These are M. Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold’s Ten Favorite Metal Albums of All Time

Wow, this is really not Guns N’ Roses’ day.

After first being left off Loudwire’s list of The Ten Best Hair Metal Bands, the group has now also been excluded from Avenged Sevenfold frontman M. Shadows’ list of his personal favorite metal albums of all time. Given how vocal Shadows has been about being a GN’R fanboy in the past, this is kinda shocking. I can only chalk it up to Shadows not considering GN’R to be “metal.” But still.

ANYWAY, the list is below (in bold). You can read Shadows’ explanations for his choices over at Rolling Stone. Here are links to other lists from the same series:
