A fan in Puerto Rico brought a sign with him to the show last night that said his wish was to play drums with Avenged Sevenfold. The band granted him that wish by inviting him up on stage to jam to his song of choice which was “Second Heartbeat.” Pretty sure his life has been made.
Thanks Joanie for finding the video and RockeraPsycho for uploading.

The kid did a really good job. And wow, what a dream come true! More reason to love these guys.
Also, love that the crowd chanted for him at the end there.

Fucking lucky bastard, and fucking lucky bastards who saw Second Heartbeat twice.

Comment by denise November 20, 2011 @ 4:02 pmGrinning like an idiot for this kid. Just when you think our guys couldn’t be any more awesome… :D
Comment by Jennifer Hill (@corruptinnocent) November 20, 2011 @ 4:07 pmI just noticed that the giant deathbat is gone… :( Is it just cuz they didn’t want to bring it to Puerto Rico or are they not gonna use it for the Buried Alive tour???
Comment by Dianna November 20, 2011 @ 4:31 pmNo clue on if it’ll make an appearance on the “Buried Alive” tour but I will say it more than likely didn’t make the trip to Puerto Rico because it’s way too much equipment to be transported for one show.
Comment by deathbatnews November 20, 2011 @ 4:46 pmI love the crowd chanting at the end “Miguel! Miguel!” Gotta love A7X!

Comment by Anonymous November 20, 2011 @ 6:30 pmcan these boys possibly get any more AWESOME!?!?!?! this is why they have such loyal fans-once you’ve been to an A7X show, and you see how they treat their fans, you can’t help but love them for life =D

Comment by Johnny Michael Guerra November 21, 2011 @ 12:54 pmthey didnt slow it down for me, as i said i couldnt hear a crap, but i got back to speed eventualy
Comment by miguel reyes November 21, 2011 @ 12:59 pmI’d imagine it’s pretty hard to keep time in front of thousands of people, without monitors, and with one of the greatest bands today. :P You did awesome man!
Comment by Mike November 21, 2011 @ 4:10 pmif this is really you, good job man.. (y)
Comment by MPa Ralte November 22, 2011 @ 8:05 amThat is too freaking awesome! what a lucky guy. this is one of the many reasons why I love them so much, A7X foREVer <3
Comment by francyA7X November 21, 2011 @ 4:12 pmWow, All I can say is this blew me away! It sent shivers up my spine which is not an easy task. Miguel you rock!! PR has some talented folks down there! Second Heartbeat was not slowed down for Miguel either! Miguel was granted his wish and he made the most of it. I am happy that we all got a chance to see the video. This is just another reason why Avenged is so great! They love their fans and give their fans a chance to show them what they can do! Not very many acts have done that that I know of. Miguel also got to see things from Jimmy’s perspective on stage! I think my heart would have exploded if I had been picked! I think the next time I go to see A7X Im taking a sign saying I want to sing Bat Country cos I can belt that sh*t out but I’d have Shads do the screaming for me cos I kinda suck at that part but I’m working on it! A7X-Making Dreams Come True since 6661!

Comment by Vett November 27, 2011 @ 6:20 amHe is very lucky guy. And he is also very talented guy. I play the drums and Second Heartbeat is very hard song to play. Well done.
