James Owen 'The Rev' Sullivan is and always will be why I loved A7X at one time. Jimmy was so much more than one of the greatest drummers that has ever lived. He meant so much more to the music than just drumming. Plus, one of the finest human beings you could ever meet. Anyone that got to spend even five minutes with Jimmy, felt like they knew him forever. Now, some will say "oh no, here goes Michael again saying he no longer digs a band after a vital member of the band passes or leaves the band." Yes, it matters when a vital reason for a bands greatness leaves. I will never apologize for being honest when I say a band is like a puzzle...you lose some pieces of the puzzle and it can never be whole again. No one will ever again fully enjoy the creative art, the beautiful picture and pleasure that complete puzzle gives you. What? You gonna judge me now? You can't cuz you know you love me, and that I am right. Make Believe...Not War✌❤
Part of what makes the end of reactions bittersweet is that Yuliya didn't get to appreciate songs both written and sung by The Rev other than Critical Acclaim. She may not love M. Shadows, but Jimmy surely could've been a different story. That's where the magic lied, and the untouchable uniqueness. I hope the whole world gets to experience his gift at some point.
I think you should have more respect for his voice because with something that I forgot the name of but, its like a Olympic runner being told he can’t walk anymore, and he’s a baritone, and he rebuilt his voice and made it as great as he did, and I seriously doubt that most singers can do what he does
More respect it’s like I have some respect but in your opinion is not enough and I should try harder to choose the words that gonna be fake cuz covering the real truth? What’s the point? I don’t like the nasal voices, it’s nothing to do with respect, it’s personal taste.
This half of the song is mostly about the anger that a friend perceives in their close friend committing suicide and seemingly not thinking about them. As we know from Part 1, the metaphorical version of Justin Sane that succeeded was thinking about his friends the entire time and wanted them to carry on without him in the best way they could. He thought about them the entire time, and he felt bad, and he felt alone, and he worried about them, but when someone isn't able to communicate that, those around them aren't aware of how much they truly cared. They're thinking about how that person was selfish or pulled themselves out of their lives without even saying goodbye. They're not able to bring that person back, and rightfully, their grief is manifested as personal anger, not just at that person for taking their life, but for themselves not being able to stop them. It's something that I feel we as humans can all relate to in a huge way. Not liking M. Shadows' voice will always remain a constant in the metal community, because unlike people such as James Hetfield or Bruce Dickinson or Ronnie James Dio, he doesn't have that particular profile that can be immediately associated with what they find comfortable in metal. He's not someone with a universally-pleasant tone. There are people who say Axl Rose sounds like an angry cat, or Mike Patton is a cartoon character, or Ozzy Osbourne sounds like the archetype of a pretentious hippie. Dave Mustaine is probably the biggest example in metal of a vocalist that people either respect at a very high level or have a Dave disdaine for because his guitar-playing is so much more preferable to them. Avenged Sevenfold are one of the most popular bands in the world, but like other most popular bands in the world, they're a band that's popular because they stand out and fit differently into the world than other bands. They probably wouldn't be popular if M. Shadows wasn't their lead singer, because plenty of bands have virtuosos playing instruments and barely gain a few thousand fans. What they need as a band is to be polarizing and take people out of their comfort zone, drawing them in out of curiosity. Most dislike him early on until they adjust to him and find he's one of their favorites, because while a person could listen to other singers for specific styles, the other singers don't do several of them at once. When you have a dynamic mood, hearing a metalcore song, then a progressive rock song, then a country rock song, then an avant-garde operatic song is something that really appeals to a lot of people. Matt is also a principle songwriter of the band and brings guitar, piano, and orchestral arrangements to the table on every album, so separating him from Avenged Sevenfold is nearly impossible for people who find him the weakest link. Waking the Fallen was released in 2003, and M. Shadows hadn't had vocal lessons of any kind yet. His nasality was stylistically there when wanted, but what caused him damage leading up to needing surgery and vocal lessons in 2004 was singing and growling with his throat, the general bane of determined vocalists. He had a bleeding nodule removed from his vocal tissue through precision laser surgery. Luckily for anyone who enjoys the band, he was able to completely regain his range in 2005 with the more nasal technique, and he still had all of it leading up to the band's last record in 2016 while guys like Phil Anselmo and James Hetfield faced actual blowouts in the '90s due to substance abuse and poor technique and lost most of their upper range within the first 10 years of their career. Avenged Sevenfold have never tuned down a step at concerts because M. Shadows has never needed the notes lower, which is largely uncommon in the genre when a band is 15+ years into their career. Avenged Sevenfold have always worn their influences on their sleeve, and have never hidden what they like to listen to in any genre, and you can hear all of it in their records, from Faith No More to Lynyrd Skynyrd to Opeth to Soundgarden. What people often miss is that bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica have equally obvious influences, if you've heard Rainbow, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, UFO, Wishbone Ash, Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Diamond Head, or Mercyful Fate. Pantera were influenced by KISS, Van Halen, Exhorder, Venom, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Napalm Death, and none of them are any less apparent when viewed under a microscope with the realization that the majority of bands are derivative. Newer bands are given harsher criticism because more music came before them and their influences happen to be the bands that can more easily be looked up than bands that faded away before the internet. No one views you as a plagiarist if they're not familiar with what you're influenced by, and that's just how the world works. While it may not be in everyone's interest to hear a versatile band and they might want to support a few dozen other bands, there's really nothing stopping them from just hearing whatever suits them, because by the time a popular band stops doing the style they're known for, people will wish there were more songs in that style. Pantera broke up, Iron Maiden became a lot more progressive, Metallica stopped putting out thrash metal, Pink Floyd changed lineups and went long periods without releasing anything, Guns N' Roses became a travelling circus act, hardcore punk wasn't heavy enough, people stopped playing intricate guitar solos, and Avenged Sevenfold filled the gap in every single way possible without being mistaken for another band. They're significant, whether anyone recognizes it or not. As the end of IYOU reacting closes in, this has been an interesting journey. It's always been fun hearing your take on what these bands offer you personally, and how they make you feel, whether it was always positive. You've put out really great videos for all of these artists, and I'm glad to have been along for this ride. I hope your other content gains the traction it deserves, because I'm excited to see you progress and succeed. You're one of the cool ones, Yuliya. I'm glad to be here. 🥰💙
This comment deserves to be in music magazine like guitar or The Rolling Stones, are you really just wrote it for the comment?! Wow! Very informative interesting with facts and supportive arguments to your personal opinion. Very clear why are you adore this band so much. 🧡
I know, when we love somebody it’s just so so important and inspirational for us. But also we could be guarded in a way. I felt this way when you said about Pink Floyd stopped release the albums, or Pantera broke up… but in facts you are right. The thing for me is - nothing is matter when it comes to true love. You can love a band which not exist anymore with a dirty history and not perfect discography … but you just love a songs which goes inside and nothing else matters. And look how passionate are you about A7X , I hope I’ll do that album with Bowie, and hope they are not gonna block)
@@IYOU it's even harder when someone dies and the art has to come to an end. Obviously Avenged Sevenfold chose to keep going after The Rev passed, but there are so many bands and artists that have tragically been lost to time and left us listening to their music retroactively. Dimebag Darrell is one musician who passed, and unfortunately the bands he was in are bands we can only listen to from so long ago. Pantera and Damageplan are classic, and I think people would have wanted them to continue, but Darrell was such a big part of what they did that they just couldn't. Bands like Nirvana and Sublime had to end because there wasn't a way to keep their magic alive with anyone else. We love them just the same, though everything feels incomplete in a way. I don't feel that so much with David Bowie, but what I do feel is the curiosity for what he could've done next. He has a very complete discography with most kinds of music I could ever imagine, but when someone plans on death and it doesn't happen for 40 years, they have so much work in front of them. 40 years worth of music that they never thought they'd make because of how excessive their life was. He kept pushing music forward just to try something different, and ended up changing everything in the way no others could. I don't think anyone could adequately replicate him, though. Thousands of people have tried sounding like him and never pulled it off completely, even if the '80s that was influenced by him is what many would consider a golden era. If he had 20 years left, there was still more, and we as listeners never know about the inevitablities we never get to experience because of things like breaking up or slowing down or facing mortality. I think Bowie is someone you'll love in time. He's probably one of the most accessible artists for reactions, and I've seen people get away with using as many as 40 songs of his without copyright issues. Even music videos seem easy to do, aside from the rare ones. That said, very few people have the time to hear enough of him to understand him. 400 songs, 28 albums, a bunch that aren't on the records, at least 40 styles between them. I've talked to a few completionists online. Most people like him a lot within 3 or 4 songs. He becomes a favorite for some within 10. He's basically the greatest artist ever by the time they've heard 20. Getting over the milestones and listening to hundreds and liking most of them, then all of them on relistens, is the most exhilarating feeling I think someone can get from an artist. I'm not totally sure what songs or eras you'd like most, but you'd end up on some very fun music either way. Me? I most prefer his Scary Monsters, Diamond Dogs, and Aladdin Sane records. They're very intellectual and cinematic, while the Young Americans song I had you hear before was a sexier one with more direct lyrics. In hindsight, I could've started you off with one of my favorites, but the INXS song before had me vibing. 😅 In short, he was lovely. His voice was always different, his lyrics are really meaningful, he could arrange things like no one else, he had the best musicians on his records, his work ethic was incredible, and he was a single dad who did cocaine in high heels while partially blind in one eye. That's really what gets me. 😏
Don't Forget the Reaction of This Whitesnake songs: Crying In The Rain Here I Go Again Is This Love Looking For Love Don't Turn Away Straight For The Heart Give Me All Your Love Bad Boys You're Gonna Break My Heart Again Children Of The Night Standing In The Shadow 1987
the harsh vocals and gritty production really fit the style of the song in my opinion but i understand you not liking Matt's voice, his sound is something you either love or hate, and a lot of people, such as yourself, love the band but don't like the vocals but i think we can all at least agree that he's good at what he does, at this point in time he's had years and years of training and experience and has amazing control of his voice and great harmonizing, but of course, there's his signature nasally tone that you either don't like or you eventually love, glad you gave it a listen
There is still hope for you, mountain lion women, I won't give up. You need to listen to live versions to hear his voice! God Hates Us - Rock am Ring 2011 Or Roman Sky - Live at the Grammy Museum You have listened to many songs from "Waking the fallen" 2003, things have evolved after that.
Yes m shadows trained a lot... he had some vocal issue due too much scream in earlier time without any vocal coach... even they cancel their last tour and continue too make new records until now...
I’ve done like 10 videos dedicated to A7X , honestly, it could be some wow effect and show values, but at the end of the day - I would rather listen Iron Maiden, Pantera, Pink Floyd, Megadeth or Other bands that A7X honestly seems like copying. It’s not a bad thing maybe, and technicality of the band on a high level, but BUT BUT GENUINE ART is when you write not like (others already done it), and not because the topic gonna show off your intelligence and it’s a global issue, But because it’s really inside you, it’s showing you naked.
Maybe you've taken me being Australian and taking the piss over a few videos as offensive and if so, I apologise but its only meant in jest. Love what ya doing.
No, on my channel - INVISIBLE is the best video in the world) and because you was so so wrong - you deserve punishment even worse than I planned before, but you still have you time until I will create it, and maybe a chance to watch the best video and be babycake!
It's pretty much a copycat effort of Suicide Note Pt 2 at the first especially. I assume it's a homage since they are big fans of Pantera. When I saw them live they were with Hell Yeah, Vinnie's band, so I assume he didn't have a problem with it. They don't really have the musical chops of Pantera though, either musically or vocally. If I could sing I would probably pay homage to Pantera as well but the world will never have to worry about that!
Whatever anybody think about Phil, his voice is in my top 3. I’m in love with his voice, it’s a power there and dominating energy with confidence and strength aaaaaaa)) Today I decided to stop with reactions, and now I thought- but what about - vulgar display of power, and what a name huh what a… it’s good that Phil is oldie now, it’s very very good for my marriage )))
Vulgar Display is probably my favorite album of all time in any genre! I love all their albums though. Your love of Phil means it was destiny we become friends!
The only thing I'd argue with on this is the part where Avenged Sevenfold don't have the musical chops of Pantera. Chops are strictly technical skill, and the guitar work on both parts of Suicide Note is substantially easier than on either part of this song. Dimebag's only lessons were practicing KISS songs and learning country guitar. He took everything from there. Synyster Gates studied jazz and classical guitar at the College of Contemporary Music (Musicians Institute) in Los Angeles. The Rev was playing Primus and Mr. Bungle songs on drums at 10 years old. Rex wasn't a very complex player at all, not that Johnny Christ is the world's best bassist, but still. When it comes to Phil and M. Shadows, we have to wonder how good his technique actually was considering he was only able to keep it up for a few years before losing his clean tone. Both vocalists were boneheaded in their approach, but Phil was never able to recover. He can't sing most of his old material, and it's not because of his age.
I like Part 2 more than Part 1, primarily because of the guitar riff that I really like at the beginning of the song and in various parts throughout the song. Judging by your facial expressions, though, I'm guessing you might be feeling differently? 😂 I think I like it because it does have a similar sound to Pantera, and I adore Pantera, but that makes your point very valid. You feel like they're not really being very original with their concept or their sound here. Maybe you just feel like Pantera did it better with their version? It would be hard for me to disagree -- as I reference again my true love for Pantera. In Part 1 of this song by Avenged Sevenfold, I liked the chorus better, because it was more intense and just had more passion. In Part 2, I like the verses better. The common theme between both parts for me is that I tend to think that the guitar work is the strongest part of the song. I know from previous comments from others that the singer had surgery on his vocal cords, so I'm not trying to put him down as a singer at all, I'm just being honest about my own personal favorite parts. 3:13 Your facial expression as he goes into that scream! 😆 I enjoy your videos so much because you're always honest, even if you fear fans of a certain band or song will be mad at you for it, and I don't think you could hide your true feelings if you tried! And that is one of the things we adore about you. 💚 3:49 Did he swallow a dead rat right there? That may seem like a random thing to say, and it may also seem mean-spirited, but that's what went through my mind as I heard. It's what I imagine a person would sound like if they swallowed a dead rat and suddenly realized what had happened. (If they're going to hate you, they can REALLY hate me; I'll take a bit of that heat.) #Self-sacrifice #WhatFriendsDo 4:08 I do like the guitar part that follows shortly thereafter, though. Not so crazy about it as the second guitar comes in over it. I'll just add in my standard disclaimer here that music is subjective. (Please don't hate me TOO MUCH, A7X fans; I'm sure I have favorite songs that you would despise...) 5:32 Such honesty is refreshing ("I don't like his voice"), and I agree. Many will disagree with that, and that's okay, it really is. (Please see standard disclaimer above.) 7:14 You're not the only one. The timbre, the smoothness of the transitions. Yes, that's it exactly, and your assessment is fair. 7:51 to 7:56 😄😂 8:35 - 8:45 The guitar part sounds a lot like Pantera here, but the singer is no Phil Anselmo. 9:13 Another dead rat? Please, somebody call a pest control business already. 9:35 "If you're still here after when I've been poopy about his voice." 😂 (And I'm watching this all the way through the end, yeeeess...) I can't imagine anyone actually hating you, I think you expressed your thoughts on this song very well and that they are valid. I personally agree with what you said, and also what you wrote in your video description. And I'm still mad at TH-cam for blocking your Iron Maiden video. 👿 Have you no heart, TH-cam? Have you no shame? Do you believe in shame? th-cam.com/video/n_Io3CtmdoQ/w-d-xo.html (I'll bet you didn't expect a comment on an Avenged Sevenfold video to end with a reference to Duran Duran? Let's see what you think about THAT, TH-cam algorithms!)
Im very mixed with A7X songs to, my favorites from them would proberly be Acid Rain, and Save Me.. Acid Rain i think got really good vocals if you didnt react to that one yet, this could be the one, where you like the voice.. actually i think you only reacted to 1 song i would put on my top shelf A7X songs so far..
Part 2 is "poopy" as well as first part. A7X is just not my brand if metal.But you're still adorable suffering through all that noise.Maybe Godsmack one day if you dtill do reviews. Takr care Yuliya!
It s the third day TH-cam deleted my comment that i left and wrote as first comment 8 hours ago !!! .... i dont know what happens from this Monday on youtube ...but i am going mad with TH-cam on comments deleted ((( I honestly skipped this further and hopefully last reaction to Avenged 7 Fold , a group i cant stand anymore , but i totally agree in Minute 7:00 ,about Britney spears 's vocals singing it depends on the way your soul and mind receive a type of voice and image creating related to that voice . Basically Britney isn't a talented singer at all , but her voice is unique recognizable as sexy and catchy uniqur of her own and no one else . So Every Artist may be the best for his crowd , numbers make the difference and mean something but not everything Anyway i love Yulia to moon and back but i hope this the very last reaction to Avenged 7 Fold )
It's like we said last time, except Pantera instead of Maiden. It seems like they are like a band put together by a record company to do music that sounds like other popular bands. Which is not a bad idea, it will make money, it just lacks originality. Thanks Yu!
The actual truth is that they were a hardcore punk band in the beginning and signed with a Belgian label called Good Life Recordings for their first album, having only a few hundred dollars to work with, which their manager Val (M. Shadows' future wife) borrowed from her parents. It was horrifically mixed and they don't generally acknowledge it. They played gigs constantly for about a year and got an opportunity to sign with Hopeless Records, who were mainly looking for energetic bands that brought good energy to the table. They were unhappy with the hardcore punk scene they were brought up in because no one in it was allowed to be inspired by anything other than what elitists viewed as credible. Absolutely nothing about their early days was corporate. They had grown up with a lot of classic rock and heavy metal bands and wanted to move away from simplistic club music, so they phased in qualities from the arena bands they grew up on, making the metalcore style noticeably more prominent. They got Synyster Gates to join the band in 2002 because he was in an avant-garde metal band called Pinkly Smooth with The Rev, and they were invited to play the Vans Warped Tour in 2003. Warner Brothers sent them a record deal around the time Waking the Fallen was out purely because they saw the traction that Avenged Sevenfold were gaining, and when Avenged Sevenfold got big on MTV, it was because their Unholy Confessions music video was played on Headbanger's Ball and Bat Country got heavy fan requests on TRL. They were still practicing in their garage after City of Evil came out, not making a ton of money until they toured with Metallica in 2006. Conversely, Pantera were a glam metal band with stage names like Diamond Darrell and really tight pants so they could fit into a scene, and voted Terry Glaze out as vocalist because they knew glam metal was losing popularity. They hired Phil Anselmo so they could play Judas Priest and Exhorder-borrowed songs unapologetically, before developing the groove metal style they're known for. Pantera fans try to pretend it didn't happen, but it did. Reinventing the Steel was released because of a label obligation, and Phil was more enthusiastic about his work with Down. History is more than what any of us make of it. These bands have incredibly dense backgrounds, and our perspective of their music is often different from how or why it was written.
Death metal is more my style ( Obituary , Death , Celtic Frost ) . The musicians are much better...to me anyway and double kick drummers get boring fast .
If u don't like him don't listen to his song better u not reaction on videos. We don't need any fool women who say like this m.shadows. Mind your word before talking alll fans of A7x don't see to his video

A7X the best band
A7X say that Pantera was one of their inspirations and they have a cover of Pantera's "Walk" ;)

I don't feel that so much with David Bowie, but what I do feel is the curiosity for what he could've done next. He has a very complete discography with most kinds of music I could ever imagine, but when someone plans on death and it doesn't happen for 40 years, they have so much work in front of them. 40 years worth of music that they never thought they'd make because of how excessive their life was. He kept pushing music forward just to try something different, and ended up changing everything in the way no others could. I don't think anyone could adequately replicate him, though. Thousands of people have tried sounding like him and never pulled it off completely, even if the '80s that was influenced by him is what many would consider a golden era. If he had 20 years left, there was still more, and we as listeners never know about the inevitablities we never get to experience because of things like breaking up or slowing down or facing mortality.
I think Bowie is someone you'll love in time. He's probably one of the most accessible artists for reactions, and I've seen people get away with using as many as 40 songs of his without copyright issues. Even music videos seem easy to do, aside from the rare ones. That said, very few people have the time to hear enough of him to understand him. 400 songs, 28 albums, a bunch that aren't on the records, at least 40 styles between them. I've talked to a few completionists online. Most people like him a lot within 3 or 4 songs. He becomes a favorite for some within 10. He's basically the greatest artist ever by the time they've heard 20. Getting over the milestones and listening to hundreds and liking most of them, then all of them on relistens, is the most exhilarating feeling I think someone can get from an artist. I'm not totally sure what songs or eras you'd like most, but you'd end up on some very fun music either way. Me? I most prefer his Scary Monsters, Diamond Dogs, and Aladdin Sane records. They're very intellectual and cinematic, while the Young Americans song I had you hear before was a sexier one with more direct lyrics. In hindsight, I could've started you off with one of my favorites, but the INXS song before had me vibing. 😅
In short, he was lovely. His voice was always different, his lyrics are really meaningful, he could arrange things like no one else, he had the best musicians on his records, his work ethic was incredible, and he was a single dad who did cocaine in high heels while partially blind in one eye. That's really what gets me. 😏
Avenged sevenfold is my favorite band, I believe his voice is very polarizing either love or hate it

the harsh vocals and gritty production really fit the style of the song in my opinion but i understand you not liking Matt's voice, his sound is something you either love or hate, and a lot of people, such as yourself, love the band but don't like the vocals but i think we can all at least agree that he's good at what he does, at this point in time he's had years and years of training and experience and has amazing control of his voice and great harmonizing, but of course, there's his signature nasally tone that you either don't like or you eventually love, glad you gave it a listen
Yes, we all agree with that 🧠
Mmmm react "dancing dead" of Avenged maybe you like it 👋🏼🇲🇽♥️
There is still hope for you, mountain lion women, I won't give up. You need to listen to live versions to hear his voice!

You have listened to many songs from "Waking the fallen" 2003, things have evolved after that.
Dear IYOU . . Please Reaction A7X - Second Heartbeat .. Please 😁
Can u do A7x 4am next...I only like pt. 1
i don't like thiat song in particular, but i hope u can react to Angels from avenged sevenfold
Вау 😯
Yes m shadows trained a lot... he had some vocal issue due too much scream in earlier time without any vocal coach... even they cancel their last tour and continue too make new records until now...
Hahahaha
Excellent.
I’ve done like 10 videos dedicated to A7X , honestly, it could be some wow effect and show values, but at the end of the day - I would rather listen Iron Maiden, Pantera, Pink Floyd, Megadeth or Other bands that A7X honestly seems like copying. It’s not a bad thing maybe, and technicality of the band on a high level, but BUT BUT
GENUINE ART is when you write not like (others already done it), and not because the topic gonna show off your intelligence and it’s a global issue,
But because it’s really inside you, it’s showing you naked.
So now, you can hate me.
@@IYOU Haha woooahhh ease up. Every single band you just mentioned I love. I also appreciate your sentiment afterwards. No hate here.
Maybe you've taken me being Australian and taking the piss over a few videos as offensive and if so, I apologise but its only meant in jest. Love what ya doing.
I love you and I love your New haircut
: )
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO IN THE WORLD! 🙂
(please don't block me as a punishment 😉 )
Much Love 💙💛💙💛
No, on my channel - INVISIBLE is the best video in the world) and because you was so so wrong - you deserve punishment even worse than I planned before, but you still have you time until I will create it, and maybe a chance to watch the best video and be babycake!
@@IYOU .......ok , I will look at video tomorrow. Now, sleep 💤💤💤
You are a very powerful woman!
Good Night 🌙
It's pretty much a copycat effort of Suicide Note Pt 2 at the first especially. I assume it's a homage since they are big fans of Pantera. When I saw them live they were with Hell Yeah, Vinnie's band, so I assume he didn't have a problem with it. They don't really have the musical chops of Pantera though, either musically or vocally. If I could sing I would probably pay homage to Pantera as well but the world will never have to worry about that!
Whatever anybody think about Phil, his voice is in my top 3. I’m in love with his voice, it’s a power there and dominating energy with confidence and strength aaaaaaa))
Today I decided to stop with reactions, and now I thought- but what about - vulgar display of power, and what a name huh what a… it’s good that Phil is oldie now, it’s very very good for my marriage )))
Vulgar Display is probably my favorite album of all time in any genre! I love all their albums though. Your love of Phil means it was destiny we become friends!
The only thing I'd argue with on this is the part where Avenged Sevenfold don't have the musical chops of Pantera. Chops are strictly technical skill, and the guitar work on both parts of Suicide Note is substantially easier than on either part of this song. Dimebag's only lessons were practicing KISS songs and learning country guitar. He took everything from there. Synyster Gates studied jazz and classical guitar at the College of Contemporary Music (Musicians Institute) in Los Angeles. The Rev was playing Primus and Mr. Bungle songs on drums at 10 years old. Rex wasn't a very complex player at all, not that Johnny Christ is the world's best bassist, but still. When it comes to Phil and M. Shadows, we have to wonder how good his technique actually was considering he was only able to keep it up for a few years before losing his clean tone. Both vocalists were boneheaded in their approach, but Phil was never able to recover. He can't sing most of his old material, and it's not because of his age.
I like Part 2 more than Part 1, primarily because of the guitar riff that I really like at the beginning of the song and in various parts throughout the song. Judging by your facial expressions, though, I'm guessing you might be feeling differently? 😂
I think I like it because it does have a similar sound to Pantera, and I adore Pantera, but that makes your point very valid. You feel like they're not really being very original with their concept or their sound here. Maybe you just feel like Pantera did it better with their version? It would be hard for me to disagree -- as I reference again my true love for Pantera.
In Part 1 of this song by Avenged Sevenfold, I liked the chorus better, because it was more intense and just had more passion. In Part 2, I like the verses better. The common theme between both parts for me is that I tend to think that the guitar work is the strongest part of the song. I know from previous comments from others that the singer had surgery on his vocal cords, so I'm not trying to put him down as a singer at all, I'm just being honest about my own personal favorite parts.
3:13
Your facial expression as he goes into that scream! 😆
I enjoy your videos so much because you're always honest, even if you fear fans of a certain band or song will be mad at you for it, and I don't think you could hide your true feelings if you tried! And that is one of the things we adore about you. 💚

Did he swallow a dead rat right there? That may seem like a random thing to say, and it may also seem mean-spirited, but that's what went through my mind as I heard. It's what I imagine a person would sound like if they swallowed a dead rat and suddenly realized what had happened. (If they're going to hate you, they can REALLY hate me; I'll take a bit of that heat.)

I do like the guitar part that follows shortly thereafter, though. Not so crazy about it as the second guitar comes in over it.
I'll just add in my standard disclaimer here that music is subjective. (Please don't hate me TOO MUCH, A7X fans; I'm sure I have favorite songs that you would despise...)
5:32
Such honesty is refreshing ("I don't like his voice"), and I agree. Many will disagree with that, and that's okay, it really is. (Please see standard disclaimer above.)
7:14
You're not the only one.
The timbre, the smoothness of the transitions. Yes, that's it exactly, and your assessment is fair.
7:51 to 7:56
😄😂
8:35 - 8:45
The guitar part sounds a lot like Pantera here, but the singer is no Phil Anselmo.
9:13
Another dead rat? Please, somebody call a pest control business already.
9:35
"If you're still here after when I've been poopy about his voice." 😂
(And I'm watching this all the way through the end, yeeeess...)
I can't imagine anyone actually hating you, I think you expressed your thoughts on this song very well and that they are valid. I personally agree with what you said, and also what you wrote in your video description. And I'm still mad at TH-cam for blocking your Iron Maiden video. 👿
Have you no heart, TH-cam? Have you no shame?
Do you believe in shame?

(I'll bet you didn't expect a comment on an Avenged Sevenfold video to end with a reference to Duran Duran? Let's see what you think about THAT, TH-cam algorithms!)
🧡❤️💚💜💛😂😂😂
Im very mixed with A7X songs to, my favorites from them would proberly be Acid Rain, and Save Me.. Acid Rain i think got really good vocals if you didnt react to that one yet, this could be the one, where you like the voice.. actually i think you only reacted to 1 song i would put on my top shelf A7X songs so far..
Хэй, ансвеар ми ин инста директ...(
Part 2 is "poopy" as well as first part. A7X is just not my brand if metal.But you're still adorable suffering through all that noise.Maybe Godsmack one day if you dtill do reviews. Takr care Yuliya!
I'm sorry I went back in catalog and saw you did Godsmack "Under Your Scars"
I frickin love part 2
It s the third day TH-cam deleted my comment that i left and wrote as first comment 8 hours ago !!! .... i dont know what happens from this Monday on youtube ...but i am going mad with TH-cam on comments deleted (((
I honestly skipped this further and hopefully last reaction to Avenged 7 Fold , a group i cant stand anymore , but i totally agree in Minute 7:00 ,about Britney spears 's vocals singing it depends on the way your soul and mind receive a type of voice and image creating related to that voice .
Basically Britney isn't a talented singer at all , but her voice is unique recognizable as sexy and catchy uniqur of her own and no one else .
So Every Artist may be the best for his crowd , numbers make the difference and mean something but not everything
Anyway i love Yulia to moon and back but i hope this the very last reaction to Avenged 7 Fold )
It's like we said last time, except Pantera instead of Maiden. It seems like they are like a band put together by a record company to do music that sounds like other popular bands. Which is not a bad idea, it will make money, it just lacks originality. Thanks Yu!
The actual truth is that they were a hardcore punk band in the beginning and signed with a Belgian label called Good Life Recordings for their first album, having only a few hundred dollars to work with, which their manager Val (M. Shadows' future wife) borrowed from her parents. It was horrifically mixed and they don't generally acknowledge it. They played gigs constantly for about a year and got an opportunity to sign with Hopeless Records, who were mainly looking for energetic bands that brought good energy to the table. They were unhappy with the hardcore punk scene they were brought up in because no one in it was allowed to be inspired by anything other than what elitists viewed as credible. Absolutely nothing about their early days was corporate. They had grown up with a lot of classic rock and heavy metal bands and wanted to move away from simplistic club music, so they phased in qualities from the arena bands they grew up on, making the metalcore style noticeably more prominent. They got Synyster Gates to join the band in 2002 because he was in an avant-garde metal band called Pinkly Smooth with The Rev, and they were invited to play the Vans Warped Tour in 2003. Warner Brothers sent them a record deal around the time Waking the Fallen was out purely because they saw the traction that Avenged Sevenfold were gaining, and when Avenged Sevenfold got big on MTV, it was because their Unholy Confessions music video was played on Headbanger's Ball and Bat Country got heavy fan requests on TRL. They were still practicing in their garage after City of Evil came out, not making a ton of money until they toured with Metallica in 2006.
Conversely, Pantera were a glam metal band with stage names like Diamond Darrell and really tight pants so they could fit into a scene, and voted Terry Glaze out as vocalist because they knew glam metal was losing popularity. They hired Phil Anselmo so they could play Judas Priest and Exhorder-borrowed songs unapologetically, before developing the groove metal style they're known for. Pantera fans try to pretend it didn't happen, but it did. Reinventing the Steel was released because of a label obligation, and Phil was more enthusiastic about his work with Down. History is more than what any of us make of it. These bands have incredibly dense backgrounds, and our perspective of their music is often different from how or why it was written.
Never really gave them much thought. Kind of lumped in with the Mall Rock scene. Did not catch a vibe off of this track so I agree with Yulia.
Death metal is more my style ( Obituary , Death , Celtic Frost ) . The musicians are much better...to me anyway and double kick drummers get boring fast .
If u don't like him don't listen to his song better u not reaction on videos. We don't need any fool women who say like this m.shadows. Mind your word before talking alll fans of A7x don't see to his video
