I really started loving the band Avenged Sevenfold back in 2007 when their self-titled album came out. I think I had hear one or two of their previous songs before, but this album definitely sealed the deal for me as a fan. I saw their video for Afterlife and I was hooked!
I had always wanted to see them in concert, but extinuating circumstances were always in the way. Most regrettably, I never got to see them perform when their awesome drummer, Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan was still alive. Sadly, he passed away about nine months before this concert ever happened. I am so thankful that the rest of the boys have chosen to carry on, even in the wake of losing their brother. The music world would definitely not be the same without the sounds of this amazing metal band. They even got one of Jimmy's favorite drummers, Mike Portnoy, from Dream Theater. Mike helped them record their latest album, Nightmare, and has been a great addition to the band. However, his stay is just temporary. :(
I was so excited when the opportunity to see them live finally presented itself. They were performing on the RockStar Uproar Tour along with Disturbed and some other bands. My best friend, Kim, her sister, Aubrey, and my brother, Zach went. I am so glad I did, and I cannot wait until the next opportunity arises.
Pictures to come!
