The Avenged Sevenfold Tour was a concert tour by American heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold between 2007 and 2009, promoting their album Avenged Sevenfold . It was the band's last tour with the drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan who died on December 28, 2009.
The tour began on October 29, 2007, with a North American leg, shortly after the band finished its previous tour in support of City of Evil . The tour ended on August 2, 2009, at the Sonisphere Festival in Knebworth , England.
During the band's North American leg in autumn 2008, after a show on September 6, 2008, the vocalist M. Shadows had difficulties singing, and flew to see his doctor, cancelling the Baltimore show the next day. The whole co-headlining tour with Buckcherry was then cancelled because of Shadows' case of vocal fatigue. The band resumed the tour after Shadows took some rest, with a short Japanese leg starting on October 15, 2008, and then on November 4, 2008, the band rescheduled its cancelled North American leg and played through November and December a co-headlining tour with Buckcherry and the support acts Shinedown and Saving Abel , in place of the cancelled tour.
The summer leg 2008 was as an opening act for Iron Maiden . The band also played three dates in June 2009, in support of Metallica .
During the band's headlining of the North American Taste of Chaos 2008 tour, it recorded the April 10, 2008, performance, for its first live DVD, entitled Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough , which was a bundle of a live DVD, and a CD of B-sides and unreleased tracks from the Avenged Sevenfold album.
On 16 April 2009, Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash joined the band on stage to play a cover version of the Guns N' Roses song "It's So Easy ".
