[@dansourile5444]

Most compositionally interesting songs are probably A Little Piece of Heaven and Exist.

[@RicosTinFoilSombrero]

Yes. Very Tim Burton/Danny Elfman in composure!!!

[@Acre00]

Definitely second A Little Piece of Heaven

[@dansourile5444]

@derp derpinI am not huge on Waking the Fallen but I do agree that City of Evil is very good as a whole. But as individual tracks, I think the two tracks I mentioned have more to break down and analyze.

[@TheKentuckyBibleIncident]

And Save Me! That song is so overlooked but it is so well composed. I think it's one of their best.

[@sthjr112358]

@@RicosTinFoilSombrero the person who did the brass arrangement for oingo boingo did the arrangement for A little Piece of heaven. The song very much wearing it's Nasty Habits inspiration on it's sleeve haha

[@jackthomas8657]

A great avenged sevenfold song to do would be Save me. is, in my opinion, their best song. It might even be my favorite song ever.

[@ram42193]

save me is pretty much the best I agree

[@IvanIvanov-qx5oz]

Finally somebody's saying it

[@srschabel]

Save Me bro!!!!

[@marcocendron5531]

Agree

[@F1r3Arrow5]

100% agreed as someone who has listened to their entire discography countless times.

Some other avenged songs you would like...The Stage, Exist, A little Piece Of Heaven, Save Me, So Far Away, or I Won't See You Again Tonight Pt 1...I know that's a lot but they are all fantastic tracks! Take your pick!

[@joeschmoe303]

I won’t see you tonight, for sure

[@eilman8037]

love all of them

[@TechTeardownYT]

Avenged Sevenfold's best compostiions: Save me, The stage, Exist, Sidewinder, Trashed and Scattered, buried Alive, The Wicked End.

[@ChawedMirthPrattEnterprise]

man, i can tell youd probably be blown away by another one of their songs "the stage". absolute masterpiece

[@DoobieKeebler28]

Odd choice for a first listen to Avenged Sevenfold, but good either way. There are a lot of songs from them that I'm sure will be requested soon enough. I'll go ahead and say "Exist"

[@sirstabbyfork9675]

Exist exist exist

[@vincentforest4074]

@derp derpin The riffage tho

[@daveduncan518]

Yeah I'm a huge A7X fan and don't understand why this was suggested. Doesn't really showcase any of their strengths.

[@DoobieKeebler28]

@@daveduncan518 I am guessing it was a favorite of the person who requested it. Personally, there isn't that much that is interesting in that song to "decompose". Songs like Exist, Save Me, The Wicked End, A Little Piece of Heaven would have been infinitely more fascinating to see him break down.

[@complexdevice]

Dude I am so loving how you don't just pick a bands top song on Spotify and react to it.

🤙🤙HOWZIT!!!! As you know this is my FIRST listen to this band and in most cases I don't do the "most listened to" or liked track because I don't know any better. Please drop song suggestions for this band in a comment for my next listen to them. Awwwwright and HAPPY ALOHA FRIDAY!!!🤙🤙

[@serroche]

Thank you for your videos, love your musical and emotional analysis of the songs. I'm gonna throw it here too and ask you to react to Textures - Awake, they no longer exist as a band and their 'Silhouettes' album from 2008 is really a masterpiece. Cheers from Spain!

[@Penz0id]

A Little Piece of Heaven! They're a retired favourite nowadays, but A7X was my entry point into metal as a youngin'

[@dlxfuentes]

My vote is for MIA or Sidewinder, both off the album City of Evil

[@carlbrenston8436]

Shepard of fire and So far away

[@Acre00]

A Little Piece of Heaven, Unholy Confessions, The Stage, or Sidewinder

[@assordante2205]

9:14 the way he rose up with the **whatever that's called when a singer does that** was how I feel when I listen to a great sing. I love music and I love people that appreciate music.

[@chrismeadows4216]

This song had quite the lineup of icons working on it. It was produced by Mike Elizondo, mixed by Andy Wallace, and engineered by Bob Ludwig. The band members who recorded it were: M. Shadows - vocals Synyster Gates - guitar Zacky Vengeance - guitar Johnny Christ - bass guitar Arin Ilejay - drums Avenged Sevenfold formed in 1999, and Hail to the King was released in 2013. Between those points, their original drummer The Rev passed away in 2009. They received a Grammy nomination for their 2016 single The Stage. If you have any more questions, they'll definitely be answered.

[@estebanleyva777]

So far away, gunslinger, tonighy the world dies, and many many more

[@Mattormus]

@derp derpin nah, the ones they suggested are way better than pretty much all of Waking, besides like 2 songs.

[@alvarobriceno4500]

My man is on a tear with bangers!!

[@putzshred3]

A very underrated and early song in their catalog that has almost a "rhapsody" structure to it is called "Remenissions" off of their Waking The Fallen album. Heavier, but very unique and has very interesting parts.

[@derricktipps9867]

I really like their cover of "i wish you were here" too

[@derricktipps9867]

Synyster gates is probably my favorite guitar player right now.

[@katy61]

Dude, since I discovered A7X, Syn has been my favorite guitar player...not to mention, he's hot as sh*t

[@cloudrise]

Time to broaden your horizens, then 😬

[@katy61]

@@cloudrise haha...I know there are other amazing guitarists out there, Kirk Hammett, Dimebag, Clapton and so forth...but Syn is my personal favorite. He can tear up a guitar...who do you recommend?

[@cloudrise]

@@katy61 Check out Aaron Marshall in the band Intervals. Specifically the songs Black Box and Leave No Stone. Dunno if you're into instrumental but he really is an amazing player.

[@derricktipps9867]

@@cloudrise music is all relative man. Just because you think someone might be more talented, fuck even if someone is more talented, it doesn't mean that anyone else's opinion can't differ from yours on what makes them tick. Most every lick synyster creates is insanely clean, melodic, fits perfectly in the frame of the track...and sticks in my head long after I'm done listening to said track. While i could say the same about many artists, in my small circle, he's my favorite.

[@julianspadafora2522]

Would like to also recommend Sidewinder by Avenged Sevenfold, personal favorite.

[@IvanIvanov-qx5oz]

Now that's a song

[@colton4860]

I second this!

[@joeschmoe303]

Agreed, maybe all time favorite song of theirs. Plus obvi anything off waking the fallen.

[@maclancastermusic4757]

A criminally underrated song in the world of heavy metal

[@angelvicente8448]

I’d recommend “The Wicked End” by them as there is a section in the song where an orchestra plays and it’s beautiful or even “Roman Sky”. Both beautiful songs that I’d LOVE to see you decompose!

[@cboSG400]

Oh my man. You've only scratched the surface with these guys. Give "the stage" a listen. So many great others but this one is one of my faves. Great channel dude, you're great. 👍

[@doeboychaotix]

Geebz, please do Bat Country next. Would love to hear your take on that song!?

[@rodolfosaumafuguet2471]

Agreed! 💥🔥

[@dansourile5444]

Amazing song. Not sure there's that much to decompose though.

Absolutely Bat Country, yes.

[@mike-kellydutkiewicz5991]

I won't see you tonight part 1 for sure!! Such a beautiful and powerful song!

[@katozrippla1497]

That's my all time favourite Avenged Sevenfold song! Matt's vocals in the outro make me cry every time I play that part on the guitar. I'm fine all the way through then the outro hits and I'm hitting those chords like S O B B I N G

[@bobcarr2186]

Buried Alive and The Stage. Great songs!

[@thomasrokidis8847]

The stage is probably one of their best songs for what you are doing. Nice video

[@that_brian_guy]

"A Little Piece of Heaven" is one of best compositions of theirs (looks like it is a popular vote here). "Save Me" is a great piece because of the drummer, he does different time signatures with his hands and feet in that one.

"A little piece of heaven", for sure

[@euieui8920]

This is the only band I will ever get a tattoo for, their song burn it down stopped me doing some silly things when I was younger, but as much as I love them, after the rev passed I had a lot of trouble staying invested... R.I.P Rev... Please listen to any song from waking the fallen or city of evil

[@nick_guitarist]

OMG!! Please more Avenged Sevenfold)

[@IcyDeath91]

One of my favorites and under rated in my opinion. This song shows restraint and how less can be more when tastefully done in song writing. A lot of bands with the technical ability of A7X have trouble just putting out a simple but tasteful song. This is thoroughly enjoyable.

[@jaimerivera7872]

I like to think I’m showing my dad new music I enjoy when I watch these videos. Love your views, breakdowns, and thoughts, I’ll be here for the long run bro. ❤️

[@dannysteele4442]

Also the female backing vocals at the end i would assume is matts wife Valery she has done vocals on a few songs since their early days

[@nickiekover6885]

A lot of people are throwing down some great suggestions I think anything off the stage would be great. Sunny Disposition, Higher, Fermi Paradox or Dose would be interesting to hear your take on! Cheers

[@Joel-io8xk]

Another good one is Angel Vivaldi wave of synergy and triple helix. Amazing musician who takes you on some amazing sonic journeys.

[@MattKrogmeier]

“Beast And The Harlot” is a fun ride from A7X...I think you’d enjoy that one!

[@jacobfagan7594]

[@ammoniawilder4451]

[@gavinmcdaniel2147]

Thank you that was very interesting truly! If you wanted something interesting and great check out "save Me" or "Exist" by them

[@lonestoner8297]

I'd say give a listen to Coming Home from this band. It has a pretty epic sound to it you may like.

[@nicdepp]

Exist and Save Me are a couple that might be interesting to break down

[@flavoredwallpaper]

I'd LOVE to see your take on King Crimson's "Starless." There's just so much going on there!

[@joaoaugustodomingues719]

Yes but the thing is that King Crimson doesn’t allow reproduction of their songs... so this band will not come up in this channel... that sucks cause they’re amazing

[@MsFoiledagain]

[@maxhalpert8301]

You absolutely need to check out Save Me, I believe its their masterpiece in disguise and shows off just how versatile they truly are.

[@Shadows_shade]

Avenged sevenfold (second heartbeat)

[@campbell1469]

I've never clicked something so fast!!! You will love the intricacies of this band!! I suggest a heavier song by them... maybe Heretic???

[@watsupdawg02]

I would recommend something from City of Evil. Everyone in the band is on top of their game and their original drummer, The Rev has incredible drumming throughout the entire record. Burn it Down and Blinded in Chains, Bat Country, and Sidewinder (really great flamenco esque acoustic solo in the back half) are all great choices. Besides this album, Almost Easy and Exist are great listens too!

[@doozythedoctor]

Bat Country is probably their most popular song, and in my opinion is the best representation of them as a band overall. Another song that would be cool to see you do is So Far Away. Written about their original drummer, the Rev, who died in 2010. M Shadows hits some INSANE notes at the end.

[@TheChick24]

Still here! Beast and the Harlot Bat country

[@dannysteele4442]

Avenged Sevenfold is hands down my favorite band. Each one of the band members is incredibly talented even with a handful of radio friendly songs. There are two songs you absolutley have to listen to that are constantly on repeat in my daily life. "Save Me" off of the nightmare album and "Paradigm" off of The Stage. Two absolutley phenomenal pieces of work.

[@300ltr]

13:00 m shadows , lead singer, does the back vocals for the song. During live shows , it’s the 2 guitarists(synyster gates & Zacky vengeance) and bass (Johnny Christ)

[@dawnbellaman1559]

Some songs with lots of composition and layers are afterlife, beast and the harlot, a little piece of heaven and fiction. Although most all of their music has lots of intricacies

[@chiralsymmetry6997]

Actually this song was made during their album hail To The King but it didn't make it to album but yes the album diamond in the rough was released 2007 or 2008 they just remastered it

[@Koivisto147]

Diamonds in the Rough is probably my favorite album from these guys. The song writing was a lot more creative and less mainstream. I'd check out 'Tension' or 'Dancing Dead.' Man, you seem to be doing ALL of my favorite bands. These guys were my favorite band for like 8 years back in middle school and high school. Save me is also a masterpiece, I'm seeing that recommended a lot. That album was right after their original drummer died so the drummer on it is Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater, one of the first drummer's biggest inspirations. Portnoy's playing what the original drummer wrote.
