THIS WAS EPIC!!| FIRST TIME HEARING Avenged Sevenfold - Hail To The King REACTION

[@mitchellmunden682]

"Nightmare", is a must!

[@jasoncomstock1698]

Must watch "So Far Away" first!

[@stonyjj8314]

The Stage should be on the list as well.

[@josuevenegassantana]

Siiii Nightmareeee

[@kevinfryman7143]

You've jumped into a rabbit hole and you're going to thoroughly enjoy their huge library of top notch guitar driven songs.

[@tim12970]

Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife, Beast And The Harlot, Buried Alive, Bat country, So far away and Nightmare are some other good ones. Oddly enough to me Hail to the king is the most "radio friendly" song they made.

[@dccraig03]

I would add Seize The Day, The Stage, Cosmic, Save Me to this list... Been a fan since the Unholy Confessions days.

[@christophercarson7559]

Lost it all!!!

[@chaoticknight6667]

Damn, all these songs mentioned and none of them included almost easy or critical acclaim

[@chaoticknight6667]

Especially with how much they love drums, since almost easy showcased the rev's drumming abilities the most

[@theartisticvampire2598]

I love how everyone is leaving off "A Little Piece of Heaven" if you know you know but the song still sounds good and epic so.... throw that in too XD

[@anthonyblakely399]

Avenged Sevenfold is an American heavy metal band from Huntington Beach, California, formed in 1999. The band's current lineup consists of vocalist M. Shadows, rhythm guitarist Zacky Vengeance, lead guitarist Synyster Gates, bassist Johnny Christ, and drummer Brooks Wackerman. these guys are FIRE!!!

[@detect]

Shut up

[@Ramblinrabbit24]

No fuckin shit…

[@NinjaHylas]

W Wikipedia read

[@ricknovak3382]

The entire "Live in the LBC" album is a MUST, especially "Critical Acclaim", "Beast and the Harlot", "Afterlife", "Second Heartbeat", "Almost Easy", "Scream" and .... Just watch the whole damned concert! You will NOT regret it!

[@dartanian72]

I am 52 years old, I have seen an heard so many generations of rock music. I grew up on classic and hair metal . Then was grunge and nu metal. These guys are some of my favorite bands.

[@DPRyan-vd5pp]

I’m 51….52 on November 29th….same…all kinds of music, I have records, cassettes, cd’s and 2800 songs on my Spotify!!

[@JPindanga]

37 here. Love A7X also!

[@randyoz9754]

"Seize The Day" is a must ! It's a BANGER !!!!!

[@victoriahammond4383]

Second this one, it's my personal favorite!

[@JoseMorales-nb6nn]

Now a huge must hear from Avenged Sevenfold "So Far Away"...

[@Eowyn187]

SO beautiful!!!

[@KnOnHeavensDoor]

When my brother passed in 2019 I damn near listed to that song on repeat just to get that shit out .

[@joy-jr7dg]

That video makes me cry every time but I love it!

[@rosecrisp8493]

Yes !! Save Me... Nightmare and So Far Away are great songs. One of my favorite bands.

[@dawngipe6324]

Yes I've been asking them to do these guys for so long now

[@JJJ-014]

Nightmare will melt your face. Glad to see you guys back. Hope you worked through your situation Jay!

[@nicholasgrasso304]

Afterlife from them is a must! Also So Far Away is a great song and tribute to theor original drummers who passed away. Another one of my favorites is This Means War which you can hear their Metallica influence on them. The list goes on.

[@michaelvielhaber9342]

Yeah, " This Means War" is basically a rewrite of "Sad But True".

[@kevinmcphail3852]

Great band! Buried alive nightmare and bat country are definitely ones to check out

[@dgump-gv1jv]

Any of those would be a good 2nd look.

[@drukarzun]

Those are three of my four favorite A7X songs, along with So Far Away.

[@salvation2979]

M shadows is a ridiculously great vocalist. Synister Gates is amazing

[@aliciazambri4237]

I am so happy to see you back, Jay. I hope this past week has been healing for you. This song tells the story of a tyrannical king who strikes down any who oppose him. It begs the question about how society sees itself. The lead singer, who goes by the name M. Shadows said: "People have elected kings and leaders, people have followed presidents. Sometimes you've got to step back and say, "What are we doing here? Why do we need all of these people to tell us how to run our lives?"

[@brandaljh]

Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Sevendust are also early 2000's rock bands with multiple hits.

[@johncarpenter3751]

Great suggestions. I love Sevendust and Breaking Benjamin

[@BrianMarshall-m6d]

Yes they did breaking Benjamin only once 2 plus years ago but they did a song that is not them they need to go back and revisit breaking benjamin

[@bradsimpson9396]

Avenged Sevenfold is one of the most successful rock/hard rock groups of the 21st century. I saw them live last year and they kicked ass “Critical Acclaim”, “Bat Country”, “Buried Alive” and “Afterlife” are good choices to hit next

[@adriantrusca1245]

Metalcore.

[@MikeSands-l2q]

Critical acclaim needs to be full version, not live in LBC. While the live version is great, so much of the song is lost

[@stephenstark8736]

This band has been all over the metal genre spectrum. Going from Metalcore to straight Metal, Hard Rock, and Prog Metal/Rock. They’re incredible musicians with a wide range of sound in the Metal genre. Would definitely recommend you guys check out a lot more of their stuff!

[@ITsMando7]

“Nightmare”, “shepherd of fire” and “carry on” are a must

[@Katc1230]

Just want to add that I love how much Jay gets amped up and excited whenever you listed to something heavier.

[@anthonyblakely399]

"Natural Born Killer" by Avenged Sevenfold is another good song they do.

[@joshuadeshaies7266]

I hope you guys are doing ok? I am praying for you Rob!! God is with you my friend.

[@JamesBond-ib9tq]

This must be a prerecorded video

[@JPindanga]

what happened

[@joshuadeshaies7266]

@JPindanga Rob was saying how he was really depressed. Having a hard time with things. That's all I know

[@anthonyblakely399]

This band is one of my favorite Heavy Metal band and plays in Sacramento California because they live in the area. And I see them every year they perform here.

[@jamescrowhorse6689]

Great song. Please check out Queensryche "Take hold of the flame" live in Tokyo. This is one of two encore songs after a full concert. Geoff Tate is great in this. You will not be disappointed.

[@bradsimpson9396]

GREAT recommendation!

[@grmpghst]

Eyes of a stranger from Queensryche is an amazing song as well.

[@terrywood4893]

A7X "Buried Alive" and "The Stage" are a must but there are soooo many others that are phenomenal

[@raymondohlsen5054]

[@alfavan31]

You'll love their song Bat Country!!!

[@xcronex]

yes!!!!

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love this band so much!

[@yoshigoboom627]

I had the pleasure of getting to see them for the first time this year. When they got to this song, seeing hundreds of fists surrounding me as the whole crowd was screaming "Hail!" was something I'll never forget. One of my favorite bands of all time. Edit: Some song suggestions! Nightmare, Critical Acclaim, Unholy Confessions, Requiem, Buried Alive, Acid Rain, Gunslinger, Afterlife and So Far Away are all must-hear (in my humble opinion)

[@Jethromcsheepherder]

I’m just glad to see your smiling faces during a new song. It always brings me joy!❤

[@alfavan31]

Avenged Sevenfold is such a great band because every member is top notch with their instruments. They know their stuff!❤

[@Leftylobber]

Incredible that M. Shadows' voice has held this raw since 1999

[@TheLastGarou]

'Strength of the World' 'Nightmare' 'Bat Country' 'The Beast and The Harlot' 'Sidewinder' 'So Far Away' (a tribute to A7X founding drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan) Little bit of Trivia about the name: "Avenged Sevenfold" refers to the Mark of God's vengeance placed upon Cain after he murdered Able.

[@salvation2979]

“This means war” is another banger

[@steveanderson2838]

Hey y'all, you're absolutely right this is a great song, by a great band. Just so you all know, in the chorus they are not cheering saying yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, it's "Hail Hail Hail".. that makes it even better huh! Love to see you all checking out the old tunes that I always thought were great- keep it up and FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT! 👍🏻✌🏻

[@jt1wolf]

Love you guys glad to see you back!

[@stevehamilton8824]

It is truly awesome to see Amber rocking out. It is amazing that when you actually listen to other styles of music that you may not have thought you would be into or even sheltered from that you discover new things. I was fortunate enough to have a diverse group of people in my life early on that got me into so many genre's. Great song! Bang your head while folding that laundry Amber.

[@ablank1020]

Welcome to the world of A7X. There are so many great songs to choose from. You should react to Nightmare next. Amber will love it.

[@brianshertzer1327]

"Acid rain" and "Welcome to the family". Excellent band, lots of songs to pick from. Nightmare as well.

[@pauldenton8593]

You gotta hear So Far Away! It is a ballad tribute to the loss of Rev Sullivan, the bands original drummer. It will leave an impression on you for sure.

[@JPindanga]

"Afterlife", "Nightmare", "Bat Country" and "Unholy Confessions" are a must!

[@90hatter90]

Back in 2018 me and my buddy went to Jacksonville Florida to a Rockfest called Rockville. Had a stellar time. The last band performing was Avenged Sevenfold. We were crowd surfing and I went first then he come after me. There were a few guys getting pissy about surfers and tossed my buddy up in the air as he passed over them. When he come down he landed on his neck and head. He said everything immediately went white. They broke his neck and he winded up having surgery to put in metal pins and whatnot in the front and back of his neck that night. He hasn’t ever been the 100% guy he ever was but it didn’t kill him thankfully. He has nerve issues now. Rain feels like knives to him. He couldn’t grasp anything with his hands for the first year. For the first six months he had to have someone bath him and feed him. I’d say he is 75% of the guy he was as far as that stuff goes. He can walk, drive, hold things and everything else he couldn’t do he can now. EDIT: check out “So Far Away” from then next. It’s a tribute song other drummer/friend they lost, The Rev. his shows them all sitting around in a room just playing and him singing his guts out to their lost friend.

[@the_keen_edge]

I've been waiting for you guy's to watch this video, and I'm glad you loved it. 🤘 Another banger from a different band is Praise by Sevendust. I'm sure you will enjoy it just as much as you enjoyed this.

[@johnsteger1301]

Glad your back, I'm seeing solid suggestions, great band. Thanks for the return.... Peace

[@jasonjones5431]

Nightmare,Shepherd of fire,the stage and buried alive are just some of my favorites from yhis band.Highly recommend!!!You guys are great!

[@joanlajara3939]

M.I.A. One of my favorites!! These guys were no joke!!❤️

[@rogerspiers1858]

I love to watch Amber groove to metal. Makes me smile !!

[@Anxious_introvert90]

YES!!!!!! One of my absolute favorite bands. They were my first concert and it was so awesome.

[@wb2463]

Been a while since I listen to this one, I forgot just how good a song it is, and that guitar solo is *FIRE!!!*

[@hoggtube1]

This is a big band for you to get into,and a huge rabbit hole...... When they started out, they had one of the best drummers ever. His name is the Rev he passed away.Rest in peace

[@adamstotalpainting]

Afterlife live at LBC . Vocals-M Shadows, Guitars- Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance

[@rainking4242]

I saw them open for Metallica in Minneapolis in 2016. It was the first rock concert at the new Vikings stadium. My seat was directly under a speaker and it was almost two days before my hearing was back to normal. I was seriously concerned it was permanently damaged. I remembered to bring ear plugs for my next Metallica show in 2018. 🤘

[@sgtrock]

Amber's reaction to " Iron Fist to claim it alllll " at 8:16 is so awesome! Total Metal Face!!

[@KnOnHeavensDoor]

After my brother died i listened to A7F for days straight . I loved them for 2 decades, Damn it dont seem like its been that long.

[@musicman6243]

💯❤️‍🔥 Sooo glad you're back Jay and Amber!! Agree this was 🔥, probably never would have heard this if not for RSR!!

[@dandymatt]

Gunslinger & Coming Home are my 2 favorites from them. Seen them live several years ago when they were touring to promote Nightmare album. It was also 1 of their first shows after the passing of the REV, who was their original drummer. The crowd lost it when they played Bat Country and started running down the stands to crowd the pit on arena floor, amazing show!

[@friskylizard7969]

So glad yall are finally finding Avenged Sevenfold. Also its great to see you with a big smile on your face, J.

[@rantoppp]

For me Afterlife and Almost Easy are by far their best songs. Growing up in the 80's, what I like about Avenged Sevenfold is they have a shredder on guitar in an age where there aren't many bands that do.

[@Randy-u9k]

Great tune by Avenged Sevenfold........this should get your blood flowing!

[@williampatton8749]

Just for Amber, the drums , must do Bat Country.

[@ninja_tony]

Alright, you got to one of my all time favorite bands now! They have A TON of amazing songs for you to check out, but the best next step after this is probably “Nightmare”, and make sure it’s the official video! They are so talented from top to bottom.

[@andymageen5308]

Old guy here, from the origins of metal, so I had not heard this band before, but they are the real deal, as good in the genre as anybody I have ever heard. Fabulous production that kept that drum beat driving the whole track. Loved it, I was imagining my head banging the whole time 😂✌️

[@shane8915]

Same here! I grew up in the same time period. I was a fan of Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Ozzy. Just to name a few. Once Grunge hit, I never really connected with a band as much as I had during the 80's. As a matter of fact, I still don't like the "modern" metal or hardrock bands of today. I can name just two bands that have really impressed me since then. That's Avenged Sevenfold and Airbourne. If you don't know who Airbourne is, they're like a modern day AC/DC.

[@SteveCoronado2]

What a beautiful message at the end!! I was just going to watch your video and comment but now I’m compelled to subscribe to your channel because of it!! Thank you and my favorite Avenged song is The Gunslinger 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯

[@goostunny]

This is such a great rabbit hole to dive into! I'd highly recommend The Stage, Cosmic or Nightmare next. You can't really miss with their songs!

[@jasonlloyd3984]

Coming Home. Same album, guitar and composition masterpiece, completely underrated.

[@swabob]

AfterLife and Nightmare should be on your list - Save Me is Epic, long but worth it. There are about 20 songs on the workout playlist to be added from AX7- Also check out Gunslinger.

[@danwest9900]

I love A7X! The singer, M. Shadows, has such a powerful and expressive voice. I saw them at Ozzfest 2006 and they slayed their set - best performance at Ozzfest that year.

[@thunderous784]

Afterlife was my intro to A7F followed by Hail to the king, the more i listen to it the more i love it! (watch this with the video from Vikings Ragnar it gives this song so much more!)

[@jeffashley5512]

This band is beyond amazing live or studio. The trials and tribulations they have endured is amazing and sad. Watch the LBC and know that the Rev passed and see the trauma and tribute in the Nightmare album brings full circle Avenged Sevenfold. 🤘

[@XeverLandx]

MORE AVENGED SEVENFOLD PLS!! nightmare, unholy confessions, mia, seize the day, nobody, and i won’t see you tonight are some musts

[@davidpalahinjak8954]

ABSOLUTE BANGER! 🔥

[@kerrihastings521]

I think you would really like 'All that remains ' the waiting one. It would really be up your alley 😊 Glad you are back ❤

[@Raizer_VT1998]

"Shephard of fire " is an absolute MUST LISTEN! it was actually featured in The intro to a Call of Duty Zombies map and is what introduced me to the band. very similar vibes to this.

[@israelcastillolawyer16]

When I first heard this song...my reaction was the same! I had it on repeat for a while!

[@joedrury7700]

Glad to see you back, hope you are feeling better Jay.

[@robertblair5058]

First of all, so glad to see you guys back and reacting to Elvis, Oleta, The Cure, and Avenged Sevenfold! Second, I just want to let Jay know that whatever he's going through or was going through can always be helped by talking it through with people you love and people whose advice you respect. I know it's hard for a man to reach out or show emotion when he's hurtin' on the inside, but to let that hurt eat you alive doesn't help you or your loved ones. I'm praying for you, brother! Third, you guys must have been on the same page with me when you reacted to Hail To The King, especially Amber when she said that the story of the song reminded her of Game of Thrones. When this song came out, I think Game of Thrones was in its sixth or seventh season, maybe even earlier fifth season, but that's what Hail To The King reminds me of is that show. Fourth, I've got a list of songs that you might like to hear. Here goes: White Zombie - Thunderkiss '65, Volbeat - Heaven Nor Hell, Chevelle - Face To The Floor AND Take Out The Gunman, Limp Bizkit - Rollin' AND He Said, She Said, Refused - New Noise, Powerman 5000 - When Worlds Collide, Guns N' Roses - Estranged, Big Wreck - Albatross, Ghost - Cirice AND Dance Macabre, Hole - Celebrity Skin, Jackyl - When Will It Rain, The Lumberjack AND Down On Me, and Joe Satriani - Summer Song. That's for starters.... y'all missin' out on some really fire songs.

[@StraffordMusic]

Sending you love and support. Watching you both react makes me smile and enjoy the music even more

[@DeNigro52]

If this song doesn’t get your adrenaline pumping that I don’t know what song would honestly! Absolutely filthy. God bless guys. 🤘🏻🙏🤘🏻

[@keithkinkade4265]

Glad to see you guys back! Yall picked a great band . These guys are torch bearers for metal fo sho! They have some absolutely AWESOME music! Their latest album Life Is But A Dream is a masterpiece. They aren't your average metal band. They are a cut above.

[@mitchelltrantham5085]

"Nightmare" and "Bat Country" are two must listen songs! 🤘

[@ShadowRyu]

The only band worth being tattooed on my back. 🙂 I love showing it off too. Got the "deathbat" , but when I move my arms the wings move up and down :)

[@kennethmoore427]

They are the best rock band of all time in my opinion. Cosmic is my favorite song from them. Nightmare is their most iconic song

[@julieford8788]

I’m so glad to see you back . Hope all is going well. Great great song! My son( who could be your twin if he was black) got me listening to them. Love this band. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😁😁😁

[@derekivey2659]

These guys are so badass, I got to see them in concert and they blew the roof off

[@dannypollard9895]

There are so many great songs by ASF. Gunslinger, A little Piece of Heaven, Bat County, Nightmare just to name a few. I think yall will definitely like this band.

[@Jamessmith-xk3fh]

Omg I really really love this song and the band I'm excited to hear and see y'all's reaction

[@ca9968]

My favorite track of theirs is "I Wont See You Tonight Part 1", it`s an absolute sonic assault on the senses!

[@garywatkins5863]

Pentatonix, amazing grace, close to 900 million views, just saying, may be your new all time favorite song..

[@NicholasCorvin]

*This is one of my ALL-TIME favourite tracks and the guitar-solo of Synyster Gates is simply EPIC.* 🎸🎵🔊❤‍🔥😈

[@Moonboy9001]

Just started rewatching Game of Thrones so this hits :)

[@carolreaume6518]

Oh man, Ax7 is a great band! You need to listen to 'Bat Country', 'Nightmare', and 'So Far Away'. Feeling blessed to see you guys making content again. Praying for you and hope you are doing better Jay! Much love and peace from Canada!

[@derekpetersen7571]

Now After life can’t miss out on this other masterpiece from Avenge Seven fold don’t miss it love yall

[@smallfrey008]

Seen these dudes a while back in OKC, they absolutely killed that night!

[@jeffjohnson2731]

Glad you guys finally got this end of the metal genre and get to enjoy! Best wishes Rob and Amber and would love for you to review "So Far Away" as a contrast to this one and show off the range of this awesome band!

[@Alex6661-sy1gu]

Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife live in the lbc

[@VictorPerez-nr2pm]

Avenged sevenfold awesome group can't believe it took you guys soo long ya got to react to "bat country" awesome dual guitars and banging drums. RIP to the Rev.

[@nateaurand1601]

Shepherd Of Fire, Bat Country, Nightmare, The Stage, So Far Away and A Little Piece Of Heaven are all good rabbit hole songs

[@thoma9410]

Synyster Gates is one of my favorite guitarists, and if you listen to their earlier stuff, the Rev was a phenomenal drummer. I hope you check out a lot more from this band.

[@jasonswierenga1443]

Avengend sevenfold this means war. You will hear the metalica influence.

[@julcarre383]

Great seeing you guys back. This song is one that I'm not too familiar with, but I did hear some of their songs growing up. Next you guys should do Nightmare, Afterlife, or So Far Away 🙏

[@simeondobrev5835]

My favorite band!! More songs: Nightmare, The Wicked End, Blinded in Chains. If you listen to Afterlife, Beast and the Harlot, Bat country, or Dear God, avoid the music videos, they are radio edits!!
