M. Shadows Gets Nervous And Commits.

Filed under: Avenged Sevenfold

We came across a nice story of a couples engagement and how our very own M. Shadows “shared his own personal story about of the anxiety that goes along with making the commitment to the one you love.” Read the snippet below:

“Just a minute or two later Matt walks out for a quick photo and autograph session near the Tour bus, finally we might be able to talk to the guy. He does his thing, greets his fans while we wait quietly on the side of the mob of people. What was nice about this whole thing was we did get around the barricades from all the other fans thanks to a security guy who understood what the day meant to Laura and I. Matt was able to talk to us a little about our engagement and remembered agreeing to allow me to do it with the band present months ago and wondered why we weren’t taken care of. Then he asked Laura if she was happy and he told us how nervous he was when he asked his girlfriend of almost 12 years to marry him. He signed our tickets with “congrats” on it, We both took a photo with him.

Thanks to: The few security members that understood what was going on for Laura’s big day, AJ from World Audience for really trying to do what she could from California, and finally after meeting members of Avenged Sevenfold it seemed like they actually do care about their fans with numerous congrats from the band members and especially the front man Matt (M. Shadows) who spoke to us in person and shared his own personal story about of the anxiety that goes along with making the commitment to the one you love. So in the end, even going through all the managers and false promises we finally met the band through our own persistence and the band was as humble as we thought, maybe even more so. Although Laura wanted a crazy night of heavy metal fun it turned out to be a very memorable experience because she actually got to connect with her favorite band as opposed to her numerous experiences of concerts.”

In just under 6 month’s Deathbat News has already gotten 90,000+ views!! That is ridiculous!

“Hey Everyone,

Zacky V here to let you all know that as of tonight we wrap up the Taste of Chaos tour. It’s been a blast and we wanna thank everyone who came out and enjoyed it with us. The only problem was that it was too fucking cold so we decided to head down to where it’s warm in Australia, New Zealand and South America. It’s going to to be our first time ever going to South America and we cannot wait, and as for our friends down under it’s been far too long. So with that said, we cannot wait to come and rock you.

zv”
