AVENGED SEVENFOLD Headed To Middle East

November 19, 2010

According to The Pulse of Radio, AVENGED SEVENFOLD will head to the Middle East for the first time, sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas, to play for U.S. troops on bases in Kuwait and Iraq. While singer M. Shadows admits he's nervous about making the trip, he also told The Pulse of Radio why he's excited to go. "I want to go work out with the troops," he said. "I want to see what they do every day. I want to shoot some guns and I want to throw some grenades (laughs). I just want to see what they do every day. And then I think it will be nice to be able to play, you know, some sets for them on their base and get 'em back into some of the things they would do if they were at home."

AVENGED SEVENFOLD is currently wrapping up a European tour before coming home for Thanksgiving.

The band will begin a new trek with STONE SOUR and HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD, called "The Nightmare Before Christmas", on January 20 in Reading, Pennsylvania.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD continues to tour behind its fifth album, "Nightmare", which came out this past July.

Pentagon Channel's MC2 Andrew Krauss conducted an interview with M. Shadows when AVENGED SEVENFOLD played the Jiffy Lube Live in Washington, D.C. on August 31, 2010 as part of the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar tour. You can now watch the chat below.
