The curtains at the top of the stage caught fire during AVENGED SEVENFOLD’s November 29, 2011 concert at Eastern Kentucky Exposition Center in Pikeville, Kentucky. No one was injured in the incident, which was caused by the band’s pyrotechnics, and after the small flame was extinguished, the show continued.
Commented AVENGED SEVENFOLD singer M. Shadows from the stage, “I guess that’s what happens when we try and blow everything up.”
Fan-filmed video footage of the incident can be seen below.

All three previous singles from “Nightmare” the title track, “Welcome to the Family” and “So Far Away” have peaked at No. 1 on the Active Rock chart. Released worldwide in July 2010, “Nightmare” earned AVENGED SEVENFOLD its highest-ever debut on the Billboard album chart when it bowed at No. 1 and topped Billboard’s Rock, Hard Rock, and Digital charts. The title track was the most played song at Media Base Active Rock for 2010.
