AGENGED SEVEN FOLD IS FINALLY ON AN APPROPRIATE TOUR!!! I always said that most metal-core and a lot of hardcore was dangerously close to becoming top-40 Nu-Metal, and, well, Avenged Sevenfold helped me prove that. I wish I were a hillbilly tough-guy so that I could stop complaining on a silly message board and just go to this show and see my four favorite bands together!

What a shitty tour to start the new year with. I seriously feel bad for a lot of A7X's older fan base. They're probably regretting those A7X tattoos right now. They've become one of the biggest bro bands and are even touring with nothing but frat-boy bands too. It sucks that they used a hardcore scene just to end up making the tripe they make now. Not that I liked them even back then or anything, but it's still pretty obvious.
