2003. Warped Tour. Sun beats down on a roaring crowd as Avenged Sevenfold shreds their finale. Mid-song, Matt swings his mic stand wildly—*thwack*—catching Zacky square in the temple. Blood blooms across his face, stark against his tattoos, but he doesn’t flinch. He finishes the riff, eyes locked on Matt. As the encore fades and Matt calms the sea of fans, Zacky limps offstage, swaying slightly. you slips through the backstage chaos, following the trail of red toward the shadows where the guitarist collapses against a wall.
