This song was written by their old drummer, The Rev (passed away December 2009) because the band asked him to make something absolutely nuts for the album they were working on. In turn, he came up with a song where a guy kills his girlfriend for denying his marriage proposal because he is obsessed with her, then she comes back from the dead to kill him. In hell he begs for forgiveness and she gives it to him and then they live happily ever after as a married zombie couple. The song itself, although is purely meant to tell a wicked story, is basically a love song. A really dark love song.
As i recall it was originally going to be a full Halloween album. But the idea for the Halloween album was scrapped. But they liked this songs unique sound so much that they put it onto a regular album instead of scrapping it.
@@euhakawcr7435 In "the making of" video, they say that after writing one of their other songs they wanted jimmy to write something much more crazy. And i believe the halloween-ish album was actually supposed to be Nightmare because it was originally supposed to be a concept album before the tragedy that changed it into what it is now. Still a great album tho!
@@kingjojo7776 it was the second one I heard after nightmare and it turned me away from them at first but then I came back to it and ended up LOVING it
@@Fiztoo77 yea first song I heard was almost easy because it was on rockband I think. Fell in love instantly but this song isn't a good representation of what the band is. Music video is trash, song is over the top trash
Bruh, who the hell told him to do a little piece of heaven first???? Dude you gotta ease into A7X like a baby on milk lol you went straight for the steak.
but i think anyone should understand it's a comedy thing. I mean from the beginning with the " but bye bye " line, everything is made to hale you laugh, it's also very cartoon it's not like it's scary
@@rengarrengar9417 It would be a lot more funnier if it toned down the gore, but it wasn't a clever animation. It only picked up when the zombie couple were taking pictures together, but other than that I didn't find any part of it to be light hearted.
This was the first song of their's I heard back in 2010 or 2011. However, I didn't watch the music video until later, only the audio. Went back listened to their old stuff and have kept up with them since. But yeah, not ready for the music video fs.
A little piece of heaven is like Bohemian Rhapsody . It’s unique masterpiece of art and it takes time to be totally appreciated or understood. I’m sure if he listens to it a couple of times and starts noticing the musicality in depth and the writing of the song. He will absolutely start adoring and loving the song just like all the fans of A7x do.
Lol wtf. Love the fanboys who can't deal with someone disliking the song so they start scraping up excuses like "ooh it grows on you ooh you should of listened to something else first"
@@gamesmaster1060 I like the song but to call it a unique masterpiece like bohemian rhapsody which is probably like one of the most goated songs is fucking wild
Nah sorry, this song is crap and for you to compare it in likeness to Bohemian Rhapsody shows how stupid you are. It is nothing close to being a masterpiece. The vocals suck, the song itself is lackluster at best and memelike. Nothing inspirational or great about it. Boy people have low standards these days.
"Why this look so dark?" *Morgan Freeman voice* *he was asking a question to which he would have the answer very soon* I love seeing people's reaction to this song 😂
You should definitely listen to So Far Away by Avenged Sevenfold. It’s dedicated to their old drummer who passed away way too young. Utterly emotional mate
Adam Boyle actually the Rev did not write So Far Away. Syn wrote it after the Revs passing. Fiction is the last song Jimmy wrote and sang before he passed.
No idea why people obsess with getting reactions to this.. unless you actually understand the back story as to how and why it was written and take it as that, people react negatively to it and judge the band by the 1 song!
He trashed something he didn't like. Art is wholly subjective. Fuck you for saying fuck him. If this had been my first exposure to a7x, I'd have trashed it, too.
@@fouronetwo813 No, I am not blaming anyone, I am just commenting on the fact that I did not like this reaction and I believe that comments are open to the opinions of others regardless of their thinking
"OMG this is satanic" no it's not, it's a horror story, a dark comedy (when does he ever say Satan or Demons) it's an exaggerated love story. I mean killing is talked about in all genres of music not just metal. I mean Eminem wrote a song about killing Kim (actually multiple). Johnny Cash: "I shot a man in Reno just watch him die." It's just because of the visuals. I can understand being uneasy about the necrophilia though, that is fucked up. But this is actually a musical masterpiece. The brass, and strings, and choir. Love the channel though! Huge fan!
To be fair... Murder and body mutilation, then necrophilia, and cannibalism to the same body is really evil if you think about it. He also said it was demonic when the part of the video is set in hell. Which I understand. He also did say musically he liked the song but what it was about was just not it for him and that's okay.
He didn't start with this song. This is the 3rd Avenged song I've watched him react to and I agree with his conclusion. He liked the 2 before this. I tune-in to all of his rock/metal reactions and I've at least browsed through his other videos. You and many others, apparently, do not know his channel.
@@victoraec9026 No worries, man. Sorry, if the tone of my message came off as harsh. I'd already read several comments before I posted on your comment.
Sad that you trashed it but at the same time i think it was too early in your metal react journey to react to this. Its not meant too take literal and go do the things the video shows. And you dont know avenged sevenfold well at all yet so i can see why you feel the way you do. Overall i think you just didnt fully understand the musical genius in this. Plz return to Avenged Sevenfold tho because they are🔥🔥🔥 love that your doing more rock and metal reacts💯
I completely agree This song is just a huge metaphor where every single thing means something Everything started as a couple that were in love but when he proposed she said no Then when he killed her he kept her body because he clearly still was in love with her and I also think that the heart represents the love Then when she comes back after she kills him she also keeps his heart and I think that it means the same Now that they're both dead they try to get along and they eventually get married And now the most interesting part for me.. when they "start the killing" I think that they're trying to help other couples because in their case what helped their relationship was death So in my opinion this song is just a love song but in a really twisted way so you actually have to think about the meaning of everything to really get the beauty of this masterpiece Or maybe they were just on crack when they wrote the song :v
In a musical standpoint, it was amazingly composed with the help of two orchestra composers and the bands drummer Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan. The dude began with a simple piano...then finished off with the ending result. RIP THE REV.
Just EPIC yeah, this is my second or third time ever really hearing this song now and I do actually really like the vocals and the song overall but I think the music video is just weird. Which could be because I just wasn’t expecting it at all Idrk
This song is a piece of art as dark as it is. Amazingly well put together composition transitions and note sequence. The story is morbid yes but the band is pure genius.
Im late as hell but the drummer was a huge fan of Tim Burton & Nightmare Before Christmas things of that nature so he wrote this song in homage to him. It's about a man who was so scared that she would say no that he killed her before she had the chance to even get asked the question. He misbehaves with the corpse & she comes back for revenge now he feels bad so he vows to make it up to her & they decide to have a zombie wedding. The song is not supposed to be taken literally it's more so a musical masterpiece depiction of something Tim Burton would create. I actually heard Anthony Vincent's 33 style cover of this song first & fell in love with the beauty in the storytelling of this song. I recommend reacting to A little Piece of Heaven in 33 Styles. It's beautiful & in my opinion tells the story better emotion wise. I like the original song as well just hate the video. Great reaction
The Croissant squad lol hail to the king ain’t enough to get ‘eased in.’ Takes much more listening time than that, from my own perspective of course. I’ve been a A7x fan for as long as I can remember, but for someone who don’t know rock and how dark it can be sometimes, this definitely ain’t a song to recommend 😂😂
I personally love the song as much as any song avenged sevenfold. I just find it funny how this guy reacts 😂 even though now A7F isn’t popular anymore still love them
Omg i love it 7:00 - 7:15 , he actually shuts his eyes and headbangs just before everyone in the church gets slaughtered, guess he wasnt prepared for what he saw when he opened his eyes🤣. Best facial expression ever.
If you want a more up to date story-driven Avenged Sevenfold song with less shock factor, you want Avenged Sevenfold - THE STAGE, its a damn masterpiece. From a metal fan to someone discovering it, i hope this finds you :)
Tbh my best friend loves avenged sevenfold and I've grown to love to hate on em just to be a dick lmao even though they're ight hahaha so cus of my pride... They're trash 🤣
The video basically means when your trapped in love"a little piece of heaven" it can make you do terrible things. Yes the video was a bit much but you gotta look past all the darkness. Ive been listening to avenged for a while now .
Man I love your reactions, but I knew you werent ready for this before we even got into it. The video turned you off from the music well before it got a chance my man. Definitely check some more A7X though, I would suggest something like Coming Home or Unbound
This song is just a masterpiece. Once you start digging deeper (and go see their own breakdown of it!), it just opens up. It's a Bohemian Rhapsody of modern age.
haven’t even watched the video but it’s gonna be fire. Love the idea of switching genres, makes a great reaction channel. Next reaction you should do dance with the devil by immortal technique, pleaseeee
Watching the lyrics push you away but then the musicianship and melody pull you in making you move was hilarious 😂 This is 100% shock value metal at its finest.
The song is about a love that you thought was going to last. It didnt work out the first time so you tried again and again and it just ended up being a shallow ghost of what could of been. Or in this case your heart is gone and your both trying to make it work as "living dead". Its totally symbolic.
That would be great, I believe that Killswitch is a band that he would end up enjoying a lot, same for Being As An Ocean, their older stuff is incredible (Waiting For Morning To Come was great as well)
you're taking the video a little to serious, the song is symbolic for hard relation ships and a message that love always prevails the lyrics and video try to make it the most extreme form though. but the message is supposed to be beautiful. you should definitely try a different song by them though like beast and the harlot or bat country
I didn’t even get to read the title, I saw the thumbnail and I was like “I doubt they recommended this” 😩😩💀💀 I’m sorry you had to see this before you were ready 😂😂
I love how he casually calls A7x rock music like its aerosmith or something. no wonder he got all shocked at the content. this song is one of their greats. some amazing old school A7x from when the rev was still around.
@@epiccheeseman42069 just don't pay attention to the lyrics. There's a story behind this song, and they achieved what they wanted to achieve in writing it - that's all.
A year late but someone should tell you this song is all about symbolism lol. It’s a fun song that’s more about the instrumentals and symbolic story telling. Everyone knows the feeling of “getting their heart ripped out.” This just intensifies that and puts it in a literal sense. Listen to this song again, but the Live in the LBC version! It’ll feel like a whole new world
Give them another chance. Little peice of heaven was basically just a fun wicked song for the album. I love them because some songs hit home. You should listen to Critical Acclaim or Stage or dear god.
When yu see his face just watching skuleton musician while saying it's dark, but yu know it's not even started xD We can critic the clip, but the song is a really great melody
As much as i love watching LayedBak react and get hyped to most rock songs, I think this is easily my favorite lmao, the look on his face throughout this was priceless!
One of my favorite avengened sevenfold songs. Knew from the beginning you would trash it. Reminds me of the crazy clown scene from pee wees big adventure.
I cannot believe that I missed this video on his channel. When I saw the title I couldn't help but laugh at this situation. Can't believe you guys did this to him.
Aight, who made my guy listen to this? Ease him into this. Listen to: "Fly on the Wall" by Thousand Foot Krutch A band you haven't reacted to and I think you'll love
Avenged is my favorite band, i say trash too for the same reason you do. But you would be impressed by so many song from them. Seize the day Beast and the harlot Afterlife So Far away and many mores...
A7X has been my favorite band for so long. This song is one of the most creative and musically well written there is. While the ideas and story of the song are pretty dark it truly is a masterpiece in my opinion. Def not their best song but a classic imo.
@@tylerbarrett5 this is not exactly early Avenged Sevenfold. This is off of their fourth album. They've made eight albums. Kinda middle of the road if you ask me.
oh goodness i was laughing the whole reaction!! i was introduced to this song when i was in 6th grade! i love Avenged Sevenfold so much!! and i am just going all other youtube watching people's reactions to MCR Disturbed SOAD lol i love it so much!
I know I'm late to this video, but he reacted EXACTLY how I thought he would xD This is kinda a harsh step into a7x .. That being said, the production value and orchestral/musical aspects of this song aside from the video are some of the best.
Story telling it was story telling he loved her she dident love him back he went crazy he killed her she came back from the dead killed him he came back from the dead begged her for her forgiveness and they got married.

I'm laughing so hard. He has no context or understanding and the shock value is insane. He should have never watched this, yet.
Damien yeah idk who the fuck asked him to react to this lmao
Damien completely agreed i think watching his reactions is better than the video hands down hahaha
His face at 2:54 absolutely killed me
He should have just reacted to the song without the music video
Watching people react to the first time will always be funny.
Fight me. This was one of Jimmy's top masterpieces.
Agreed!!!
Absolutely right.
100%

This was the song that introduced me to them. I remember, for the longest time, it was their only song I listened too.
Most of their songs you can.
this was the second song I've heard from avenged sevenfold and I still love them..
A7X itself is a gateway to metal.

Hey adcArtattak I subbed to u didn't know you were a metal head I am draw a slipknot member
You really cant use this song as a representation of them. It has too much shock value
fr fr, he jumped into this one way too early. This needs to come down the road after listening to a few of their other songs.
Best song they ever did
You should definitely listen to So Far Away by Avenged Sevenfold. It’s dedicated to their old drummer who passed away way too young. Utterly emotional mate
FoREVer
and he also wrote this song before he passed
Adam Boyle actually the Rev did not write So Far Away. Syn wrote it after the Revs passing. Fiction is the last song Jimmy wrote and sang before he passed.
agree
Shattered283 yeah he ment he wrote a little piece of heaven mate
It took me time to appreciate this "AS A METALHEAD" and you gave this guy this song is too much. Maybe do SO FAR AWAY or AFTERLIFE. 🤣
Gerold Israel Jacob or dear god
I'm not even a metal head but I'm digging this, recently found avenged sevenfold and this song is a masterpiece.
Or warmness on the soul.. that would be a good song to start with
This is the first A7X song I listened to. Kinda what got me into them
Ight man you gotta give them another chance check out "buried alive" you will love it trust me
Vouch!
No idea why people obsess with getting reactions to this.. unless you actually understand the back story as to how and why it was written and take it as that, people react negatively to it and judge the band by the 1 song!

The best reactions are the ones who have no idea what's coming.

Get mad at the idiot who told him to react to this

Wtf? This was my first avenged sevenfold song and I liked it ;-;
Focused a lot on the clip and forgot about the music evaluation, that's the truth

So true. What he did to the song was unfair
Using symphonic instruments does not by default make this a masterpiece. Damn A7X fans are delusional as fuck.
classic rappers doesn't understand instrumentation

It’s my go to as well, I remember watching the music video when it came out when I was like 11
I was cracking up when I saw what song this was. I knew LayedBak wasn't going to be ready.
React to other A7F. This song is very strange, not reflective of all their stuff.
Afterlife
Damn! And I thought beast and the harlot was my fav song from them that I’ve heard. I might like this more.
A7X*
Austin Sweitzer he’s already done 2 or 3 other songs from A7X and he loved them
A7X fam
This was the very first song I heard from Avenged Sevenfold and I was hooked! The different instruments, the chords, it was beautiful!
Sad that you trashed it but at the same time i think it was too early in your metal react journey to react to this. Its not meant too take literal and go do the things the video shows. And you dont know avenged sevenfold well at all yet so i can see why you feel the way you do. Overall i think you just didnt fully understand the musical genius in this.
Plz return to Avenged Sevenfold tho because they are🔥🔥🔥 love that your doing more rock and metal reacts💯
I completely agree
This song is just a huge metaphor where every single thing means something
Everything started as a couple that were in love but when he proposed she said no
Then when he killed her he kept her body because he clearly still was in love with her and I also think that the heart represents the love
Then when she comes back after she kills him she also keeps his heart and I think that it means the same
Now that they're both dead they try to get along and they eventually get married
And now the most interesting part for me.. when they "start the killing" I think that they're trying to help other couples because in their case what helped their relationship was death
So in my opinion this song is just a love song but in a really twisted way so you actually have to think about the meaning of everything to really get the beauty of this masterpiece
Or maybe they were just on crack when they wrote the song :v

yea whoever suggested this as your first intro to this band did you dirty. you gotta get eased into A7X lol
Tyler Guy not his first intro, he listened to hail to the king
The Croissant squad lol hail to the king ain’t enough to get ‘eased in.’ Takes much more listening time than that, from my own perspective of course. I’ve been a A7x fan for as long as I can remember, but for someone who don’t know rock and how dark it can be sometimes, this definitely ain’t a song to recommend 😂😂
@@MiloBazan This was literally the first song I heard from A7X, and I absolutely loved it, actually made me search for more of their music.
Mihai-Horatiu Torok maybe for you man, but like this dude don’t listen to rock bro
I personally love the song as much as any song avenged sevenfold. I just find it funny how this guy reacts 😂 even though now A7F isn’t popular anymore still love them
Should’ve listened to afterlife first like damn he jumped right in the deep end on this one
totally
Right after life starter song in comparasin
Good starter pack songs is like Seize the Day , So Far Away , Nightmare , Afterlife , Dear God , Hail to the King.
@@catnipeverdeen74 I think buried alive is pretty sick too, or even scream
Bruh, you're So Far Away kind of guy. Not A Little Piece Of Heaven.
BEST COMMENT EVER!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH btw this is my favorite song from them... amazing work all around!
Omg i love it 7:00 - 7:15 , he actually shuts his eyes and headbangs just before everyone in the church gets slaughtered, guess he wasnt prepared for what he saw when he opened his eyes🤣. Best facial expression ever.
The insanity of this song is amazing. It was one of my first introductions to avenged way back when I first heard it.
If you want a more up to date story-driven Avenged Sevenfold song with less shock factor, you want Avenged Sevenfold - THE STAGE, its a damn masterpiece. From a metal fan to someone discovering it, i hope this finds you :)
I’m dying 😂😂 whoever threw this at him is a terrible human but the reaction is priceless 😂 “am I seeing what I’m seeing” 😂
They deserve another chance, this is one of their darkest songs. Do Carry On next! Love and respect brother 👊🏻
Carry On gets so much flak but I love it. Sure it ain't their best but it's really good to jam to.
Man you've just trashed a masterpiece
Avenged sevenfold is trash
Andrew Garcia No u
Tbh my best friend loves avenged sevenfold and I've grown to love to hate on em just to be a dick lmao even though they're ight hahaha so cus of my pride... They're trash 🤣
Andrew Garcia You’ve mostly redeemed yourself
Andrew Garcia tf
My man skipped straight to this😂 , should’ve started with afterlife, buried alive, gunslinger, doing time.
He just jumped to the final boss
Avenged Sevenfold- so far away. This’ll be the exact opposite tone of this song
Alexis Gutierrez still find it difficult to listen to the song and watch the video😔
undeadfbgew I use to find it hard to hear too. Don’t worry with time all wounds will heal.
Alexis Gutierrez just breaks my heart. I’m glad i got to see them all together on stage🖤
undeadfbgew I never got the chance. I’m sure it was amazing tho
@@stepwise2765 I find the song funny as fuck. It's not a serious song at all
It was supposed to be the craziest song they could think of. Pure shock value
The video basically means when your trapped in love"a little piece of heaven" it can make you do terrible things. Yes the video was a bit much but you gotta look past all the darkness. Ive been listening to avenged for a while now .
Man I love your reactions, but I knew you werent ready for this before we even got into it. The video turned you off from the music well before it got a chance my man. Definitely check some more A7X though, I would suggest something like Coming Home or Unbound
This song is just a masterpiece. Once you start digging deeper (and go see their own breakdown of it!), it just opens up. It's a Bohemian Rhapsody of modern age.
Avenged Sevenfold Nightmare is better
Lmao, no.
They’re both good.
haven’t even watched the video but it’s gonna be fire. Love the idea of switching genres, makes a great reaction channel. Next reaction you should do dance with the devil by immortal technique, pleaseeee
Watching the lyrics push you away but then the musicianship and melody pull you in making you move was hilarious 😂
This is 100% shock value metal at its finest.
Seize The Day, Afterlife, and So Far Away. You'll forget all about this one.
This is kind of an experimental song don't let this one shade your view of them they're actually a really good band
The song is about a love that you thought was going to last. It didnt work out the first time so you tried again and again and it just ended up being a shallow ghost of what could of been. Or in this case your heart is gone and your both trying to make it work as "living dead". Its totally symbolic.
Yo LayedBak, try listening to some Killswitch Engage songs
Album versions only though, the radio edits fall a bit flat.
Kill switch holy driver
That would be great, I believe that Killswitch is a band that he would end up enjoying a lot, same for Being As An Ocean, their older stuff is incredible (Waiting For Morning To Come was great as well)
LOVE Killswitch!!! I prefer Howard though as the lead, just personal preference I suppose
Fire from the gods- excuse me
🔥🔥Fire af 🔥🔥
That would be insane if he checked them out
Brandon Janis he needs to along with backwordz (that’s the guys new band )
This song is definitely more his style, especially since it has hip hop elements
anthonybleakley1982 right? I really hope he sees it I think he would enjoy it
Not just that, shows the singers range in just one song.
He's not trying to be satanic he's just telling a story he even. Says that the song means nothing
@LayedBakDFR
you're taking the video a little to serious, the song is symbolic for hard relation ships and a message that love always prevails the lyrics and video try to make it the most extreme form though. but the message is supposed to be beautiful. you should definitely try a different song by them though like beast and the harlot or bat country
I didn’t even get to read the title, I saw the thumbnail and I was like “I doubt they recommended this” 😩😩💀💀 I’m sorry you had to see this before you were ready 😂😂
Your reaction had me rolling, dude I havent laughed this hard in a while.
This is actually one of my favorite songs by them. Pass
This song gives them no justice lol definitely listen to any of their other songs.
7:00 you started liking it till they killed everyone on screen 🤣
And just a heads up this is actually one of avenge sevenfold's greatest songs
I love how he casually calls A7x rock music like its aerosmith or something. no wonder he got all shocked at the content.
this song is one of their greats. some amazing old school A7x from when the rev was still around.
The first song from them I heard, I was a kid and didn't know english well so I loved the song without knowing the lyrics
You've just trashed a masterpiece
ikr wtf
@@epiccheeseman42069 This song is an absolute work of art. It's fucked up, yes, but it's an amazing song. I love this song - it has so many layers.
@@epiccheeseman42069 just don't pay attention to the lyrics.
There's a story behind this song, and they achieved what they wanted to achieve in writing it - that's all.
@@epiccheeseman42069 This song is amazing. Not everyone is a Bieber fan (not that pop songs are always that good, with big second layers).
like bruh.....-___-
WHAT?!?!?! This is is incredible on a musical and production level! Amazing for a band of their time!
yea, he literally trashing it cause of the video but musically it's one of their best songs
Of their time?
This is like 10 years old, can't be out here making me feel ancient with shit like that 😤😂
A year late but someone should tell you this song is all about symbolism lol. It’s a fun song that’s more about the instrumentals and symbolic story telling. Everyone knows the feeling of “getting their heart ripped out.” This just intensifies that and puts it in a literal sense. Listen to this song again, but the Live in the LBC version! It’ll feel like a whole new world
Give them another chance. Little peice of heaven was basically just a fun wicked song for the album. I love them because some songs hit home. You should listen to Critical Acclaim or Stage or dear god.
When yu see his face just watching skuleton musician while saying it's dark, but yu know it's not even started xD
We can critic the clip, but the song is a really great melody
As much as i love watching LayedBak react and get hyped to most rock songs, I think this is easily my favorite lmao, the look on his face throughout this was priceless!
react to Avenged Sevenfold Afterlife pleasee but make sure its the full song
Listen to Avenged Sevenfold - “Carry On” or “Not Ready to Die”, you’ll love either of those, and they’re not weird like this one lol
Angel Vicente lol, it’s supposed to be like that.
Such a beautiful and tender song.
The nostalgia.... brings back such fond memories of my dating years.
I love my cousin Matt when he makes his songs he's just and literally we look just alike and sound almost the same!!!
One of my favorite avengened sevenfold songs. Knew from the beginning you would trash it. Reminds me of the crazy clown scene from pee wees big adventure.
I cannot believe that I missed this video on his channel. When I saw the title I couldn't help but laugh at this situation. Can't believe you guys did this to him.
Aight, who made my guy listen to this? Ease him into this.
Listen to:
"Fly on the Wall" by Thousand Foot Krutch
A band you haven't reacted to and I think you'll love
TFK is a good pick. Would love to watch him react to TFK.
One of the only reaction channels I'll watch.
Notification squad!
First comment lol
This my favourite love song it’s so different from any typical love song
Avenged is my favorite band, i say trash too for the same reason you do. But you would be impressed by so many song from them.
Seize the day
Beast and the harlot
Afterlife
So Far away
and many mores...
A7X has been in my top 3 bands for years and years, and honestly no idea why this song is liked so much.
BLeePrit same for me. But musically , not bad.
A7X has been my favorite band for so long. This song is one of the most creative and musically well written there is. While the ideas and story of the song are pretty dark it truly is a masterpiece in my opinion. Def not their best song but a classic imo.
I'll be honest, I just dont like early avenged sevenfold's vocals.
@@tylerbarrett5 this is not exactly early Avenged Sevenfold. This is off of their fourth album. They've made eight albums. Kinda middle of the road if you ask me.
Damn that's some fire squad timing right there
oh goodness i was laughing the whole reaction!! i was introduced to this song when i was in 6th grade! i love Avenged Sevenfold so much!! and i am just going all other youtube watching people's reactions to MCR Disturbed SOAD lol i love it so much!
I know I'm late to this video, but he reacted EXACTLY how I thought he would xD
This is kinda a harsh step into a7x .. That being said, the production value and orchestral/musical aspects of this song aside from the video are some of the best.
Yo! He needs to react to avenged Sevenfold Nightmare!
DUUUUUUUDE!!! This is one of my favorites by A7X!! How can ya not like it?? Talk about badass!!
The video just too much for a beginner of a7x, it would be better if he reacted to the lyric version.
Bro this song is so fire 🔥 and I personally think the video is hilarious and creative. Try Nightmare or Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold
Stephen Bennett afterlife is sooooo good I love nightmare also but afterlife is just my fav!
Honestly. The song is terrible. And I like this band
Story telling it was story telling he loved her she dident love him back he went crazy he killed her she came back from the dead killed him he came back from the dead begged her for her forgiveness and they got married.
Whyd we want you to see it? One of the best music videos ever ❤️
