Please react to this live performance of The Stage by A7X 😍 the best live performance I've seen by them, EVER!!! th-cam.com/video/dgzvl_Oa0w8/w-d-xo.html
I like the lyrics in his song. It starts with a soldier explaining the setting, and why he is at war. Then he harkens back to public opinion. Many times it is against soldiers, it is against guys like him. But he believes he is doing the right thing and will fight to the death for his family and his country. Then the situation changes. He is shot and knows that he is dying, so you see his thought process in his last moments of life. He thinks of God and eternity. Then, he thinks of his family, his girl and his wife. Finally, he knows with his death, his sinning has come to an end. He asks the Lord to leave his light on. And then that beautiful guitar you talked about, Gibby, comes in, to signify that he has been forgiven and is heading to Heaven. I just think it is a great subject that is covered very well and very inspirationally.
Think it goes little bit further than that, I believe the soldier committed suicide. Reason being, "Never meant to leave this world alone, I never meant to hurt the ones who care." Dude eventually lost it, and everyone in the process, and took his own life. Just my thoughts as an OEF combat vet.
When he says "I'm free" and it goes into the solo, I never got goosebumps from a song until that.. god bless all of our troops who lost their lives, god bless all who served or are serving, and god bless america!
Top 10 a7x songs for me: 10.) Welcome to the Family 9.) Critical Acclaim 8.) Trashed and Scattered 7.) A Little Piece of Heaven 6.) God Hates Us 5.) Chapter Four 4.) Nightmare 3.) Afterlife 2.) Second Heartbeat 1.) The Stage
you have a good taste in A7X. may I suggest some of their lesser known songs I think you'd love? 1. The Fight 2. Crossroads 3. Tension 4. 4 am these are mostly "bonus tracks" and they happen to be some of the best ones I have ever heard. the drum part for Tension is the ONLY reason I play drums today. I heard it and said "I wanna be able to do that! " Jimmy was a freaking genius....
PLEASE DO VICTIM! Story of Nightmare Album- Syn’s Grandfather has passed and he wanted to tribute an album to him and while through recording the album, the rev and succumbed to his battle of addiction and now Syn had lost his childhood best friend. Trying to cope with depression the band knew the best move is to finish strong because that’s what they want! The songs Save Me and Fiction were the last two the Rev was working on and shows the powerful message the band had for us when releasing the album!
Ram I took it as he was addicted to opioids because the band also admitted it. And with the lyrics you’re talking about I took it as Jimmy said he knew he was addicted and that’s how he would be taking himself out! But I respect your view, I posted the comment more for the story of Syn and Matt writing the album. Much love brother!
Ram I guess you’re right! Fiction was very strong and it very clear that it was all about the end. I’m not trying to argue, I’m simply here to encourage Gibby to expand more on the value of the music rather than the top songs. That’s all! All but respect for you Ram and thank you for sharing some new perspectives on the bands history!
@Ram Some say Fiction was his suicide note, but then others say it isn't, we'll never know the real truth behind it, we won't know that information behind all of it, we need to respect the band and no one should ask that information.
Some of my favorites are Paradigm, Planets, Requiem, Tension, Mad Hatter, Victim, God Damn, Gunslinger, Almost Easy, Nightmare, Dancing Dead, Welcome to the Family, and Shepherd of Fire.
Gaunter O’Dimm I just meant the album as a whole. City of Evil was a great album too and what started me down my path into metalcore. Hail to the King was not my cup of tea though. That album is my least favorite.
ODST Cody oh, alright. For me HTTK was a mixed emotions kinda album. There are some song I really dig and some that were meh. CoE tho... one of the greatest albums out there in general. Back in the day I listened to it religiously when I was in the last year of elementary. This was the album that got me into more aggressive rock/metal.
There is a Avenged Sevenfold song I sometimes had requested on a radiostation in their driving home from work consept. I've never heard it there. The song name is Tension. I can really understand what the song is all about. Working hard, working late, no peace at home... but there is that moment on the road, driving, relaxing.
I love A7X. My favorites are as follows: Nightmare, Afterlife, I Won't See You Tonight, Warmness On the Soul, Buried Alive, Brompton Cocktail, So Far Away, A Little Piece of Heaven, Welcome to the Family, Save Me, Gunslinger, Critical Acclaim, Dear God, Beast and the Harlot, Seize the Day, Almost Easy, God Hates Us, Tonight the World Dies, Fiction, Natural Born Killer, and Second Heartbeat. Some newer ones you can check out are Mad Hatter and their remakes of I Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd) and Runaway (Del Shannon)
WELCOME BACK, GIBBZ! 🤘🔥🍻 lol been a while indeed still gotta do "City of Evil" staples: Sidewinder, Strength of the World, The Wicked End, Blinded in Chains, Trashed & Scattered
By some miracle you'll see this, the correct way to salute with a hat on is to touch the brim of the hat with your fingers; instead of touching your head directly.
My fav Avenged Sevenfold songs have to be.......Warmness on the soul, Reminissions, Brompton Cocktail, So Far Away, 4 a.m., The fight, until the end, not ready to die, carry on.....man....i like all their songs. They really don't have any bad songs 💯
You’ve done my favourite song by Avenged Sevenfold- Second Heartbeat but they have sooooo many great songs to listen to I haven’t heard one bad song from them
not sure if you heard these ones but The Wicked End Betrayed Trashed and Scattered Blinded in Chains I Wont See You Tonight Part 1 I Wont See You Tonight Part 2 Radiant Eclipse And All Things Will End Warmness on the Soul Paradigm Creating God Sunny Disposition Mad Hatter Not Ready To Die yeeeeeeah and maybe a few from the Diamond in the Rough album
Love your reactions! Gibby can you please put A7X Fermi Paradox in your list its one of my favorite songs of The Stage album they decided to go Progressive Metal its so good. Synyster Gates (lead guitar) went off on this track I really think youll appreciate it. Thanks again for the wonderful reactions
Loved this album from the get go, but for me it's special cos I played it traveling from home (Leicester) to the peak District, England So beautiful driving through the scenery/ hills to the Guitar ryths, instrumentals and shadows voice ❤️❤️ For me, a7x- the stage has got to be up towards the top of My faves, theres just so many I can't choose a number 1 #dgibby your reactions are on point!
Do “Shattered by Broken Dreams” that is my VERY FAVORITE song by them! It is off their first album which is bit rough around the edges but that’s what I love about it!!❤️🤘🏻❤️
@@machaelasmith3606 nobody appreciates that album but its good! And shattered kinda show cased early on what they were capable of in writing epic masterpieces
Bobby Cortez I definitely agree! It is honestly my favorite album of theirs and idk if it was just because growing up I only had that album and the only time I could listen to their other stuff was when I went to my Dad’s and got internet but god is it pure gold!🤘🏻🔥
@@machaelasmith3606 i prefer waking the fallen the most but hell yes! Love the rawness, love metal core :-) Its a shame they never do any of the tracks live.
it's called sweep picking, often they include tapping notes. it's one of the hardest things in guitar and the more strings u use, the more complex. i can play with 3 strings only XD
the complexity is based on the absolute control about tone and semi-mute the strings along with the absolute precision of not tap the strings that are needed to sound. sorry for my english im from barcelona

Right I mean the live version is amazing.

“Natural Born Killer” by A7X off the same album... DO IT!!!!🤘
Can't thumbs up enough!
5:38 My exact reaction when I first heard this song
I definitely shed a tear when he said remind the Lord to leave a light on for me... especially when he said I'm free it's so powerful.
For real. 😭
Well if you’re gonna do Danger Line, May as well do Gunslinger, another song dedicated to our great military!

You gotta add Almost Easy
@@detectiveshortmen2212 Just did
I won't see you tonight and Tonight the world dies
One of my favorites by them. Nothing tops Waking the Fallen though. 🤘🏻
ODST Cody uhm, yes but actually no. Blinded in Chains, Beast and the Harlot, Hail to the King just to name a bunch.

jib wog I do respect other people’s opinions. I am not trying to make him change his opinion, I just voice my own, that’s about it.
I Won't See You Tonight Part 1 is definitely my favorite. M.I.A, Strength of the World, Exist, and Save Me are amazing too!
Thank u so much for listening to my favorite of all time band
Absolutely love this song, something about it just hits me hard.

The solo after he says I’m free it makes me cry because my dad never came home after a war and I miss him 😔😭
The M16 service rifle. "My 16"
6:33 yeah brother it is beautiful😍😍😍😍😍
"my conservatives" lmao I love that... 🤣
I love A7X.

Strongly recommend “critical acclaim” or “planets”
I'm so glad a great reactor like devin likes my favorite band 👍
Amazing as always bro 🔥🔥🔥
Mad respect man. Been watching your reactions for a while and I love everything you stand for. Keep it 💯
Probably the saddest solo that synyster gates has done next to so far away
WELCOME BACK, GIBBZ! 🤘🔥🍻 lol been a while indeed
still gotta do "City of Evil" staples: Sidewinder, Strength of the World, The Wicked End, Blinded in Chains, Trashed & Scattered
Absolutely beautiful music.
the whole song is about a soldier dying of a fatal bulletwound and in the end before synyster gates`solo, hes dying and the transition is pure magic
last line "im free" im dying" solo is spot on perfect
You should check out any songs from A7X's FIRST album "Sounding The Seventh Trumpet" 🎺
The only song I like from that album is Warmness On The Soul, but I'd whatch him reacting to it.
Reaction yang sangat ekspresif keren bro...from indonesia
React to Brompton Cocktail, but with the lyrics, and really pay attention to said lyrics
Yes one of their best! 🤘
God bless our American Troops that fought the wars for our freedom!! Thank you to those who made America a better place🇺🇸
New favorite track WE LOVE YOU
i love your reaction man❤️❤️❤️💫
You should check out Avenged Sevenfold- Retrovertigo music video
th-cam.com/video/fSOQqAkie2U/w-d-xo.html
It just kind of bugs me a little that the reaction to the sound is oblivious to what the lyrics are saying....
By some miracle you'll see this, the correct way to salute with a hat on is to touch the brim of the hat with your fingers; instead of touching your head directly.
Facts. Been a fan of A7X for a long time. I prefer the older stuff, as with most artists, but can't pick a favorite song. They're all good
yeah , almost a7x is my favorite song
This really does put a smile on my face
Blinded in chains is the song that got me into THE REV.
PLZ PL PLZ PLZ PLZ LISTEN TO IT
#GIBBYGANG
M16 yes
I personally love the solo and it's my favorite solo to play as it fits perfectly in the song and is well written by syn
This solo is heavily inspired by slashs slow melodic solos.
My fav Avenged Sevenfold songs have to be.......Warmness on the soul, Reminissions, Brompton Cocktail, So Far Away, 4 a.m., The fight, until the end, not ready to die, carry on.....man....i like all their songs. They really don't have any bad songs 💯
Avenged sevenfold Mad hatter
That instrument you hear is Syn Gates tearing up some harmony shredding. He’s amazing. Kinda reminds me of bees flying around real fast lol.
To answer your question, when he says, "My 16 locked and loaded" it's about his favorite gun in Call Of Duty at the time, the M16.
Blinded in Chains, one of the best song, got to react to this , RIP the REV
you should react to "Chapter Four" it's another a7x song about the story of cain and abel from Genesis 4
You’ve done my favourite song by Avenged Sevenfold- Second Heartbeat but they have sooooo many great songs to listen to I haven’t heard one bad song from them
Avenged sevenfold- Second Heartbeat
not sure if you heard these ones but
The Wicked End
Betrayed
Trashed and Scattered
Blinded in Chains
I Wont See You Tonight Part 1
I Wont See You Tonight Part 2

The songs about war ,i belive it starts with him in or going into combat and the end he’s dying
Seize the Day, Critical Acclaim (studio version) and holly confession are must listens
About your question about the "16" M. Shadows said the 16 is his favorite gun, the M16.
Not ready to die AX7 🙏🏼✨
This song is a masterpiece!

React to "Strength of The World" it's a good song by A7x

I’d like to see you react to avenged sevenfold fermi paradox absolutely beautiful song and synyster Gates was wicked on the guitar
He's referring to the M 16 rifle, it's an icon of the US military like the ak for Russians
Avenged sevenfold seize the day
Does anyone else ever think that our man is gonna poke his eye out with the banger shades one day? Maybe it’s just my anxiety!
With everything going on in the world a great reaction would be Dancing Dead By Avenged Sevenfold
Gibby react to A7X song Blinded In Chains! One of their best ones! Lyrics are badass!
react to unholy confessions - avenged sevenfold
you wont regret it this song will make you miss 2000's
Highly recommend Carry On or Almost Easy! 🔥
it's called sweep picking, often they include tapping notes. it's one of the hardest things in guitar and the more strings u use, the more complex. i can play with 3 strings only XD
the complexity is based on the absolute control about tone and semi-mute the strings along with the absolute precision of not tap the strings that are needed to sound. sorry for my english im from barcelona
Coming home it’s a good one u will like it
It's the double bass drums in the background
Something from the Stage would be awesome !!! Like creating god or God Damn...if you are patient EXIST...it's the best song ever
