My analysis of Avenged Sevenfold's "A Little Piece of Heaven" was too disgusting for me to continue halfway through, and so the scrapped version is uploaded to my Patreon community (Voice Crack tier and above), alongside tracks such as:
- A Perfect Circle's "Judith"
- Sleep Token's "Vore"
- Dimmu Borgir "The Serpentine Offering"
- Behemoth and Me and That Man
- Exclusive Interview with Nergal of Behemoth
- Silent Skies
With more to come! I may start doing a regularly scheduled analysis video on top of these "Dark Vault" offerings. We'll see!

Some songs don't need positive spins, some songs need to accepted the way they are.
To be fair, that's a good point 😅
Nothing positive can really be said about murder, necrophilia, and the reanimated corpse of the victim of the aforementioned crimes and violations effecting like-for-like retribution on the original perpetrator.
Interesting and entertaining material, to be sure. But decidedly not positive.
You are correct but this song is great but you need to know the context in the story going in the album
it was not a concept album but the context always matter
Highway to hell is a great song when not played at a Funeral
Someone who doesn't like it would need to put a positive spin on it to be able to find the good that they do like in it.
@@ericmicke4130 Not everybody HAS to find something to like in every song. It's OK for some people to just not like it - that just means it's not FOR them.
Some songs are meant to be ugly or disturbing or unpalatable, because sometimes life is ugly and disturbing and unpalatable.
Different strokes. It would get pretty monotous if everyone liked all the same things.
@@Broccoli_Highkicks I'd argue no song is ever meant to be unappealing. Many songs are about subject matter that is unappealing to some, but nobody is ever writing a song that they don't like or they don't think other people will like. That would make no sense, unless you're doing it for shock value and some cheap headlines or some shit like that. But we know that's not the case with Avenged Sevenfold. And duh you don't HAVE to find something you like in something you overall don't. But when you are what this Chanel is and you're who she is as a musical analyst it's kind of part of the deal to give credit where it's due even if the total package is not your thing. I'm talking about this specific circumstance or similar, not a general thing for any random person because who tf cares and why should anyone care what someone who's only qualification to talk about music is they have ears that work? That was all my point was. So it's odd IMO to react with "well pfft you didn't have to find anything to like if you didn't like all of it." Which I'm not saying was your intended tone, but that's what it read to me as.
"idk, my first reaction is, gross.." lmao I think that's exactly what avenged sevenfold was going for when they wrote this one lol.
it`s what they got from someone who is 100% honest.
It was a messed up halloween song they made as a joke.
It was if I’m not mistaken nearly all the Rev
@@tommyg5071 From memory it was all the rev. Mans went all out on it
@@tommyg5071it was all Jimmy
He walked into the studio played the piano part and the band agreed they needed to record it
The song was specifically written to be a Halloween song and it ended up being one of their more popular songs.
When I was at live show, crowd cheered for this song so loud, they damaged my right ear. Cringe society
Just got back from a7x stl. And they did cheer so loud
The song sucka and gets skipped most of the time...like a few other whacko songs tbey made
Never cared much for this one, though I do see what they were going for.
@@GrinchDec23 Watch your mouth, boy.
Well, it does have a happy ending...
A friend told me that the song to him was "a love song about change" and that kinda changed my perception of the song, i dont see it at face value, i think of it more as a bad couple changing for the better
@@rndb-kt7nznaw I’m pretty sure the song is meant to be taken literal mate
@@rndb-kt7nzhas to be true because once: a good friend told me we are memory, without them we equal nothing
A7x is overrated and lacks range
@@kylewhitmore304 Ehhh, that might be the worst criticism you could throw at them. They've made enough subgenre changes between albums and experimental tracks with varying success to avoid that criticism. Out of any metal core bands that broke out into the mainstream, A7X really is one of very few that hasn't remained stagnant.
The online fanbase is just insufferable.
It's meant to be gross, and absurd and silly. It's a funny song imo. It's not meant to be serious.
It’s a love story
@@dakotadaniels1589 of murder, necrophilia, and cannibalism 😊
@@Thedumbestdog667my favorite kind of love story
"it's meant to be disgusting so that makes it ok"
@@LaughingMan44 Yes. Intention and context matters.
It's a creepy/shocking narrative (intentionally) but honestly it's a great song - and even if you hate it, I encourage you to give other Avenged Sevenfold songs a listen
I second this. I personally fucking hate this song. But I LOVE a lot of there other music
People are taking this song way too seriously. It’s a song-story. It’s not real, it doesn’t encourage anything, it’s art! The song was created to be on a Halloween EP, which later got scrapped, and this one song made it to their main Self-Titled album.
Jesus christ. It’s a song. Not a political speech preaching to the public that this is how one should behave. Ridiculous
exactly. it's silly and macabre
Well, canabalism and necrophilia still aren't for everyone. I mean we are taught from a young age not to play with our food.
Hmm .. touched your nerve huh... lol... Silly ppl... Haa
Turn to Jesus before it's too late ❤
That's fine but not everyone has to appreciate it if it's off-putting for them. I don't like the video either.
Don’t let it discourage you from the band as a whole, this song is an anomaly in their catalog
How come? The song is their Bohemian Rhapsody, it's really a masterpiece. It's absolutely brilliantly composed and has SO MANY layers!
@@devcor I agree, but the subject matter is not for everyone. That’s why I hate when a7x fans recommend this song so quickly because it can turn people off from the band
@@SamG-lk1oo you’ve got a good point. While I’m not a fan of the song, I’d rather let someone discover it on their own, after recommending something like Bat Country or Nightmare to them.
@@devcor It’s their masterpiece that they consider. I don’t think many fans actually think it’s their best song.
I think the thing that turns most people off of the band is the fact that they’re not very good
It’s actually extremely upsetting to me that people continue to push this song to reactors. I get the shock value of the song, but many high profile reactors simply don’t do A7X anymore because this song was either their first or second listen to the band. There is a rabbit hole of A7X songs that is so worthwhile, and they never get put in front of people because people are obsessed with shocking people and push this song. As musically brilliant as it is, it’s incredibly off-putting and I don’t blame people for not liking it.
I said people entirely to much in this post
I'm not giving up on them after this!
The song is incredible. The theme of the song is really odd for sure but it still ranks up right at the top of the list of their songs simply for the fact that it is so odd! It is a complete outlier and fun, but also so disturbing at the end time. It just doesn't sync up!
It's so happy and about the most insanely disturbing idea. That's exactly why is so good! It's like an oxymoron
@@TheCharismaticVoice That's good to hear. As soon as I saw I QUIT and "A Little Piece of Heaven" next to each other my heart dropped a bit. I think a lot of people have been there with this song to be honest haha. I remember having to look up the lyrics after listening to it because I just thought there was no way I heard it right...
I wouldnt suggest this for shock value and I dont think anyone else is either. Its an extremely well written and performed song.
Danny Elfman: "I like to write cool, spooky, Halloween-type songs that are a little edgy."
Avenged Sevenfold: "Hold our bone saw."
How dare you put Danny Elfman in comparison with the Asswiped Scavenger Crapper Mold?
Because I have a sense of humor?
@@Redundant_underscore Elfman's best stuff isn't even the hallowen sounding stuff, but definitely heard how much this song sounds at least instrumentally like Oingo Boingo.
@@Jarethttorney Well The Rev specifically wrote it in the style of Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo, and the horn and string sections were played by members of Oingo Boingo, I'm sort of not surprised that it has that sound lol.
"I really always knew that my little crime, would be cold that's why I bought a heater for your thighs"
Yeah... it's a song about psychotically abusive romance, murder, necrophilia, cannibalism, demonic influence, and suicide. There is no happy spin to put on that. They just wrote it for shock value and fun. They're punk rockers.
The fact that it also turned out to be musically ingenius and performed expertly are just perks.
Lol, I warned you all to not skip straight to "Little Piece of Heaven". Now we'll never see another Avenged Sevenfold reaction 😢
I hope she won't be so narrow minded to dismiss an entire band because of one song.
@@TheBalintKosa At the very least we're gonna have to wait another few months to get another Avenged Aevenfold song. I'm just irritated that edgelords always push this stupid song on people and totally ruin their view of an otherwise awesome band.
People are seriously dumbasses for recommending this right away lol, I truly do not understand why this song of all songs is the one people
Always recommend to ppl unfamiliar with the band, it’s literally the song they have that’s most likely to turn people completely off of the band and dismiss them, also technically and especially vocally it’s nowhere even remotely close to their most impressive. Massive shame this is what was recommended because now we ain’t getting any A7X anytime so and who know maybe never again.
@@puppetmaster8551 Exactly, I'm totally fed up with it.
@@TheBalintKosa She said herself in another comment she isn't done with A7X. Just this song.
I'd suggest you to listen to "Fiction". You've done "So far away" witch was a tribute to their drummer. Fiction was the REV's last written song before he passed away. With that in mind, the lyrics make so much sense.
Idk man fiction is a pretty bad representation of what they're capable of. Revs vocals are laughably bad.
She did
All of the ballad-like songs from Nightmare are great. Fiction, Victim, Tonight The World Dies, So Far Away..
@@MintReactions How are they 'laughably bad'?
@@RedForShort they probably just don’t like that they’re not super polished. It’s pretty clear in one or two sections that it’s a demo recording that wasn’t intended to be a final rendition.
the behind the scenes of this song is always so funny. They were having a lot of fun, it was not to be taken serious, just a halloweenish song
there's no way you quit halfway. the vocals and orchestration on this song is beautiful
Yeah I'm a little shocked about that. The song is absolutely beautiful, and the use of orchestra throughout is amazing.
Bit letdown.
Tbf, I can see the video being really off-putting
The song is good, but the lyrics and the visuals are what's off-putting about it. I can see certain people not feeling comfortable listening to it, I certainly was kind of disgusted the first few times i listened to it.
It's a bad song and everybody who thinks otherwise is just an edgy kid. There's no way anyone can say anything positive about this song.
@@gennaroneefjes6248 it's literally a musical masterpiece
If you ever get back around to them, I SO highly suggest Afterlife. It's the song that really got me into them, and it's amazing in every way. In my mind, it's the perfect song to use introduce someone to them and showcases all of their talents so well.
yes.
Yes. Such an amazing fucking song!.
I love generic metal song! It's so much better than creative one that requires effort.
Afterlife is what got me into them as well.
as someone who got into a7x, I confirm this.
I was sad that so many people suggested this for your second song by them. I had a feeling you wouldn't really care for it lol. Their catalogue is very wide and varied though, so don't let this deter you from more of their music. Another one of their long songs you will likely really enjoy is "save me".
I’m right there with you, what a shame man. By far their most likely song to completely turn someone off the band and for a vocal coach it’s very pedestrian by Shadows standards. Save me is 100x the song, I think she should do afterlife live in the lbc whenever she does give them another try, great performance of a far more digestible song with more impressive vocals and it still even has some Jimmy vocals, has great backup vocals all throughout too, not nearly my fav A7X song but perfect for a vocal coach with almost no familiarity with any of their music . So dumb that people always recommend ALPOH to these reactors like it’s some perfect masterpiece, its one of their most overrated songs and that’s mainly because Jimmy wrote it and he passed and was very beloved
Yep...I wanted for Elisabeth to do this song in live version, where its all about the drive and band musicality (live version is one of the best live performances by A7).. But I was immediately attacked by A7 fans who wanted Elisabeth to do the studio version, just only so they could watch her reaction to the clip..such a shame, I did hope she would avoid the studio one and do the live one, which is much, much better.
Doesn't help that the song was specifically written as a Halloween song so it is intended to be as fucked up as possible.
Set me free is one of my favorites and it's pretty good for newer listeners I would say
@@MartinSeda bunch of idiots, I still wouldn’t recommend the live version for someone who’s unfamiliar with their stuff but if you were to recommend a version I’m recommend the live version 10/10, it’s flat out more impressive because it’s actually a live version and there is no need for somebody like Elizabeth to be watching the music video, plenty of people have no interest in watching that super shock value stuff. It’s a bummer that they convinced her to do video, I think she would’ve at least got through the whole performance if she was doing the live one. Still tho for people not really familiar with their work I definitely think it’s better to have them do stuff like afterlife or beast and the harlot etc before you ever get to anything like ALPOH
This song is such a masterpiece. It's gruesome and fucked up on the surface, but it tells the story of two people in love who end up hearting each other and "tearing each other's hearts out," but they keep coming back together. The first two parts of the songs tells the story of one hurting the other. In the song, they only abuse each other once each, but we can assume that this is a cycle between their relationship. During the part where he's pleading with her and she's telling him off, we can assume that maybe they had one big fight where the guy did something that crossed the line. He's pleading for forgiveness and they make up. In that reconciliation, they realized that they love only each other, want to marry one another, and commit to working through their issues. "If it's not enough, try again, and again..." encapsulates this sentiment. Through all the shit, they still love each other so much that they committed to working through the toxicity that they each bring to their relationship, regardless as to what the people around them think. Regardless of it's meaning, it's still a masterpiece;
I agree
Not a masterpiece in the least but it’s decent.
uh you missed the part where he killed his wife and kept her body for sex. hence, "A Piece of Heaven".
Omg wow that's so deep
maybe read the lyrics again....
It's theatrical, fun, and quirky. It's not supposed to be positive or have a profound impact. It just is what it is.
Even if Elizabeth criticizes a video, she still remains respectful! I like it, good attitude!
Not repeated everywhere. Won't name names just now, but one channel comes to mind...
@@luisnunes3863 name some names bro. Don't hide people's nonsense
Meanwhile, I will stoop down and state that A7X is basically the anthem-band to domestic violence, meth, and mountain dew.
If you ever feel like revisiting the song I'd highly recommend watching the Live at the LBC version. While the album mix is fantastic, the music video is very distracting for many people and seeing them actually performing the song might put the focus back where it should be - on the performance.
That's fair. The music video truly was disturbing and made me sick. If I decided to do a live version, I'd probably watch it beforehand and make it just an analysis, not a reaction/analysis.
@@TheCharismaticVoice The video is very gross, but please don't think that this is what the band is like. This song is truly an anomaly, and they have so much other stuff that's genuinely incredible.
@@TheCharismaticVoice As someone who has only ever casually listened to Avenged Sevenfold, I'd never heard of this song. I went and watched the video and the song itself seems so . . . middle of the road and boring.
It seems like one of those songs that relies on shock factor. I don't even really like Avenged Sevenfold, but I've definitely heard other stuff from them that is miles more interesting than this.
@@oneoveronethirtyseven9161 it was written by their deceased very beloved drummer and is a unique song tang also features vocals from the drummer so people Prop it up like crazy since the Rev died, it’s not even remotely close to their best stuff. If you want to hear some actual fuckin awesome avenged sevenfold go listen to their song “save me”.
@@TheCharismaticVoice the live version not only skips the focus on the subject matter almost completely (except for some lyrics) but it has in my opinion a way better vocal performance than the studio version. The song itself is pretty cool sooo I hope would indeed consider giving it (and other A7X songs) a chance.
not every song has to have a positive spin honestly
I don't get why there has to be a positive spin on a certain artist or a song. I mean, if you're going to do a REACTION, you should react the way you do, whether you like the song or not. I really don't get this take.
You won’t be disappointed with “Diggy Diggy Hole” by Wind Rose!
I did that, but it's over on Napalm's channel!
My mum in her 70s and hates metal loves the drums in that… and now just annoys my dad by singing “I’m digging a hole, a doggy doggy hole” when ever she’s bored.
It bothers me that so few people know it's a cover.... :/
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 Totally agree!
Any plans for Afterlife live at the LBC? That show has got to be one of the best in history in all genres of music. I hope it's been requested enough.
yes pleeaase
Also, a Patreon paywall?? Are 1.32 mil subs, ad revenue etc. Not enough??
What's funny is the second half is the much less disgusting half 😅
So you didn't make it to the last chorus with The Rev's incredible pitched screams?
Best part of the song hands down.
@@olivergarcia3635 my favorite vocal performance by The Rev outside of a few moments in Pinkly Smooth songs
Well if A7 fans didn't push this song solely for the clip (live version is amazing with no clip, but A7 fans shot this down cause they wanted to see reaction to the clip), we could have great reaction to an amazing song here.
@MartinSeda yeah I feel like the video is not really necessary for the experience and is actually distracting and takes too much attention away from the music.
That's the travesty here!!! I could sack off the beginning ½ for the 2nd half every single time
I always thought the overall plot of the song was just a more graphic version of corpse Bride. They are even getting there Danny elfman on
Agreed. Always had that vibe to me
People will always be mad when you aren’t a fan of something they really enjoy.
My issue is simply that people are put off by a little dirtiness. This song is an orchestral masterpiece but “omg someone died” “omg nechrophilia is hinted at” “I can’t believe he ate her heart how gross”. Those are tiny things in a goofy song but people can’t seem to look past it and I just don’t understand why. Obviously these things are not the best things ever and shouldn’t be condoned irl but it’s just a song focus on how good the song actually is
I dont want people like that to "look past it". This song and metal in general was never supposed to be for normies. And when some bands change their style to try and pander to normies it really pisses me of. As far as im concerned, If people listen to this song and then never listen to A7X again, Its a win.
@@metallboy25 You must be absolutely miserable to be around at parties.

All I’ll say is this: STAY AWAY from Cattle Decapitation’s video for “Forced Gender Reassignment”! 😅
Definitely agree there! But other than that song, they would be a brilliant choice for an analysis
Me and my buddy watched that for the first time a few days ago and I can't say I've seen something that comes close to that
Why bring it up then?
I'd love it if she reviews Cattle Decap. Especially Bring Back The Plague.
@@xDetroitMetalx Agreed, or their new song
Bit of a ridiculous take in my opinion? How are you supposed to appreciate dark music or satire themes if they can't be "spun positive" lmao.
Clearly a post and overreaction for clicks...or a very sheltered person (well done, you got my comment and some fans heated!)
Take it easy there, Lord of Edge. Elizabeth has a goal for this channel and how it should be used. If some music doesn't fit that goal and thus she doesn't post a video on it, that's her choice.
I know your comment was purposely ridiculous and needlessly emotional, but I just want assert my opinion as well.
Who are you talking to?
If it wasnt for me and other 20 people giving you attention for charity and making fun of you...
it makes no sense to compare the content of the video of this song to real life.. there is no encouragement to do what is shown. This is pure art and should be taken as such.
so if i draw a picture of kids with their entrails on the ground and call it "just art" would you appreciate it or call it what it actually is, which is fucking disgusting?
Understandable, although I personally love the song and would've loved a full reaction to it (really considering that Patreon now though, still interested to know what you thought of what you managed to watch!), here's probably a few better options of songs from Avenged Sevenfold to react to!
The Stage (this one is a bit political, but nothing explicit or really controversial) Amazingly written song though!
Buried Alive
M.I.A.
Hopefully this hasn't completely discouraged you from exploring Avenged Sevenfold, Have a great weekend!
Buried Alive is my favorite. The constant changes make it engaging and interesting.
Bearing in mind she's reacted to Korn songs which have darker actual messages than this song it's incredibly disappointing for her to get stuck on such surface level nonsense
Just an opinion from someone who actually understands the symbolism, metaphors etc of the A7 type of music, and therefore the darkness and negativity of a son/band, I'd tell her to look somewhere else entirely for "positive." A7 is all against the light that exists. Some of the darkest content there is in music. Put A7 down girl!
This song is FULL of killer vocals.
The vocals in this song aren’t even remotely close to being their most impressive, especially shadows which are pretty pedestrian by his standards, the Rev has some cool
Vocals on here but nothing mindblowing. Now she ain’t gonna be reacting to A7X for forever or who knows maybe not again, what a waste and the people who recommend this always to people unfamiliar are idiots because this is by far their most likely song to totally turn someone off of the band
Agree, in live version.
She rejected him in life because life is temporary. She accepted in death because its eternal and they will be together forever
That's unfortunate we are not going to see this reaction in the main channel...
The music video was just so disturbing.
@@TheCharismaticVoice but it turns into a live story!
@@TheCharismaticVoice maybe do Unholy confessions instead, great song by them.
@@TheCharismaticVoice I say put it out there for all to see
@@TheCharismaticVoice At least I am happy that you listened to it!
It's a shame we can't see your reaction, this is my favorite song of all time. It is very dark in the beginning but its a beautiful song.
You can if you pay $10 for her Patreon. I also love this song and find this really disappointing.
@@kayl7260 yeah I'm just not paying money to watch someone listen to songs lol
I think it’s disingenuous to say you can’t put a positive spin on it. Beautiful instrumentals and vocals. You don’t have to like the lyrics, there is so much other good about this song. It’s a masterpiece
No it's lame af
@@theodahviingnot lame at all, anyone can find something to like in this song as it's composed on many artistic aspects.
It's a bad song.
@@gennaroneefjes6248no it's not.
Sometimes it's more than just not liking the lyrics. For me, s*xual content is ptsd triggering and I can't listen to, for example, Steel Panther, despite the songs sounding good.
And even without that if I really don't like the lyrics, i just cant like a song.
I do really love this song though despite the s&xual content.
Some songs are meant to be dark and twisted. And that's fine.
Honestly this is my main problem with youtube reactors in general.... They avoid honesty. Not every reaction has to be positive. It's just as interesting why you don't like something. But 99% of youtube reactions are positive which isn't reality.
Thank you. I’m sick of the bs. 😂 some people need to grow up.
Not sure what else people were expecting when they suggested this song to begin with lol.
Bat Country, Afterlife, or Hail to the King are a lot more accessible songs of theirs that show off their talents really well without needing to prepare your resolve first.
I'm more into death metal, A7X is pretty tame pretty much across the bored but this some is pretty intentionality made to be shocking. Pretty good song overall, just not for sweethearts like Elizabeth
People don't want her to listen to accessible. It's a reaction channel. They wanted a reaction, and it got paywalled. Seems like a good business strategy to me.
People usually recommend it for the shock value. Yes vocals are good, instruments are great, animation is great but we all know what's in the lyrics... Not everyone is a fan of it and it's stupid to recommend it as the 1st or 2nd A7X to listen to.
A Little Piece of Heaven is so theatrical, it's phenomenal.
It’s a whole ass great story! One of their most fun songs! I love how simple yet elegant the guitars are during the verse. The bends & all that. Then when the REV had so much fun recording his vocals for this. This one is golden! One of my favorites. Puts me in such a great mood!!!
If it makes you feel better, she comes back from the dead and does to him what was done to her, then they get married and live (so to speak, they are essentially zombies) happily ever after.
Avenged Sevenfold's newer stuff is notably different from what got them famous. I remember like yesterday how cool it was to hear Sidewinder for the first time, evil and mesmerizing as it sounded...I share Elizabeth's sentiment that this song feels like a corny attempt at a tribute to Tim Burton.
Newer stuff? LPOF was released 2 years from Sidewinder, and it was like 15 years ago, lol.
@@devcor totally! This song is not what I would link to their older stuff. I'm so happy they just released a new track! I really hope a new album is on the horizon!
I feel like people in this comment section are missing the point of what she’s saying. It’s not simply that it’s dark and she doesn’t like it. The point she seems to be making is that if she is going to post a reaction she wants to put aome positive spin on her content. Praise something, give constructive criticism, find something she personally appreciates about the song she’s reacting to. If all the reaction video would be is her not liking it and having nothing good to really say then the video would be nothing but negativity and therefore she doesn’t feel it’s worth posting. She didn’t care for it, it wasn’t her thing, and rather than posting a video where all she does is talk about how much she doesn’t like it she feels it’s better to focus on things she has something positive to contribute. It’s not a simple case or I don’t like songs that are dark and not all sunshine and rainbows it’s that she herself didn’t have anything positive to contribute to the discussion and didn’t want to post a video of her just complaining about a song that wasn’t her cup of tea.
This song is so goofy that I have a hard time believing anyone would seriously be disgusted by it 😂
It's an interesting song. But the video gets worse, especially after you said, that took a turn.
You gotta review Avenged Sevenfold newest single “Nobody”. The depth behind the song is incredible and not to mention the music video is really cool too!
I would recommend some a7x classics like Afterlife or Nightmare, before going to "Nobody"
Waking the fallen is their best work
@@vinniepaul182agreed
Even gunslinger would work.
When someone who's very sheltered gets exposed to something mildly dark for the first time lol.
Frr😂😂
Exactly
When the edgelords find not everyone will like a "dark" song just for being "dark"
@@diegosotomiranda4107 Nope, he’s not an edgelord. It’s just that people find songs interesting when they have interesting topics, or even dark topics. It’s human nature to be curious.
@@diegosotomiranda4107if someone sees a good song with dark aspects and thinks THIS IS DARK AND I DON'T LIKE IT, it's their problem, nothing edgy said here.
This song was a "for fun" one of theirs. If I recall they did a mash up of inspirations, I recall Oingo Boingo being one of them... But yes, song was definitely not their typical release LOL
As many have said in here Afterlife live in the lbc is the song for you, far more impressive vocals with more impressive instrumental work and far better non shocking lyrics. The performance is pretty much flawless too just like that whole live in the lbc show.
I love your positive take on your reaction. It's more fun to learn about singing technics and how you do it the right and helthy way. Your positive and funny reaction give me fuel to keep going and listen to more music. Lots of hugs to you Mycroft and Kirk.
This is basically a sick dark humorous love song and is actually really well put together. I recommend trying again but watching the live version instead. You can really appreciate the music more in the live version than being distracted by the video
I feel A7X is never meant to be happy or positive
We need MORE Avenged Sevenfold 🙏
My wife loves this song.
When I first saw that music video, I laughed harder than I have in a long time. A superb piece of musical comedy. 😂
Please do “Shepherd of Fire” or “Buried Alive” ! 🎶🎙️
Sorry for the recommendation then lol. I genuinely love the song, its like a short horror movie musical. But i get why people dont like it.
To me its just dark comedy, not even horror. The disturbing scenes are offset by the heater labeled "Super Thigh Heater", the purposely humorous juxtapositions between sympathy and guilt to sharp apathy. The way he says "misbehaved". The phrase "eyes over easy".Too over the top and too many gags to not laugh, Its like Fargo(1996). Horrific violence or potentially uncomfortable situations, just dispelled with visual gags. Suddenly uncomfortability is used humor instead of horror. If you pay enough attention its not surreal, its absurd.
Wow first time I've ever disagreed with her. This song is dark humour. Its fun, the revs creation and it was brilliant!
it's just a bad song.

@@chuck7024 It's an opinion not one I agree with but that doesn't mean their factually wrong.
Not everyone is into “Sweeney Todd” either.
You don't even listen to the whole piece , wtf? Who are who and you have so much class you can't listen to sevenfold cmon
Can't you just respect the fact that some people don't like certain types of content?
Like, I have ptsd to s*xual content. It doesn't matter how good something is, I can't enjoy it if it has that kind of content.
And, yes, I do like this song. A little triggering, but not bad enough to put me off of it.
Little Piece of Heaven is such a good song.
Imagine do that just because a animation video that is not on the purpose to be taken seriously, and ruining the whole experience with the music and the vocals, just because of that

I discovered you yesterday, for 5 hrs freaking straight!!
Don't let that song turn you away from Avenged Sevenfold. They made it as a joke and never expected it to actually make the album, much less be popular. I was a bit concerned when some people were suggesting it in the comments of So Far Away reaction. Bat Country, Beast and The Harlom, and Almost Easy are great choices from them, with good range of vocals, and not as traumatizing. lol
Youve not seen the making of the album video have you?
You're misrepresenting quite a bit. The Rev wrote this damn song nearly by himself. That's why a lot of people are connecting it to a song about him with it. They very much did expect it to make the album once they figured out what the hell the Rev was trying to do musically and they thought it was hilarious. It is for exactly the same reasons they thought it was.
I respect Elizabeth's take, but I'm not going to misrepresent the band's view of the song. It's song about necrophilia, murder, and eventually mass murder. You can get grossed out by it and its presentation. Or you vibe the black comedy lyrics like you vibe the humor in the movie Fargo. Even the wood chipper scene in Fargo is funny. Even Marge lecturing the guy is a bit funny because she just saw the guy put another person through a wood chipper and still wants to appeal to what's left of his humanity. This is in spite of her being serious and everything she said was morally right and in the case of the wood chipper scene, it is in spite of the fact it is graphic and depraved. You can look at those scenes and the movie a completely different way and get a completely different view on what the film is. And that's kind of the message. Marge sees a grey mundane day as still beautiful because that's how her philosophy works. She wants to see the good in people to a fault. You can see this song as gross and depraved or you can find it hilarious the same way the band did. Neither is really wrong. You either click with the black comedy and just laugh or you don't and are uncomfortable. But both were meant as a black comedies by the artists in question.
As for why you are misrepresenting the band. At first nobody knew what the hell Rev was doing. Then Matt came on board after he started to get it melodically and the other bandmates are still scratching their heads. It wasn't because of the lyrics. They didn't get it musically. Then it all starting coming together and everybody got on board with it and were starting to see things they liked about it. Zacky Vengeance said he was proud of it, Matt is like "this is my favorite song ever , ...that i've been a part of " by the end of the making of the album. They knew people would get it and it would find an audience. Link timestamped below.

@@wolokowoh0 people recommend it regardless of its connection to Rev. You see it on everyone reaction channel that gets to A7X. Even if she listened to another song first, this would have inevitably be recommended. I've even see channels get recommend this as the 1st song. It's dumb.
This is coming from someone who likes this song.
You quit? But the ending is the best part!
Just a note for fans. When you request reactors to listen to a song, it's better to go for something they would like or resonate with.
Like "Hey, I totally think you should check out Xanadu live exit stage left by Rush and see how three guys were able to reproduce that big sound live on stage, I think you'd enjoy it"
wink wink
Not sure what kind of music you write, sing or listen to but this is gold. Terrible review
Here's a tip for those that recommended this song: If you're not recommending the more modern and better produced music first, you're doing it wrong. You gotta Trojan Horse them the more interesting music first. You wouldn't show someone The Sound of Silence and then put on Down with the Sickness or Droppin Plates next, to use Disturbed as an example.
Everyone who doesn't like this song is a robot in the system programed to read the book by its cover and based on what they see an not actually listen tho the son an its story qn appreciate the masterpiece that was created not many people can create a 10 minute masterpiece an portray a wonderful story with amazing music some comedy and cynicalness this will forever be one of the most beautiful written masterpiece
They closed with this at Sonic Temple this year was amazing loved it.
I’d love to see her make a GOOD song
"If she doesn't like the same songs as me, she doesn't know music!"
I was looking forward for this ahahahah
🎶I can keep you lookin' young and preserved forever
With a fountain to spray on your youth whenever 🎶
😴😴idk man why people go for "a little piece of heaven" first, it's a legendary song and arguably their top 3 but I mean its not the song u should start with, like a game level it's on par, that's why I say people to listen through albums.I would recommend listen their famous song and by that whole album of that song.
I mean honestly, its a song about passion, greed, redemption, and infinite love. Its beautiful.
I adore this song, and find it so musically interesting and cool, but I've listened to it so much in definitely desensitised to the subject matter. It's a shame but also understandable that you didn't enjoy it because it is meant to be just a proper horror story. But still a shame because musically and vocals it's so cool!
Still the greatest love song ever written.
Okay, i kinda get it, but for all the OG A7X fans who know how this song came about, know it is to be viewed from a completely different angle. This song was basically an idea of their first drummer who past away. It was a experimental song and not meant to be taken seriously. To me it's sad that people are so easily offended or shock about something (even tho Elizabeth normaly isn't really one of them). I'm suprised out of all songs thing one is to much for you.
Basicaly if this where to be a horror movie their wouldn't be so much fuzz.
I very highly suggest you DONT listen to anything from Infant Annihilator (Will Ramos his inspiration. That's,because of their lyrical content)
Fool really said “their first drummer” as if the Rev wasn’t a crucially important and part of the band, and then proceeded to downplay his songwriting abilities.. The disrespect😶😶
@@TheFapFactory I said "their first drummer" so people who don't know him or the band would understand. 2nd what i meant to say is that the this particular song was supposed to be a funny and just crazy song/story this had nothing to do with the REV's musical or creating talents. The REV was my inspiration with his songs and playing to give drumming a second try and I haven't stopped ever since. Sadly I can add you to the easily offended list.
This song isn’t meant to be positive. It’s a fucked up song that’s intentionally made to be horror in nature, to call it disgusting or criticize it for doing what it was intended to do is laughably stupid.
Yeah it’s not like people have different tastes or anything lol. I suppose next you’re going to call her a “poser”. Even as a metalhead myself, even I have to admit that some metalheads are legitimately the most pompous people on earth on account of shitting on anybody with different tastes
Calling something disgusting that was intentionally made to disgust people is laughably stupid? You're laughably stupid
@@JustinHmusicNah, youre wrong. She basically did the equivalent of watching a horror movie and complaining it was too scary. If you can't appreciate a song in context and only have a reactionary take you need to reevaluate what the goal of your critique is.
@@Toastybees You're complaining she had a reactionary take on a video of about her first reactionary take to a song? There is critique mixed in her videos but the main goal is to show what her first reaction is to a song lol. Her first reaction to this song was a strong enough dislike that she didn't want to post it. Her content so that is fair.
I think the problem with this song is that, if you go into it with no background knowledge as you did, it can come across as a vile or horrible song. But if you understand the background writing of it (they have a “making of” video for the entire album and it was really interesting to see how this song came together) then you can appreciate it better
You can say that. Your reactions i thought were supposed to be about the music. The way they put this together is genius period.
Sorry woman that's song is fire 🤘🤘🤘
Also my wedding song
@@Michael97Moore nice
I concur
Where you raised in a nunnery?
It’s called a convent.
Some suggestions id recommend from are Buried Alive, The Stage, Sidewinder or Nightmare. But if you want newer music by them, Cosmic is a interesting tune to check out.
Wait until she finds Mein Teil
grow up
Yeah I agree that making a song just for shock value is really childish
So. I get that some people need to see the positive in everything. Its totally fine. But for those of us that love the macabre or grimdark type of creativity, this is probably a top song for us. Musically this is one of their best, and its not just loved because its edgy. And its not suggested for a reaction because its edgy. Its because it takes you on a ride through a story. Id bet that the people who stray away from this also dont enjoy horror that much.
It's a shame you felt this way about the song. It's definitely a song that's meant to have shock value, but it's genuinely an absolutely astounding song. I guess some people quit horror films, despite however well recieved they are as a piece of art, because they can't handle seeing things in them, so i can get that level, but i personally would probably rate it as their best song, even as someone who isn't a big fan of anything between City of Evil and The Stage.
I have loved the song for years. It's brilliantly written.
I would definitely suggest another look at A7X's music. This song came out of the brilliance of The Rev, may he rest in peace, but there's so much more to them. Probably notable ones would be "Hail To The King" (probably should've started with that one LOL) and "Nightmare". Though with "A LIttle Piece Of Heaven", the work that they all put into that song showed just how much they support each other. They were on hiatus after a long tour and just need some time away but The Rev had this song and instead of backing out, the whole band came together and ended up producing it themselves along with getting the symphony, female singer, sound effects, etc. They did a breakdown on their channel and it is incredible how much work they did with it.
Classic Jimmy! Sorely missed
its a weird and twisted romantic song, thats why many couples/girls like it.
the lyrical selves of the song, a guy and a chick, kill eachother and end up together forever in the afterlife as nymphomaniacal zombies.
in a sense the at the ending the song also becomes a 'make-up song' specially in the slow part when the female vocals kick in.
plus the connection between death and sex/lust n the psyche is really strong (refer to psychoanalisis for an example), thats why french people say that orgasm is the petit mort.
remember that the song came out during the emo/scene/screamo era and twilight era as well
For real! her hasty judgements ruined any incentive to consumer her content tbh
Never heard that one... went out and watched it and...
I get the literalism of "tearing a heart out" or "going through the motions" (seeming like sex with a zombie), etc... obviously gruesome when taken literally... but... not to he taken seriously, and you can tell in the video they did their best to sort of have fun with it (skeletal horn players, etc). All in all, not for me, but "fun" in a dark macabre fashion.
