[@joaovidal3676]

the part between 8:09 and 8:59, gives me so much chills, REV and Shadows screaming together its the best sound ever created

[@brownfella1830]

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

[@joaovidal3676]

[@Eye0fHorus]

And he’s one handed his guitar

[@RIPJimmyA7X]

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

[@trueblood710]

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]

This was the '08 Taste of Chaos tour, so the Long Beach show would have been April 10th, 2008.

[@firecap]

@@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

[@reaper61989]

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]

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

[@crazykiller001schannel5]

@@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

Wait, you got to see this exact show?

[@MrHappy-cr4wc]

@@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.

the Rev's vocals are the SPIRITS of that song

[@p_d4v]

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.

[@givenspade]

please keep doing more from this concert! seriously one of the best concerts you can react to

[@jebwatson]

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.

[@drakedbz]

The crazy thing is that so much of this concert sounds just like the studio recording. They absolutely killed it.

[@davidhowell3609]

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

[@BastiXIII]

This concert was amazing! You can pick pretty much any song here and have a good time.

Have you seen One Ok Rock Live at Yokohama Stadium before?

[@TheCowOfNow]

Just left their concert tonight so glad i found your channel still just jamming out.

[@KeplerEmeritus]

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.

[@arqHHM]

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.

[@_ThunderFire]

[@Jordo246]

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.

[@UuuBeybiBeybi]

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.

[@JesseAflleje]

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

[@eternalhazer7108]

All of the songs in this particular 1hr video is phenomenal and i wish you could react to all of that songs :D ♥

[@podrickfookinpayne2329]

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.

[@zabaa.]

you gotta see the whole LBC show, you won't regret it, belive me!

[@toreetotz6661]

5 guys, on top of their game. Should check out the rhythm guitarist, Zacky, singing their Misfits covers. He killed it.

[@ninja_tony]

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.

[@johndavidcatliii7211]

I get the same reaction as you when I watch that video from LBC. I was speechless. The band was so great.

[@aaronbeatdown]

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.

[@sandmanenters4187]

This show has been my workout mix for 15 years. This band 💪👌

[@a.pigeon]

8:08 It is a violin. They have a backing track for all instruments that they have in the song but can't take on stage. They also have viola, cello, and upright bass in this song.

[@st.boanerges]

Like Bo Pacino said that is “criminal” 😂

[@OberWanKenobii]

His voice is also very unique and nasally too, playing with it is just icing on the cake! Also they use a lot of symphonic sounds to the studio versions of their songs, their older ones anyway. They had an entire orchestra for "A Little Piece of Heaven". What you heard was definitely as violin playing in the background track!

[@SchoolOfComedy]

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

[@guesst9814]

as a singer, Matt's signature vocal characteristic is really rare. since long ago i've realized that metal singers, even those who would sound very similar to each other, is different. Matt's is even more distinct (from City of Evil album on), it's between singing and screaming. it's one of the main reasons i like A7X.

[@kingchuckfinley]

Man…. The revs part…. The man surely knew the answer to the big question.

[@Britton_Thompson]

This is actually the late 2000s. 2008 specifically ... This song was recorded with a string symphony in the studio for the album that's being played on the PA for live shows

[@andrewvasquez7872]

They made a webseries documenting the recording of the album they were promoting during this tour which was their Self-Titled album, I would highly suggest watching it. Its really funny and cool to watch their thought process. This song in particular was cool because the drummer actually wrote the lyrics and the melody that this song was spawned from, they also decided in this album to all do their own backing vocals. Prior to this album M. Shadows would do all of the backing vocals and then they would have to match his voice live. But they figured that recording their own backing vocals made more sense.

[@mauvrion_fries]

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!
