Yeah man, there are SO many parts of this song that makes this song probably their Top 3 songs in their discography, but the radio version cuts it out which is a damn shame. Totally agree.
Hunter Ritter 12 I feel like the music video gives a good image of the song and you kind of need that for this song’s first listen, but I just wish they didn’t lob off the into, outro, drum solo, and half the last chorus for it. The stark endings are just pretty bad to me.
Man when you were shocked by the drummer it's crazy. Because its clear that you didn't know that he's dead. But with Recordings like this I guess he's not. He lives on. RIP Rev.
@CODY ADAMS lol nope. As much as I like Acclaim, The Stage is such a better composition that it's not even funny. PS: Also, go ahead "Jedi Jesus" and make your joke.
@@DiegoDeschain Yeah, The Stage is next-level songwriting compared to Critical Acclaim. Not even a close race. Did Critical Acclaim even have a video? I don't recall, and the video for The Stage is also top shelf.
This is the song that got me into the band. This came out in a time where technicality had taken a major backseat in terms of rock music, and Synyster came out ripping this solo. Caught my attention and appreciation ever since.
This is possibly my ALL TIME favorite Avenged Sevenfold song. The long, uncut, unedited version is absolutely fantastic. If you pay attention to the lyrical content, it speaks about events straight out of the book of Revelations. This song is essentially a Sunday school lesson in a killer heavy metal song. A LOT of Avenged Sevenfold's songs have a very subtle (or not that subtle) religious or Christian meaning to them.
@@dyingaether we all have listened to original I think he should first do original audio version In live version there's to much to look on for the first time you know!
You're right part of the reason A7X is hated on is because they are a mainstream metal band. They've been described as a metal boy band. But their true push on to the mainstream came on one of the old PS2 versions of Madden football when they started adding music to their game. So if you want to react to their first mainstream song list to Avenged Sevenfold Chapter Four. This song is from their 2nd album.
Why does nobody suggest "Chapter Four" or "Remenissions" from the Waking The Fallen album? Personally my favorite songs from the album are: 1) Remenissions 2) Chapter Four 3) Second Heartbeat
Great song choice :) This really is one of The Revs best songs. Its also really hard to play. I only got to hear it with him behind the drums once and it was incredible. Lyrically it's amazing. The whole album for me is as close to perfection as you can get. Nothing has come close yet in my opinion.
Great song choice! This one really showcases Jimmys skills. :) I'm telling you that whole album is as close to perfection I've heard so far. The whole band was amazing. They worked hard on this album and had fun making it. You can tell.
yo dude love your a7x reactions. Really hope you get around to their song "I won't see you tonight (part 1)". It was the other song their guitarist Synyster Gates wrote. He's the one who wrote So Far Away. I won't see you tonight is another one of their sad tunes, it's amazing.
For a song basically quoting sections of the Book of Revelations, this is essentially a heavy metal Sunday school lesson. Pretty much my all-time favorite Avenged Sevenfold song, and that's NOT an easy feat.
I see Alex Hefner and A7X in the same notification, I click. Most of A7X haters seem to be pseudopurist trashheads. This band brought so much to metal and music in general. Oh, and a band that produces 7mn long tracks is not a radio band.
Their drummer is The Rev. You reacted to "So Far Away" which is actually a tribute to The Rev when he died in December 2009, the same year this video was released. He was awesome, and will always be the best a7x drummer. FoREVer!
Dude, you've gotta watch Avenged Sevenfold's song So Far Away. It's a song saying goodbye their drummer after he died. And it makes me feel every time I listen to it or watch the video
I don’t know what hurts more: thinking how The Rev is no longer with us everytime Alex says “that drummer though”, or Alex not realizing that “that drummer” is The Rev.
Dude, DEFINITELY check out the full version of this song when you get the chance (if you haven't already)! It's so much better, there's an awesome build in the intro and the ending of the song is a bit more fleshed out.
I think you should react to these A7X songs: Fiction Save Me Victim God Hates Us Reminissions Crossroads Blinded In Chains I think you’ll really like them.
Basically, Alex, this song was basically described as a comparison of Babylon to Hollywood This is an older song, as evidenced by Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan on The drums, which Rev was The principal writer of this song
Bueller117 that live performance is not even that good. They destroy the solos (not in a good way). Great song needs to be heard on their studio version.
Alex, if you are ever looking for a KILLER POPULAR PLAYLIST just go down the Guitar Hero Catalog from beginning to end. This song was on it and it takes me back.
“That drummer tho”. ..... Rest In Peace foREVer!!! Sleep well Jimmy
😭😭😭😭
HE IS FOREVER MISSED😭😭😭
The Rev \m/
I had the privilege and honor to see him live warped tour 07. He is a legend. Hope to see him up there one day.
foREVer
"WOOOOOH THAT DRUMMER THOOOOOUGH" my heart, my soul... im dying inside, RIP the Rev .-.
hi
Alex you reacted to the wrong version, there is so much more to this song that you missed, this is the cut version
The key change at the end and the repeat of the intro!!!
Christian Dinero and the drum solo

Maaaaan, Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage, I've been asking for a year!
Alan León bru I’ve been asking for critical acclaim forever
@CODY ADAMS Shhhh.... Quiet, you might piss somebody off.

Alan León I got agree with you I’ve asked the same
The nostalgia its always amazing to listen to The Revs drumming
Rest in peace Jimmy 'the Rev' Sullivan
When reaction channels watch the music video which cuts out the drum solo. :(
Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage!!!!
You’ll definitely love it from start to finish forsure.
You should check out "Bow Down" by I Prevail!
That shit is good
Agree
I fuckin hope Alex sees this. That song is so great! He’d lose his mind on it for sure
I’ve been asking for this since it came out 😂
Agree
This is the song that got me into the band. This came out in a time where technicality had taken a major backseat in terms of rock music, and Synyster came out ripping this solo. Caught my attention and appreciation ever since.

hey
RIP the Rev....definitely one of my favorite drummers
We need a city of evil ALBUM reaction
Yeah that way he hears the full versions of this and bat country
Yes. Just yes. This album is awesome

Thanks for Playing my Favorite Band of All Time
Disasterpiece by Slipknot please dude requesting for a long long time ...come on please
( original audio version )
Well, no wonder that DISASTERPIECE rhymes with MASTERPIECE!
@@dyingaether Yeah, London 2002 is my go to
Maybe stop begging? Its annoying
Lets be honest an entire iowa reaction would be legit
@@dyingaether we all have listened to original I think he should first do original audio version
In live version there's to much to look on for the first time you know!
Love you mate! I always support your a7x videos cuz it's my favourite band in all ways.
Critical Acclaim next pls for A7X :)
Heads up this version cuts out the whole intro and the drum solo. Also the ending is different.
React to Save Me by Avenged Sevenfold. I think you'll like it (:
That song is a masterpiece itself
Yes or Victim
Yogev Eldar yes easily one of my favorite songs
The band says that Buried Alive is like their version of stairway to heaven, but I think save me is a better fit. And goddammit Save Me is phenomenal
You're right part of the reason A7X is hated on is because they are a mainstream metal band. They've been described as a metal boy band. But their true push on to the mainstream came on one of the old PS2 versions of Madden football when they started adding music to their game. So if you want to react to their first mainstream song list to Avenged Sevenfold Chapter Four. This song is from their 2nd album.
You need to go back to their earier tracks. React to Unholy Confessions or Second Heartbeat by them!
"Turn the other way" Going back even further lols
Why does nobody suggest "Chapter Four" or "Remenissions" from the Waking The Fallen album? Personally my favorite songs from the album are:
1) Remenissions
2) Chapter Four
3) Second Heartbeat
@Ethan Anderson I personally prefer Pt 2 more
cody frommelt Second Heartbeat for sure!
One thing I really hate about when people react to the MV of Beast And The Harlot, they dont get to see Jimmy's kickass drum solo :(
Great song choice :) This really is one of The Revs best songs. Its also really hard to play. I only got to hear it with him behind the drums once and it was incredible. Lyrically it's amazing. The whole album for me is as close to perfection as you can get. Nothing has come close yet in my opinion.
Just thought to myself.. "wonder if Alex has reacted to any metal recently."
And you hit me with my all time favorite band
Silence Speaks by While She Sleeps.
YOUR KING HAS SPOKEN
Yessss finallyyyy 😩 I’ve been dying for you to react to this amazing song!!
The Rev went full animal on this song 🔥
the part that you talking about, it also make me put this song to my playlist! and you should listen the full version, man, thats lit!
React to Save Me by Avenged Sevenfold
Haven't heard this song in years, man. Thanks for the nostalgia!
"That drummer tho" -The Rev might he rest in peace
Great song choice! This one really showcases Jimmys skills. :) I'm telling you that whole album is as close to perfection I've heard so far. The whole band was amazing. They worked hard on this album and had fun making it. You can tell.
Do unholy confessions
The beginning of the chorus there that Alex loves so much, is my alarm in the morning. Great way to wake up
I freakin love the drumming in this track. As always please react to the awesome maximum the hormone “yoshu fukushu”
Roman Sky, Victim, Tonight the World Dies are all sad and beautiful lyrically and musically. All around perfect.
Hell A7X's name is biblical. "Any who kill Cane shall Vengance be done upon him Seven Times."
Majority of their material seems stemmed from scripture
That drummer is the legendary, late, great Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. He was the fucking man, and we Avenged fans miss him every day.
React to The Stage by them next 👏🏻
finally this song thanks. you should recommend it to your friends, vin and sori reactions it would be great.
Man, I’ve never clicked so fast. One of my favorites from A7X
They put on one hell of a show live! Hands down one of the best shows I’ve seen.
yo dude love your a7x reactions. Really hope you get around to their song "I won't see you tonight (part 1)". It was the other song their guitarist Synyster Gates wrote. He's the one who wrote So Far Away. I won't see you tonight is another one of their sad tunes, it's amazing.
Yes!!!!!!!!! And part 2 as well!!!
It's so beautiful, I want the song itself tattooed
People:Headbangability is not a word.
Metal heads: Its a verb!!
You should do:
This Means War
Seize the Day
Unholy Confessions
The Stage
Agreed
Why is no one mentioning A Little Piece of Heaven... it’s a damn dream
GivenSpade unholy confessions definetly! and requiem!
@@Reallybigletterz09 cuz he did it
The amount of religion that A7X puts into their videos, especially in their "City of Evil" album, is super interesting.
Yes A7X!!!
For a song basically quoting sections of the Book of Revelations, this is essentially a heavy metal Sunday school lesson. Pretty much my all-time favorite Avenged Sevenfold song, and that's NOT an easy feat.
damn you were like "that drummer though" but they cut like 90% of his drum solo out of it :((((( please react to the full version
Strength of the World and/or Hail to the King for the next A7X song! Always a good time seeing your reactions to these songs I've grown up with.

Its a shame all he does is react to their radio songs. Hes missing out on the best stuff.
@@user-vs6vr3oc4k you're right, sounding the seventh trumpet and waking the fallen have so much to offer
literally anything else by them, preferably the stage or second heartbeat
Critical Acclaim (Live in the lbc)-Avenged Sevenfold
Their drummer is The Rev. You reacted to "So Far Away" which is actually a tribute to The Rev when he died in December 2009, the same year this video was released. He was awesome, and will always be the best a7x drummer. FoREVer!
The Revs drumming is wicked. RIP

I don’t know what hurts more: thinking how The Rev is no longer with us everytime Alex says “that drummer though”, or Alex not realizing that “that drummer” is The Rev.
I honestly dont know how anyone can NOT even remotely like A7X. One of the best current metal bands imo
that drummer will always be a LEGEND! RIP JIMMY
