Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country Live at Welcome To Rockville 2023 4K

[@RifqiMainGitar]

I always love seeing Syn and Zacky performing the solo on this song. The fact that one of them plays left-handed guitar just adds a visual aesthetic point on top of it.

[@zalcreed71]

@TryAgainDeathMennah Zacky and The Rev, M Shadow are from the same school, after looking for lead guitarist, The Rev called his old friend named Brian, which is Synyster Gates to join the band

[@felipe_sousa97]

Matt is souding better than I thought, what a relief 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@penk619]

yeah I think Matt's voice in his prime now, but with different level 🔥

Idk why a lot of people dont like brooks, he's a badass.

[@tristanchristlieb3462]

Gates and Zacky are so tight when they do the dueling solos. Perfection as always

[@scubadoc9730]

No doubt in my mind that they spend HOURS of practicing together to be that in sync. And heck, even this much tightness might not be possible without being so close in real life, knowing one another so well.

[@Azzzzzyyyyy]

Welcome back, AVENGED SEVENFOLD!

[@cyaniderhian8174]

Poor Matt. I was at Rockville in the front against the barrier. The band sounded great, but poor Matt. He couldn't hear himself in his in ears. He kept motioning to the monitor guy the entire set to fix it and he kept fiddling with his in ears to try and hear himself, but no matter what, he couldn't hear himself at all. Went on for the entire set. For those of you who might be like "Oh I can't hear it in Matt's voice. It sounds fine to me." It's not something you can hear. If you didn't grow up in the music industry, be it from a musician parent/family member or a crew member family member/parent, you won't really know what it looks like. What I explained above it what it looks like to not be able to hear yourself while onstage. Someone who knows what that looks like can point it out immediately. Those who don't, well they won't know that's what it is. Again, band sounded amazing, just kinda feel bad for Matt.

[@randleadventures1912]

Man that is stressful if you can’t hear yourself. Worst feeling

matt look he got a prob with the ear monitor..

[@karterestill]

I'm wondering if they are older molds and hasn't gotten new ones yet. Your ears continue to grow and you generally have to get new IEM molds every 2-3 years. No matter how good your seal is, your ear canal flexs open when opening your mouth wide. So what he's doing is pushing the IEM back in essentially to recreate the seal. I have to do it sometimes too. It's just how it works.

[@warwickaudio]

He does this a lot live where he pushes the monitor into his ear while singing. It’s like it helps him hit notes lol

[@dabstradamus]

@@warwickaudio def. pretty sure its so he can block out other shit and hear himself better

[@hafizjumat]

matt stated about his ear monitor on twitter "with my new technique im making sure the cord is fully "anchored" & i dont injur myself thru the bridge of my voice. With my hand there i can "feel" the vibration. I'll move it away as i get settled & comfortable. Nothing wrong,just being safe. ❤️"
