Avenged Sevenfold

A friend of mine tagged me in the Avenged Sevenfold's post about them coming to Singapore and I absolutely lost it. I couldn't believe they were finally coming after so long. It had been 3 years and I missed the last chance due to my final exams. I was definitely not going to miss them this time. The moment my dad got home from work, I booked my tickets.

I went with 8 of my other friends and we were in the line by 9 am, when the concert was at 7:30 pm. It was worth every second of the wait. The crowd was absolutely insane, the band was absolutely marvelous and Synyster Gates, like always, was the God of guitars! There was a mosh pit, there was adrenaline and then there was M. Shadows. His voice filling the room like of an angel singing in the heavens.

As their 'This Means War' started, one of my personal favourite, the crowds' fist pumped back and forth right at the beat and everyone was one, moving along to the rhythm of music created by a band we all loved.

No one should miss an Avenged Sevenfold concert. It's one In a lifetime experience. Moreover, who knows, you might catch Syn's autographed pick. I was lucky, I got 2! So go. Go to the concert. And never say no to it. Cheers.

Avenged Sevenfold always delivers high energy, blow-your-ear-drums-out performances. If you like loud, you will love an A7X show.

I saw them last summer at the Orion Music Festival and was blown away. A lot of the time at a festival you lose some sound since it is outside, but Avenged Sevenfold must have found a new volume level for their amps, because it was louder than some shows that I have been to in small concert halls!

Lead singer M. Shadows was constantly prowling around the stage, shouting at the audience, and keeping the energy up. A lot of people in the crowd did not seem to be die-hard Avenged Sevenfold fans when the show started (which I guess is not uncommon for large festivals), but within a few minutes, everyone was rocking together. With the heavy guitars and smashing drums, it was hard not to get up and jump around and mosh together.

I think I danced or jumped for the entire show, and I was completely spent afterwards. There never seemed to be a quiet moment to catch my breath, which was exhilarating. I had an absolute blast at this show and would never hesitate to go see these guys again. Their live performance is second to none.

What an amazing live performance. They kept the audience engaged the entire time. I'm not their biggest fan but there was a few songs that I wish had been on the set list that weren't. Then again, that's just my preference. Regardless, Matt has an amazing voice and I was blown away. The only thing that bothered me was that the sound mix seemed a bit off which sucks because that's obviously not the band's fault. At first the bass was so low that anytime the guitars started playing harmonies the sound got really thin/empty. Also I thought that Synyster was playing sloppily (which I would have been extremely surprised if that was the case) because some parts in his solos seemed inaudible but I finally realized that the guitars were getting smothered in the mix. I only notice this stuff because I play in a band and do live shows myself so it probably didn't bother too many people besides me. Overall, 10/10 live performance, and I would totally go see them again. (Hopefully at another venue)

Avenged Sevenfold was pretty awesome! Their new album was a change in direction from the prior ones, I would say, being more melodic than Nightmare or especially their earlier works. Two great songs were Hail to the King and Shepherd of Fire, which had amazing special effects as well.
The crowd was really alive, and Matt Shadows was really interactive too. The band was presented with two flags during the concert: the Swedish one, and one with the band's Deathbat on it. The most memorable part for me was when the entire arena shouted "Hail!" during Hail to the King - it really made you shiver, even though the fires on stage neutralized it some. Obviously, though, they played plenty of songs from their older albums as well - crowd favorites were probably Almost Easy and A little Peace of Heaven, two of their most successful songs outside the arena too.

Le concert a commencé avec deux autres groupes que je ne connaissais pas: Chevelle et Disturbed.

J'avais écouté leur principaux titres malgré tout avant le concert.

Pour Chevelle, le son était un peu mal réglé et c'est dommage, ça manquait aussi un peu d'énergie. Je préfère écouter le groupe en version studio.

Disturbed, ça était une bonne surprise, beaucoup d'énergie, d'animation, le son au top.
Et pourtant en version studio, j'avais moyennement accroché.

Et enfin, le meilleur pour la fin, Avenged Sevenfold. J'ai passé un excellent moment, je ne regrette pas l'attente, mon seul regret est que ce fut trop court, notamment dû au fait qu'il y ait deux premières parties. Et je ne suis pas repartie les mains vides, j'ai réussi à attraper une affiche du concert lancer par les membres du groupe à la fin du concert! :)

The concert was FUCKING amazing! The crowd was so loud, M. Shadows were singing perfectly, as always...They played all of the best songs they have ever made, and one song, So Far Away, in loving memory of The Rev.
My favourite moment was when I screamed to M.Shadows: I love you, he looked me in the eyes and said: I love you too! It was unbelievable!!!! Everyone screamed and I got so happy... Avenged Sevenfold show how much they care about their fans, even on the stage. They look at us, they smile at us and they talk about how amazing the crowd and their fans are.
To sum it up, it was the best night in my entire life, and I can't wait until next concert <3 -Lilly

Well, I'm not sure which show I'm supposed to review, so I'll do both. I saw them on Friday at shoreline amphitheater and then on Monday at golden one center. For the 1st show we had lawn tickets, it was still good. This was my 6th time seeing them. It was my 13 year old son's 1st concert. They always put on an excellent show.
Mondays show was the best one I've been to,my 7th time seeing them , because we were right up front on the floor. It was awesome. The crowd gets pretty aggressive, but I already knew that. I ended up being pulled out from security for trying to break up a fight, so that wasn't fun, but nothing against the band, they rocked.

That show, in SLC Utah, was phenomenal. They're just amazing people who worked so hard and got where they deserve to be. I enjoyed watching the result of their hard work, and I plan to watch more shows that come around. I want to see them succeed more and accomplish more stuff in the future. They're such great people, amazing artists, great role models for aspiring musicians everywhere, and (by the twitter videos) they're amazing parents. I'll always be a death bat, not only for their music but for them as human beings. God Damn.

The concert in Vienne (France) was one of our best concert ever. Avenged Sevenfold is my partner and I's one top favorite metal band and the show was unforgettable.

First because every song is performed with passion, and you can't deny that. Made me emotionnal many times.

The audience plays a role in this too, because you could feel everyone was here for it. People started singing along every song, and it felt rewarding for band members, they looked happy and we were happy. One of the BEST concert I ever went to see !

The Showcase for A7X is always about the catchy songs the band put through. It was a back to back of smashing hits and the crowd grow crazy just by listening to the opening riffs. The performace A7X is energetic. The chemistry between the individuals in the group is amazing as they power up each other without fail. The only problem was that the vocal did not break through the screaming crowd. Yeah the crowd were singing along and it was pretty cool but I went there to listen to M Shadow. Overall it was a great show.
