The sign of a good band, at least in my opinion, is when their music is able to paint a picture in your brain as you listen to them. A7X does that consistently. Great reaction.
I agree, I also love the Variety of Avenged Sevenfold you never know when a new album comes out what it'll be even the genre changes you got the Metalcore in the early years, to whatever City of Evil is, to the Classic 80s Metal tribute of Hail To The King, to the Prog of The Stage, to that even more experimental/Daft Punk/ I don't even knew what of Life Is But A Dream Then even the albums themselves are full of variety like this Self Titled one going straight from A Little Piece Of Heaven into Dear God I love bands that aren't afraid to try something new no matter if it'll be divisive or not but then still keeping a sound that you can still tell it's them
I am an immigrant from Iraq, I am a huge Avenged 7 folds fan. I worked as a translator for the US army in Iraq, this song and M.I.A especially bring back my memories with the army in Iraq. When we went out on missions and patrols, our gunner in the humvee used to play those songs, he had an iPod and he taped the earphones right by the mic on his headset so we all in the humvee can listen and we still could hear everything else around us. Good times !. And this is how I was introduced to Avenged 7 folds.
I'm a fan of technical death metal with crazy speed screams and growls. but m.shadows is the best metal singer imo and his scream is the reason why i like a7x.
He definitely deserves a tonne of respect, but I can also see why so many people are turned out by his super nasally singing period just after this album released. His voice was fucked and he went far too much into the nasal singing to compensate. I adore the band, have their logo tattood on my arm 18 years ago, but I can't watch live videos from around 2010 onwards because his voice sucks.
Nasally vocals really aren't for everyone. They were my favorite band in the world during Waking The Fallen and City of Evil but Matt has always BY FAR been the weak link in the band. I can't stand these exaggerated radio dad rock vocals.
If your up for somewhat of a marathon of a song I cant recommend Save Me by Avenged Sevenfold more. It encapsulates everything that is good about the band and puts it all in a 11 minute song
You must watch Gunslinger live in Jakarta. All the people sing along with Matt on this part. People in Indonesia very very love this part. "I've always been true I've waited so long just to come hold you I'm making it through It's been far too long, we've proven our love over time's so strong, in all that we do The stars in the night, they lend me their light to bring me closer to heaven with you"
I am a diehard A7X fan, and this IMHO is their best album. It is SO FULL of emotion, you can really hear it in the songwriting and in Matt's voice. This and Brompton Cocktail are my absolute favourites. Please react to more songs from their Self-Titled! Edit: I highly recommend watching the 'Making Of' for this album, its all on RUclips and you get an amazing insight into all the extra instrumentation on this album, like the choirs, orchestral elements and so on.
The layers "my prayers have made it through yeah" is fill by the Rev. And there is also a video of "making gunslinger" you can see also female singer fill the part when about guitar solo begin.
"This is so sof-OH" Pretty much the vibe of thsi whole album. What a fucking amazing album. Shame we had to lose The Rev to get it, but gawDAMN you find yourself at your lowest and darkest point.
I recommend the following for his vocals Tonight the world dies (nightmare album) God hates us(nightmare album) Unbound the wild ride(self titled album) He has great vocals in all of their songs but there are some of his nice moments that I think you’ll appreciate
That part you liked when we hear another voice in the background shines waaayyy more live (LBC) because we hear The Rev better !! We hear him a lot in Critical Acclaim and A Little Piece Of Heaven and a bit in Afterlive (both were also played in the LBC show) (throughout the whole white album) In Fiction too if you wan't to cry !
The layers you’re hearing in the upper vocal range is the Rev that was their drummer before he passed. Who was also responsible for many of their songs and their entire sound and vibe in general…. RIP✌️ ❤️😅
Heretic , This means war , shepherd of fire , the stage , unbound , acid rain , doing time , I won’t see u tonight part 1 , the fight , demons , sidewinder , dancing dead Listen to them + floods by pantera and voice of the soul by death
That woman's voice is The Rev's backing vocals as far as i know... the whole song is just great and it somewhat represents patriotism.. Great reaction tho
Yeah, you've been alone I've been gone for far too long But with all that we've been through After all this time I'm coming home to you Never let it show The pain I've grown to know 'Cause with all these things we do It don't matter when I'm coming home to you I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes My heart's always with you now I won't question why so many have died My prayers have made it through yeah 'Cause with all these things we do It don't matter when I'm coming home to you Letters keep me warm Helped me through the storm But with all that we've been through After all this time I'm coming home to you I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes My heart's always with you now I won't question why so many have died My prayers have made it through yeah 'Cause with all these things we do It don't matter when I'm coming home to you I've always been true I've waited so long just to come hold you I'm making it through It's been far too long, we've proven our love over time's so strong, in all that we do The stars in the night, they lend me their light to bring me closer to heaven with you But with all that we've been through After all this time I'm coming home to you I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes My heart's always with you now I won't question why so many have died My prayers have made it through yeah 'Cause with all these things we do It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
One of my favs. Dedicated to personal friends of theirs and of course the 🇺🇸Military in general ,which they have much respect towards😎 Modern Day Gunslinger-
@Rayactions you should hear A Little Piece of Heaven, Afterlife, Fiction, Brompton Cocktail, Critical Acclaim, Crossroads, Lost, Scream, Chapter Four, Almost Easy, Seize the Day, Save Me, and also the demo version of Nightmare and Eternal Rest to become introduced to the drummer...The Rev Sullivan...those songs are some of the best in my personal opinion
@@jameslrofficial That's M.Shadows' voice from the recording studio, it's clearly distorted and full of grit...is your hearing problem, bro? all the vocals on the recording are mostly filled by m.shadows' voice... maybe some are filled by other people and even if the second vocal is filled by someone else then the difference will be very clear to the ear between m.shadows' voice and that person's voice
This song is good. It is from my favourite Avenged Sevenfold Album. So eclectic. They have a song called MIA. Told from the soldiers point of view. I like bands that have deep meaning in their songs. If you have not done Bat Country or Hail to the King, then you should. 2 of their biggest songs and Bat Country is probably their signature song. It is the song that broke them into the mainstream. Both songs are quite heavy. Hail to the King is one of my Fav Avenged Sevenfold songs and albums. The drums are amazing. You should listen to one of their full albums. I would start with City of Evil as it is the album where they changed their sound and found mainstream success. Some people rip on Avenged Sevenfold. I think one of the main reasons is that they were a heavy metal/metacore band that found mainstream success. They may have been played too much on rock radio back I the mid 00s. Some people think they are an Emo band. As I think on Bat Country and Beast and The Harlet, they were supposed to be vampires, but people thought they looked emo.
first time heard this song in 2009, when i was in second grade of junior high school. at that time i didn't like the intro. but after listening to it repeatedly, gunslinger is one of my favorites🤍
Live in LBC version is one of the best gunslinger
Yes the rev backing vocals is amaze🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘☠️☠️☠️
@@SuperDAVIEZ YEAAAAH
YEESSSSS!!!!

Matt will never get the respect he deserves in metal with his vocals when they really really really do hit!! 🫠🔥

It just feels right that you’re listening to Avenged Sevenfold again
The extra "layer" of vocals is none other than jimmy "the rev" sullivan

yes, exacly

my favorite song of all times
@@hitoka3180 Same
Save me is GOATed
Yes please! That song is just a masterpiece
Finally Avenged sevenfold again 🫶🏻
SAVE ME - A7X
favorite song of all time. straight up masterpiece.
top
Seems like shes finally discovered The Rev's singing. Thats who's adding in the harsh vocals in the background.
You must watch Gunslinger live in Jakarta. All the people sing along with Matt on this part. People in Indonesia very very love this part.
"I've always been true
I've waited so long just to come hold you
I'm making it through
It's been far too long, we've proven our
love over time's so strong, in all that we do
The stars in the night, they lend me their light
to bring me closer to heaven with you"
Yessss!!!! I was there, all the way from Vietnam. So damn emotional
I am a diehard A7X fan, and this IMHO is their best album. It is SO FULL of emotion, you can really hear it in the songwriting and in Matt's voice. This and Brompton Cocktail are my absolute favourites. Please react to more songs from their Self-Titled!

Bro
Brompton cocktail is a fucking banger and nobody talks about it.
I'm telling you "Victim is the most beautiful song ever. With a meaning that rips your heart out
Gunslinger & bat country Live in LBC
The layers "my prayers have made it through yeah" is fill by the Rev. And there is also a video of "making gunslinger" you can see also female singer fill the part when about guitar solo begin.
999th like. Avenged Sevenfold reactions have been my favorite on the channel for months!
You should definitely react to the Live in the LBC version!! It’s gorgeous
That layers part “prayers have made it through yeah” of shadows voice is actually sang by The Rev as a backing vocal
I love watching you react to my fav band 🖤 hope you know your personality is great!! And WOW I’m early for this one lol
One of my favourites of theirs. Often overlooked.
Heck yeah, buddy! This song is a bop. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Duuuude, Johnny on the bass in the final verse gives me chills.
You NEED to listen to their song God Hates Us live at the rock am ring 2011
Have to watch the live in the LBC version!
"This is so sof-OH"
Pretty much the vibe of thsi whole album. What a fucking amazing album. Shame we had to lose The Rev to get it, but gawDAMN you find yourself at your lowest and darkest point.
The self titled is just a great album, there talent is just so good.. forever
👇
Great reaction,, you put a lot of emotion and are very inciteful... love your enthusiasm... keep up the great work.
YOU MUST WATCH THE LIVE IN LBC VERSION, IT'S GORGEOUS!!
Amazing rayaction as always😄
0:11 imma take it as a compliment to me too thanks Ray 😉
This and Unbound and two of the most underrated songs of this album. They are really amazing songs to listen, so musically and vocally rich
Miss you Rev ❤
I recommend the following for his vocals
Tonight the world dies (nightmare album)
God hates us(nightmare album)
Unbound the wild ride(self titled album)
He has great vocals in all of their songs but there are some of his nice moments that I think you’ll appreciate
one of my favourite and most replay song, you should watch the live in lbc version, that's most perfect gunslingerrrrr
Yeaaahhhh . Finally.. gunslinger ..thanks 👍
The "vocals only" video of this song is incredible
she’s back with avenged, thaaaaaaaanks for that
There's a live version of this @ LBC. you should try that one too!
That part you liked when we hear another voice in the background shines waaayyy more live (LBC) because we hear The Rev better !!
We hear him a lot in Critical Acclaim and A Little Piece Of Heaven and a bit in Afterlive (both were also played in the LBC show)
(throughout the whole white album)
In Fiction too if you wan't to cry !
Jimmy's voice was just soo unique and cool.
@@102ndsmirnov7 yup, RIP 😔🙏
There's videos of the making of the album! They are insane! It's worthing checking them out!
Self-titled album is one of their member take most effort in progress to create.
Echoing another comment here. Live in the LBC version of this song is INCREDIBLE! Matt and The Rev will give you chills.
This song is so underrated I love it, definitely gotta check out I Won't See You Tonight Parts 1 and 2 if you haven't heard it yet
WOOHOO!! Love this song!!🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯
That backing vocal on second layer is the rev, rest in peace Jimmy
The layers you’re hearing in the upper vocal range is the Rev that was their drummer before he passed. Who was also responsible for many of their songs and their entire sound and vibe in general…. RIP✌️ ❤️😅
you need to react LBC version ..
you need to watch won't see you tonight part 1 and 2, it's one of the best songs written by the rev in my opinion.
FINALLY more Avenged Sevenfold!!!!!
Live in indonesia mat, hit every high note in their song like seize the day, gunslinger, so far away, and dear god
Next Danger Line🔥🤘
The full álbum is amazing.
The vibrato at the end with "byeeee" is the confirm that you're a singer xD
Being in the military, this song always hits so different
AVENGED SEVENFOLD - MIA NEXT!
Live at the LBC gunslinger is nuts
Heretic , This means war , shepherd of fire , the stage , unbound , acid rain , doing time , I won’t see u tonight part 1 , the fight , demons , sidewinder , dancing dead
Listen to them + floods by pantera and voice of the soul by death
Love the reaction! Haha
My 2nd Favorite band damn they're good
The best reaction ❤
My favorite song by them tbh
AVENGED SEVENFOLD GOD DAMN REACTION 🔥
That woman's voice is The Rev's backing vocals as far as i know... the whole song is just great and it somewhat represents patriotism.. Great reaction tho
The woman's additional voice before the solo is Shanna Crooks, you can see her in the making of the album, The Rev's vocals was in the second layer
Yes and no. The voice before the solo is an actual woman. The layered vocals are Rev’s.
My fav song from A7X, yay! ❤
Also live Seize the Day @ LBC ❤
That's The Rev. You should check the making of self titled album. You'll see how good the Rev at singing
I am SO SO SO SO sad she didn't react to the Live in the LBC version ;(
Yeah, you've been alone
I've been gone for far too long
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you
Never let it show
The pain I've grown to know
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
Letters keep me warm
Helped me through the storm
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you
I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
I've always been true
I've waited so long just to come hold you
I'm making it through
It's been far too long, we've proven our
love over time's so strong, in all that we do
The stars in the night, they lend me their light
to bring me closer to heaven with you
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you
I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
are we not gonna talk about how raya look so fkg good here?
Thankyou raya, ❤
I always look at this song as being titled "guns linger" and I think M.I.A. is the rest of the story
my absolute favorite breakdown in all of music history 1:44
You should definitely check out Second Heartbeat from Live in the LBC (same album as Unholy Confessions). Favorite song from any band ever
One of my favs. Dedicated to personal friends of theirs and of course the 🇺🇸Military in general ,which they have much respect towards😎 Modern Day Gunslinger-

Kinda gives me a parallel to Filter Hey man nice shot. Starts out light for a minute then the scream comes in.
you must to see the live version in LBC, its feel more touchfull :)
One of my favourite
Next M.I.A🎉
My favorite video by you...❤
This live in LBC is a must
