This could be the best performance of "Critical Acclaim" out there. Matt's voice was probably the strongest it's ever been during the self-titled tours.

[@WesleyAlves42]

For me the best Critical Acclaim performance was in Rock In Rio 2013

[@brandonowen422]

For me I think live in LBC was the best

[@TomWhaley621]

Yeah, the LBC one is great. I tend to not count the DVD sometimes since it's all polished and professionally mixed. So not counting the DVD, I would probably go with this performance haha band was at the top of their live game during the self-titled touring cycle.

[@TomWhaley621]

WesleyAlvesGames it's kind of hard for me to get into "Critical Acclaim" performances without The Rev as much. It's great that they keep his vocal track in there... I wouldn't have it any other way... but it still seems like an integral part of the performance is missing without his live vocal there. It just isn't the same. Honestly, I would kind of like for them to put the song away for a little. It's been played at every single show since it came out.

[@WesleyAlves42]

Tom Whaley I understand

[@christianchavez7675]

Anyone else come here to hear the Rev?

"UWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Shadows,Matt 2008

[@swifty64]

RIP Rev. Shame on the camera men not focusing on him when he was singing the chorus parts!

[@thecodester8489]

The Revs vocals at 3:55 4:57 6:59

[@evakristinthomsen8578]

So rare you find bands that sound better live than on record.. utterly impressive

[@user-xw2ik9md1g]

yes 👍

[@AlanBenardiWijaya]

The Rev want to be popular at 00:44 ..

[@mikeguitar41]

I always wondered if it was him who said "that's true" when the interviewer was talking about drinking beer haha it was probably Syn though

[@nocturnal7155]

9thmaster it was jimmy not syn

[@blacktobeachhomeblacktobea2438]

Alan Be lol

[@duorr1090]

R.I.P the rev

[@Agustinus91]

Syn and Zacky played double lead, Johnny behind them with his horror bass, and Jimmy sang for chorus part... Such as a great 21st century metal band...

[@sixtyninety]

that interviewer went from really awkward to really flirty to really awkward over and over again lol

[@RichardFriendartist]

Rev's voice was so strong..man.

[@DeadeyesX311]

2:53 i was like what the fuck zacky v's guitar sounds like an old nintendo

[@patriciolopez1909]

VoltaStuff He uses a distortion more lowed that syn, because his sound is like a old nintendo jaja

[@PeroxidePrincess1208]

I love when Zacky says "to be honest we're handsome guys" and Syn smiles like he's proving Zacky's point. :)

[@valiante1998]

4:43 lmao Syn Tablood gossip queen worthless BLEH

[@ace_pororo1455]

He just had to XD

[@kaspermord1519]

valiante1998 xD

[@nocturnal7155]

valiante1998 He cant just control himself

[@bryanurbina21]

Damn I wish his voice comes back to this level!!

[@nysm6661]

"I heard that you are 5 best friends" I cried so hard when I thought that now she would have said "4 best friends"... :(

[@nabirelizza7]

the cameraman will take that huge L forever for not focusing on jimmy singing his part

[@Dan21792]

Omfg, hearing Jimmy's voice

[@DhruvMittal]

Our secret is that we have short hair, so we have a lot of years to grow it.

[@XxLiKeaBo55xX]

thank you

[@violentkiller8]

RIP REV WE WILL MISS U FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS

[@BrandonJamesH]

No other band can ever match the authentic, overwhelming energy in a live setting the way Avenged Sevenfold can. Most bands disappoint or simply meet your expectations, while Avenged Sevenfold blows your expectations out of proportions making an instant addict out of the viewer. I remember distinctively the first time I watched Critical Acclaim live. My heart rate exploded to the momentum as if I were jogging, and I literally broke a sweat. Never would I think that possible. To the Hall of Fame.

[@joaopedroreis9404]

matt's voice in the selftitled tour is priceless

[@hssldmg728]

that was amazing!!!! clearly M.'s voice has improved! (since the batcountry grasspop) wow speachless!!!! Bravo!!!

[@IagoNobre]

This. Is. PERFECT 😍

[@ahmedakifrahman]

0:44 - Did anyone notice the Rev :'( Miss you " #The_Rev " a lot.. R.I.P The Rev...:'(

[@vidiofeikv3288]

[@valysixxsixxsixx9078]

[@Ultraxsiempre]

[@cheron60]

[@ryanvitty9743]

Holy shit, Johnny doesn't have a mohawk here!

[@latoniaestill9286]

Ryan vitty he didn't around that time XD

[@MansonLove1988]

I love how that vein pops out of Matt's neck when he's singing. :)

[@jenniferbostrom2679]

''You also have a lot female fans, can you explain that'' ... ''women and metal is a little difficult combination''. Pissed me off so much, difficult combination my ass!

[@afiqmuzli2272]

just relax

[@iputcorninmypp522]

shut the fuck up that was coming from a woman u feminist

[@jnightmare0]

I know more girls who like metal than guys 😂😂😂

[@nocturnal7155]

Jennifer Boström that interviewer doesnt knoq sh*t

[@fifa22isshite90]

Jennifer Boström cause men are seen as more brutal and aggressive than women which is true to an extent but kinda unfair, whereas you guys are seen as more airy fairy. You should look at it as being more of a dig at metal fans being aggressive and complete nutters rather than anything to do with gender cmon

[@metalstyler95]

0:44 The Rev

[@SincerelyMeVEVO]

0:16 "we had some real, classic, metal dinosaurs on the main stage"

[@nocturnal7155]

4:45 Lol syn just cant control himself

[@MatariiXI]

Possibly the best performance of Critical Acclaim ive seen, maybe even better then LBC

[@WesleyAlves42]

***** for me the best Critical Acclaim performance was in Rock in Rio 2013

[@seattlanis00]

lol zacky butchered the solo tho xD

[@Xylaax]

idk if its just me but it bothers me the cameraman never gets a goodshot of the rev playing or singing period

[@KarlstadDrums]

Either it's the cameramen are stupid or he editor being stupid, I have never seen a show before where they film The Rev that little, something is really wrong

[@VengeancePlague]

I already knew that Jimmy had an amazing voice, just listen to him in Pinkly Smooth

[@KarlstadDrums]

Those cameramens sucked! They were way to zoomed in and the worst!!! Why the hell did they never focus on the Rev?! Not even when he was singing! The drummers are one of the most important parts of the bands!

[@tataaditya19]

Well.. Drummers literally leads a Metal/Rock song. Especially for A7X So technically. The Rev is the Leading part of The Music 😃

[@tataaditya19]

For Example, you'll Always see some opening tempo beat like 2 or 4 times he hits the crash or other cymbals before the song starts so they can start the song at the same time.. so.. Drummers are very important at metal songs

[@KarlstadDrums]

+Tata Adityawarnam (TataAditya19) Yeah i totally agree with you! I have played some metal drums myself

[@jollyvanlalsangi2166]

Probably paid by other metal bands cause they envy them and want them to flop but haha a7x and flop dont match

[@nag1bator]

Rest in peace, REV! You was amazing man!

[@fre760]

the "Rev" was one bad ass mofo with a great voice that will be missed :'-(

[@MrJc100753]

I miss Jimmy! :( he was one of the best parts of this amazing band.

[@rizaladhigunan4055]

Swear god, i miss the Rev. Nowadays, every concert that has the rev voices is just played on a back sound.

[@Hallomean13]

[@averagevideogameplayer7713]

ah the still-only-slightly-post-CoE days when Shads could still hit that C5 like he did when he said "dug your own grave". His voice also had that power and fullness while still being raspy that I bet he misses nowadays

[@TheXervex]

They are focking aweosme live!

[@Skitty433]

Ahh! I squealed with happiness when Jimmy walked by-3

[@Bambiszem]

back in the old days when syn'd been full of enthusiasm and joy on stage...no wonder why he's been the way he is lately; that tall genius is no longer behind him on the drums...

[@NinaAraujoCarvalho]
