- I had a lot of fun playing Second heartbeat by Avenged sevenfold on the streets of Montreal, Canada. For a7x fans that are wondering, I had to edit certain parts and cut the original song to make it shorter. Thank you for understanding.
The video was shot around the University of Concordia and people's reaction was great!

The original song called Second Heartbeat is owned by the band Avenged sevenfold.
It's so funny how most people disregard metal as a bunch of noise without melody, then when a metal song is transposed onto an instrument like the piano without them knowing, they really enjoy it. At its core, metal is just as complex and melodic as most of the great genres out there. People just need an example like this to showcase that.
Yup. I once showed someone an orchestral cover of a Black Dahlia Murder song and they thought it was cool and then I showed them the original and they cringed and hated it.
I love that you exist.
Paras Chopra Makes total sense
That's not funny at all
@@STARNPRODUCTIONS Ironic, tragic, sad, disappointing. Whatever you wanna call it dude.
This was amazing. The best part is that those people sitting around watching you have no idea a heavy metal band wrote that song
that's why music is shit, because fucktards like you care more about the look instead of the music....
Nope i care about the music, that's the problem. They are only doing shit since nightmare.
The Stage is amazing in my opinion, what don't you like about it?
No it's maximum shit, 0 inspiration, basic riffing, bad solos, totally useless album. Try to listen real bands :( don't know, for example the last oathbreaker record.
Open your mind to metal, don't stay on the basics, or mainstream shitty stuff.
I'm actually more of a progressive metal fan, Opeth, Gojira, Mastodon, 3 of my favorites. Never heard of Oathbreaker but I'll definitely check them out. However I wouldn't say that The Stage is a basic metal album. Just because a band is very famous doesn't make them main stream either, because The Stage is not mainstream. Hail to the King was definitely a "mainstream" album that got a lot of radio hits and had simple riffs and drums but The Stage is far from that, in my opinion that is. The solos are incredible if you ask me, and definitely harder to play than most of their older songs. The drums are also good, as well as the vocal melodies they decided to use. Very weird but creative singing over the music. I also love the concept they went with. The Stage doesn't catch your ear as much as nightmare, self titled, or city of evil at first listen but after digesting the songs and listening back a few times I think Avenged Sevenfold really went outside of the box on this album. I'm not mad at you for disliking it, music is music. There is no right or wrong answer to whether this album is good or not. Thank you for voicing your opinion with me.
Jimmy the rev would be proud of this bro
papepicit fir That's so sad
agreeeee
For sure
As his "little brother" so he used to call me,, i advocate on this statement.
He sees it from the Heaven
NEEEVVVEEERRRRR BEEE THEEE SAAAMMEEEE!!!!!!!
foREVer
MR TINKERTRAIN
Woooooooooo
MY LIFE YOU ALWAYS BEEN THEREEEEE!!!!!!!!
This needs more fucking recognition. It's just brilliant.
Just A Metalhead unfortunately he can’t because of idiots like lil pump
@@markshayy8118 so true
It's amazing that such an aggressive and fast song wouldn't sound out of place in a classical concert when played on a piano. Highlights the musicianship and skill that often goes overlooked in metal
Guitar is a lot harder than piano. Plus it is a piano if you want it to be.
You absolutely translated a metal song into a classical melody that pleases every person who listens to it!!! And anyone who knows this song can instantly sing along with it!!! Great performance!!
James R thanks, I am glad there are many people who understand why I played it that way!
GKLife27 Don't mention it man!!! You did an amazing job! The thing is that....we need more covers like this one from you!!!😊
Metal is more closely related too classical than any other music. Basically any good metal song with melodies played on a piano will sound like classical music. Metal is for people who have a natural great taste in music.
Drew Johnson Well, I can't agree more with you man! I used to play keyboard and then moved to guitar and there are many similarities.
As tiiiime passes byyyyy
Regrets for the rest of my liiifeee... 💓💓
My 2 favorite replies ❤😉
Landon Caviness ohh ohhh ohhh ohhh uh ohhh ohh oh ohhohho
I read this comment with a melody
Shit. I'm shedding tears bro. I'm actually one of the biggest A7X's fans. And to hear you play a cover for this song, I couldn't be happier.
Thanks Arry! I would like to upload a few more covers now that I have less work
Damn bro! The pleasure is mine :D. But could you please also make a cover for I Won't See You Tonight Part 1 & Warmness on the Soul?
Sounds like I've take it for granted, but I would really love to see that, mate! XD
GKLife27 almost easy has good piano in it so that's a good one and little piece of heaven is also good.
Saaaame
Oh my god, if was with the audience I would've screamed so loud, second heartbeat is my all time favourite song and u played it incredibly!
People: Wow! This is so calm!
Real Song: WEEE KEEEEP WRIIIITING TAALKIIIIIIIIIIING AAAAND PLAAAANIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Caleb England eeeevvveryone knows what to do but no one does it!!!!!!!!!
And..i feel time passes by..regrets for the rest of my life
Sorrow..sank deep inside my blood..all the ones around me i cared for..and most of all i loved..but i cant see myself that way..please dont forget me..or cry when im away
I dont know the answers..but neither do youuu..
Hope will fall with broken wings...

Second heartbeat
I wont see you tonight part 1 or 2
Remenissions
Radiant eclipse
Clairvoyant diesese
They head spinning
@My autism is exacerbated saying this, but Desecrate Through REVerence
Second Heartbeat is my most favorite song out of Waking The Fallen. This piano cover interpretation is so beautiful! Thank you!!
This makes it sound like something off of Dream Theater’s Metropolis Part 2
I agree! I can hear it on some parts
The Rev played the piano and I bet that if he was still alive he would be blown a away from how phenomenal you are at this music! Awesome job bro!!!
I’m still coming back to this video this is one of the most beautiful covers I’ve ever heard
This is sweet. Too bad most the people in the area probably had no idea what song it was, they deff seemed to enjoy it regardless though haha.
Yeah, sounds pretty much like classical music at some points lol (specially the chorus)
Roberto Nome A lot of metal, especially power metal, have major classical influences. It’s really cool to point out once you notice them
They'd be the first ones to dismiss it as noise.
I dont think thats true, montreal love metal
1:20 two in my heart have left me a while. I stand alone..
when they get back, it won't be the same
Best part😍
Easy to see the connection between metal and classical like this. Beautifully done!
Not one person head banging..
They probably think it's Mozart then.
Even as a beautiful piano piece I still catch myself headbanging. It's so badass.
I would do that if im there
I do head banging left to right 😁
Holy shit man
Thanks for the support bro!
I was thinking the entire time, naw he's gonna skip the solo, nope didn't skip it, just absolutely crushed it.
GKLife27 please do more of these sir
I had this big ass smile on my face the moment you played the opening guitar melody, and it stayed there throughout. Fantastic cover.
I never get tired of watching your video, thanks for playing a song from my favorite band, brother hug from Argentina
I never understood how people can critical of such a great cover, I'm just glad these people don't comment on my piano covers since I've only been playing the piano for less than a year.
I love the key and the adrenaline that this song gives and the melodic progressions
how do you not have like 1000000 subscribers? I mean this just BLEW ME AWAY. Just absolutely unbelievable.
So good man the guys would be proud of you man good job and such a good song
bet that no one around him knew the song xD
Zaacky19 wish I was there high as fuck...would've been singing my heart out
you will ruin this video if you sing there, just headbang hard!
What would of been funny is a guy that knew the song that just happened to have a guitar with him starting playing along.
after seeing this I really wonder how awesome chapter 4 would be if you did a solo piano cover of it
Keeping that groove seems so hard on piano. Well done!
I watch this a few times a year just to get some feeling back in my soul. This may be one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard.
i had no idea this piece of work could sound so epic when played solo on a piano. You really rocked that one, sure hope i can give a second like
thats why I fell in love with metal.
I have no idea this song can be more wonderful like this. I love A7X. But this touch is new for me, and i loved it!!
Extreme chill on the couch with in-ear earbuds, hoodie and sound proof headphones (Safety). AMAZING 😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻. A7X everyday in my ears. YEAH ❤🦇
WHAT A GREAT JOB DUDE!!! UNBELIEVABLE
Thank you
I'm on a public bus and suddenly I'm headbanging to a guy playing a piano!
Serious talent, great version mate :)
THIS IS LITERALLY SO AMAZING!
As an A7X fan from the early 2007s - 2011s, this was certainly very beautiful to hear. I never knew I wanted an A7x piano renditions/covers that badly
This perfectly shows the fact that metal is the closest genre to classical
Plot twist: The audience knew it was Second Heartbeat and stayed because they couldn’t believe their ears.
Wow. This is just incredible! You absolutely nailed this song, which has been one of my favorites since I was a teenager. Truly impressive, man!
wonderful cover!! i wanna hear all a7x songs cover by you
Rolisica Yu almost easy has good piano in it so that's a good one to do.
After fading away from metal and going more towards classical music, this brings me much joy
unholy confession please
Impossible
Amazing! I really hope we can see more of Avenged Sevenfold from you. Cheers \m/
Never thought how perfect this song is for piano. Especially the outro solo
I keep coming back to this video, it’s amazing!

I dont watch much piano covers but you did indeed a great job! :)
I’ve seen this like 15+ times over the years and I never don’t appreciate it
I do not regret having this in my recommendations.
I'm A7X fans and this is so amazing especially the last part..
almost 4 years and i still love it
Just wow...
Cold feels all around my neck and my back, going all the way on the skin of my body, even fingers. Thank you for that.
The arpeggios sound so good on piano!
That was awesome!!!!!!
This is why we need 2 guitars in metal. Look at his left hand when playing those blocks. Awesome buddy!!!
A great song will always be a great song no matter how it is played
It makes me to watch again LBC live of this song. Best piano cover of A7X so far 🤍
One word : Amazing !
THIS DESERVES THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO STAND THERE AND CLAP FOR HIM NON STOP
Wow you are a legend if I saw that in real life I don't know what I'd do I can't believe you nailed the solo
Got goosebumps about halfway through and stayed until the end. Great performance!
So Awesome Piano Cover...
Loved it
Wow!!!!! Awesome. This is classic
The Rev is pleased with this you nailed the song perfectly he is looking down on all of us Deathbats

All of Jimmy's song .. sounds so heavy with the Band playing.
N when covered on a piano.. so f*****g melodic. Touches the soul..
Wow amazing!! Wish I was there
I'm speechless bro, You should have millions of hits
Brilliant cover GKLife. You didn't miss a note and you even did the solo part of the song. This is one of my favourite A7X songs and you did an awesome job. I am definitely subscribing to your channel.
That's the piano in front of Concordia! I like how it's synced up to look like the live performance. Great job!
Keep doing this amazing job....great musician ....great choice...perfect
Oh man! This was just amazing. Keep doing what you do! You have my support!
Absolutely amazing!!
everyone in the shot thinks this is a classical song its played so well and transcribed amazingly
Dude with that talent - I believe M. Shadows, Synyster Gates, J. Christ and Z. Vengeance will be proud, keep going - your doing a great job. Well Done
I rekon if the crowd knew this was a metal song they would walk off. Upsets me the stigma metal has now. But regardless, incredible how you managed to translate this so well onto piano
absolute beauty
Wow! No words, i love It fantastic cover.. The Rev was a true composer but in a music genre with no popularity 😢
I have the feeling those people would diss the original song, but seem to love this version
This was amazing, please make more videos like this
Would love to see you cover The Black Dahlia Murder 🤘🏽 You carry melodies very well & smoothly 🔥🔥
you hve the hands of a god i wish you did lessons so i could learn your blessed with the speed you hve the solo blew me away i watched it over and over
GREAT WORK DUDE!!!!!!!
