Disco de Avenged Sevenfold: “Live In The LBC & Diamonds In The Rough”

This release simply shows what A7X is made of and how they throw it all to the fans in the concerts... in the cover of walk, M. shadows picks a fan from the crowd to sing the whole song... that was so cool, after wards they let him on stage for the rest of the show. The video quality is good and the sound kicks. This is A7X and how they give a good show. the bonus cd with b sides is really loud as well, cool covers and songs by them. Even the cover of Iron Maiden Flash of the blade A7X style, and let me tell you as a fan of IM, they really got it rocking there. If you are a fan and like city and self titled don't hesitate, this'll blow you away. For some back in the day fans they play second heartbeat and unholy confessions on the dvd. Really worth the buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DVD is amazing! These guys put on a great show with awesome lighting and pyrotechnics. Just watch it, you'll love it, trust me!

CD is a lot better than expected as well. How some of these songs weren't considered worthy enough for their other cd's suprises me. All have that distict A7X sound with some great guitar solos as always. The only two I can skip through are the two remakes, "Walk" by Pantera and "Flash of the Blade" by Iron Maiden. "Walk" is a great song, just too overplayed by all bands. A7X does do a great job on it though. "Flash of the Blade" just sounds a little corny for them to be doing, lyrics talking about swords and dragons............

All in all, an absolutely great purchase. I would have paid twice this amount for the DVD alone. Buy it!

This DVD, which was taken from a headlining show during the 2008 Taste of Chaos tour, shows Avenged Sevenfold at their peak. They've truly hit their stride as musicians and performers with this DVD. All the songs sound great. M. Shadows voice held up remarkably well. The only downside is that you will want to hear more songs. Songs like "Chapter Four" and "I Won't See You Tonight", which sound amazing live, are not on this DVD. I would've liked to have seen "Beast & the Harlot" removed and have one of the other songs mentioned beforehand replace it.

As far as the "Diamonds in the Rough" CD is concerned, don't think that it's an amateur attempt to boost DVD sales by throwing in a couple of songs that didn't make any other "official" A7X release. Any of these songs could have easily been on their last self titled album. For me, the high points on the album were tracks 5 and 6: "Until the End" and "Tension." It's a good album overall and combined with the DVD makes it worth the buy for old and new fans alike.

This is a must have for any A7X fan... hey, it's on their home turf and they're giving 110% for this crowd, wish I were there... audio and video quality are excellent... so just get it !

Dont look at this like a simple b-sides release. It's that and so much more. Most of these songs could have easily been released with City of Evil of the ST album. And the DVD is great. Ive never seen them live, but they obviously sound just as good live as they do on the disk. Great songs on the disk. Great DVD. Just get it.
