AVENGED SEVENFOLD - "M.I.A." - CITY OF EVIL *REACTION*

[@Dirigo42]

This song hits home pretty hard.

[@jonathanramirez5013]

True this song give me goosebumps something

[@adampindell]

Every time 😭

[@robertvsshark1217]

You gotta do Critical Acclaim now!

[@bittykittyttty3300]

Yes

[@bittykittyttty3300]

Do it

[@bittykittyttty3300]

Please 🙏🏼

[@olblueproductions]

Studio version!

[@jeramiyhaochoa6744]

Ol Blue Productions Or the live in the LBC version!

[@elvisvalentin7741]

They have another good military related one called Danger Line!

[@Slash-Ares]

also gunslinger

[@sly11benal7]

Yeh they have many. They are pro military n even wear dog tags probably to show support for their friends! I loved them before I entered into AD Army and I have tons of respect for their music.

[@Libertyprime2]

@@sly11benal7 thank you for serving, god bless

[@SkippyTheBoy66]

This has to be my favorite song by them because it makes me think of when my Dad was in the Army and he served in Iraq. I'm just glad he's alive today, I don't know what I would've done without him now that I'm 16 years old.

[@Kolket1389]

Not an honorable war, but still it takes to courage to go and fight

[@darthvader4339]

Remember a lot of soldiers didn’t know what the war in Iran/Iraq was truly about, they were probably told that this side is evil and we’re good, it’s not the soldiers fault at all, only the higher-ups.

[@cheddah48]

Yes but not their fualt... like the song mentioned.. The bravery is what I honor

[@cheddah48]

@@darthvader4339 it was about the "weapons". Oil, and kuwait..

[@gagemcdonald9393]

Man I was so psyched when i saw thus premiering! One of my favorite songs of all time! City of Evil is the best A7X album and one of my favorite albums in rock! Bat country, sidewinder, beast and the harlot, seize the day. Such a great album!

[@shadowfire_08]

damn right 🤘🔥🍻

[@advaitpetiwale9596]

Don't forget Blinded in Chains!

[@gagemcdonald9393]

Yep! Not a bad song on that album!! Blinded in chains, trashed and scattered and the wicked end are immensely underrated a7x songs!

[@nhlstars1]

Next pls react to "Natural Born Killer" or "Not Ready To Die" !!!!

[@EliteFalconV2]

nhlstars1 I agree both BANGERS

[@nicholevenable58]

Just for future videos The members are Vocals-m.shadows Lead guitar-synyster gates Rhythm guitar-zacky vengeance Bass- Johnny Christ Drums-(depending on the album) The Rev (rip) Mike portnoy Arin Ilejay Brooks Wackerman 😀

[@Iamthesun314]

The rev- sounding the seventh trumpet, waking the fallen, city of evil, and self titled Mike Portnoy- nightmare Arin Ilejay- hail to the king, not ready to die, Carry on Brooks wackerman- the stage, life is but a dream, and hopefully more

[@MDDham0]

Bat country Second heartbeat Unholy confessions Scream So far away (this song for the rev) Seize the day Dear god Danger line Gunslinger Trashed and scattered Blinded in chains Strength of the world Critical acclaim live LBC

[@GhostriderN]

Unholy Confessions is the first song that i heard of A7X and its so fucking good! The best song they have ever made, oldschool A7X is the best 🤘🤘

[@viniciusribeiro7279]

I see an Jinjer fan right here 🤘

[@oler00]

If he does Bat Country, he should definitely just do the audio version and not the music video since part of the song is cut out but great list!!

[@What_Is_Truth93]

As a brother in Christ, I appreciate your work. May our God, Jesus, bless you with everything that is good!

[@shadowfire_08]

CITY OF EVIL ALBUM! 🤘🔥🍻 atta boy, GIBBZ!

[@saifulzamroni7003]

Avenged Sevenfold - Gunslinger Avenged Sevenfold - Danger Line Avenged Sevenfold - Coming Home Its have same theme...

[@dikkymayendra2258]

Up

[@justinford3085]

This song hits hard. Unfortunately, I've had too many friends die at home from the demons they brought back with them from combat zones.

[@littleuncle3065]

From your experience do you think the first verse was describing their PTSD and Depression. Sorry if it’s too personal

[@J_Tension1]

You need to also react to Gunslinger, its also about the military.

[@matthewteodoro6788]

6:28 my same reaction to when i first heard the solo lol

[@dsptnhugo1309]

One of the most insane solos Syn has ever written 😂😱

[@barrettwittkamp6166]

I love how he air plays bass every guitar solo 😂😂🤘🏼

[@scarlettfsp9555]

HAHA I thought the same thing omg 🤣

[@gocanes361]

Preach brother! My nephew just finished his 8 years in the Marines. Much respect on your comments.

[@rpeebles]

One of my all time favorite songs. God Bless all our veterans out there you gave more than we could ever know!

[@bythesea207]

3:45 the moment you realize this song isn't about being a gun-touting, flag raising American. It's about questioning your own countries decisions to label particular regions the enemy and the effects that go with those decisions. Decisions that are ultimately made by people who don't care whether or not those soliders make it home to their families. As much as you can say to love and support our Troops--maybe think about the mixed messages you send by the signs displayed on both sides of your brand, D-Gibby

[@solomon8833]

I'm not a Trump supporter but he is probably the most anti war President we have had in a long time. Sadly the war machine is so strong. This song is so good at bringing out the reality of war.

[@slipknot_0992]

The guitar work and drums are fucking amazing the rev is just a fucking beast on the drums and shadow’s voice is just unbelievable and amazing I love it all

[@Docthecowboyoperator]

I’m so happy you did this song man. I love A7X and would happily give thumbs up on all their songs. But this is one of my favorites and it’s overlooked so much by so many people.

[@sleepyrainzzy]

Do Betrayed or Natural Born Killer next

[@xtremeenigma29]

Betrayed seems like the perfect A7X song to follow-up this one with.

[@toniiflores6438]

You'll Love Blinded In Chains Bro... Its Such A Masterpiece

[@radonculous9158]

This is my favorite reaction video ever, especially know how patriotic you are. Seeing your reaction was spot on. This is probably my favorite A7X song it’s so freaking good. Your next A7X song should be Gunslinger, Critical Acclaim, or Dear God

[@GabrielSilva-ks6vf]

A7X - Danger Line (other song of them about war)

[@winiciussuzzi2399]

Do Remenissions by A7X, that's their most underrated song IMO.

[@sly11benal7]

Song is badass n is pure heart! The lyrics in that song are phenomenal 🔥✔🍻

[@barrettwittkamp6166]

Oh my god, remenissions is definitely my favorite song and he would love it!!! It’s a must hear 😍

[@denny9066]

Good call!

[@wcanderton]

Weird way to spell Lips of Deceit/ Second Heartbeat/ An Epic Of Time Wasted/

[@MrAntichristSupastar]

You should do A7X - Roman Sky. One of my favourites from these guys!

[@Achilles3310]

Thanks for this reaction and thanks for your support man. This song has hit me in the feels for so long now

[@coreymcdaniel2759]

This song is an absolute masterpiece!! It's one of my favorite songs they have ever made because of the subject matter the lyrics and the instrumentals were incredible! The rev outdid himself on this song. For real. Just listen to those drums!!

[@DennGreenIII]

Not ready to die has arguably the BEST banger of a solo, and the end piece of phenomenal. Can't wait for you to react to that one some day.

[@skynetterminatort100]

First! Gibby gang in the building! Let's dive all the way in! Great band right here dgibbs

[@sly11benal7]

Great reaction! I like the love for our troops. I'm Infantryman Vet . I am very proud of my service n ALL soldiers no matter the branch, yrs of service, mos, active, reserves.....etc. 💯🇺🇸

[@stevenreyes7147]

Just joined the family, and let me tell you, you are the most funniest guy I've seen someone react to avenged sevenfold

[@Eightphoenix]

An absolute masterpiece of a track from an absolute masterpiece of an album. Their finest work in my opinion. Absolutely flawless.

[@jjwoodson9759]

The song portrays a kid named ruby and her mother talking to eachother but one is in the afterlife and one is not in my oppinion its even better bcuz the main singer casey is playing ruby as in singing wise and her mother sings as the mother in the song it is very fast paced so i do recommend lyric video

[@rebelfighter5249]

Red Like Roses? Sounds like a plan to me!

[@littleuncle3065]

My thoughts: the first verse is about the soldiers PTSD. He’s looking at flashbacks after returning home and feels like he’s a cold blooded murderer pretending to be a civilian. “Give me to the courage to stand up and fight” my interpretation is that he needs others help him “fight” and get him through the depression

[@chasehoward5757]

My grandfather was in veitnam and im not gonna lie ive never seen combat but this still made me have chills just because of some of the story's I've heard from him

[@Newlybear]

This is a great one dude! I don't think I've listened to this since I was in high school! Like 08 to 09

[@shadowfire_08]

lol CITY OF EVIL ALBUM 🤘🔥🍻

[@A7XHellBlaze]

I never had so many emotions, just watching you react, seeing you support, seeing you empathize. Amazing.

[@hashinator7]

This song makes me cry sometimes. Matt just has such powerful words when he writes about war. Gunslinger and Danger Line are also great songs about war

[@ShadowsK.Y]

Sidewinder and Gunslinger are pretty underrated A7F songs ngl

[@TheMuhdSyahir]

You have the best reaction on this song yet in youtube mann!!.. the best brooo

[@ChipmunkAsylum]

One of their best songs. City of Evil is a masterpiece, and will probably be remembered as one of the best of all time someday

[@aspicydankmeme273]

A powerful, deep message and a beautiful chorus My favorite a7x song

[@chill199]

"Big swol cmon" 😂you have me geeken, amazing video

[@dezloeppky]

6:17, this is why these guys are my favourite band of all time as always will be

[@bR8d04]

If this hits hard… the drummer and guitarist from disturbed and singer from Evan’s blue formed a band. Give the song from Fight or Flight - Leaving. Great song as well

[@Nga_Babaye]

This song hits deep for me, as does Danger Line. I was in Iraq from 2003 to 2005 with 2-70 and the 82nd. And I went back 2007-2009 and 2010-2011 and I left from there 3 months into it in 2013 after I watched our then president allow the rise of ISIS into a dominant fighting force because he was too chicken shit. How many times did we have to retake Mosul and Fallujah because Obama was letting Joe Biden cut money every year from ground assault troops and special operations out of the defense budget. I dropped on the ground as an E3 in 2003 with 260 rounds and so much extra weight I dreaded having to move posts. By 2011, if we had an engagement, we had 150 round. 100 in 2013. I wasn't about to sit there and think I may get held up in an all night dance with ISIS or the Taliban and not have the tools to complete my job. Not when ISIS preferred not to kill you on spot, but took you back and tortured or beheaded you as an example. Obama-Biden preferred to ship missiles through front doors of churches and synagogues, but they wouldn't send anyone out there to verify who they really killed because they didn't want to have to explain the innocent men and women and children who died when they found out they didn't kill their intended targets. That's why Obama actually sent a SEAL team in Bin Laden. I reenlisted in 2016, and just finished my 20 years. While my fighting days were over, I supported the younguns who went in, fully equipped, and took Mosul one last time in 2017. People may think Trump is a piece of shit, but he's been the best president that I've served under. I absolutely do not believe he said any of that Losers and Suckers bullshit based on the first two paragraphs of the Atlantic article, and 21 people, including Trump enemy John Bolton came forward and said that was bullshit. If I can refuse to voluntarily allow any VIP in our vehicles because the Uniform Code of Military Justice tells me that I can be punished for putting that person's life at risk in the instance of zero visibility, then that Marine is going to make the same call for the president of the US. No visibility, no ride. Even if a black hawk can fly in rain it doesn't do you any good if your visibility is less than a mile when traveling at 200+ mph.

[@lukezhang970]

this song always be my favorite one,from the very first time till now

[@Yourboyjeremyis23]

Love A7x there my favorite band of all time hope they come to md or pa next tour so I can see them live I’ve never seen them

[@MaxymDemechenko-om8lh]

2:28 "Hold on this is too lit where is my new sunglasses??"

I'm a new subscriber to your channel because i have not stop watching your reactions to AX7...your reactions are awesome brotha..keep up the good work and keep rockin man. so that being said i'll get back to watching the rest of this reaction. Peace and be safe.

[@waleedawan5454]

Your A7X reaction chain reminds me of that days when I got addicted to them, exploring their discography and stuff!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@lanceboyer9968]

Combat isn't easy. Hard on the soul.

[@Kxrnflake]

Totally new here. I love how hyped you got over Trilogy by Silent Planet!!! I'll definitely do my research to see what you haven't done yet, and then I'll find a good song for ya!

[@andysix985]

If you really love this song you need to hearing all the 15 minutes of Exist by avenged sevenfold

[@hazardgaminghg122]

2 Avenged Sevenfold reactions on the same day? I'll take it!🤘🏻

[@malefikgamer5446]

Yup.....hard agree. Love the song, love A7X and love the review!

[@trikax]

I discovered Avenged Sevenfold because of my father in middle school, they were the first metal band I got deeply invested in. Before I discovered them (I know it’s gonna sound cliche because it was middle school and all), I was deeply depressed. Kids used to pick on me and beat me up on the school bus. When I found Avenged Sevenfold, I was contemplating suicide. Instead I spent that entire day listening to their whole discography. I wouldn’t be here to this day if it wasn’t for them

[@jeevakins2517]

I fucking love this dude

[@chrisklema9992]

My favorite song of theirs by far.

[@moe5148]

Love your videos man! Look forward to more.

[@wobenezung7170]

Favorite song of all time❤

[@Nga_Babaye]

The solo from 6:30-7:15 is Zacky V, and Gates picks it up at 7:15. Zachy V and Gates both play lead. Gates just writes most of the material, so he plays the harder parts. Zachy is just as good. The difference is Gates has bluesy style and Zachery is more modern.

[@bowie97-c2s]

I love this band

[@Cmccarth081]

I love the respect you carry for all these bands you review, I always used to get hated on for listening to avenged cause it’s “whiny” or “too heavy” or “that shit gives me a headache”. It’s nice seeing somebody who is a “metal head” appreciate their music ❤️

[@Cmccarth081]

Isn’t *

[@chriskendall8410]

If you like the triplets Iced Earth has a ton. Check out Declaration Day, it's on a whole album with themes from different battles called Glorious Burden

[@mattdesousa5104]

Hey D Ginny. You should check a band called Relent. They are a new Christian hard rock band. So when you do soulful Sunday’s, check out the song “Low”. It cuts deep lyrically but the song slaps HARD.

[@zachbrown3141]

I love the reactions! Its great to see all the support you bring to the band. I reccomend bat country if you havent heard it. Aswell as critical acclaim and gunsinger!!

[@ishail0148]

Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun will never rise Living another day in disguise These feelings can't be right Lend me your courage to stand up and fight, on tonight Stand up and fight Now fighting rages on and on To challenge me you must be strong I'll walk your land but don't be long Two million soldiers can't be wrong Its no fun but I've been here before I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war (Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things) Some are scared others killing for fun, I shot a mother in front of her son (Change this from my consciousness and please erase my dreams) Fight for honor, fight for your life Pray to god that our side is right You know we won but still we lose, until I make it home to you I see your mother filled with tears we grew up so fast where did those years go Memories won't let you cry unless I don't return tonight So many soldiers on the other side, I take their live so they don't take mine (Scared to make it out alive now murders all I know) Nobody tells me all the reasons were here, I am a weapon so there's nothing to fear (Another day another life but nothing real to show for) Fight for honor, fight for your life Pray to god that our side is right You know we won but still we lose, until I make it home to you I see your mother filled with tears we grew up so fast where did those years go Memories won't let you cry unless I don't return tonight Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun will never rise Living another day in disguise These feelings can't be right, lend me your courage to stand up and fight Watching the death toll rise wondering how I'm alive Strangers blood on my hands, shot all I can There were no silent nights watching your brothers all die To destroy all their plans with no thought of me (no thought of me) No thought of me Walk the city lonely Memories that haunt are passing by A murderer walks your street tonight Forgive me for my crimes, don't forget that I was so young Fought so scared in the name of God and country

I know countless of people have said it but imma add, you gotta check out Danger Line, it’s such an amazing song
