Hello Dicodec, I want you to react to Fermi Paradox from Avenged Sevenfold 💫. It's as you want, but if you don't, you'll miss a masterpiece. Love your reaction ❤

[@samanthapfluger9978]

If you ugly cry during So Far Away, just wait until Victim. You can tell they're really missing Jimmy

[@colonizetheocean]

When this album came out the drums were the first thing i noticed and commented how they were too "crisp" too "clean". Rev just had a rawness that, love it or hate it, was A7X and even though I am still a huge fan of theirs, they just aren't the same.

[@puppetmaster8551]

Love the Rev but A7X was so much more than him, he didn’t even do any songwriting until self titled so city of evil and waking the fallen which a lot of people consider their best 2 albums he just played drums.

[@kai_henrik]

​@@puppetmaster8551 that's not true at all. Shadows and Zacky wrote the first album but after that EVERYONE contributed to writing the music. You are referring to SOLO composition, but you said he didn't write ANYTHING and that's not true, he did but not solo, but his contributions were huge.

[@102ndsmirnov7]

@@puppetmaster8551 He didn't "just play the drums" like the others didn't "just play" their instruments. Being in a band is working together as a unit. They all contributed to the songwriting.

[@puppetmaster8551]

@@kai_henrik I mean he wrote his drum parts, Matt even talked about how Jimmy didn’t write on the first couple albums and they had to push him to write for the after COE. The rev was awesome and is one of my fav musician ever but way too many people give him most the credit for their music and act like he was the primary songwriter their entire history or some shit, I constantly see people talking about how “he was A7X”. I’m sure he had some input when they were creating their music but he mainly just played drums on the first 3 albums and didn’t take a big role as a songwriter until self titled

[@Nameless-iz3ko]

You cant blame Portnoy for that. That's is just a more polished production.

[@NiweNowe]

Final part of "So far away" makes me ugly cry aswell. You are not alone

[@Nigels_Wrld]

its a song everyone just about can relate to in some way

[@avengethefallen14]

Portnoy does play well for the album but he’s missing the jimmy feel. Perfect choice to emulate jimmys style but no one can replace the rev. Truly one of a kind drummer

[@AlexJasso100]

FYI Portnoy played Jimmy’s drum demos to a tee. He refined them here and there bc they were obviously rough but it’s like 95% Jimmy. You should listen to some of the demos here on KZbin and compare them, they’re on point.

[@djjazzek]

I totallyyyyy agree

[@puppetmaster8551]

This song has always been crazy underrated man, wish they’d play it live

[@AlexJasso100]

Unfortunately Matt thinks it’s too generic, that’s why they’ve never played it live. It would be a banger for sure.

[@nseioqeusei]

​@@AlexJasso100 So sad, this song is gold

[@RednekKnot]

M.shadow have some awesome vocals !

[@uraharakisuke101]

The whole Nightmare Album is Masterpiece ❤

[@gagetooley6680]

I knew I wasn't the only one hearing Almost Easy this whole time 😂

[@Nigels_Wrld]

so far away is such a great song and deserves way more recognition

[@ilyasalasa]

The dual guitar harmony is SO GOOOOODDDDD🔥

[@justCarner]

The rev did write most of the drums for this album, or “the meat and potatoes” as m.shadows said. He had most of them recorded on an electronic kit.

[@arcx9928]

Really love your content about a7x. Keep it up❤

[@fiction5860]

he played to what jimmy already had written out

[@HeLicChannel]

I'll recommend you Danger line , thank you for all your react start from vocal,guitar,drum and bass.i know something from here and it's amazing !

[@santi141414]

I need to talk about how underrrated is Jhonny Christ

[@Ginnyb6402]

Brotherrr I've listened to this song for 14 years and I never noticed the bass you point out at 5:25 in your video 😭 I can't wait till you reach 1M with your talent!

[@dicodec]

Damn thank you!

[@courtneymoore3177]

So underrated for sure.

[@cherylmyers4848]

Yeh you had me Tripp’n for a second cause I thought it was leaving here without you… so relieved I hadn’t been singing it wrong in front of others😆

[@ieuanthebeardedbard]

Love this track! It's classic Sevenfold, with elements from all of their preceding albums all throughout it. I also wish Portnoy had done the "double ride thing" in the hook riff too 🤣 but at least Shadows hit us with a good ol' fashioned "mmmmmmyyyeeaaahh!"

[@boyrafael27]

finally! some avenged sevenfold again!🔥

[@dicodec]

I think you are missing videos

[@ladakrosh929]

Спасибо, Алан!❤😊

[@LeeAmber-o9t]

Do it do it do it I cried at the oct 13 concert

[@caramelmacchiato6687]

thats the point bro. portnoy seems like "too perfect" but the rev fills would be so harmonized with the song. idk how to say it but you can feel it

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

This is my favorite A7X song, never get tired of it!!! You like Thrash metal bro? I highly recommend my favorite Thrash discovery called Arcania, I suggest checking out Arcania's song "Dreams Are Dead" (or "Rise And Never Fall" if you want a music video) because it really showcases their incredible musicianship. Arcania is a French Progressive Thrash Metal band, I describe them like "If Gojira made Thrash Metal"!

[@miras-nurtazin]

Yes, please! Do So Far Away!

[@passingaway]

he's doing the entire album. don't worry.

[@miras-nurtazin]

@@passingaway he just asked in the video if he should make a video on So Far Away

[@passingaway]

@@miras-nurtazin it's rhetorical. if you look at the album, the next song that comes after Natural Born Killer is So Far Away. once he goes the So Far Away video, he's gonna ask if he should make a video on God Hates Us, and so on

[@СветланаКаплан-ъ9щ]

Спасибо, дорогой!😊

[@Skyzeeve]

Yapp , i hear some blast beat at the first second . Mike absolutely insane on this album

[@courtneymoore3177]

6:43-8:30 is so good

[@RyanMK666]

See this is something I’m still not overly sure about, but wasn’t this one of the only songs on the album that the Rev recorded his drumming for before his passing? I’ve heard people say that but I actually have no clue if that’s the case or not, if someone in the comments knows, feel free to enlighten me.

[@courtneymoore3177]

I've been waiting to see Johnny love for bass

[@DonaldHussainMusk]

Do tonight the world dies instead

[@courtneymoore3177]

This and victim are masterpieces in my mind

[@MyloSweet]

Your should react to Save Me demos because The Rev playing on drums and vocal too

[@courtneymoore3177]

Victim makes me ugly cry

[@abdullahhamid7037]

Cary on

[@fadlirifky9876]

so far awayyyyy lets gooo

[@Dryandice]

I understand where your coming from, rev had his own feel, but portnoys perfect too a point isn’t anything bad it’s all you’d look for in a drummer really, but yeah jimmys flowy feeling was way more appreciated

[@yassirman1]

After elEstepario KZbin shorts I hear the intro differently😅

[@pipschannel1222]

One of my absolute favourite A7X songs! Super solid indeed! I even like Portnoy's drumming though I get what you meant about him sounding on the nose. The Rev always had more of punk vibe going on and sounded more laid back than Portnoy and of course the Rev's fills were really from another dimension and insanely creative ;-) Portnoy's more of a Swiss precicion time piece which is excellent for a band like Dream Theater but Whackerman is a better match for this band as he's a more eclectic drummer which blends very well with the style of rest of these guys. Love Portnoy's work very much as well but his style just wasn't 100% right for this band ;-)

[@khalidelamri7883]

Love your reactions/breakdowns of these songs. Gives you a whole new perspective. I think you should react to A7X live in LBC. I think it could be there best live performance 🤘🏼

[@pierreov3187]

I always felt the same way with your comments about Portnoy's perfect performance, compared to Jimmy's way of playing. Great reaction and comments as always man !

[@superbee6038]

More A7x please

[@irbah18]

react to tonight the world dies

[@andrehermawan6872]

Please do god hates us

[@abdullahhamid7037]

So far away

[@slowmotionmne]

Wroooong about Portnoy🙂 For me he did the job more than well and he is the last person for whom you can say that he has lack of feel… one of the best drumers ever

[@JUNK_ZONE]

He said the feel wasn't like the Rev, but the parts were. Nothing about him having a lack of feel on drums in general. Read shit, man.

[@sambadehch1802]

yaa... it's just for you.. for us, portnoy's feel is adapted by REV
