Avenged Sevenfold cancel UK tour

Posted by Meg on Tuesday, September 19, 2006 at 8:00 PM (EDT)

Avenged Sevenfold have announced that they've cancelled their upcoming UK tour with Bleeding Through. Along with cancelling the scheduled dates, the band has also decided to postpone plans for a US Winter tour in order to enter the studio. The band's singer M. Shadows had this to say about the decision:

We love our loyal fans and want to continue giving them the freshest, most awesome show and material possible. We've been playing songs from City of Evil around the world for 15 months and now feel it's time to bring them something new. We're honored by the growing audiences wanting to see our show, but feel an obligation to our fans to always give them the best we have to offer. We've started writing and can't wait for our fans to hear what we're working on.

The band released City Of Evil last year.

Hot Topic would go out of business if they didn't have these guys to single-handedly keep them afloat.

niveK82 (September 19, 2006)

nah, Disney/Touchtone are releasing a 3D version The Nightmare Before Christmas in theaters next month. All the new merch and nolstalgia will keep Hot Topic in the black for another 20-30 years.

Someone (September 19, 2006)

yeah, me neither. I heard ONE song by them (after some cheesy butt-metal intro, and the lyrics 'slit my wrists, take away the pain") and wrote them off--and it was for the best!!

Someone (September 20, 2006)

Yeah ok that new album really sucks, however Sounding the Seventh Trumpet is pretty good. Well, at least the drums.

For once, I agree.

Someone (September 20, 2006)

seriously, you need to stop with the Propagandhi butt humping. they are okay, and a hell of a lot better the A7X, but they are by far, not the greatest band in the world.
get a life and grow up.

this really sucks. this band is SOOO good and when i say good i mean bad.

these guys sound exactly like 18V and that band is even worse.

they should both give it up and start a STP cover band.

Ike_Ness (September 19, 2006)

I know it's about HH, but it should apply to these douches as well.

Bring something new? How about the halfway decent songs from your first 2 albums?

this is the type of shit that drove me to listen to more hip-hop and instrumental bands.

so...you wrote off EVERYTHING but hip hop and instrumental because of one really shitty nu-emo/cock-rock-throwback MTV hype band? Wow...sucks for you.

shit. i just actually read. i'm sorry. carry on.....

Phantom_Maggot (September 19, 2006)

Sounds like a pretty B.S. excuse for cutting a tour short. I wonder if the line-up will stay the same...

northdakotaKILLS (September 19, 2006)

why do people honestly hate avenged sevenfold. i'm not a fan by anymeans, but i'm actually curious.

tell me why you dislike avenged sevenfold. vocals are weak granted, but the guitars are pretty amazing, their solos are very complicated and sound pretty cool. so tell me. and i'm not trying to be a dick either, just trying to understand.

MikeStupid (September 19, 2006)

Mostly because they're nationalistic assholes who spew sexism and homophobia before referring to their fans as "markets."

Musically, they're okay, but they just suck as people.

Coldwaffles (September 19, 2006)

Because I could just as easily listen to Guns and Roses, and the hair, while still stupid, wouldn't be quite as bad.

Coldwaffles (September 19, 2006)

That was supposed to be to the first post, BTW.

puffs (September 19, 2006)

because i love motley crue, and they make me hate motley crue for spawning a motley crue wanna be band. motley crue.

Someone (September 20, 2006)

I would rather listen to a Britney Spears album than any of their albums. I can't explain my hatred for these posing fucks. I am gonna go as far and say I would prefer to see a band like AIDEN than these fucking cunts.

P.S Fuck

Someone (September 20, 2006)

the vocals arent weak, they are horrid, they promote their nikki sixx style, and their solos are boring and have no flow.. its annoying how uninteresting their music is.

Someone (September 19, 2006)

1) This band blows.
2) They're Republicans.
3) They should go hang themselves with barbed wire.

is their tour manager...Ashley Simpson???

Someone (September 20, 2006)

No he doesnt....i wont defend them in anything else, but thats just not fact ive seen them live and it was very obvious that he wasn't lip syncing

Someone (September 20, 2006)

maybe just for ozzfest? That's where this info was gathered.

The tour manager said he lip-syncs due to his voice problems.

blake88 (September 20, 2006)

a7x actually did a mashup song with good charlotte and its on good charlottes next album if this doesnt make them the second lamest band next to good charlotte themselves i dont know what will

Someone (September 20, 2006)

these guys are fucking stupid. it's not because they support bush and are nationalist boneheads, it's because they sounded like your stereotypical rednecks from alabama when they explained why they support conservative values.

Someone (September 20, 2006)

velvet revolver 2: electric boogaloo

while catchy, this band is bad for music.

oh my god, I can totally picture that being a cover on the new album.

I bet Dimebag was pretty pissed when they covered Walk.

insinceredave (September 20, 2006)

Great news for their fans!!

I guess that they just smelt some new shitty trend so they quickly cancelled their shows and jumped into the studio.

I for one can't wait to hear the new material!!
