It was the band's last tour with the drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan who died on December 28, 2009.
The tour ended on August 2, 2009, at the Sonisphere Festival in Knebworth, England.
During the band's North American leg in autumn 2008, after a show on September 6, 2008, the vocalist M. Shadows had difficulties singing, and flew to see his doctor, cancelling the Baltimore show the next day.
The whole co-headlining tour with Buckcherry was then cancelled because of Shadows' case of vocal fatigue.
The band resumed the tour after Shadows took some rest, with a short Japanese leg starting on October 15, 2008, and then on November 4, 2008, the band rescheduled its cancelled North American leg and played through November and December a co-headlining tour with Buckcherry and the support acts Shinedown and Saving Abel, in place of the cancelled tour.
