Read what critics have been saying about Avenged Sevenfold live!

“Their set was easily one of the most impressive performances I’ve seen in a very long time.” — Seattle Post Intelligencer

“The band sounded tighter and more focused than ever.” — Arizona Republic

“Aside from the energy present in singer Shadow’s delivery, the guitar work of Avenged is top notch. Both Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates do some mind-bending solos, but more impressively they perfectly harmonize many of the complicated leads.” — OC Weekly
