Avenged Sevenfold wins big at Golden Gods

The Orange County Register have put an article regarding Avenged Sevenfold's multiple wins during the Revolver Golden Gods Awards 2011 last Wednesday:

It was a huge night for Huntington Beach metal band Avenged Sevenfold Wednesday night at Club Nokia, as the quintet took home four of the five awards it was nominated for at the 3rd annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards ceremony in Los Angeles.

The band’s first chart-topping release, Nightmare, snagged best album. Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance shared the trophy for best guitarist, while Mike Portnoy, a temporary replacement for the late James “The Rev” Sullivan, won best drummer.

M. Shadows was named best vocalist, beating out two of the genre’s legends, Ozzy Osbourne and Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. The tattooed frontman, obviously stunned he won, uttered a quick “(bleep) yeah!” before quickly thanking the audience. (Best live band, however, went to Berlin heavy rockers Rammstein, who play the Forum on May 20.)

On top of collecting the most awards during the evening, A7X closed out the show with a six-song set that blasted the roof off the L.A. Live venue. The performance was introduced by Lars Ulrich and Robert Trujillo, members of one of A7X’s biggest influences, Metallica.

Opening with its recent title track, Avenged had the audience roaring. This was definitely an A7X crowd – if you couldn’t tell by the high number of people sporting the band’s swag, most of the audience singing their faces off during the performance was another dead giveaway.

Fan favorites “Almost Easy,” “Beast and the Harlot” and “Bat Country” also went over well. A7X brought out fellow Golden Gods performer Duff McKagan, of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver and his new group Loaded, for a cover of GNR’s “It’s So Easy.” Pantera’s Vinnie Paul gave new A7X drummer Arin Ilejay a quick break, joining in for a cover of “Mouth for War.”
