    I told my friends/co-workers that "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" by Panic At the Disco is one of the best white boy songs I've ever heard. Now they're sending me song suggestions and I'm doing live reactions here, on the Trying White Music series lmao

    Quick Note! They didn’t give me a song lol. I just did a poll on which band to listen to! So I looked up Avenged Sevenfold and clicked whichever song had the coolest name 😂🔥
    I’ll break my rule and do another Avenged Sevenfold song quick because this one was so dope. So, WHAT SONG? 👀

      "Not Ready To Die" - F'n gem. About zombies. 7 minutes of headbanging. People will suggest "Nightmare" and "Bat Country" and "Beast And The Harlot" and "A Little Piece of Heaven", but those are weak if you want to really want a testosterone/pump you up music.

      Shepherd of fire by avenged sevenfold, about the same hard ass vibe. Night witches by sabaton has that same "Ima conquer a few cities in an epicly arranged action scene" vibe

You GOTTA watch Nobody from their upcoming album next! The band is about to revolutionize the soundscape of metal on their new album Life is but a Dream.
    They're inspired by chord progressions used in Hip Hop & RnB and let me tell you: the guitar work of Synyster Gates on Nobody will melt your face off. It is that lit. You will hear sounds coming out of a guitar you didn't know it was possible to produce. Like a buzz saw meets air-raid siren. And the guitar solo will lift you to another plane of existance, guaranteed. That shit is absolute hype!

    I think this shines a light on why it's cool to write accessible songs sometimes. Lots of Sevenfold fans bashed this album when it came out but to see this song reel someone in so completely was heartwarming.

    As a kid I grew up listening to the classic metal bands. Judas Priest, Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Motörhead. But A7X is what got me to expand my horizons with newer metal bands. The day Sounding the Seventh Trumpet dropped and To End the Rapture played on my Sony Walkman I knew I was in for a wild ride and I’ve been hooked on A7X ever since. Each album has something different for everyone. For me personally A7X is one of those bands where I still can listen each album cover to cover and not skip. I can’t pick a favorite song. I’m excited that being a fan of the band for 22 years I finally get to see them live at Aftershock. 🤘🏽

Considering this is two months old, I would recommend someone recommends Sabaton next. You would go nuts on some of Sabaton's songs.😏

    A7X is such a good band if you think this is good the live concerts from them are an absolute spectacle. Went to go see them when they released the Nightmare album and that show was amazing. Honestly their albums as a whole are absolutely killer even sounding the seventh trumpet their first album.

  • @MidnighTokr
    @MidnighTokr ปีที่แล้ว +17

    The answer to your first question is yes, he's playing it perfectly for that long. It's called a riff coming from a guitar or bass, so you'd say "is he playing that riff...." and the thing about the riff he's playing is that it's extremely easy to do and very simplistic, but it sounds awesome because of the effects he's adding (phaser, delay, overdrive, likely some others to get his signature sound). He's playing one open note repeatedly with a tapping pattern on the same string at a much slower pace.
    I'm really not even a fan of this band, their vocalist kind of ruins it for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction!

    • @GlennLaLondeIV
