Avenged Sevenfold Buried Alive Reaction!!

[@vinniedesalvo3738]

M Shadows is the singer, Synyster Gates is the badass guitar player

[@timbuysse2665]

I caught that to, hey shit happens but good on you to point it out

[@VinAndSori]

Good catch homie!!

[@WesleyAPEX]

I love how this song does a total 180!

[@WatchfulWolf]

Critical Acclaim by A7X is a great patriotic song, one of my favs

[@AustinGonder]

Watchful Wolf hell yeah! I love the pro-America lyrics

[@viikmaqic]

The live version when you see REV sing his part is just amazing and heartbreaking at the same time

[@WatchfulWolf]

the live version cuts out the good parts of the song though

[@DexScene]

That song Live in LBC please

[@samuellilja1601]

Yeah one of my favs too

[@ru1n_singzzzie13]

Avenged sevenfold-Afterlife. Make sure this is the proper 5 Minute one and not the radio version❤️😀

[@severomales5824]

Ruan Singh Yes please!

[@synystergates9384]

Yessssss =3 i agree most reactions are doing the video and the video cuts the fecking solo :(

[@Justdat799]

Yes

[@irrational_reality]

Finally got your wish

[@Gabrilos505]

I'm excited to see Chapter Four Avenged here, such a good song. Good job guys! Hugs from Brazil.

[@Gabrilos505]

I think this song is about people that live their lives in evil while pretending to themselves and others that they are good , hence the part : "Evil thoughts can hide , I'll release the mind , I'll peel away the skin ! Release the dark within!"

[@Basilisk117]

React to avenged sevenfold: a little piece of heaven

[@cowboyga1]

i second this

[@Zappaisgod4983]

Would make for an interesting discussion.....I think..... 😐😂

[@Lightsephiroth]

Yup

[@menjoSIM]

Sergio Marquez i third this

[@fotismonocheir1446]

Oh please yes

[@redhotchilifan98]

The entire nightmare album is kickass you guys should definitley check out afterlife or hail to the king

[@J42Michael]

I mean, and hail to the king:)

[@sammason189]

Avenged Sevenfold are my favourite band of all time and my favourite album by them is Nightmare 😍 all of their albums are masterpieces, but Nighmare is just something else! ❤❤❤

[@wulfendisease]

The entire Nightmare album was supposed to be a concept album following the life of a soldier with PTSD. Then when the Rev died it kinda turned into something similar, but the first 5 songs were linked to this first initial theme. Then the rest of the album were written more for the Rev.

[@soulsfang]

Avenged Sevenfold - I won't see you tonight pt 1&2. Part one was my favorite until The Stage came out, and I've been following them since Sounding the Seventh (their first album). I believe i read somewhere that it was about their former bassist who had problems with suicidal depression, but i can't seem to find where i read it so i might be wrong. The song does deal with some deep shit though, and all together, its beauty and complexity is top notch. I think you guys will really enjoy listening to it and am interested to hear any insights you have/what you take away from it.

[@soulsfang]

This song was composed for Justin Sane due to his attempts to commit suicide, this included when he was a member of the band, they removed him from the band due to the stress and upset it was causing them. That is the meaning. - Reddit post (super reliable source XD) not the first place i've read it though. I'll see if i can find more reliable source

[@GJBedrin]

Part 1 is awesome but part 2 is probably one of their worst songs in their entire collection

[@pissedmetalhead]

Reminds me of suicide note 1 & 2 by pantera. They were influenced by pantera so that's how I get that opinion. One is heavy one is slow. Maybe I'm wrong

[@abrarmorshedaurko1093]

I love Part 1 and 2 both

[@Unknown-rg1jj]

Avenged Sevenfold - M.I.A

[@amirozzsevencrew54]

I second this

[@jordanperrin3911]

5th

[@sekyconman8574]

[@suaelephantpen4407]

7th

[@wajahathasib25]

Always tear up towards the very end.

[@jordanperrin3911]

Yes! Sevenfold!

[@MDDham0]

Try to react avenged sevenfold - beast and the harlot, bat country, a little piece of heaven

[@grantspersonal]

I love Avenged Sevenfold, it's the band that got me into metal. Then shortly into deathcore, deathmetal, and metalcore. I loved the analysis!! Please do Silent Planet - Panic Room. It is a song about the bands friend's story with PTSD from being overseas fighting for the U.S. Army.

[@dominic5930]

Smuggy Puss when was A7X death metal?

[@themikays]

@@dominic5930 he only said this band got him into metal, bro.

[@thomasrizzo3597]

I am really curious to see what you guys will think of the song Critical Acclaim: A7X

[@elliotknight99]

React to Afterlife by them. It's arguably the quintessential Avenged Sevenfold song, just make sure you listen to the full version, not the music video!😄

[@cjdickey1650]

Ughh...you people and your top 20 radio garbage. Don't be so easily manipulated into praising what radio and the masses push onto you.

[@cartercravillion]

Not ready to die

[@aaronstallard]

BLIND GUARDIAN soon please :) Still not getting notified right away of your videos. Just checked up on the channel and saw this then got notified, but it usually is taking about 13-16 minutes.

[@adrianalahm8106]

Danger Line please!!!

[@danpsylence]

Adriana Lahm it makes me breakdown almost every single time

[@hendrasilwanus1428]

I agree with you

[@brandodlp161]

I second this

[@corywashburn]

Woo! Sidewinder next!! You won't regret it. I agree with Sori, I'd have to say that Vin does know more than the average guy.

[@Grxvestoned]

FINALLY MORE A7X!!!!!!

[@melvinandrade2682]

Avenged Sevenfold - Chapter, Unholy Confessions and A Little Piece of Heaven

[@Nothing-bl7bj]

I watch alot of your reaction videos. And when I saw you guys do Avenged Sevenfold I thought of this song. Couldn't get through the first minute of the song. Still resonates pretty hard still 8 years later. Still love you guys. I think I prefer you guys over others because of the 40 minute discussions you have after. Keep it up guys 👍

[@Moggers1990]

Just wanted to say that i honestly could not tell you why i enjoy watching these kinds of music reaction videos. I guess it's me sat here in the UK watching two complete strangers across the world discover and rock out to songs i love and have on my every-day play list (also your reactions to the awesome moments within songs that i know are coming). Your channel was randomly recommended to me but I've watched a few videos of you guys and even though it's just me watching you listening to a song, you are entertaining; and that aspect on two individuals is super rare. So thank you and keep it up :) P.S I urge you to listen to more Avenged Sevenfold. Nightmare is an amazing song with one of the best/most fun drum tracks ever in a rock song in my opinion. Also some more Five Finger Death Punch. Hard to See, Gone Away and House of the Rising Sun; all fantastic songs.

[@jeffhermes1139]

I love these reactions where you guys bring me a different point of view to a song that I've heard a million times :)

[@christinedeshano2872]

The entire album was about The Rev. He was an important part of their lives for a very long time. They loved him, losing him was extremely difficult.

[@squaawk3238]

i liked the reaction overall and can appreciate the genuine response. keep it up guys

[@BigRaider209]

Loved seeing them really feel it during the solo. That’s how we all feel listening to syn play lol

[@Canwehitsubswithnovideo-qw7bf]

Avenged sevenfold “strength of the world”

[@mattkemerait]

Gotta love when the synchronized head rockin starts up during the breakdown. I dislike reaction videos and seriously never watch them, but you guys are on a different level. Keep it up.

[@theadamsandlerfan]

Also when they were buried alive back then thats where the term Saved by the Bell came from was because if the person woke they could ring that bell by pulling the string going from the inside of their coffin to the bell above their grave and the groundskeeper would hear them and possibly save them. It's cool learning about this in a museum like I did, they had a whole setup where a person laid in a fake coffin and could pull the string.

[@michaelvondrake7489]

I am Catholic (tho no particular expert). There is a traditional belief that people who are cremated must wait until the end of the apocalypse to get into heaven. The Catholic Church softened its stance on this belief during the Black Plague when the best way to safely handle the dead was through a Funeral Pyre... On a separate note about being buried alive, there's an episode of Poldark where one of the villagers is declared dead, last rites read and he's wrapped in burial cloths. On the third day of laying in state he suddenly gets up, the nuns watching over him scream and pass out. Later the guy talks about walking into the tavern (still in his burial cloths) and people in the tavern dive out of the doors and windows. He complains about having to serve himself because the tavern was empty by the time he reached the bar 😆 Just a hilarious thought process.

[@rakinetakemi9985]

I love how attuned you two are

[@soakedbearrd]

IMO one of their best songs.

[@soakedbearrd]

Vin is very knowledgeable, but he’s also definitely a know it all lol

[@jaceguerrie7353]

Btw when you guys were talking about the guitarist at the end, his name is sysnster gate. M shadows is the vocalist. Ik this has already been out for 2 months but just thought I should tell ya guys. P.s love your vids!! Keep up the good work!!

[@johndeeregreen4592]

One of their best songs, no doubt about it.

[@guyincognito320]

That single Zacky power chord at the transition that doesn't quit

[@94hourzzz66]

Shadows is the vocalist! Syn is the lead guitarist. And yeah, I totally agree, I also feel that syn doesn't really get mentioned with any of the greats, even though he has developed his own sound over the years and has written some really tasteful licks. You can instantly tell when it's his playing!

[@uuasnyder]

The phrase "ashes to ashes, dust to dust" to me lends itself to cremation.

[@draden187pc8]

Avenged Sevenfold - A little piece of heaven. Best love song ever.

[@jakeshadow6644]

The song was actually specifically written for the Rev because of him going out the way he did the lead singer in the whole band were shocked and it pretty much angered them that he took his own life instead of letting the condition that he had take him. This song was put before all the other songs to make a point that they were not happy at all they were in a depressed state.

[@dustin7422]

That is not true

[@idosabamemanuel5163]

Iirc, the one song that's dedicated for the Rev in this album is "So Far Away"

[@thunderkat3248]

Great analysis Vin, i think your spot on with the mice endure the wheel verse

[@lolipoplol100]

I sometimes wish I had faith, it sounds so beautiful and comforting the way you talk about it. But I simply dont believe and I never have.

[@DM-of7ys]

One of my favorite songs by them

[@rasmusostergren3443]

The Rev died during the recording of the Nightmare album, so there's a version of this exact song on KZbin where the rev is singing the demo version of buried alive. So some songs were written before and after his death

[@anthonypabon4963]

Great video.my favorite avenged song

[@Southern_Trendkill]

Usually, after Vin and Sori get done listening to a song, I stick around for another 5-10 mins and then I stop watching. I just watched this whole vid and it’s very insightful stuff. Very intelligent. I’m gonna stick around for a lot longer than I usually do \m/

[@ItsBabaEro]

M. Shadows is the vocalist. The guitarist's name is Synister Gates

[@jeffhermes1139]

Never clicked so fast xD

[@crystolas810]

I really enjoyed this talk

[@ChipmunkAsylum]

Their new song The Stage is crazy. Quickly becoming one of my favorites

[@jerm154]

Slayer - South of Heaven

[@tim8653]

Sori's right!

[@Justdat799]

I had a request back at 500 sub's that still never went through lmao, it was called Nothing To Say by Slash Feat. Matt Shadows, the singer of Avenged. I'm still patiently going to wait, I asked on every platform so whenever you guys get the chance, it's an awesome song

[@MiguelGuitars]

Justdat799 I second this!

[@jumuwu6262]

There's a demo of the rev drumming and singing to buried alive, the song and concept was made before his death

[@BlackHermit]

I've seen them live last week and they played this song! :)

[@ssgwilliamson3817]

BLESS YOU!

[@myfaceismyshield5963]

I totally want you guys to react to Circle of Dust - alt_Human! The song is relatively new Circle of Dust is a 1-man band that recently came from hiatus, pretty underground but very respected and kind of an industrial cult classic...

[@the_verTigO]

You mean Syn, not Shadows. ;)

[@VinAndSori]

Right! Lol!

[@andrewwhittaker7016]

Not to mention that books from the bible has been removed. Like the book of Enock, Jesus himself quoted parts of the book along with other. I completely agree with you. Interpretations of the Holy Book has changed over the last 1,000 years...

[@zachcromwell4776]

I had to look through and check to see if any1 else caught that b4 I commented the same thing. 😂👍😎🤘🤘

[@Omega-fb9ji]

The whole Nightmare album exept for Danger Line and title track are in some way about Rev, so you are right Vin. But people often think that songs from other albums are also about him although the band stated that they are not. The last song A7X wrote about The Rev was St James, the bonus track from the album that came after Nightmare.

[@williammiller7799]

Avenged Sevenfold- God Hates Us. Evile- In Dreams of Terror. Bullet For My Valentine- Scream Aim Fire or Begging For Mercy.

[@Zee-8419]

M Shadows is vocals. Synyster Gates is the lead guitarist and Zach Vengeance is rhythm guitar.

[@Haris-ce8wt]

Finally .. nice.. please react to a little piece of heaven next ..

[@miph5309]

Would really love to see some more In Flames reactions

[@mikeellis5660]

Cue uncontrollable head banging after the first solo !!!

[@TheStarksRegards]

I feel like the beginning of the song is the burying of emotion, slowly building to an emotional explosion, lashing out and aiming to hurt something.

[@willian8449]

you're amazing!!!

[@johnbon6]

This song has always reminded me of Fade to Black so much.

[@jacob.calloway6833]

Lol Vin looks like he wants to punch Sori when she sneezes. Tell me I’m wrong. Lol love your videos guys!

[@VaBeachBeach2971]

Liked and subbed great duo personality video.

[@jackoats4911]

You guys have the BEST a7x reaction videos. Fantastic video thanks for doing it👍

[@krustbag1039]

Vin is right, Hell is the lack of eternal life, not an eternity of burning.

[@landon4425]

Do more reactions please y’all guys are really cool

[@mtaffer]

Sori, i've always thought you will be in such bliss that there will be no pain or suffering. You won't be bothered because you be in a spiritual state with no pain or suffering.

[@uBoBaMnupa]

Blind Guardian - Imagination From The Other Side

[@condraylandscaping]

That song is so sick. Gets strong as hell at 5 min

[@JJ_957]

Check out some Deftones! I think you guys would really enjoy them

[@MrEpicFox17]

Hey new subscriber here. I just wanted to let both of you know "Shadows" is the singer, NOT the guitarist. M. Shadows - Vocals Sysnyster Gates - Lead Guitat Zacky Vengeance - Rhythm Guitar Johnny Christ - Bass

[@mtaffer]

There is a story in my family about a relative in a hospital having 7 angels at the foot of her bed. She told her relatives that she would be dead in 7 days and to go make arrangements. Every day she mentioned that one of the angels was gone...at the end of the 7th day she died.

[@bobskadoodle2484]

Just like the song your heads rock progressively more hard

[@jonasbass4982]

graveyard shift comes from being buried alive. they would put a hole in your grave with a string going down to it. the string is conected to a bell. and the person working the graveyard shift would stay up and listen for the bell

[@sofieingraham6663]

YEET one of my faves, do something from The Stage next

[@sofieingraham6663]

Hey Zeus yeet

[@michaelknight287]

The Drink LeBron Spilled Don't

[@sofieingraham6663]

Michael Nicht try and stop me

[@parandersson6541]

Oh yeah, I love this song

[@rafaelsoto4742]

I got to hear this song live. Oh my god such a good track

[@DexScene]

great vid as always, but at the end, you said shadows took it somewhere guitar wise. Shadows is the singer, Matt Shadow. The guitarists are Synyster gates (lead) and Zacky (rhythm and harmonise leads). They are really one of best guitarists at the time

[@VinAndSori]

Good one!

[@Gunthusiest]

Sori is definitely right. I learn something about Christianity every time I watch the videos because of how much more he knows than the average dude 😂 it's kinda nice. Getting in my Bible studies while watching you guys react to my favorite songs

[@marcusje11]

"How long is this journey gonna be? Like a lightyear?" So you mean a year lol?

[@uBoBaMnupa]

Type O Negative - Black No 1

[@kevinsmith7-7-7]

Great Song

[@jessicagaude9347]

I've heard that family members come to lead you into your next life or final rest, so you aren't really alone. My grandmother, right before she died, would talk to someone, telling them she wasn't ready and she didn't want to go. Scared the hell out of us lol

[@faithcolvin3220]

They also used to have rope or string attached to a bell at the headstone and the other end attached to the bodies hand. It was one of the grounds keeper's duties to listen for the bell in case the person wasn't dead and to dig them up if the bell rings

[@igottabasketballjones7420]

This song rocks!!

[@michaelrichards2524]

PLEASE do Scar Symmetry, The Illusionist! Thanks guys!

[@vlazurah789]

Hell yeah I love this song Edit: 100% agree with Vin’s description of hell, that’s how I’ve always imagined it in my mind

[@haydenr5128]

M. Shadows is the vocalist. Synister Gates is the lead guitarist.

[@spudpotat24]

Sori: "Nobody knows what the fuck you're talking about" - I'll put in $5 towards having that put on a plaque. Absolute classic. Love you guys!

[@323ramsfan]

You’re right Vin, Syn Gates is an absolute bad ass on the 🎸

[@323ramsfan]

Avenged Sevenfold - A little piece of heaven

[@TheMiddaydreamers]

Here's a fun fact. Some places used to put bells above people's graves with a rope that went inside the coffin in case of a false death.

[@Machete__Squad]

I completely understand what Sori is trying to say about being alone. I would say it is like going to a party where you don't know anybody. You show up by yourself and when you get there you realize you don't know anybody maybe just one person the one that invited you, and for some reason they never seem to be around. So you are surrounded by people you are literally not alone but you feel alone. That is just one example I have felt alone without being alone many times and I think that was what she was getting at.

[@MetalRob81]

Such a great song. I will never stop spamming.. Thousand Foot Krutch - In My Room!!

[@stevemoses6654]

Buried alive is their stairway to heaven. It progresses very similarly
