WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS!! | Avenged Sevenfold - "Nobody" | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@wallywest2360]

I can understand how some fans won't like this, but for me it's amazing. I like the more experimental, prog rock thing they've been doing since The Stage. The message in this song is really deep, I think what you take away from it is very personal. It's a legit piece of art IMO. Both the song itself and the video.

[@Britton_Thompson]

My issue with it is they just seem do damn determined to transition out of rock and metal to a more experimental industrial sound. I follow the TRAX podcast where they discuss songs in depth. They just released the podcast for Nobody, and I heard a lot of talk from all of them about being bored by rock and metal in general these days. I just don't know what the future of Avenged Sevenfold looks like right now, and it's very concerning for me

[@wenurdedurded]

@@Britton_ThompsonI honestly didn’t like the song at first but it grows on you. I do see your point but i think we should wait for the album to comeout to really judge.

[@Britton_Thompson]

This song is actually about a 5-MEO DMT trip (powerful hallucinogenic) Synyster Gates and M Shadows took at some point during the past 4 years. That's why the skeleton is able to access all of time and space to make grand realizations before returning back to his body again at the end. A skeleton with no organs and musculature on it was the simplest way to express the base idea of a figure having "no body" (hence the title, 'Nobody') since you can't animate a shapeless 'soul' floating around the cosmos when it's in a state of astral projection. Well, I suppose you could animate that if you wanted. You just wouldn't be able to do it with stop motion photography.

[@Munkydroid]

I like what to me seemed inferred in the journey for the character in the video. At the beginning it’s the character experiencing his world as he saw it, then a collaboration of people building their way to “heaven” or to view the cosmos. Then he journeys to another plane in which there is never ending war amongst all, a “hell” of sorts. His last plane to visit is then a simulated “heaven” in which all is manufactured and fake. This leads to a disillusioned view of what the character thought would be his resolution. Then a return to the body in which now he sees this is all happening simultaneously and understands that all those things are real and he is one and a part in all those things and always will be even in death. A beautiful allegory in my opinion. Very deep and philosophical as well as fitting to the song.

[@aidanc669]

When I first heard this song I didn’t like it at all. Thought it was trash. I listened to it again. And it’s not trash. It just took my slow brain to process HOW AMAZING THIS SONG IS!!!

[@scottyB316]

Exact same heard it and was like garbage. Grew on me

[@Lifes_Mysteries89]

Nice to see some more A7X on the channel, I hope that you continue and add some more from the LBC even if you already have heard the song its still nice to rock out with ya.

[@trollingbigot4686]

Little piece of heaven LBC pls

[@ThaOne_official111]

Never seen asf be be called S7X 😭

[@Captain_Kirk116]

I agree with what you were saying about it being a different sound from them and I didn't know what to think the first time I listened to it but it's grown on me and I really like it now

[@RickINFJ]

I love this song. Amazing guitar work, and gripping vocal melodies. The darkness is beautiful. 🤘

[@GOVOLS1998]

You hit the nail on the head. Incredible

[@Kinev1l]

Pretty impressive that you hit the nail on the head with the meaning of life notion because that's exactly what the album, Life is But a Dream is all about with the philosopher Albert Camus as inspiration with their writing. The final verse of the song is my favorite. "Return to the boundless Immerse in the free Letting go as you lose your name And all you've known to be"

[@xxskeletonmanxx]

As A7X been my favorite band for most of my life I love the song it reminded me of the stage which is my second favorite album. Matt does do a great job with lyrics so I look forward to seeing the album which is inspired by the writing and philosophy of Albert Camus

[@Jeshky2004]

the album is mainly inspired by kanye west lmao

[@xxskeletonmanxx]

@@Jeshky2004 it’s inspiring by different genres like for brooks he was inspired by electronic music to come up with the beats.

[@munchenonyou3774]

@@Jeshky2004 its inspired in terms of the structure of the songs and the way they are composed, not necessarily by style or content

[@barrywhite5532]

This song is an experience I went crazy when I heard it on the radio for the first time

[@sirdrummond1207]

Have no idea how excited I was to see that you put up a reaction to this song !! Been binging the song since it dropped loving the eerie and aged vibe to it

[@raacore]

Great taste & deep rabbit hole!🤘

[@28dirtj]

M Shadows and Syn both experienced a DMT trip, from what I understand it's basically how they felt when they experienced it. The feeling of leaving your body and end up being in another dimension

[@28dirtj]

There's the explanation of how the song came to be.

[@mcbobly]

I’m really liking this different sounding song, something out of their usual style and it’s sounding really good. Great reaction 🤘🤘

[@stevenscharmer1765]

Great to see you back with regular videos Aileen. But I'm glad you took time to look after yourself.👍 I love the direction A7X has been moving in. I think this song is brilliant on many levels, and the video is both beautiful and mind-blowing.

[@deminybs]

I promise I've only listened to this like 1,000 times 😅😅

[@aaronf2211]

Great song that ties together thoughts of transcendence, our meaning (nothing as they portray), chaos in the plausibility behind that ideology…. Brain in the vat kind of feel but I really enjoyed the melodic rhythm to the song they wanted you to feel like it was constantly rolling over

[@aidilakmalroslan7429]

love your reaction !❤️‍🔥

[@timrenfro8826]

I love the song. I like your reactions to the songs also. Your my favorite. Thank you.

[@ronchastain9490]

This is awesome!

[@AlMightyMac]

I wish you'd do so far away so badly, it's literally my favourite song of all time where I find it so relatable and hits so close to home..

[@Elliott_Robert]

Awesome song, their guitar playing always amazes me and makes me want to go practice! Also, love watching your reactions because its like I'm a teen again hanging out with my friends just listening to music.

[@JakeRoss827]

Been waiting for your reaction 🤘🏻 🎸

[@renejensen7799]

Actually M Shadows got the idea to this song, after visiting a shamen, that made him inhale some stuff, and taking him into a so called Ego death experience, where it feels like you soul leaves your body, and you can obsterve your own human body from above, and at the same time not really feeling human.. The place at the end with the barcodes and stuff is like the promised land, everyone told you about, but it dosent really exist, lets take a example lets say that heaven is a promised land you was told is there, but maybe it isnt.. that way.. And the suicide note at the end, well you can wonder, did this man kill himself actually, or was it a Ego death experience..

[@Themetaphysician1999]

I’ve experienced this myself. I know what he’s talking about. Ego death is the ability to see beyond the 'I' part of you and waking up to who you are to the deepest core(the soul).

[@Avengedincorporated]

I loved this song immediately every new album they come out with just gets better and better for me

[@CertifiedSunset]

Some people didn't like this song, but I did. It's cool to see them experiment from their usual sound, now I will admit that I still prefer their original sound, but this is a very intersting take.

[@grimacereaper6096]

Love your videos Aileen! ❤

[@donaldthieleman]

Love this song

[@anniel9416]

That's an interesting analysis! I was thinking it was about the experience of death and the psychology of that ego loss (all the musical experimentation and droning in the song really amps that up), commenting on the afterlife, etc. The skele walks through the streets seeing all the other people that time has erased, and eventually is taken to heaven by the grim reaper, but the skele realizes it's all fake and throws himself into the abyss, only to return to his body (maybe with a new perspective about life). I took the "adieu" note as a suicide note or something but who knows. It's so deep and interesting I love that people can watch the same thing and come away with different ideas of what it's about.

[@renejensen7799]

So the new album is a concept album, i heard the A7X guys say, that no song on new album represent the sound of the album really, so i think we are in for diffrent vibes in the tracks, where this one is right in the middle, To the critics i will say i dont agree, i think again A7X is not following certain mainstream stuff, they do still experiment, and i epriciate that, and are pretty exited to hear the full album, im more exited for this then rest of Metallica album to be honest..

[@cliff4695]

"it's different" is a very polite way of saying it. I'll leave it at that 😂😂

[@jessewildoner20]

I fucking dig it!

[@Turn1Hippie]

It's like Tim Burton meets Rock n Roll. 😄Very different Avenged sound, and i love it.

[@donovanlee4539]

Your reaction is awesome 🤘🎧

[@edschobs5204]

This song took about 3 listens and now, it’s probably the best song of the year…IMO

[@spencerlawson3070]

On their Trax podcast the band talked about how they want to create something new every album and that's why I love them so much. I can never get tired of them. And thats why I prefer them compared to bands like Metallica because I feel like Metallica just makes the same sounding albums over and over. Might get a lot of heat for that but that's just my opinion.

[@mikeymike1383]

Definitely has a different sound, but I like it.

[@rockytheblackdragon]

Keep it up 👍👍

[@angelosusa4258]

Finally A7X is back releasing bangers out here! Can’t wait to see more of their music journey

[@Bjorn915]

[@davidriddick82]

I have been a fan of this band since the start, and I have mixed feelings about this song. First of all, it’s been almost 7 years, so yes, I am excited for new music After listening to this band for many years, hearing something like this, throws me off. It’s a beautifully composed song and it’s very obscure Again I don’t know how to feel, I’ll wait to hear the album but I do not have high hopes, but I did love the stage but this is out there for me

[@kollinwoolley]

❤️🤘❤️

[@puyasol1]

Great album the lyrics is the secret to understand what happens with avenged sevenfold Mike Portnoy came to the rescued in the album Hail the King in this album Life is but a Dream the lyrics the progression music are out of what you understand or not understand don't going to do nothing or l doing something you try to you to understand????

2:27 if you dont make this face listening to a7x guitar or any metal music really... are you even listening???

[@msyazwannn9451]

So.. this is what kanye west influence by chorus lyrics that em say about i guess.. BTW it sound weird for the first time listening

[@DoogieH92]

It's gotta be lonely being stuck in the past "wahhhh they don't sound like waking the fallen anymore wahhh"

[@DoogieH92]

I'm more than fine with this new sound. If I want the old sound I've got albums to choose from. I want new sound to choose from so I can listen to 3 different A7X albums with 3 different sounds and vibes. Whats wrong with that?

[@squarebodycasewademckenney6190]

A gorgeous girl like her that also like rock music 😍

Please react more to Diana Ankudinova! Yesterday Diana's channel has released the first musical cinematic video clip. The filming of the video clip took place thanks to the financial support of fans from all over the world. Winter without Snow (Official Video)

More a7x

[@yodaphobic96]

I don’t get peoples negative feelings on this album at all. Yeah it’s different but it’s also exactly A7X. I liked every song first listen it wasn’t that strange to me.

[@Rational_Mind]

The best way to understand this album and the songs on it is to listen to it start to finish in order. I know people have different interpretations of what it’s about but my take is AI/android becoming sentient and then realizing the meaningless of life. It’s genius, beautiful and quite nihilistic. It’s reality.

[@cochisetoolshed3608]

love this song
