      Some of your 300k+ Subs can be introduced to a song that otherwise they NEVER would have heard or known about. Kind of like watching you start your journey with *TOOL!!!* 😏😎

    For those here complaining about the song being metal. Metal is a genre that has saved my life and countless others. It’s given birth to some of the greatest musicians of all time, and many amazing songs bands have come from it. It’s a genre with some of the best fanbases in all of entertainment. You don’t have to understand metal to appreciate what it is, or what it has done for others.

    Nightmare - Not made for the game
    BO2:
    Shepherd of Fire - Not made for the game
    Carry On - Made for the game
    BO3:
    Jade Helm (Instrumental) - Made for the game
    Shepherd of Fire (Zombie Chronicles: Origins)
    Nightmare (Zombie Chronicles: Moon)
    BO4:
    Mad Hatter - Made for the game
    Treyarch loves A7X so much they actually made M. Shadows (lead singer) a character skin in BO4

    Love Avenged Sevenfold! Mostly the older “Rev-era” ones. They did a song remembering the Rev after he passed, called “So Far Away” which is quite emotional. One of my favorites by this band is “Afterlife”. It isn’t too heavy for those who dislike metal. Most metalheads do not consider Avenged Sevenfold to be metal at all, as a matter of fact.

    This was 100% on Madden 2006 and NHL 2006. Those songs, whether I liked them or not, are seared into my brain from playing those games for hundreds of hours.
    That said, A7X is awesome and you should definitely do more. My next recommendation would be Critical Acclaim (live in the LBC). I'm sure people will say to do A Little Piece of Heaven, which is an amazing song, but the video provides some shock value that people like to see reactors experience. I would say to save A Little Piece of Heaven until you get a few more under your belt from them.
    Great reaction, man!
