M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold sat down for a lengthy new video interview. He talks about how the touring industry is really diffucult right now:
“Touring is very hard right now for bands,” Shadows said [as transcribed by Blabbermouth]. “It’s almost impossible. And you’re also having a big downturn in ticket sales right now. People have been blown out by ticket prices, because of the touring, because of the inflation, so every single thing stacks on top. And then you’ve got people that are very upset about what ticket prices are, which I get. It’s kind of crazy to go see a couple of bands and it’s gonna cost you five, six hundred bucks, or if it’s country artists, it’s a thousand dollars, if it’s Taylor Swift, it’s $3,200, or whatever it is.”
