Avenged Sevenfold - "A Little Piece of Heaven"

[@bobafett1313]

This is definitely the best Valentine’s Day song of all time, no one can tell me otherwise.

I will never not love watching anyone's first time reaction to this masterpiece!! The Rev (R.I.P.) was an amazing drummer and great song writer as well!

[@66seraphs]

So far away almost had me in tears, the video was so sad :(

[@Blackdog06019]

@66 Seraphs I saw the tour just after the Rev passed away.. and I won't lie I absolutely did cry when Fiction was played. It was just M, Portnoy and an empty grand piano bathed in a purple spotlight on stage.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

@@Blackdog06019 I saw them on the Hail to the King tour in April 2014, they did the same thing. The ENTIRE crowd was chanting. JIM-MY! JIM-MY! And Matt was trying to speak into the Mic but had to stop and cry and just enjoy the chanting. It was absolutely beautiful. When the light was on the empty Piano bench, man that was a heavy heavy moment that I'll never forget.

[@zachsimmons6824]

I'm glad you enjoyed this. This song scares some people away from the band if it's the first one they heard. You should check out Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold live at the LBC. It's a fantastic example of the talent of the whole band. Great song lyrics as well if you listen to the meaning.

[@TheGoldenConnorific]

Yeah I showed my friend this song being the first one but it definitely scared them off lol

[@ReaperDad79]

Pretty much any song from the Live at the LBC show, would be great listen. I think of the very few people I showed this song to, most got scared lmfao.

[@TheLucidDreamer12]

When I first heard this song, I couldn't speak English and thought it was awesome Now I wish I never learned English listening to the lyrics

[@sacrilicious154]

This was the very first song I heard from this group and I fell in love almost instantly!

[@boots_33]

Fun little fact about this song... When Avenged Sevenfold was writing this song, they wanted the end result to sound like something from a Danny Elfman movie score (Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Netflix's Wednesday, etc.). When it came time for them to track the horns and other classical instruments, they hired a guy named Steve Bartek to arrange their parts. Little did the band realize, Bartek was the lead guitarist in the 80's New Wave band Oingo Boingo, which formed by none other than Danny Elfman, who was the band's lead songwriter and vocalist!!! After the band split up, Bartek and Elfman have since continued to work together on film scores, and the guys in Avenged Sevenfold had absolutely NO IDEA of any of this when he was hired!

[@ninja_tony]

Dude, that’s amazing! I had no idea about that, but Danny Elfman has such a distinct and unique style, and i can never listen to this and NOT think of his scores. I was always blown away by how A7X managed to pull off such a masterpiece of a song and absolutely nail that Elfman-esque style so well, but now I understand why!

[@mrbungle3310]

Yeah the horns sound like Oingo Boingo, especially Nasty Habits...knew it all these years

[@sacrilicious154]

That must be why I love it so much. It reminded me of the Nightmare Before Christmas!

[@aaronbryant7240]

This is literally the best reaction to A Little Piece of Heaven I've ever seen. Most people can't seem to get past the visuals or lyrics and don't appreciate the music. So much so that I would almost never recommend this song to someone who doesn't already know like 5 Avenged Sevenfold songs.

[@chrisb.5663]

I loved your reaction to this song and your other reactions. This is a fun song that avenged sevenfold did, written by the drummer ThevRev. He was a great music writer and artist of the band. Unfortunately he died at an young age. The song so far away is a tribute to him. That would be a good song to react to. They are a great band!

[@fallenaralte]

Absolutely

[@Torquemonster440]

She would lose it over So Far Away.

[@lokat8832]

Tbf that entire album is a tribute to The Rev

[@LagnixSea]

This song does have a very brutal and psychopathic video clip, but behind it has a very deep meaning of loving someone

[@sinrtb]

Murder to prevent the possibility of rejection and a little necrophilia go along way to say "I love you"

[@Juhani96]

Yeah, loving a maybe bit too much 😂

Best reaction ever. I believed her when she said she didn't know this track! \m/

[@AprilH14]

This song is on my top 5 favorite songs of theirs. I think every song is left to be interpreted by the listener. For me the song itself is basically the rollercoaster that love is. It's always told to be such a great emotion but no one ever tells you that with love comes jealousy, fear of unfaithfulness, fear of he/she doesn't love me like I love him/her, he/she is going to leave me etc also anger, rage, revenge, pain and lose. But love still comes out on top even after all those other thoughts and feelings. Even after all the negative thoughts and feelings the love is still there because it is the most powerful emotion. That's my personal interpretation anyway.

[@aussie_danz8114]

lmaoo omg I had tears at the beginning the reaction was awesome Kath - and same, we all start with, what the F at the start when we first hear it and then OMG I LOVE IT somewhere through the song 🤣

[@steve_vuangtu]

The best part was when The Rev sang the last chorus with M Shadows , "but it's just beGUUUUNNNNNNN" at the last chorus, listen carefully, Rev's scream was insane

[@mastod0n1]

There is a breakdown of the song on Avenged Sevenfold's official KZbin channel where at one point you can hear that absolutely incredible pitched scream isolated.

[@glennwatson8826]

I had watched a few of your other reactions, kind of a hobby of mine recently, and I saw this one and thought ,"oh, here we go..." And now, this is ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE REACTION EVER!! Your amazing smile as it starts, then then horror as you realize what is happening (especially with the heater), but then you got past that and got smiles and happy again as it goes on...

Love the channel selections so far. More tool and A7x would be great to see. So far away or something older like beast and the harlot or bat country from Avenged Sevenfold will give you an idea of how different this was from their normal sound.this was a rock opera sound that they didn't get to do much more of because the Rev passed away as they were writing and finishing the next album

This version has Floor Jansen singing, she's amazing!)

As you know by now the drummer (RIP The Rev Jimmy Sullivan) wrote this song, as well as the song Fiction. But, he was in a band called Pinkly Smooth that are very similar to this vibe. If you do like this style you might also enjoy Mr. Bungle, or other Mike Patton projects.

[@omegashinra7672]

Been an almost obsessive Avenged Sevenfold fan since 2005 (holy fuck that makes me feel old), and I'm surprised this is the song someone got you to start with. It was originally meant for a Halloween EP they were doing (funny you mention listening to it every Halloween), but turned out so damn good it ended up on the main album they had coming up. It's ALMOST a shame the video can be SO distracting. I'm assuming you know Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen? I like to think of this as Sevenfold's Bohemian Rhapsody. It's whimsical and whacky but musically brilliant and so out of the box. Inspired by Oingo Boingo, hence The Nightmare Before Christmas feel, and 95% the brainchild of the bands late drummer, Jimmy The Rev, and out of every song Sevenfold have ever made, this one sits firmly at the very top for me.

[@steveherman6909]

For those who love A7x and this song in particular, I highly recommend that you take a small portion of your time to check out a 1991 album called Mr. Bungle. Just a song or two would suffice, though you may find yourself giving the entire thing a listen. Mr. Bungle was a side project of a few metal legends folks may have heard of: Mike Patton (Faith No More), Scott Ian (Anthrax) and Dave Lombardo (Slayer). Don't go hating on the old dudes and try to hold off any preconceptions and you may be very surprised. That said, this is a killer track from A7x from start to finish.
