douches. just play the fucking show THATS WHAT JIMMY WOULD HAVE WANTED amiright

this one and the other a7x news should not both exist.

that they are now unwilling to play unless it is night time. At the same time, they are refusing to play at the same time as Maiden.

Get Converge to play instead.

"While Avenged are a massive band, having sold around 8,000 copies of their new album Nationally"

They've only sold 8,000 copies?

ugh gimmicky fucks

This news makes me happy

"While Avenged are a massive band, having sold around 8,000 copies of their new album Nationally"

BURRRRNNNNNNNNNNN

Thats a back handed insult if I've ever seen one..

ITS YOUR FUCKING NIGHTMARE Australia.

Oh wait 8,000 copies in Down Under, makes sense now.

what a bunch of fake bitches...

who the hell do they think they are?!

is 8k units sold alot in Australia?

mike portnoy has mysteriously died of drug overdose

yeah aussies are cheap fuckers and nobody actually lives there

They're probably just mad that Jupiter's spot is upside down from Australia.

wow bunch of fucking douchers

"Avenged have decided, despite having originally confirmed a mid afternoon spot, that they are now unwilling to play unless it is night time. At the same time, they are refusing to play at the same time as Maiden. Which leads me to believe they want Maiden's time moved!"

OK That's incredibly shitty of them and I'm a huge fan of the band.

Hope they don't bother with replacements and just give Melvins and High on Fire longer sets.

Whiny bitches, just play the damn show and alter the lyrics to "IT'S YOUR FUCKEN DAYMAAAAYYYYEERRRRRRRR"

hahaha piggy

Nah get Dillinger. They'll destroy the set and trash any chance any shit bands had of playing. [2]

oh dear

That is the Australian way of saying; "We didn't want your shitty band anyway"

I actually kinda wish they would shuffle the lineup around; it's a bitch having Protest the Hero, Kylesa and Maiden on all at the same time. But ah well. As for Sevenfold-I never really wanted to see them anyway.

"That is the Australian way of saying; "We didn't want your shitty band anyway"

bahaha so true. Yeah these guy's just come across as a bunch of wankers. Plently more amazing bands playing the gig anyway.

Social Distortion, Gaslight anthem, Gang of Four anyone?

Lol this band.

Reading AJ's twitter around timetable time is always hilarious.

I reckon this band thinks it gets dark at 6pm during summer in Australia. Hell, it will still be light when Maiden begin.

Wow. They just make it harder and harder for me to defend them. Jimmy seemed to be the only one that didn't let success go to his head. He would have wanted to play the show for the fans. Avenged Sevenfold needs to stop acting like they're God's and act like people.

They started off playing in people's basements and garage's too.

Haha, fuck this band. I wasn't even gonna check them out anyway, we might get lucky with a half decent band for replacement. A half decent band not full of wankers.

Drama

It's going to be as hot as hell at night anyway

Wow, not only does M Shadows sing like Axle Rose now, but he is also doing the diva bitch thing like him too

whiny little prissy kids, "waaaaaaaahhhhhh we cant play when we want so we wont go"

better off anyways, the band is terrible

@newjunk

I actually agree with you.

Right when Jimmy died it was RIP A7X. The band's future is looking dim. Waking The Fallen will always be one of my favourite albums.

These guys are total douche bags.

you guys are all stupid

their set wouldn't fit at all in the daytime. it's all night themed. they weren't trying to one up maiden. read into it before your bias kicks in, Jesus Christ

yeah, sputnik is biased, not the dude who's riding this shitty band's collective dick in all of their news articles.

yeah you are biased. and you reply to all of my comments that I put in these news articles.


u...umad..?

i am everywhere.

if satellite is state farm THEN WHO WAS PHONE

if slayer can play early, why the fuck can't these fags?

"I am going to ask Thrice if they're available to join SW2011." from AJ's twitter.

holy shit yes if that actually happens.

I really like A7X, but seriously, nobody messes with Maiden.

Haha

""I am going to ask Thrice if they're available to join SW2011." from AJ's twitter."

I don't think it'll happen, especially since they would be up against Maiden. I reckon they should just give the previous bands longer sets.

Wow. I can sort of understand not wanting to play in daylight given Nightmare's theme, but asking Iron Maiden to move their time slot to suit themselves?

they never asked maiden to move slots, they asked for a night slot.

"Whiny bitches, just play the damn show and alter the lyrics to "IT'S YOUR FUCKEN DAYMAAAAYYYYEERRRRRRRR" "

I fucking lol'd haha

judging from their profile pic i'd say they hate the sun.

But still douchey enough to wear sunglasses in the dark :3

Bitch move.

Last album sucked, right now they're just riding on Rev's death.

Wow, somebody actually told them that they were bigger than Maiden... somehow they didn't get the joke.

they just released a statement about all this haha

They're just trying to create a concert experience, lay off guys they're coming back to Australia next year to play their own way.

http://www.facebook.com/notes/avenged-sevenfold/message-from-a7x/471234336985

So basically they're saying that they're scared of being upstaged by Portnoy and want someone less known so that they can still all bask in their collective mediocrity with someone who will jump on the bandwagon of gay as aids alter egos.

Cool band.

i understand completely where they're coming from.

everyone, especially dream theater fans, thought of them as "mike portnoy and a7x"

he didn't fit anyways. he's old and they're like mid 20s.

It's not about your level of talent, it's what you do with it.

it's obvious why they cancelled.

andcas, you and i both saw them on uproar and can you honestly say that their set would've been near as great had it been daytime..? no. it would've taken away the effect of the show.

Because they couldn't have their way? Or is there something I'm missing. They had a night slot, unfortunately for them it gets dark at around 8 in Australia in summer.

You don't hear Third Eye Blind bitching.

But they have a night set? It just so happens that it's at the same time as Iron Maiden.

Lamb of God played the same time as Nine Inch Nails in 09 with no complaints. They're just putting AJ in a catch 22 position.

"It's your fucking daymaaaaare."

Problem sovled.

i don't get how this is such a dick move tbh

Promoter has asked THRICE to be the replacement!!!

thrice = ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz

Just don't ever fuck with Maiden's set. No one will watch you

it's just a simple rule that should be followed

Thrice apparently looking good as replacements. Should know by mid-week.

I like how open this guy is about who he wants to book.

Agreed. It gets him into trouble sometimes, but he is damn honest.

Thrice >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sevenfold

If you agree to something, you should honor that agreement. If A7X really did agree on the time they're in the wrong, regardless of whether or not they think their set will be ideal. They should've thought about those kinds of things before booking the show. Its an integrity thing, and I'm not surprised these guys have don't much of it.

i hardly have any more respect for this band than i do for justin beiber or lil wayne same goes for the people who actually support this band.
they are just that awful, its like they believe theyre like the darkest fucking band of this generation and so they refuse to play in the daytime

Damn if thrice confirm that will be amazing.

"Just don't ever fuck with Maiden's set. No one will watch you"

Well Gaslight Anthem are playing at the same time...

Yep, a closing duo of Thrice & Gaslight Anthem sounds mighty fine by me.

a7x troll'd soundwave pretty bad

"Yep, a closing duo of Thrice & Gaslight Anthem sounds mighty fine by me."

Not for me! I wouldn't even know who to pick!!

They won't be up against each other. A7X were on 2nd last, so Thrice would take that spot.

Unless you're talking about deciding on Maiden against these 2.

If Thrice get confirmed, hopefully they have a sideshow with good bands.

you can think their construction of music sucks but you can't deny they are talented musicians.

Loveisamixtape is the ill Sevenfold fanboy.

"Unless you're talking about deciding on Maiden against these 2."

Yeah I was man haha.

good news i'd say

that i am

but portnoy doing this is hilarious

I can't think of one single metalcore band other than A7X that use stage names. That and wearing sunglasses at night WHILE playing a show is easily enough to warrant a removal from the SW lineup.

I'm really glad they're off the line up
