A7X: This is our "breakdown" series where we explain how we made our classic songs
Also A7X: I don't remember any of this shit, wtf were we thinking??
I love how Matt makes fun of his voice at the time haha. I don’t think the mix does it justice to be fair
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao🤣
@@ExternusArmy His overall attempt to go higher registers back then was a big overstep for him, his voice naturally is not that good at these types of melodies and he hadn't yet perfected his singing technique back then either.
@@subutaynoyan5372 I don’t know man, check out the video titled Making of City of Evil Part 3, it’s him singing in the vocal booth. The high note on D5 actually sounds like one of his best high notes he’s ever sang, with vibrato and control and power. It sounds awful and strained on the album version so I think the mix really hides a lot of his ability at the time. His live vocals were also probably the best at that time in terms of range. His highest full note ever was from that time, a G#5 from Beast and the Harlot live.
Personally I don't care what song they do next. As long they continue to do them as they are massively Interesting to watch.
"they are massively interesting to watch"
I agree, yall remember that time jimmy started to chase a duck
Yes! 😂 I still die laughing till this very day
@@josephbranstetter831 "that's the biggest fu**in duck i've ever seen in my life"
@Pocky Doobles coming here to find out what you think on Nobody, their latest release.
@@lambofgod0086 yeah i'm waiting for him 😂
He who makes a bisque out of his sauce gets rid of the stain of cleaning the pan YNUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHAAAAAA
I died at this comment
Lol
😂
Please stop....get some help
Sam Ginoble oh god
3:21 Can we just take a moment to honor Johnny Christ for tipping that ridiculous bass part with Jimmy tormenting him with a middle finger to the face for no reason 😂
Lmao
Sidewinder has tons of different melodies in it. We'd LOVE to watch it, too!
Love you guys. xx
My little pony Bats Apple jack Fluttrshy
@@febrascasatria8001 What the fuck
Uğurgül Üney even save me
@@soham4741 save me has been done
Uğurgül Üney well maybe they should do one one exist too , like they did with the stage
Hard to believe this song is coming up on 15 years old...
Holy shit, I’m only 3 years older than it
RMZrider12 the whole city of evil album is bro
@@dudeda96er I would have never guessed that the song is as old as the album it's off of.. 😂😂
Yep, 14 years old yesterday
I hace 15 Yeats old hahaha
Johnny does not get as much love as he deserves, that bass line on the post chorus is amazing
2:19 M. Shadows signature scream
The post chorus part sounds amazing, totally different feel
Exactly!
Favorite part of the song
After that we were presented with a deadly solo guitar
That slow bit revealing the nature of the drums and bass without the guitar feels like being on something “riding it out”, hoping your heart doesn’t give out before sunrise
One of first songs by A7x that caught my ear. Thanks for this. :)
Avenged sevenfold alittle piece Of heaven
@@febrascasatria8001 that was the first for me :)
Seize the day was my first
Bat Country was the first for me. Heard it on Saints Row II, my uncles custom playlist back in like '09.
Heard it on the best radio station at the time, now a stupid sports station, 94.1. THEY HAD A SEGMENT CALLED MANDATORY METALLICA! I heard Bat Country, tagged it, and the rest was history.
Please isolate and expand on Johnny's bass track. It is so soothing behind an otherwise chaotic song
It just follows the rhythm guitar
Especially in the slower sections
@@ShadowKiller571not in the post chorus
Watching Avenged make fun of elements of their old songs is officially my new favorite thing.
You can tell it's been a good while since they've gone back and listened to these songs.....
Hopefully they'll take notes for when they write their new album
Satria mama
@@febrascasatria8001 yes
XchuggsX and when they prepare next tour
They should go back and write a CoE 2. Not something they'd ever do, but fans would love it.
Lol nope... hahah
I use to HATE A7X!
Then I’m home one day and this song comes on and I grab the remote to change the channel and I pause and let the song play. I couldn’t believe how good it was! The solo came in and it was like hearing randy rhoads again.
Beast and the Harlot and seize the day came out and I bought the album. That is still my favorite album of the last 20 years and they are up there on my all time favorite bands of all time
Keep rocking Avenged Sevenfold
I know a band named Avenged sevenfold from 2005. But never cared about them until 2013, my highschool mate listened to them and i'm curious about them in 2013.
instead of hail to the king, City of evil's album is the first album me to hear.
And i'm thinking wtf am i doing since 2005 and only discovered them in 2013.
And now i'm discovered all of their album. I can't pick my favourite album because they're different. There are Metalcore, Heavy metal, Progressive metal etc. And i love all of them.
Please post Critical Acclaim or any other song with Jimmy's vocal next!
I would love to see that.
Edit, they did Almost Easy, which has a Jimmy vocal in it.
May Jimmy the Rev be tearing up his own little piece of heaven. #foREVer
Oh men, this makes me cry ;(
nah I don't hope he is going to fuck a dead corpse and then have to marry it
This is the best fan service a band can offer 😍❤
Breakdown episode:
M. Shadows and the frontman of avenged sevenfold
Really i missed M. Shadows doing those raspy high falsetto thing like "No oasis here to SEEEEE"
Melodica He does something similar on Mad Hatter.
Get over it. His voice is still good, it’s just more mature. Quit crying.
@@rh9626 WTF dude?
Did i said his voice declining?
Why have to response with so much negativity?
Go cry to your mom
@@joshuatyler4657 Oh yeah he did it in mad hatter.
Sounds like bruce dickinson really 😎
Rdog 1507 No where did he say that his voice was getting bad all he said was that he missed those parts of the song.
8:25 vocal & acoustic so peaceful 😊
I could listen to that for YEARS its so beautiful
5:50 Matt says he hasn’t had doubled vocals since. Has doubled vocals on Afterlife 😂
I think he was meaning they havent done that since they've worked with mudrock
I remember thinking that City of Evil has wayyyy more vocal parts than a lot of other albums I was listening to at the time. My friends and I joked that M Shadows wanted to show off how much better he had gotten at singing.
Man watching Jimmy play those fills
make Dear God or A Little Peace Of Heaven breakdown :))
John Jones Avenged Sevenfold
Watch making of avenged sevenfold
@@LeandroCapstick what youtube channel?
because I mean Breakdown of that song :)
@@LeandroCapstick my alittle pony mlp Apple jack metal Bats
@@seventrials7989 well if you just type making of avenged sevenfold, which goes through the process of making the white album, they basically breakdown all the songs from the album in greater detail.
They need to start uploading these again after the LIBAD tours
Listening to some of the isolated vocals/drums/guitars is awesome coz I can't think of the number of times I've listened to Bat Country and I've never picked up on some of these things.
Noone gonna mention the LSD reference at the end?
Johnny: Sounds like it kinda has a *looks at camera * Liquid sound to it
Matt: Hahahahaha .... Yeah.... Liquid
I mean, the song is an LSD reference.
I love how theyre talking about one of their most popular songs and the whole time theyre just baffled at what the hell they were thinking 😂😂😂😂😂😂
" He who makes a beast out of himself
Gets rid of the pain of being a man"
I smiled really big when he singled it out the 2nd time and watched M smile really biggg lol
MMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Hunter S. Thompson, that was my senior quote.
Actually have this tatted on my arms
He who makes a bisque out of the sauce, gets rid of the stain and cleaning the pan!
Blinded in Chains!!!!!
Please!
Yeeees!
Yes, agreed
Please 😭😭😭
Gotta give Johnny some props that bassline for the trippy part is amazing
Please please do Critical Acclaim, especially with Jimmy’s isolated vocals in the chorus!
making of critical acclaim lol youtube it
@@weiner392 that is make it not breakdown stupid
“Shhh quiet you might piss somebody off”
It would've been great if you released more videos of Jimmy drumming!
It's always facinating when i know these behind the song writing. Love you guys.
Please do Sidewinder on next episode
I just look at that thumbnail and i notice when i saw it's jimmy then i click and set reminder 😘 miss you jimmy 😣 rest in peace knife master 😢
Yup
Finally! No more low res vids from the CoE album in the studio. Keep em coming! Love this album.
I'll never forget hearing this song on the local radio back in 2015 when I just moved to FL & thinking "who the hell is this band, who has that bad ass voice, & damn those drums!"
I bought the album soon after & thus my A7X adventure began. I bought Waking the Fallen soon after that.
Bat Country, what a life changing track, still love this song. This was my first real introduction to metal in 2005. I was learning guitar at the time and was blown away when I first heard this . I've heard metal before but man, the production quality of City of Evil, that whole album still sounds amazing to this day. The guitar tones are just godlike. I'm still an aspiring musician today. I remember these guys being on TRL that time, what a momentous moment for modern rock and metal. What a victory for every kid grinding away at their guitar every day, to see that you can make it to the top. It's so sad since then, rocks been virtually nonexistent in mainstream again.
At the 7:57 mark where Johnny said it sounded like a intro, my brain automatically thought of anime intros and was all like "YASSSS! A7X the anime!" 10/10 would watch if it was a thing 😁😂
The face he makes with the track at 1:45 had me in stitches
7:24 Get yourself someone who looks at you the way Johnny looks at Matt
The first isolated vocal track sounded like a Dave Mustaine impersonation.
We need this old stuff on new album
The Rev at his best! God, how I miss this guy... Please do Fiction! Thanks for sharing guys!
Uploaded May 15th? You’ve been holding out on us!! Thanks for sharing now though 😁😁😁
Thaaaaaankyou Papa Gates for postin’!
Is Papa Gates the one behind the channel??
@@ZackyKlassen yes lmao
Proof?
Synyster?
@@vineroli its syns dad also know as Guitar Guy (fairly famous in his own right). He's the one playing acoustic at 7:30
Jimmy flippin off Johnny while he plays bass is so hilarious to watch :D
Jimmy really was MVP on City of Evil, his drumming took the album to another level imo
I feel in love with this album as soon as I heard the 1st minute of beast and the Harlot.
Mannn, that solo and the melody got me into A7X ! LOVE IT
Growing up this song was a staple for any road trip. Still holds up.
Now I just need a full version of that Spanish guitar sounding part with the drums.
Are they doing City of Evil songs now???
AWESOME!!!
MIA!!!! Burn it Down!!! Blinded I'm Chains!!!!
Strength of the World!!! Sidewinder!!! everything else!!!!
The whole album
@@paradigmshiftz7 Betrayeddddddddd best frikin song everrrrrr passion in my eyesssssssssss I lived it every dayyyy but how could you gooooooo throw it all awayyyyyyyyyy
Blinded in chains
@@mnrs1327 YESS I fucking love that song so much!!! One of my favourites of CoE
we miss & love you Jimmy..
#foREVer
Forever

I Won't See You Tonight part 1 and 2!
This was the first song I ever heard from a7x I remember it like it was yesterday it came on the radio one day and blew my mind a7x has from that day on been my favorite band I turned the radio on right in the middle of the solo and almost thought it was a new metallica song but it was an even better new band Avenged Sevenfold! Its crazy to think that was 15 years ago I'm almost 31 now and still listen to a7x every day religiously and always will purchase every album and support the band in any way I can keep up the awesome work guys! R.I.P. Jimmy the Rev Sullivan
Watching this reminded me of the first time listening to bat country. You guys have done so much for me over the years. And I'm happy to see the band moving along with new music. Thank you guys for everything.
You can't imagine how happy this makes me. You really changed my life with your music. Thanks for keeping uploading these videos.
I love these breakdowns. Gives me a renewed interest in songs I otherwise kind of wasn’t as big a fan of compared to others. 👍🏼
I can’t believe I’ve never seen these before. I could watch these everyday for the rest of my life
Idk if anyone else has noticed, but even just Matt's normal speaking voice is getting some major strength back compared to what it was late last year. Getting super excited to hear what his full recovery sound is gonna be like on the new album
It’s really awesome watching The Rev in the studio playing drums. Rev rules!
finally !!! thank you so long i waited for this breakdown 😭😭😭😩😩❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕
I and many other hope that second part of this breakdown would include guitar stuff. That dual harmony, solo and clean are the things that made me and many others pick guitar and start playing. That feeling is still strong. And we need Sir Papa Gates to one breakdown episode too, at least. Thank you for doing these videos!
This was the first Avenged song I ever heard and I was hooked immediately. Amazing song.
So interesting to see one of my favourite, most nostalgic songs broken down like this, keep this series going! :)
One of my favorite song, absolutely love it
We Italian fans are waiting anxiously for a new concert here in Italy, we love you!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️
So far, this is the best of the series. And it's fucking amazing!
First heard you while playing the old Most Wanted and Blinded in Chains came up. :D
It really blew my mind, could you do a breakdown of that?
thats what got me into rock and metal!
@@Motoloen Same! :D
@@Motoloen same xD
Blinded in chains and Hand of blood were the two songs that got me into metal🤘
The isolated drums and base is sick af! I can get down to that as a new song! Can’t wait for part 2.
one of my favorite bands and one of my favorite authors/books/movies, thank you
I remember getting City of Evil and I was very supportive with their change in sound and even commended them for it. This album changed my life.
@7:25 I always love that part. The melody and all is amazing.🔥🔥🔥
Seriously its so good
The bass line is so awesome
Imagine if they did a breakdown episode on December 29th this year in 2019 and then they were like "The rev and M shadows breakdown their song "Fiction" " and it was Jimmy and Matt breaking the song down.
Love these breakdown videos!
i was one of the many people who watch their performance and video on trl and became a fan and the rest is history
the post-chorus part sounds like it came from "The Stage" when it's stripped down like it is at around 7:47
Avenged Sevenfold is my favorite band of all time they make the BEST MUSIC
I listened to this song for the first time earlier today and I loved it. Legendary. I love listening to it over and over. Jimmy did such an amazing job on the drums. He will be in our hearts foREVer.
Every few weeks I come back to these videos and watch them.
I remember waking up at 6:30am to go to school and seeing bat country play on MTV and how Blinded in Chains was on the original need for speed most wanted game. They stuck with me and made me get into a7x. been my favorite band ever since.
Please never stop doing these ❤
very good
I'd love to see some of the older songs, waking the fallen or even sounding the seventh trumpet
Thank you for making this breakdown, outstanding song.
I love these episodes. Feels good man.
It was nice to hear you guys making considerations about the ACCEPTANCE of this track... That was very cool to see the VOCAL LINES OVERDUBS SEPARATELY, at 6 minutes and 4 seconds of this video !!! All thumbs up to that !!
Can you do one for second heartbeat? I love the way m shadows gets into it all with the guitar lingo lol these guys have such a great story and can really entertain with or with out instruments 🎸
I just love to see how much fun they have analysing this
Love the song. And absolutely love the music video! I really hoped more music videos would be like this every time they came out. Even though they are pretty rad as they are.
thanks so much! thats all the breakdowns i wanted so far :) afterlife next !
One of my favorite songs. Not just from Avenged Sevenfold, but of all time from any band. Love it!
It still blows my mind to this day hearing the difference between when M. Shadows talks and when he sings.
I love every single brake down in the songs hearing everyone's part in the songs
Now this is what I'm waiting for, awesome! 🤟
One of my favorite albums from any band. And this song is in my top 3 all time for sure.
This song brings me nostalgia ❤️
Matt just looks like such a chill honest dude to hang with.
This one is my fav song, i will enjoy every second of this breakdown.
This album was my absolutely favorite! The Rev killed it on the drums and will always be my favorite drummer. RIP Jimmy 💜. #forREVer
I love these. I wish I could get these song files and play around with them myself and listen to individual things myself. These are so cool!
first music i've listen from you many years ago, so much memories
