I just stumbled across your channel while watching reviews. I have to says your absolutely amazing. Entertaining, funny and smart!!!! My favorite reaction channel so far!! I see you love SIMON AND GARFUNKEL. Please review EMINEM'S new Darkness song. Tribute to them. Powerful song!!!!
I love how every avenged fan clicks on this video just to make sure the wrong things aren’t said. This comes to show how close the a7x family is. We may not know one another but no matter what somehow we’re there for one another. #ripREV
I’ve never been the biggest metal fan, but I know good music when I hear it. I fell in love with this songs msg, even before understanding what the song was about. Almost 6 years later, I still almost tear up listening to it.
Anyone who say metal is just "noise", is an absolute closed minded person. I dont look like I listen to metal. But it speaks to me in a totally relative way, more then any other genre of music.
metal resonated way more to me. there are fun songs, there is about mental health, anger, sadness etc. all the raw emotions. just something nice to listen to. punk has always been the fuck the system kinda thing. todays popular music makes me gag
Also this song was dedicated to their drummer, The Rev, who had died and with whom they had been friends since their childhood. So this was a very emotional song for them and 10 years later, they still choke up while performing this song. #FoREVer
@@elisabethenglisch3835 Syns guitar solo is a masterpiece... It makes everything so emotional and then M.Shadows comes in with the last part... It's a masterpiece and they couldn't have written a better song to remember and honor The Rev
Nathan Thomas whilst I agree with what your saying about this song, and the video is an amazing tribute to the “REV”, and yes I saw them live when they brought out the ‘Nightmare’ album, why bring Jesus into your comment as a cuss word.....
Faith n’ Fitness because not everyone shares the same values or beliefs you do. Don’t push your beliefs on other people. Especially in a damn RUclips comment section.
bryce4210 I wasn’t pushing, I was asking, thank you very much, would any of you use ya parents name as a cuss word, I doubt it, or if I did, ya wouldn’t like it would ya, goodbye 👋🏻
Faith n’ Fitness wtf are you talking about? Using a parents name?? Haha bye then be pissed because your views aren’t believed or appreciated by others 😂
I remember being a teenager and hearing about the Rev's death. I felt horrible about his loss after following him for so long. I knew Nightmare was going to be a deep album. When it came out, I was not disappointed at all. I remember hearing so far away for the first time. ForRever. M. Shadows is an amazing singer.
I remember exactly where I was when I found out. Me and my friend were playing basketball at his house and I checked my phone and found out. We had just gone to see them live a few months prior.
My brother died around the same time. Id play this album every single day. It felt like we were healing together and getting through it. Im so grateful for that album 💜
Agreed. I was watching an interview where he explained that going into their second album he wanted to transition from just screaming to more well-written (musically and lyrically) melodies and harmonies. They would scream where they didn't know what else to do haha. They haven't let us down, even after Jimmy's passing (RIP). "Set Me Free" just dropped and it's really good, if you haven't heard it yet! 😊
Rebecca needs to see this. It's such a fantastic song, then just adding the fact that he really does just go all out and really shows what he can do. Just so amazing.
I have a tattoo of handcuffs, with "The Rev" as part of the chain, with his birth and death days in the cuffs. Alt Press chose it as one of the ones they put in the Avengers special edition. 😊
This song always gets me so emotional. Hits me hard. Jimmy, the drummer, is one of my favorite drummers and one of biggest influences as a drummer, so this one hits home a lot for me. The vocal part at the end gives me chills every time!
Dammit I miss Jimmy and this song makes me cry every time. My best friend Mark and I loved this band and he passed away not long ago, now I can hardly listen to my favorite band without breaking down and missing him. His parents asked me to pick the music for his funeral. This song was on the playlist.
Ben Gallaty thank you. Man we used to laugh so hard at that chasing geese video! I never feel closer to him, and I never miss him more, than when I am listening to A7X.
Yeah, that would be great. That night had so many great songs. My favorite is probably the live performance of A Little Piece Of Heaven on that concert. The moment when Matt sings the duet with the REV! Absolutely amazing!!!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR REACTING TO A7X They are so talented and I hope you will continue to keep an eye on them since eventho M.Shadows range isn't that big, the things he does with his voice is CRAZY

The back up vocals that you hear in the chorus is Shadows. While playing live Synyster does the backing. That is one of the reason why Matt shadows is one of the most versatile singer of the 21st century, and unfortunately metal fans hate that. And loved the reaction 😁.
It's funny how people hate on metal so much like if they could do it better. I'd love to see any lil pump or 6ix 9ine fan pick up a guitar and play perfect riffs and solos
This is one of the songs I listened to on repeat for days while trying to overcome my depression. This band saved my life multiple times. And sing and feeling the emotions when seeing The Rev is beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time
I’ve never struggled with suicidal thoughts, but I can imagine that hearing something this emotional and relatable would keep me alive. If only for a night. I watched my som cry over this song when he was 3. He didn’t understand why he was so emotional, and it taught him a huge lesson. He’s a happy kid, and we just got home from Breaking Benjamin and Alice & Chains.

Hahaha here I was, having lunch in public and watching this, thinking “it’s okay, the song won’t get to me this time” and lo and behold, I’m now in tears in public. As soon as he hit the “I love you, you were ready” I was done for.
YEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!Like others are saying, I haven’t clicked on a video so fast before!!! Avenged Sevenfold is my absolute FAVORITE band!!!! If you can’t tell I am super stoked right now!!!!! Please cover more Avenged you will not regret it.....if you Witness the change in the lead singer, M.Shadows, voice you will appreciate it even more. He has had to have vocal surgery due to years of screaming during his early years, and has learned to manage his voice since then. From their sounding the seventh trumpet days until now it’s amazing how much they have changed yet still pull in some of their original sound. The back up vocals you hear are the guitarists and some of them are there late drummer. They have worked with string quartets, percussionists, brass, and various other types of musicians, they truly are amazing. They have many influences, a lot of bands that you’ve covered including Pantera. When Jimmy The Rev Sullivan died I was heartbroken, but they have honored their brother and now have a new drummer who he was a fan of and is an amazing drummer as well. I’ve seen them several times live and they’re the real deal, great group of guys. Anyway, sorry for the long winded post......carry on, nothing to see here, lol, except for the fact that YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!
When Matt puts power into his voice it’s so...unique. I’m not a singer so I don’t know the proper terms to describe the sound but it’s so powerful. And yes, Synyster Gates is amazing with the guitar lol.
I've heard this song easily hundreds of times and still get a bit emotional at that crescendo. Less for the Rev (although still sad about his passing) but I had a friend back when who's no longer with me. RIP Keith Otterson, forever my friend forever loved forever missed.
This song never fails to make me cry, I get exactly how they felt because I had to deal with he loss of my brother. He suffered so much. The song describes everything so perfectly. A7X one of my favorite bands. Thanks for your reaction to this song
I think my favorite part about this video is how she actually did research into the song, i think that this song in particular is very important to know the backstory of
I love how hard you try not to swear when you react, Rebecca But when you do its so lovely, because thats what music is about - that release of emotion
Avenged sevenfold- Roman sky (live at the grammy museum) there you have the music stripped down to acoustic and Matt makes me get goosebumps everytime i hear it 💕
I do wish people would stop recommending this song to reaction channels and such.... it is a shock piece, but it also tends to put reactors off A7X indefinitely
@@Bookofwords agreed, and you can't hear the words in the live version either. Why people recommend it to people who don't know the song or the band, I don't know
im so sorry but its been over 10 years for me and i completely forgot The Rev passed away. thank you for reminding me of such a sweet drummer. i cant believe i forgot. thank you.
This is my second favorite group, and I have loved this song for years. Unexpected side effect of watching you watch this video - you helped me experience it emotionally like never before. You are a pretty special person, one can tell from the way you feel feelings.
Fucking love this band they have heart and soul in their music I grew up with them musically and I am the same age. I get their music and the meaning of it.
Lost my grandmother not too long ago and she was a massive part of my life. She was the one who taught me to read, taught me how to press through trials, showed me how to tie a tie... Basically taught me everything I needed to know about the start of life. The week before that I lost my great aunt, her sister, to stage four cancer. I was so numb and in denial to it all. Then I listened to this, it brought it all up, all the pain, all the hurt, everything came up all at once. I needed to hear this to put her to rest in my own mind.
Matt's had 3 vocal cord surgery's and still sounds amazing even though he cant put as much distortion as he used to...avenged sevenfold is the best band EVER!!
I know im a bit late. But i still remember the first time i listened to this song 6 or 7 years ago. Will always be my most favorite ,the feelings i get cannot be described ♡
as someone who can only listen to this song when nobody's around because i'll scream if it gets interrupted, this was very difficult for me to watch... but it was also so worth it
Will never forget seeing them a few months after my mom passed (Nightmare as a whole hits way different now) and he did a small speech before this song about losing loved ones and all that and I broke down in hysterics before the song even started. Still one of my faves. Always will be.
I think the most hauntingly relevant line is “I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could”... The Rev was born with an enlarged heart, which would eventually had led to a terminal condition. A7X also has a song called “Brompton Cocktail” which foreshadows how he died.
I love how you engage not just with the technical side of singing, but also with the lyrics and the emotional side. I thought what you said about the main body of the song being almost conversational, like a casual reminiscence of a lost friend among other friends, was really insightful. I'd love to see you react to a couple of tracks (I hope suggesting two isn't some sort of commenting taboo!): - Bent Knee - Holy Ghost (Live at Record Co.) - Leprous - Slave (Live at Rockefeller Music Hall)
I am glad that you enjoyed the song Rebecca. That is my favorite song by one of my most favorite musical acts past or present. The song and album came out a few years before my grandmother and uncle passed away whom I had lived next door to for my entire life. It was a very emotional time and this extremely emotional song really hit home with me. Anywho, keep up the great work and I will surely be back to check out your professional/personal opinions of musicians and how they sing. Cheers!!!
Ugh I still remember it like yesterday hearing about rev 😩😩 I’m so thankful I had the chance to meet him for a minute and get his autograph. So talented. I’m still heart broken.
This song was a dedication to their brother, their drummer, The Rev. Rest in peace, Jimmy. I lost my mother to cancer so this song has a deeper meaning to it now...Love you, Ma...
Oof I really hope you react to more of their stuff !! Especially if you wanna hear anything live, basically anything from the LBC show is wonderful, and is also when their drummer (Jimmy the Rev) is still alive. Great reaction!!
1:50: 'More to come, maybe not in this video, but more power in his voice' - Me: Oh you have no idea. 2 days after my Birthday. Best late present ever. Live at Rock Am Ring in 2014 is an example of him nailing it live (if you discount the slight voice crack when he breaks up during the emotional bit in the ending
You MUST react to God Hates Us live at Rock am Ring 2011 by Anenged Sevenfold. That was M.Shadows' (the singer) voice at its absolute peak. You're going to love it!
I would love to see you react to their best song which is "A Little Piece of Heaven". (Fair Warning) It's a gruesome song but there are so many vocals you can analyze in the song. The ex-drummer (Jimmy The Rev Sullivan... R.I.P.) and the lead singer (M. Shadows) did most of the vocals on it. It is a master piece that very few rock bands can pull off. They even had the other band members do back up vocals and had a choir come in. It's a dark but beautiful master piece that I feel you can grow to appreciate. Everyone A7X (Avenged Sevenfold) fan loves that song to their core. And I feel, you as a musical artist, will love it too! Hopefully you see this. :) P.S. Love the videos by the way! (Sorry for the Edit) "A Little Piece of Heaven" started out as a simple melody on a piano from the ex-drummer. He was an incredibly creative soul who loved music with a passion. It took them many weeks, if not months, to get the song going in the direction it needed to go. But to have such a dark but master piece of a song like that come from someones mind is incredibly unique and creative! I hope this comment reaches you because the song itself is ten times better then the message. The song shows just how creative and unique Avenged Sevenfold is as a band and why they deserve to be among one of the best metal bands out there!
@@creaturex5705 I was about to type the same thing. My brother died (exactly 10 years after Rev) that doesn't make him my ex brother. He will always be my brother.

They have worked with string quartets, percussionists, brass, and various other types of musicians, they truly are amazing. They have many influences, a lot of bands that you’ve covered including Pantera. When Jimmy The Rev Sullivan died I was heartbroken, but they have honored their brother and now have a new drummer who he was a fan of and is an amazing drummer as well. I’ve seen them several times live and they’re the real deal, great group of guys. Anyway, sorry for the long winded post......carry on, nothing to see here, lol, except for the fact that YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!
M.Shadows is underrated, this guy is the best modern metal vocalist.
EXACTLY! No one compares. Love this group they’re so real and close
Agreed
David Draiman and Andy Biersack also have iconic and powerful voices.
@Simone Franchini those guys are the modern goats
Underated? A7X is like top 10 rock bands in the world lol
This song makes me absolutely weep every time, it's so beautiful and full of love
Ugh RIP Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan.... Avenged is one of my favorite bands... So many powerful songs I never get tired of
When Matt puts power into his voice it’s so...unique. I’m not a singer so I don’t know the proper terms to describe the sound but it’s so powerful.
And yes, Synyster Gates is amazing with the guitar lol.
I've heard this song easily hundreds of times and still get a bit emotional at that crescendo. Less for the Rev (although still sad about his passing) but I had a friend back when who's no longer with me. RIP Keith Otterson, forever my friend forever loved forever missed.
47 seconds in.
If she says anything bad about Avenged Sevenfold I swear to god.
I'm gonna hate her
Don’t worry, all positivity
Tbf theyre definitely not as good as when they had the rev which speaks volume on wht he meant to the band and just how amazing he is
If she does send her to The Rev he’ll handle it
Shark Vlogs And Gaming
That’s rather disrespectful to him
ALSO for some of the backing vocals were from The Rev since they wanted to use them for another ballad.
This song never fails to make me cry, I get exactly how they felt because I had to deal with he loss of my brother. He suffered so much. The song describes everything so perfectly. A7X one of my favorite bands. Thanks for your reaction to this song
I think my favorite part about this video is how she actually did research into the song, i think that this song in particular is very important to know the backstory of
I love how hard you try not to swear when you react, Rebecca
But when you do its so lovely, because thats what music is about - that release of emotion
This song is dedicated to Avenged Sevenfold’s drummer who died last 2009. RIP James Sullivan aka Sully. Gone too soon but not forgotten
It was originally written about Syn's grandpa.
Avenged sevenfold- Roman sky (live at the grammy museum) there you have the music stripped down to acoustic and Matt makes me get goosebumps everytime i hear it 💕
"The future doesn't even exist!"
That got nihilistic fast. Excellent.
A little piece of heaven Live you must see! Showcases the Rev (Old drummer and vocalist this song was for) and M. Shadows voices amazingly! 💙❤️
It would be perfect live at LBC since she's a vocal coach
I do wish people would stop recommending this song to reaction channels and such.... it is a shock piece, but it also tends to put reactors off A7X indefinitely
@@Bookofwords she should react to it but live, cause everyone sings and it doesn't have the impact of the video
@@LuisSilva-lo6ib I mean... i just don't think its a good song for her specifically to react to in my opinion
@@Bookofwords agreed, and you can't hear the words in the live version either. Why people recommend it to people who don't know the song or the band, I don't know
im so sorry but its been over 10 years for me and i completely forgot The Rev passed away. thank you for reminding me of such a sweet drummer. i cant believe i forgot. thank you.
casey? James, or Jimmy is his name?..
@@mysk6977 i honestly have no idea why i said casey 🤣
The emotion from this song gets me every time. Being a fan of A7X from the beginning, losing Jimmy hit me hard. This tribute to the Rev is beautiful
Me too bro
I was so confused with the Hugh Grant scene, at first I thought it was an ad and I was looking to skip it 😂😂
Yes, what was that
You are not the only one. Haha
@@amandahallman7931 that was a scene from a movie called "four weddings and a funeral". If that is what you were asking.
It pops up in her videos every once in awhile. I think its just a weird way to avoid copywrite infringement.
8:28 "It was rich, soo much emotional and love" yes indeed, because this song is a farewell song for the loved one they lost
Awesome song!!! Very cool and I love your reactions.
This is my second favorite group, and I have loved this song for years.
Unexpected side effect of watching you watch this video - you helped me experience it emotionally like never before. You are a pretty special person, one can tell from the way you feel feelings.
Fucking love this band they have heart and soul in their music I grew up with them musically and I am the same age. I get their music and the meaning of it.
Saw the notification and instaclicked. Beautiful song. One of my all time favorites
I can never make it through that snare line without my eyes watering
I rarely ever cry but watching this made me cry, pretty hard too. A7x got me through a lot back in the day.
Lost my grandmother not too long ago and she was a massive part of my life. She was the one who taught me to read, taught me how to press through trials, showed me how to tie a tie... Basically taught me everything I needed to know about the start of life. The week before that I lost my great aunt, her sister, to stage four cancer. I was so numb and in denial to it all. Then I listened to this, it brought it all up, all the pain, all the hurt, everything came up all at once. I needed to hear this to put her to rest in my own mind.
Brilliant analysis!! I really enjoyed reacting to this one too, such a moving song 🤘
Matt's had 3 vocal cord surgery's and still sounds amazing even though he cant put as much distortion as he used to...avenged sevenfold is the best band EVER!!
I know im a bit late. But i still remember the first time i listened to this song 6 or 7 years ago. Will always be my most favorite ,the feelings i get cannot be described ♡
as someone who can only listen to this song when nobody's around because i'll scream if it gets interrupted, this was very difficult for me to watch... but it was also so worth it
Will never forget seeing them a few months after my mom passed (Nightmare as a whole hits way different now) and he did a small speech before this song about losing loved ones and all that and I broke down in hysterics before the song even started. Still one of my faves. Always will be.
I had a friend, he was a drummer as well, we both loved this band and many more, he sadly passed away so this always makes me cry. RIP Donaven.
I think the most hauntingly relevant line is “I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could”...
The Rev was born with an enlarged heart, which would eventually had led to a terminal condition. A7X also has a song called “Brompton Cocktail” which foreshadows how he died.
I love how you engage not just with the technical side of singing, but also with the lyrics and the emotional side. I thought what you said about the main body of the song being almost conversational, like a casual reminiscence of a lost friend among other friends, was really insightful.
I'd love to see you react to a couple of tracks (I hope suggesting two isn't some sort of commenting taboo!):
- Bent Knee - Holy Ghost (Live at Record Co.)
- Leprous - Slave (Live at Rockefeller Music Hall)
I never get emotional with songs but this one made me tear up. Love these guys, RIP The Rev
I am glad that you enjoyed the song Rebecca. That is my favorite song by one of my most favorite musical acts past or present. The song and album came out a few years before my grandmother and uncle passed away whom I had lived next door to for my entire life. It was a very emotional time and this extremely emotional song really hit home with me. Anywho, keep up the great work and I will surely be back to check out your professional/personal opinions of musicians and how they sing. Cheers!!!
This song almost brings me to tears every time I hear it. I’ve loved this band since I was young and knowing the meaning behind it is heartbreaking
Ugh I still remember it like yesterday hearing about rev 😩😩 I’m so thankful I had the chance to meet him for a minute and get his autograph. So talented. I’m still heart broken.
He was the best of the world. Rip
You have a very gifted voice! I wish I had one likes yours-
You do too
@@rva ah no I don't lol
Jimmy is missed, that song has such an emotional weight
RIP the rev
This is my favorite video of 2020 so far. Your reactions make me feel like when I first heard of their music lol.
This song was a dedication to their brother, their drummer, The Rev. Rest in peace, Jimmy. I lost my mother to cancer so this song has a deeper meaning to it now...Love you, Ma...
Oof I really hope you react to more of their stuff !! Especially if you wanna hear anything live, basically anything from the LBC show is wonderful, and is also when their drummer (Jimmy the Rev) is still alive. Great reaction!!
1:50: 'More to come, maybe not in this video, but more power in his voice' - Me: Oh you have no idea.
2 days after my Birthday.
Best late present ever.
Live at Rock Am Ring in 2014 is an example of him nailing it live (if you discount the slight voice crack when he breaks up during the emotional bit in the ending
Anyone suggest she listen to "Wont see You Tonight Part 1" yet
2:12 lol, loved that reaction when first saw Synyster Gates
I love how at 7:24 she seems so proud of him for hitting the big notes, really makes my heart warm
It’d be nice if she understood the context of the song too though.
She has to be infatuated with him..... Aren't we all
Looks like Mike Patton has some competition.
Boris Johnson you’re so right lol.
Absolutely 😍
I just wanna to see your react to (Avenged Sevenfold - A Little Piece Of Heaven)
P.Y.P GAMING Eat it eat it!
Come here you bitch!
that was funny, but honestly that one part in the song in the chorus is very very pretty, and matts voice is amazing
No, please don't. She can't handle it
Definitely my favorite A7X song. Sadly haven't found a karaoke bar that has it yet
Syns second solo in this song always makes me emotional it feels like he pours his heart into playing it
Love Your Blush and Highlight! Absolutely perfect, and you add plenty of explanation towards the singing
its been a while since ive listened to this song. it hit me hard today
Those are literally the voices I make when I hear guitar solos I know
Jimmy “the rev” sullivan was the reason I started drumming, a true legend can’t listen to this song without shedding a tear to this day. #foREVer
I love it how Vocal coaches looks at the muscles in the singers neck, once they let there voice is up and let out.
Damn... I cried again... all these years later and I still cry. Nice reaction.... RIP forever Rev!!
You MUST react to God Hates Us live at Rock am Ring 2011 by Anenged Sevenfold. That was M.Shadows' (the singer) voice at its absolute peak. You're going to love it!
Giorgos Daispyros was thinking this too!
I third that!
It gives me chills!! Love it
Still. Adoring. And introduced my social lady to you! Shes got a lady crush!
I would love to see you react to their best song which is "A Little Piece of Heaven". (Fair Warning) It's a gruesome song but there are so many vocals you can analyze in the song. The ex-drummer (Jimmy The Rev Sullivan... R.I.P.) and the lead singer (M. Shadows) did most of the vocals on it. It is a master piece that very few rock bands can pull off. They even had the other band members do back up vocals and had a choir come in. It's a dark but beautiful master piece that I feel you can grow to appreciate. Everyone A7X (Avenged Sevenfold) fan loves that song to their core. And I feel, you as a musical artist, will love it too! Hopefully you see this. :)
P.S. Love the videos by the way!
(Sorry for the Edit)
"A Little Piece of Heaven" started out as a simple melody on a piano from the ex-drummer. He was an incredibly creative soul who loved music with a passion. It took them many weeks, if not months, to get the song going in the direction it needed to go. But to have such a dark but master piece of a song like that come from someones mind is incredibly unique and creative! I hope this comment reaches you because the song itself is ten times better then the message. The song shows just how creative and unique Avenged Sevenfold is as a band and why they deserve to be among one of the best metal bands out there!
Always been my favorite
It’s hilarious! “ I always knew my lil dish …”
And yes this is true
She made a video about it recently
He’s not the ex drummer by any means.. he’s no longer living tho he’ll always be the drummer of a7x
@@creaturex5705 I was about to type the same thing. My brother died (exactly 10 years after Rev) that doesn't make him my ex brother. He will always be my brother.
The most beautiful rock tribute to a great man. Has me in tears every time even after 1000+ listens. 😢 🖤
I've been digesting that song for years and still brings a tear and gives me goosebumps.
She needs to listen to the unrehearsed acoustic version of this from the Grammy Museum
