Awe, that means less time for Avenged to be on stage!

Comment by Ericka

right! ugh..

Comment by kelley

I know, major ughh!

Comment by Ericka

There goes our hopes for a longer setlist…

Comment by Alyssa

Unless they extend the concert time. 3 hours is NOT long enough for 4 bands. :(

Comment by Ericka

I know!

Comment by Alyssa

I saw 7-11:45, that should be enough if the openers keep it short

Comment by Mark

the shorter the openers the better! lol

Comment by RhOnDa

You are kidding me…

Comment by Alyssa

Great another lame band. God I wish Avenged with bands more simaliar to them. Like Bullet or All That Remains. Every tour is full of sorry bands like Halestorm, Papa Roach, Buckcherry. Come on Avenged please do a metal tour and stop with these radio acts. Please! Seein Avenged makes up for it times a million tho. I just wish they’d do a metal tour.

Comment by Josh

I agree 100%! Seeing A7X totally makes up for it, but it’s still kind of disappointing. =/

Comment by Rachel

i dont think the bands are sorry just different genre

Comment by kelley

None of these bands will be around in 3 years. They’re jokes. Sometimes I wonder if Avenged tours with such bands so when they come out they just blow the place away. lol.

Comment by Josh

You’re kidding me right? Papa Roach has been around since 1993.

Comment by Francis

Are you calling Stone Sour a joke? I understand calling Undead and maybe New Medicine, but Stone Sour? I think not.

Comment by Tabatha

Thank you to the person who corrected Josh on his comment about Papa Roach (10+ years and more albums than A7X sorry) and Halestorm has been around for almost 10 years, just bc you didn’t know of them doesn’t mean they did’t exist. I’m glad you didn’t say anything about Stone Sour specifically bc I might have had to slap some sense into.
but on another note, since the dawn of time or concerts for that matter, yea you have newer, less established bands as openers. If it was BFMV, ATR, and A7X they’d have to be called co-headliners. you’re not going to change this fact no matter how much you complain. its the way the industry works.

Comment by mzlaura

Idk.. i saw Slipknot one year and Trivium and Coheed and Cambria open for them. they are pretty big.

Comment by Rye

jeebus. clearly people here have not seen HU live. they are maniacs, very supportive of other acts, and great guys.

New Meds needs some work, but it’ll be a fantastic opportunity for them. they could probably learn quite a bit from SS and Avenged.

this seems like a pretty good line up to me :D at least it ain’t Buckcherry.

Comment by wench

Agreed

Comment by Lowell

Thats what im sayin!! I wanna see Avenged tour with Trivium or Volbeat

Comment by Warnerve6661

That would be sick! Volbeat Open up, then Trivium, and Avenged headline. Now that would be the shittt!

Comment by Josh

you’re right
it was SO awesome when i saw a7x and all that remains at a radio show in syracuse. They should totally tour together

Comment by Anonymous

completely agreed!!

Comment by RhOnDa

Out of all the horrible bands A7X have toured with Hollywood Undead tops them all. I cannot believe A7X will tour with them. That’s just terrible.

Comment by Josh

I mean seriously do hollywood undead even play instruments? C’mon A7X please tour with better musicians. Even Atreyu would be better than these losers

Comment by Josh

you guys are stupid you talk crap aout all thse bands well you know what their the ones out there aking music nd tour while you sit on the sidelines and talk BS well you know what most of the bands A7X tour wit the band actually likes so get your head out of your @$$e$ and pay attention hoolywood undead doesnt suck they are rap metal different genre and stop saying bands wont be around because A7X doesnt even know if they are sticking around

Comment by A7X4LIFEBITCHES

…..Huh?

Comment by Alyssa

Wow. Typical HU fan message.

Comment by John

youve gotta point man. im not very fond of hu but they do have some bad ass songs and some not so good that are more rap than maetal. and a7x is not gonna be around for ever thats why it doesnt matter who opens for them. each time i see them could be the last

Comment by aphid315

Hollywood Undead are one of Zacky’s absolute favorite bands! You’d also know that he and Matt both play golf with some of the HU boys, on a regular basis!

Comment by Joelle

theyre prolly touring with them because they like em

Comment by RhOnDa

MY ASS!!! now i wanna go even more bad!!!!!!!!! i effin love that band!!! Please brian, zacky, matt, johhny, MP!!! PLEASE come to TEXAS PLEAAASSE!!! Larry Jacobson? please dude this is a great lineup!!!!!!!

Comment by Noel

i wish! i dont care for the rest of them nearly as much, but theyre ok. agh they need to come to texas

Comment by Ryan

Anyone else think new medicine was bad at uproar? I personally am not a fan of this lineup, a7x and SS are good, but the other two I would never pay to see. Just an opinion ofcourse

Comment by Floppy454

I agree. I wouldn’t see any of these bands for free. It disappoints me that they’d tour with such bands.

Comment by Josh

new medicine was ok on uproar but nothin special… im assuming the guys r touring with bands like this 2 help their publicity but i really think they need 2 tour with bands that r closer sounding musically… like bullet for my valentine would be good since they’re my 2nd fave band lol

Comment by RhOnDa

Myabe they just aren’t ready for a full headlining tour just yet..they might need some more time to heal, so maybe touring with more openers will help them settle more. I don’t know about anyone else, but it almost makes me want to wait on going to any of the dates just yet.
-dreams in her mind that A7X is going on a tour with BFMV, and Children of Bodom-

Comment by Alyssa

I would totally see a tour with A7x, BFMV, and Children of Bodom. That would kick ass. My personal ideal lineup would be something like Black Tide opening, Trivium playing an hour long set, and then Avenged getting a full headlining set.

Comment by Drew

Defiantly. There among those guys in terms of musicianship genre. There better than who there going with now.. They should tour with slipknot as opposed to SS. People would DIE.

Comment by Floppy454

Ugh I really don’t like Slipknot either though lol. I can’t stand Corey Taylor’s voice, and their riffs sounds like a retarded vacuum cleaner lol. Getting a band like Trivium or CoB or All That Remains would be way better.

Comment by Drew

im sorry but Children of Bodom is Melodic Death Metal… a7x and BFMV are hard rock to some extent metalcore…. switch bodom out for either a nu metal band or a hard rock band just stating that fact…. Bodom with Mayhem Vehemence and Amon Amarth now that’s a tour i could see them doing

Comment by Anonymous

Hollywood undead is so sick. New medicine sucks. Stone sour is okay just cause of Corey Taylor. And well a7x is the best

Comment by Anonymous

I was pretty fuckin shocked when I say HU was touring with A7x. But either way, Avenged is the best band that’s gonna be there, so that’s all that matters. If I have to listen to fuckin Hannah Montana to get to A7x, I will.

Comment by Tiffany

Who?

Comment by Jake

Well whilst I can’t go I’d love to see Hollywood Undead. But 4 bands is just too much. I hate it when a band has two support acts!
In Leeds, England, A7X were supporting Stone Sour instead of headlining the show that night and I just left as soon as A7X finished. I hate support bands, they’re not what you paid for and 3 is just way too much.

Comment by Sarah

lol most tours have three openers. I just saw Atreyu on Sunday and they had four fucking openers, and all of them were terrible. If you are ever considering going to a show that the Chiodos are playing, run for the hills. They suck.

Comment by Drew

agreed.

Comment by RhOnDa

When I read that Hollywood Undead was going to be in the tour with Avenged Sevenfold I was listening to “Young” by them. A7X is still the best band in the world – I mean the universe.

Comment by Synester00

i cant even see them :( in this tour

Comment by emilyA7X

does anybody know where can i buy the tickets? :)

Comment by A7x foREVer

2 openers was perfect. 3? come on. I saw them at the HOB in Atlantic City in 06 and there were 4 fucking openers. The last opener was booed off after their first song. Tensions were bad after the third opener. This tour doesn’t need another opener. A7X and Stone Sour should be the tour. They could lose HU too.

Comment by Tommy

Stop complaining, no one’s forcing you to stand there listening to them. If you don’t want to see them then get there a little later or go do something else. Maybe A7X heard their music and wanted to give them a chance to be heard by a bigger audience. Seriously, the band already did so much for us and you are asking them to play a longer set just because you don’t like the openers.

Thank you!

Comment by SS

I was hesitant to go just because of Hollywood Undead. Now this shit??? No, I don’t have to just accept it. It’s bullshit and most of the fans don’t enjoy that terrible music. All the scene kids at my school listen to Hollywood Undead, I can’t stand it. Might just wait until the next tour now..

Comment by nick

if you were a true a7x fan you’d sit through HU’s shit to see them. quit your bitching.

Comment by Alanah

I don’t mind Hollywood Undead or New Medicine. I actually like some of their songs. I love Stone Sour. I just hope the opening acts keep it short so A7X has a long time to play :)

Comment by Nikki FoREVer

This.

Comment by Zant

FUCK YEA!
those guys were pretty tight on uproar tour
cant wait to see em again

Comment by mike

Interesting, wonder if the beef with slipknot and stone sour will cause a problem with corey taylor on this tour

Comment by stores
