Restrictions Placed On Free AVENGED SEVENFOLD Show By City Officials

October 15, 2007

The Pulse of Radio reports: AVENGED SEVENFOLD's free concert at the Key Club in Hollywood, scheduled for next Saturday (October 20),has been changed from a "first come, first serve" event to a ticketed show. Although tickets still cost nothing, a limit has been placed on the number of people who can attend by Los Angeles city officials, who were wary of potentially having thousands of fans turn out for the show. In order to attend, fans were now being asked to send an email to a Warner Bros. Records e-mail address before noon on Monday (October 15). Winners will be picked through a lottery and notified on Thursday (October 18) if they're going to the show.

Guitarist Synyster Gates told The Pulse of Radio that the band sometimes forgets how big it's become. "The cool thing about this band is when we actually do go home, the whole AVENGED SEVENFOLD atmosphere and how big we have gotten doesn't affect us when we're at home," he said. "We're just five really good friends that just hang out together and see our parents and write at our parents' houses and stuff like that. You know, it just is what it is, nothing that much has changed. And then when you come and do stuff like this, then you kind of see where things have changed."

Entrants who get shut out of the Key Club show will get instructions on how to attend the band's October 30 performance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!".

Fans must come to the Key Club show dressed in a Halloween costume in order to get in. The show will be taped and webcast on MySpace later in the month.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD's new, self-titled disc will arrive on October 30 as both a standard CD and an interactive MVI disc. In addition to numerous bonus features, the MVI will come with a vinyl seven-inch single containing a cover of PANTERA's "Walk".

AVENGED SEVENFOLD will begin a U.S. tour on October 29 in Los Angeles.

Melissa Smith of Prime Video Magazine recently conducted an interview with M. Shadows and Synyster Gates of AVENGED SEVENFOLD about the group's new self-titled album. Watch the four-minute clip below.
