Avenged Sevenfold are huge on releasing emotional and musically complex songs. M. Shadows is the lead vocalist and lyricist of this song, Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance are the guitarists, Johnny Christ is the bassist, and James "The Rev" Sullivan is the drummer. If you want to react to more emotional A7X songs, their two-part song I Won't See You Tonight, Gunslinger and Danger Line, which are two military themed tracks like this one is, and Fiction, the last Avenged Sevenfold song which had been written, sung, and performed on piano by The Rev are for you. If you want to react to more musically complex A7X songs, Beast and the Harlot (album version, avoid its shortened music video version), Save Me, Not Ready to Die, and Fermi Paradox are for you. If you want to react to A7X's most romantic songs, Warmness on the Soul, Seize the Day, Dear God, and Acid Rain are for you. If you want to react to A7X's most aggressive songs, Darkness Surrounding, Eternal Rest, Desecrate Through Reverence, and God Hates Us are for you. If you want to react to A7X's most creative and eccentric songs, The Wicked End, Strength of the World, A Little Piece of Heaven, and Exist are for you. Avenged Sevenfold have released songs in nearly every subgenre of rock music during their career. If you want to react to A7X's covers of other artists, their covers of Walk by Pantera, Flash of the Blade by Iron Maiden, Malagueña Salerosa (a Mexican folk song) as most known by Chingon, and As Tears Go By (which had been written by and initially been handed off by the Rolling Stones before they'd released their version) by Marianne Faithfull are for you.
Great reaction. As a vet myself, I imagine this song as the story of many of our older veteran comrades, like Vietnam, Korea, etc. Super powerful lyrics and music.
Great reaction! Perhaps my most favorite A7X song, alongside Dangerline and Gunslinger, their military trilogy of you would like to continue with those as well. I was also wondering if you could revisit the band 1914. With Armistice Day coming up and Netflix’s release of All Quiet on the Western Front, I think it would be a good fit. Stoßtrupp, Christmas Truce, Verdun would be a few good ones.
Please react to "Danger Line" and/or "Save Me" especiallly the latter is a musical masterpiece imo. Great reaction btw you really are one of those reactors that seem true with their reaction and not artificial.
Oh yeah! Avenged always surprising us with their letters. Nice react, as ever, vey transparent and honest. You could react to Avenged Sevenfold - God hates us (heavy song haha) or arame farpado - Engenheiros do Hawaii please, with a great riff in verse, but I don't know if you will cause it's not metal, but anyway Hgs bro!
The band had just signed a big contract with Warner brothers and shifted their sound to this really musical, melodic hard rock that really was a throwback to iron maiden and that era - they've talked a bit about trying to do way too much in this album, all at once, lol - I think this song shows some of that. The talent is undeniably there, but the focus is definitely a little scattered hehehe, thanks for the reaction man!
When they question why they are somewhere I don't think it is referencing lack of information from the internet but rather if they have the right information when you sometimes hear about the hidden reasons governments sometimes choose war.....ie for democracy but was really for oil access.
it's a common theme in media that service members, usually conscripts, have no idea what the point of the action (the conflict itself) is even about. (most frequently vietnam stories). it's a theme from long long before internet. but modern IRL soldiers don't really have an excuse for that anymore except lack of desire to dig into it. i know. i was in for a four year hitch, and a lot of guys couldnt even express why they joined, let alone what was even happening when they deployed. they never watched the news, they never read the papers; that drove me nuts. if they paid any kind of attention to the world around them, or had the curiosity to develop opinions and an understanding, instead of how to waste their money on booze and strippers and spinning rims ( was in in the 90s), then they'd have their answers as to why. and it also comes, i've noticed, from artists not actually knowing any veterans, or not asking them about their lives and experiences and opinions, and just parroting things they've seen in movies. I don't know one way or another if that's A7X, I'm just saying. ive seen lots of interviews and docs and such where some artists have flat out said "i never knew anyone in the army, etc, then i wrote this song or made this movie and met so many people..."
@@JammersMetalMischief pretty sure a7x wrote this song about one of their friends that had come back from Iraq, and what he was going through at the time
Very nice reaction! This is an awesome song, portraying exactly what war feels like. However, there are soldiers going to war not knowing exactly what they are fighting against or why they are there. Unfortunately, there are still non-democratic countries on this planet :(. Young people just enroll and die for a country that doesn't give a shit about them. Sad, sad story.

Great reaction. I think Avenged Sevenfold got the inspiration for this song from two of their friends who was fighting in Afghanistan.

Love videos where people understand the music and the meaning behind the song instead of just reacting for the views.

If you haven’t heard Danger line from A7x then I think you’d like to take a look at that

To survive. And for what? That’s the point of the song big dog.
