Avenged Sevenfold: Acid Rain Breakdown (REACTION)

[@chrismeadows4216]

What I love most about these breakdowns is that it's not just first-time listeners who miss things. A lot of people have heard these songs maybe a hundred times and not noticed the really deep elements. There's so much buried in the mix for most A7X songs. A lot of people don't notice the piano and low vocals in Nightmare, the really high harmonies and growls in Beast and the Harlot, or the electric mandolin in Paradigm, but these videos show what makes these songs sound as unique as they do. Those little layers seem to make the major difference for a lot of people. They wonder what makes a song great and can't quite put their finger on it, and hearing the band go through the hidden features is fascinating. One thing they didn't mention in this video that they mentioned in other videos are the template songs. November Rain by Guns N' Roses and Dream On by Aerosmith. You can hear a little bit of both in the song as well as Mars - Bringer of War. This song was played in the encore of the last show I went to. It's breathtaking.

Was your best reaction for me! My thanks. This breakdown's videos give us another perspective of their songs

[@GatesNo]

Around 11:50 you were talking about "angry blues". They're referencing the outro-solo to the song Fermi Paradox, where Brian supposedly goes to "the dark place".

[@BetterEveryDayYouTube]

I haven't heard that one yet. Thank you for clarifying.

[@TobbeBoll]

@@BetterEveryDayKZbin Hope "Fermi Paradox" is on the list for future song reactions. 🙂

[@chrismeadows4216]

The breakdown of Beast and the Harlot is pretty fascinating, but it's two separate videos because they had so much to say about it. They're all worth checking out, but that one is incredible. Matt seemed super happy during the Paradigm one. I think the Save Me one is pretty long.

So much that goes in to just one song . it's unreal how they all have the time to make music and also have their family responsibilities they have to deal with seems like I haven't got any time in the day it goes by so fast . That is what makes them all so dang talented they can deal with it all ..

[@blitzy7961]

Glad you reacted to this. Would love more reactions to their breakdowns. Pretty dope

Avenged Sevenfold-Darkness Surrounding

[@PetterVessel]

This remind me of the making of A little piece of heaven.

[@UhOh_ItzJDX]

You should honestly check out some other breakdowns, they have a bunch and it's awesome to see how they created the track and recording it and everything... especially The Stage, Matt is amazing in the studio

[@Samuel-wh4yt]

Wow There are very few people that reacted to the breakdown series!Awesome video ;)

[@JakeRoss827]

You should watch the breakdown of a little piece of heaven

[@BetterEveryDayYouTube]

Will do!

[@marcussilva4961]

There's no breakdown of a little piece of heaven. Just the making of, pretty good as well by the way

[@JakeRoss827]

Marcus Silva yeah that’s what I meant, needed to be more clear

[@marcussilva4961]

@@JakeRoss827 haha don't worry, making of is g(old) as fuck hahaha. I love it

[@Beartooth.12]

love the video keep it up

[@BetterEveryDayYouTube]

Thanks, will do!

[@jadedatheist1828]

Like a lot of other comments, I think it's awesome you did a breakdown video. And, also like others, I recommend the breakdown for "A Little Piece of Heaven".

[@BetterEveryDayYouTube]

Great suggestion! Thank you!

[@TheHumanSpiderYT]

Would love to see some more breakdown reactions since like nobody does them.

[@BetterEveryDayYouTube]

I check more of them out.

[@siic]

And now you need to listen to Planets

[@BetterEveryDayYouTube]

Added!

[@EliteFalconV2]

You gotta do planets now! As it’s a prequel to this song. It’s such a banger. Great reaction btw!

[@BetterEveryDayYouTube]

Thank you! Planets is on the list!

[@EliteFalconV2]

Better Every Day hell yeah!

[@angelaleader-alford6905]

Avenged Sevenfold, gives a lot to their fans. It’s one reason we are so devoted to them. They made a “Making of... video for I think almost every album. So you get to know each one of them, & how each song came about. Then, they put out these breakdown videos, so you learn how each song was put together. Then, the, how to play guitar classes, by Synyster & his dad, ‘Papa Gates’. Or you can, Have drinks with Johnny Christ.... Not many bands share so much of themselves & their music, with their fans , like these guys do. Their music was in Transformers, tons of video games, they are characters in video games, & they have their own video games. Matt & Synyster have been featured in several other bands songs together & separately, like, The River w/ Good Charlotte. Reactions to any of these things would be Great!!! Lots of people would watch & you would get to Love them as much as we do. Love watching your reactions, to these guys. Thank you.

check out little peace of heaven breakdown. its great

[@thomasrokidis8847]

They have done breakdown videos for many of their songs. I think those videos are awesome because you learn about the storyline behind the songs, what where they thinking and how did they make them. After watching the breakdown series i appreciated their work and talent much more. All videos are good. I suggest the breakdown of a "little piece of heaven" just because it's a bizzare song and it will answer questions like "what where they thinking writing a song like that? Etc etc "

[@grahamnash9794]

Not what I expected at all. But not disappointed either. Always knew a lot went into finalizing music prior to release, but I had no idea it was like this. I went to a studio in '83, and was blown away by 100's of knobs, dials, and switches. And now, just a computer Thing change faster than we can ever keep up with. Sometimes for the better.

[@SERGIO4008]

The video of the breakdown and the actual studio recordings are about 6 years apart thats why they look a little different

[@wirandaalonk5843]

Wait..to be honest your face look like arin (the drummer) a little bit 😳 4:19

[@yuvalgro1632]
