When I attended their concert I was astonished by how much they sound like their album, it's pretty rare anymore especially with all the electronic additions people pump in now days. These guys are the real deal.
I did 2 tours, My first in Iraq, and the other in Afghanistan. Before, my father who was a Vietnam Vet never really talked about what he went through over there, that is until I came home from my first tour. It's funny how war can bring a father and son closer together. He was a classic rock kinda guy but I got him into A7X. He loved this song especially. He passed away, and now I'm having a beer, blasting this, and remembering him. Semper Fi
When you have been an old Metallica, GNR, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Aerosmith fan, and your 14 year old son introduces you to this band... priceless. To my credit i introduced him to heavy metal.
Hell yeah dude, I was introduced to this band by my friend back in 2017 It also the first band metal/Rock band i listened to and brought me to the genre

Synyster Gates is fucking incredible with his guitar. That drummer, who sadly replaced their drummer.....is fucking rad dude. He sheds, when we lose the one's we love....life and killer music continues. RIP Rev, you'd be super proud of your friends ❤
I've tried to go to every A7X concert around here and staying after the show to meet them and fortunately for me, I've met them a few times. The most down to earth guys ever! I love Syn! He was the reason why I started listening to A7X. Coming to and watching this in 2022 is nostalgic!
The music as a whole is the main reason I started listening to them, but I’m always on the edge of my seat for his guitar solos. He’s absolutely amazing.
You people need to calm the fuck down. A7X isn't copying them, they are paying tribute to them. I personally like both Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold.
***** Kirk: “Yeah. When it comes to influences and inspiration and anything else, I can’t really say anything, because I’ll admit, there’s been fuckin’ riffs I’ve heard and I was like ‘Hmm, I gotta get me a riff like that’ or I’ll hear guitar solos and I’m like ‘Oh, I’m gonna steal that lick and put it in this guitar solo and I hope no one notices.’ It happens a lot more with.. musicians do it a lot more, I think, than what the public is aware of and it’s when musicians call out other musicians on it, it kind of makes me uncomfortable. I mean, music has a long-standing tradition of recycling itself and if you look at certain genres like the blues it’s the three fucking same fucking notes in every fucking song. If you listen to rap music, it’s the same beat.
So fucking powerful song! Look at all those people, this is a true brotherhood, true family! Thre's no such other feeling like beinh inside the crowd, surrounded by people who feel the same, watcing your idols - the people who play your inner sound and speak your mind out!
Fell in love with this song the first time I heard it back in 2017. Avenged Sevenfold always have and always will kick ass and take names in the metal community. Horns up 🤘🤘🤘🤘.
When I'm hearing this people singing, I feel a great emotion, world it's mine, when we scream together we are the great force of music which unit us. THIS MEANS WAAAAARRRR...
If your a true Avenged or Metallica fan you'll know that Metallica was a big inspiration on Avenged, and you'll also know that they are all really good friends. They do alot of touring together. When Metallica did a tour in 2018 with Avenged and Volbeat they specifically asked Avenged to do the tour with them.
Never understood why people are bashing Sevenfold because of this song. Y'all need to understand they asked to Metallica if it's cool doin this song and Metallica agreed ! Being similar to one of the best hit of Metallica makes this song even better
In my opinion Avenged Sevenfold is the perfect mixture of oldschool and "new" metal sound. If I make a band one day, I will play and write music like this, at least I will try!
@@artemisclydesunnypaddy3134 I actually did! Started taking guitar seriously, got lessons and founded a band like 1.5 years ago. We just released our first Material and will definitely have our first gigs this year. And I'd say that we actually did what I said here

2024. This song and hail to the king is fucking masterpiece. Greetings from Poland. I hope that one day I will be able to come to their concert, I dream about it.
This music video was absolutely epic, seeing so many people gathered around, enjoying the music. Nothing like it. On another note, this song is amazing! I love the HTTK album and this masterpiece is no exception!
Thats strange. Im pretty sure they only said it once. Ill have go go back and listen though. We should all go back. Listen to this all unfold. Then come back and make a statement
Really don't care If It sounds like sad but true or not, this song is fux*@$! good!

What are you two so mad about? I didn't claim to invent anything. I noticed the blatant similarities between the two songs, like many others apparently did. I love A7X as much as the next guy - have since their Warped Tour days - but they keep putting out these Metallica lite songs that do disservice to their talent as a band. Maybe you should be mad at them, not me.
Im i dont dislike them, i dislike their fanboys who think they are metalheads are shit to listening to this pop band. Maybe you are not one of them, but who knows..
Stadium Rock at it's finest and most sincere... God Bless the drummer, Thank God for Soldiers. The Rev. Lives on, and I just keep on marching. Praise The Lord!
+andrei260902 being that Metallica is one of their major influences, I'm pretty sure the song was more of a tribute. People that claim they're ripping them off are being hypocritical fuckheads. If any other major band did this, no one would care.
Why are people hating on the guys? This album is to all the bands that helped them come up with their songs. Mostly riffs. Now if y'all could quit hating because it sounds like sad but true I'd thank you
Coming from someone who has played the intro riff, and the main riff heard throughout Sad But True, this doesn't even sound like Sad But True to me, honestly. Yes it is similar, but at the same time, completely different. Anyone who feels that "Because its similar, they stole from Metallica!" has down syndrome.
i don't get it, all these comments like "they have copied sad but true" bla bla It sounds like metallica but its not copied. The whole album was for their idols like metallica and maiden. They said it in an interview. Hail to the King (Metallica, Maiden, ..)
Avenged Sevenfold opened for Metallica in the Orgullo, Pasión y Gloria Mexico concert in 2008 but it was actually their worst concert people started yelling to them emos 🙄
Funny thing is,the entire album of Hail to the king is Avenge Sevenfold taking their influences (like Metallica and Slayer and other bands) and adapting their styles as a kind of homage. So the comparisons are kind of on purpose
DAMN!!! I love this song! I love A7X! This is one of those songs where you can really see and feel how much they love what they do!!!! Can't get enough!!! Watching Syn play gives me chills and I love that snarky little smile he comes up with!
Here's the lyrics for anyone who's looking: Hey (Hey) I'm your life I'm the one who takes you there Hey (Hey) I'm your life I'm the one who cares They (they) They betray I'm your only true friend now They (they) They'll betray I'm forever there I'm your dream make me real I'm your eyes when you must steal I'm your pain when you can't feel Sad but true I'm your dream, mind astray I'm your eyes while you're away I'm your pain while you repay You know it's sad but true Sad but trowah!
This song is great for getting rid of stress. Just think of all the lives your band has saved. Your songs teach the truth. Like a Bible. The preacher is in a very good place. Don't worry about him . He's watching over you.

Look at this. Just look at it. This is why Avenged Sevenfold & heavy metal fans are the best fans in the world! You'll never see pop stars or rappers playing to crowds this large with so many ferociously passionate fans. This type of dynamic between a band and it's fans is unique to rock/metal, and it goes beyond the typical relationship modern performers have with their listeners. Ours is a cathartic, borderline religious endeavor we get to experience with our genre. It's as if this is our Mecca, and we must all make a pilgrimage to it at least once in our lifetimes in order to consummate our devotion to the artform. The masses go to Kanye West or Katy Perry concerts to simply be entertained for the evening. Not metal fans. Not A7X fans. No, we go to an Avenged show to bare our souls and bask in the sonic euphoria that can only come when a rock band & it's fans give it everything they've got by pouring every fiber of their being out onto the stages, floors, and balconies of arenas every night all around the world. There's simply nothing else like hard rock & metal in music. Rock/Metal music will always have an inherent intangible quality to give it an edge over all the other music genres. That intangible quality being bands who create all of their own music themselves, and imbue their music with high levels of emotion and soulfulness at every step along the way. These guys have to translate through their instruments the stream of consciousness sounds only they can hear in their heads when creating new music. No hired studio musicians to play it for them first. No lyrics being purchased from songwriters. No high tech studio wizardry like sampling, computers, or sound effects being mixed together to manufacture the next killer bass line that the industry can market to adverisers and cash in on. No, rock & metal music is the best music because it's the only genre where a bunch of otherwise ordinary people, when taken as singular individuals, can come together to create something remarkably extraordinary as a combined group. Even better is the fact that this is only achieved through relentless practice, patience, hard work, and sheer determination. Pop and rap can win the popularity contest for all we care. Because us rock & metal fans will always have the edge over those audiences because only we get to experience the unique emotional and spiritual fulfillment that only rock & metal music offers to it's audiences. Those poor, ignorant bastards.....
I really don't think this type of fan base is uncommon...sorry to be a Debby downer, but there are plenty of passionate, almost religiously passionate, fan bases for pop artist, rock artist, etc.
i would pay any amount of money, to see James Hetfield's face when he heard this song for the first time on the backstage while A7X is opening for Metallica
They made songs to sound like bands they grew up liking. If you jack asses knew anything about Avenged you would know this. Metallica actually likes the song and they are friends with Avenged Sevenfold. Avenged Sevenfold has even said that these songs were done for bands that were their inspiration. Nobody copied anyone. Through out the history of rock every band has done songs that sound similar to others. You can't copy right a riff, if so there would be no music. every song takes something from other music. I grew up on Metallica, the good kick ass Metallica and ill take Avenged over them any day music wise and personal. They are down to earth. They lost a member and still 10 years later his voice echos through their concerts. They never forget and the fans dont either. Thats a true band that dont let their member get forgotten. foREVer.
I think every musician has ripped off at least one song in their career. I know i sure have. Shows a bit of appreciation to their inspirations. Every other song they've written is much more original. Still got mad respect for them! \m/
Essa banda é simplesmente Arrasadora...qdo eu vi pela primeira vez , cresceu uma onda de euforia ,pois até então pra mim , já tinha passado a época das grandes bandas de rock ... Na minha opinião a época , foi de 60 a 80 , daí por diante não apareceu ninguém com tamanho Veia artística a externar letras de rock ,MÚSICA DE ROCK END ROLL , AMO ❤🎧🎶🎵🎸🤘
Imagine being a guitarist and the crowd singing along with your riffs!
🔥🔥
Even along the solo!
i imagined it now im scared
You mean Hetfliets riff
You mean like with Iron Maiden? 😁 Always loved that 😊
The crowd singing with the guitar was badass
They do that alot during Metallica concerts to lol
They do that with an ac/DC concert to.
Ik I saw Metallica live a few years ago perfection
And with megadeth also,
Latinoamérica baby 🤣
When I attended their concert I was astonished by how much they sound like their album, it's pretty rare anymore especially with all the electronic additions people pump in now days. These guys are the real deal.
this was dubbed though, just saying
@@thedbq1 he said he attended their concert tho. He wasn't really talk about this particular video. 😬
They won the best live band awards several times for reason yeah

When you have been an old Metallica, GNR, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Aerosmith fan, and your 14 year old son introduces you to this band... priceless. To my credit i introduced him to heavy metal.
I got introduced to avenge sevenfold in 2012 by Chris Jericho
Hell yeah dude, I was introduced to this band by my friend back in 2017
It also the first band metal/Rock band i listened to and brought me to the genre
My 19 year old got me here, this is so fire 🔥🔥🔥
And this is a Bad ass band. These guys are true Rock N Rollers.
I knew this band from copying my friend songs into my laptop at 2006 or 2007 if iam not wrong . Syn bending are well known today
Man, A7X are absolute legends. I've had this song in my head all day and had to watch the video.
I just hear some "sad but true" feelings in this song. This is a badass killer track
Haha, same here.
That's the polemic since this was released lul
Yeah
according to the band it was intentional as a nod to metallica
Some??? This is basically A7X's adapted cover of it
4:47 love how he has a ghost tshirt both my fav bands mixed
Lyrics:
Hide my face again, harbor in the shadows
Feel this weight of sin hammering away
Die, with the guilt of a thousand AWOL soldiers
Die, watch the scythe usher me astray
I can't go on this way
Not as I am today
The ugly side of me is strong
Take aim, a loaded gun.
Pull back on all who run.
A coward's truth inside the wrong.
This means war
This means war
This means war
Lash your tongue of bane
Carry me to nowhere
Mental holocaust
Battle never ends
Lie! Mask the pain
Of a child who's forsaken
Lie! To myself
Praise the new regime
I left me long ago
Reasons you'll never know
No one to miss me when I'm gone
With no more words to say
No argument to stay.
Another post I don't belong
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war
No home to call my own
No finding someone new
No one to break the fall
No one to see me through
No name to carry on
No promise for today
No one to hear the call
No tattered flag to raise
Walk the razor's edge
Cut into the madness
Question all you trust
Buy into the fear
I see the man ripping at my soul now
I, I know the man
I know him all too well
There's nothing here for free
Lost who I want to be
My serpent blood can strike so cold
On any given day
I'll take it all away
Another thought I can't control
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war
You mean:
Hey I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They, they betray
I'm your only true friend now
They they'll betray
I'm forever there
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
Sad but true
You you're my mask
You're my cover, my shelter
You you're my mask
You're the one who's blamed
Do do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do do my deeds
For you're the one who's shamed
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel

É de arrepiar ver a bandeira do Brasil no meio de tanta gente!
Ainda tem Brasileiros de bom gosto musical
De fato, fiquei surpreso, brasileiro sabe ser fã e os gringo reconhecem hehe
Mas esse clipe foi gravado no brasil e argentina
@@marcosaquino8709 gravado aqui pq o fã brasileiro é um dos únicos no mundo que cantam e passam a energia pra quem se apresenta
@@wesleypification vdd viu
e aparece nossa bandeira?
Awesome song. Metal shows in South America always have the best footage.
I hate this stuff
Givonnie Anderson so, don't watch it. lol
+Givonnie Aderson Nobody gives a shit!
Juan. Lega its latín América not just south you fuck face
Ididjsjej
The relevance this song holds today is insane.
It is war. Elijah
Truer words were never spoken Kombo Kong this song is about fighting back against what we see as corrupt and wrong
History repeats
no more than ever, it just keeps getting more relevent.
Real shit tho...
This music video was absolutely epic, seeing so many people gathered around, enjoying the music. Nothing like it. On another note, this song is amazing! I love the HTTK album and this masterpiece is no exception!
I love Metallica and A7X and I don't care if this song is really seemed to Sad But Fucking True, just enjoy, it's awesome too!
Tu tá em tudo quanto é lugar :v sempre vejo comment seu no TecMundo
Achei que era gringo, hehue
it sounds like sad but true, but who gives a shit atleast it was good inspiration.
this song just rocks so hard.
That's just great..settle for the same ol crap
Nice one 🎸
I love how the fans go: "Sevenfold! Sevenfold! Sevenfold! Sevenfold!" at the start
Thats strange. Im pretty sure they only said it once. Ill have go go back and listen though. We should all go back. Listen to this all unfold. Then come back and make a statement
👍🔥
I love how fans shout "oh ooh oooh" to the beat of the song

Really don't care If It sounds like sad but true or not, this song is fux*@$! good!
This Means War]
Hide my face again
Harbor in the shadows
Feel this weight of sin
Hammering away
Die with the guilt
Of a thousand AWOL soldiers
Die watch the scythe usher me astray
I can't go on this way
Not as I am today
The ugly side of me is strong
Take aim, a loaded gun
Pull back on all who run
A coward's truth inside the wrong
This means war
This means war
This means war
Lash your tongue of bane
Carry me to nowhere
Mental holocaust
Battle never ends
Lie, mask the pain
Of a child who's forsaken
Lie to myself
Praise the new regime
I left me long ago
Reasons you'll never know
No one to miss me when I'm gone
With no more words to say
No argument to stay
Another post I don't belong
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war
No home to call my own
No finding someone new
No one to break the fall
No one to see me through
No name to carry on
No promise for today
No one to hear the call
No tattered flag to raise
Walk the razor's edge
Cut into the madness
Question all you trust
Buy into the fear
I see the man ripping at my soul now
I, I know the man
I know him all too well
There's nothing here for free
Lost who I want to be
My serpent blood can strike so cold
On any given day
I'll take it all away
Another thought I can't control
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war
it does sound like sad but true!
Tatiane de Faria You Know It Sad But... Oh, sorry wrong song
This Means waaaar!
Tatiane de Faria, p

Ironically this comment is sad but true
Fan fact : the number 6661 in zack's guitar is 1999 (when the band was founded) upside down

LYRICS:
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They
They betray
I'm your only true friend now
They
They'll betray
I'm forever there
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
You
You're my mask
You're my cover, my shelter
You
You're my mask
You're the one who's blamed
Do
Do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do
Do my deeds
For you're the one who's shamed
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
Hate
I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
Pay
Pay the price
Pay, for nothing's fair
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who took you there
Hey
I'm your life
And I no longer care
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reasoned alibis
I'm inside open your eyes
I'm you
Sad But True
omg thnx u are d best
Alan Coello Why, because he's unoriginal and blatantly boring?
Hahaha was thinking the same thing. This posers cannot even invent shit
What are you two so mad about? I didn't claim to invent anything. I noticed the blatant similarities between the two songs, like many others apparently did. I love A7X as much as the next guy - have since their Warped Tour days - but they keep putting out these Metallica lite songs that do disservice to their talent as a band. Maybe you should be mad at them, not me.
Im i dont dislike them, i dislike their fanboys who think they are metalheads are shit to listening to this pop band. Maybe you are not one of them, but who knows..
Stadium Rock at it's finest and most sincere... God Bless the drummer, Thank God for Soldiers. The Rev. Lives on, and I just keep on marching. Praise The Lord!
Guys, stop fighting. Who cares who ripped off who. Metallica and A7X are both awesome. Let's just enjoy them
+ andrei260902 Yeah, fuck brawls and live rock
yea
metallica and avenged comparing? just enjoy the music the way theyd like you too
+andrei260902 being that Metallica is one of their major influences, I'm pretty sure the song was more of a tribute. People that claim they're ripping them off are being hypocritical fuckheads. If any other major band did this, no one would care.
we should go to war for it.

Me : "Where's my pizza?"
My bro : "Ate it."
Me :
THIS MEANS WAAAAAR
Love this song💪❤👍
😤🔥
I can relate
🤣🤣🤣
Qué canción! Para escucharla una y otra vez. Me recuerda un poco a "Sad but true" de Metallica, otra gran canción. 🤘🏻
Yeah...the buildup is identical to sad but true
Why are people hating on the guys? This album is to all the bands that helped them come up with their songs. Mostly riffs. Now if y'all could quit hating because it sounds like sad but true I'd thank you
Allison Clarke, THANK YOU!!!! Enjoy the music!
Allison Clarke Stop equating criticism with hate. Jesus.
Coming from someone who has played the intro riff, and the main riff heard throughout Sad But True, this doesn't even sound like Sad But True to me, honestly. Yes it is similar, but at the same time, completely different. Anyone who feels that "Because its similar, they stole from Metallica!" has down syndrome.
True, also the "they stole form Metallica" was the best part and if they say it was stolen they need to look to your comment!
Also fuck the haters
i don't get it, all these comments like "they have copied sad but true" bla bla
It sounds like metallica but its not copied. The whole album was for their idols like metallica and maiden. They said it in an interview. Hail to the King (Metallica, Maiden, ..)
When the crowd is involved then it sounds epic.
This is my favorite song by these guys for sure cuz it totally rocks for real people
Simply, one of the best bands in the story of metal.
FOREVER AVENGED SEVENFOLD THE BEST SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!
Beast and the Harlot begs to differ
Mike DiLoreto haha true that, nothing can top the City of Evil album ;)
Have you ever listened to Afterlife, or Critical Acclaim or any other song for the fact
Have you ever listened to Afterlife, or Critical Acclaim or any other song for the fact
Mike DiLoreto on this album I think heretic is the best song.
That moment when you go to a Metallica concert and Avenged Sevenfold opens for them and you get to see both awsome songs...
Avenged Sevenfold opened for Metallica in the Orgullo, Pasión y Gloria Mexico concert in 2008 but it was actually their worst concert people started yelling to them emos 🙄
Que canción más épica 💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️☠️💀☠️💀💀☠️💀☠️☠️💀☠️ Sevenfold Best banda.
" I left me long ago
Reasons you'll never know
No one to miss me when I'm gone" 🔥
i miss you bro
All the song was recorded in Mexico City awww yeah!!, best day of my life so far.
encerio fue grabado en mexico?D: yo queria ir pero no pude :c
No, también hay partes de Argentina, Chile, Brasil.. México no es el único.
Noe tiene razón, pero estuvo genial que nos agregaran al video :)
Casi todo el video parece de Mexico aunque el audio sea de Argentina
Me refiero a que la gran parte del video está grabado en el palacio de los deportes,los tuve tan cerca :'), ojalá vengan lo más pronto posible. \m/
Its a shame that no one talks about how amazing the song is!
I do
This is the perfect song to listen to on a road trip with your earphones on
Funny thing is,the entire album of Hail to the king is Avenge Sevenfold taking their influences (like Metallica and Slayer and other bands) and adapting their styles as a kind of homage. So the comparisons are kind of on purpose
While that is true how is it funny?
Because so many people are pissy, accusing A7X of ripping off other artists.
True lol
They really are hailing to the original kings
True! People are so slow...
I grew up absolutely loving Metallica. This is one of the hardest driving beats I've ever heard. Kudos A7X for the best rock song EVER 👏
DAMN!!! I love this song! I love A7X! This is one of those songs where you can really see and feel how much they love what they do!!!! Can't get enough!!! Watching Syn play gives me chills and I love that snarky little smile he comes up with!
May 21, 2024. Still watching everyday. Love A7X from Philippines ❤️❤️
Here's the lyrics for anyone who's looking:
Hey (Hey)
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey (Hey)
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They (they)
They betray
I'm your only true friend now
They (they)
They'll betray
I'm forever there
I'm your dream make me real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
Sad but trowah!
HAUAHAUAHAUAHAUA! Avenged fans will get angry. Sorry, guys! Sad but true...
+Pauly Mack hahahahhahahhahaha
+Pauly Mack noice
+Pauly Mack hahahahahah
+André Luiz Manhães Thats is a Tribute to Sad but True. Learn the facts
i love both..Metallica and A7x
a7x broh
Typo lmao
I'm a hardcore A7X fan A7X for life 🤘
They are the 2 best band ever created
Don't listen to that much of metal anymore but a7x will forever have its place in my heart
This song is great for getting rid of stress. Just think of all the lives your band has saved. Your songs teach the truth. Like a Bible. The preacher is in a very good place. Don't worry about him . He's watching over you.
bible aint no truth
Love this Jam, I Listen To It Every Morning Before Work, Long Live Sevenfold
Hearing this song at a concert is soooo many levels of deadly!
Just WOW!!!
This is my workout music it’s keeps me going
same brooo
TRY HAIL TO THE KING. ITS FUCKING AMAZING! TESTOSTERONE WILL GO THROUGH THE ROOF
@@TheEnglishCommute Hail to the King, This Means War, Critical Acclaim, Brompton Cocktail, Shepherd of Fire, and Bat Country is a nice combo for a playlist 😩
Such a great song, video & band !! N I'm in my 50's...
Sama juttu. Taisin olla melkein 60v ja tää ihastu samantien. Siis todellakin hyvä.

When you hear the "oooohh" above the guitar at first part, you know that's Argentina: 0:52
Wow first singer I've ever seen that sings exactly like in a studio version or in songs that are not live as well as 12k+ comments on a song video! 😱
Disturbed does a cover of "sound of silence" It's amazing live & studio. David has an amazing voice
Beginning: SEVENFOLD!!! 🤘
Esos coros de la gente haciendo "oh oh ohhh",seguro que fueron grabados de Argentina!!Solamente acá se corean los riffs de guitarras!!
metalacera3 todos mis conciertos en México es igual, los mexicanos también lo hacen, los latinos son chidos.
Brasil. BRASIL..
This version sounds way better then spotify with rhe crowd i know the singing is the same but the crowd sounds insane
Holy shitballs if this is just the raw crowd sound in the background, then A7x has a fkin great one.
Escuto a música há anos e só agora notei que tem a bandeira do brasil no clipe, BRASILEIROS AMAM A7X
Look at this. Just look at it. This is why Avenged Sevenfold & heavy metal fans are the best fans in the world! You'll never see pop stars or rappers playing to crowds this large with so many ferociously passionate fans. This type of dynamic between a band and it's fans is unique to rock/metal, and it goes beyond the typical relationship modern performers have with their listeners. Ours is a cathartic, borderline religious endeavor we get to experience with our genre. It's as if this is our Mecca, and we must all make a pilgrimage to it at least once in our lifetimes in order to consummate our devotion to the artform.
The masses go to Kanye West or Katy Perry concerts to simply be entertained for the evening. Not metal fans. Not A7X fans. No, we go to an Avenged show to bare our souls and bask in the sonic euphoria that can only come when a rock band & it's fans give it everything they've got by pouring every fiber of their being out onto the stages, floors, and balconies of arenas every night all around the world.
There's simply nothing else like hard rock & metal in music. Rock/Metal music will always have an inherent intangible quality to give it an edge over all the other music genres. That intangible quality being bands who create all of their own music themselves, and imbue their music with high levels of emotion and soulfulness at every step along the way. These guys have to translate through their instruments the stream of consciousness sounds only they can hear in their heads when creating new music. No hired studio musicians to play it for them first. No lyrics being purchased from songwriters. No high tech studio wizardry like sampling, computers, or sound effects being mixed together to manufacture the next killer bass line that the industry can market to adverisers and cash in on.
No, rock & metal music is the best music because it's the only genre where a bunch of otherwise ordinary people, when taken as singular individuals, can come together to create something remarkably extraordinary as a combined group. Even better is the fact that this is only achieved through relentless practice, patience, hard work, and sheer determination.
Pop and rap can win the popularity contest for all we care. Because us rock & metal fans will always have the edge over those audiences because only we get to experience the unique emotional and spiritual fulfillment that only rock & metal music offers to it's audiences.
Those poor, ignorant bastards.....
Britton Thompson and the best thing is that they aren't videotaping it with their phones
So true
Well put
This gave me chills
I really don't think this type of fan base is uncommon...sorry to be a Debby downer, but there are plenty of passionate, almost religiously passionate, fan bases for pop artist, rock artist, etc.
they actually did it with metallica also. a combo of both songs. it was 🔥🔥🔥yes, they are very metallica inspired, but i dont think theyre hiding it
sevenfold!! sevenfold!!! brasil porra !!
Metallica Metallica! Biggest rip off I've ever heard other than Kid Rock.
Aki é brasil porra
Brasil nessa porra!! :)
Laize Araujo BR e foda u=u é tois \o\ derruba o funk, Rock!

There's no bad song in this album 😮😮
2020 e eu não consigo deixar de escutar esse HINO
THIIIIIIIIS MEEEEEANS WAAAAAAAAR
música melhor não existe slc
Fodaa
isso que é música
Up
2023 dois.
i would pay any amount of money, to see James Hetfield's face when he heard this song for the first time on the backstage while A7X is opening for Metallica
"Oh, they made a cover of us. That's cool. But why did they change the lyrics?"
EgocentricHead I dont think they made a cover they just wanted to use the same riff which was featured in Sad But True
They made songs to sound like bands they grew up liking. If you jack asses knew anything about Avenged you would know this. Metallica actually likes the song and they are friends with Avenged Sevenfold. Avenged Sevenfold has even said that these songs were done for bands that were their inspiration. Nobody copied anyone. Through out the history of rock every band has done songs that sound similar to others. You can't copy right a riff, if so there would be no music. every song takes something from other music. I grew up on Metallica, the good kick ass Metallica and ill take Avenged over them any day music wise and personal. They are down to earth. They lost a member and still 10 years later his voice echos through their concerts. They never forget and the fans dont either. Thats a true band that dont let their member get forgotten. foREVer.
@@the3walcks chill.
Albert Reyes the riff isn’t the same.
Also sad but true is in D standard. I think tmw is in drop D.
Also the riff is always played way differently.
This comments section:
50%: they have copied sad but true
48%: stop saying that they copied sad but true
2%: good song!

SAD BUT THIS MEANS WAR TRUE
Sad but this means true war
THATs what im talkin about
much better
You didn't get it, and you listen Metallica lol :)))
Mirza Costin but first you must come clean mexicolas.
I think every musician has ripped off at least one song in their career. I know i sure have. Shows a bit of appreciation to their inspirations. Every other song they've written is much more original. Still got mad respect for them! \m/
It's a fucking tribute album... You know because the REV died and they're comenderating their childhood idols.
AlchemistOfNirnroot
"Comenderating"? What the fuck does that mean?
Christopher Willis commendation
« Sad but true » vibes
Essa banda é simplesmente
Arrasadora...qdo eu vi pela primeira vez , cresceu uma onda de euforia ,pois até então pra mim , já tinha passado a época das grandes bandas de rock ...
Na minha opinião a época , foi de 60 a 80 , daí por diante não apareceu ninguém com tamanho
Veia artística a externar letras de rock ,MÚSICA DE ROCK END ROLL , AMO ❤🎧🎶🎵🎸🤘
