Avenged Sevenfold performs Bat Country without guitarist Synyster Gates on stage

During the July 19 show at Xfinity Center, guitarist Synyster Gates injured his leg during The Stage. He played the song from backstage, and the rest of the band poked fun at him for not being up front for his solo. After the song, they realized he was pretty badly injured. The show paused for about twenty minutes while they wrapped his leg, and set up a vocal mic backstage. Gates finished the show playing offstage.
