Brooks killed it, Jimmy would be proud 🤩

[@paindrop7316]

OMG never expected that they would play this song live in current tours, this is amazing. I hope they play more of their old song when they come to my country

[@Marta1Buck]

Not in a million years, very surprising

[@mastod0n1]

I don't think they even played it regularly during the tour directly after City of Evil came out. It's a very rare occurrence.

[@uncagedzebra6941]

Saw them live in Buffalo and I think that was the first time they played during the tour and it was amazing. As soon as I started hearing those drums I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

[@SkylineBNR34]

I'm seeing them in 12 days. I can't wait!!! wish I could have went to Carolina Rebellion when they headlined in 2014.

[@cedarsondrums]

Matt absolutely killed this, im sure managing to nail vocals from COE era is extremely difficult after what his voice has gone through, but all things considered he did amazing

[@demoneasura]

His voice really cracking

[@TryAgainDeathMen]

@@demoneasurahe has to sing it differently for sure but i think he sounds good here still with his signature grit

[@demoneasura]

[@zacharybuckley7378]

@@demoneasura💀 idk why you’re laughing he sounds great and you’re definitely a bum compared to Shadows 🤣

[@zacharybuckley7378]

His new vocal technique is definitely helping to not hurt his voice

[@GainsNY]

They sound incredible! Blinded in Chains is the first A7X song I ever heard back in 2006 playing Need For Speed Most Wanted. So excited to see them perform it live in Newark on the 31st!!!!

[@andreimatheus5282]

Me too! My first Avenged song.

[@Shazan-MnL]

Same song ive first heard too😅

[@pearpiece97]

Same! That game and the Underground's kick started my music taste! Hand of Blood by BFMV, Decedant by Disturbed, Static-X etc... so good.

[@StandUpTent]

Me too.. NFSMW.. i love this song..

[@legicide7038]

That was the first time I ever heard them too back when the game came out! I'm seeing them for my first time with a friend from high school next thursday night!

[@Matt-389]

Their setlist for this leg is amazing

[@swatkp]

Thank you Fred for everything

[@vaultboy2254]

They killed this man I wish they would play more of there less known old songs live

[@widexawake_]

Blinded in Chains is a fan favourite track. Where did you get the idea it was a "less known" track? 😂

[@synadam7720]

@@widexawake_ yea i couldn't agree more with you, its a fan favourite for the og's fan haha

[@woofspider330]

I prefer Burn It Down just because I like the drum solo much more lol!

[@ParsimoniousPersimmons]

Blinded in Chains is a good classic A7X track for them to play live but I'd really like to see them play Strength of the World and Crossroads live 👀

[@theguyof360]

​@@woofspider330They need to play Strength of the World, that's a fan favorite and a true classic, as well as MIA, but hey if I get to see Save Me and Blinded in Chains live then I'm all for it 😂

[@michael.p18]

Blinded in chains is sounding better every show

[@faizdrumchannel]

tq so much Brooks Wackerman...perfect time after 9 years with A7X..you brings back energy & awesome classic A7X's songs...Save Me..Eternal Rest..2nd heartbeat and now BLINDED IN CHAINS 🔥

[@flyboyswimmer13]

It’s amazing how quick they lock back into that sound. Sounds like the day they recorded it 😍

[@queso_king]

YES this is the kind of treat I love too see them play at their shows. Sounds like 2005 so good

[@Big_Sierra]

This song still sounds so fresh and spicy even after all these years. I love it so much. Always one of my favorites.

[@JustinWillhoit]

It stands up even after all these years. It’s such a banger

[@tylermassey23]

I don't think we realize how truly incredible a gift this was from A7X. This song is difficult to play live, especially vocals, and THEY KILLED IT!!! I've watched it 5 times now. Gives me chills. Thanks for posting this! And thanks, Avenged, for playing this live all these years later!

[@kodayybluesss4142]

miss the rev beats in this song 🥺 foREVer❤️

[@pedrosousa41]

yeaaa! everyone saying brooks killed it, he did!! altough The knife master would Gunshot us (w drums ofc D:) till we cant understand how good he is

[@samvargas3825]

I am so thankful this got recorded I thought I’d never get to relive this

[@suhkawnit]

So many good memories of this song from NFS Most Wanted

[@thegunganaficionado]

I love how much they love and respect Brooks and how excited they all were to hear the breakdown

[@nickcameronn]

❤This was amazing,,,and maybe someday they can play sidewinder with papa gates

[@HamadanAhnaf]

Hopefully

[@jedvalenciaa]

i would spend so much money just to see sidewinder played live

[@JustinWillhoit]

I never thought I’d see them play this. Holy shit they’re fantastic

[@wpozuelos]

The breakdown and bridge into 7:10 was dope af! I didn’t think they would play the close out of the song.

[@aylabillick]

When I saw them last week I couldn’t believe they not only played the song but the outro! I’m still shook! ♥️

[@FloriDadFishing]

My favorite band ever...the best ❤

[@kwakba]

Shout out to Fred, I still remember some of the extras from the self-titled that showed how involved he was with the studio. One of my favorite bits is when Matt records a joke vocal for Critical Acclaim and the band try to show it to him in seriousness to fuck with him 😂

[@WTFisHappeningToMe]

Do you think you can find a link? I want to see the joke vocal.

[@kwakba]

@@WTFisHappeningToMekzbin.info/www/bejne/d2O6o4eaiMaVeZYsi=3kKTWRooAlw5BzOD&t=237 everything leading up to it is so hilarious as well

[@redonred0924]

The first song I ever heard by these guys when I was 14 in the fall of 2005. It freaked me OUT! But I couldn't help but love it, and because of this song, these guys became my favorite band, and nearly twenty years later still have yet to be dethroned.

[@SirBilliam96]

This is WILD! I was literally looking for a recent live performance of this song on KZbin last week after re-listening to City of Evil from start to finish, and now they pull it out again! Thank you SO MUCH for recording this! They killed it 🤘🤘

I went to see them live in Columbus, Ohio last year, after that, I haven’t really been watching anymore content of their tour, but as soon as that thumbnail popped on my home menu and read “Blinded in chains”, I didn’t think twice and played it 🔥

[@danielamenta5845]

I love A7X, have since 2012. Ive seen them live twice, not recebtly. I just have to ask, what happened to M.s stage presence? He never used to crouch down and hold his head like that.

[@YogiGameXvideo]

He suffered from a vocal cord infection in 2018, and he could barely sing so he had surgery and then he had to hold his ear to feel the vibrations for safety.
