This One Hit DEEP! | AVENGED SEVENFOLD - "Seize the Day" (REACTION!!)

[@larkot4916]

Oups... 🤣

[@TheGeekyChef1190]

Both songs are about seizing the day actually. Lol

[@RavenLordOfficials]

Actually I think a little piece of heaven's message was that if two people love each other enough they can forgive each other no matter what they do because they both kill each other and go to hell but forgive each other and get married

[@Dying4pie2180]

@@RavenLordOfficials She said no to marrying him in the song and he killed her. There is no good message in there lmao.

[@zachsutton9866]

It's more of a tragic piece

[@oliviasignore8188]

The girl in the video was the singer's actual girlfriend, now wife, and she wasn't actually pregnant or in a car accident. The reason they had her in the video was because the singer was so dedicated to her that he said he didn't feel comfortable kissing an actress. It makes since because he's known her since they were in elementary school and the guitarist that was on the coffin is actually married to her twin sister, making him and the singer brothers in law.

[@emanueletagliabue6335]

Very touching and cute...

[@xxdarkgeminixx]

I sincerely think that this song is Syn's best guitar solo. It's not flashy or technical, but it is so incredibly emotional and beautifully paced, and that pinch harmonic at the end really caps it off. Goosebumps every time.

[@crsylvia9950]

That "tatted boy" is the stallion duck knife master Jimmy The Rev Sullivan. You must react to more Avenged songs, especially Rev written songs or songs he sings in (Critical Acclaim, Save Me, Almost Easy, Brompton Cocktail, Crossroads, Fiction, etc). Love the reactions btw, keep it up

Hey Alex, I just want to say that 1.

Anyway, everyone please listen to the message, seize the day, because you never know.. 💔

I'm so sorry for your loss my friend. But your right we need to seize the day, and always cherish the people that we care about. Because it seems like in a instant we can lose them.

My dad got me into Avenged Sevenfold when I was much younger. Seize The Day was probably the first song he showed me by them. I lost him when I was only ten, after fighting stomach cancer for only about 3 months. I truly can't say enough how sorry I am for your loss :( I genuinely hope you're okay.

[@ntk9934]

You say that Avenged Sevenfold is "pop metal" they started as a metalcore band in the early 2000s. You should listen to some of their earlier tracks off of "Sounding the Seventh Trumpet" or "Waking the Fallen" I'd personally suggest Second Heartbeat, Unholy Confessions, or Darkness surrounding

[@Nick.McIntyre]

yeah. early stuff is super heavy, their sound is definitely more commercial now

[@joelmacdonald6994]

Not a huge fan of 7th Trumpet. Just not the right kind of heavy for me(and I like heavy), but Waking is great in its own right. I definitely second Unholy Confessions.

[@locochester4909]

"pop" is not a genre. He means: A7X on this day is too popular.

[@jordanious7711]

Pretty sure he's only reacted to shitty A7x songs, no idea why his fanbase is recommending this pop rock shit. They even have good recent metal songs like god hates us which is imo a good fit for a reaction here too. I guess he gets his recommendations from twitter which is a cesspool of angsty 12 year olds who like kpop . Instead he should be listening to angsty mid 20s.

I also remember listening to it the day my grandma passed away, I was with my other grandma at the time and she was treating me like a baby, not letting me talk about my grandma that had passed or anything and I knew if I turned on music she'd shut up and leave me alone.
