His name is Synyster Gates and he rides the lightning better than anyone else on Earth. And yes, The Rev's (R.I.P.) powerful drumming is every bit as dynamic as Syn's masterful shredding. Yes, this is metal.
Joe Hubbard Yep. He did. I have the "making of" DVD that came with this album. Rev was AWOL & missing from the studio for a few days, and then he came back with probably their best song they ever wrote.
Synyster Gates is easily my favorite guitarist from the modern era of metal and is in my top 5 all time. He was trained in classical and jazz and you can hear it. Sidewinder does a great job of showcasing his talents.
The drummer (James Owen "the rev" Sullivan) actually wrote the entirety of this song including vocals, guitars, and bass, with the exception of the guitar solo itself. As well as a few other songs
Synister Gates = guitarist M. Shadows = Vocals Zacky Vengeance = Guitarist Johnny Christ = bassist The Rev = Drums These are the guys in the band at the time of this album's release
He was one of the best drummers of all the time. He was actually making his own drums, and there is few sets that he projected by him self. Also, few times as the best drummer of the year. And afterlife is the song that he wrote)
Glad to see some black brothers recognizing good music outside of rap and r&b. Been loving these guys for a while. Gotta hear nightmare. I've brought my 15yr old son on hard Rock.
I already notice through watching your vids that you guys understand this type of music better and not only listening to but also analyzing it. THATS AWESOME!!! Keep up the good work ;)
Mickey Lewis wow that's a great argument. Do you even play guitar? He plays the rhythm parts mostly written by Syn which aren't all that difficult for anyone who has played for some time. The real talent is in the writing process anyways. There are thousands, probably tens of thousands who can shred like Syn but very few who can write stuff that's memorable and as intricate as what he writes.
no... only cheapest mainstream... typical american metal... they try to copy the english metal, but they are so good in it like a cat try to copy a dog...
Seelenwinter 666 Lol you have no idea what you’re talking about. You clearly have only listened to their mainstream songs and none of their under the radar masterpieces such as Save Me and Exist. Metal elitist troll lmao.
@@seelenwinter6662 so you clicked on this reaction video to a band you clearly aren't fond of and saw this comment and decided to comment why you don't like A7X lol right on ?
You guys are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. I'm really glad you decided to branch out and not just stick with one genre. Keep up the unbiased, real reactions!
Synynster Gates is lead guitarist....Avenged Sevenfold will never ever disappoint....Zacky Vengeance is rhythm guitarist an he is amazing also but Synyster Gates is the GOD of the guitar!!! The drummer thats n this video is the writter of this song...RIP Jimmy the Rev, so this is a older song but if u like this one i could go on for days on a7x songs u should check out...nightmare, unholy confessions, the stage, a little piece of heaven (live n the lbc) Bat country...god the list could go on 4 days but Synyster Gates has a few videos on RUclips of him playing jazz, an just a bunch of other genres of music....he is 1 of a kind
@@joshifan29 you're right about alexi but you're also fuckin trippin talkin about dimebag that way. The metal gods bout to strike you with lightning for this heresy
Avenged Sevenfold at the time this was put out are: M. Shadows - Vocals Synyster Gates - Lead Guitars & backing vocals Zacky Vengance - Rhythm Guitars & backing vocals Johnny Christ - Bass guitars and backing vocals Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan - Drums & Backing vocals (R.I.P.)
This band is called Avenged Sevenfold, obviously. They formed in 1999 and the guitarist is named Synester Gates that is playing crazy. The other guitarist is named Zacky Vengeance. The singer is named M. Shadows. The bass player is named Johnny Christ. And the original drummer is named The Rev but he passed away in December of 2009 due to overdosing of drugs. He did a lot for the band and wrote a lot of songs for them. I love this band and everything that they do, I hope that you guys will react way more to them and you won't be disappointed!!!
He died due complication for taking medicine and alcohol at same time. He had heartproblems which would have killed him early and there is speculation that he started having pain for it and wanted to go while still being able to live life like he wanted. He never overdosed from drugs.
you literally mentioned two drugs in your explanations -those being alcohol and 'medication'. a complication from mixing various drugs together is called a fucking overdose
I'm still a fan but I loved the early shit , I like the screams and raw breakdowns on the early albums. Still great stuff though and the guitar work has just always been phenomenal
+Aaron Mcconkey, Razer* and that's your opinion. I've used the 2010 Razer Naga and its still just as great to me as it was the first day I opened it. But feel free to use another brand. Idc.
i'd say that they should probably listen to some of there other stuff such as "hail to the king"/"welcome to the family"/"nightmare" before they get to that level of awesomeness
Sent here by Papa Gates (Brian Haner) Facebook, your video made him smile! He is A7X's lead guitarists dad and he has played on most of Avenged Sevenfolds records. His facebbook is @ brianhanercomedy Awesome video guys, you got a new sub from Sweden!
Lot's of people don't seem to realize that Avenged Sevenfold is more or less "Zacky's band." He and Shadows are the two guys who are the backbone so to speak of A7X. They were there from day 1. Which isn't to discredit anyone, but they've said it before. They had to beg and plead Syn to join the band, and Johnny was always "the kid" of the band because he's quite a bit younger. So yea, Zacky is a major part of A7X. Without question.
Its sad Zacky gets no love. Yeah hes the rythem and not lead but without a good supporting sound the lead means nothing. Yes Zacky writes easy-to-play parts but its difficult to write something that is noticable but doesn't intrude on the spotlight of others. Everyone in this band has a quintessential role to play and they all do it very well.
What I like about these guys is that even though they seem like they aren't really too familiar with metal and the different genres of metal, instead of judging and being harsh about metal they are very open and accepting of metal. This allows for their reactions to be more genuine and neither forced nor judgemental. I really like this stuff, keep it up.
+Lost In Vegas hey guys also try out A Little Piece of Heaven, Bat Country or Unholy Confessions. Three different albums, three different sounds, but just one band.
his name is Synyster Gates. he joined in 2002 I believe they had a previous guitarist that was with them from 99 to 2002. unfortunately their drummer who is arguably one of the top three drummers in heavy metal passed away a few years ago
I'm so glad y'all aren't the general music reaction channels that react to the same popular boring artists. So thank you for that. I log on and might see Logic or Kendrick or Hopsin or Metallica and now even Avenged Sevenfold. Thank you for that.
RIP The Rev. While I think Brooks Wackerman is the better drummer, The Rev's abilities as a background singer were really underrated and the bridge of this song is a great example of that talent.
I think that's a fair enough assessment. Their style has evolved quite a lot since then, so much so that I'd say The Stage is borderline progressive metal. Personally, that fits my tastes really well but I can understand others liking their earlier sound. Regardless of style, though, the Rev was still a great drummer and all around musician.
I don't mean to be some form of music elitist but the bands drumming and lyrics have fallen hard since the Rev's passing. Avenged Sevenfold is still my all time favorite metal band, as they were my cherry poppers into the rock/metal scene but back when it was the Rev doing his thing, the drums were intricate and wild in the same breath. I wish the Vegas guys'd do a little bit more on A7X, even if one of two more songs. Afterlife isn't even close to pique performance!
Been watching you guys for a minute and you guys are the realest reactors on youtube ! I am going to be working on a banner and avatar for you guys because I would love to make some work because you guys are honestly the hardest working and best reacting channel on youtube ! I hope you guys see this comment and to everybody else on the channel that sees this, I hope that you know, that you matter and the world needs people like you in it ! It wouldn't be complete, if anybody here is ever going through anything, leave a comment or send me a message on any of my social media and I will give you motivation or be there for anybody in need. And remember that tomorrow will be a better day, live your life because you are priceless and you're worth so much. love you all guys !
Lost In Vegas no problem I appreciate you guys giving it a read ! I just sent you a RUclips banner and avatar to use it would be awesome if you could give me a shout or something in your next video if not and you do use it I appreciate you guys using it I u hope you guys like it ! I worked hours on it. Big fan keep up the great work !
I d say they re the best react channel on youtube but if you re talking metal focused react chanel theres the dude from "become the knight" who knows quite a bit about the subject ... he usualy reacts to reaction videos tho and isnt just about reactions so yea these guys are good.
Lost In Vegas Hey guys, new subscriber, love what you're doing. Since you loved this tune, please check out their live version from their DVD. Will definitely line up with a lot of your appreciation for the rock you have been recently digesting. Keep it up! ruclips.net/video/B-qkJw8q-uA/видео.html
The melody in their music is something that is so distinct in the metal scene, its the reason they're one of the few metal bands I still enjoy after hearing it so many times. Most metal to me I'll get down with for a few months maybe, but it gets old and monotonous. These guys know how to write some great melodies though that keep you hooked, and they still bring the heat with some insane shredding across all the instruments and vocals.
What I love most about avenged sevenfold is their songs always add in some different instruments. Its not always just rock. They've had opera inspired songs, songs with orchestra, piano, everything.
As I've said before, try out The Stage, Bat Country, M.I.A, Nightmare, Save Me, Coming Home and so many more. The entire band is talented The lead guitarist is Synyster Gates and the drummers name is The Rev although he passed a few years back
I was thinking this. Like Gates is killing it but the drums are absolutely MINT. They perfect emphasize everything the guitarist does and just set the overall tone..
If you like good guitar work and solos listen to: Judas Priest - Painkiller Megadeth - Tornado of souls In the metal community these songs are know for there solos. And also some even call them one of the best solos in metal.
Almost Easy - Avenged Sevenfold. The lyrics for that song are very unique. The singer takes the role of a person in your life that wants you to forgive them for hurting you but its not that easy.
I Don't Even Know Saw them live while they were recording Hail To The King, they played the title track for the first time when I was there! it was fucking rad.
+Richard Palermo that's awesome, man! But Hail to the King isn't really my favorite album nor is it my favorite song off the album. I think my favorite album is City of Evil and my favorite song on that album is Trashed and Scattered. That's my recommendation if you haven't heard it lol. Yeah anyway it's sick that you got to see them!
Please keep in mind Dave Mustain of Megadeth did go through injuries on the arm And could not play, but started producing bands, avenge sevenfold was one of those bands
It has almost been a year since this reaction. How have you not done another Avenged Sevenfold song yet? Look at how happy you two are watching this, you owe it to yourself. Do a poll, get the song, do the reaction. Thank you and you're welcome.
Avenged Sevenfold absolutely kills it in this song! The beginning just hits u over the head and then when get to Syn’s blazing guitar solo at the end, your mind is just blown! He is definitely one of the greatest guitarists ever!
The moment the start praising Synyster Gates... And I'm like wait till you get to the solo 😏
Synyster Gates is a legend... one of the most underrated guitarists imo
Yeah...we are Synyster Gates army
Amin Anvari he's the closest we've ever gotten to David Gilmour in any recent era. He's a total beast on the strings.
Hahahaha I was thinking the same thing.. as soon as they tripped over the intro I was like, wait for it.. haha
I had this exact thought!!
“His fingers are bleeding”
“Nah fam, they are getting warmed up.”
Lol
Hell ya
That’s what I’m saying! You ain’t heard nothing yet!
His name is Synyster Gates and he rides the lightning better than anyone else on Earth. And yes, The Rev's (R.I.P.) powerful drumming is every bit as dynamic as Syn's masterful shredding. Yes, this is metal.
Britton Thompson rev wrote that whole song (including the instruments)
Joe Hubbard Yep. He did. I have the "making of" DVD that came with this album. Rev was AWOL & missing from the studio for a few days, and then he came back with probably their best song they ever wrote.
You are correct sir... (i have the dvd as well)
A7X is one of the the best bands live along with Korn at least who I've seen live
Have seen korn, cant say A7X. but Godsmack best ive seen.
There so focused on guitar but don’t realize how good the drums are
I thought THE SAME THING!😂😂 Those drums are prolific!
the rev
Mini Keanu Reeves typical drummer thing to say 😂
Mini Keanu Reeves thats how it usually goes, drums will almost always be overseen.
Alana Vernik they did talk about how the drums were good. But we still love the rev even though he is not here to play. :( R.I.P the rev
"This is nu-metal?" "Nah it came out a while ago" I lowkey died lol
Christian Sagredo its not nu metal a7x never has never been nu metal
royalty_risin538 I’m aware of this I was quoting a pretty funny interaction they had lol
The joke was that they think NU-Metal is New Metal, as in recent.
Same 😂
I feel these guys would be useful during the production of any kind of album
João Pereira unlike most react channels they actually have a passion for the music their listening to
MrFatbad Haha thay'd be awesome. "Now THAT shit was fire!"
R.I.P. Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan
He aint even dead smh hes in the forest training to be the knife master
I seen a7x right before Rev died. I'm not trying to act like he was my friend or shit but I love him and the band is less with out him.
rip indeed, i feel avenged sevenfold have lost something in the rev, even if he was replaced by brooks wackerman, it's just not the same
You mean James" the Rev " Sullivan
Devin Newsom They called him Jimmy but his name is James
Synyster Gates is easily my favorite guitarist from the modern era of metal and is in my top 5 all time. He was trained in classical and jazz and you can hear it. Sidewinder does a great job of showcasing his talents.
💯
...so does the entirety of The Stage...the album not the song
Not nearly enough love for sidewinder
Definitely up there top 3 of all time for myself with Angus young and Slash.
You have commited a crime, never stop in the middle of a solo.
And never cut the rev's vocals
@@ericrodrigues9550 the disappointment when I got there...
"Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence, your stolen goods are now forfeit"
yep
You’ve committed a crime against Skyrim and her people, what say you in your defense?
The drummer (James Owen "the rev" Sullivan) actually wrote the entirety of this song including vocals, guitars, and bass, with the exception of the guitar solo itself. As well as a few other songs
And then I see Matt playing guitar too and I'm like he's not half bad 😉
Imagine what he could have done if he was still alive, instead of peaking at this
...and then he died two years later :(
Synister Gates = guitarist
M. Shadows = Vocals
Zacky Vengeance = Guitarist
Johnny Christ = bassist
The Rev = Drums
These are the guys in the band at the time of this album's release
RusticBarbarian Gaming RIP rev
Still bums me out that he died so young. He was incredible to watch live.
To be specific Gates is lead and Zacky is lead
William Sansevere I'll forever be sad I never saw Rev live. First saw the band live the year after..
The guitarist is awesome, but that drummer is also, equally crushing it
did their drummer pass away?
@@Strat1084 yeah
ALSO SINCE YOU MENTIONED HOW CRAZY THE DRUMS WERE, YEAH JIMMY "THE REV" SULLIVAN WAS ONE OF THE BEST! May he rest in peace FoREVer
Ryan H. He was truly one of the most talented. He can scream, play drums, and write songs like no one else.
He was one of the best drummers of all the time. He was actually making his own drums, and there is few sets that he projected by him self. Also, few times as the best drummer of the year. And afterlife is the song that he wrote)
He wrote the song "Afterlife" when he realised his liver was failing and he only had a few years left
He can't rest in peace forever, remember he will come back as the knife master
One day...
*tries not to cry*
*cries a lot*
He died of over dose rip john Sullivan he will be missed
SYNYSTER FUCKING GATES
Synyster Gates and Zaky
synyster gates real name is Brian Elwin Haner, Jr.
Synyster Gates dimebag is better
Synyster Gates is alive.
Zacky Vengeance as well
Glad to see some black brothers recognizing good music outside of rap and r&b. Been loving these guys for a while. Gotta hear nightmare. I've brought my 15yr old son on hard Rock.
A Slack Jr YES! keep it running through the generations!
I karaoke nightmare on the regular!
I agree, they gotta review nightmare and god damn. Both awesome songs by them two of my favorites
A Slack
"Blinded in Chains" is one of the most epic Avenged Sevenfold songs, especially for reaction.
I already notice through watching your vids that you guys understand this type of music better and not only listening to but also analyzing it. THATS AWESOME!!! Keep up the good work ;)
Lead Guitarist is Synyster Gates
yep... he can shred some frets, that is for sure... :)
Synyster Gates is one of the most talented modern guitarists we have. I've been enjoying these videos. Keep up the good work.
Yeah dude, him and Misha Mansoor (Periphery) are fucking amazing
dont forget about zacky vengence
Mickey Lewis Zacky isn't all that special
Tuukka you obviously are ignorant so I won't be replying after this
Mickey Lewis wow that's a great argument. Do you even play guitar? He plays the rhythm parts mostly written by Syn which aren't all that difficult for anyone who has played for some time. The real talent is in the writing process anyways. There are thousands, probably tens of thousands who can shred like Syn but very few who can write stuff that's memorable and as intricate as what he writes.
I love his face when the guitar starts😂 that's the only reaction you can have to A7X
no... only cheapest mainstream... typical american metal... they try to copy the english metal, but they are so good in it like a cat try to copy a dog...
@@seelenwinter6662 It's trying to communicate with us.

Avenged Sevenfold - A Little Piece of Heaven
Kelly O'Connell I think you're trying to scar some people 😂😂😂 I love that song but Idk if ppl are still ready for the song after all these years
My absolute favorite A7X song
Yeah I love it and it would be an interesting(possibly funny) reaction, but it is a FUCKED UP song lol
I think the live version would be interesting.
UP
Synynster Gates is lead guitarist....Avenged Sevenfold will never ever disappoint....Zacky Vengeance is rhythm guitarist an he is amazing also but Synyster Gates is the GOD of the guitar!!!

Exactly!
No Dimebag darrel is the GOD of guitar
@@predatorhunter3169 Yeah. That title is forever reserved.
Alexi Laiho is the God of guitar. PERIOD. Gates top 3 for sure though. Dimebag can't touch them.

I haven't listened to avenged sevenfold in a while and I forgot how fucking rad the guitar solo is
Biological Bitch yes. Yes it is
Biological Bitch it's really not though
Synyster gates is the lead guitarist
JMOTO23 aka Brian Haner
Suicideisbadass nobody in a7x is named Chad Hernandez
Everybody knows him as Synyster Gates. Thats why i said that
Okay know it all
it's brian not hernandez
Iron Maiden - Hallowed be thy name is honestly one of the best metal songs, you should react to it
Timo Thijssen I agree
DoubleAisCharged +1
I would love to see them reacting to some new Maiden songs too.
Some Maiden and some Goth Metal would be good to see. I wanna see them try some Cradle of Filth.
They should REALLY react to that song, or any iron maiden song, they are metal gods! hope they do it some day
Shepherd of Fire, Hail to the King, Beast and the Harlot, Bat Country, Coming Home, Buried Alive. These will not disappoint! Love watching you guys!
For a second I thought made your comment. So I completely agree with your statement
Lateralus by Tool. Watch the video which explains how Fibonacci is used in it.
D Hill 13
Agreed! Please react to lateralus guys!
that video is awful and extremely distracting.
Kabindra Shrestha yes a definite
Agreed, Lateralus, please
The revs drumming tho 😀
yeah, havent been the same without him, he was a real driving force
You're right. He's top in my book.
And vocals!
There new drummer doesn't even "up the tempo" on unholy confessions...bs put me on I swear I'll make jimmy smile
foREVer
Heyy! I didn't know you did metal stuff! Good shit, dudes!
I love how open minded you two are. You take every genre and find something positive in it. Thank you. Some people don’t accept this music.
Avenged Sevenfold at the time this was put out are:
M. Shadows - Vocals
Synyster Gates - Lead Guitars & backing vocals
Zacky Vengance - Rhythm Guitars & backing vocals
Johnny Christ - Bass guitars and backing vocals
Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan - Drums & Backing vocals (R.I.P.)
I think you meant Johnny Christ - Leader
Scared OfClocks Its Johnny Christ ft. Avenged Sevenfold
This band is called Avenged Sevenfold, obviously. They formed in 1999 and the guitarist is named Synester Gates that is playing crazy. The other guitarist is named Zacky Vengeance. The singer is named M. Shadows. The bass player is named Johnny Christ. And the original drummer is named The Rev but he passed away in December of 2009 due to overdosing of drugs. He did a lot for the band and wrote a lot of songs for them. I love this band and everything that they do, I hope that you guys will react way more to them and you won't be disappointed!!!

He died due complication for taking medicine and alcohol at same time. He had heartproblems which would have killed him early and there is speculation that he started having pain for it and wanted to go while still being able to live life like he wanted. He never overdosed from drugs.

Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage
Nominated at grammy ;)
i'd say that they should probably listen to some of there other stuff such as "hail to the king"/"welcome to the family"/"nightmare" before they get to that level of awesomeness
I love how they gave a big fuck you to the grammy's and didn't go
Well, the Grammys are lame cuz they weren't gonna televise it.... Their loss not A7X's.
Avenged Sevenfold - a little piece of heaven
Magic Is The Name Upvote this holy shit this is a good song that features both the drummer (at the time) and the singer...
omg, PLEASE do A Little Piece of Heaven!!

Hiya guys, love the videos man they awesome, n why not try parkway dive it's hard to speak without a touge or atreyu Oxs and ohs

I'm waiting for them to do parkway. I admit it's likely way heavier than their tastes. but I still want to see that reaction
Parkwaydrive - Swing. Please
Can we give Zacky some credit?
No
Lot's of people don't seem to realize that Avenged Sevenfold is more or less "Zacky's band." He and Shadows are the two guys who are the backbone so to speak of A7X. They were there from day 1. Which isn't to discredit anyone, but they've said it before. They had to beg and plead Syn to join the band, and Johnny was always "the kid" of the band because he's quite a bit younger.

Prettyneatperson for what? His rhythm part is hella easy
Its sad Zacky gets no love. Yeah hes the rythem and not lead but without a good supporting sound the lead means nothing. Yes Zacky writes easy-to-play parts but its difficult to write something that is noticable but doesn't intrude on the spotlight of others. Everyone in this band has a quintessential role to play and they all do it very well.
and rev rip
I think that y'all should check out "Save Me" from Avenged Sevenfold. I think that'll be a much better spread of their talent as a band. Check it out
One of my all time favorites
Their best, with mike portnoy skill???
Unholy Confession is good too
That song is so hard to play dude
Synyster Gates is the lead guitarist but shares the lead a lot of the time with Zacky Vengeance.
What I like about these guys is that even though they seem like they aren't really too familiar with metal and the different genres of metal, instead of judging and being harsh about metal they are very open and accepting of metal. This allows for their reactions to be more genuine and neither forced nor judgemental. I really like this stuff, keep it up.
Thank you!
As a drummer I feel bad Rev ain't getting enough praise in this.....but I mean Synyster was killing it lol
MrDeadlyBootz yeah fr
Singing in Avenged Sevenfold- I Wont See You Tonight Pt 1 will blow you guys away! You need some early Avenged in your lives!!!
Eric Carlson
You can't listen to part 1 without part 2
or Eternal Life
Who doesn't? Shit..
Yeah but not TOO early. I love all their albums but wouldn't recommend the first one
More avenged sevenfold please, my favorites are almost easy and not ready to die. Good video
Been an A7X fan for over a decade, never understood the love for Almost Easy. I don't "hate" any A7X songs, but that is one of my least favorites.
m0t0rcade idk I just love the drums in that song, in combination with syn it's amazing.
m0t0rcade same here dude...
m0t0rcade Your opinion on Acid Rain from the Hail to the King album? Just curious.
Bruh they need to watch the music video or "a little piece of heaven"
Reviewing Avenged Sevenfold just made you one of my favourite channels. Keep up the great content!
Thanks my man!
A7X- Unholy Confessions
The lead guitarist is Synister Gates
Avenged Sevenfold NIGHTMARE please
JibM3Please yess
Also "hail to the king"

Why? The song suck.
Nightmare is a sick song I love that song.my mom and dad went to a avenged sevenfold concert before I was born. Lucky.

@@Adeon55 Yeah, super happy for the boys!
never would have thought you guys would react to this type of music lol, but if you like Avenged Sevenfold try Nightmare next time.
Gotta keep y'all guessing! lol. Thanks for tuning in Pedro!
+Lost In Vegas hey guys also try out A Little Piece of Heaven, Bat Country or Unholy Confessions. Three different albums, three different sounds, but just one band.
And don't forget "Hail To the King"!!! It's goddamn awesome! B)
I really want to see them react to "A Little Piece of Heaven" because that would be pure entertainment.
Pedro Reynoso Nightmare? How original.
his name is Synyster Gates. he joined in 2002 I believe they had a previous guitarist that was with them from 99 to 2002. unfortunately their drummer who is arguably one of the top three drummers in heavy metal passed away a few years ago
Ok, cool. Thanks for the info! R.I.P to the drummer (he killed it as well).
Chris Clickner I love him man but he definetly not in the top 3 of metal drummers...lezzzz B honest
Dan Osborne maybe so
Great drummer. No disrespect but ya, not top 3. Craziest drummers I've seen are mostly in technical death metal or just death metal in general
Chris Clickner their newest drummer really channels the rev.
Literally every song is like that so dynamic and beautiful
I'm so glad y'all aren't the general music reaction channels that react to the same popular boring artists. So thank you for that. I log on and might see Logic or Kendrick or Hopsin or Metallica and now even Avenged Sevenfold. Thank you for that.
We're just having fun vibing to music man. Thanks for watching!
the reason im sub to this channel.
RIP The Rev.
While I think Brooks Wackerman is the better drummer, The Rev's abilities as a background singer were really underrated and the bridge of this song is a great example of that talent.
andyhoov imma big fan of A7X, but i think A7X was more energetic back when the rev was alive.
I think that's a fair enough assessment. Their style has evolved quite a lot since then, so much so that I'd say The Stage is borderline progressive metal. Personally, that fits my tastes really well but I can understand others liking their earlier sound. Regardless of style, though, the Rev was still a great drummer and all around musician.
He was also an amazing song writer. Look into how many songs he WROTE on Nightmare
I don't mean to be some form of music elitist but the bands drumming and lyrics have fallen hard since the Rev's passing. Avenged Sevenfold is still my all time favorite metal band, as they were my cherry poppers into the rock/metal scene but back when it was the Rev doing his thing, the drums were intricate and wild in the same breath. I wish the Vegas guys'd do a little bit more on A7X, even if one of two more songs. Afterlife isn't even close to pique performance!
Jimmy’s writing and knowing exactly when to add double bass to a song just make him the best in my eyes
react to more avenged sevelfold like if you agree
Eternal rest
sounding the 7th the whole album
Nice try satan
Hail to the king
Lead guitarrist in Avenged Sevenfold has the stage name Synyster Gates, but his real name is Brian Haner, Jr.
Dont forget his middle name, Elwin
His dad played with Frank Zappa man 😁

Keep the metal coming. Love your analysis.
SYNYSTER GATES!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
He's so talented, lol subbed. Thank you.
Do more of the avenged sevenfold I recommend Bat Country
Icemaster 54 I'm singing that song in my band
I’ve been working on a band it’s still in progress
Ashley W I’m working on my back
Icemaster 54 thats awesome!
Ashley W thanks you!!!!
Ya’ll straight wizards. I had zero time for metal until today. #expandingminds
i love how honest and open minded you guys are like you’re not biased at all. and it’s so great love you guys
Critical Acclaim is a MUST!
Crzzy Definitely
Agreed. So cool
The melody in their music is something that is so distinct in the metal scene, its the reason they're one of the few metal bands I still enjoy after hearing it so many times. Most metal to me I'll get down with for a few months maybe, but it gets old and monotonous. These guys know how to write some great melodies though that keep you hooked, and they still bring the heat with some insane shredding across all the instruments and vocals.
"I think this is nu metal"
"Yeah but I think it came out a while ago"
Love it😂😂 awesome channel btw!!
They're like he's amazing even before the solo 😂😂😂
Trivium- pull harder on the strings of your martyr
Hell yeah, that's a nice one
A little piece of heaven
Bibek Lamichhane that would be great to see lol
Please please please react to avenged sevenfold "save me "
And his name is synster gates
Extatik synyster*
Yesss
What I love most about avenged sevenfold is their songs always add in some different instruments. Its not always just rock. They've had opera inspired songs, songs with orchestra, piano, everything.
Synaster Gates
And Zacky or Zachy Vengeance.
Y’all don’t know how to fucking spell
Eh, it's the internet we're allowed to be idiots.
And because it's the internet you know people are gonna give you shit about it. hahahaha!
Garrett Yelton he's ok
As I've said before, try out The Stage, Bat Country, M.I.A, Nightmare, Save Me, Coming Home and so many more. The entire band is talented The lead guitarist is Synyster Gates and the drummers name is The Rev although he passed a few years back
Thomas Graham save me is their best song imo
Faces were melted this day.
Trashed and scattered is an absolute amazing song that syn shreds through
Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare
Dude Syn is legendary and the combo between him and zachy v is the best out there
You should react to the Stage by Avenged, it just got nominated for a Grammy.
PS. the father of the lead guitarist shared this video a while back!
The Drummer (Rev) owns this though.... he leads the riffage, the changes, the groove, everything...
I was thinking this. Like Gates is killing it but the drums are absolutely MINT. They perfect emphasize everything the guitarist does and just set the overall tone..
@@dylanholman3 yeah setting the tempo is pretty much all the drummers job
Slipknot - Duality
Juan. Slipknot. Psychosocial??
myballs itch slipknot- before I forget??
The Laughing crow Spit it out?
Metabolic or Disasterpiece
Juan yes.
If you like good guitar work and solos listen to:
Judas Priest - Painkiller
Megadeth - Tornado of souls
In the metal community these songs are know for there solos. And also some even call them one of the best solos in metal.
Johannes Hendricus Nino Mittemeijer tornado of souls 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Pantera- Floods greatest metal solo ever
\m/ yup
The sleep aswell, much emotion in those solos
Try Ram it Down by Judas Priest. Even better than painkiller
5:40 when the solo literally melts your face!
Lol
Almost Easy - Avenged Sevenfold. The lyrics for that song are very unique. The singer takes the role of a person in your life that wants you to forgive them for hurting you but its not that easy.
Yooooo react to Brompton Cocktail by Avenged Sevenfold next
you guys are good. cary on please...Lost In Vegas
There are two guitarists! Synister Gates and Zacky Vengeance! Hope this helps :)
Synister** you got it for the most part lol
I Don't Even Know oh my god I didn't even realize I did mispell it lmao, thanks!
It's just my job as your average Grammar Nazi. Glad to see another A7x fan. You've got good taste in music.
I Don't Even Know Saw them live while they were recording Hail To The King, they played the title track for the first time when I was there! it was fucking rad.
+Richard Palermo that's awesome, man! But Hail to the King isn't really my favorite album nor is it my favorite song off the album. I think my favorite album is City of Evil and my favorite song on that album is Trashed and Scattered. That's my recommendation if you haven't heard it lol.
Yeah anyway it's sick that you got to see them!
please react to Buried Alive by Avenged Sevenfold!! its considered their "stairway to heaven" very intricate and great transitions
Please keep in mind Dave Mustain of Megadeth did go through injuries on the arm And could not play, but started producing bands, avenge sevenfold was one of those bands
Synaster Gates is one big reason I started playing guitar, now im in a band. thank you A7X!
Nightmare would be dope
It would be good
They did it bro
They already did it
It has almost been a year since this reaction. How have you not done another Avenged Sevenfold song yet? Look at how happy you two are watching this, you owe it to yourself.
Do a poll, get the song, do the reaction.
Thank you and you're welcome.
PARKWAY DRIVE PLEASE
The time changes in this song are SICK! I love you guys.
TALENT IS TALENT, BABY!
Avenged Sevenfold absolutely kills it in this song! The beginning just hits u over the head and then when get to Syn’s blazing guitar solo at the end, your mind is just blown! He is definitely one of the greatest guitarists ever!
