of Concert: January 25, 2011 Location of Concert: Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Huntington, WV Openers: Hollywood Undead and New Medicine My cousin Zachary and I went to see Avenged Sevenfold and Stone Sour in concert. New Medicine and Hollywood Undead opened. I don&#8217;t remember a ton from them, but they were good to start the night. Stone Sour, which was the biggest reason why I wanted to go to this show, played next. I think every album they&#8217;ve released is great and it was great to see them play live. Singer Corey Taylor, also of Slipknot, is a great singer\/songwriter\/frontman. I love Slipknot but I love Stone Sour too.\u00a0 They&#8217;re a little more hard rock, and not quite as heavy and intense as Slipknot is and I like that too. As I type this in 2023, Stone Sour is on a indefinite hiatus (Corey is still in Slipknot and has a solo career now too.) but hopefully they will someday return. Now to the headliner:\u00a0 Avenged Sevenfold. I&#8217;ve been a fan of theirs since college, but I still don&#8217;t quite worship them like a lot of people do. But I definitely like them and they&#8217;re a huge band. They put on a big rock show and give the fans what they want. Can&#8217;t ask for anything more. Avenged Sevenfold Band Members: M.
