Some of your 300k+ Subs can be introduced to a song that otherwise they NEVER would have heard or known about. Kind of like watching you start your journey with *TOOL!!!* 😏😎

For those here complaining about the song being metal. Metal is a genre that has saved my life and countless others. It’s given birth to some of the greatest musicians of all time, and many amazing songs bands have come from it. It’s a genre with some of the best fanbases in all of entertainment. You don’t have to understand metal to appreciate what it is, or what it has done for others.

If anyone dosent know this song is based off the 1998 movie "fear and loathing in LAS VEGA. in this move there is a part where the attorney and his defendant was driving through the desert triping on acid shrooms you name it and while they were driving in the night a bunch of bats are coming from everywhere surrounding all around.

Not sure what age you are Polo but there's a decent chance the game you heard the song on was Madden 06 with McNabb on the cover

[@dom_acer]

Avenged sevenfold made music for Call of Duty Zombies specifically. In the Black Ops series. Look up “Not Ready to Die” by them and you’ll recognize it immediately if you’ve played zombies. Edit: also “Shepherd of fire” also in B02 zombies and one of my favorites from them.

[@Liberty1977]

[@chrisklema9992]

This was a "Guitar Hero" song. I think thr 3rd game? Probably why you recognize it. A7X has a great catalogue with a variety sounds you may enjoy.

[@sobrietyisoverrated]

This is A7X’s love letter to Hunter S. Thompson. If you watch the first 10 min of the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and then watch the video for Bat Country, you’ll understand a little better. “We can’t stop here, this is BAT COUNTRY.” Actually, you should probably watch the entire movie. Johnny Depp’s portrayal of HST is fantastic and yes… it’s a true story.

[@AzarathMetreon]

“I don’t know why I know this song, but I know this song.” Madden lol

[@dutchessofmilpitas]

Love Avenged Sevenfold! Mostly the older “Rev-era” ones. They did a song remembering the Rev after he passed, called “So Far Away” which is quite emotional. One of my favorites by this band is “Afterlife”. It isn’t too heavy for those who dislike metal. Most metalheads do not consider Avenged Sevenfold to be metal at all, as a matter of fact.

[@BigMac072]

This was 100% on Madden 2006 and NHL 2006. Those songs, whether I liked them or not, are seared into my brain from playing those games for hundreds of hours. That said, A7X is awesome and you should definitely do more. My next recommendation would be Critical Acclaim (live in the LBC). I'm sure people will say to do A Little Piece of Heaven, which is an amazing song, but the video provides some shock value that people like to see reactors experience. I would say to save A Little Piece of Heaven until you get a few more under your belt from them. Great reaction, man!
