[@rafaelreyes1732]

I went to a rock festival once where Avenged Sevenfold was the headliner. It started raining so a couple bands canceled. A7X decided to stay. By the time they came on the rain turned into a thunderstorm. A7X also had massive flamethrowers as part of the show. So there we were, with thunder and lightning crashing in the background, flames all around us, going hard in a mosh pit to this song. One of the craziest moments of my life. I'll never forget M. Shadows yelling out "This city is fucking crazy. You people are fucking wild"

A similar thing happened to me in Rockingham, NC when Metallica was on stage. It started raining with thunder and lightning. They had fire and whatnot on that tour but they didn't need it. All I remember is the lightning making it's own light show and the 4 guys playing their heart out. It seemed like the harder it rained or the nastier it was, the harder they played and the more we loved it. That was a beast of a concert.

[@kennethpeterson7524]

[@gerardjamesmartin5462]

The imagery of each band member in the Insane Asylum is a representation of how each of them felt when the original drummer The Rev, passed away and how they felt coming to terms with that loss

[@crucifixhound]

Hella late to the party on this one, the imagery of the video is also heavily inspired by the film "Jacob's Ladder", a pretty heavy movie that late A7x drummer The Rev was a massive fan of. Word of caution if anyone checks out the film, it deals with some pretty intense subject matter.

[@rubengonzalez7870]

The drums at the end of the song was a tribute to the drummer who died! His stage name was The Rev

[@sethyboizzzz]

Rip to the rev he was the reason I got into drumming.

[@dustinledbetter5647]

The rev and Joey were top teir talented

[@wwebadgerse]

"I'm tempted to turn it up, but im not." HE'S LEARNING :O

[@LuckyPon3]

What's funny is I immediately said "You don't turn up an Avenged Sevenfold song" just after I turned up the headphone volume on my PS4

[@DexterityYTC]

This song, as well the entire album by the same name was dedicated to Jimmy "The Rev", their drummer who OD'ed. The lyrics are about their pain of the loss, but also their anger at him for letting himself get that bad. It's actually incredibly heartbreaking when you learn that this song is about someone they grew up with and loved like a brother.

[@kylewarner93]

Pretty sure the OD was accidental. They were celebrating at a wedding and he took his meds because of his enlarged heart condition and was drinking.

[@TheRoadrunnerguy]

The Rev wrote most of this album.

[@sethyboizzzz]

I might be an idiot but I just realized on the album cover it says forever but the r e and v are capitalized I feel dumb as hell for just realizing

[@riseupradar]

I saw them in concert in 2010. They started setting up guitars and stuff on the stage and then there was a guy walking on the scaffolding up in the rafters. He looked drunk. He was staggering around everyone started yelling get down. The spot light got put on him. He then produced a noose put it around his neck and jumped before anyone really knew what was going on. As soon as the slack tightened and he hung there. The lights in the place went dark and there was a fireball and the first chord of the song kicked in. It was like getting punched in the gut and it was awesome. The dude was wearing a harness and they got him down discreetly. This is a true story. I will never forget that show.

This song is in direct contrast to their song “Afterlife”. One is about someone in the afterlife trying to escape and get a second chance at life while the other is about someone arriving in hell and realizing they’ll be there forever. There’s even some call backs to the afterlife music video.

They're absolutely insane live, and he sounds just as good live.. and they dominate the stage

[@druaddams]

This is one of those songs where, even if the song itself is AMAZING, the context of its release is SO important, because it also dictates little elements and 'easter eggs' that you can pick up on the video. For all of us, long time A7X fans, this video was one of the most powerfull ever, and the release of the whole album is one I think none of us is ever going to forget. As much as I love other albums, listening to this record for the first time is one of those experiences I can remember like it was yesterday, because it was painful, exciting, and just overwhelming altogether. Their drummer, The Rev, passed while they were writing the album, and for a while we all didn't even know if the band was going to continue without him. They decided to go on and, as a tribute to him, you can listen to some vocals he recorded before passing, and all his drums were recorded by one of his favorite drummers ever (Mike Portnoy). This video was released in may 2010, about 5 months after he passed, and there are iconic elements from previous videos related to Jimmy in the rooms. Idk, I could go on for hours hahaha I just thought it was important to provide at least some context for those not as familiar with the band that might want to know a little bit more. With that said, you're 100% correct. To experience this song live is MIND-FUCKING-BLOWING. One of the best moshpits I've ever been a part of.

I wish someone would request What the Dead Men Say - Trivium, it's from their new album and it's got a music video. Pure art.

[@thiendipham828]

I prefer In Waves or A Gunshot to the Head of The Trepidation. But maybe I choose WTDMS first

[@AlfredSoul]

I saw them at a festival and they played a _huge_ set, so all their really good songs, the popular and the unpopular, had a time to shine and that show was damn crazy. M. Shadows, the singer, literally flew in with a helicopter during the concert.

[@XxEezy]

this is the reason why i have been their biggest fan for straight 14 years... their music changed my life and R.I.P to Jimmy Sullivan

[@yianniskoutras4921]

React to “Critical Acclaim live in LBC” you won’t regret it

[@kurniadayamahesa5497]

React Avenged Sevenfold - Beast And The Harlot

[@filippos.archontis]

Fuck yea

[@mattmcsherry761]

Not the music video tho, should do LBC. Music video cuts a lot of good shit. Same with Bat Country.

[@SKY13.]

I'd prefer Bat country want him to trip on the visuals lol

[@mattmcsherry761]

@@SKY13. The video is cool, but it unfortunately cuts out a lot of good parts of the song.

[@nanaopfernandes]

what a great surprise discovering your channel!!! gonna watch all of your avenged reactions for sure. thank you for sharing and listening with an open mind!

[@chrisvieau6781]

Nobody ever mentions how good Syn is at solos. Solos have become rarer and rarer nowadays in favor of breakdowns, but A7x keeps that old tradition going. They really shedded that emo screamy style a while back. A shame they've been just out of the spotlight for the last decade or so, they deserve more fame like when they where in the 2000's.

[@aadhvanchaudhry1625]

I was scared you won't be reacting to Avenged after your experience with A Little Piece of Heaven But I had been waiting and hoping for this reaction nonetheless cuz I knew you'd get mad hyped😂💪

[@greenday3091]

He actually did Hail to The King after Piece of Heaven. So he didn't completely swear off them lol. I'm just hoping this leads him to doing more A7X.

[@sausgay]

Love this song!!! Ou should react to Natural Born Killer by Avenged Sevenfold

[@heathertheros5342]

I’ve seen them live. Their whole set is amazing, man. From pyro to visuals. Energy is amazing

[@poptheweasel87]

Layedbakdfr would be blown away by afterlife’s solo, or just unholy confessions at any moment.

[@karlsmith2570]

Hey, Layedbak A little bit of information about this song: This song was one of the last songs that was written by the original drummer, Jimmy "The Rev"Sullivan, prior to his untimely death, he'd actually written the drum track but hadn't recorded it prior to his untimely death, hence the empty drum kit displayed at the end of the video and the reason why you never saw the the drummer's performance throughout the video's runtime When the band did record the drum track, they'd recruited Dream Theater drummer, Mike Portnoy, to play the drums on this song and offered to have him in the music video, but Portnoy declined to appear in the video as he'd felt that it'd take away from the feeling of the song and that it implied that he'd officially become the drummer for Avenged Sevenfold in the wake of Rev's passing

[@tiesgra4572]

keep up the rock reactions man, we love them. could u react to 'like a stone' by Audioslave?

[@joncostello8404]

Fuck that. Cochise.

[@Matthiass721]

Man I love your shit bro. Love to see appreciation for music even if it isn’t your usual genre. And I can vouch for the mosh pits being insane at A7X shows. They are incredible live.

[@ev1lsm1th]

Whats good dude, just subbed to your channel. All of the crazy shit in this video is actually throwbacks to their other videos, but this video is showing their supposed reality, eluding to the lead singer conjuring it all up in his head. Watching the videos and then watching this one is like a sad turn of events in a hard hitting epic.

[@gunnarjohansen1964]

Hey it's fun to watch him to react to transitions and ONE by Metallica has one of the smoothest ones let's be honest

[@a7xlover4ever]

Seen Avenged 9 times and they’re one of the best bands I’ve ever seen live.

[@Ancientspacey]

Stumbled upon your video. Ive been to one of their concerts. I will say. Hearing a full stadium screaming “its your fucking nightmare” all at once is one of the most spine tingling experiences ive ever heard

[@lashedsuns4529]

Was at a rock festival in IA where they were preceded by Disturbed. A7X opened up with this song; but I forgot to mention that they opened this song with a fake corpse being hanged.... the pits opened up almost immediately. Rest in power, Rev -- you're gone, but never forgotten.

[@daddydeluxe8125]

Avenged Sevenfold “Unholy Confessions” Live in Long Beach California!

[@taylorkitchen2412]

I’d love to see a Killswitch engage This fire reaction

[@Mrs.Pritchard]

Seen them live about 7 times, as an avid fan of A7X, I love this song so much and it is always fun in person! #RIPTHEREV loved your reaction!

[@genocideangel6099]

Their concerts are awesome. They are all SO talented.

[@SpydrSnipes]

Avenged sevenfold - MIA & gunslinger , songs are just a whole other level

[@michaelsmoak691]

finally someone else who gets it, both f those are like my favorite songs, although i'd have to say mia cuz it was my favorite for too long

[@gold_4307]

Avenged sevenfold is where it’s at you should do more rock music trash or passes.

[@allybratz]

As someone whose been to 3 Avenge Sevenfold concerts I can absolute say without a doubt that this one gets people acting up. Also whenever they play Welcome To The Family for the new fans it never stops being amazing, truly a great band to see live.

[@dannyenghauser5158]

seen them live 3 times. played it everytime. been noticed by the vocalist, lead guitarist, and bassist. greatest shows of my life!
