Only Stop In Asia - Avenged Sevenfold Concert in Jakarta

---

---

Sorry I can only tell you now, after two weeks of the concert and I thought of writing something very valuable in my life. I start with my story on May 25th yesterday, one of my bucket lists in my life was achieved.

A very long journey, from the city of Medan to the capital city of Jakarta that I took at that time. I flew and with full anxiety mixed with excitement to meet the band that has accompanied me since 2008, Avenged Sevenfold. They held a concert 'The Only Stop in Asia' which shocked fans throughout the Asian continent this year. After a very long time they finally came back to this country.

_{The Only Stop In Asia}

One of the largest fanbases in Asia, we are very proud to be able to meet them. Singing songs together and also a very valuable fan meeting. Spending a lot of money and energy paid off when they greeted us very warmly. A day full of joy and deep emotion.

That afternoon, the Gelora Bung Karno Madya Stadium was filled with many people who dominated with black clothes who would soon enter the stadium. This is the main entrance that will be the starting point for an amazing meeting. Of course I wear comfortable black clothes and jeans so I can move freely and it's crowded inside while watching the concert.

In front there is already a large banner that says 'Avenged Sevenfold' with a skull and also flying wings. The banner that is the background of their album 'LIBAD - Life Is Bad A Dream'. That afternoon was really crowded, filled with the happy screams of many people who finally got to meet Matt Shadows, Synyster Gates, Zacky, Johnny and Brooks.

The afternoon finally turned into night, where they would perform at 20.30 WIB, we waited very patiently because there were several performances from 2 famous bands, The Used and Killing Me Inside. Finally, they performed the first song, Mattel very well. Seeing Matt Shadows wearing a face and head cover, I couldn't even see it very clearly.

_{Long Night With A7X Performance}

That night was really very exciting, even trending on X and many people were very jealous of the setlist they brought. You know, the setlist that is truly loved by Indonesian deathbath, of course as a big fan of A7X, this means a lot to me.

The setlist that became the spearhead of my initial liking for this progressive heavy metal band. I first heard the song 'Dear God' which became my favorite in 2008, then spread to the album 'City of Evil' and finally liked all the songs on the album 'Nightmare'. You know, how sad I was when I found out that one of their personnel died, namely 'The Rev' who was so loved.

With a very good performance, very satisfying service from the promoter and also Avenged Sevenfold who were so friendly. This was a concert that made me cry so much, happy and miss them again. I almost fainted because my legs were shaking so much I couldn't hold back my emotion! This is a gift that God gave me this year.

_{The Live Screen With AI}

What's unique about this concert is the use of AI which is so impressive that I've never seen this at a Coldplay concert before. Where the screen changes the shape of the personnel into something special in every movement directly. You know the band also sells merchandise with NFT and also season passes that can be accessed through their website.

I kept shouting ‘MATT’ because you know Matt Shadows is my first love! It’s like a dream that I don’t dare to wake up quickly. I can’t bear to leave this dream. Really, I was so happy then until today.

See you the next time hive friends!
