Hey ya'll! Just wanted to note that I recorded 3 videos from Avenged Sevenfold to avoid spoilers and they will be posted in the next couple weeks! 🫂

Afterlife Live LBC (R.i.P TheRev BestDrummer)

[@giuseppecordeirovieira7027]

A Little Piece of Heaven live LBC, This song is very beautiful, react to it very well, PLEASE

[@giuseppecordeirovieira7027]

I'm from Brazil and I would really like you to react to it

[@puppetmaster8551]

Hell ya, you love to see it. A7X is awesome

[@farhancahyo6029]

Wow, Your face~ very beautiful... i Like you~..

RIP to The Rev the drummer best ever.

[@alfredoacuna9794]

The Rev was definitely one of the drummers in history.

[@trollingbigot4686]

Absolute legend

[@rafaelmachado9566]

they replanished the drummer, but another vocal like him, it's impossible. RIP The Rev

[@ganiat8386]

Who said best ever ?

[@jamesestrada82]

The Rev kicked ass! R.I.P. Jimmy

[@DeltaKillsTV]

I am a drummer and let me tell you, it is NOT EASY playing metal parts this complicated and singing at the same time. The Rev was super talented.

[@corryburton9252]

I'm a guitarist but lets get one thing straight lol, the revs parts were insane without vocals lmao....with them is damn near impossible

[@Sam-up4ul]

@@corryburton9252 Absolutely, it's almost impossible to get through one of rev's pieces without ending up breathless and panting, I can't imagine singing along with it.

[@Soaring_Raven212]

It's almost easy

[@PhenomArtemis]

@@Soaring_Raven212i was literally gonna comment the same thing 😂 but jokes aside those double rides and the latin rhythm was mind blowing in almost easy which proves that rev is one of the best drummers in metal music

@jokok2333 yep I was 15 years old there with my dad and bestfriend

[@Daffmeister187]

I like a band where everyone participates on the vocals live, like they do. Makes the whole thing more engaging when everyone's more involved.

[@techa980]

except the bassist lol

[@Creed5.56]

@@techa980 the bassist actually does vocals on their more modern albums. He growls live as well. But the new drummer doesn’t sing.

[@jimmygee3219]

[@Dreded100]

@@Creed5.56 Pretty sure if they were to do Critical Acclaim live nowadays Jonny would be doing that beginning scream not M Shadows.

[@Potato-ou2gn]

You're not wrong on the first "scream" being 'unhealthy', the singer, M.Shadows has reportedly had multiple vocal chord surgerys. But man his voice is one of the more unique sounding out there.

[@kylester0055]

He's only had one surgery, and that was before City of Evil. Everything he does is healthy, his problems stem from touring too much. The man sang shows for 10-12 straight years while recording albums in between. The voice can only handle so much before you need a break. He's come back recently after a few years and he's been absolutely killing it.

[@johnseibert3909]

The song Nobody… you can tell the years of touring and recording has taken a toll on his voice.

[@beardalaxy]

@@kylester0055 yeah the original a7x stuff that shadows was doing was really horrible technique, it's hard to listen to

sounded fucking sick tho

[@rarh3643]

“Whatever drummer dude, just be magical” … god that made me sad 😔 he really was a magical guy and it hurts just as much now as it did when I first found out. I cried in the middle of a busy HMV store. He was my biggest musical inspiration and the reason I got into drumming first instead of guitar. RIP foREVer 🤘

[@davidborik3475]

Same. Him and Joey jordison is the reason why I picked up the drum sticks. I got my first kit a few months after the rev passed away. Rest in peace to those metal legends.

[@kounurasaka5590]

These guys sound almost exactly the same live as they do on record. They are all massively talented.

[@EdgarLeon-tq3uj]

I saw them once here in Tampa and they were indeed fantastic! Some bands sound much different live than in studio but A7X sounded great.

[@MattyMutilation]

Still to this day I reckon this is there best ever concert. I wish I could have gone to it :( The sound was on point and everyone sounded so good!! R.I.P to Jimmy "Rev" Sullivan, he was their drummer up until his death in Dec 09. His vocals were so unique and his drumming absolute perfection. I remember the day he passed away vividly 😭😭😭

[@chichotty82]

I was at that concert and it was literally the best!!

[@SS-dm5iy]

I went to a show on this tour 10 days before this concert, in Little Rock AR. I've seen them many times but this was by far the best venue. It was a little amphitheater right on the Arkansas river. They had the pyrotechnics just like this show. Cool March night....just perfect.

[@nickkduhh]

I was there in the pit in front of zacky 🤘🏼

[@itsutoriku]

They also lost their poetry in writing which i think is rev's greatest contribution more than his drumming

[@andrewvasquez7872]

I ALMOST went and I will regret not being there for the rest of my life x___x thankfully I am seeing them on Friday so thatll make me have peace with that haha.

[@LeoLeo-io5jh]

Jimmy The Rev Sullivan one of the most creative musicians I ever heard, and one of the best drummers, R.I.P

[@bhuplaysguitar]

i wouldn't be mad if we were watching 1h26min of A7X! it's their best ever live concert

[@davidrichter9505]

Best Concert ever

[@j.k.sangarun7445]

This is one of the 5 best concerts in the world. Everything is perfect and flawless. There are few rock bands in the world who can perform better live than in studio. a7x is on a very high level.

[@bhuplaysguitar]

@@j.k.sangarun7445 if you’re into harder stuff check out Children of Bodom Stockholm 2006! that show was FREAKING PERFECT!! it’s in my list too!

[@RCW_Trader]

The Rev was one of the most talented musicians. He is credited for a lot of the writing of these songs. He played keys on their tracks, vocals, wrote guitar rifts, and of course his technical drumming. RIP to the GOAT

[@nickkduhh]

Theyre formed in 1999 and this was in 2008, I was at this show left side of the stage in the pit behind the barricade i was 15 years old and it was my first time seeing my favorite band of all time not realizing it was the most iconic moment of their career I live 15 mins from them and ive hungout with them a couole times! My kiddo and the lead guitairst kids played together at an event ❤

[@Disrup7or]

As an avid fan, I am extremely jealous! If I had a time machine, this concert would be first on the list.

[@stormdrownjorginho7320]

Her face is going to melt when she sees the Rev's performance of "a little piece of heaven" live.

[@tonystark-sl2qj]

The entire live show is a must listen, sorry to break it to you but you cant just stop at 3 songs with this one. A7x was my first metal band that i ever got into really and their earlier stuff is a deep rabbit hole i would love for you to explore. They never miss in terms of their musicianship.

[@Mapleman_9009]

I agree. Their first 2 albums get a bad rep from most people (especially STST) but they were very creative with their song writing. They're 2 of my most favorite albums.

[@jayhill2193]

@@Mapleman_9009 none ot the STST songs were played in the LBC and for WTF, we only got Second Heartbeat and Unholy Confessions. It was very much driven by City of Evil and self titled. I agree with your comment however, though aside from Warmness on the Soul and To End the Rapture I really don't like the first album either.

[@SlDEWlNDER]

"What's going ooooooooooooon?!" You're falling in love with A7x! That's what's going on! One of my absolute favorite bands and goat musicians! RIP the Rev!

​@@rayactions R.I.P JIMMY "THE REV" SULLIVAN, Please Reaction all the song in this live🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥☠️☠️☠️

[@wrecklessknight230]

Im so glad to see people giving their flowers to the Rev for he truly was one of a kind. And lets not forget to praise the rest of the cast too because A7X is a Band that truly synchronize with one another which is why they are so freaking good.

[@omegashinra7672]

These guys are one of 4 absolutely life-defining bands for me. And they were the first of those four, I was OBSESSED as a teenager. Got into them in 2005 during their second album, got their logo tattooed in 2008 after their 4th album, and still a fan to this day. R.I.P The Rev, will never forget the day he passed.

[@taku1221]

the vocalist in this band is known to be one of the more healthy vocalists. he blew his voice out in 2018 but that was due to overuse, not harmful technique. the actual screaming is a lot quieter than youd imagine. there are a lot of really fascinating videos on the science behind it which i recommend!

[@uttkarshprasad2168]

It chills my spine when i hear "the rev" voice. RIP foREVer

[@FranklyIJustDrum]

When you freaked out about the Rev singing and playing, I immediately thought, "Man, she has to see Atreyu then..." When Brandon was drumming of course.

[@FranklyIJustDrum]

Immediately thought Underoath as soon as I wrote that.

[@kirona497]

I've never actually watched the Rev perform before, I understand now why he's such a legend

[@gabriel.p.teixeira0498]

R.I.P. James "The Rev" Sullivan. Genius, talented and eccentric composer, drummer and singer.

[@kikib5822]

The drummer is The Rev (James Owen Sullivan) ,he passed away on Dec 2009

[@hcupo]

Ok I love the reaction and the comments. Also the way you got excited with the song. Really good!!! Do more Avenged Sevenfold please!! Cheers from brazil and italy 🇧🇷🇮🇹

[@lokai765]

anyone else watch like basically every avenged sevenfold reaction on youtube or is it just me Btw the drummer was literally one of the best to ever do it. Both vocals and drums, absolute perfection. RIP The Rev

It's not just you

[@calebdean6997]

So happy you recognized and respected the rev for his abilities. I feel like sometimes people didn't appreciate it enough. I wish I could have seen him live before he passed

[@attizz196]

Fun fact: The Rev didn't just learn the song, he´s the one who made it!

My favourite band ever they are really unique and amazing, this live version gives me chills every time.

[@Mike55690]

Randomly found this through my recommendations and you're in for a hell of a damn good journey! This show in particular (at least to me) set a new precedence for what metal shows / live concerts can achieve, it's forever cemented in history for being one of the best damn live shows ever - when Matt, Syn, Johnny, Zacky and of course Jimmy (The Rev) Sullivan can sound like they're in studio but live, i would've given anything to have gone to this show! Rest in peace the legend himself (The Rev), if he were alive today, he'd be easily the best drummer period, up there with Joey Jordison from Slipknot! Looking forward to more of your reactions from the LBC!

[@trashy_21]

Seeing people react to rev singing is my favourite thing to watch

[@xColorYourNight_]

Jimmy wasn't only one of the best drummers of our time, but his vocals were also just phenomenal. R.I.P the legend.

[@jnunya5940]

I havent watched this set in a few years... still brings tears to see the rev in his element... perfection that was lost far too soon

[@DMMoore1313]

Man I miss The Rev. Everything he's on is gold.

[@SS-dm5iy]

The songs he wrote are all the best ones.

[@AMSWingsOfLiberty]

Bruh i love his vocal on pinkly smooth 😢

[@connectionlostmigrating99]

The REV was magical , RIP

[@Heyobrawly]

The Rev was next level with his playing style he knew how to add complex patterns to his playing and then pulls it back to standard patterns he was a master of his craft being the backbone that drives the songs and then to sing on top of that hell he was taken away from us too soon god bless you Jimmy and thank you for inspiring me and millions of others to pick up a pair of sticks and experience the joy of what the drums brings

[@sarahkelly473]

This whole concert is incredible

[@davidrichter9505]

Thats right

[@mrich998]

Stumbled upon this video and now I'm going to have to go pull out my live in LBC dvd 😂. Your comment about Matt's scream in at the start is correct. He's since had 2 vocal surgeries. Jimmy (drummer) was an alien on earth, in my opinion. He blessed the earth with 28 glorious chaotic years before passing away. Seeing them live is never a disappointment!

[@joserobertoperezbenitez1609]

When you do all the reactions I recommend that you watch the complete set. The entire live is excellent. R.I.P "The Rev" we lost an exceptional drummer.

[@mvc2177]

The rev will always remain awesome. Wished the rev included more of his vocals in more songs. Love this track from them. The Rev was very talented

Being such a huge fan of Avenged Sevenfold (especially the drummer who was my idol growing up and my inspiration as drummer) watching your reaction to this and seeing the smiles it produced made me so damn nostalgic. Really reminded me of how I felt the first ever time I heard this track.

[@xox0143]

"Whatever drummer dude, just be magical" Oh boi

[@piggynatorcool668]

13:26 Listen to that !!! Revs hits the highest note live like he's in the studio

I Won't See You Tonight Part 1, by A7X. LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS! Thank you Dear! ❤😂

Thank for you this! ❤️ Really made my day! Such a long time seeing this live video and with your reaction to it 👏👏👏 yeah! It feels amazing! FoREVer!

[@raphalbq]

First time here! Love your reaction, please do more Avenged Sevenfold, they're insane song writers, their melody and lyrics are sooooooo good. You should listen to M.I.A, Save me, Danger Line, The Stage (music video) and So Far Away (music video) This Live in the LBC is 10/10 as well, every single song is played perfectly

[@3ryce614]

I bet jimmy would appreciate the statement of "whatever drummer dude, you're magical"

[@OMKALONG]

High notes vocal from the rev is so amazing , after he pass away they use recorder for the rev part. Beside for tribute to him , i think its hard too copying him, foREVer 🌹

[@Dany.blouin]

Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan was from another world... Whwn i saw him on the screen i cried, and when he sang i sobbed!! So many emotions rn!!! R.I.P. 🙏

Please do more A7x! I think you would love A Little Piece of Heaven

[@Serbofreak]

My God, how we all took this for granted back in the day. Rev was massively talented, and all of them were clockwork.

[@SirFartsALot_]

10:59 Steve T moment.. 😂

[@Diogo.GENEVA]

Underrated comment i swear to god

[@indubitable49]

While the REV is impressive when he sings and plays at the same time, you should try and watch the live performance of Dust to Dust from The Warning. Pau is a beast, that's all I am gonna say.

[@braydonjones6280]

I’ve been very impressed with The Warning when I discovered them sort of recently. Reminiscent of my favourite bands.

[@mambutuomalley2260]

The Rev (the drummer) was pure talent. Insane drummer and amazing singer. Going off on the drums while having your head twisted to the side to sing... damn. May his soul rest easy.

[@andrewvasquez7872]

Yeah M. Shadows really put his voice through the ringer when he was younger haha. It was AMAZING for sure but it did lead to problems within the last few years haha. He has a much more healthy vocal technique these days. And yes The Rev was also AMAZING, a true talent and the heart of the band. When he passed away it was heartbreaking for the band and the fans, they were all best friends since childhood/their teen years.

[@rottenamiigo9443]

Seeing how hyped you were listening to them. I really got to live my first time hearing A7X all over again through this video. You have yourself a new subscriber !

[@N5FX]

You should watch their "A little piece of heaven" music video. It's a masterpiece

[@tazman66gt18]

I concur!

[@coltonthompson3155]

your gonna make me go insane with the pauses

[@Shedd22]

I come back to watch this reaction monthly😬

[@patricksob1644]

Very late comment but this is one of my favorite songs of A7X. I play the drums for like 8 years and played many of their songs but this is really hard and still can't play it properly. I just dont understand how Jimmy plays the drums and sings and it is soooo smooth.

[@Shurororu]

Sor Far Away, Little Piece of Heaven, Afterlife and This Means War are a must for sure

[@sethburt6317]

RIP Rev. Damn you're missed. You were amazing and the best drummer ever.

[@boots_33]

This might actually be my favorite song from the band. There's such HUGE energy in the groove and everything just feels powerful as all heck. It makes me feel like I can punch through solid steel whenever I hear it. I'm really glad you're enjoying a lot of these tracks that I've enjoyed. It's infectious to see new fans bloom in real-time. :) Speaking of unhealthy, Matt Shadows did INDEED eventually have to change how he sings/screams because he was tearing his throat apart after a while. His work on the album The Stage is very different, but if it keeps his voice healthy, that's a good thing. Also, RIP Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, gone too soon from an accidental overdose (painkillers + alcohol). One of the greatest rock drummers I'd ever had the pleasure of hearing in my lifetime, and one of the best songwriters in the genre at the time. If for no other reason, checking out Avenged's older material is worth it just for The Rev's parts, alone. \m/ foREVer \m/

[@nekadpotatis]

The drummer was one of his kind. He was the one who made "Afterlife". Give that song a listen. you won't regret it.

[@Valkry0362]

To answer your question @ 5:42 the drummer was Jimmy "The Rev" Sulivan in my opinion one of the best drummers I've ever heard and seen live he was one man that could do what 10 couldn't in terms of talent
