Comment by deathbatnews January 19, 2011 @ 4:45 amGod I’m so beyond stoked… Going to the show on Saturday in Lowell with two buds of mine.. Can’t wait to see what the set has in store, of course excited for the stage set up, and excited I finally get to see them in a headlining show. Last time I saw them back in July it was just a warm up show for Uproar with them opening up for Limp Bizkit. This show’s gonna be way better :D
Comment by Kim January 19, 2011 @ 4:50 amI feel the same way! I was there for them opening for Limp and they definitely should have headlined, Limp didn’t put on near as good a show as they did! I’ll be there Saturday too and I’m so stoked!
Comment by Elin January 19, 2011 @ 6:08 amThats the last time I saw them too, in July, it was a great show, they far out did Limp in my opinion! I cannot wait to see them Saturday!
Comment by Elin January 19, 2011 @ 6:37 amI was at that show as well. Went for A7X and A7X only. Despite opening, I thought they played a fairly long set for an opening act. Can’t wait for Saturday!!!
Comment by Weber January 19, 2011 @ 1:35 pmThey really did, I would have been perfectly happy if they’d just decided to forget about Limp…LOL
Comment by Elin January 19, 2011 @ 4:55 pmI’m going to the Lowell show also. There’s like 15 of us coming from VT.

Comment by kayla. January 19, 2011 @ 12:35 pmAlso seeing them in Knoxville, and the last time I saw them was in Atlanta on the Uproar tour (9-4-10) where once again they should of headlined.
Comment by A7X_RKO January 19, 2011 @ 1:58 pmDBN Fans meet’n’greet perhaps?
Comment by Timmons January 19, 2011 @ 2:19 pmI’m driving 4 hours from Bama to see them in Knoxville!! Can’t wait!!
Comment by Haley January 19, 2011 @ 3:02 pmCan’t wait for the Knoxville show!
Comment by Jackie January 19, 2011 @ 10:12 pmI can’t go see them now that they canceled the San Jose date. :/ But I hope they have a blast! Love’m foREVer. <3
Comment by Atrum January 19, 2011 @ 4:51 amsame here ! i kinda cant believe they arent coming to CA, but hopefully they do !
Comment by shannox January 19, 2011 @ 2:19 pmI hope so too
Comment by EmilyA7X January 19, 2011 @ 7:42 pmcant wait for them to announce an Australian tour :)
Comment by Erin January 19, 2011 @ 4:51 amall of the other options! ahhhh cant wait!
Comment by Sara January 19, 2011 @ 4:51 amAHHH I can’t wait!! 17 more days until I see them in Detroit. I have a countdown on my door. :)
I’m most excited to see the new production (though idk how much of it I will actually see, if the crowd is anything like it was in Vegas), and just to see them on stage again!! I’m already dreading the epic post-concert blues I know are coming though… =/
Comment by Rachel January 19, 2011 @ 4:51 amIm seeing them there as well! It’ll be such an amazing concert!!
Comment by Nate January 19, 2011 @ 5:17 amThe crowd was horrendous in Vegas. I’ve never been more irritated by A7x fans before.
Comment by Drew January 19, 2011 @ 6:55 pmWow really? Vegas is the only A7X show I’ve been to, so I have nothing to compare it to, but the crowd was actually better than than MCR concert I went to later that month.
Anyway, I just assumed that’s how the crowd usually is. What was different than usual that made it worse?
Comment by Rachel January 20, 2011 @ 5:34 amLots of really obnoxious fangirls and an extremely rowdy crowd. That was by far the worst crowd I’ve had to deal with in the seven times I’ve seen A7x.
Comment by Drew January 20, 2011 @ 4:39 pmim going to the baltimore show on sunday.
Comment by jason January 19, 2011 @ 4:55 amme too!!!!

Catching the kick off show in PA tomorrow & in MA on Saturday……the only thing making me nervous is that freaking ass snow storm they are forcasting for Fri, my in between driving day! Ughhh…well at least no snow tomorrow or Sat…I hope =)))
Comment by Alaura Christine January 19, 2011 @ 5:36 amMy son and I wanted to go on this tour sooo bad but they aren’t coming close enough to us this time around and I can’t afford a road trip this soon after Xmas. Oh well we did get to see them at Darien Lake on the Uproar tour in August. It was awesome! Looking forward to reading reviews and seeing the pics from the tour even though I won’t be there :(
Comment by Kelly January 19, 2011 @ 5:40 amI will be there tomorrow! I’m so excited! I missed Uproar which bummed me out, so I’m even more ready for this date! Can’t wait to see the stage set up!
Comment by Samantha January 19, 2011 @ 5:41 amBALTIMORE!!! It’s been three long years since I’ve seen them – super anxious to witness the new drummer.
Comment by Bobbi January 19, 2011 @ 5:42 amI can’t wait to see these guys!!!! Next Wednesday, Knoxville, TN…just one week away!!! And it looks like it may be a sold out show, if not sold out, close to it. :)
Comment by Maven Rena January 19, 2011 @ 5:44 amI’m going tomorrow with my girlfriend and her sister who I made a7x fans..I’m excited to see the production!! I’m a little nervous about my saftey in readding tho haha
Comment by josh January 19, 2011 @ 5:51 amI’m going to tomorrow also, and i’m scared for my safety too lol. I heard its a very bad place down there, but i’m sure they’ll have a lot of security though.
Comment by Nikki January 19, 2011 @ 12:27 pmI am seeing the guys in reading tomorrow as well. I have been to that same venue in reading (where A7X is playing) and yes, it can become pretty bad down there, but it also depends on the band, how decent the security is, etc.
Comment by Alyssa January 19, 2011 @ 2:40 pmWhat time you guys lining up to the sovergn center?
Comment by josh January 19, 2011 @ 4:23 pmWe are getting there very early, since we will be in the pit, but I believe that the doors open at 5:30.. (according the the Sovereigns website)
Comment by Alyssa January 19, 2011 @ 5:18 pmI’m in the pit n I wana get there early too, I don’t mind the cold but I’m more worried about my girlfriend and her sister getn sick or something. I was thinking 3ish..u think that’s too late? Its my first time going to a show at this venu haha. Saw em in scranton for uproar n got there an hour n a half early n was fine but I know here will be different
Comment by josh January 19, 2011 @ 5:33 pmHaha, we went to the Scranton show as well! And we were in the pit for that one too. :P
Comment by Alyssa January 19, 2011 @ 6:35 pmYeah, around 3 is when we will be getting there, but we are going to stand and wait around 4ish.
Haha thanks, sorry I needed a secnd opinion. Hope you guys have fun!
Comment by josh January 19, 2011 @ 7:01 pmCan’t wait for Knoxville! …To be in their presence and to be able to watch and listen to these guys play live will be amazing!!
Anyone attending the first show of the tour tomorrow, please post the setlist ASAP

Comment by mrags2818 January 19, 2011 @ 6:08 amI’m so freakin excited! I’ve got pit tickets to the show in Cincinnati, and I can’t wait to finally see the band live!
Comment by Steven Curry January 19, 2011 @ 6:11 amI’ll be at the Lowell show on Saturday and I’m rediculously excited for it. *fingers crossed weather stays good so they make it and all the fans make it safely to the show* I haven’t seen them since opening for Limp in Connecticut last summer, so I’m beyond excited to see a headlining show, a full setlist, their stage setup, all of it. But most especially I’m looking forward to be standing there feeling their music with a crowd of other Avenged fans. Theres nothing like an Avenged show I’ve found.
Comment by Elin January 19, 2011 @ 6:15 amSet list. I saw them on uproar from the barrier. Nothing will beat that. Seeing them in Lexington next Friday. can’t wait!
Comment by nikki v January 19, 2011 @ 6:16 amI can’t wait! Seeing them Saturday! I hope they play Save me!
Comment by rob January 19, 2011 @ 6:19 amO.O If they played Save Me, I would DIE.
Comment by Bobbi January 19, 2011 @ 10:06 amI will be there in Reading tomorrow. I can’t wait. NO amount of snow is going to stop me even if I have to higher sled dogs. I can’t wait to see the show.
Comment by Crista January 19, 2011 @ 6:21 amSeeing them in Grand Island, NE! Possibly gonna be backstage! Going with girlfriend, roommate, best friend and his girlfriend, so it will be a blast! Can’t wait! Hopefully save me? Please!
Comment by Anonymous January 19, 2011 @ 6:23 amWell since they decided new york city doesnt have any fans or anything, I cant really see them live. I really hope they do a second leg because I’ve been really excited to see them live and was dissapointed when the tour dates came out. I do hope they play save me as the encore thing.
Comment by Anonymous January 19, 2011 @ 6:23 amThe band doesn’t hand pick where they play.
Comment by deathbatnews January 19, 2011 @ 6:31 amI could be way off base here, but aren’t some of the dates for this tour, or maybe all of them, places they didn’t go on Uproar? I know New England missed out completely on Uproar, we haven’t had a headlining show yet from them. They played Mayhem on cd release day and opened for Limp Bizkit that weekend, but we haven’t seen anything else since. So maybe that has something to do with where this tour is going?
Comment by Elin January 19, 2011 @ 6:43 amThat’s what I was thinking…I was so mad when they didn’t come to Michigan doing Uproar..but now they are coming twice!
Comment by Jake January 19, 2011 @ 8:08 amI felt the same way about Uproar when they skipped New England completely, I mean, thats leaving out 6 states! So I was very excited to see we’re getting this tour, now if only they gave us more than one date…. lol
Comment by Elin January 19, 2011 @ 10:42 amYep, same with Michigan. Uproar didn’t come to Michigan at all, and I remember when Zacky called in to 89X he said that Detroit was one of the places they were really trying to get a show, since they missed us on Uproar.
Comment by Rachel January 19, 2011 @ 8:21 amI don’t know if they said anything the same about New England, but we did get their Mayhem show and their opening for Limp Bizkit…but those weren’t even close to Uproar is my guess. Can’t wait for Saturday!
Comment by Elin January 19, 2011 @ 10:43 amThey headlined taste of chaos in Portland in ’06 or ’07. With atreyu and bfmv.
Comment by Phil January 19, 2011 @ 2:40 pm’08.
Comment by deathbatnews January 19, 2011 @ 2:44 pmNo, I completely understand that, I just mean since Rev’s death and in the past year they haven’t headlined in New England and the two shows they did here in the week of their CD release were warmups for Uproar, so maybe some of these dates are those places they didn’t hit on Uproar.
Comment by Elin January 19, 2011 @ 4:52 pmYeah. When they were supposed to play in Knoxville in 2008, A7X wasn’t here because of Matt’s throat. They also did not come here for the Uproar Tour. I can’t wait for them to play here! :)
Comment by Jackie January 19, 2011 @ 10:24 pmI still cant believe they aren’t comin to CA. But im excited to see some vids on youtube and hopefully “Save Me”
Comment by Zzz January 19, 2011 @ 6:24 amDBN NOTE: See the following comment: https://deathbatnews.wordpress.com/2011/01/19/the-nightmare-after-christmas-tour-kicks-off-tomorrow/#comment-62999
Comment by Zzz January 19, 2011 @ 6:38 amthats pretty vague but ok
Comment by Zzz January 19, 2011 @ 9:13 amIt means if a part of your comment has been edited out or your comment hasn’t been approved at all there’s a reason I can’t allow it to be brought up.
Comment by deathbatnews January 19, 2011 @ 9:28 amSorry for getting upset. I’ve just been dying to know and I had to wake up super early for school today so I was a little grumpy.
Comment by Zzz January 19, 2011 @ 1:14 pmIt’s quite alright. Just know there’s a reason that comments (and posts) regarding the … unknown subject .. are not allowed.
Comment by deathbatnews January 19, 2011 @ 2:13 pmIm going to the Knoxville show! Anybody hear if the set list is changing from the Uproar tour? I saw them in Birminham, it was a kick ass set. I just wanna hear something a lil different.
Comment by Bryan January 19, 2011 @ 6:32 amI Would Be Going To The Lowell Show But I Cant. Bad Grades.. Hope Its A Good Show.. :,( i hope that the rumors of the 2012 tour in usa is true..
Comment by foREVerTJ January 19, 2011 @ 6:34 amOnly Thing I Have To look forward To. And Its A year away. ill start counting down now then!

Comment by Chandler Fyfe January 19, 2011 @ 6:41 amIt’ll be worth it for sure! I’ll be there too :)
Comment by Elin January 19, 2011 @ 7:38 amHollywood Undead and A7X are probably my two favorite bands at the moment (A7X for life), but I can’t see them since they aren’t performing at CA.
Comment by Synester00 January 19, 2011 @ 6:43 amHope everybody has a blast.
I can not wait! February 4th in Battle Creek!!!!
Comment by Jake January 19, 2011 @ 7:14 amAnd I am excited for all of the above too!!!!
Comment by Jake January 19, 2011 @ 7:16 amOh I so can’t wait! And the best part is after I see them in Battle Creek, I get to see it all over again at the Palace!! AHHHHHH!! Fucking Awesome!!!
Comment by Matt January 19, 2011 @ 2:37 pmGoing to see them Feb 1 in Moline, IL!!! Can’t wait to see the new production and new set list!
Comment by annie January 19, 2011 @ 7:20 amMe too!
Comment by zach January 19, 2011 @ 6:15 pmKnoxville!!!!!!!
Comment by Laura January 19, 2011 @ 7:41 amSeeing them in Cincinnati on the 29th. My best friend and I are taking the road trip and I’m just excited to see the guys again no matter what they play. I’m also pretty stoked on seeing Stone Sour again, they won me over on Uproar.
Everyone drive safe!
Comment by Harley Quinn January 19, 2011 @ 7:55 ami would love to see them but im not traveling 6 hours to boise…id rather wait then go to a show with a bunch of BJC (BSU) fans…
Comment by BC January 19, 2011 @ 7:55 amLa Crosse on Feb. 2nd!
Comment by Cory January 19, 2011 @ 7:57 amGoing to Reading tomorrow night. Pretty excited just to see them again, but everything else is exciting, too. :D They never fail to amaze me on stage. HU is pretty good onstage, as well.
Comment by Jennifer Vee January 19, 2011 @ 7:57 amBattle Creek in 16 Days!!! I’m nervous but extremely excited! A7X BEYOND LIFE!!!
Comment by TrevorA7XES January 19, 2011 @ 7:58 amI am attending the Reading show tomorrow and I will give full details on their stage set up and their set list no problem!
Comment by Cory January 19, 2011 @ 8:02 amI’m catching them Feb 5 in Detroit (hopefully, I’m flying in the day before from Poland!). Did they say they will have a brand new stage set? Honestly I think that, ’cause it’s a mostly secondary markets tours, they will have the same stage set up as last year on Uproar and they will add Bad Country and Seize The Day to the setlist, like in Europe. Hope I’m wrong though. Keeping my fingers crossed for Second Heartbeat!!
Comment by wickerman January 19, 2011 @ 8:03 amwhy the hey did they cancel san jose??
Comment by Anonymous January 19, 2011 @ 8:06 amIll be there 2morrow in PA! Driving 2 hours from jersey to go see it but itll be worth it!
Comment by Chris January 19, 2011 @ 8:22 amGoing tomorrow!!!! Stoked about everything… production, set list, seeing them again, ..also real excited about stone sour and Hollywood undead… really looking to mosh it up!!!!!!
Comment by brian January 19, 2011 @ 8:24 amcant wait goin to the west va show shits gonna be wild very first sevenfold show huge fan hope i dont go to jail for raping johnny ;)
Comment by brandon January 19, 2011 @ 8:25 amim just excited for the energy theyre known to bring an of course the new set list.
Comment by Anonymous January 19, 2011 @ 8:33 amI’m still trying to find a way to go tomorrow. It’s 2 hours away from where I live, but it’s the closest stop… I’m looking forward to the new production. I’m also really really hoping they mess with the set list a little more. Add some diversity to it. Perhaps play a couple more songs than usual, because they’re usually on and off the stage relatively quickly. Also, Save Me as an encore would be mind-blowing… but difficult to pull off and when the band has been off the road for a month.. Here’s to hoping they practiced! hahaha
Comment by Tommy January 19, 2011 @ 8:38 amid be excited for all that, but theyre not even coming anywhere in California ! im hoping they add some new dates really bad ! :( ive never missed a show here, and every time i see them its just as exciting as always ! :) and with how bad ass theyre last show was im super stoked to see what else theyre gonna do
Comment by Kyle January 19, 2011 @ 8:41 ammy favorite show is tied between the last one in Los Angeles with the Rev and the Uproar tour show
Comment by Kyle January 19, 2011 @ 8:48 amHell yeah!!
Comment by Carriebelle January 19, 2011 @ 8:42 amI’ll be seeing them next week in Knoxville!<33
FUCKING SUCKS they’re not coming to Toronto :( they come here like, once every 3 years for a new album :(
Comment by Bob January 19, 2011 @ 8:59 amGoing tomorrow and Saturday. Picking up a rental car later and making the 5 hour drive all alone. :-/ but, my hotel room has a lil kitchen and dvd player. PARTY! :-) And i would LOVE if they added second heartbeat and/or chapter four to the setlist. I’m also hoping it’s not too cold or gross out saturday night. My mom is going and she really wants to meet them, but if it’s too bad, i know she won’t want to wait.
Comment by April January 19, 2011 @ 9:00 amIt’s so cool that your mom is a fan too!! My mom hates them. xD Just out of curiosity, where do you plan to wait to try to meet them? I’ve never tried meeting anyone outside of meet and greets, so I’m totally clueless.
Comment by Rachel January 19, 2011 @ 9:41 amMeeting at Tsongas is difficult, some venues are easier than others. I’ve tried at Tsongas before and gotten nowhere because its so easy for security to keep you away from where the busses are and its easy for the bands to avoid the fans too. Its usually a matter of finding your way as close to the busses as you can get and security will let you and then waiting…and waiting….and waiting… I once waited for a band till 4am only to get fed up and go home because they’d gone to see a movie. Other bands come out immediately to greet fans outside. It all depends on the band and the venue. Sometimes security makes it difficult for the band to meet fans.
Comment by Elin January 19, 2011 @ 10:47 amI am so excited that they are back on the road! Avenged and Stone Sour make a rocking combination. I just wish that they were stopping in New Jersey or at least the New York area. I won’t be seeing them this time around, but I hope that everyone who does has a great time!
Comment by Alessandra January 19, 2011 @ 9:03 amFEB 4th in battle creek and I’m most excited for the new setlist!
Comment by Kevinzahn7 January 19, 2011 @ 9:21 amWoo Kevin me too!!! Hope you and Tommy can find us :p
Comment by nate January 19, 2011 @ 10:24 pmI’m excited for everything. I’m attending the Eugene Show,and I’m dieing to go DX
Hoping 4AM is on the new setlist,along with Save Me and other shit.
Comment by Derek January 19, 2011 @ 9:39 amComing from toronto for the detroit so stoked:D I’m excited for all the questions..seeing a7x again,setlist production all of it :D :D
Comment by Anonymous January 19, 2011 @ 9:44 amEverything you listed! And it’s my second A7X concert, but my first on the floor.
Comment by Tabatha January 19, 2011 @ 9:51 amOh my god you’re gonna love it. There’s nothing like being so close just fucking feeling the music with members of the A7X family all around you.
Comment by Rachel January 19, 2011 @ 10:31 am(On the floor, I mean.)
Comment by Rachel January 19, 2011 @ 10:32 amdeathbat lady will you post the setlist if you find out?…when you find out?

Comment by steph January 19, 2011 @ 11:24 amCINCINNATI 1/29!!! Stoked.
Very excited to see the new production (PYRO and FIRE I hope!)
Thrilled to see the boys coming to my city for a change instead of me having to travel!
I’ll be bringing some newly minted Avenged Sevenfold fans for their first live show. Should be a blast. Kick ass boys!
Comment by Dave January 19, 2011 @ 10:08 amTOMORROW! reading pa. Excited about it all… especially the new setlist. really hoping they throw in a few (or all) of city of evil songs. esp seize the day. Ive seen them 3 times before this and they have never played seize the day. also stoked about the new production, i wonder what it will be! loloolol.
Comment by willxthexthrill January 19, 2011 @ 10:19 amI can’t wait to see the set-list. Hopefully Save Me is played.
Comment by Steeeeeve January 19, 2011 @ 10:27 amIf they play anything from Sounding or Waking besides Unholy Confessions I am going to be so pissed off. Been dying to see We Come Out At Night or Eternal Rest again.
Comment by Brandon January 19, 2011 @ 10:36 amYou’re lucky you’ve seen Eternal Rest. That’s one of my all time favorite songs, and I’ve never seen it (even though I’ve seen Avenged live 7 times).
Comment by Drew January 19, 2011 @ 7:00 pmKnoxville in 7 days AND Lexington in 9 days!!!!!!!!
Comment by Chelsea January 19, 2011 @ 10:36 amI’m super stoked on all of the above! I’m going to be at the Knoxville TN show Wednesday of next week.

Comment by Rachael January 19, 2011 @ 11:53 amI hope I get a souvenir! xD
I’m taking my gf to her first rock concert and A7X show in Lexington ky. I’m so excited for everything. Ive seen them multiple times and absolutely cannot wait. Hope she enjoys it too.
Comment by Gary S January 19, 2011 @ 11:58 amSo bummed that Avenged aren’t coming to Cali…I miss them! Wish I had a show to look forward to. But there’s always the next tour. Hope everyone that gets to go has a blast :) A7X foREVer <3

Comment by Mike January 19, 2011 @ 12:11 pm13. Save Me
It seems like a realistic set list
Comment by Tommy January 19, 2011 @ 12:56 pmRealistic in what sense? The guys play for 70 minutes max
Comment by Anonymous January 19, 2011 @ 6:01 pmNah, in Vegas they actually played all of those songs minus Second Heartbeat and Save Me. And they played Almost Easy AND Seize the Day. So the set was really only about 10 minutes shorter than Mike’s “realistic” one. It could happen.
Comment by Rachel January 20, 2011 @ 5:41 amI’m going to the Reading, PA show tomorrow! I never got to see them live yet, so i’m so excited. I can’t wait to find out the setlist and the stage setup. I definitely won’t get any sleep tonight, lol.
Comment by Nikki January 19, 2011 @ 12:33 pmIm going to the Reading, PA one and i am so stoked. its going to suck not seeing jimmy there and this is the first time im seeing avenged live. i know its going to be worth it because it has always been my dream to see them live. the only downfall is i live like 2 hours away and im being forced to go to school the next day..woo for making it to the bus at 6:30 am :P

Omg that would be an amazing setlist. I think I might die of happiness if they played To End the Rapture.
Comment by Rachel January 19, 2011 @ 2:23 pmWell I was supposed to go to the Reading show but its 3hrs away from me(I live in NJ) and I also have midterms the next day :( I pray that they come to NJ next time and also not on a test date.
Comment by Allison January 19, 2011 @ 1:39 pmEveryone else have fun :D I can’t wait to know about it
I saw them in August and I’m going to see them again on Sunday in Baltimore and I’m soooooo excited. I’ve read that it’s going to be a whole new show so I’m pretty stoked to see what they changed. This weeks pretty hectic though, midterms all week, SATs on Saturday… then 2 hour road trip to Baltimore to see my favorite band <333

Pingback by Top Posts — WordPress.com January 19, 2011 @ 4:09 pmhonestly, I’m getting kind of upset that you won’t talk about the ‘unknown subject’. DBN is a fan site, you’ve posted rumors before. this is just another rumor. I’m guessing that someone told DBN not to talk about it, whether the someone be Sevenfold or somebody in their camp. I feel as if this is becoming a ‘band’ site and less of a fan site. Don’t get me wrong, I love DBN and Avenged, but I feel as if this is an important, and if you should ever post a rumor this would be one of them.
Comment by Seth January 19, 2011 @ 5:14 pmUnfortunately, this isn’t just a rumor. It’s a sensitive subject. This will always be a site for you guys. I love my readers but I have loyalty and integrity to uphold and I will do that though the band are not the ones that asked me to withold the information. I hope you can understand.
Comment by deathbatnews January 19, 2011 @ 5:18 pmdon’t get all menopausal. respect the band and their decision to keep it a secret, it’s gonna be just that much more special the longer you don’t know.
Comment by nick January 19, 2011 @ 5:26 pmI suppose I can see where you come from. But still, I feel as if DBN is going behind our back on this one. However I feel there is more behind the subject than what I previously thought. But don’t worry, still love this friggin’ site. C:
as for you ‘nick’. Shh. I am not ‘menopausal’. I’m speaking my mind and just voicing my concerns. I’m not disrespecting anybody’s decision. Just asking about it.
Comment by Seth January 19, 2011 @ 5:34 pmkthxbai.
you say that this is becoming a “band” site instead of a fan site, but i dont see any conflict there. the band has our best interests in mind, if they didnt they would lose fans. posting rumors is all well and good unless the band explicitly tells her not to, then it would just serve to undermine the band, and i dont think anyone wants that.
Comment by Mark January 19, 2011 @ 7:09 pmThank’s for this. The band did not ask me not to but I’m more comfortable letting them do the talking on this one, I think fans deserve to hear an announcement like this from them and not me.
Comment by deathbatnews January 19, 2011 @ 7:15 pmI see why you didn’t post that thing I sent you now. If it’s your decision to let the band announce it without someone else doing it in advance, then I (as well as the rest of the fans on this site) will respect it.
Comment by Gabby7x January 19, 2011 @ 7:56 pmi think that is totally awesome of you. I think we as fans should respect the band and how they choose to handle this situation. I actually think keeping it a surprise is a good idea for several reasons.
Comment by Bianca January 19, 2011 @ 10:52 pmThen I think what you should have done was just not put the first comment up there, and then delete everyone’s comment that had to do with it. Because I’ve had a few people contact me with worry. You’re making it seem like there will be a bad announcement made, which I’m not sure of. If you’re not going to tell us the rumor, then you shouldn’t let us know there is one.
Comment by Anonymous January 20, 2011 @ 4:02 amDeleting comments is going to show something’s up to begin with. I wanted to address the fact (with the first comment) that if a comment was not approved or edited there was a reason. Therefore, if you make a comment about the drummer and that part is edited out or you leave a comment about him strictly and it’s not approved it should be obvious. People made their own assumptions and started to worry – I didn’t do that. I was asked to moderate comments having to do with him (not by the band) and that’s what I did. However, that won’t be happening anymore. In the end, I also made the decision personally to not post any rumors having to do with who he is, etc. because I feel like something like that should be heard from the band themselves.
Comment by deathbatnews January 20, 2011 @ 4:32 amKennewick, WA! Feb 12!!! I think im gonna cheat tomorrow and look at the setlist. Its too hard not to.
Comment by Jasmin January 19, 2011 @ 5:36 pmIt’ll be here :)
Comment by deathbatnews January 19, 2011 @ 5:44 pmTHEY NEED SOME DATES IN CANADA
Comment by Baltej January 19, 2011 @ 5:47 pmI know!!
Comment by A January 19, 2011 @ 5:54 pmMaybe they’re just afraid of the cold, lol
I KNOW!!! If they don’t announce any im considering driving down to the closest location to see this tour.
Comment by Dylan January 19, 2011 @ 5:56 pm69.5 hours till the Nightmare After Christmas Tour that I am attending! There gonna be the longest hours of my life. haha. Excitement doesn’t even start to cover what I’m feeling. My second A7X show in 5 months, what’s better than that?
Comment by Jamie January 19, 2011 @ 5:53 pm:)
3 shows in 5 months….hahahahah
Comment by Jake January 19, 2011 @ 6:09 pm2 shows in 2 weeks (in 2 different countries) :P
Comment by Bianca January 19, 2011 @ 10:54 pmThank you DBN…I respect what you are doing…considering it must not be easy…I best stop talking before I start to talk about things I shouldn’t….hahah
Comment by Jake January 19, 2011 @ 6:02 pmThank you.
Comment by deathbatnews January 19, 2011 @ 6:13 pmo hell yea i cant wait for tmmro its gonna be great cant wait to see a7x for the 3rd time in 6 mons hahahaha

Comment by -forever avenged- January 19, 2011 @ 6:24 pmI would love to go see them again live, but they aren’t coming to Texas. :[
Comment by Jocelyn January 19, 2011 @ 6:46 pmHope its an updated set list with more city of evil songs! and I hope fans can support the new drummer or at least give him a chance :)
Comment by Agustin January 19, 2011 @ 6:46 pmdbn, will you post pictures and videos if you find them tomorrow ?
Comment by (; January 19, 2011 @ 6:49 pmOf course! Maybe not tomorrow but when they come in I will.
Comment by deathbatnews January 19, 2011 @ 6:49 pmGoing to Lowell and I’m pumped! Can’t wait for everything, but I just hope it’s not the same show that I saw the last time. Stone Sour is great as well :P

I wish they were coming to Colorado, oh well saw them at uproar and maybe they will come out here later in the year or next year, I will wait until then. Hope everyone who is going has a blast.
Comment by Lalo January 19, 2011 @ 7:31 pmI am from CO also! Definitely bummed they aren’t coming here and unfortunately I won’t be able to make it to any close shows. But I hope everyone that does get to go has an amazing time!
Comment by Amber January 19, 2011 @ 7:58 pmAgreed. Colorado gets skipped over by so many bands these days. I’m gonna be FURIOUS if A7x plays Save Me on this tour and never plays it again…
Comment by Drew January 19, 2011 @ 10:58 pmhey i was there, with the Rev Deathbat poster right in front of them. Ahhh i wish they’d come to Colorado again.
Comment by Anonymous January 19, 2011 @ 11:22 pmI saw that, I was in the front too.
Comment by Lalo January 23, 2011 @ 12:30 amSorry, I couldn’t help it :)
Comment by Tanner January 19, 2011 @ 7:34 pmI’m so bummed they aren’t coming to the west coast :( aww well i always have bootleg vids and i DID see them on uproar so i guess i shouldn’t be complaining :/
Comment by Jon January 19, 2011 @ 8:12 pmMost likely not going to be able to get to the show tomorrow because of the snow. Was totally willing to make the 4 hour drive from Long Island but idk about this storm. Hopefully theyll play this way soon.
But if anyone has an extra ticket for Saturday please let me know!

The song I’m dying to see or listen to live is Save Me. It’s beyond crazy with dueling guitars, and i think it’ll sound just as great as it does on the album. Agree?

I’m psyched to see the guys again. I saw them for the first time in Vegas on Zacky’s B-day. I had a great time even though I was by myself. Yet again, I’ll be going by myself to the show in Evansville, Indiana on the 30th. >.> But I also am curious about the new set list and stage production. I hope I get to see them soon after the Indiana show. It gets addicting going to see them Live. :)
Comment by a7xdeathbat69 January 20, 2011 @ 11:02 amI’ll be heading to Nebraska to see them, should be a cold, wild time.
