I don’t think they screamed together. I think he let it go when he just sings the word live. Don’t hear the scream. If anything that makes Shadow’s voice even better
So this concert would have been some time between the release of their 4th album in 2007 and the drummer's passing in 2009. The lead singer blew out his voice sometime in 2014 and changed his style a bit. This show was legendary for a number of reasons. Glad you are enjoying it.
@@Lyeit I always thought it was special add on just at the end of Taste of Chaos tour, but I think your right when I looked it up, it was part of that tour, I saw them two days later in San Jose
You are right. Hail to the King was the start to the “change” of direction for them. Matt knew it too. That’s why we also got a change to Bullet for my Valentine. They changed for the same reasons. But still kept to the sound in a way.
@@jimmygee3219 no no, he also had a serious issue with his voice around 2014 which got worse around 2016 until now. Listen to his 2018 performance of this song and you’ll notice how bad it sounds. Especially when singing lyrics like “of your afterlife here so stay. He can barely even sing the words in that pitch anymore. Now, if you listen to one of the most recent interviews he explains he had a severe injury to his voice that most singers don’t come back from and ended up on complete vocal rest for a few months
I believe Afterlife was written fully by their drummer Jimmy " The Rev" Sullivan. They said he wrote something like 70 percent of the whole album in total
This was from the Taste of Chaos Tour back in 2008. I attended that show, and by far it still sits at the top for me. I’m glad you’re enjoying their music. New fans are always welcome.
@@1dudecrush Yes, this was at The Long Beach Arena, now Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center. Amazing lineup from bands like Bullet for My Valentine, Atreyu, Idiot Pilot, Blessthefall, and Japanese bands like The Underneath. I had the pleasure of watching The Rev perform live, and it’s a memory that’ll stick with me forever.
@@1dudecrush At the time, I didn’t really see it as a “once in a lifetime” show, I was just there to see bands I like and jump into mosh pits. I’m 34 right now and still doing the same thing. Going to see them again in October in Chula Vista; bought pit tickets.
If you really want a ballad, check out "Seize the Day" from this concert. Literally M. Shadows and Syn channeling Axl Rose and Slash in the best way possible.
This is the third single from their self-titled album. The song features a string orchestra and was written by the band's drummer, The Rev. Some of the songs in the album used strings instrument as background.
its incredible watching or listening to their live performances and then the studio version to appreciate how good they are. They literally sound the same performing live
Critical Acclaim from this concert is really great too!! Has more of the drummer singing. Scream is fun too, and A Little Piece of Heaven. Might as well watch the whole show 😂
10:45 has got to be the most iconic moment of this band That awesome harmony between Shadows and Rev, right into the guitar duel, Syn nailing the solo, Shadows amping it up into a maniacal laugh while Syn just let's that final note ride holding the guitar with a single finger by the whammy like he just accomplished the impossible. Just goddamn iconic.
I'm glad you said the chorus sounds like a ballad. The Rev actually wrote most of this song himself and there is a quote from the DVD from the making of this album that most of the stuff he came up with was very poppy in nature. And it IS a violin. The song features an entire orchestral arrangement. There is a second version of this song from the Diamond In The Rough album that features all the cut parts of the orchestral arrangement.
Totally agreed! And i love Zacky’s voice, he’s such a great singer as well. I love the Misfits cover, and I REALLY love the cover they did of Runaway with Zacky on lead vocals.
Its been YEARS since I've watched this performance, i came here to see a good reaction from a pro....speaking of crushes btw lol. I like your reacts! Good stuff!
RIP The Rev. He was great and brought so much to his friends & the band. I'm guessing this was before M.Shadows had throat surgery. Now the sound is a bit different but still great
First and foremost I wanna say that I’m biased as A7X is my favorite band, but they’re easily top 3 best concert experiences I’ve ever had. And it’s top three because it’s hard to rank them. Secondly, I think you said something super interesting that’s relevant to the band to this day. As you said, they have a unique sound. I remember at the absolute height of their popularity hearing discussions about it, that essentially came down to “They’re too metal for rock and too rock for metal”. They were thrown into the nu-metal/ metalcore sort of category and even then it was still talked about. It just comes down to the fact that they’re themselves, and they’re not afraid to make stuff that their intrigued by. They’re so themselves, that that’s kind of a talking point currently. In the fifteen years that this came out, they’ve evolved and changed as a band. They’re set to release an album early June and it’s the first one in seven years. They’ve released two tracks and it’s much different from what you’re hearing now, and they get compared to the “old” sound. It’s the same with bands like Muse. They evolve, and fans get up in arms about it.
i literally unintentionally hold me breathe when at the end of the chorus matt does the scream with the laugh and syn just yanks his floyd rose to the max to match his scream like REEEEEEEEEEEE gives me goosies lol
When you said the chorus felt almost like a ballad I was like YEAH EXACTLY because that's what makes A7X amazing (my personal opinon ofc). They include so many different elements in a single song like different instruments or choirs, strings, piano etc. and the rhythm & singing style always change, keeping you alive. That's why most of their songs feel like a rollercoaster ride. When the lyrics are also satisfying and meaningful the become such enjoyable art pieces.
Those screams from M Shadows sound more musical because he actually does put his voice into them, which gives them a distinct pitch. He's really good at those.
The first concert I saw on a CD player, the performance was truly amazing, I really liked it, greetings from the biggest fans of A7X from Indonesia☺☺🙏🙏
Never got the chance to get into their music for whatever reason, just didnt happen, but your reactions are super fun and too good to fastforward and stuff, so i just got closer to finally discovering this band thanks to you ❤
They've never been a band to shy away from more classical instrumentation. A lot of people are suggesting A Little Piece of Heaven, which might still be one of their most creative songs from an instrumentation standpoint. It's amazing. Just be aware though that the subject matter of the song is extremely vulgar, it's a twisted love song with murder and some even more disturbing things. They basically told The Rev to write the zaniest, whackiest song he could. Definitely worth a listen though. Unholy Confessions may be my favorite song from this concert too!
You’re right about the bridge. They use an orchestra in the studio for a lot of their songs so it’s just a recording live. Ps. I’d sell one of my kidneys to be able to see just one live show with the Rev
Really enjoying your take on these tracks Ray! You should complete what I consider the other 3 bands from the "big four" of 2000's Metalcore & check out Avenged Sevenfold's contemporaries, them being: Trivium, Bullet For My Valentine & Killswitch Engage. There were other great Metalcore bands during this time for sure but those 4 were definitely making the most waves I'd say, especially from a "mainstream/commercial" perspective. All are incredibly talented bands with great vocalists & they've all been killing it since the early 2000's & are still going today. I would recommend starting with their older/most well known tracks though (anything from early 2000's - 2006 typically)
FYI A7X is making their long awaited comeback next month with a album and tour 👍👍 also have to do the video for So far away it's about the drummer if you didn't know
![Reaction to Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife [Live] THE WOLF HUNTERZ REACTIONS](/img/1.gif)
Can't believe nobody has mention the vocal performance on Gunslinger during this show. Probably one of the most powerful. Still gives me chills.
agreed man
Yep gotta agree love the performance of it in this show. Just so good.
im positive someone has mentioned/posted it. a7x is one of the most popular metal bands of all time.
Also Walk
The entire concert, if u ask me. Total masterpiece
9:15 the Revs "I need another chance to live!" always gives me goosebumps
He needs tho
@@Masilvaaafor real
Even crazier now that he's gone, they play it with his backing vocals and he's not there. It's just so weird.
bro so true!!@Fulbor
@@mjstories7181they have to play them though. No one can sing like Jimmy
the part between 8:09 and 8:59, gives me so much chills, REV and Shadows screaming together its the best sound ever created
I don’t think they screamed together. I think he let it go when he just sings the word live. Don’t hear the scream. If anything that makes Shadow’s voice even better
@@brownfella1830 their voice merges so good together. Shadows voice was so on point around this time. Im glad he came back so good after the pause.
Avenged Sevenfold - A little piece of heaven LIVE LBC
i think we should let her listen to a couple more songs before this one xD
Hell. No. Stop pushing that song on reactors.
Up
Up
yeaah and she need to react the mv too
At this point you've just gotta do every song from Live in the LBC haha. Great reaction
Yes please
I agree. Pls do all the Songs
yessssss
next. seize the day please
PLEASE DO THIS🔥🔥🔥
It ain't just the girls who have a crush on the lead singer🥴
A little piece of heaven Live at the LBC is an absolute must if you want some more of the drummer singing!
Unholy confessions from this concert is absolutely legendary
Fact!!
The problem with this concert is that it ends! they are all legendary
So this concert would have been some time between the release of their 4th album in 2007 and the drummer's passing in 2009. The lead singer blew out his voice sometime in 2014 and changed his style a bit. This show was legendary for a number of reasons. Glad you are enjoying it.
This was the '08 Taste of Chaos tour, so the Long Beach show would have been April 10th, 2008.

He blew his voice out well before 2014. He said his vocal change around 14 was a stylistic decision.
Don’t get me wrong but not a good one but still

One of the BEST live concert recordings ever! Love A7X!
No doubt IMO
I believe Afterlife was written fully by their drummer Jimmy " The Rev" Sullivan. They said he wrote something like 70 percent of the whole album in total
10:34 Dude this part always sends chills down my spine, the way Syns guitar screams along side with Mats scream.. Man
And he’s one handed his guitar
I was anticipating for a little piece of heaven, but this is good too, can't wait
Lets Go A little piece of heaven
Up
the Rev's vocals are the SPIRITS of that song
please keep doing more from this concert! seriously one of the best concerts you can react to
tip: never pause a synyster gates solo
Eu estava a pensar isso kakaaakkaak. Não se faz isso. É o mesmo de desligar a Televisão na hora do gol

@@MrHappy-cr4wc I’m insanely jealous. This is one of those “once in a lifetime” shows.
That’s unreal. I’d pay so much to be able to experience that. I’m 24 so the first time I was able to see them was 2014

Second heartbeat, live LBC reaction!! 🤩

💯
This is the third single from their self-titled album.
The song features a string orchestra and was written by the band's drummer, The Rev.
Some of the songs in the album used strings instrument as background.
The crazy thing is that so much of this concert sounds just like the studio recording. They absolutely killed it.
This concert was amazing! You can pick pretty much any song here and have a good time.
its incredible watching or listening to their live performances and then the studio version to appreciate how good they are. They literally sound the same performing live
The whole band, but especially Shadows/Rev, were on FIRE this entire show. Gotta be one of the best rock concerts of all time.
I love your reactions to A7X, keep it up!
The Rev wrote this song..
Critical Acclaim from this concert is really great too!! Has more of the drummer singing. Scream is fun too, and A Little Piece of Heaven. Might as well watch the whole show 😂
She already did that One.
That’s the first one she did
My bad, didn’t realize it.
Can't lie, I've been binging these tonight. Great videos!
🫂 I am so glad your enjoying them! 🫂
One of the best live bands I have ever seen. I caught them in Atlanta for Mayhem Fest several years back.
Have you seen One Ok Rock Live at Yokohama Stadium before?
This is definitely one of their best songs in my opinion. From start to finish it's perfect.
The fact that one of the guitarist plays an entire show in basucally a suit, is actually insane!
Just left their concert tonight so glad i found your channel still just jamming out.
you gotta see the whole LBC show, you won't regret it, belive me!
This show has been my workout mix for 15 years. This band 💪👌
me in the early 2000s yes very much in love with singer... me in 2023 going to see them for the 8th time, still very much in love with him haha.
10:45 has got to be the most iconic moment of this band
That awesome harmony between Shadows and Rev, right into the guitar duel, Syn nailing the solo, Shadows amping it up into a maniacal laugh while Syn just let's that final note ride holding the guitar with a single finger by the whammy like he just accomplished the impossible. Just goddamn iconic.

Rev and shadow when they both sings
It gives me a goosebumps🔥
Scream
Beast and the Harlot
Gunslinger
A Little Piece of Heaven
At this point, the whole live🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
5 guys, on top of their game. Should check out the rhythm guitarist, Zacky, singing their Misfits covers. He killed it.
Totally agreed! And i love Zacky’s voice, he’s such a great singer as well. I love the Misfits cover, and I REALLY love the cover they did of Runaway with Zacky on lead vocals.
The harmony is very angelic🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥☠️☠️☠️☠️
All of the songs in this particular 1hr video is phenomenal and i wish you could react to all of that songs :D ♥
It's a string section that's on a backing track.... incredible song and great reaction!!!
Love your reactions ❤
A7X are such an amazing band. Keep up the great work 🤟
Its been YEARS since I've watched this performance, i came here to see a good reaction from a pro....speaking of crushes btw lol. I like your reacts! Good stuff!
RIP The Rev. He was great and brought so much to his friends & the band. I'm guessing this was before M.Shadows had throat surgery. Now the sound is a bit different but still great
Never stop an epic guitar solo, please 😢
Like Bo Pacino said that is “criminal” 😂
M. Shadows is so f**** gifted, he is so good....and the Rev, he is in so much pain and singing his heart out...

I get the same reaction as you when I watch that video from LBC. I was speechless. The band was so great.
Man…. The revs part…. The man surely knew the answer to the big question.
i'm a straight male sitting behind a computer screen and I have a crush on the lead singer 😂such great stage presence and a fantastic singer

I remember watching this video on repeat back in 2009 when I got into A7X and even after 14 years the chorus still gives me chills.
This is my anthem in life right now....currently somewhere I don't want to be or belong and can not wait to leave.
I'm from Indonesia, thank you so much you was bring up to me back to 12 years ago
BEST concert I've ever been too! A7X in the 04-11 years were absolutely insane..but you need to look at Gunslinger from LBC..
great reactions! even u r speechless💯💯💯 the best song ever i think. masterpiece from the rev
Those screams from M Shadows sound more musical because he actually does put his voice into them, which gives them a distinct pitch. He's really good at those.
Love this band . They blew up after 2007.
I don't know how I ended up here, but I really enjoyed it. Greetings from Brazil.

Def Leppard is my favorite band. And i like AV7 and they may take that spot...
Correction, it’s every guy in that audience that has a crush on him
We need the whole show reaction please😂😂
miss you Jimmy, peace and love 🥺♥️
