This song is biblical af. I love it. The story of the wh**e of babel. The ancient city of Babylon. This is what made me first fall in love with A7X. The songs were always so intricate and intelligent
Yes and nope. Babylon the great is not the old Babel, it's all the false religions together, also called The Harlot. The beast is where she sits on and it represents the political global organizations. According to Revelations in the Bible, The Harlot (Babylon the great, The religions) will come mounted on The Beast (The Politics), The Beast suddenly would attack her and eat her, meaning that the politic governments around the world will sooner or later attack the "false" religions around the world destroying them forever.
This brings me back to being 13-14 again. So freaking nostalgic when I listen to A7X, BFMV, Three Days Grace, Seether. Brings back so many other memories too of how simple life was back then for me. Nostalgia can suck sometimes lol
There's a lot of Christian and Hebrew apocalyptic iconography in A7X songs. The main woman in the video is a personification for Babylon the Great, which is referenced in the earlier chorus. Shes also referred to as the Whore of Babylon and the Mother of Harlots and Abominations, hence being called the Harlot and the abominations she turns people into, which also informs the dwelling place for demons line. The Beast being referenced is actually three beings; one is the beast with 7 heads and 10 horns that Babylon sat upon in Revelation as she seduced the Kings of Man, called the Beast of the Sea, which in Revelation is the Anti-Christ. The second Beast being referenced is Beast of the Land, represented by the one band member as he directs the Harlot to corrupting certain individuals, while the lead singer is the Dragon, the one empowering them to corrupt those decided. Another interesting thing to notice is the sins associated with the people turned in the video: the first girl is the only one who looks happy about the contract, most likely because it means money, alluding to the deadly sin of Greed, the man in the bar is behaving erratically and violently, meaning Wrath, the young boy is more on the nose as lust, the dancer near the end is most likely pride due to how confidently she shows her body. Missing a few of the 7 Deadly Sins, but just sometbing i thought of years ago
i really hope you get to review "i wont see you tonight" parts 1 and 2, full of soo much emoion, such a story behind it, theres highs and lows, its the biggest roller coaster of a song ever
@@mtrz023the book is known by a few names. The most well know is “The Book of Revelation”. It’s also known as “The Revelation of St. John”, “Revelations” (which is erroneous), and “The Apocalypse of St. John”.
Next has to be Bat Country. It's their signature song. Hail to the King, The Stage and MIA are great too. They are not emo but got labled as such due to this video and get a lot of hatred. Vampires and emo are different things. I think this album has themes relating to the book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Like many others have said, you should check out the live version at LBC, this video cuts out the intro/outro and the final chorus, which in my opinion is the best part of the song
It's just biblical imagery made metal, nothing crazy. Even their name, Avenged Sevenfold is from Genesis regarding Cain killing Abel and God saying something to the effect of "Abel will have vengeance sevenfold." (Their song Chapter 4 from Waking The Fallen is exactly about Cain killing Abel and his journey for penance from God for his sin of murder).Their debut album name, Sounding The Seventh Trumpet, is a reference to Exodus and the End Times where trumpets will sound from the heavens and signify the end times. "And All Things Will End", the last song on WTF, is another reference to Exodus.
It's about REVELATIONS 18. I was surprised how many of their songs are Bible related.... CHAPTER 4 (Genesis) is another. And their Band Name also comes from Genesis
I remember reading a few articles about how often they were asked if they were a religious band and their answer was essentially "No, but the Bible is kinda metal AF"
This is The first time I see someone reacts to beast and the harlot and did not talk or even notice anything about the real music because this is one of the best songs that had/have the greatest guitar riffs , solos and Drums
Wouldn’t make a difference in her comments cause this song is one of the best guitar rifffs and solos, shreddings and stuff …. But nothing about the real music just about the music video
This band, and this song is what started it all for me. Slipknot as well. But specifically a7x. I use to only listen to rap lol but I became friends with a kid in the neighborhood who was a couple years older than me and he showed me a7x, bullet for my valentine, atreyu, killswitch engage, underoath..and I never looked back haha You should check out Landmvrks “lost in a wave” or “death” 🙏🏼
You should definitely make a reaction to "buried alive". Typical A7X up and down and M.Shadows at his best! After Afterlive my favorite and the absolute favorite song of my 14 year old son!
A lot of A7X music videos cut out parts of the songs. Beast and the Harlot, Bat Country, Afterlife. All the music videos irritate me. Classics but cut out too much
I love songs like these. I don’t know if you know or not, but it’s about the story of Babylon and the book of Revelations. Another one they do that’s great is Chapter Four and it’s about the story of Cain and Abel
Definitely need to do Higher from them one of their most underrated songs imo you should also check out let there be rock from ACDC the guitar work on that song in MENTAL
are you going to go back to live at the lbc? I've suggested previously that you react to the whole concert so hopefully you can make that happen! I would especially react to it so you can re-listen to this song since the music video cut a few parts out.
Por favor Adorei ver sua reação e interpretação da música Cosmic, e sei que será ainda melhor se assistir o videoclip oficial que saiu. As ilustrações mostram as respostas que faltavam para um melhor entendimento, sem contar as diversas novas emoções que irá sentr. Se puder fazer um vídeo reagindo ao videoclip de Cosmic ficarei imensamente grato. Obrigado!

A lot of people have no clue this song comes from revelations in the Bible.

@@dillonsronce2583 Which is weird, because it's on the nose as hell.
When writing this album though they were referring to Las Vegas.
@@Lateralus138 ??
this song was released in 2005. they uploaded it on youtube in 2009
You should'hv listened to the full version live at LBC
It's awesomeeeeee
Highly suggest Trashed and Scattered LIVE in New York. Matt´s vocals are out of this world.
This brings me back to being 13-14 again. So freaking nostalgic when I listen to A7X, BFMV, Three Days Grace, Seether. Brings back so many other memories too of how simple life was back then for me. Nostalgia can suck sometimes lol
The music video cuts out like legit 45 seconds of the song, watch the Live at the LBC version, the Rev is absolutely nuts on this track
Fr. Was excited for her to here his solo, but disappointed to see she heard the shortened version
avenged sevenfold second heartbeat
Second heartbeat live in lbc
No.. live in warped tour 2004
yes, but live
Yess.... Lbc pliss
Live lbc

Next avenged sevenfold M.I.A
This one!!! Make sure you pay attention closely to the lyrics too!!
i really hope you get to review "i wont see you tonight" parts 1 and 2, full of soo much emoion, such a story behind it, theres highs and lows, its the biggest roller coaster of a song ever
SERIOUSLY!!! Iwsyt Part 1 is the most underrated song ever. Probably the best song of theirs IMO ❤❤
When I found this band at 14 boy, I can confirm I did fangirl a lot
Book of the Apocalypse. Written by St John on his exile on the island of Patmos. 60s or 90s AD
It's in revelation
@@mtrz023the book is known by a few names. The most well know is “The Book of Revelation”. It’s also known as “The Revelation of St. John”, “Revelations” (which is erroneous), and “The Apocalypse of St. John”.
"She" is the City, I believe.
the album version has a key change at the end
Next has to be Bat Country. It's their signature song. Hail to the King, The Stage and MIA are great too. They are not emo but got labled as such due to this video and get a lot of hatred. Vampires and emo are different things. I think this album has themes relating to the book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
this song talks about the fall of Babylon (from the bible) and how it looks like Hollywood
Seize the day is another good one
Alay
Like many others have said, you should check out the live version at LBC, this video cuts out the intro/outro and the final chorus, which in my opinion is the best part of the song
It’s so sad seeing the rev knowing what happened
This music video awakened me in many ways when I was 12.
love how you kept pointing out shadows’ grills lmao, him and zacky with them on are just mwah

Extended drum solo version of this song is so much better
It's about REVELATIONS 18. I was surprised how many of their songs are Bible related.... CHAPTER 4 (Genesis) is another. And their Band Name also comes from Genesis
I remember reading a few articles about how often they were asked if they were a religious band and their answer was essentially "No, but the Bible is kinda metal AF"
This song has some of Matt’s finest vocals. You should definitely check out the official vocal track and do a reaction to it!
Buried Alive - A7X 🙏
Or God Hates Us live rock am ring
This one must definitely react.
8:55 the bible lol
The song was created in 2005, but the music video was uploaded years after.
Talking about his vocals, i wish you had listened to the album version
A7x has several sings retelling biblical stories. The best of which is "chapter 4", the story of cain and Abel
thankyou for reacting to A⁷x again...cant wait to see you react to gunslinger live performance in LBC
you should do the stage, its a really packed song
This is The first time I see someone reacts to beast and the harlot and did not talk or even notice anything about the real music because this is one of the best songs that had/have the greatest guitar riffs , solos and Drums
This straight up revalations bible.
Beast and the harlot is a favorite because its on good ol guitar hero 2 (decent challenge song at that) just listening to it is incredible
Ily so much for continuing to react to one of my favorite bands of all time
W AVENGED SEVENFOLD 🤘🏼🤘🏼 I've been watching your channel lately and tune into you twitch channel often love your stuff
avenged sevenfold - i won't see you tonight part 1
react to beast and the harlot live in the lbc, the music video cuts the drum solo of the rev
Man, why do the music videos always cut out the best parts lol. Same thing on Afterlife.
Wouldn’t make a difference in her comments cause this song is one of the best guitar rifffs and solos, shreddings and stuff …. But nothing about the real music just about the music video
Dang, I wish you had done the album version. It's much longer, has a great intro, and is just a better song in general
What I loved about this music video, it honestly felt like a concept for a metal gangster movie. 👀
This was one of the first bands i ever got into on my metal journey way back in like 2006ish
RIP The Rev. Forever missed. 🤟
"Hail to the King" from Avenged next reaction 🔥
This music video does things to me, they look so good..
This band, and this song is what started it all for me. Slipknot as well. But specifically a7x. I use to only listen to rap lol but I became friends with a kid in the neighborhood who was a couple years older than me and he showed me a7x, bullet for my valentine, atreyu, killswitch engage, underoath..and I never looked back haha
You should check out Landmvrks “lost in a wave” or “death” 🙏🏼
Welcome to early 2000s of Avenged sevenfold. 😂
The live version of this song on LBC is much better than the studio version.
The song tells of the fallen city of Babylon and the beast and the harlot as told in the book of revelation in the Bible
This song about the dark world, if you one step to get in, then you can't get out ever. Simple😊
Listening to them since I was 5 I almost like every song they have made
2005 was this song. I was 19 when it came out.
As a 14 y/o avenged sevenfold fan, I can confirm i definitely fangirl over m. Shadows. (And literally every single member)
letsgooo, yay , hugs from Brazil ^^
Love A7x and Rayactions
SECOND HEARTBEAT LIVE LBC!!
You should definitely make a reaction to "buried alive". Typical A7X up and down and M.Shadows at his best! After Afterlive my favorite and the absolute favorite song of my 14 year old son!
Blinded in Chains is another perfect song to react.
I miss Rev so fukin much my heart hurts sometimes just thinking about him..😢
Save me A7X
my favorite song ever !!
Their best song imo
A lot of A7X music videos cut out parts of the songs. Beast and the Harlot, Bat Country, Afterlife. All the music videos irritate me. Classics but cut out too much
Yeah mv are radio cut 😵💫
The book of Revelations explains it all.
Omg yes more!!!!!
I love songs like these. I don’t know if you know or not, but it’s about the story of Babylon and the book of Revelations. Another one they do that’s great is Chapter Four and it’s about the story of Cain and Abel
Avenged Sevenfold - game over
Loved them since I was 13 ❤❤❤
you must see Avanged Sevenfold Bat Country Live LBC
Please react their live at Grammy museum, they perform well there
GOD DAMN MUSIC VIDEO A7X!! 🗣️
Definitely need to do Higher from them one of their most underrated songs imo you should also check out let there be rock from ACDC the guitar work on that song in MENTAL
Avenged Sevenfold - Danger Line
SAVE ME and EXIST are my two favorite songs ever and they're both made by a7x !!
This song is underrated among my friends in indonesia,most of them only know dear god and so far away
Exist or Strenght of the World, two different vibes but are great songs too
from A7X, Acid Rain | I Won't See You Tonight Part 1 maybe..
Man, I miss this era of A7X. The goth metal punk hip hop all blended tigger style was amazing. Grills, eye shadow, fedora, etc….
You should listen to the non music video version of beast and the harlot because the music video cuts out the intro, outro, and a rev drum solo
bat country, almost easy, welcome to the family, buried alive, shepherd of fire, the stage, carry on
Must unholly cofession.. very most soft song in the world
I'd suggest hearing "crimson day" or "acid rain".
are you going to go back to live at the lbc? I've suggested previously that you react to the whole concert so hopefully you can make that happen!
I would especially react to it so you can re-listen to this song since the music video cut a few parts out.
