“It doesn’t wanna make us get out of bed”: Avenged Sevenfold won’t tour celebrating classic albums, says M. Shadows

If you were hoping for a City Of Evil 20th anniversary tour to happen next year, we have some bad news…

Avenged Sevenfold aren’t going to be celebrating old albums on upcoming tours, their singer says.

Everyone from Lamb Of God and Mastodon to Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine are playing their classic records on the road right now, but M. Shadows rules out his band doing the same. In an interview with Rock Feed, he expresses zero interest in commemorating yesteryear’s material on tour – a blow to anyone pining for a City Of Evil 20th anniversary run next year.

“We’re just not a band that wants to go take an old record on tour right now,” Shadows says (via Metal Injection). “It doesn’t interest us, it doesn’t excite us, but one night does. And it really isn’t shots fired, ’cause everyone’s doing those tours. Just for us, personally, it doesn’t wanna make us get out of bed and go do that. But one night seems really fun to us.”
