Or Buried Alive

[@Lor00D]

Also did you know just before the guitar solo, the background singing is the DRUMMER! R.I.P JIMMY SULLIVAN THE GOAT!

[@100k_shoes]

such a great drummer and vocalist the backing vocals on alpoh are so fucking good

[@littleplague5988]

He inspired my username, my friends called me Little Plague in HS because I looked so much like him. foREVer the greatest 🤘

[@100k_shoes]

@littleplague5988 that's amazing

@@Kbax3614 good drummer, not on the same level as a musician.

[@nick422742]

Supposedly the Rev disappeared for 3-5 days and when he got back he had this song and almost easy written in entirety, lyrics all instruments, everything, just ready to be recorded... the man was an absolute musical genius. RIP Rev.

[@jeremydisbrow9814]

I have not heard this but believe it 💯. The dude was amazing. He'll be missed.

[@stevefilley9765]

​@@jeremydisbrow9814you can find video of it on KZbin. I thinks it's on the making of the self titled album. It's really cool to watch. They also talk about how The Rev. Wrote LPOH.

[@nikkiclark2574]

Buried alive is a must

[@halfstrip]

YES!

[@Reineerus_The_Rat]

100% usually the first song i show people

[@hughmcbean279]

Was going to say the same.

[@ShadowRyu]

This song is literally about dying too soon, so he "escapes the afterlife" to go back to earth because he's got so much left to do. He'll be back "when the time is right"

[@caseyjazz7256]

Prophetic writing by the Rev. It's why I love this album so much and specifically this track. RIP King.

[@stevefilley9765]

Also unfortunately for us his time was right.😢

[@florianreimann3166]

You weren't expecting that because your poll people started you on the wrong stuff xD THIS is exactly the energy I expect from Avenged Sevenfold :D

[@LightningBear]

This song goes fucking crazy in the Live LBC show

[@laurabuer4714]

M Shadows believes that classical and metal music belong together. As a classically trained musician, and a metal loving listener, I could not agree more! 🤘 Didn't Queen prove that?

[@baneh1329]

It seems to always work

[@sesenol252]

Metallica S&M proves that to me. I was too young to know anything other than We Are The Champion from Queen at the time

[@torunsmok5890]

A lot of people have broken down how classical and metal structures are fundamentally the same, just with a different tone and instrument set

[@beezysbeatz4924]

"WELCOME TO THE FAMILY"

[@user-ph6dj8db8z]

The only thing you missed out on with the lyric video is seeing their late drummer, The Rev, singing his part while killing it on drums simultaneously. Any songs from their live at LBC set are amazing and show the whole band’s participation and how great they sound live!

[@rocker966627]

He definitely needs to check out the LBC performance, one of their best ever.

[@Daniyvet1264]

Yes

[@cscott3401]

I always took this song to mean leaving a relationship that he felt was too good for him. That's why it's an afterlife, it's like a heaven but not for him at the place where he was at in life. Not ready to settle down.

[@coroman267]

This song was my introduction to Avenged all the way back in 2007, its even better live so I recommend you to react to the live version in LBC!

[@Reelfilms1998]

Yeah it's fantastic live. I saw them at MSG last summer, this one was definitely a highlight of the night

[@marta_silvacarvalho]

As a headphone user, that sneeze rattled my brain 🤣🤣🤣 I was one of the people who recommended this (and other A7X songs) in the polls, and I'm sooo happy you liked it so much!! It's one of my favourite A7X songs 💪💪

[@TeddyGreyOS]

I was so far away from the mic too so imagine how my neighbours feel 💀😂 This one for me was a definite step in the right direction, so much energy in the different soundscapes!

[@bgarmstrong1446]

@@TeddyGreyOS if you dig the guitar riffs on this track check out Bat country or beast and the harlot next. Very heavy with the “dueling guitars”.

[@cactusjuice8277]

🦇 Bat country 🦇

[@davewetering7554]

Saying it again! Check out them live at the lbc. The best ever concert! Thoughts people?

[@100k_shoes]

oh hell yeah goated setlist

[@nicolerhodes3067]

SOOOOO GOOD!!! I was at the Taste of Chaos that came to Detroit that year!

[@wolfhawk1999]

Critical Acclaim for sure

[@faust5894]

The background singing was their deceased drummer as well. In fact he wrote this song (along with many others) and the manner of his death makes his own sung lyrics in this song much more chilling.

[@lukepercival3427]

C'mon Lad, you were so close to that air guitar/conductor coming out. It's what most people do with their hands. A good air guitar contains the equivalent power of a thousand dad jokes, and comes from a similar place in your soul. Also, tree pollen has come out a bit earlier this year with the blossoms, maybe that is what's setting you off a bit? It's catching me occasionally.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Buried Alive. You must hear it! I'd say it's the opposite version of this song where instead of going through all your demons and ending up in Heaven, you just slip slowy but surely into Hell. It's so great. Peace Teddy!

[@josefsieffen18]

This is one of their bigger mainstream songs and one of my personal favorites. As always, the Rev on the drums and Synyster Gates on lead guitar just fucking sing with their instruments. Another amazing one I recommend is Bat Country, crazy and fun without being too unorthodox.

[@acepar134]

"Almost Easy" is one of my faves for karaoke. People don't expect a woman to sing it. (The woman is me, lol. There are no guest female vocals in rhe actual song.) Also, it features The Rev's signature double ride on the drums. 🤌💕 R.I.P. Jimmy

[@Nerbert]

Avenged Sevenfold - Danger Line!! Incredible

[@lpsoldier2920]

Thank you for doing the lyric video because the music video is a cut version of the song

[@ryanclark8846]

One of their best songs, great choice.

[@gianlucakastner]

so happy you didn't do the music video, cause there is a big part of the intermission missing in the music video, very nice!

[@SWGamingg]

Always loved this song

[@mirtexzsaille2827]

the best song of A7X "Save Me" ureally need hear that song!

[@ella.ameen96]

Fact: the one screaming “i need another chance to live” is actually their dead drummer/friend whom they sing “so far away” for

[@omnyoton1153]

Save me. He’s gonna be blown away

[@VinzBlitz]

Highly recommend Buried Alive! One of my favorites of theirs 🧡

[@5jd1]

2:40 "A Hopefull Afterlife" your a freaking legend man, you literally can feel metal now bro, your there, 40 seconds in and you have the correct picture in mind! no lyric needed.

[@JoelLloyd-hr7cq]

You’ll have that chorus in your head all day mate. Keep revisiting it. A very contagious song 🤘🤘 Love your energy as always 👏👏

[@sandmanenters4187]

Duuude, please have a look at the live version of this from "Live at the LBC". The energy of this band on stage is ridiculously good, especially when The Rev was still with them.

[@jjsmith27]

Excited to see this reaction, such a great song

[@megnaomimusic]

This was the first Avenged Sevenfold song I ever heard and I was hooked straight away! I was taken aback by how happy the chorus is compared to the rest of the song.

[@Nigels_Wrld]

this is one of my favorite songs they've made such a great song

[@102ndsmirnov7]

One thing that I don't see mentioned much in the comments is that the song was written by their drummer, Jimmy "The Rev". He also has some of the most incredible vocals on this song.

[@bareakon]

I think the most literal interpretation is the protagonist is having a near death experience (or some kind of Dante's Inferno type deal), has gone to heaven and reconnected with deceased loved ones, and thinks "No, I'm not ready, I still have more to do with my life, and I hope you'll let me back in when my time comes" And as with any literal story, you can take away whatever metaphor adds the most value to your life and artistic experience.

[@theraven7790]

If he doesn't listed to hail to the king by them I'm gonna be sad.

[@thetej1098]

Dude FUCk yess! Mighty props for doing the lyric video

Bat country or beast and the harlot.

[@kennymack252]

The break in this song is crazy.

[@theturtlemoves9310]

The lack of cohesion but a tale in every song is pretty much exactly why A7X is my favorite band. I love watching you react to the same things that get me every time. I've also never heard this version of the song so those strings came as a surprise to me.

[@dillzilla4454]

basically every album is a 180 from the previous one which really makes the gap between releases feel small.

[@snitchex5087]

you said this song feels like a rollercoaster but if u wanna hear real rollercoaster of a song from this band react to: Unbound (the wild ride)

[@EBEZAplaysgames]

Sorry about the cat allergy, I just watched this with my cat, and clearly that's what got you! Wonderful reaction, as always!

[@ryanwild3056]

10:10 thats synester gates on the electric guitar hes amazing

[@dillonsronce2583]

A7x is very underrated band. Imo especially the vocals of m. Shadows.

[@Andjelka99]

I get that someone may not like them especially for Shadows vocal tone but I love bend more cause of it, it separates him from other singers more. Never had issues

[@Andjelka99]

the reason for videos and a7x is their videos are incredibly deep and high budget. all of these were directed by jimmy

[@-HAYABUSA-]

They have videos breaking down some songs to show how much layers they have in them.

[@wandorian]

You MUST watch and listen to their live performance in LBC, best and most powerful concert ever! Keep up the great work lad!

[@dakotalynde1913]

So there's a few metal bands that also play strings in the middle of all the guitars and drums. A band named Imminence from Sweden. The singer well songs screams and also plays the violin which I never thought a violin with heavy guitars would sound so good together but it gave me chills it was so good. And parkway drive also does the same thing and they perform live with the strings. It's fuckin incredible.

[@steve-yl5vf]

Buried alive next 👀

[@williammoye6997]

Check out Buried alive .. the lyric video is excellent

[@johnstaniszewski8690]

Bless you

[@JD-dq1vs]

You just experienced the POV of a hater. They try figuring them out and it pisses them off. Been listening since 06 and and I STILL can't figure out their next move! 😂

[@nicolerhodes3067]

I also recommend Brompton Cocktail! One of my favorites! God DAYUM Jimmy was a monster on those drums!

[@ShadowRyu]

A7X is always changing their sound and style. Learn to expect nothing but perfection every time

[@Marc-xo2rx]

The stage has to be your next, their best song ;) After that, Save me and Cosmic !

[@thekillingtomat]

dude, this song was on like NHL07 and was my introduction to A7X. its still my favorite song by them. there is just something special when that chorus hits.

[@robbymadani27]

Avenged Sevenfold Live @LBC ❤️‍🔥

[@MichaelRolfe-ke9qo]

Buried Alive you would love, but also Strength of the World if you want some genius

[@carlosocano6036]

Finally!!!!!!!! A reactor who doesn’t care about videos!!! Honestly as much as I love music videos, a lot of reactors focus to much on them than they do the song so thank you!!

[@jbeezy4duhwin]

❤ this band. Going to the concert this weekend!!!!!

[@5jd1]

7.40 I know right?!? Trust man your gonna love all the nuance in this album!! and you haven't even started with this track yet!so much to come!

[@Didkngify]

If there is a band that sounds even better live that is A7X, Live in the LBC is a MUST

[@Sekowon]

Idk about anymore, but used to Shinedown sounded amazing live, was honestly hard to tell if it was studio track playing or not

[@TheDylls]

3:30 Avenged Sevenfold is my favourite band of all time... "Fuck this band!" is arguably the main reason WHY 😂❤

[@thesuffering9390]

Gotta do "I won't see you tonight" part 1 and 2

[@Andjelka99]

Man guitars.... To this day Synyster Gates is one of the best out there, I love that man ❤

[@dillzilla4454]

i wouldn't say he is one of the best playing the guitar but as far as writing he is unbelievably good at making things fit the song perfectly

[@JINJ-kr2yr]

Favourite song!

[@nicolasrobin9014]

If you're looking for a journey, go check their song ''Exist'' from The Stage or listen to any of the new songs of their recent album. It's a wild ride !

[@5jd1]

there is a big reason why this song is on there! in fact you'll likely find that many songs from this album find their way to your channel. Seriously impressive, cinematic experience this album, totally outside of any comfort zone for metal and for me, the most accomplished piece of work by avenged. Which is controversial when you consider everything they have achieved, but as a music writer, this is the album. plus it holds a lot of nostalgic value to myself through the best and worst of times in life. Enjoy Ted! peace!

[@HotActionKop]

Love watching your Avenged Sevenfold reactions, you really get in to it... love that. They did a concert some years ago which was made in to a DVD (it's on here) called Live in the LBC - the sound mix on this concert is like nothing I've ever heard before and the performance on stage by the group is top draw. I wouldn't expect you to watch the whole thing, but would you consider giving a listen to Critical Acclaim Live in the LBC please?? It's all over KZbin and I promise you that you'll really enjoy it.... Also I know you enjoy lyrics, there are subs included so you can see the words too

[@I_forgot1]

I lost it at 7:00 when he just straight up leaves😭

[@IRipp3Rr]

Very good reaction. I'm glad you got to experience something from A7X that you liked. I got a little disappointed that you didn't really like "So Far Away" (from what I could remember) but everyone has their own take and taste on the same song. I have a lot of songs that I love from A7X. From the ones you've reacted to, I really love Afterlife, So Far Away, and Nightmare. Here are 5 of my favorite songs from A7X that you haven't reacted to: 1. Unholy Confessions 2. Beast and the Harlot 3. Critical Acclaim 4. Almost Easy 5. Not Ready to Die

[@jfk-.9345]

So you saying you like music that feels deliberate, and well thought out. Maybe check out save me, the stage, or cosmic, all by avenged sevenfold. Some of my personal favourites

[@Oneway_myway]

Cosmic, Nobody, The Stage…recommend these. ANY of them. All of them.

[@dillzilla4454]

nobody is a bit boring to me but cosmic and the stage are both easily top 5 for them. most of the stage songs are also probably a good fit for him as well since they are more about concepts and a lot less dark.

[@lukestark3]

They're headlining Download festival in June this year. Go watch them live! Get a Sunday day ticket and have a taste of a metal festival 🤘🤘

[@obsoleteorange]

I have had a lot of friends growing up that loved Avenged but I always felt the same way, nothing ever quite grabbed me as all of their songs have the same general feel to them and so it never quite hooked me. It's like all of the best generic parts of metal but I love unique and unexpected bands more often. This song is fire though!

[@rahmatasyari6414]

U have to watch the drumer singing

[@baguswaloyo9644]

You must watch the live version on LBC🔥🔥

[@michellesmith7363]

I think this is their best song

[@laurieemme1534]

I agree!

[@pufferzsola69]

I'm so happy you enjoyed it so much! This song is right in my childhood. The band was at its peak while the Rev - the drummer - was alive. Sinister is ... sinister on the guitar with these solos :D

[@JINJ-kr2yr]

‘Almost easy’ next!
