Avenged Sevenfold Presents Breakdown: "Beast and the Harlot" - Part 02 of 03

[@jordanbrawand]

"let's check out the drums," was the biggest, most frustrating tease I've ever experienced 😂

Literally...is it now? Now? When?

[@hobi2716]

Just wanted you all to know that Johnny Christ is M Shadows best friend, Johnny Christ is the leader of Avenged Sevenfold, Johnny Christ writes all the song, Without Johnny Christ Avenged Sevenfold would be nothing, we all hail Johnny Christ.

When Johnny came in and told Syn that he fucked up a bass part and didn't know he did so they kept it in the final product. Syn's face priceless!

[@millenium6301]

1. This series actually made me even more impressed with how well you guys transform this when you play it live. Although you don't use nearly as many layers during your live performance, it still manages to sound full and rich. 2. Brooks breaking down The Rev's drumming as a tribute is fucking great, especially because of his 'Bad Religion' backround

[@VlogDoGio]

Guys, please, release the full videos of Matt recording!!!

[@youknowwhat5008]

I'd like to see all the guys recording TBH. Even though there's already footage of them recording CoE here on KZbin, it's pretty low quality, especially compared to this, and there isn't a whole lot of it, either. It's mostly 2-3 minute videos. The guys probably have MUCH more footage based on what they've shown in Parts 1 and 2. Just my opinion. I honestly think it would be really cool to see the guys create one of the most revered metal records of the 21st century.

[@xGuitarInFlamesx]

IKR, I would love to see him recording their full discography, specially crossroads

[@weiner392]

If they can just put it on a copy and sell I'd buy it why not. make some fuckin money a7x

[@joelcoool]

Yeah there seems to be way more footage of almost all album sessions. The waking the fallen documentary gave us some but there's clearly more. Same with city of evil. There was even the HttK documentary and that showed some footage but the breakdown episode of acid rain showed even more. I dont get why they sit on it!! I would pay to see all the out takes of documentaries and all the extra studio footage. I get why there (probably) isn't any footage of the nightmare sessions though.

[@youknowwhat5008]

@@joelcoool I agree with the whole Nightmare thing. I also don't expect there to be much STST footage either. But I do think that there should've been a little more footage on WTF: Resurrected. The band just spoke about what the process was like for them with tiny little clips lasting about 10 seconds or so that were silent for the most part. They clearly have quite a bit more footage than what was actually shown. Not trying to boss them around, but a little "making of" thing, even if it's just a compilation of studio footage, is something I'll bet you the fans would really like IMO.

[@chim6718]

I really feel like every single band should be doing these. Plus, we get to see more of Jimmy.

[@StewTheTrue]

These are such real dudes. I came up on avenged and I cant help but come back every few years. This is as good as it gets dude.

[@A7XEntertainment]

It is such a great song! So thankful for you guys breaking it down. So Interesting. Keep these breakdowns coming! 😃

[@EnergeticSpark63]

hey

[@RokoRage]

"City of evil" is one of the most epic album!

[@officialryndwns]

Ill never forget the day me and my metalhead bro picked "city of evil" up at sam goody or fye to buy and he was like "i heard this album sucks cause they dont scream anymore".So we were like "fuck it, lets give it a shot". at the time we were really into iron maiden and i remember putting the cd in my car and beast and the harlot starts. It was like "holy shit! metal is back!" i remember rewinding jimmys drum solo the first time hearing it, asking my friend "Did you fuckin hear that!?" One of my all time favorite albums! They got a lot of shit for not screaming but that shit isnt metal, and i love waking the fallen.. City of Evil was like hearing metal make a comeback imo

[@tatumblows]

The key change is actually my favorite part of the song😂

[@jaybone112233]

Hell yeah! love the breakdown videos! We need the drum breakdown ASAP! foREVer

[@ue06]

That key change in the outro is the best part anyway

[@serpicoserpi]

They should've played it a bit longer 😕

[@comedyyyyyyyyyyyy]

most vocal iconic part in the whole song imo

[@JSkeleton]

Aw yeah! I love that there's THREE parts for Beast and the Harlot's breakdown! This song is insane. Hands down one of the best songs ever!

[@MadrugaFan]

'Hail to the King' track: single-part video with both presenters struggling to find notable parts to highlight... 'City of Evil' track: has to be split in 3 motherfucking parts due to how much stuff there is to cover. See the difference? No offense to HTTK though.

[@gpag12]

Hail to the King was the one album I glossed over. It wasn't even on purpose, I just never really dove into it. The Stage brought me right back in, just as much as when I started listening in CoE days... I'm so glad to see them breakdown tracks from City of Evil. It would be awesome to see more from this album or even from Waking the Fallen

[@coachcubed2760]

Garrett Gagnon second that on WTF!!!

[@cassio8315]

I agree, hail to the king was a massive disappointment to me, then I got super scared I wouldn’t like the stage, glad to be proved wrong

[@washthisgardenwithblood3585]

More doesn't always mean better. HTTK is a solid record.

[@cassio8315]

I still like hail to the king, I just found it disappointing after the pervious three incredible albums

[@martaveri9705]

this literally made me feel soooo nostalgic! i've grown up with this band, I've seen myself evolve along with these amazing artists & their music. I've been loving these breakdown episodes just like I remember I used to play on repeat the "making-of city of evil" videos I had on the All Excess dvd!!! Is there anyone who can relate?

[@HelloVisitor]

I 100% relate to this! Been a fan since city of evil came out. I remember thinking that the album art was awesome so I bought the CD. I was blown away by the music. Such a beautiful album. After that I bought the other albums (at the time they only had 3 albums [sounding the seventh trumpet, and waking the fallen]) been a fan ever since. And I loved the All Excess DVD! Wow this brings me back! Thank you for the nostalgia trip!!!

Legend has it that the high background vox in "drink the poisoned wine" are the highest notes of Shadows' career. If you don't count that though it's either gotta be on IWSYT pt1, or Wicked End

TENGU if you look up the isolated vocal tracks and listen to the final “falling now is” line, there’s an unnaturally high harmony there too. there’s no way that’s a human voice 😂

@Baris Manco Gojira is different. Comparing the two bands isn't the right thing but Gojira kind of redefined a genre with intriguing words whereas Avenged Sevenfold had to mature to get into that phase. The age of Gojira members somehow explains that.
