This article on Blabbermouth.net with Avenged Sevenfold brings up important points about today's music touring industry.
But do we HAVE to have big production tours? In the olden days, bands would just stand in front of you and play music. Can bands play smaller shows with less equipment, no lazers, no video screens, no dancers, no props? We're seeing smaller theaters and performance venues previously utilized for plays and ballets now hosting rock tours, why not just make shows about MUSIC again? Bands want to play music, everyone just downsize the experience, play club shows, and connect with audiences based on music?
In a new interview with Bradley Hall, AVENGED SEVENFOLD frontman M. Shadows spoke about the realities of post-pandemic touring, including increased travel expenses — gas, tour buses, hotels and flight costs. The singer, whose real name is Matt Sanders, said in part (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH....

Do you hear the glitch in the guitar track at 2:09?
I love this time of year when you hear Trans-Siberian Orchestra everywhere. But listening to this album for the millioneth time & different headphones, I noticed there is a cut in the guitar track at just over the two minute mark. Is it a production splice? A punch-in? Some other kind of edit? Maybe a mistake by guitarist Al Pitrelli that was left in or unnoticed? Or just the way the track sounds?
Either way, TSO is my hero!
