Live Photos + Review: Avenged Sevenfold in Treviso, Italy

Before summer date for Avenged Sevenfold to Palaverde Treviso (Villorba, to be precise), the only one in Northern Italy (the other will in fact be in Rome in a couple of weeks), and the main news is only one: the minimum differences with the show in Milan last fall, a lineup that has brought only marginal changes in its length of just over 70 minutes.

They are a wonderful band to see: loads and always smiling (excluding Synyster Gates are always on Scazzi), look very tamarro, you shoot the poses, and know how to play iron gates in the background makes the scene very evocative. Not apparent but the new drummer Arin Ilejay on which, despite being faced with undeniable talent, weighs mere shadow of the late vocalist The Rev. is talking about the setlist: half is devoted to the latest album Nightmare, in its brevity , was forced to cut popular songs such as, random name, Beast and the Harlot. Questionable choice, and not just because the media is going to tour Europe for the second time.

The result is what it is: large, even if it was reasonable to expect a bit 'more people, and composed mostly of boys, one step away from their summer holidays, ready to see their idols. All with the merits and defects of the case. From their unconditional loyalty towards a Californian band, which leads them to encourage them through the show and call in vain on the stage already an hour and a half before the start of the dances: on that point of view, have the best fans Avenged Sevenfold you may have, and the same Matt Shadows has repeatedly highlighted in the evening. Do not be forgiven, however, the YouTube Generation, an egregious sin: the circle pit at the end of the show, the riffs Crossroads, reduced to a bunch of people that went to the concert was not even the punk band of cronies at the oratory in a tragicomic scenario, perhaps, remains the only blemish a short but intense concert.
