Avenged Sevenfold - Exist Reaction!

[@ChainsawReacts]

Coming back from vacation. Will record and upload my Reaction to Game Of Thrones Season 7 Episode 5 tomorrow!

[@pantherking1311]

Chainsaw Reacts I'm glad that you had fun with your gf

[@vicm9971]

Chainsaw Reacts Avenged Sevenfold is one of my favorite bands, glad you had fun on your vacation. 15mins of looking at a dark sky.

[@vicm9971]

Chainsaw Reacts also would you consider doing some reactions to Rammstein. Not sure if you have it on your channel, but was just wondering. Probably toooo late for it, but maybe when the new songs come in maybe maybe?? 😅

[@ghfreakmachine]

You should really react to i won't see you tonight part 1&2

[@unknowngaming1432]

Chainsaw Reacts haha. It sounds like Neil DeGrasse Tyson because it is. They got him to record that section.

[@kai_henrik]

this record was the most experimental they released so far, very interesting, not for every ear, just for the ones who can really listen to music in a not conventional way.

[@Baraka_Obama_]

Kai Matt Henrik They just released a cover based on a Mexican folk song, M Shadow sang in Spanish shit was trippy

[@gdmcgill]

You should check out Haken if you like that kind of stuff!

[@waixr5990]

(Experi)mental

[@mellow9042]

This was Neil DeGrasse Tyson

[@r.a.8861]

It was supposed to be Sagan before hand.

[@craigers6122]

"This sounds like something Neil DeGrasse Tyson would say"...I actually fucking laughed so hard idk why

[@LautaroQ2812]

Maybe because he had the feeling that was something Tyson would say... after hearing something that the actual Tyson wrote and read for the song. Lol. I chuckled too. I was like "well... yeah, that is Neil" lmao

[@ajalonzo2705]

Craigers cuz it is neil degrasse tyson lmao

[@dreadpunk5136]

I laughed really hard too tbh lol

[@xryguyx05]

Nice reaction! They didn't put any vocals in the beginning for a reason though! The song is supposed to be a musical interpretation of the Big Bang, so the beginning would be like before Earth is even formed and then when all the shredding kicks in that's when the actual Big Bang occurs. Then when the guitars and drums are going crazy around the 5 minute mark in the song that's like when asteroids are just pounding Earth millions of years ago. Then it switches to being very soft, which would be the cool down period and then the vocals kick in when humans are on Earth for the first time. Also Neil deGrasse Tyson was the one giving the speech at the end. He wrote that speech specifically for this song!

[@ericdaugherty5930]

Ry Guy Speaking of which, they could make a really cool music video using this song.

Finally I found someone who thinks the same thing than me :0

[@andrematos5673]

This is supposed to represent the creation of the universe, the big bang, thats why there is a slow section that builds up (the "start" of the explosion), a total blast that breaks you up (the explosion itself) and then a slow section throughout the rest of the song, representing the start of life, finally, a build up to what is the universe today (Sorry if my grammar was crap, im portuguese)

[@joeyuzwa891]

No worries regarding grammar, you phrased it like a native speaker.

[@MiniMoosaurus]

I agree He doesn't have the background knowledge, probably, that there is a theme to this entire (beautifully composed) album

[@BreadRZ_]

there's a method to the madness that is this song haha. it's suppose to emulate the big bang, so each crazy section change you eluded to was a progression in the big bang, from the mayhem in the beginning, to the beginning of civilization when m. shadows vocals came in, to the end when tyson gives his speech. it's a masterpiece of a song especially when you understand the concept of it.

[@johnwheels89]

WetBread thanks for this comment my dude

[@alexilaiho1st]

THAT's how you listen to this song, you gotta travel WITH it, not watch it traveling.

[@benwong3546]

The more you listen to it the better it gets.

[@dmat606]

That is prog metal for you

[@JoseCruz-dk3fi]

The whole album in a nutshell, it's become my favorite. Dose is insane, can't get tired of it. Sunny D too.

[@SerioosSam]

Glad you enjoyed it! The song is about the Big Bang and the creation of the Universe. That is the reason it transitions so much because of how the Universe evolved. Then it ultimately puts the spotlight on our Planet Earth and then on to us Humans. I feel personally that they chose not to do vocals at the beginning because they hadn't gotten to the Human part of History yet. Then talks about how Earth is currently our only spec of dust within the Universe, and we don't want to throw that away :)

[@guitarheroaero3451]

Glad you liked the song man. You should give it another listen and focus on what Neil deGrasse Tyson is saying. It seemed like you were ignoring that in the video and just listening to the music. It's some interesting shit, especially if you're into space, the exploration of space, and putting into perspective how insignificant humans are.

[@someeuropeanguy7378]

Good someone mentioned it - looked like what NDT was saying went waaayy over this guys head

[@kevinlee6003]

Elon Musk needs to listen to this song lol.

[@advaitpetiwale9596]

He does that. Unfortunately, that's one thing I honestly dislike in his reactions. He pays a lot of attention to the music, both instruments and voice. But he doesn't pay attention to the lyrics at all. He was practically laughing while listening to Sickness Unto You by Trivium, which, though brilliant, is actually a sad song.

[@MrTaylorKenny]

lmao "sounds like something Neil degrasse Tyson would say" ........ it is

[@ChainsawReacts]

Monst3r_Cha4o5_12 I didn't know

[@xerodelacroix5552]

Syn has become too powerful.

[@PieroMinayaRojas]

It's his "sin"

[@SvetLanya7]

Not just syn btw, Brock wackerman too

[@siic]

Avenged Sevenfold- Save Me

[@siic]

Mike Portnoy is in it so you'll hear Dream Theater vibe

[@Ash_C-zz4nu]

I fucking love the monologue by Neil Degrasse Tyson!

[@JayRodriguez51]

React to avenged sevenfold-save me, it's that dream theater vibe you were talking about and is personally one of my favorite songs from A7X

[@MrGuitarforyou]

I died to your reaction when Neil DeGrasse Tyson came in. "Is that something on my computer" LOL.

[@busski]

seriously, go listen to the whole album. it's imo their best album tied with waking the fallen

[@lisaperry8693]

this is by far my favorite from them, one they took a risk on a scientific note. their past albums to me they were planned or already done in parts. hail to the king and the stage albums they actually sat down and really gave us the goosebumps we as a whole missed and craved for.

[@hungryhungryhobo196]

This song is suppose to be about the big bang and the creation with the universe. Imagine a Disneys' Fantasia type deal only metal.

[@rokaanalzeer]

Hungry Hungry Hobo that's what this album should've been called. Metaltasia

[@BrejetyKirby]

You're reaction. Is exactly how I felt first time listening to it. 'Like what the fuck'

[@cliffsenac2825]

BrejetyKirby same

[@saucefoodz434]

Matt actually came up with this song while high. Now you know.

[@UhOh_ItzJDX]

makes so much more sense

[@iamjenius5951]

How do you know?

[@guitarbattleslive1274]

you should do more songs from the stage:)

[@faustocastaneda4965]

Save me by Avenged Sevenfold

[@jasonx4008]

Exist and paradigm are my fav tracks on the new album

[@MikeyJVoice]

Paradigm grew on me a lot. I didn't think it was bad, but at first I was like meh.

[@jasonx4008]

sometimes a simple straightforward rock song with badass riffs is all we need.

[@MikeyJVoice]

For sure

[@be4Valentino]

Exist, paradigm, creating god...

[@TheAleVixen]

Fermi Paradox and The Stage are my favorites

[@tripxez8478]

This was long awaited!! So happy you did this!

[@Danterobo]

Elon musk should send a monolog to a7x for Exist part 2

[@RespiteofChampions]

The reason why it's so crazy in the beginning and then smooth and then crazy because this song is supposed to represent the beginning of the universe and how our world formed. Chaos in the beginning, planets were popping up, then meteors and crazy weathers to make up the world we know now! And why Neil DeGrasse Tyson is here lol

[@emiliotorres5518]

YOU HAVE TO HEAR HIGHER

[@connoreidson9217]

Loved your reaction to this song. Absolute masterpiece.

[@GJBedrin]

I thought the most interesting thing about the song to me was when I sat down with the stage (the album) for the first time and looked at the track listing that 16 minutes song obviously really stood out. So as I was listening to the album as a whole the entire time I'm waiting this one song in particular and boy from the very start of it with the roller coaster if instruments you could tell it was gonna be something damn special. I always wanted a7x to do an instrumental and half way though I was so excited when I thought this was it but still loved it all the same. To me it started off with almost a DragonForce type vibe, then transitions to Metallica/dream theater, then to pink Floyd to almost a david Bowie "space oddity" vibe during the vocal section. Also loved that you noticed the drumming. A lot of people get caught up trying to listen to what Tyson is monologuing about at the end and completely kiss the fact that Brooks is going absolutely ham on the drums during it. I would say this song would have to be considered their greatest work of all time. Dethroning Second heartbeat and strength of the world to me

[@mikeowen7741]

I think what people forgot to mention to you about this song, was the fact that you need to listen to it 10 more times, periodically, after shit like hurricanes happen, or old white bastards set the bar higher for the worst massacre in American history happens....the entire concept of this song was to make us feel small, because we are...and to have a band that actually understands that concept and translate that into a musical aspect, we should all feel very lucky that we live in a world that allows us to experience something like that.Also, the drummer was the former drummer of Bad Religion, a fuckin killer band in their own right as well, that I still have on my iPod Mini that I bought when I was stationed in Italy 10 years ago, and that I still use as a work-out motivator while I serve in the Air Force today.A7X is next-level as fuck, and I can't wait to hear their new shit. It's like Pink Floyd meets metal, and I fuckin dig it dude.

[@legofireapparatus123]

React to Avenged Sevenfold "Creating God"

[@chasefrench6963]

"sounds like neil degrasse tyson" lol

[@pissingonthepotus4377]

Quite honestly it's the most incredible piece of music ever to echoe through my eardrums.

[@Vakaria-plays]

Hey Chainsaw reacts, this is ONLY a theory and a RUMOR BUT!!!! Metallica has stated that they are saving SPIT OUT THE BONE!!! for an Arena stage concert, and they have one arena concert in SEPTEMBER, the cancelled Royal Arena concert in Copenhagen in Denmark that got cancelled this early spring due to James being sick and had the flu, so there is a chance that as an extra plus for the fans who had to wait so long for the concert may be getting to hear SPIT OUT THE BONE LIVE.

[@jessicafarmer7275]

Loved your reaction. I'm obsessed with avenged sevenfold. Tattooed and everything. This song is one of the best they've ever done. Cant wait to see it live

[@Lightsephiroth]

"This sounds like something Neil DeGrasse Tyson would say" ...lmao! :D

[@beatrirojas4729]

Video Reaction - Avenged Sevenfold - God Hates Us (Live at Rock Am Rock 2011)

[@hafizjumat]

one of the best song reacted by one of the best reactor on youtube!!

[@jaimeduendeozzzkr]

It's underwater because that's how life started

[@Skraeling1000]

"We're six minutes in, no vocals" Nah, actually six billion years in, no humans. :)

[@c_martinjuniorpandapotan2554]

What this real?

[@chrisrodsa210]

The middle section of the song reminds me of a lost Red Hot Chili Peppers track from Stadium Arcadium or something. Great to see you react to this one. Rock on BRO!

[@TundraCH]

Ive listened to this album probably a hundred times haha, its a good one chainsaw check the album

[@MichaelD285]

Love that Godzilla 2000 poster👍

[@isaacrumley]

4:38 YES a7x is hopefully evolving into prog it's incredible what they're doing

[@rockerguy9683]

tbh, this album has some of the most beautiful metal songs I've ever heard, and this one is by far their biggest masterpiece which really isn't something just anyone could listen to.

[@maxsteelhaters4320]

Finally, HE LIKE IT!

[@mikeaustin3116]

Love the reaction videos man!Keep cranking em out bro.

[@bryansimms6245]

The pattern to the song is nothingness, the big bang, the cool down period, the radiation period, nothing, life ( being the vocals) then space exploration

[@liamkozell]

It was Neil DeGrasse-Tyson :))))

[@kaylamadden8994]

Yes on January 16 2018 in reading when I went they played a portion of exist. It was so beautiful

[@Reidypie123]

listen to it again and picture the evolution of the universe. and what neil says at the end is so deep and makes you realise how fucking tiny we are in this world. great track.

[@DiegoDeschain]

I can appreciate Exist as a whole, as a nice composition, but I really feel it is very anti-climatic for me. It's like the excitement from the first third of the song is never regained on other parts of it.

[@vicm9971]

Diego Lima the more I listen to the song the more I appreciate the song for what it holds. The meaning of what they were doing in the making of this song, and just taking a breather. Relaxing and looking up at a dark sky.

[@ctxx24]

THIS is anti-climatic? The hell you smoking?

[@H0und0fHircin3]

Is this the prog metal Shine on You Crazy Diamond? I even heard some guitar riffs that were reminiscent of David Gilmour.

[@muddc197]

The meaning is the creation of the universe starting with the Big Bang, being that insane intro, going all the way through to life and the ending which is mankind destroying our world

[@kai_henrik]

I give like to this video before even watch it cause I know is gonna be great!

[@Fluxicles]

Save me or MIA by A7X!!!! i think they're better than Exist!!

[@mamanxgarox995]

inFxNinjaz both

[@marc2000z]

The moment we've all been waiting for 🤘

[@TheYarnolds]

The whole song is to represent the creation of the universe. The weird underwater guitar solo part is the radiation period for when the earth formed. That’s why it’s weird sounding

[@davidclement1353]

The stage is a album thats more like Diamonds in the Rough exist is more like the real preview to the actual covered album that they're currently recording in the studio

[@MikeyJVoice]

"This reminds me of something Neil Degrasse Tyson would say"This made me lol

[@jmsdps]

Love the reactions. It'd be cool to see you react to some In This Moment stuff. They just put out a solid new album 🤘🏼

[@cruzzamann194]

Finally he did it!!!!!

[@OmnivoraMan1981]

yes.. That's Neil DeGrasse Tyson voice..

[@jakobdesrosiers6704]

“This sounds like some thing Neil DeGrasse Tyson would say.” That’s because it is.

[@dhafdhaf]

They're not really great, but they can make a great song by their creativity, holy jenius

[@Baraka_Obama_]

The drummer is bad ass! Maybe even better than the Rev

[@maxsteelhaters4320]

Baraka Obama I agree. Did u listen Fermi Paradox... That's crazy shit, bro!

[@Baraka_Obama_]

Roam Retocs :v Hell yeah the Stage is a great album! Not a huge A7x fan but I like Sin City, Nightmare and The Stage

[@marc2000z]

I like The Rev better, but Brooks Wackerman is a kickass drummer in A7X.

[@guitarheroaero3451]

City of Evil*?

[@busski]

GuitarHeroAero no, sin city was a song on diamonds in the rough I believe

[@todd020981]

If you read what the wrote about each part,its The beginning of the universe in each part is a different process like the cooling of the planet the Big Bang

[@JenovaGirzz]

idk i dont complain when roger doesnt sing in Shine On You Crazy Diamond

[@petrkufhaber7271]

Time fits into the Song. Not in this Video The Timelapse of the Universe 0:00-1:31 The almost empty universe 1:31-2:20 The Big Bang 2:20-4:06 The constant yet instability formation of stars and exo planets 4:06-4:40The formation of the Milky way. A place utterly insignificant and almost unregarded among the other millions 4:40-5:20 Earth formed and a part of us slips away forming the moon, which gravitates towards Earth. Forever then. 5:20-6:10 Our planet Earth revolving around it's axis, cooling down... 6:10-6:56 Water showering over Earth and the so thought Art begins 6:56-7:26 Evolution takes place from the first anaerobic heterotrophic bacteria to the hominids 7:26-11:45 Humans. The wannabe supreme beings reigns over. ( I sincerely do not know if this was a pretty neat idea) Till then, bask in with the final words of My Tyson. 11:45-15:40 ... "Until the rise of a new visionary culture, the cosmic perspective; a perspective in which we are one, fitting neither of the above nor below, but within." Avenged Sevenfold - Exist Comment by Josh Krishn 3 years ago

[@marc2000z]

Now react to either Simulation, Higher, or Roman Sky

[@SequenceBreaker64]

gonna have to second this. personally, Roman Sky would be my first choice.

[@marc2000z]

Simulation: the many variations throughout the song from soft to heavy Higher: mainly the last couple minutes of the song where it goes into that tremolo effect guitar part with the hit-hat, snare rim, double bass beat part Roman Sky: the emotions throughout the song, and the vocal variations

[@juniorlupercio1470]

I agree whole heartedly

[@jacobkohl9315]

Thank you for reacting to this! It made my day :D

[@galacticjuicedaddy1305]

Should've read up about the song beforehand and what it's about. Would've made more sense on a first listen.

[@MiniMoosaurus]

Someone made a really good music video to this with the creation of the universe. Check it out! This song gives you amazing visuals alone, but the music video puts it into perspective... soooo mind blowing 😊

[@tfsoul6384]

Irony of it actually being Neil Degrasse Tyson 😂

[@ssstylish8346]

Please react to Towards One Goal by the band Aspid

[@theskatingturtle5332]

It’s interesting seeing you react to this; obviously you’re breaking down the song because that’s what you do as a youtuber, but you should try to see this as one whole piece of music, not so much sections - don’t listen to each instrument as a separate entity, hear it all together

[@Peredolia]

Please do Dose by Avenged. And no they haven't performed this live because it's so fucking hard

[@JoseCruz-dk3fi]

Reaper Dose is a freaking amazing song, one of my favorites for sure

[@roryos]

It is actually Neil deGrasse Tyson. This song is very important to listen to the lyrics.

[@maestrotv992]

[@burliestcash7850]

It does sound like Neil DeGrasse Tyson because it is Neil DeGrasse Tyson

[@MoistHelicopter]

Please react to simulation its my favorite on the stage

[@griffbloodax1005]

You totally missed the point of the song i think. It's called Exist. Its about creation, the different sections at the start being energies forming, the big bang, formation of galaxies, etc. Where you're saying 'it's very underwater sounding', thats us crawling out of the primordial ooze. The 'slow part' where the vocal finally begins, thats where man comes into the piece. No singing before that, because man wasn't around yet. And you spoke over the Neil DeGrasse Tyson voice-over so much that you missed the most fundamental meaning of the song - his words portray so eloquently our position within the universe, and the baser elements of our own nature we need to get over. If you did listen to it a few more times, would be curious to hear your thoughts after a few more rounds.

React to Roman Sky

[@iangillies711]

He said “I’m waiting for vocals,” and I said “boy, get ready to wait for a while” Edit: I also don’t really like the way it ended musically. Don’t get me wrong, Neil DeGrasse Tyson is great, but the music was kinda meh, especially compared to the beginning.

[@Darkhalo314]

Ian Gillies Well honestly, if they would have done anything crazier, they would have taken away from the message of the song and the message of Neil Degrasse Tyson. They want you to focus on the speech, not the instruments on that part

[@iangillies711]

Darkhalo314 I get what they were trying to do with that. It’s a great plan, but I’m a guitarist so I automatically am more in tune to what the guitars are doing, and just doing the same four chords over and over again, it seemed monotonous and boring compared to the rest of the song and A7x’s other stuff. But that’s how music works, I guess. People want it to be catchy, so you gotta be attuned to those needs.

[@m3shad]

Ian Gillies There's not a whole lot going on at the end as far as guitars and bass, But I feel as thought thats probably because A. They want Neil DeGrasse Tyson's message to be prominent. And B. I believe the last few minutes was more less for Brooks to do his thing as their new Drummer. Listen to the drum fills he's throwing in during those last few minutes. I still occasionally get Goosebumps from that last 4 minutes of Exist.

[@punnkrub]

that is weird ..... in a good way lol
