Another weekend, another road trip, another great concert. A handful of friends and I were able to catch the Nightmare After Christmas tour in Cincinnati this past weekend. Not only did it give me an excuse to see some friends that live there, but it also happen to feature two of my favorite bands….one of which is Avenged Sevenfold.

This show proved to be one that I’m glad I didn’t miss.While I was very excited to see A7X again, I was a bit nervous about this concert. I’ve seen them before, but this was the first time since their legendary drummer passed away in December of 2009. I was quite interested to see how the band was progressing, and how their show had changed since the loss of a founding member and legendary drummer.
