Avenged Sevenfold Returns At Welcome To Rockville 2023 Day 2

Johnnie Crow — Tue, 23 May 2023 03:58:11 +0000

Welcome To Rockville continued to fill the Daytona International Speedway with heavy music and passionate fans on Friday, May 19, 2023.

WTR23 The Warning – Lexie Alley

The Warning played a great set on the Space Zebra main stage. The Villarreal Vélez sisters from Mexico were dressed in white, a smart choice based on the oppressive heat during a daytime show. Lead singer Daniela even strapped on a white explorer guitar for their version of Enter Sandman, which Metallica had requested for the black album reissue. The Warning delivers a powerful sound from 3 small women.

WTR23 Ayron Jones – Steve Thrasher

Ayron Jones was shredding along with his boys from the Puget Sound on the Octane stage. The only thing hotter than the sun beating down on the crowd was Ayron’s hot licks. He played several new songs, along with his recent hits. Ayron told the crowd that he was there for the other outcasts, freaks and misfits.

WTR23 Badflower – Steve Thrasher

Badflower crushed their performance on Space Zebra main stage. They cleverly played “It’s 5:00 Somewhere” as they walked on stage a little after 5:00. Josh Katz came out in a white cutoff T-shirt which parodied himself, and a pink beanie hat. Insanely, they were only given 30 minutes, so they tore through “Don’t Hate Me”, ” Johnny Wants To Fight”, “Heroin”, “The Jester”, “Ghost”, “Stalker” and “30”. Josh roamed the pits to get close to everyone. Fans sang along to every word. It was a phenomenal show which ended far too soon. This festival could be improved with fewer artists and longer sets for the bigger acts.

WTR23 Sleeping With Sirens – Lexie Alley

Sleeping With Sirens rocked the Octane stage with their high energy squeaking, like a puppy with an annoying toy.

WTR23 Motionless In White – Steve Thrasher

Motionless In White lit up the Space Zebra main stage, quite literally, with plenty of fire, lights and videos. This was the 1st US show of 2023 for the goth metal hit makers. They recalled playing Welcome To Rockville a lot, but this was their 1st time at Daytona. Chris Cerulli exclaimed “Welcome to watch the goth band melt in the sun show!” He thanked Florida radio and SiriusXM Octane for their 1st #1 hit “Masterpiece”, which was a huge singalong. They had a guest screamer, David Benites, on Reincarnate. They had time for 10 songs and each one got a huge reception.

WTR23 I Prevail – Steve Thrasher

SXM host Jose Mangin had his wife Melissa Mangin introduce I Prevail on the Octane stage. Women really seem to love this band.

WTR23 Hardy – Steve Thrasher

Country star Hardy played the main stage. There was some controversy about having him on the lineup. It would be interesting to see if he can win people over. The band, 2 guitarists and a drummer, came out rocking to lasers. Hardy came out looking like a yoked Kid Rock, singing “Sold Out” with the massive crowd singing along. “Kill Sh!t Till I Die” went over very well in gun loving Florida. The overall vibe was country songs with alt rock music. Hardy played a guitar for “Jack”. He told the crowd “This is our first ever rock show. We are a rock band tonight.” Some of the songs echoed Green Day in sonic tone, others were metal and thrashy. The show was all rock, with smoke and lights. They did a cool cover of “Big Empty” from Stone Temple Pilots. He played his ironic “Radio Song”, joined by Florida’s own Jeremy McKinnon of A Day To Remember. Hardy shotgunned a beer while singing “The Redneck Song”, which brought an extended “Hardy! Hardy!” chant from the crowd, and that put a huge smile on his face. He wanted to play one country song that changed his life and showed how thankful he is to live in greatest country in world. He covered Blake Shelton’s “God’s Country” which ended with another huge chant of “USA! USA! USA!” He finished with “The Mockingbird & The Crow. There was no doubt that he belonged at this festival.

WTR23 Evanescence – Lexie Alley

Evanescence delivered the best show of the day on the Octane stage. The band’s newest member, Emma Anzai, provided angelic backing vocals and incredible bass playing. Amy Lee has so much power and emotion, even had the crowd roaring in response to an acapella whisper. Amy challenged everyone to use their voice and fight for each other and for what is right. She reminded that we are all in this together, and she hopes that love will win. For the encore, she mentioned that it has been 20 years since the “Fallen” album was released. They are still out here doing it, and having more fun than ever. Everyone sang along to “My Immortal”, and attempted to keep up with her unmatched vocal skills on “Bring Me To Life”.

WTR23 Avenged Sevenfold – Steve Thrasher

Finally, it was time for the long awaited return of Avenged Sevenfold, after 5 years away. A7x led off with a slow, weird and chaotic new song, “Game Over”. They also had a weird instagram filter on the live video screens, which looked like Thanos has snapped his fingers. Then things kicked into gear when they started “Afterlife”, which got the fans psyched. “Hail To The King” kept things moving along nicely. After that, M. Shadows noted that they have been gone awhile, and they have to get used to the energy brought by the crowd. He introduced another new song, “We Love You”, which was frankly not good. Most people were just confused. It changed tone drastically throughout, from club pulse to acoustic slide guitar and heavy breathing. It sounded like a German Nine Inch Nails song. Shadows could sense the crowd’s confusion and commented “Give it some time; you might like it some day.”

There was a huge roar as they started playing “Buried Alive”. There’s nothing cooler than the lefty-righty back-to-back double solos from Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates. Next was a touching tribute to “The Rev” in front of “So Far Away”. Shadows reminded everyone to be in the present in the moment and enjoy the life you have today. Tell people you love them enjoy moments like this. Thousands put up their lighters and phones in tribute.

A third new song, “Nobody”, got the best reception, with a riff reminiscent of Alice In Chains. The rest of the set was classic A7X. Despite the set being a bit short for a headliner, and Shadows admitting that the band had a ways to go in order to return to form, it was a wonderful experience all around. Not many cared about anything else but enjoying the experience of “Nightmare”, “Bat Country”, “Unholy Confessions” and “A Little Piece Of Heaven”. Welcome back!

Officially Certified Gold in the U.S.

ATTENTION ATTENTION Feature Film – Out Now

Multi-platinum rock band Shinedown has announced their second headlining 2022 North American outing, The Revolution’s Live Tour, with special guests The Pretty Reckless and DIAMANTE. Kicking off April 1 in Spokane, the 24-date trek, produced by Frank Productions, will see the acclaimed quartet, hailed for their high-octane live shows, travel throughout the U.S. with stops in Boise, Green Bay, Des Moines, Baltimore, Columbus, Wichita, Birmingham, Greensboro, and Nashville, among others, before wrapping in Knoxville on May 7. Later in May, Shinedown will head to Daytona Beach for Welcome To Rockville 2022 where they’ll headline Saturday, May 21 alongside Guns N’ Roses and Rise Against.

“Without question, we are beyond excited for this tour!” shares front man Brent Smith. “Not only to bring the fans/family the biggest stage show we have ever created, but also to be working with two extraordinary bands fronted by the most incredible women in rock n roll today. The Revolution’s Live, so LET’S GO!!!”

Fan club pre-sale begins December 14 at 10am local time. Venue and radio pre-sale begin December 15 at 10am local time. General on sale begins December 17 at 10am local time. Full routing below. For more details, please visit www.shinedown.com.

The Revolution’s Live Tour will follow the band’s winter tour, Shinedown Live In Concert, where Shinedown will bring their exciting live performance, backed by their eye-popping production, back to arenas for the first time since 2020. The upcoming 22-date outing will travel throughout the West Coast, Canada, and more, stopping in such cities as Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, Las Vegas, Seattle, Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal. Pop Evil and Ayron Jones will support on select dates; tickets are on sale now. After taking over North America, Shinedown will move their live set across the pond next summer for a UK and European run featuring festival appearances at Rock im Park and Rock am Ring in Germany, Download Festival in the UK, and HellFest in France along with select shows with Iron Maiden.

The new tour announcement comes on the heels of the recent RIAA gold certification of Shinedown’s 2018 record-breaking studio album ATTENTION ATTENTION. The band’s chart-topping and sixth full-length record, featuring hits such as crossover anthem “GET UP,” the explosive “MONSTERS,” RIAA certified gold hit “DEVIL,” the rousing “THE HUMAN RADIO,” and title track “ATTENTION ATTENTION,” has accumulated more than 622 million global streams, debuted Top 5 on the Billboard 200, simultaneously hit #1 on Billboard’s Alternative, Top Rock and Hard Rock Albums Charts, and led to five iHeart Radio Music Award nominations.

ATTENTION ATTENTION has also been turned into an enthralling sonic and visual experience, bringing to life the in-depth story behind the album. The feature film, released in September via Gravitas Ventures, is available for viewing on digital and cable VOD in the U.S. and Canada via iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, Comcast, Dish Network, Verizon Fios, and Mediacom, and is also available for purchase on Blu-ray and DVD – PRESS HERE to purchase and watch. The stunning work of art, hailed as “a visual masterpiece” and “optical roller-coaster ride,” was directed by Bill Yukich (Beyoncé, Metallica, Wiz Khalifa) and features theatrical performances from the band, Melora Walters (Magnolia, Big Love, PEN15), and Francesca Eastwood (Old, Twin Peaks, Fargo), among others. From life’s lowest lows to the highest highs, what emerges from the ATTENTION ATTENTION film is a powerful and enduring statement about humanity, overcoming struggle, the importance of mental health, not being afraid to fail, and the resolve of the human spirit. PRESS HERE to watch the trailer.

Ahead of all that 2022 has in store, fans can catch Smith & Myers (the duo comprised of front man Brent Smith and guitarist Zach Myers) on their in-progress headlining tour this month, which will wrap with a special New Year’s Eve show in Orlando on December 31st featuring special guests J.R.

Metallica, Rob Zombie, Social Distortion, Ice Nine Kills, Starset and Ayron Jones Rock Welcome To Rockville 2021 Day 2

Johnnie Crow — Sun, 14 Nov 2021 17:55:28 +0000

Metallica by Steve Thrasher for Danny Wimmer Presents

Welcome to Rockville 2021 was highlighted by an incredible set from Metallica featuring hits from every album throughout their legendary career.

Rob Zombie by Steve Thrasher for Danny Wimmer Presents

Rob Zombie brought his typical monster mayhem, closing out the SiriusXM Octane stage ahead of the mighty Metallica.

Metallica by Tyler Church for Danny Wimmer Presents

Metallica delivered perhaps their greatest setlist of all time, playing songs from every album, even the live and cover ones.

Metallica setlist 11/12/21

James Hetfield was in a great mood, joking with the crowd about how much “St. Anger” was growing on them, and that they might just play the whole thing.

Ayron Jones by Steve Thrasher for Danny Wimmer Presents

Ayron Jones got the Space Zebra main stage cooking with his Seattle style blues, complete with a slick Nirvana cover of “Breed”.

Starset by Tyler Church for Danny Wimmer Presents

Starset put on an amazing spectacle with their post-apocalyptic sci-fi set and wardrobe.

Ice Nine Kills by Steve Thrasher for Danny Wimmer Presents

Continuing the blend of movies and music, Ice Nine Kills crushed a set full of horror movie based songs.

Jose Mangin & Ice Nine Kills by Steve Thrasher for Danny Wimmer Presents

The highlight of the Ice Nine Kills was SiriusXM Metal Ambassador running on stage and getting stabbed by Spencer Charnas, acting out the lyrics to the brilliant “Hip To Be Scared”.

Social Distortion by Steve Thrasher for Danny Wimmer Presents

One of the greatest things about festivals is expanding your musical horizons.

Pennywise by Steve Thrasher for Danny Wimmer Presents

California punk rock legends Social Distortion and Pennywise showed how things were done, and how much influence punk rock still has today.

Butcher Babies by Ana Massard for Danny Wimmer Presents

The festival grounds were full of live art installations, custom guitars from Ronz World, and art created by musicians, including Carla Harvey from Butcher Babies.

Wage War by Ana Massard for Danny Wimmer Presents

Florida’s own Wage War closed out the Rockvillian stage with a bang.

Ayron Jones by Steve Thrasher for Danny Wimmer Presents
