Things around here are pretty slow and we can only hope that news on Avenged Sevenfold’s next album is just around the corner! While we all patiently wait we figured we’d throw a little something-something in here. The 2010 Peoples Choice Awards are coming up soon and the website has launched it’s nominees! We saw one thing that was a bit weird about these awards though, Avenged Sevenfold is missing from the Favorite Rock Band category! Lucky us, you can nominate the band! All you have to do is head here – select “Other,” type in Avenged Sevenfold and cast your vote! You guys are the People, voice your vote!
Congratulations to M. Shadows who got married today.
