The Stage, Avenged Sevenfold, M & T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, Maryland; May 10th, 2017; WorldWired Tour, 1st night of the US Stadium Tour; Opening for Metallica
Because they don't overdo it with layering too many guitar tracks on top of each other or more guitar tracks than actual guitarists. And they hold back on using effects most of time. Like Example: Afterlife, Critical Acclaim, and Beast and the Harlot all begin with three guitars going simultaneously (Syn Lead, Zacky Lead, and Zacky Rhythm), but live it's Syn Lead+Zacky Rhythm so Syn has to self-harmonize with his Sustainiac neck pickup. Because of this, they have all the same sound live as in the studio for most of their songs. Some other bands (especially Metallica) have like 4 separate rhythm tracks going with usually two leads and they only have two guitars so you lose some sound in certain places where rhythm takes a break for the leads to fit.
how does he self harmonize with his sustainiac neck pickup. i thought they were playing one part of the harmony through a PA, or maybe he plays the harmonies as two note chords, idk.
didnt think they still had it. look up the concert at Long Beach in 2008 they were literally insane there. so glad they are still good live, Brooks is awesome btw!
ya theyve never disappointed me when i saw them. except for when they had korn open for them. not that they were bad, but korn blew them out of the water
@@tucastigadorinsaciable692 Exactly, and they aren't just "opening" for them, they have been very good friends ever since (i guess thats why they have been opening for them a lot throughout the years).
They are better than metallica Face me! Syn > kirk (technique and composing) Matt > James (voice) Brook/the rev/arin > lars (obviously) People prefer metallica just cuz they are an old band and it's so annoying honestly
@@staystrongjoseph Being better at playing your respective instrument does not mean being a better band, Metallica is obviously one of the most influential bands that are still out there today. You can find lots of better singers, guitarists etc. but that don't make them better than Avenged as well.
@@candasadkt5407 yes, influential, but doesn't make them better. I respect them a 100%, but i'm sick of people saying "oh avenged suck, go listen to real metal like metallica and slayer"
I'm going to see Metallica and A7X live in Atlanta. When I found out that A7X was going to be opening for them, I nearly fainted. I will get to see Metallica, my favorite band, and A7X, and amazing band as well, in the same concert. I am pumped.
Did anyone else hear Matt say "I recognize you!" At 2:44. My heart!! This is why I love Avenged. They love and care about there fans that they remember them!
If you don't like A7X You are getting way too old or just follow comments without researching. They are phenomenal and love their fans and as talented as anyone out there. Metallica would agree or they wouldn't be there. Avenged is really important to more of us that are die hard Metallica fans than you care to know. #foREVer
rva musiclover I don't like them because there new stuff isn't really my style, I've grown and gotten into other music. They are nice to people they like though. A few friends have met the band and they have all said they are a little too conceded and acted superior
Lol, check out their 2001-2004 shows, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet and Waking the Fallen era. After that, their 2006 and 2011-2013 shows - that's where the energy was. Shadows just doesn't look powerful these days anymore, and his stupid 'rap-like' movements on stage are back full force which is a shame. He looked badass with bald head and a sleeveless shirt exposing his guns. This is all IMHO of course.
Jacob Trull Brooks is a great fit. The Rev knew Brooks and was always fond of him as a drummer. He was overlooked because he was a soft rock drummer, but The Rev saw something in him.
Branflakes1522 Brooks is a fucking phenomenal drummer. Portnoy was okay, but damn. It still doesn't feel like the Rev, of course it never will, but it feels like Brooks, and damn if that isn't a great feeling!
Now it's the really A7X I have loved at first listening! This new drummer is also very good! It is good to see they giving their best at stage again, as only great bands and musicians are able to! The twin guitars surprised me positevely also!
Today is the day San Antonio. I have been waiting for four months for Avenged Sevenfold to come here, wont have a voice in the morning. 48 years old and still love heavy metal.
Im from argentina and i can tell if they come , everyone from the croud will be jumping, screaming, singing. I love A7X i dont think they deserve that crowd, they deserve something better
synyster gates, wishes on having a child & also its really difficult to stay away from family but you came to the tour that's great, once again congratulations
They sound great live. I went to the show in philly and unfortunately they didn't play that show so I missed the chance to see them. Hopefully I can see them again they are amazing
The crowd turn out has nothing to do with the band, I'm a die hard a7x fan but it's because it's a concert for Metallica, the fans are for the most part there for them, go to an a7x headliner show, they're crazy packed, I saw them in Toledo and it was crazy and sold out, awesome show
I was at this show purely for metallica, but I made sure to listen to a little A7X beforehand, and this song is like one of my favorites of all time now. They killed it and kept me entertained for their whole show. I'm not really sure about this crowd though, they were pretty dead for the whole night
people should have gone crazy. avenged has solidified its position in the music/ metal industry. those fans looked dead. i absolutely hate that at shows!!
TheTurtleCamelLeg no offence bro, but this doesn't make sense. Metallica has a lot more experience and is one of the biggest influences of avenged sevenfold. I absolutely love both the bands, but metallica will always be and should be a more senior band to sevenfold. Also. This was Metallica's tour, so they had to be the headliners. Just my opinion.
They seem to have a lot more energy this year than they have done since the Rev died. They looked so bored on stage during that time. I think it's related to Syn's hair, like it's an energy source or something as while he had the sides of his head shaved they had no energy but now that it's long again they all have energy...
This must have been before Matt damaged his vocal chords. He sounds studio quality here as usual. And all credit to him, because even with the damage, he went out there and gave it his best, knowing it was lackluster, compared to what he’s capable of. This song, to me, is perfect from start to finish. Lyrically, sonically, etc. It’s an audible painting.
My honest opinion & I'm supposed to be old school but if prefer any,any time to see a7x & metallica be opening for seven fold, I'm 48 but I am LIKE an 18yr old in EVERY way, not good all the time but I've been listening to the a7x crew since 2000 & waking the fallen WAS my time to know that I would be a true loyal fan & have been EVERY since,since the nightmare album just in 2011 I WENT to 9 shows all over & each one was better than the last total I've seen en 28 times since 2011 I cantCan't wait to see the stage show in Atlanta Georgia ?Can't 'fucking white I can't wait to see this new stage out live it is awesome thanks guys keep' fucking rock'n long live The rev!!
He sounded like he struggled on the album but he sounds great and so do the rest of them in the shows!!! wish I could have seen them at Lunatic Luau this year!!!
unfortunately i could not go to this show. It was on a wednesday, and I had final exams to prep for on campus. not to mention the ticket prices...omg...
Its a shame to see SO many people just recording the show the whole time, live IN the moment, enjoy the show instead of trying to record the entire time! One or two snaps are fine!
I saw A7X with a day to remember in July and I think that avenged was the perfect band to be playing with Metallica. They defended deserve more credit then they get though
That's why this is the band which performs live even better than studio
Because they don't overdo it with layering too many guitar tracks on top of each other or more guitar tracks than actual guitarists. And they hold back on using effects most of time.

Nishan Raisul karim thats right brother xD
how does he self harmonize with his sustainiac neck pickup. i thought they were playing one part of the harmony through a PA, or maybe he plays the harmonies as two note chords, idk.
Most likely the axe fx unit if he's still using it as it's called intelligent pitch shifting
oldGnRrocks1 on his guitar he has a switch that whatever note it played it is harmonised
Time seems to prove that This Band will Be a legend. each member of This Band has very great serious talent.
Daniel Wolfgang
Especially Johnny Christ. He is the leader of a7x after all.
TheRev is a legend, one of the best drummer ever existed..
+RealGamerManz Without Johnny Christ Avenged Sevenfold would be nothing. We all hail Johnny Christ
Gayana G think you miss spelled synister gates
+mrs shadows I didn't mention Syn at all, how could I spell his name wrong?
They sound amazing live.
didnt think they still had it. look up the concert at Long Beach in 2008 they were literally insane there. so glad they are still good live, Brooks is awesome btw!
Jason Hatherlee yeah they're pretty good throw a great show I was up front first time seeing em
ya theyve never disappointed me when i saw them.
except for when they had korn open for them. not that they were bad, but korn blew them out of the water
Sorry, I think they sound extremely boring live ...
Khaosrune when I saw korn open for them I fell asleep during korn... then a7x came on and I was pumped
Even though I've seen people say that they deserve better if you think about it...opening for Metallica IS HUGE! It is such a high honour.
It's late but, i think that they have been openers for Metallica since 2006
@@tucastigadorinsaciable692 Exactly, and they aren't just "opening" for them, they have been very good friends ever since (i guess thats why they have been opening for them a lot throughout the years).
They are better than metallica
Face me!
Syn > kirk (technique and composing)
Matt > James (voice)
Brook/the rev/arin > lars (obviously)
People prefer metallica just cuz they are an old band and it's so annoying honestly

ZixiGaming where an a7x shirt, not many will sadly :/
ZixiGaming Lucky ass man 😂
I have tickets for San Antonio. I saw Metallica in the 80's on The And Justice For All tour, they were good but A7X is who I want to see.
ZixiGaming And Volbeat. See you there
Same. ATL show. I bought tickets before I noticed who was opening. It's like buy one get one free.
Did anyone else hear Matt say "I recognize you!" At 2:44. My heart!! This is why I love Avenged. They love and care about there fans that they remember them!

rva musiclover I still don't undestand why this guys get too much hate?
rva musiclover exactly.... they get so many unnecessary hates... fucking dumbass people...
rva musiclover I don't like a7x because the singer's voice is ass
that was too honest and lacked sarcasm for a squash. they usually rain down.
rva musiclover I don't like them because there new stuff isn't really my style, I've grown and gotten into other music. They are nice to people they like though. A few friends have met the band and they have all said they are a little too conceded and acted superior
So glad they finally found a drummer worthy of filling the Rev's shoes.
look at the voice Matt like a record studio sound ohmygod a7x you are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Super same
Flawless performance!
M shadows these days, he more energetic than ever.
Lol, check out their 2001-2004 shows, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet and Waking the Fallen era. After that, their 2006 and 2011-2013 shows - that's where the energy was.

Now how he is on stage reminds me of a popstar, I miss the old days
Good ole Jess agreed
totally disagree. His voice was a shame at the time
@@Cristorei123 dude. His throat had blisters in it this whole tour, and you’re gonna hate on him?
brooks,the right choice for a7x
Iqbal Bale way better than the last dude, not as good as good of a fit as the Rev tho
Jacob Trull Brooks is a great fit. The Rev knew Brooks and was always fond of him as a drummer. He was overlooked because he was a soft rock drummer, but The Rev saw something in him.
Branflakes1522 Brooks is a fucking phenomenal drummer. Portnoy was okay, but damn. It still doesn't feel like the Rev, of course it never will, but it feels like Brooks, and damn if that isn't a great feeling!
Hyper Lurki Portnoy is a legend for sure, but in terms of fit, Brooks is the right choice.
Holy shit these guys sound good live
Nick V seen them live once (last September) they are honestly better live imo.
i like how humble they are playing with so much passion even if it's not the crowd and stage they're used to see
They're so talented ! And Syn is so damn powerful 🔥
the people don't even seem happy to be seeing a7x live....:((
Aidan Chavez Rubbish listeners.. ..
I was hyped, but 90% of the people were there for Metallica... I only saw like 5 a7x shirts
The Maniac Core under rated... But Unfortunate for Metallica,A7x performed much better than them
Hopefully A7X was still happy from the love they got in Hershey the night before, was a great crowd for them Tuesday night.
Yup thats is because they already in early 50's. You cant compare them dude.
I can't wait for Avenged Sevenfold to come to Texas
Have my tickets for San Antonio
guys, i need to know that our crowd wont be like this disappointment of a crowd, san antonio needs to be on the radar
You can count on my son and I to be loud as hell. He told me the other day he might cry when they come out, he is such a huge fan of A7X as am I.
Seth Bailey
I'll be in their concert in Houston this Sunday & I am so fucking pumped. let's get it A7x ! 🤘🏼🖤
Whos going to the A7X San Antonio show Wednesday?
am i the only one bothered by seeing them perform in bright light during the day? it kills me.
Same. I don't understand it either. I hope when they start playing when they come here it's gonna be dark already.
This is real music👌👌👌
They were AMAZING live
Now it's the really A7X I have loved at first listening! This new drummer is also very good! It is good to see they giving their best at stage again, as only great bands and musicians are able to! The twin guitars surprised me positevely also!
Today is the day San Antonio. I have been waiting for four months for Avenged Sevenfold to come here, wont have a voice in the morning. 48 years old and still love heavy metal.
My first heavy metal concert. I got to see Gojira, A7X, and Metallica all in one concert. The best experience i have ever had.
One of the best bands especially live
Im from argentina and i can tell if they come , everyone from the croud will be jumping, screaming, singing. I love A7X i dont think they deserve that crowd, they deserve something better
I'm seeing A7X and Metallica in Miami on my 18th birthday. Proabably the best birthday gift ever
they can play circles around Metallica they deserve more than being the opener...
Danny Majors no shit, they're way younger. Come on now.
@@fscorpion678 Age has nothing to do with it. David Gilmour has to be like 70 and he still kills it every time.
Jake D He hasn’t toured in two years. It’s foolish to think age has nothing to do with it.
Youre fucking high 4 years ago and today if you think anybody is playing circles around the down pick rhythm himself James Hetfield.
great quality thanks for sharing. good to see shadows still killin it on stage with his new technique
I kind feel like them choosing to tour with Metallica has honestly killed their live shows.
I was front row for this show and it was my birthday :) most amazing night ever
synyster gates, wishes on having a child & also its really difficult to stay away from family but you came to the tour that's great, once again congratulations
They sound great live. I went to the show in philly and unfortunately they didn't play that show so I missed the chance to see them. Hopefully I can see them again they are amazing
I'll be seeing them in Cincinnati July 10th, I'm so pumped. They're my absolute favorite band
Live are fantastic!! ❤❤❤❤❤ I love you guys, thanks for you music!
The crowd turn out has nothing to do with the band, I'm a die hard a7x fan but it's because it's a concert for Metallica, the fans are for the most part there for them, go to an a7x headliner show, they're crazy packed, I saw them in Toledo and it was crazy and sold out, awesome show
an incredible live singer. get down to it.....they all are just about perfect.
I was at this show purely for metallica, but I made sure to listen to a little A7X beforehand, and this song is like one of my favorites of all time now. They killed it and kept me entertained for their whole show. I'm not really sure about this crowd though, they were pretty dead for the whole night
Does no one else see how awesome that one camera guy is! Metal Gandalf
Brooks is perfect! Holy cow he's good
I was super bummed that they weren't headlining
Avenged is just amazing live!
they deserve more than what they have and more respect. their a great band.
Shitty crowd ..disappoint :( ..Toronto is waiting Shadows. See you soon
MasterOfPuppets I'll be there too can't wait
Well even your username is Metallica and not A7X. Metallica is more popular, these guys were just there for metallica so they don't care about A7X.
At least, give some respect for fellow Metal band. However, they are one of the greatest Underground band.
@@galiputraeffendi3768 A7X always has my love and respect as much as Metallica. It’s about the crowd that dont even seem to care what’s going on.
Nice to see Vinnie Paul was there, on the left, 4:48, appreciating them.
ViniciusMCF or a Chubby X Pac
And also Jordan Rudess, from Dream Theater, filming the show on 4:04
ViniciusMCF wow really I didn't know that!
Agustín Zaffaroni hahahhahaha
Amazing!
It was really great seeing all of you 😊😉! Excellent show! In Baltimore City! Can't wait to see A7X next year in January(?).
just like the song so perfect
"Who is the crowd..." ♫
people should have gone crazy. avenged has solidified its position in the music/ metal industry. those fans looked dead. i absolutely hate that at shows!!
Yeah you can really feel the energy in the stadium
Dunno how they did it, but this is even more epic than the studio version!
So ready for this show in Edmonton. My god Syn is a handsome man.
if they came to brazil, they would see what is madness ;}
They put on an amazing show
legends! ♥♥♥♥
Yes, beautiful.
Rock Jesus heaven yeah rock Jesus!
Why do i feel like Metallica should be the ones opening for Avenged Sevenfold? Metallica is a great band though. No hate intended.
Come on now...
TheTurtleCamelLeg I'm going to this concert in Detroit on July 12th, I am more excited to see A7X for the 6th time then Metallica for the 2nd time.
Because Metallica is the greatest metal band in the US. That's why. Although, I'm a fan of A7X, Metallica is just better.
CazMatazz Shut up.
TheTurtleCamelLeg no offence bro, but this doesn't make sense. Metallica has a lot more experience and is one of the biggest influences of avenged sevenfold. I absolutely love both the bands, but metallica will always be and should be a more senior band to sevenfold.
Also. This was Metallica's tour, so they had to be the headliners. Just my opinion.
All those people flooding the stands kicking themselves for missing such a killer song
4:11 Gandalf, is that you?
This would be the best package i could ever imagine! Much love from Germany! I fuckin freaked first row in Munich in February!
Corporal Deep Me too
A7x is my Band for my Life! Thx for uploaded:-) IS GREAT!
They seem to have a lot more energy this year than they have done since the Rev died. They looked so bored on stage during that time. I think it's related to Syn's hair, like it's an energy source or something as while he had the sides of his head shaved they had no energy but now that it's long again they all have energy...
just realised Syn was using his Custom S without his invader and sustainiac pickups...he was using his humbuckers.....
Daryl Teoh he's using his schecter custom shop ones he used to record most of the stage with
I'm so excited to see them August 9th in Seattle
Like a studio version !! Salute !
From malaysia
I love this 😍😍😍😍😍😍, forever avenger senvenfold
Great video thnk you
I want them to come to Australia sooooooooooo badly!!!
That fucking scream after the beautiful solo!!!!
It's very weird seeing avenged sevenfold have to play in the daylight and hype up a later band. They've headlined every show I've ever seen them at
I love at the end the guy yells "SIR! YOURE NOT ALLOWED TO RECORD!" lmao
my man gates still got them sexy solos
i hate to see how the band that used to be my favorite back when I was 16 years old is now slowly fading away.
Soul K slowly fading away?? you all right??
I see them as being a legend. They have. A lot of things that sound like Metallica I love ot
Mito Shadows, o cara é foda pra k7, aliás, a banda toda é foda...
I WAS SO GLAD I WAS THERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOOOOOM !!!!
A little tip to Syn's guitar tech . Put up the mids just a little bit so that he stands out between Zacky . Because he plays the solos right...
'so i arrived, behind a tree, my name is scarce, i wear red plaid'
shoko 😂😂😂
This must have been before Matt damaged his vocal chords. He sounds studio quality here as usual. And all credit to him, because even with the damage, he went out there and gave it his best, knowing it was lackluster, compared to what he’s capable of. This song, to me, is perfect from start to finish. Lyrically, sonically, etc. It’s an audible painting.
That is awsome Perfome A7X!! I like it!^_^
I really hope the crowd is better in Miami
My honest opinion & I'm supposed to be old school but if prefer any,any time to see a7x & metallica be opening for seven fold, I'm 48 but I am LIKE an 18yr old in EVERY way, not good all the time but I've been listening to the a7x crew since 2000 & waking the fallen WAS my time to know that I would be a true loyal fan & have been EVERY since,since the nightmare album just in 2011 I WENT to 9 shows all over & each one was better than the last total I've seen en 28 times since 2011 I cantCan't wait to see the stage show in Atlanta Georgia ?Can't 'fucking white I can't wait to see this new stage out live it is awesome thanks guys keep' fucking rock'n long live The rev!!
He sounded like he struggled on the album but he sounds great and so do the rest of them in the shows!!! wish I could have seen them at Lunatic Luau this year!!!
the lead me to metallica world... and teach me... thank you guys.. 2018
syn looks so cool
Awesome camera and camera work!
nice job A×7 and right on to Mr.Powers.
unfortunately i could not go to this show. It was on a wednesday, and I had final exams to prep for on campus. not to mention the ticket prices...omg...
THIS IS GOING TO FUCKING ROCK!!!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED! JULY 9TH BABY! OH YEAAAHHHH!!!!
Its a shame to see SO many people just recording the show the whole time, live IN the moment, enjoy the show instead of trying to record the entire time! One or two snaps are fine!
I heart ❤️ Zacky Vengeance!
The crowd was so much better in Phoenix. So many were singing along and it was loud!!
wowowo que gran conciero de j balvin fabuloso lo amo
I was there 🍻 so fn cool show
Really wish I got to see them in Philadelphia, but they didnt make the show.
Synyster is just, he just screams badass
all the old guys were prob saying "ah they got a local band to open"
I wish they would come to Kentucky
Would have been great to see this in Philly.... But i get it, family first.
I saw A7X with a day to remember in July and I think that avenged was the perfect band to be playing with Metallica. They defended deserve more credit then they get though
