@@guyincognito320it feels inevitable that a kid who grows up with a musical parent will get into it to some degree, but on the other hand kids really have a lot of easy ways to get entertained these days, tje worst offenders being like ticktok/youtube shorts and all that. Its not easy to master an instrument or sit and write songs with so many distractions even for adults, let alone undeveloped children
Yeah i was quite surprised too. I don't listen to A7X much, or at all tbh, but him being all the time on aviators, and those "sparkly teeth in The beast and the harlot?" video, gave me the impression of a... douche, kinda. But now i think he's a cool dude!
General-Igloo he’s extremely HUMBLE which is unreal but that’s why I love him even more than his epic vocals. M shadows has gotta be the BEST in history of vocals.
The Brandon Kemp Show That’d Be Awesome. Matt Heafy from Trivium streams on twitch occasionally, so I think having another awesome vocalist reach out to the gaming community like that would be amazing.
Just wanted to point out to everyone who thought Matt called his son "Rev", that his son is actually named River, so Matt called him 'Riv'. However, River _is_ partially named after The Rev, as his middle name is James, just like the children of the other surviving band members: Tennessee James Baker, Franklin James Seward, and Nicholangelo Saint James Haner. I've also wondered whether "River" might be a play on the word "foREVer". Edit 1: And now there's Monroe Saint James Haner! Edit 2: Found out (from Val & Michelle on Drinks with Johnny) that Matt's younger son Cash is also named after The Rev; his middle name is Owen!
Back when black ops 2 came out they had a game with celebrities going on with Xbox gamers with fame I got a chance to play bunch a rounds with M Shadows and his crew. He's a awesome down to earth guy.
DereMemo he's definitely not like he was 10 years ago but he's in his 30s now so it's ok. But the mshadows from around the self titled album era was definitely jacked up
I've known forever that Matt is a HUGE gamer, but just nice to SEE what he's playing recently, and how he's got his son into gaming, too! :) I love that he's a huge CoD and Zelda fan! Those are definitely 2 games I love, especially the Zelda franchise! I got my own son into gaming a couple years back with Nintendo, Zelda, eventually expanded into more and more forms of games. It's just something so many people can relate to. Like Matt said, it can be therapeutic in so many situations and circumstances. Glad he turned to games and not something bad, when Jimmy passed. Gaming Community is strong! A7X foREVer \m/
I have nightmare, shepherd of fire, and not ready to die as my background music on bo3 instead of the stock ones Still not bored of hearing them every time before I play zombies
The Gaming M.Shadows would be a beautiful RUclips channel. And when playing blackops 2, he doesn't need to mute the music cause he's one of the creators of those soundtracks! Haha!
Being m shadows son must be the best thing ever, asking him everything about his shows, teach you how to scream, play piano, play videogames, hanging out. Meeting the rest of the band probably every day omg that would be fantastic
Just a great dude right there. Been my favorite band since i first saw them play with soad MANY years ago when i was just a teen. Meeting Avenged Sevenfold is on my bucket list!
James Andrews not really, most of those containers are done in $5000-$6000 shipping partitions, you basically fit as much as you can into the allocated space, and if you can’t fit it all in, you hire another container. He’d jimmy it in with the other gear. Plus, he’s a singer, so he probably has minimal hardware, a few compressors and some IeM units.
MrShaunh99 Rolling Stones is propaganda because they used to talk shit about rush for no reason because they were powerful. PURE propaganda. You really SHOULDNT have that many likes asking the most retarded question I’ve read on the internet “I would REALLY like to know how a magazine is propaganda” idiots. People like you is what’s wrong with the world.
They became my all-time favorite band when I heard Almost Easy in Need for Speed Pro Street over a decade ago. Still my favorite band and I’m only 20 yrs old. A7X foREVer
1:30 When he explains how he could isolate when he lost Rev, but that he had online friends , and that allowed him to separate from reality enough to heal basically
Matt Shadows is a classic gamer level James Rolfe and that's why he has all my respect If he's going to make another game, I would love to see some retro inspiration, indie developmers are making all kind of gems these days (Also, I really love the band)
Dr Niiko there isn't friend requests on xbox now, friends lists are now personal and don't require requests to be accepted. It just adds THEM to YOUR friends list
BO5 Needs to have a map dedicated to Avenged, picture this: Cutscene begins with them playing at a concert. Sh#t happens, crowd starts becoming zombies. Dudes get their hands on some weapons, crack a few heads with a guitar.etc, EPIC STANCE, game begins!
AWW THATS AWESOME m.SHADOWS PLAY VIDEO GAMES ! i LOVE COD AND iM AN OLD SCHOOL 90'S GAMER.H S KID IS SOO CUTE AND iM A HUGE FAN OF A7X R.I.P. THE REV WE MISS YOU!
He should start a gaming channel! Maybe he could play some games with his fans! That would be super dope! He seems like such a down to earth guy and I think hanging out with fans would be awesome!
One year later and I still don't have the controller for xbox. They teamed up again for a ps4 controller in October I'm patiently waiting for the xbox one to come out
He's got his TV on the wall which is part of his house setup. He's got a Monitor on top of what seems to be a touring case which I assume is the Monitor he brings on tour! :)
Christianspiller BenQs are used by console gamers a ton as well. Most competitive console gamers use BenQs or other similar gaming Monitors. Especially at Tournaments and Events like Call of Duty World League.
- When daddy plays he's serious -
M. Shadows.
hey
M.Shadows seems like the coolest dad ever
hey
Worst band ever 🤮
I wonder if the boys will get into singing because both parents are exceptionally good metal screamers.

It seems that he is a very down to earth and simple guy, cool dude.
Yeah i love how chill he is

Mega Pertiwi AMAZING!! He literally ROCKS
An M.Shadows gaming channel would be cool.
The Brandon Kemp Show. The world needs to know this

Eric Hernandez, The world does need to know this lol.
Mikeadamort I didn't know that I'm gonna have to check it out.
Gets striked for using AV7 music
Omg yes
"Zelda is my favourite franchise of all time."
A man of impeccable taste. :-)
Yes indeed!
Correct
Josh Dalviken meh xD castlevainia was better
Josh Dalviken literally everyone likes it u dumb shit
If Zelda is his favorite franchise I need to play every Zelda game ever so that it can be my favorite franchise too.
So someone, somewhere, has played, unknowingly, with M. Fucking Shadows on a game of Call of Duty.
I see him regularly at him at the gym I go to in Huntington Beach :p
David Coffman SAY HELLO TO HIM
On game of call fucking duty
probly many people lol
M. Shadows said it, "Chicks dig gamers".
Gamers with other talents in his case.
Yeah, a gamer who also happens to be a swole multi millionaire musician.
@@cuck1ngfunt he was with his wife way before he became a millionnaire tho
Kim Bolduc Fair point. I’ve seen Seize the Day.
@@cuck1ngfunt yo i know seize the day. Can you explain the relation of the video clip and the band members real life?
So what this means is i could of potentially got killed by m. Shadows in bo3? Thats bad ass
Brandon Wright Its an honorable death
Johan Jasnih yes
Johan Jasnih now when I think of that it should be a Achievement were you have to be in a server with m shadows
a7x is for grog interfacers and zer0s hell yeah lol
Yeah, but I want to know the intro song in this video. If any of you know.

For the next Treyarch game we need a7x as playable characters in a zombies map.
Haha hell yeah
I would reset the game over and over until of got the rev
I'd definitely be okay with this.
hopefully they do this for bo4 blackout
Hell yes
Everyone's goal now is to find matt shadows on xbox😂
I think there was a comp awhile back where if you won you got his GT
Back when black ops 2 came out they had a game with celebrities going on with Xbox gamers with fame I got a chance to play bunch a rounds with M Shadows and his crew. He's a awesome down to earth guy.
American Bassist I've tried for years😂
Im pretty sure his gamer tag is Ripachoo4zu I kept pausing the video until I could see it right before it blurred
Manny Gutierrez nope 🤐 I can say nothing more
Wow, he’s a father now....that’s crazy
Tarunjeet Singh it took a while too hit.... i need a life now
A daddy of two, at that! River's a clone of his dad, it's kind of alarming
His kid is named Rev (or Nicknamed)
GamersGet Rekt Could be a nickname, but I'm pretty sure it was "Riv".
GamersGet Rekt His son’s name is River, but he calls him ‘Riv’ :) sounds close to ‘rev’ though.
I wish i had M.Shadows on my friends list. He is the absolute best.
He has such a cute smile
A gamer built like a tank
Alec Fisher ikr
DereMemo You must be attracted to people who are anorexic or bullemic.
Hes for sure not as cut and muscular as a few years ago but defenitely wouldnt say hes fat either
DereMemo he's definitely not like he was 10 years ago but he's in his 30s now so it's ok. But the mshadows from around the self titled album era was definitely jacked up
George Bedrin he's not fat by any means. It just looks like he doesn't work out like he used to so his muscles have lost their density.

A7X foREVer \m/

JSkeleton bro, can u tell what's the song playing in the intro at 0:19 pls...
M D Pretty sure it’s just some background music they put. Doesn’t sound like an A7X song.
Agreed bro, rock on
\m/
Damn his son is so lucky
Will Satoshi yep
no, his wife is so lucky
Yep
@@xtearzx0fxbloodx that too
I have nightmare, shepherd of fire, and not ready to die as my background music on bo3 instead of the stock ones
Still not bored of hearing them every time before I play zombies
Triggered Snowflake Fuck yes boi
Garbage Gang add unbound to that and play mob or origins maybe shadows or revelations
Nightmare being the best hehe
1:33 heart broke
oh the controller...
even his shortsis Avenged Sevenfold too
Omnivora Man Did you really just say "short pants"?
There called mosh shorts
Brandon Johnson short pants is wrong words??
Omnivora Man They're shorts... You either wear pants, or shorts. Not short pants or long shorts.
I am soo grumpy that the Avenged Sevenfold Scuf controller isn’t available in Australia. I want one so bad.
Great gamer, better singer
3:15 river has his mom's smile
Imagine playing online games with m shadows oh fuck
JLOGHJK oh i see what you did there xd
I've got chance to play a few rounds with him and his friends back in black ops 2! On Xbox pretty cool dude! He's good too!!
Your tragic fate is looking so clear
TrigunVS what gt?
She Wolf I seen him in once in a life time sometimes and I jump into his game.
Am i the only one that noticed him call his son rev?
He said "Riv" because his son's name is River, they do sound very similar though
Paras Chopra I like the idea of that, although his middle name IS James.
His sons name is rev LMAO YALL DIDNT KNOE THAT
Mechkanism its river and it is cool that he shorten it to make it sound like rev lol
The Memer no i noticed that too
it's your house, you can't lose - M.Shadows
I had no idea A7X made the music in BO3! That’s badass. Can’t wait to see what they do for BO4
Im in love with his voice😍😍
Farlié LaCroix me too 😍 He must be a space alien hahaha
He has such a nice
Dudes fucking hott.
Love u babe
@@jenniperkins4260 hi
Every time he brings up jimmy you can tell he’s still sad about it
New Mortal Kombat character: The Rev
Oh hell yes
His fatality is stabbing someone 50 fucking times, ripping their heart out right before their eyes, and eating it
@@gamedudeyo662 good one 😂
Drums the enemies head and exposes brains : fatality
his fatality : double ride thing
Man, a very very amazing, and cool side of the man M.Shadows!
The Gaming M.Shadows would be a beautiful RUclips channel. And when playing blackops 2, he doesn't need to mute the music cause he's one of the creators of those soundtracks! Haha!
Aww him and his kids almost made me tear up, he’s so sweet towards them
I have like 20 days playtime in bo3 but I never knew the music in the multiplayer was a7x. I mean honestly how did I never notice?
SkyZgone I think it’s hard to tell cause it’s like a mix of instruments and some digital stuff, if ya know what I mean lol
Jade Helm!
Looking back on it now I totally hear their style. The level up rank sounds, etc.
When Matt talked to his kid I was like “ I knew he had a kid “ also I knew that video games helped him with the Rev being dead
He has a really distinct voice, she should try singing in a band
She?
@@Simon.Ghost.Riley.lmao
This is awesome!
Yeah, and I think M. Shadows is screaming during the show in one word very, very long: "Yeaaaaaaaaa...ooooooooooooooh...!!!"
A SCUF A7X CONTROLLER? TAKE MY GOD DAMN MONEY: holy shit 300 likes
Its 200 bucks ish but its really nice
well i need to get 200 bucks
scufgaming.com/eu/avenged-scuf-infinity1 There is also a ps4 version
"god damn"....see what you did there
was not intended but ok lol
Being m shadows son must be the best thing ever, asking him everything about his shows, teach you how to scream, play piano, play videogames, hanging out. Meeting the rest of the band probably every day omg that would be fantastic
M Shadows!! Love the vid. Well done.
What a legend! Hail to Shadows!
Is no one else noticing his custom A7X Xbox?! M Shadows is the Giga Chad of the millennium
Just a great dude right there. Been my favorite band since i first saw them play with soad MANY years ago when i was just a teen. Meeting Avenged Sevenfold is on my bucket list!
Probably cost the band like $20k just to move his consoles around on tours
James Andrews worth it
Worth the money dude
He is kinda the boss anyways
James Andrews not really, most of those containers are done in $5000-$6000 shipping partitions, you basically fit as much as you can into the allocated space, and if you can’t fit it all in, you hire another container.

Worth it
Imagine being casual friends with M. Shadows and getting to play games with him all the time
Hearing Matt say that he likes the _Legend of Zelda_ games just makes me like him more, that series is so good
I would freak if I randomly ran into Shadows online!
Rolling Stones magazine is propaganda but i love Avenged Sevenfold so......
How’s it propaganda?
MrShaunh99 yeah i want to know why too

so nice that 2 my favourite types of art - videogames and rock music are cool together) cant live without both of them
M Shadows son is one of the luckiest kids in the whole world
If M. Shadows ever makes a gaming channel I’m subscribing to it
Soo no one is going to talk about the Sullivan poster/frame on the wall?
I would love to see matt's reaction when the new zelda got anounced today
I wonder how good Matt would be at zombies
anthony mendez he said in an old interview he's not really good haha
1:30
When he explains how he could isolate when he lost Rev, but that he had online friends , and that allowed him to separate from reality enough to heal basically
He looks so much better aged and with facial hair
Matt Shadows is a classic gamer level James Rolfe and that's why he has all my respect
If he's going to make another game, I would love to see some retro inspiration, indie developmers are making all kind of gems these days
(Also, I really love the band)
I love how his a gamer aswell 😁
"Chicks dig gamers...they didnt used to..." Legendary words that ring so true today. Amen to that.
This makes me love M. Shadows even more.
#mutualfeelings
4:02 that is the smirk of a man who KNOWS his wife can’t do anything about his mortal combat machines!
I really wanted to see his gtag, I want to add Matt on Xbox lol
Matt Jones Good luck kiddo

@@predat0r178 and could even have the start off by playing Scream, that would be epic.

Wow another side of M. Shadows
Tq to this channel 👍🔥
M. Shadows playing Call Of Duty? Now that’s Fire!
I mean their music has been on COD
@@jeremynelson5311 really? I had no idea
2:36 Ahh, that explains why the little music tracks were pretty metal particularly that Thrash riff when the match starts. \m/
*tries to look for his GT in gameplay. See’s it blurred out* “WHY M. SHADOWS!? WHY!?” *cries in corner* 😭
In b4 his GT is just M_Shadows69 :D
I am in love with that little kid, he’s so adorable
I can imagine him metal screaming at the game during an intense match lmao, brb, finding M. Shadows gamertag

Rock/Metal Music and video games is what makes life great
Absolutely awesome 👌👌👌👌👌
his voice is awesome. both singing and talking lol
I love them since Need for Speed Most Wanted on PSP!!!
I love this. Matt is always so down to earth.
Unfortunately, I'll have to kick his butt in MK, MK2 or Street Fighter 2 if I ever get the chance 😂
M Shadows is out making millions playing music in front of the entire world while I sit in bed playing video ga.... Oh wait.
Brandon Noneya he’s as real down to earth as a guy can get
Hes living the perfect life
"Chicks dig gamers, dude."
Cmon Shads dont lie to him 😂
Matt should do a twitch channel
He should start a gaming channel! Maybe he could play some games with his fans! That would be super dope! He seems like such a down to earth guy and I think hanging out with fans would be awesome!

I thought it was Jared Dines in the thumbnail.
Jared Dines kinda dresses up like M Shadows
@@z_vizo4594 he's shads wannabe
this is amazing. Mortal Kombat arcade is an awesome addition. I remember playing it at the arcade in the mall as a kid.

Still makes me happy to know he named his son after his friend. R.I.P Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan.
foREVer
John Sarabia his sons' names are River and Cash
@@susansparks4763 the Rev fullname is James Sullivan. Matt put James as his sons middle name, River & Cash James Sanders
No one really knows that for sure. His son name is River Sanders. Not the Rev.
i always love you Matt!
why are there two tv's right next to each other in each others way lol
He's got his TV on the wall which is part of his house setup. He's got a Monitor on top of what seems to be a touring case which I assume is the Monitor he brings on tour! :)

Christianspiller BenQs are used by console gamers a ton as well. Most competitive console gamers use BenQs or other similar gaming Monitors. Especially at Tournaments and Events like Call of Duty World League.
I started crying watching this
Idk if it’s me or does his son resemble The Rev?
FuZe_Square In a way
Val is gonna have some explaining to do...
Tye Cruz No, his name is River. That said, his middle name IS James.
No
Rev fucked matts girl
Sullivans is a legend
