Avenged Sevenfold ends tour with a bang

Orange County hard rockers Avenged Sevenfold ended their 18-month long tour Thursday with a bang.

As the smoke began to billow from under the curtain that was concealing the stage the crowd began to go wild. Soon thereafter the curtain pulled back as flames erupted from the stage, and Avenged pounded out "Critical Acclaim", off their most recent self titled album which when released in 2007, debuted at #4 on the billboard top 200.

The band continued to pound out songs mostly from their recent album, intermixed with favorites off their 2005 release “City of Evil”, and their 2003 "Walking the Fallen."

Flames and concussion effects pounded the audience throughout the night , keeping everyone on their feet. The highlight of the night was when Guns N’ Roses top-hat wielding axe man Slash joined A7X for an hard rocking rendition of the GnR hit "It’s so Easy."

A7X will not waste much time after the tour, and will get in the studio soon to begin working on their next album.
