You would love the song Unbound (the wild ride) from the self titled album

[@floresgt3]

It’s the drums and the tempo plus the humbleness of the drummer. The rev you already know

[@elbegev8550]

The Rev had it all … brilliant drummer and songwriter, passion, charisma, and had the most unique voice

[@cjroberts2566]

Who else heard this for the first time back in Need For Speed: Most Wanted

[@ashura562]

Yep, my favorite racing game ever

[@sanjayadias891]

My most favourite game in the world. And i beat the game 7 times in 2 years. I got so mad while playing the game because its so hard espacially heat level 5 with suv and c6 corvette cops and your worst nightmare Cross.

[@sam93931]

good times huh :D

[@clearsky4042]

Nostalgia

[@thetrackerlist]

When I was young, because of this game, I met this band.

[@santi141414]

If you love their harmonies, maybe you should to check Burn it down from this album, I think is one of their best harmonies

[@juliangonzalez8091]

!!! Yes, it’s such an underrated song man. It’s one of my favorites.

[@ThatDamnDoughboy]

Blinded and Burn it have been my favorites by them off this album for years

[@MonkeyGoatLicker]

Music is subjective, but to me, this song is NOT about blind people. It is the fact the people are metaphorically blind when it comes to radical political leaders. The whole song seems to be about the government. You can't hide from them, you can't run from them, and they would rather you be in hell than them out of office. Relissen with lyrics and think about the government and the people. Its meaning is incredible.

[@JohnFaulkner56]

I agree

[@LeonardoKlemes]

Roman Sky would be a great choice for the next song. Even the live version 👀

[@Twinspinner]

ESPECIALLY the live version. That Grammy museum performance was almost identical to the studio version, it's amazing

[@dillzilla4454]

That Grammy's live recording is the only time I've heard hail to the king and actually liked it.

[@SepulangNgantor]

totally agree!

[@Spot-t]

I one up this!

[@toreetotz6661]

Such a great f*cking song... so underrated? underplayed? underappreciated? All of the above.

[@mjstories7181]

So a couple things I've noticed in search of the "Sevenfold harmony sauce": - They almost NEVER use the neck pickup, all of it is bridge - It's very high end and biting, not a very pleasant sound on its own but cuts amazingly - The tones are generally very different from left to right, one being a Marshall and the other being a Bogner, or one being a 5150 and the other being a Diezel. P - The harmonies aren't static, sometimes one guitar will play the same pattern twice while the other plays a 3rd under it the first time and a 6th over it the second time. Very interesting video, thank you for taking such a deep dive into my favorite band.

[@tatabrunetti]

Simulation from The Stage is CRAZY

[@uncleboobs625]

yes bro

[@noahsoto6905]

AMEN

[@marcroach5595]

I agree 😊

[@tompramanaaccount8892]

Being Avenged Sevenfold fans then play Need For Speed Mostwanted surprised me as a kid when this song being played while racing. Very nostalgic, good times!

[@rodsk8dude731]

First time it played to me(and first time that I heard the song) was on the first boss race, against Sonny. It's a perfect boss song.

[@gooshakgaming7421]

I feel like you should listen to some of their b-side album 'Diamond in the Rough'. Absolute bangers. Personally Dancing Dead off that album is one my all time favourites of theirs.

[@meleevids]

Trashed and scattered next please! best song from the album

[@puppetmaster8551]

Idk if I’d say it’s the best but it is fuckin awesome.

[@slowmotionmne]

Buried Alive man 😁 Avenged’s “stairway to heaven”

[@siratmohaiminulislam8677]

You missed the 'vocal behind backing vocals' when they say this: Running, don't go back and fight, too many you'll lose (And as clowns you follow suit behind the blood between the red and white and blue but it's too deep for you to see and everyone eventually will take the step 'cause it's in sight you take the left I will take the right I feel the hate you've built for me and I say pay attention baby) and this The business at hand tonight, make the people choose (I see another side in you but there's not much more I can do from on the outside looking in your government is listening to push you on the story of immortal father mortal son give them your mind and all your wealth the cycle will rebirth itself) probably that lyric video does not have it, google has it! :D

[@siratmohaiminulislam8677]

Became their fan after listening to this. It was featured in need for speed most wanted OST. found them there and never looked back!

[@hunterjohnson1360]

Lamb of god is very good at matching the vocals with the lead guitar

[@plm6523]

"Simulation" from The Stage would be a cool song to look into

[@haazelnut4403]

It's only natural that you do Strength of The World next

[@polnarefffan9132]

You should listen to I Won’t See You Tonight part 1 and 2, it’s so good both parts and they work perfect together

[@siluria9_]

My favorite A7X music since I discovered it. The transitions are so goddamn good and that outro is simply unmatched

[@ronglua614]

The closest on harmonies have been with Lovebites on Soldier Stands Solitarily. Syn is one of her top 5 guitar heroes.

[@dicodec]

midori?

[@ronglua614]

@@dicodec yes Midori. I thought I had included that.

[@11Marcuswillcott]

Dude! Your breakdowns give me a whole new appreciation for the insanity and nuances that is this masterpiece of an album!

[@NeillRichard]

You should react to The Rev & Syn's band before they joined Avenged Sevenfold. They're called Pinkly Smooth. I recommend their song "Mesmer" & "McFly" I think you'll like those. Looking forward to it.

[@keclekgamng6424]

love pixel and nasal,mezmer,the body of died, and mc fly,,best song

[@prestondigitation]

It's the harmonic minor scale on those guitar harmonies. Super classical sounding and just sounds so epic in a metal setting

[@codypolasek6372]

Great video! Another suggestion would be "The Fight." It is off the Diamonds in the Rough album. If you want another sad song like "Save Me" and "Fiction" though, listen to 4:00 AM by A7X.

[@puppetmaster8551]

Until the end and the fight are so fire, best off of the diamonds record. Also he did save me and fiction already

[@ThisIsTheEskimo]

The Fight is my favorite song to play on guitar, it's so much fun aha and Blinded In Chains is easily my favorite for bass just for the ending

[@keithjones5096]

The Rev’s drumming masterpiece imo

[@putradesa8210]

When you going to race in nfs most wanted and this song is playing, you know you gonna win that race

[@wawanahmad1877]

The guitar harmony at 12:25 is amazing

[@ladygeorge505]

Love these detailed track reviews from such a fun album!

[@tonninsetelit]

IF that scream is demonic you should watch/react to Avenged Sevenfold - Critical acclaim LIVE IN LBC. The first scream is FREAKING AWESOME! Like the whole song! with THE REV's vocals too on chorus

[@dimasdeepee5023]

NOT READY TO DIE Bro..

[@alvinalazmi]

You will see in the comment section many people suggest various song for the next. This is why i love A7X they have so many great songs and that's a fact!

[@theereverend2957]

The whole bridge of this song is what makes this song my favorite from City of Evil

[@yunolive21]

bro, i love ur quality content that you made. This is unique and no one react like from ur perspective. I love how u breakdown the music. Keep it up man!

[@jeffjohnson7011]

I never get tired of thos song

[@snitchex5087]

i know many people suggest many different songs but i would recomend: second heartbeat remenission also since u like prog metal i guarantee you The Stage ablum is a must to do, especially songs like: sunny dispostion simulation higher god damn fermi paradox paradigm

[@jamiefoster6186]

please never stop reacting to avenged sevenfold

[@jamiefoster6186]

you seem to be super into their city of evil era so you should definitely check out burn it down or trashed and scattered. the amount of layers and madness going on in trashed and scattered is so entertaining i think you’d lose your shit

[@omegashinra7672]

This is genuinely becoming my favourite reactions on YT. It might just be because City of Evil is one of my favourite albums ever, but I always crack an involuntary smile when I see a new upload from the album. And like the last 3 CoE reactions, I'm going to ask for Betrayed again, because it's a fucking belter!

[@tristan8823]

Keep the A7X reactions coming! You're one of the best on KZbin at these and I love revisiting my favorite album of all time.

[@jadenaustin4999]

DANCING DEAD IS SO GOOD PLZ!! or simulation, set me free, or critical acclaim

[@erikasouthern9977]

I love the outro of this song so much🥲❤

[@zacharyallen1878]

Great reaction bro! Check out "Higher" & "Fermi Paradox". Both songs have a lot to break down. Keep it up!!!

[@mukulbasumatary4592]

Remembering those days when i used to play nfs mw my car at full throttle and this music plays 😮

[@NightOwl-zgmfx20a]

love the bassline in this song so much 👍🔥

[@pranagaclan]

Second heartbeat

[@AryZarlian]

Danger line, second heartbeat, remenission all by avenged sevenfold

[@nickshepley2566]

Omg that’s so true about the harmonies!!

[@kai_henrik]

Legendary drum fills!

[@dicodec]

Hell yea!

[@tomguglielmo9805]

Tin man - America has a bunch of soft harmonics. Mainly with the verses, but also with the chorus too. Strumming chords hidden under the chorus as he speaks. It doesn't really extend away from the vocals, but it's there!

[@messynate]

had this on repeat at one time

[@st.boanerges]

Ahh, good old days!

[@tplouffe9226]

I forget if I commented this before, but homie, idk if you would want to delve into non-metal bands, but Queen's deep cut's have a LOT of what youre talking about. The guitar harmonies are completely unique to them. And Brian May's signature, on top of orchestral guitar, is duetting with the Vocals and creating counter melodies and stuff. All the stuff you love A7X for, Queen does too, which is why they are both my 2 favorite bands. I reccommend maybe The Millionaire Waltz, The March of The Black Queen, or Father to Son. Very prog, close to metal at points, but musicaly absolutely flawless in every way, mixing, playing, harmonies, everything. And with these songs, there is zero artificial sounds, no synths, no keyboard, which makes it even more insane what they were able to do. They prided themselves on zero synths until 1980 when they wanted to try it out, but thats 7 albums prior that are pure synthless/aritical soundless, its insane.

[@CypherPaw]

You should check Cemetery Gates to hear Lead to vocal phrasing

[@twelve9531]

easily their best song in terms of musicality to sounding good ratio, genius song crafting with catchy riffage and vocals. The rev's best drumming was on this song imo, the vocals have all these unique dynamics with the talking and background vocals, both guitarists are keeping this song alive with impressive guitar work and melodies, and the bass playing lead in some parts, so cool. I do like Chapter Four and IWSYTN 1 & 2 a little more because of the sound they had back in Waking the Fallen, but this song takes 4th place for Avenged.

[@thatcanadiannorman8690]

Finally! He's covering one of, if not, my favourite A7X song!!!

[@Marc-xo2rx]

PLEASE the Stage next, the hole album is their best

[@thomasgoude8800]

That riff at 12:11 is so nasty, it’s the best

[@Didan_Official]

Yeah .. Thank bro for this vidio I Love A7X 🤘😎❤

[@jadenaustin4999]

YES WAS HOPING YOU WOULD DO THIS SONG!!!! Love these reactions plz keeping doing A7x!!!!

[@nytvyn1422]

Wow finally, damn, that's so good man❤❤

[@PsyDMT]

Great reaction and channel bro, Blinded In Chains is one of my favorites together with Save Me and The Wicked End. The next reaction should be Strength Of The World or Burn It Down!

[@bexypoos]

Epic song epic breakdown, thanks dude :)

[@jimmitchel]

check out their song Dancing Dead from their Diamonds in the Rough album (B-side). underrated track but everyone love it 😊

[@iamanadraw]

Great video as always! I know this is maybe a long shot, but can you check out the Avenged Sevenfold song titled Not Ready to Die? This song is not in any album, because it is a single specifically made for Easter Egg in game called Call of Duty Black Ops. You will not be disappointed.

[@Dmitriy88S]

album is great af

[@joeswosinski5220]

if you like leads + vocal follwings i think ice nine kills welcome to horrorwood part 1 and 2 have A LOT of vocal/guitar melodies.

[@kamy157]

Tonight the world dies Or Danger line Next please!!!

[@JustinWillhoit]

1:24 TONE IS IN THE FINGERS

[@blownbymusic6083]

'Seize the day' , listen to this song

[@jacram8146]

Sadly we will never get this sound again we all know The Rev was the mastermind of the sounds

[@n8_productions]

iron maiden matches a lot the leads with the vocals. especially within their last two albums

[@krashkourse3449]

Bro you need to hear burn it down, that song has an amazing bridge you would love it

[@MuhammadRifqi17]

Trashed & Scattered next.

[@rezagarpoz1309]

First time i hear this song from nfs most wanted ps2 😂

[@knucklez3025]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 the rev killed this on the drums

[@szakadtcsimpanz]

Big Need for Speed Most Wanted nostalgia feels

[@Tsureiki]

i never noticed M Shadows says se-duke-tive system lmao

[@jevonbotha5669]

Muse does that too

[@jarrod4203]

Brian Haner Jr to me is the greatest of all time..

[@Farabi492]

Need more avenged sevenfold reaction

[@coconutshrimp707]

Always thought the ending guitar riff sounded like it was from Beat It

[@hardbros2021]

NFS Most Wanted!!

[@impek667]

nfs most wanted for life

[@justinsimons4125]

please do "i wont see you tonight" parts 1 and 2

[@619BadDog]

This song boost horsepower on my civic XD

[@mastod0n1]

I feel like the one take story has confused a lot of people. Sounding The Seventh Trumpet was recorded straight through one take first take. Now everyone thinks that the video of him recording Almost Easy is one take first take. It's clearly not the take they used. And tons of drummers do full takes until they get one they like instead of punching in or cutting and pasting.

[@dicodec]

Doing it in one take is still impressive, when I’m recording drummers we have specific points we know where we can punch in without it being noticed

[@toreetotz6661]

Can recognize Zacky/Syn harmonies in one note ...

[@BenjaminMatus-hw6pu]

Razorblade - The Strokes kinda does it

[@pranagaclan]

Higher

[@aguileradaniel620]

Corriendo con el fiat punto en need for speed most wanted ❤❤❤ i loveit

[@Ryuzhen1]

LAST SO FAR AWAY Please

[@msacco]

I never realized there are outro voices.....

[@CallieCatGaming]

I need you to do trashed and scattered lol

[@marvelsontimung3482]

Next react Afterlife Rev and shadow version

[@dhikaaa7x48]

Next 4.00 AM please..

[@egeddiey3686]

Victim next?

[@ruicortesao2057]

Someone tell this man to listen to A Little Peace Of Heaven

[@95_nishanraisulkarim62]

That 12:11❤

[@pvtnewb]

CoE is fuckin wicked (pun intended)
