Being a good man is about honesty, integrity, and conscience. When you decide you no longer care about hurting someone else in order to get something you want, you've made a beast out of yourself and gotten rid of the pain (guilt, regret) of your actions. Just my take. Don't know if that was the original intent of the quote.
@@notoriousrc3259 I did say it was my take on it. You seem to want to keep the "real" meaning to yourself instead of sharing, so I don't really understand how your reply was intended to further the conversation.
Hunter S. Thompson references riddled all over this music video. If you haven't seen the movie Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro then I highly recommend you do. It is a total mind f*ck!
And once you've finished enjoyed it as movie.. You can decode it to reveal the disgusting messages hidden within. It's a brilliant film with a disgusting message.
Yeees. If you like guitar solos you'll love A7X. Their lead guitarist, Synyster Gates, is my favorite! Awesome reaction, you're hilarious! I'm glad you did this song. I agree you should do Nightmare and MIA oh and Save Me, that's my personal favorite.
It's a song about tripping on drugs (primarily LSD, hence the hallucinations of lizard tongues etc.), with a lot of "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas" references. If you haven't seen that movie, see it!
" Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live then die. We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives. We may get some solutions but most just pass us by"
The song and video are based on the Hunter S Thompson book Fear and Loathing on Las Vegas, all the imagery including that quote at the beginning are all from the book
The song is based off the movie/novel 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas', as you see in the video there were reference points toward the movie like the Red Car on the highway and the casino. I don't fully remember what the premise or plot of the movie but I just remember that they had loads of drugs in their car and were on a huge drug binge and were hallucinating so all the animal things like the bats flying and lizard people are the side effects of the drugs they did. "He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of all the pain of being a man." I don't know if this is the real meaning of the quote but what I got from it was that doing drugs is making a beast out if yourself and how people use drugs to 'coupe' with pain is the 'gets rid of the pain of being a man' part.
The video is based on the movie "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," with Johnny Depp. It's basically one big acid trip. I highly recommend the movie. The title "Bat Country" comes from the book/movie. The main character starts seeing giant bats swooping down on his car while REALLY high on psychedelic drugs. When this happens, he says, "we are now entering into bat country..."
It's from quotes from the book and movie, in the 70s hunter s Thompson and his friend went on a crazy drug (all drugs known to man) and it's based on that
The video and song is based on Hunter S Thomson and the book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He was on heavy drugs and the book is him documenting his trip! Thanks for the reaction!
Loving the rock reactions. If you want deep tracks, you MUST do the late great Chris Cornell Nothing Compares to You (Prince Cover), vocals will give u chills! And Nirvana Where Did You Sleep Last Night MTV unplugged (Last performance before he died).
City of Evil album is fire 🤘🔥🍻 RIP REV 🙌 especially on this song Sidewinder, Strength of the World, Trashed & Scattered, Blinded in Chains, The Wicked End
Watch the movie fear and loathing in lad Vegas (not react obviously) but watch it. The video will make perfect sense. One of the best movies every btw.
If you haven’t listened to any Tool, you need to check them out. I just discovered your channel so i haven’t seen much & so I’m checking it out. I’m digging it. 👌🏼 Keep it up, man. Much love. ✌🏼
Bro, If you rate guitar solos, then you gotta go listen to Pantera songs my guy. Dimebag Darrell. RIP... Domination, Cowboys from hell, Walk, Cemetery Gates, Floods...just to name a few.
Never seen your videos before my man, love it. If you’re feeling the solos you really need to check out Pantera - Domination - Live in Moscow. Stupid fucking good content from a show that had over 1,000,000 people. Promise you won’t be disappointed. It’s a little heavier than this though. Regardless, it’s an impeccable live performance and you won’t be sorry to check it out. Keep up the good work homie 🤘
Loved the reaction I don’t think your take was wrong but the band has said it’s about Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas. Please check out the Beast and the Harlot by Avenged.
He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man... a bible verse, in my words basically saying..... if you sin freely, you get rid of temptation (Bring a Man [Human])

This is the one
Very well said. But its not what it means.
@@notoriousrc3259 I did say it was my take on it. You seem to want to keep the "real" meaning to yourself instead of sharing, so I don't really understand how your reply was intended to further the conversation.
@@dahelsley it's about taking psychedelic drugs to the point where you stop caring about reality I think.
Finally A7X! And if u gave this guitar solo a 10/10...Get ready for some 12/10s lol...
YES! Avenged Sevenfold’s one of my top bands, love that you started reacting to them ✌️
The video is a reference to the movie fear and loathing in las vegas about famous writer hunter s Thompson

A7X - Gunslinger
Hunter S. Thompson references riddled all over this music video. If you haven't seen the movie Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro then I highly recommend you do. It is a total mind f*ck!
This was really one of my favorite movies
And once you've finished enjoyed it as movie.. You can decode it to reveal the disgusting messages hidden within. It's a brilliant film with a disgusting message.
And the book

One of the tightest bands ever
Watch the movie Fear and loathing in Las Vegas(: this music video was based off of that legendary movie which is also based off of a true story.
The video and song is based on Hunter S Thomson and the book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He was on heavy drugs and the book is him documenting his trip!
Thanks for the reaction!
The quote means If you let go you live
Great reaction bro
I love this band if you like deep songs and a good solo listen to m.i.a by avenged sevenfold
yeah, very underrated song!!!
Some ppl have never seen fear and loathing and it really blows my mind 🤦
If this was a 10/10 guitar solo then their recent stuff is at at least a 30/10
It's all based on the book and movie "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas " deff check it out
Honestly I watched this just to see your face when the weird sh!t came up! 🤣 Priceless! Love A7X though.
Shepherd of Fire!
10, great track!
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a good primer for this video. Highly recommend you get really high and watch it.
M. Shadows and Synyster Gates are related to each other; their brothers-in-law.. 🤘🤘
Synyster Gates' twin sister is married to M. Shadows.
It's a reference to "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" by Hunter S. Thompson
It's about a peyote drug trip, hence the Hunter S. Thompson connection.
Loving the rock reactions. If you want deep tracks, you MUST do the late great Chris Cornell Nothing Compares to You (Prince Cover), vocals will give u chills! And Nirvana Where Did You Sleep Last Night MTV unplugged (Last performance before he died).
Dude, they edited the last part of the song out. U should listen to the whole song. The last part ends nice and smoothly.
This song is about the feeling you go through being on a drug high
Im sure others have said it but, if you dont know Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas then that is the first thing you need to watch RIGHT NOW!!!!
Haven't clicked a video so fast then just now
Synyster Gates is one of the.... IF NOT THE greatest guitarists ever!
Exist! Is the song you need to listen too! It's a 15 minute adventure!
City of Evil album is fire 🤘🔥🍻 RIP REV 🙌 especially on this song
Sidewinder, Strength of the World, Trashed & Scattered, Blinded in Chains, The Wicked End
their lead guitarist has been rated best in the world a coulpe of times an is number 9 on the list of best guitarists of all time
Living Colour - "Go Away". The whole "Stain" album is pretty damn good!!
"unholy Confessions" is another good one
A7X-Second Heartbeat has the best solo if all of there songs... hands down no questions asked
Watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and this video will make sense haha
Avenged Sevenfold is one of my favs.
This song is about a drug trip
Becoming a beast shields you from the pain of being human. Only problem is, you won't act like a human.
1:14 shock face
The section of the guitar solo before the singing comes back reminds me of a Megaman X game
Holy Wars... The Punishment Due - Megadeth. Please check it out my guy . Dope reaction btw. the instrumentation from A7X is craaaaaazy
HAVE to do nightmare man 🙌🏼
You gotta do Nightmare from them!!
First time listening to A7X was this song on Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock
Watch the movie fear and loathing in lad Vegas (not react obviously) but watch it. The video will make perfect sense. One of the best movies every btw.
If you haven’t listened to any Tool, you need to check them out. I just discovered your channel so i haven’t seen much & so I’m checking it out. I’m digging it. 👌🏼
Keep it up, man. Much love. ✌🏼
Sabotage by Beastie Boys is a must do for sure. Also recommend "wont get fooled again" by the Who. both bangers.
Bro, If you rate guitar solos, then you gotta go listen to Pantera songs my guy. Dimebag Darrell. RIP... Domination, Cowboys from hell, Walk, Cemetery Gates, Floods...just to name a few.
Need to check out Beast and the Harlot, Afterlife, and Buried Alive by Avenged Sevenfold
If you make yourself into an unfeeling person (in this case using drugs)you get rid of emotions like guilt fear etc.
Okay😔I need every single person who does not know the inspiration of this video to go watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas right the f*** now!!!
You need to react to avenged sevenfold nightmare, beast and the harlot, seize the day, so far away, critical acclaim and alittle piece of heaven
Never seen your videos before my man, love it. If you’re feeling the solos you really need to check out Pantera - Domination - Live in Moscow. Stupid fucking good content from a show that had over 1,000,000 people. Promise you won’t be disappointed. It’s a little heavier than this though. Regardless, it’s an impeccable live performance and you won’t be sorry to check it out. Keep up the good work homie 🤘
Check out Not Ready to Die from them.
Listen to Trashed and Scattered by Avenged Sevenfold.
You should react to beast and the harlot it explains everything
Yo dude you have an AC poster behind you and you're reaction to Avenged? Instant like!
Edit: Reacting not reaction
Loved the reaction I don’t think your take was wrong but the band has said it’s about Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas. Please check out the Beast and the Harlot by Avenged.
i feel an adjustment to the scale will soon be needed.
React to Pearl Jam- Even Flow
React to more A7X songs and clips, they are epic!
Hi! You love guitar solos, right? Then you have to react to Living Colour - "Go Away"!! One of the best solos ever!!! Check the lyrics too!!!
Seize the Day from the same album.
React to " I won't see you tonight part 1"
This song is about going on a bad acid trip and going to hell. The band said so.
Its about drug use.
React Avenged sevenfold - Nightmare
Doooo the stage by avenged sevenfold the music video and song itself sends a very powerful message lets see if you understand it 😂
Pls react to a7x seize the day, so far away, it is good songs.
DBZ budokai :D :D

Avenged Sevenfold have dozens of much better songs. You should react to Nightmare, Afterlife and A Little Piece of Heaven.
