Avenged Sevenfold are featured on the AOL homepage today with their About.Me profile. The profile features information on the $25 Party Pass For 25 Hours as well as this written piece:
“We are Avenged Sevenfold, an American rock band from Huntington Beach, California. We formed in 1999, with vocalist M. Shadows, lead guitarist Synyster Gates, rhythm guitarist Zacky Vengeance, bassist Johnny Christ and our dear friend Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan.
Our most recent album Nightmares has marked the begining of a new era for us as a band. We are hitting the road and doing what we love, and at the same time continuing the legacy of “The Rev.” You may have seen us in the past at shows or festivals, but you’ve never seen us like this!
Come check us out this summer on the Rockstar Energy Drink Festival UPROAR Festival at a city near you and see for yourself!”
UPDATE: Zacky Vengeance has sent in a message reiterating that this piece was not written by the band.
UPDATE #2: The About.ME page has been removed.

Comment by brooke August 16, 2011 @ 5:46 pmaka: “We know half of America has seen us on our relentless year long touring cycle but we swear it’s not the same show again! Honest!”
Sounds good to me….

Comment by Anonymous August 16, 2011 @ 6:36 pmthat awkward moment when Zacky tweets you and say it’s not true…
Comment by Anonymous August 16, 2011 @ 6:55 pmWhy would it be awkward? If anything I appreciate him clearing that up. It’s posted as if it were written by the band therefore making it a quotable piece.
Comment by deathbatnews August 16, 2011 @ 7:02 pmThat awkward moment when anon doesn’t realize Zack actually had DBN’s back letting them know that something that looked legit from a trusted source such as AOL, was indeed fake.
Comment by Kristen August 16, 2011 @ 10:32 pm…and this blog post to disappear in three… two…
To be fair, I’m sure they know the name of their current album.
Comment by Ultan August 16, 2011 @ 6:57 pmHaha, nightmares? lol
Comment by PKPistol August 16, 2011 @ 9:48 pmThanks for the update DBN! And of course thanks to Zacky for clearing that up. :)
Comment by JaCaria August 16, 2011 @ 7:00 pmI love how I refresh twitter and saw Zacky reply to you and then you replied back and updated it….it was like “whoa”
Comment by Caulin August 16, 2011 @ 7:04 pmI kind of find it hilarious he tweeted about that. I’m not sure why.
Comment by Jessica August 16, 2011 @ 7:14 pmI wonder how many people are going to think he’s dissing you by responding? All he was doing was letting you know they didn’t write that which I think shows the respect he has for DBN.
Comment by Cal August 16, 2011 @ 7:15 pmI never once saw it as a diss. Zacky obviously has high enough regards for DBN to respond. So I agree, it shows much respect (and very well deserved, in my opinion)! :D
Comment by Rachel August 16, 2011 @ 10:39 pmWay to get everyone excited AOL….>.>
Comment by Alyssa August 16, 2011 @ 7:31 pmanyone notice that the post calls “nightmare”, “nightmares”
Comment by Anonymous August 16, 2011 @ 7:37 pmlol fail
Hahaha just noticed that. awesome. :P
Comment by Alicia S. August 16, 2011 @ 8:15 pmAwesome :D
Comment by A7xFan August 16, 2011 @ 8:06 pmi really wish i could go..but due to lack of money no can do :( :(
Comment by amy August 16, 2011 @ 8:25 pmYou know, when I was first reading it I was kind of thinking to myself it didn’t really sound like them.. Especially the beginning, it’s like a bio in first person haha. But that’s cool zacky set it straight, also let’s you know they still check the site (or twitter) regularly.
Comment by Linds August 16, 2011 @ 8:53 pm*third person ;)
Comment by Angst August 17, 2011 @ 3:23 amDon’t wanna argue about grammar but it actually is first person. Third person is “he, she, they” like a normal bio would be. This post is first person because it’s “we, our (or I).” Soo yeah, just saying… Haha
Comment by Linds August 17, 2011 @ 12:30 pmObv some little twat doing the let’s pretend thing
Comment by sarra August 16, 2011 @ 11:06 pmWhen I first saw this post, I only glanced at the about.me page and focused more on the “You may have seen us in the past at shows or festivals, but you’ve never seen us like this!” part. Reading it now, it doesn’t sound like something the guys or anyone in their camp would write.
Comment by JaCaria August 17, 2011 @ 6:44 amSInce Zacky “cleared up” things, I think that this article can be deleted now. It really makes the band look dumb. Come on – “Nightmares”. Really? Get rid of this. Please.
Comment by Christine Dawson (@christinerawr7) August 17, 2011 @ 8:43 amIt, in no way, makes the band look dumb. If anything it makes whoever wrote it as well as AOL look dumb, especially since it was removed. It wouldn’t make sense to delete the initial post and keep up a message from a band member regarding the situation. It’s not being deleted
