Yeah man, there are SO many parts of this song that makes this song probably their Top 3 songs in their discography, but the radio version cuts it out which is a damn shame. Totally agree.
Hunter Ritter 12 I feel like the music video gives a good image of the song and you kind of need that for this song’s first listen, but I just wish they didn’t lob off the into, outro, drum solo, and half the last chorus for it. The stark endings are just pretty bad to me.
Man when you were shocked by the drummer it's crazy. Because its clear that you didn't know that he's dead. But with Recordings like this I guess he's not. He lives on. RIP Rev.
@CODY ADAMS lol nope. As much as I like Acclaim, The Stage is such a better composition that it's not even funny. PS: Also, go ahead "Jedi Jesus" and make your joke.
@@DiegoDeschain Yeah, The Stage is next-level songwriting compared to Critical Acclaim. Not even a close race. Did Critical Acclaim even have a video? I don't recall, and the video for The Stage is also top shelf.
This is possibly my ALL TIME favorite Avenged Sevenfold song. The long, uncut, unedited version is absolutely fantastic. If you pay attention to the lyrical content, it speaks about events straight out of the book of Revelations. This song is essentially a Sunday school lesson in a killer heavy metal song. A LOT of Avenged Sevenfold's songs have a very subtle (or not that subtle) religious or Christian meaning to them.
This is the song that got me into the band. This came out in a time where technicality had taken a major backseat in terms of rock music, and Synyster came out ripping this solo. Caught my attention and appreciation ever since.
Why does nobody suggest "Chapter Four" or "Remenissions" from the Waking The Fallen album? Personally my favorite songs from the album are: 1) Remenissions 2) Chapter Four 3) Second Heartbeat
@@dyingaether we all have listened to original I think he should first do original audio version In live version there's to much to look on for the first time you know!
You're right part of the reason A7X is hated on is because they are a mainstream metal band. They've been described as a metal boy band. But their true push on to the mainstream came on one of the old PS2 versions of Madden football when they started adding music to their game. So if you want to react to their first mainstream song list to Avenged Sevenfold Chapter Four. This song is from their 2nd album.
Great song choice :) This really is one of The Revs best songs. Its also really hard to play. I only got to hear it with him behind the drums once and it was incredible. Lyrically it's amazing. The whole album for me is as close to perfection as you can get. Nothing has come close yet in my opinion.
yo dude love your a7x reactions. Really hope you get around to their song "I won't see you tonight (part 1)". It was the other song their guitarist Synyster Gates wrote. He's the one who wrote So Far Away. I won't see you tonight is another one of their sad tunes, it's amazing.
Dude, you've gotta watch Avenged Sevenfold's song So Far Away. It's a song saying goodbye their drummer after he died. And it makes me feel every time I listen to it or watch the video
I see Alex Hefner and A7X in the same notification, I click. Most of A7X haters seem to be pseudopurist trashheads. This band brought so much to metal and music in general. Oh, and a band that produces 7mn long tracks is not a radio band.
Great song choice! This one really showcases Jimmys skills. :) I'm telling you that whole album is as close to perfection I've heard so far. The whole band was amazing. They worked hard on this album and had fun making it. You can tell.
Bueller117 that live performance is not even that good. They destroy the solos (not in a good way). Great song needs to be heard on their studio version.
Their drummer is The Rev. You reacted to "So Far Away" which is actually a tribute to The Rev when he died in December 2009, the same year this video was released. He was awesome, and will always be the best a7x drummer. FoREVer!
I think you should react to these A7X songs: Fiction Save Me Victim God Hates Us Reminissions Crossroads Blinded In Chains I think you’ll really like them.
For a song basically quoting sections of the Book of Revelations, this is essentially a heavy metal Sunday school lesson. Pretty much my all-time favorite Avenged Sevenfold song, and that's NOT an easy feat.
“That drummer tho”. ..... Rest In Peace foREVer!!! Sleep well Jimmy
😭😭😭😭
HE IS FOREVER MISSED😭😭😭
The Rev \m/
I had the privilege and honor to see him live warped tour 07. He is a legend. Hope to see him up there one day.
foREVer
"WOOOOOH THAT DRUMMER THOOOOOUGH" my heart, my soul... im dying inside, RIP the Rev .-.
hi
Alex you reacted to the wrong version, there is so much more to this song that you missed, this is the cut version
The key change at the end and the repeat of the intro!!!
Christian Dinero and the drum solo
Yeah man, there are SO many parts of this song that makes this song probably their Top 3 songs in their discography, but the radio version cuts it out which is a damn shame. Totally agree.

You should check out "Bow Down" by I Prevail!
That shit is good
Agree
I fuckin hope Alex sees this. That song is so great! He’d lose his mind on it for sure
I’ve been asking for this since it came out 😂
Agree
Avenged Sevenfold -Unholy Confessions (live in the LBC)

no regrets. You'll love it and we will too.
True
If there’s a song from Live in the LBC he must do is Scream 😏😏😏
the whole fucking show is amazing
When reaction channels watch the music video which cuts out the drum solo. :(
Man when you were shocked by the drummer it's crazy. Because its clear that you didn't know that he's dead.
But with Recordings like this I guess he's not. He lives on.
RIP Rev.
He ran into the woods remember that bro..
Dude, you have to react to Save Me and Fiction by Avenged Sevenfold, you are gonna love them

Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage!!!!
You’ll definitely love it from start to finish forsure.

The nostalgia its always amazing to listen to The Revs drumming
Rest in peace Jimmy 'the Rev' Sullivan
We need a city of evil ALBUM reaction
Yeah that way he hears the full versions of this and bat country
Yes. Just yes. This album is awesome
agreed
👌👏🙌🍻
RIP the Rev....definitely one of my favorite drummers
React to Save Me by Avenged Sevenfold. I think you'll like it (:
That song is a masterpiece itself
Yes or Victim
Yogev Eldar yes easily one of my favorite songs
The band says that Buried Alive is like their version of stairway to heaven, but I think save me is a better fit. And goddammit Save Me is phenomenal

Critical Acclaim next pls for A7X :)
Heads up this version cuts out the whole intro and the drum solo. Also the ending is different.
You need to go back to their earier tracks. React to Unholy Confessions or Second Heartbeat by them!
"Turn the other way" Going back even further lols
Why does nobody suggest "Chapter Four" or "Remenissions" from the Waking The Fallen album? Personally my favorite songs from the album are:
1) Remenissions
2) Chapter Four
3) Second Heartbeat
@Ethan Anderson I personally prefer Pt 2 more
cody frommelt Second Heartbeat for sure!
Thank you for posting this on my birthday
Disguise by Motionless in White

IS A MUST.
Disguise is a bloody great song!

One thing I really hate about when people react to the MV of Beast And The Harlot, they dont get to see Jimmy's kickass drum solo :(
React to Save Me by Avenged Sevenfold
Love you mate! I always support your a7x videos cuz it's my favourite band in all ways.
Do unholy confessions

The whole album for me is as close to perfection as you can get. Nothing has come close yet in my opinion.
You should do:
This Means War

Agreed
Why is no one mentioning A Little Piece of Heaven... it’s a damn dream

It's so beautiful, I want the song itself tattooed
Haven't heard this song in years, man. Thanks for the nostalgia!
I freakin love the drumming in this track. As always please react to the awesome maximum the hormone “yoshu fukushu”
The beginning of the chorus there that Alex loves so much, is my alarm in the morning. Great way to wake up
"That drummer tho" -The Rev might he rest in peace
They put on one hell of a show live! Hands down one of the best shows I’ve seen.
Man, I’ve never clicked so fast. One of my favorites from A7X
Roman Sky, Victim, Tonight the World Dies are all sad and beautiful lyrically and musically. All around perfect.
Yes A7X!!!

Also wasteland and fuck love
People:Headbangability is not a word.
Metal heads: Its a verb!!

gotta recommend Almost Easy or Afterlife
That drummer is the legendary, late, great Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. He was the fucking man, and we Avenged fans miss him every day.
Yo you should react to some I Prevail dude! “Bow Down” would be a good choice.
The amount of religion that A7X puts into their videos, especially in their "City of Evil" album, is super interesting.
Hell yeah dude, this entire album is amazing. Alsoooooo check The Ghost Inside - Chrono!!!
Yessss finallyyyy 😩 I’ve been dying for you to react to this amazing song!!
Critical Acclaim (Live in the lbc)-Avenged Sevenfold
Great song choice! This one really showcases Jimmys skills. :) I'm telling you that whole album is as close to perfection I've heard so far. The whole band was amazing. They worked hard on this album and had fun making it. You can tell.
Hell A7X's name is biblical. "Any who kill Cane shall Vengance be done upon him Seven Times."
Majority of their material seems stemmed from scripture
finally this song thanks. you should recommend it to your friends, vin and sori reactions it would be great.
PLEASE REACT TO Watch Over You by Myles Kennedy (Acoustic)!!!
Yes
Omg yes!!!
literally anything else by them, preferably the stage or second heartbeat
You should react to Drugs by Falling in Reverse as well as Motionless in White's new song Disguise. Both are super dope.
that drummer will always be a LEGEND! RIP JIMMY
Finally Avenged sevenfold. You should to react to save me from avenged sevenfold
the part that you talking about, it also make me put this song to my playlist! and you should listen the full version, man, thats lit!
I honestly dont know how anyone can NOT even remotely like A7X. One of the best current metal bands imo
You missed quite a bit with that version, I recommend checking out the full one on your phone own time.
Awesome video as always man!
Metallica - The Four Horsemen (Live 1992 San Diego)
Bueller117 that live performance is not even that good. They destroy the solos (not in a good way).
Great song needs to be heard on their studio version.
I usually hate react channels but Alex really does it well. Very entertaining.
React to halestorm uncomfortable they have an 80s metal sound that I'm sure you will enjoy
Their drummer is The Rev. You reacted to "So Far Away" which is actually a tribute to The Rev when he died in December 2009, the same year this video was released. He was awesome, and will always be the best a7x drummer. FoREVer!
Please react to:

Would be awesome

Smoothest song they ever made. Stuck on repeat

Reminissions
Crossroads
Blinded In Chains
