it's happened when the rev was in punk band, with 1 tom, 1snare, 1 floor but i amazed with his skill. much punk bands with that kits always use same pattern in every song but the rev is creative as fuck.
unholy confessions is literally the most played song avenged has ever done. ever since waking the fallen came out, it had been pretty much a stable song in every of their live performances since at least 03-04-present. crazy to think how far they came from just playing small shows in front of nobody to playing with metallica and to have their own success and its because of us fans for not just buying their shit but supporting them through listening their songs they worked so hard to create and just come and see their live shows.
Usually the greatest bands begin to male music pretty early in their post teenage years. True genius musicians and that’s why most of them sign deals being 18-20 years old.
Probably because the album was just out or about to come out. So no one knew who they were. I only discovered Avenged the year after in 2004 summer when Waking the fallen was being played a bit on MTV late night. Then got into them. Was a breath of fresh air hearing some proper metal in between all the emo and emo core bands
Ahh how the oddly cuteness multiplies foxy Sarah Silverman shadow diablo. it has that odd dark emotion of young innocent shadows trying to be heard and grow.
They have played Mesa since the beginning (Zack played on a 5150 at one point.) they played Mesa and Bogner until around 2009 when they signed with Marshall and that lasted until 2013 when Syn got his own amp with Schecter and Zack his own with Jet City Amplifiers.
You know this video is super old cause M used to scream live and didn't wear sunglass, Syn wasn’t playing the schecter guitar, Zach wasn't wearing a cap, Rev played a small kit, Johnny had no mohawk + All of em had less tattoos
It’s surprising how good they were when playing live back then. I know they were like a band for 4 years at this point but the things they played at the time were so demanding, plus they were like ages 20-24 I think in this video.
This is one of their easier songs, I remember them saying that from an early interview. Johnny makes a mistake at 2:16, and a mix where the kit has been properly EQ'd and ZACKY's guitar is up in the mix, is generally more flattering for Matt's voice. I've seen so many live gigs that dont have this, which are really brutal on the harmonies if they're pitchy.
2:17 - 2:57 is why he can't sing anymore. Doing it full-voice wrecking his larynx and cords night after night. Gotta love this man! I love this band and love how much Shadows put into the vocals back then, but I don't think he knew how much it would destroy his voice.
"I'll try, " she said as he walked away "Try not to lose you" Two vibrant hearts could change Nothing tears the being more than deception, unmasked fear "I'll be here waiting tested and secure" Nothing hurts my world, Just affects the ones around me When sin's deep in my blood, You'll be the one to fall "I wish I could be the one, The one who won't care at all But being the one on the stand, I know the way to go, no one's guiding me When time soaked with blood turns its back, I know it's hard to fall Confided in me was your heart I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me" Nothing will last in this life, Our time is spent constructing, Now you're perfecting a world, meant to sin Constrict your hands around me, Squeeze till I cannot breathe, This air tastes dead inside me, Contribute to our own plague Break all your promises, Tear down this steadfast wall, Restraints are useless here, Tasting salvation's near Nothing hurts my world, Just affects the ones around me When sin's deep in my blood, You'll be the one to fall "I wish I could be the one, The one who won't care at all But being the one on the stand, I know the way to go, no one's guiding me When time soaked with blood turns its back, I know it's hard to fall Confided in me was your heart I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me"
Theres a reason matt cant scream anymore, sometime after waking the fallen came out Matt had to get surgery on his vocal chords because he was having trouble doing screams at live shows. So he got surgery removing his ability to scream like he could then. His singing got better because of his surgery though.
Logan Eddington dude no that’s just a myth he said in interviews that he got bored of screaming and wanted to try something new he still screams in his other albums just a lot less
@@randompolishguy6476 "he had to get surgery removing his ability to scream like he could then." No doubt he can still scream, just not as well as he could during WTF and STST
@@hustler6927 i hate how people are saying that he used to scream well and now he doenst. What defines screaming well? if it's technique then his technique back then was shit and was hurting his voice and now its good. People need to understand that he worked on his technique to preserve his voice.
Mike Molitor unfortunately, you're right. However, the music they played back then almost forced you to headbang. The same can't really he said for the music they crank out now. It's a softer, mellower A7X nowadays, which is what comes with maturity and experience.
@@Forever-1389 yh a lot of the stuff today they do is singy songy and smooth.the instruments are still great as ever and boucy and heavy and agressive like god damn the instrumentals are great but matts singing is just soft and singy
Some of these comments are funny. This was a stereotypical OC band back then. So many at the time. Shocking that of all the bands these guys launched into stratospheric popularity and they were one of the lesser talked about in regards to the forefront of the scene. Then this song came out and more folks paid attention, then of course bat country and so on. Good for them, Matt still sounds great on Savior, Saint, Salvation. A real favorite of mine.
I saw the thumbnail, seeing M shadow, I thought it was queen at first, he looked like freddy mercury. Then I saw mesa rectifier, I realized there was something wrong. After that, I read the tittle, then I realized that this was clearly not Queen
Just understand: as much as current trendy hardcore kids who listened to attack attack 8 years ago make fun of this band; this band was at least involved in the hardcore scene of the bands you blow off today. Even though you all were 10 years old at the time lol.
So is the revs snare turned off or is it just tuned oddly because in some parts it sounds like it's turned off but in others it sounds turned on but tuned oddly

1:16 This Part Gave Me Goosebumps
Me too lol
Me three
This song killed me
WTF?! Me too hahaha
Tf me too
You can't imagine how much this song has done for the metalcore scene. It's like one of its anthems.
agreed. Most of beginners tht tryin to do metalcore cover would play this including me lmao
Chapter 4 too
chapter 4 and rmenesiion is my favorite
indeed
@@mrirkiz5793 frrrr..unholy confession is the first song i learned on guitar
Damn that's the smallest kit I've ever seen the rev on. Still killed it.

Hah guess you saint need old endo drummer
He was one hell of a drummer
church drums starter pack

Right on brotherr
That is how it works
I love how young Johnny, Syn, and Zacky are just going insane with the headbanging
22 years old matt shadows
Like me, 22y.o

Nvm him THE REV IS ON FIRE
Lah kok gede temen awake koyo wis wolu likur.
@@andikardian9014 asem kecut gulo legi rupane elek koyo telek
Not only the Syn guitar, you can also know this is a old Sevenfold when you see syn headbang
Sad that that's a true thing😂
i would wonder why he stopped headbanging in their city of evil days and after
@@imoanadz Well he kinda "headbangs" nowadays, but for like 1-2 seconds mostly. One of his mannerisms when playing some of the older solos.
So crazy to think that a bunch of kids in their early 20’s wrote such a unique song like this that was one of the first of its kind.
That used to be standard
This riff has a lot of roots in European melodic death metal. Not really the first of it's kind.
Listen to 90s In flames and circle back
Usually the greatest bands begin to male music pretty early in their post teenage years. True genius musicians and that’s why most of them sign deals being 18-20 years old.
The crowd didn’t know they were gonna be so huge of a band and they so close to them again
Its 18 years old and I still can't get over the energy they had back then. Especially Matt's voice.
If compare with Asian people, of course USA more powerful by energy. Cmiiw
Just saw them live tonight in New Hampshire, they’re like fine wine man. They played this song 20 years later PERFECT
It’s nice to hear M.Shadows actually do the screams to the song.
Justin Woodward it’s because this was live in 2003
Lmao people get old
He had to have vocal reconstruction done because of it
@@damfam4918 jesus, it was THAT strong?
he was doing it incorrectly
Jimmy's drum kit evolved a simple small kit to a badass triple kick
HEAVY METAL my kit actually looks likes the Rev from this video right now lol
Simple kit is more badass
@@jannatinkarlen8702 yes
Why is the crowd not head banging seriously these guys are amazing
Wild DogV2.0 not that many people knew them cuz they weren’t that popular
Probably because the album was just out or about to come out. So no one knew who they were. I only discovered Avenged the year after in 2004 summer when Waking the fallen was being played a bit on MTV late night. Then got into them. Was a breath of fresh air hearing some proper metal in between all the emo and emo core bands
Little did they know they were witnessing metal at its finest
because its a shit festival
2:29 They f*king are!!! 🔥🖤🤘🏼💀
This is oddly adorable.
Kuutamo13 and you're oddly adorable!!
shut up all of you horrible bitches
As things go on the internet, a innocent thing is ruined
Ahh how the oddly cuteness multiplies foxy Sarah Silverman shadow diablo. it has that odd dark emotion of young innocent shadows trying to be heard and grow.
Adorable? This is the true a7x
Some of them in the audience are looking at each other like, “Yo this band is actually good.”
Holy shit. This is first time I have ever seen Synyster use a Mesa Boogie.
They have played Mesa since the beginning (Zack played on a 5150 at one point.) they played Mesa and Bogner until around 2009 when they signed with Marshall and that lasted until 2013 when Syn got his own amp with Schecter and Zack his own with Jet City Amplifiers.
You know this video is super old cause M used to scream live and didn't wear sunglass, Syn wasn’t playing the schecter guitar, Zach wasn't wearing a cap, Rev played a small kit, Johnny had no mohawk + All of em had less tattoos
One of Zach’s best riffs. Damn I miss this era!
That i'll try opening scream gives me chills every time I watch this. It's so powerful
their guitarist is good, I think they deserve their own signature guitar one day
They do Synyster Gates has his own guitar design and they are limited edition
@@BravoSix_6 They were joking silly goose =•]
0:13 I think Matt stepped on a lego
MarioFilmsProductions 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol
🤣🤣🤣
and a spikey one
i’ve been coming back to this vid for a while now and can easily say this is my favourite performance of unholy confessions
and i STILL come back to this video almost a year later :)
they have been so good since that time and I just love them recently. I should have listen to them since I was in kindergarten
It’s surprising how good they were when playing live back then. I know they were like a band for 4 years at this point but the things they played at the time were so demanding, plus they were like ages 20-24 I think in this video.

Man if I could go back in time 😍 I still think this is the best album
I’ve never seen syn headbang before, wow
That crowd was total shot lmfao
They were prob burnt out from the red chord, that lineup was stacked, they were prob resting between some bands
Love from malaysia
Always loved how the last 20 ish seconds of this song go hard af for no reason
2:17 - 2:57 is why he can't sing anymore. Doing it full-voice wrecking his larynx and cords night after night. Gotta love this man!
I love this band and love how much Shadows put into the vocals back then, but I don't think he knew how much it would destroy his voice.
His vocals now are a choice. He could definitely still do this.
@@jamesmarshall6884 nah u way off. @Bpoweredlove is exactly correct. no disrespect, just straight facts
Unironically the best live version of uc ever recorded
"I'll try, " she said as he walked away
"Try not to lose you"
Two vibrant hearts could change
Nothing tears the being more than deception, unmasked fear
"I'll be here waiting tested and secure"
Nothing hurts my world,
Just affects the ones around me
When sin's deep in my blood,
You'll be the one to fall
"I wish I could be the one,
The one who won't care at all
But being the one on the stand,
I know the way to go, no one's guiding me
When time soaked with blood turns its back,
I know it's hard to fall
Confided in me was your heart
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me"
Nothing will last in this life,
Our time is spent constructing,
Now you're perfecting a world, meant to sin
Constrict your hands around me,
Squeeze till I cannot breathe,
This air tastes dead inside me,
Contribute to our own plague
Break all your promises,
Tear down this steadfast wall,
Restraints are useless here,
Tasting salvation's near
Nothing hurts my world,
Just affects the ones around me
When sin's deep in my blood,
You'll be the one to fall
"I wish I could be the one,
The one who won't care at all
But being the one on the stand,
I know the way to go, no one's guiding me
When time soaked with blood turns its back,
I know it's hard to fall
Confided in me was your heart
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me"
dat snare tho!
That's what I was saying lol
they went so hard with the head banging
Just amazing.
Wish Matt still screamed like this

it's crazy, these guys wrote this song when they were kids and no one knew just what this song would do for metalcore.. wow!
Dengan kit yang se simple itu, The Rev tetep Gila dalam memainkannya!
I miss that voice, but his voice now makes M. shadow special
good old days.. back when they use to really jam live. they kinda walk around and talk now not headbang

Soy yo o siempre le tienen el micrófono muy bajo de sonido a brian? Nunca lo escucho cantar en vivo D:
So is the revs snare turned off or is it just tuned oddly because in some parts it sounds like it's turned off but in others it sounds turned on but tuned oddly
