All Music Guide Review
Live in the LBC and Diamonds in the Rough is a two-disc CD/DVD combo released during Avenged Sevenfold's 2008 tour. Peppered with unreleased rarities and covers (including a muscular version of Pantera's "Walk"), the audio disc mostly caters to the band's established audience. The accompanying DVD proves to be the highlight of this release as it captures the group in all its debauched glory, combining Mötley Crüe-styled theatrics with alt-metal muscle. Scantily clad women gyrate on-stage while the bandmates churn through a greatest-hits set list, with "Critical Acclaim," "Afterlife," "Seize the Day," and "Scream" all making appearances. The band's dual guitar solos are executed with precision, and frontman M. Shadows is in fine voice here (ironically, Avenged Sevenfold ultimately canceled a slew of shows several months later due to strain on Shadows' throat). Flashy, confident, and decidedly R-rated, the DVD makes this package a worthy purchase for most Avenged Sevenfold fanatics. ~ Andrew Leahey, All Music Guide

Live in the LBC and Diamonds in the Rough Notes
“We had this mack-daddy tour with
tons of production, pyros and videos,
and we wanted to be able to offer it to
kids who couldn’t make it.”
—M. Shadows
While headlining the Rockstar Taste Of
Chaos tour earlier this year, Avenged
Sevenfold (aka A7X) taped its full,
incendiary April 10 homecoming gig
at the Long Beach Arena. Now
Avenged Sevenfold issues a DVD of
that concert plus a CD featuring previously
unreleased songs and covers
(including Iron Maiden and Pantera)
recorded during the sessions for last
year’s #4-charting, near-gold selftitled
album. Vengeance is sweet with
this metallic CD+DVD package.
