This is such a fun song, seriously. It's so dark and goofy but I love it so much. The band's drummer, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, who sadly passed away in 2009, wrote this song and sang co-lead vocals on it. If you want more of his lead contributions, "Critical Acclaim" and "Fiction" are always good ones--the latter contains his final vocal performance before his death. Love your reaction.

My favorite part of Fiction is that M. Shadows mimics Rev, it's a beautiful homage to a beautiful soul.

The lead vocals were sung by the lead singer M. Shadows, their drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan sang the parts at 3:32 as well as 6:40 and also sang the chorus parts with M. Shadows at 12:35. The song was written by Jimmy Sullivan who was very influenced by Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo. This is by far one of my favorite pieces of music ever.

Keynote if you’re reading this Rebecca, The Rev did the gravely(screaming vocal) he did backing vocalsand screaming on most songs all while playing drums, he wrote and sang unholy confessions. He sadly passed away in 2009, whenever they play this piece they dedicate it to the rev.

[@radianteclipse113]

I appreciate how you, unlike most on KZbin, react to the actual beauty of the melody of this song, rather than the shock value of the video and story of the lyrics.

[@mrich998]

The band actually has videos of the recording process of this song. The band all recorded the backing vocals. The glass smashing is actually them just throwing bottles, and two main voices are the singer and then the drummer who has passed away. Jimmy (drummer) was a musical genius. They put 110% into all of their music and they're worth taking a deep dive into. They have their own style and it's just beautiful.

The funniest thing is that a lot of the crazier vocals were done by the drummer, The Rev. He refused to record vocals sober. So it's really interesting to see you break down technique of how he was singing considering he was drunk and goofing around lol Shows the true talent of Jimmy Sullivan.

[@meguelsummers7364]

I love your reaction, much appreciated. I've loved A7X for years now so when I came upon this video I thought it was a reaction to more of the animation and story telling of the song. But your input to the song itself is graciously accepted because it tells me of how awesome A7X is; singing and musical talent.

[@Mike55690]

I genuinely adore your reaction and breakdown to Avenged Sevenfold / your overall outlook on Metal as a whole ! Time after time i've seen and read so many ignorant comments about how Metal has no substance, meaning, depth and it's all "screaming without substance" and it's a breath of fresh air seeing the opposite of that because it's exactly that / what you have said in general ! Bands like A7X, Slipknot, Bring Me The Horizon etc, all stellar showcases of powerhouse vocals and the range of depth, specially Corey Taylor of Slipknot, from say his other band Stone Sour, the contrast in the growls to clean vocals is just droppingly nuanced and diverse ! I'd definitely recommend Gunslinger, Seize the Day, Afterlife(Full Studio Version), Bat Country, Beast and the Harlot, Nightmare, Far Away, Fiction, just some of the songs that display's Matt's vocal range !

One of my duty stations in the Army was Fort Gordon, Georgia. I used to frequently drive around with this album (mainly this song) on full blast, on post, with my windows down, and my subwoofer all the way up, and I would get the weirdest looks. Sometimes people would look over and give me the devil horns/rocker sign, and then hear the lyrics and go "wait what" and their hand would slowly and limply fall away like "what did I just salute this guy for? Oh no". My friends knew, if they got into my car and this album wasn't playing, I was probably not having a good day.

Finally a reaction that focus on their musicality, not their music video

[@kehieaviu]

Its a dark song but it's damn pretty good and melodious. And thanks for the reactions

A7X considered this song as their "Bohemian Rhapsody" and a masterpiece. Their drummer, Jimmy Sullivan wrote and arranged this song. It's the only song that featured Jimmy singing as well. If I am not remember it wrong, the band wanted to put Danny Elfman's vibe and even hired an orchestra band that had worked with Danny Elfman.

The Rev sings on multiple other tracks on the album my dude.

[@RG049]

Are you crazy man? Rev's vocals are there in many songs

[@Thorley666]

He’s sings as far back as the first album let alone multiple vocals on this album and the next

They are incredible live and the singer basically never misses a note! Incredible band!

Absolutely my favorite reaction to this song, and I've seen a bunch!! Awesome job not taking the song so seriously and not just paying attention to the lyrics. Super glad I found this reaction (definitely not my first reaction I've watched of yours) won't be the last of course :p Thank you!!
