Avenged Sevenfold - Second heartbeat, the top of that album

[@razikboston3414]

I second this!

[@big-vsongput3127]

@@razikboston3414 I third this!

[@chrismeadows4216]

Fun fact, the demo version from 2002 was produced by Teppei Teranishi from Thrice.

[@chrismeadows4216]

@Exotic Hillz I'm sure most of us can, but Waking the Fallen is like a plateau. The top could really span most tracks on it. There's not actually a track that I've heard anyone view as avoidable. On other albums, yes, but on that one, no.

[@razikboston3414]

@Exotic Hillz for many that is the best song from waking the fallen. Ofcz music is subjective but second heartbeat is arguably the 'fan favourite' song of waking the fallen.

[@chrismeadows4216]

This genre was called Metalcore. Avenged Sevenfold were one of the first bands to get onto Headbanger's Ball in this style with Killswitch Engage. Other bands were heavily influenced by the band's work during this period, including Bring Me the Horizon, Black Veil Brides, and Asking Alexandria. M. Shadows wanted to sing more melodic music and save himself the strain of vocal damage, so the band phased out the screams. City of Evil was a much more guitar-heavy album afterwards. God Hates Us from Nightmare in 2010 is the last song they released in this style to date, M. Shadows' technique greatly enhanced. Screams otherwise are supplementary.

[@dariiofernando]

melodic metalcore, before you got the 90s metalcore

[@chrismeadows4216]

@@dariiofernando Not always melodic. Their first album and a few songs from this album have a lot of dissonance and breakdowns. While the guitar and vocal harmonies are more frequent on some songs, others don't have them. Solos are used sparingly. In Flames is probably a better example of melodic metalcore, or Poison the Well, where those harmonies are used in great regularity...

[@dariiofernando]

@@chrismeadows4216 poison the well is metalcore/post-hc not melodic metalcore, and in flames started as melodic death metal band,

[@chrismeadows4216]

@@dariiofernando Poison the Well is generally credited as starting melodic metalcore with The Opposite of December, and In Flames started moving away from MeloDeath on Reroute to Remain. Melodic Metalcore wasn't in their roots because it didn't exist yet, but they formed the entire sound of the genre. Avenged Sevenfold only somewhat had that sound, on songs like Second Heartbeat and Chapter Four. Tracks like Darkness Surrounding, Lips of Deceit, and Radiant Eclipse? Absolutely not.

[@peaceunion5316]

I'd say avenged were very watered down metalcore

[@Kelly.sapphire]

Waking the Fallen album has a mix of harsh and clean vocals. They have transitioned to more clean vocals. I am not sure, but I think it was in part to help save Matt's voice. U guys definitely need to see them live!

[@isabelalovatelli757]

this song live is another level

[@JimBob_McRob]

Yes, you are correct - These guys always reminded me of 80s thrash plus so much more. 😁🤘

[@SuperDoomspoon]

Anything from the Live at LBC shouldn’t get blocked….Shows their TALENT!!!! See the REV!!!👍🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@95_nishanraisulkarim62]

A7x - Grandfather of all the new metalcore bands

[@mrbungels5471]

Chapter four is from the same album, it's a great song too

[@chrismeadows4216]

The most important, arguably. 🙂🖤

[@joshuawells_a7x475]

Avenged Sevenfold - "Scream"

[@RoamingThePNW]

Yes, A7X was on Madden 2004 soundtrack. In case no one ever told you.

[@kevindavis7620]

This is one of the most entertaining reactions I have ever seen! The look on your faces was epic. This was the first song I heard from Avenged Sevenfold many years ago and it has been on my workout playlist every since.

[@jenz1138]

I saw A7X in 2003 (Warped Tour) & 2005 (Pointfest STL)...I always called this song "the panty dropper"...it's still my favorite song by them. And yes, they transitioned to cleaner vocals because Matt absolutely shredded his vocal cords during their "screamo" years. They were truly the band's best years musically, in my opinion. Great reaction BTW. Was fun to watch you guys genuinely enjoy this.

[@Charsept]

My fav A7X song. The -guitar- drums is just 🤌

[@g.freire8286]

OH YESSS!!! Waking the fallen is their best album in my opinion!

[@BP21_]

Bat Country was in NHL 2006.

[@zacharyallen1878]

Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage! Y'all will love it.

[@syavergiotampi1817]

always appreciate dudes who appreciates good instrumentals

[@mundosombrio9032]

Check out the live version of this song from the DVD "LBC"

[@chrismeadows4216]

And Rock Am Ring 2011 for the awesome vocals and massive circle pit. 😎🖤

[@steve-yl5vf]

Welcome to the family is another great one

[@joannaluna6408]

Hahaaaa I loved the reactions to this! Yes!! You get it! Bad ass song! Probably one of the best I have plenty above it from them. Buried Alive is unbelievable.

[@Remedy462]

My favorite avenged sevenfold album. So many memories listening to this back in college. Probably my first introduction into harder metal than Metallica. A good gateway with good melodies. Not the perfect metal album whatsoever, but the perfect one for me at that time.

[@the.dummydecoy]

"Strength of the World" "Acid Rain" "This Means War" "Hail to the King" "Save Me"

[@alonsomachine3810]

Chapter four - Trashed and scattered

[@BernerMWT]

The licks that Gates throws in during the chorus in the LBC version take the song to another level for me. I live the original but just that alone makes LBC my favorite.

[@simeondobrev5835]

If you're doing Bat country, Beast and the Harlot, or Dear God, check out the lyric videos since the official ones are edited out and are a few minutes shorter. That said, I would still recommend some of their deeper cuts like The Wicked End, Sidewinder, Save Me, Victim, and Coming Home.

[@bonelessspizzza4784]

Avenged sevenfolds song: Shepard of fire. Was in one of the cod bo1/2 zombie maps (don’t really remember) I think it was one of the dlc‘s

[@28dirtj]

They were a lot younger and everyone has evolved and they have a different drummer. Matt aka M Shadows the lead singer went through some problems with his voice I believe and his voice changed a bit but it's a good change.

[@johnnymitzner4707]

Fun fact he got his vocal lessons from the same person that gave lessons to the singer for GNR

[@WSlopeAggie]

@@johnnymitzner4707 you can really hear that in The Stage. But I think the technique more fits Shadows, not Axl

[@HugeESmalls]

you saying this was in madden made me laugh because the first A7X song I heard was in a nascar game--Chapter Four (which I thought was the band name at first)

[@MrJoeandJenn]

Idk we used to call Avenged Sevenfold ScreamO back in the day. Some called it Metalcore, but anything with feelings and Heavy, defiantly screamo lol.

[@haneen8806]

Please do more Avenged Sevenfold they are great and keep up the good work

[@mr.mikechanel6349]

TheRev Scream👏👏

[@ZackaryPlumley]

He’s correct. This song was in madden. As well as atreyu, Afi, and other bands alike. I got my one friend into avenged sevenfold and atreyu and he recognized some songs from madden.

[@Iowawhitetails445]

That squeel sound is called a pinch harmonic. Very cool

[@jakeevergreen9471]

RIP The Rev!

[@user-qr2jk7tj6j]

Do "The Rev Trilogy" please. Start with Fiction -> Save Me -> So Far Away. And check them perform live too especially LBC. 🔥🔥🔥

[@mendyrckz76]

🦋 I Really enjoy these reactions from you guys! Another Avenged Sevenfold Banger! 🎶🎶🤘🎸🤘🎶🎶 ''Seize The Day''Guys 😏

[@holdenmcgroin9982]

You should check out Thedooo playing guitar on Omegle, best guitarist you will ever see!

[@isabelalovatelli757]

oh, and i guess all sevenfold fans have a crush in synyster gates. he rocks and is such a handsome and sexy man

[@courtneymoore3177]

Syn ain't a bad looking guy. He and M. Shadows, both. They are married to twins.

[@DustinL737]

Chapter Four, next track on the album was on Madden

[@95_nishanraisulkarim62]

Second heartbeat,Almost easy,The stage,Hail to the king pleaseeeee

[@brunosantos1730]

Hey guys! Hope you continue to react to A7X my fav band! Pls react to "Buried Alive" (one of their great masterpieces) or "Girl I Know" (badass riff and one of the catchiest chorus with a7x signature)

[@chrismeadows4216]

Gotta do M.I.A. to hear arguably the greatest solo Synyster Gates has ever recorded. Zacky Vengeance wrote and played the main guitar riff on this one. He was the band's lead guitarist on the album before. Justin Sane played bass on that one. This is the band's first record with their main lineup before The Rev died in 2009. It's about cheating.

[@ViewsFromThe502]

m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnzLi2CEfdh7m6M

[@WSlopeAggie]

The M.I.A solo was actually papa Gates, not Syn. That's a cool thing!

[@chrismeadows4216]

@@WSlopeAggie it wasn't. Papa Gates has highlighted which A7X songs he was on over the years, and M.I.A. wasn't one of them. Syn has also stated multiple times that the M.I.A. solo is the hardest he's ever written.

[@toreetotz6661]

A7X live at LBC anything ... They are so tight live.

[@briearenado6044]

Eternal rest and clairvoyant disease - A7x

[@bayuaji1562]

Subscribed. Do more Avenged Sevenfold 💪🏽

[@mendronesg]

Guys If you want to listen to another song from this album you should definitely listen to Second Heartbeat But.. if you want to hear one of the craziest Syn solos, listen to Eternal Rest

[@erickuykendall8755]

Love your content guys… A7X is my favorite band…. Also I was watching another favorite KZbin channel and saw that Nick is a Mythical Beast too lol 😂

[@bhaktiaksaraputra6604]

[@petrkufhaber7271]

I don't know what you've heard from A7X. but you probably still have something to discover x) I will look forward to further reactions.

[@riasullivan]

Bat County next 🔥

[@sanktumtomb5659]

I think he actually blew his throat out and had multiple throat surgeries That's why he doesn't really scream anymore

[@quickdeath87]

That's because a lot of these metalcore singers didn't have the proper vocal training even Davey Havok from AFI blew his vocal cords because he didn't have proper vocal training

[@exceziv3224]

Please react to God hates us - A7x next from the Nightmare album or Shepherd of fire - A7x from the hail to the king album

I know this comment is 2 years late, but I have the same exact Bonnaroo 2012 shirt as the guy in the middle! 😅 Bonnaroo 2012 was amazing

2013!

This album is half screaming half clean vocals for the most part, starting with city of evil the album after this they got rid of the large majority of screaming. City of evil is a masterpiece tho so any song from there makes a good reaction.
