If you only see one concert this year: Avenged Sevenfold, hands-down. There's no band out there that can even compete with them. They are the musical punch-to-the-face that metal fans have been begging for.
Check out the Avenged Sevenfold, Seether and Alter Bridge concert photos in the Examiner.com slideshow.
Taking a momentary break from their current tour schedule, Avenged Sevenfold rolled into Atlanta to headline as well, a one-off show with support from two of the hardest rocking bands on this summer's tour circuit, Seether and Alter Bridge. The explosive, power-packed performances of all three of these bands made it a concert lover's dream come true. Alter Bridge, Seether and Avenged Sevenfold on one stage; an absolutely epic concert experience.
I know--I'm late. Slayer Day was June 6th. Here's my video playlist for Slayer Day.
Interviews with Kerry King live backstage and with Dave Lombardo. Live interview with Anthrax as well; bands who have talked about Slayer during our interview or who have cited Slayer as a musical influence: Johnny Plague from Winds of Plague, Angry Phill from Madlife, Roger Miret of the Disasters and Agnostic Front.

M. Shadows' picture is gracing this post as well and I've also added the concert review video for Avenged Sevenfold--because they fucking rock--and because the first time I ever saw them live, when I reviewed Uproar Festival 2010, Shadows was wearing his SLAYER T-SHIRT!As soon as I recovered from the shock of his stage entrance <-- editorial review here as well, of Seether and Alter Bridge), I noticed his shirt. This photo still makes me smile whenever I see it.
Have to re-upload the Welcome to Rockville videos and the Madlife interview also--apparently the new Windows 7 movie maker bumps uglies with Youtube's video processor--and not in a good way. When I've finished that I'll definitely be putting together the 2010 A7X Uproar video as well as the Anthrax and Slayer videos.
I hate shooting when I review a concert, prefer to headbang and take notes--Seriously! I even headbang when I'm supposed to be shooting! but when I do shoot it bothers me to have all of those photos left over knowing fans would love to see them. So more videos up-coming, as well as the Slayer 30 year celebration video.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD - So Far Away Now this made me cry. With my brother's birthday quickly approaching I "feel" this all too well. Some comfort in knowing I'm not alone entirely in my feelings towards the arbitrary vagaries of death.
