CBS Philly ha postato una recensione relativa all’esibizione dei nostri ragazzi all’Orion festival elogiandoli per avere avuto un gran numero di fan presenti, il più numeroso dopo i fan dei Metallica e pare che anche Rolling Stone, che a sua volta ha postato una propria recensione (in cui dei Sevenfold parla molto poco), sia della stessa opinione.
Queste le parti salienti della recensione di CSB Philly:

Avenged Sevenfold was one of the last bands to play before Metallica, and they might have gotten the largest crowd of the festival, next to the headliners themselves. There were more Avenged Sevenfold shirts in the crowd throughout the weekend than any other non-headliners. After they were introduced by Lars Ulrich (saying “We’re proud to call them good friends of Metallica”), they hit the stage with “Nightmare,” and the audience went ballistic. The loud and proud metal band pummeled the enthusiastic fans, and very few of them left until the set ended with “Unholy Confessions” followed by a brief fireworks display. They probably would have done well on the main stage, but the fact that the “Fuel” stage is smaller than their usual environment definitely gave their performance a sense of occasion.

Questa la piccola parte, invece, che Rolling Stone ha dedicato ai nostri ragazzi:

Avenged Sevenfold took the opposite stage an hour earlier and was seemingly granted what no other band was – permission to go all-out with staging, pyrotechnics and fireworks. Opening with “Nightmare,” the title track of the band’s 2010 album, Avenged Sevenfold featured more pyro in its first two songs than Metallica used on both nights combined.
