AVENGED SEVENFOLD To Team Up With COHEED AND CAMBRIA For U.S. Tour

February 13, 2006

AVENGED SEVENFOLD and COHEED AND CAMBRIA will be teaming up for a 31-date U.S. co-headlining tour beginning in early April, according to MTV.com.

"We're the same kind of band," AVENGED guitarist Synyster Gates told MTV.com in regards to the pairing. "You either love us or hate us, so we definitely have that in common. And we believe there will be a crossover there between both our fans. It's not the same genre of music, but the same kids listen to us and them. You know, anything can completely flop and some things can work out perfectly. We're big fans of their music, and I think, from what we hear, they're into us. So, it just felt right. We'll have to see what happens."

On the subject of AVENGED's previously announced first DVD, Gates said, "We're coming up with concepts right now, and just trying to figure out if we want to be a band with a DVD or not. We're talking to different people, but we're just thinking about what we want to do for it, if we want to do one. Hopefully, that will be available to everybody shortly, which would be out of control. We want it to be more us just hanging out as opposed to live footage. It should be pretty f---ing exciting."

On the rumors that have been swirling about AVENGED SEVENFOLD's possible inclusion on this summer's Ozzy-free Ozzfest, Gates said though there is an offer on the table, nothing is confirmed. In fact, the band might be spending this summer touring abroad.

"We're keeping our options open," he said. "We don't know what we want to do. We've hit the U.S. so hard it might not make sense [to do Ozzfest]. We haven't gone to Japan yet. We just have to start going over the whole world. There are a lot of summer festivals in Japan that we certainly don't want to miss."
