Metal Musician Reacts to Avenged Sevenfold - NOBODY

[@stevenfilley7631]

I've heard it about 12 times now. It just gets better and better.

[@d3athsqvadanthem609]

It does

[@jrr667]

15h later i'm at smth like 50 this songs gonna haunt me for a few days

[@Britton_Thompson]

No. It gets more tolerable. It never rocks no matter how many times you revisit it.

[@kelvinzaragoza6349]

@@Britton_Thompson it’s more than just rock

[@partlycorn]

@@Britton_Thompson i agree. Its a song. Not bad but definitely not good. Only good thing about it is the solo

[@boeingdriver7375]

To me, the interpretation of the music video is this: A man is depressed in the world and body he lives in. So his soul travels around the earth and through history to find peace and joy. He realizes that the world is full of death and destruction and so meets the devil who then tells him he will take the man's soul to a eutopic paradise. The man agrees and lets the devil take him to this eutopic paradise in a different world. When the man arrives he realizes that this "perfect place" is actually an artificially created hell where no one else exists and everything is fake (because a perfect artificial eutopic world does not actually exists). And so the mans soul runs to the edge of this hell and jumps off into the space time continuum to then rejoin his body. The moral of the story is to be careful what you ask for because you just might get it. Be careful searching for paradise because what you think is paradise might actually be hell in the end.

[@stevenfilley7631]

What a great analysis. I bet your dead on.

[@alexsilady9906]

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I think you’re right too. I just love that since The Stage, the lyrics are so amazingly deep, questioning life, existence, our purpose. And I can’t get enough of it. Can’t wait for the rest of the album!

[@Britton_Thompson]

If you say so.... If you ask me, if the message isn't obvious the first time around, someone didn't do their job right. A 5+ minute music video should never be that subjective and left to interpretation

[@justacasualguy13]

i think its more so about life being just a dream, i mean the the album is litearally called "life is but a dream". the singer in this scene is the the peron dreaming and thats why he is saying "i am god" and "i am the sun" etc. though that is more so just the lyric side, the video itself can be interpreted in many ways which is great.

[@justacasualguy13]

@@Britton_Thompson why not though? i feel like the whole point of this album and video is getting people to think. it being more open to interpretation does just that.

[@snitchex5087]

more i listen to it more i get addicted to it, but first time hearing it was so weird and mixed emotions that i instantly started listening to it on repeat. it has so many layers that it's imposiible to catch everything at once, every more listen reveals every little secret they put in this song. it's gonna be long three months before we get album (especially after teasing us with this "controversial" song) but god damn this song will get me throu that time quickly. i am greatful to be fan of a band that isn't scared of changes and doing "unpopular" stuff

[@alexsilady9906]

This was pretty much my reaction too. Wasn’t sure what to think after the first listen, but on the 10th or so listen, I absolutely love it. Musically and lyrically, it’s so deep. They’re continuing on the same path from The Stage, but it’s new and fresh, yet completely Avenged Sevenfold.

[@mrbungle3310]

This band gets better and better unlike other mainstreams that sell out

[@alvarocardinale8910]

Truee

[@323johnnybravo]

This one grows on you. Had it on repeat at the gym. Definitely sounds like it could be on The Stage.

[@thecavalry1889]

Gotta love a sinister solo ❤️❤️

[@neelbane6899]

The solo is like the universe itself 💯

[@geoffreykelly4959]

I love the melodies and the guitar is incredible, vocals on point. The strings are awesome, it all comes together for a great jam by these boys. Great work, rock on! 👿 🎸🤘

[@selfproclaimednobody4614]

Agreed

[@robba7x]

This song gets better and better with each listen... the more u listen to it, the more u love it.... and Synyster.. he's on another level

[@eduardoceron4636]

Struggling a bit to adjust to the way he sounds now after his injuries. Syn's guitar solo is just a freaking masterpiece. Excited to see what they come up with though!!!

[@HotActionKop]

I really miss the older albums (Waking the Fallen, White Album, even The Stage) for the pure energy & performance. I like this song too but it's a million miles away from the old stuff, don't get me wrong I still love them & will buy whatever they bring out. I sincerely worry about Matt's voice, I know about his op etc.. but I really think all the years of screaming & aggressive singing has damaged his voice to the point of no coming back.... Please don't hate on me for these comments they are constructive & I think balanced.... I love the band, they're my favourite ever band, this song is great but it's just not at the same level as the old music. A7X forever

[@ricks1570]

I’d say he’s working around it. Does he sound as good as you see when he was younger of course not, but doesn’t sound horrible. Sounds better than me that’s for sure :)

[@HotActionKop]

@@ricks1570 true that Rick.. the more I play Nobody the more it's growing on me tbf

[@FreakVGM]

Holy shit theyre back

[@hmvenom]

Not gonna pretend I fully understand this song but I love the arrangement of this!! Can’t wait for this album!! The world need these guys!!

[@Zazastinker5555]

I love the aspect of Progressive rock and Alternative metal

[@mikethecollector]

"i really want to learn that part because it sounds like a good sweeping exercise" it is. sweeping arpeggio's are what make a7x, they're symphonic metal but nobody has defined that as a genre.

[@johnsonaaro]

tapping tapping tapping

[@tyladron8836]

I just hope "Life is But a Dream" has a cover of the song "Life is But a Dream" by them in it.

[@AstronautRachel]

Thoroughly enjoyed this review

[@Hejackstermusic]

Is it just me or does the mix seem of in some places? Like the first time the brass comes in. Feels like they might have put in too much at once? But overall i love this, it just grows on me. And how they use the theme, lyrics, visuals and music to make this come to life is just out of this world

[@a7xzombiekiller-130]

Missing low end?? I dare you to listen to this in a car with subs. I have 2 12s and it fucking slaps. Like huge bass. It shakes the place lol. But this song is a amazing masterpiece. A lot of people are mad because it’s not like city of evil or waking the fallen. I get it dude I loved those albums so much. Especially city of evil. Still my favorite album by them hands down. Yet at least. But the was up there. It just needed a little more. And I think this is going to be it. If they keep down this path I think this will either beat city of evil for me or at least be a close second. But anyways it’s a song to were the worst it will ever be is the first time you listen to it. I mean not bad. But that’s the worst it will be. And it will get better and better with every damn listen. Now I’m obsessed and I can not stop listening to it to and from work. And then watching reactions on KZbin to it. I’m obsessed lol.

[@MrBossell]

Song is fucking awesome. Piece of art as usual

[@deanwatson5883]

I was the same,I'm a hard A7X fan but I had 2 listen 2 this song a few times az well 🤘

[@bricehatcher8391]

I listened to this on a 2ch setup with Klipsch rf-7s and 2 15 inch subs and it's sounds nice. Could use some more low end but I enjoyed it like it is for sure.

[@lharshy2019]

That part in the chorus isn't actually sweeping. It's tapping. It's funny because I thought it was sweeping at first also but then I looked up the tabs and was like shit, already messing it up haha

[@textoffender3410]

The part of this album I'm most excited about are the 2 songs (O)rdinary and (D)eath towards the end, which I assume will be another 2 part song

[@jwalkblue7]

The song before those two is titled "G" spelling out GOD. Should be a three-parter.

[@davidcohen2474]

That low end is there my guy you need some powerful subs like I have in my truck and it hits big

[@razrhiannaspiers8506]

If you would like to react to an artist you might not have heard of before, I recommend Aesthetic Perfection with the song Gods & Gold

[@Law-Enduring-Citizen]

Can def hear his voice aging. I like the track though! Very excited for the rest of the album

[@Sn0wShepherd]

I remastered it made it beefy and accentuated those vocals a lot more. I'm going to Livestream The remastering although I really wish they would let me remix the whole thing start to finish because I hope this is not the Final Mix on this song

[@rebelmetal4233]

I've never tried so hard to like a song before. So far, it's not working. I'll keep trying. Until I stop.

[@BrutalOnyx]

I dont know how i feel about this song honestly like its much more soft and synthwavey than i remember A7X being. Like it works for bands like Linkin Park and Asking Alexandria but im not so sure if A7X can pull it off

[@Mr2it3881]

That is a vocoder

[@fiction5860]

Not puppets it’s all stop motion

[@thetrademarkclan]

It's kinda Pink Floydish to me psychedelic rock. And you really have to watch the video to get the song....

[@user-uy6xj9co4v]

I guess the fact that the rhytmic guitar was pretty much non existant is the only thing that threw me off

[@mikekautz5953]

It’s ok, I’d say like a c-. I don’t think I’ll ever listen to it again. Hope the rest is better

[@JustSomeRandomGaming]

Huge fan of A7X but this song makes me mad. If this had no video Nobody would talk about it. It's horribly mixed, chaotic in a bad way, repetitive and monotone. The arpeggios in the choruses sound like a sweeping exercise sticked on a backing track.

[@mattm1841]

i like some parts and love other parts but don't like it all together. Especially the brass portion and the chorus. The chorus is monotonous and all i can think of with the main riff is Terminator horn sound and the visual drive the terminator vibe further lol Still cant wait for the album!

[@DoinkReacts]

I like the instrumentals, but M shadows vocals don't sound good here throughout most of the song. This is the third track in the album which kknda worries me. If it was the last track I wouldnt be as worried.

[@JESSAH.]

You think they record the whole album in one go? Lmao

[@Cdogttv]

i dont see it as not sounding good, I think here its just the vocal direction for this song that sounds weird because its something M hasn't done before. im sure his voice is just fine or they wouldn't be planning a tour.

[@JESSAH.]

@@Cdogttv I got used to it after listening a few times.

[@shootamcgaven7452]

They're different..but I think the vocals sound great.

[@JESSAH.]

@@shootamcgaven7452 Yes, great stuff. This song is a piece of art for sure.

[@NachoJoker]

I don't like his voice now

[@nickshepley2566]

They sound like MUSE on this track

[@lihzzahrdspeed6631]

No they don’t

[@imshur]

Not for a second lol

[@wikedvw]

Not a fan. 👎

[@FunnyDummyGummy]

Voice got worse since the stage and the stage was already a setback within itself even though that was good this was not.

[@Britton_Thompson]

I've listened numerous times and I still don't like it. It just isn't what I was hoping for. I was REALLY hoping The Stage would end up a one-off, and they'd return to their signature A7X sound on the new album. Unfortunately, it seems they've doubled down and decided to become even more boring, pretentious, and faux-intellectual for the remainder of their careers. Ugh.... just, no, please... For Chrissakes, can they not just rock out again?! Can they not just write a few more songs about going out to the bar, getting trashed, and ending up in fist fights one last time before it's too late?! No one turns to their favorite rock/metal band for artistic statements on contemporary art. We just want them to crank the amps up as loud as they can go and ride the fucking lightening! That's it. That is all we ask of them. Why is that so hard to do nowadays?

[@bewgsy6892]

This song is the same repetative shit they did on the stage. Syns talent is just wasted now

[@GodSmacK5181]

According to whom?

[@dimmyjeams7489]

I know you didnt just call the stage repetitive

[@webbofmusic]

@@dimmyjeams7489 the stage and hail to the king we’re both repetitive

​@@webbofmusic ? I get httk, but the stage? Man, that's probably the most diverse a7x album yet lol

The hell are you talking about? Lol. The stage was amazing
