It was my first time seeing them both live so I didn’t know what to expect.ĭid I mention that Asking Alexandria opened up? I attended the Five Finger Death Punch and Avenged Sevenfold Sidewave on Tuesday, 25 February at the Big Top in Luna Park. So here I am, three days after the event, back to this post. Then I spent Thursday morning writing up the Richie Sambora post and after posting that, I was off to work and then after work I was off to see Mrs Browns Boys at WIN Entertainment Centre. I wrote this post on Wednesday morning, however I didn’t post it as I was in a rush to get to work and then once work was over I had to rush over to the Richie Sambora show.

Sunday’s selections will be based around the theme of “Pops Goes Wild,” with music from “Jurassic Park,” the 1930s version of “King Kong” and possibly the greatest Disney movie of all time, “The Lion King.” Pops will also perform several classical pieces, like “The Carnival of the Animals” by Camille Saint-Saens. “The orchestra has been working tirelessly, and they’re very, very eager to perform the music for an audience,” Sutton said in a phone interview. This year’s new music director, Alex Sutton, who worked with the orchestra previously as a choral director and an assistant conductor, veritably gushes with enthusiasm about this year’s performance. Michigan Pops is made entirely of students (graduate and undergraduate). This Sunday, the oldest popular music campus orchestra in the country will unleash its inner beast.
The band just attempts to synthesize too many elements in Avenged Sevenfold, producing an inconsistent mess of drawn-out guitar solos and Now That’s What I Call Music. The most disturbing moment comes when Shadows combines the morbid with the romantic, resulting in the necrophilic “A Little Piece of Heaven.” On the track, Shadows celebrates a now “perfect” sex life with a former flame he will preserve with a “heater for her thighs.” Shadow’s morbid lyrics vary from self-righteous (“Critical Acclaim”) to religious (“Brompton Cocktail”) and even predatory (“Scream”). Even the few unexpected musical additions that don’t immediately come off as a novelty are inevitably buried beneath tapping guitars or the tortured howling of vocalist M. The heavy-metal, double-bass drumming is uninspired, and the addition of miserable-sounding, tired modern rock doesn’t help. The SoCal outfit transitions through country, pop-punk and chugging show tunes with the aid of a choir and orchestra.īut the list of genres can’t save the weak base of Avenged Sevenfold’s sound. The band’s fourth disc is more like a random selection of musical trends absorbed into the band’s Guitar Hero-approved blend of modern rock and ’80s metal than a cohesive album. Avenged Sevenfold is a product of its time.
