logic without taking any side here. So everyone who says they stole the logo can crawl back into that hole they came from.

      Overkill used Chalie (the batskull) in Under the Influence, The years of decay, Horrorscope (but with body), W.F.O, The Killind Kind, Necroshine, Coverkill, Bloodletting, Killbox 13, ReliXIV, Immortalis, Ironbound, and The Electric Age. Only 1 album?, bitch please. Logic? please.

      -This is your Horrorscope…

    IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS METALLICA, MEGADETH, & MOTORHEAD, THEN CAME SLAYER, TESTAMENT, ANTHRAX & OVERKILL. THEN 15 YEARS LATER AVENGED SEVENFOLD CAME ALONG. WHAT HAVE THEY BROUGHT TO THE TABLE? SQUAT!! THEY ARE MOST FAMOUS FOR RIPPING OFF OVERKILLS 20 YEAR OLD REGISTERED AND TRADEMARKED LOGO! IT DOSEN’T MATTER WHO YOU THINK IS A BETTER BAND, AVENGED IS STILL A BUNCH OF SCUMBAGS FOR STEALING THE LOGO!

    I like both bands, even if they are stealing their mascot from Overkill.

    fuck everyone…..thats all i have to say….as far as overkill and avebnged sevenfold goes, doesnt matter what anyone says, they are both good bands, but avenged sevenfold puts out better shows, and i personally think thier music is way better, new age metal….fuck haters, fuck little bitches who want to talk shit on them over a fucking post…if you have a problem with them, go confront them personally and get your ass whooped by them, there you go…fucking people…think your all tough talking shit and saying evenged sevenfold cant play good music the fact is they do….thats why they have fucking sold out shows and albums…they have soooo much shit they could probably hire someone to kill you haters, so shut your fucking mouth………………there i said my peace. A7X wins.

    Actually, Overkill first used the bat skull on the back cover of their second release “Taking Over” in 1987.
    But it doesn’t matter, because they are waaaaaaaaaay better band than A7X. A7X have a good guitarist, and that’s all, but he can’t be compared with any Overkill musician. The other members of A7X pretty much suck.
    A7X is not METAL!!
    Overkill wins!!! \m/

    well the guys in a7x didn’t actually design their logo, a buddy of theirs did. So don’t hate on them, their friend did it. But i prefer a7x hands down. Saw them live and they sounded even better! Put on one hell of a show too. And yes they do cover a large sonic spectrum, and they are all amazingly talented musicians.

    A7v all the way.
    Avenged sevenfold are absolutley amazing. They haven’t commercialised there sound at all, they sound like nothing else around today. All the people saying shit about a7x – you need your ears .. no better BRAINS tested 🙂
