@@igorlopes7929 all there songs are haha he lost his voice 100% on there last tour sadly, i saw them back in 2010 when mike portnoy was with them and to this day its the best concert ive seen
Yeah but the heavy lifting is done by Matt. The difference beteween the nasal album version & this gritty vocal live version are astounding! Absolutely awesomely done by Matt! Especially the epic part after the orchestral moment!
+SharpWalkers There's not that much of a difference between the album and this version. The album just had a lot more vibrato and control. Less belting and more control makes grit sound weird. His voice is weaker here than it is on the album by lightyears.
***** You're joking right? On the entire City of Evil album Matt's voice is nasal and weak, because his voice was still recovering (Renman interview 55:00), it's the biggest drawback of that album. During the live shows of 2005/06 he got his power back and sounded better he ever did before or after. Another great example is the Trashed and Scattered's live version. The amount of distortion he manages to put into it (which requires a hell of a lot more control than singing cleanly, because you can wreck your voice entirely) is a startling contrast with the album version. So, I really don't know how you can even pretent to come to that conclussion, honestly.
The mixing and EQ doesn’t do the original recording justice. There’s a video titled Making of City of Evil Part 3 which is Matt in the studio. You can hear a lot of vibrato, power, and control when he hits the D5 that’s completely lost in the mix.
@@ExternusArmy just watched that video and this is so true. The final mix kinda sounds like he's just barely squeezing those B4s and that D5 out in great misery, but in the recording he actually has a lot of control and power behind those notes (although we can only hear that D in the making of, but based on that difference it's the same for the whole part)
This song should be played more often on their concerts. When I first heard this song, I fell in love with its. I´m not joking. It´s very complicated. A lyrics, riffs and everything are awesome. I love it so much. It´s my favorite song.
It is one of their best tbh but hey, it would be a nightmare to play live it's hard and it's overdubed in the chorus and those high notes after the bridge are impossible to pull them out live especially with the set they have so 🤷♂️ we can still hope they do someday tho
The biggest problem is just the lyrical lines bleeding over each other, so Matt can’t sing them all. I think Zacky is actually pretty good at singing though
I really love the bridge at 4:38. The vocals are great, and I love how slow and calm it feels compared to the rest of the song. And I love how he rev joins in at 5:21
The bridge I consider as a highlight in Shadows career with the notes he hits and maintains. 5:45 - 5:55 guitar leads are my favorite of all time along with Syns lead in Buried Alive right before Shadows goes into the last chorus of "This is now your life...". This song also has one of my favorite solo's with how bluesy it is. Big fan of that stuff.
@@user-np3gn4oc5v He meant today, songs that are forgotten by the band itself that deserve to be played today, as well as several others from other albums, are always the same all lives
2024 here, the voice of Matt in this period of time was the best of the metal scene, rasp 10+, and very powerful without screaming or growl... miss those times, 4:37 my favorite moment too
Wouldn't it be fucking great if Avenged played a setlist with a bunch of City of Evil gems??? Kinda like: 1. Strength of the World 2. Chapter Four 3. Welcome to the Family 4. Walk 5. The Wicked End 6. Natural Born Killer 7. Clairvoyant Disease 8. M.I.A. 9. Doing Time 10. Requiem 11. Rememissions 12. Dancing Dead 13. Sidewinder 14. Until the End 15. Seize the Day 16. So Far Away 17. Buried Alive 18. Unholy Confessions 19. Second Heartbeat 20. Coming Home Encore: Save Me
Devonshire Pee You'd be surprised how difficult it can be to keep consistent at the pace of the tempo that the Rev plays during the verses. Especially for that long a duration.
That's what I say! He literally doesn't get tired, and feels no strain. You set him on the kit, and he just goes. It's fucking insanse, watching him play
I seriously I'm almost incapable of listening the studio track with this live version out. Infinitely better. Why do they no longer play stuff from City of Evil?! There's more than just Bat Country you know!
They have so many songs they have never even played live and that sucks.. But i think it's because some of them just have so much change in tempo and stuff like that.. i really don't know!
I just think the same, They always play the same stuff, Bat country, beast and the harlot, afterlife and almost easy are great songs but they've played them alot, its time to play other masterpieces like Remenissions, Shatered by broken dreams, Desecrate through reverence, The wicked end, sidewinder, radiant eclipse, M.I.A and more!
I started listening to Avenged after LIBAD, and I simply cannot understand how this song isn't a hit played in every concert. Absolutely shocking to me, one of their best songs and is the least played in both TH-cam Music and other platforms I checked. In TH-cam Music, it has 7 million plays vs 200+ for Seize the Day. Cannot understand the fanbase that overlooks something like this and drools around good ballads that aren't 5% as original or shocking as songs like these.
I think almost all song from CoE Album is underrated. Like Blinded in Chains, Trashed & Scattered, Sidewinder, The Wicked End, Strength of The World. I dont know why mostly people only likes and know Bat Country, Beast and The Harlot, Seize the Day.
Damn i always knew that matt is an insane vocalist but this is out of the world, too good.. and when jimmy join matt singing, i shed a tear, i really miss him..
IMO, their best song on City of Evil. Strength of the World is another one nobody ever talks about. I think that may be just as good. I'd love to hear them play either one live today. Especially with Shadows vocals all healed up, and not using that nasally shit anymore.
This is amazing, I thought it would suck live because it has alot more than 2 guitars in it. But as usual, they pulled it off. my fav A7X song. RIP THE REVEREND THOMELOW PLAGUE
Unless they can get someone to sing as well as the Rev live, this won’t be played again. It’s so vocally demanding and they accent each other perfectly
Exactly! I think about a year ago maybe they had a poll on their website where people vote for the songs they want to hear live on that tour. As I had hoped, people voted for songs like M.I.A, Chapter Four, I Won't See You Tonight Pt.1, etc., but some people still voted for the most generic A7X songs too, which shocked me, because songs like Bat Country and Nightmare are played at just about every single one of their shows. So is Unholy Confessions and stuff, but come, we all love that song :)
@jacaria21 Actually early 2005 before the release of City of Evil this was also played on some dates of the Cities of Evil tour in Fall 2005 along with other rare tracks such as Strength of the World and MIA (proshot of this exists) The song has never been played live since then however
They need to sing these songs live more often!! Don't get me wrong i love the singles but dammit i want to hear EVERYTHING!!! Not just the singles! I think all A7X fans agree!
Hey, thanks a lot for posting this video. I haven't been able to find a single other recording of them playing the full song live so I really appreciate it! :D Is there any chance you know when and where this footage is from? Because I would really like to know if you don't mind. Thanks! :D
Yes i am an enthusiastic guitar player, but my ear is not attuned to quite the degree of detail as yours, my mistake :] glad to see a reply that wasn't just mindless agression and was acutally quite constructive. Thank you, i will listen further.
@Acidwrath yes. one of the notes he plays around the end of the first repetition of the main harmony, he was supposed to play a C#, not a C. if you understand music theory or know a little about musical notes and stuff, then you should be able to understand what i'm saying. if not, just listen to the first main harmony and then listen to the second main harmony and you'll notice a difference. listen closely though

Imagine if they played this live in the LBC , would be incredible
shame they didnt or wont again
They do not play this song in live
@@matheusmaiadeandrade7833 they actually played, only in 2005 though.
This song is very voice demanding.
@@igorlopes7929 all there songs are haha he lost his voice 100% on there last tour sadly, i saw them back in 2010 when mike portnoy was with them and to this day its the best concert ive seen
You have to admit Johnnys bass is killer in this song
Johnny def doesn’t get enough credit in the band
@@AlexLopez-dd7ym was gonna say the same thing. I dunno why they don’t put the camera in him more in live show vids.
Matt is such a talented singer. Holy fuck.
You also forget The Rev sang some of his parts. And also Syn and Zacky.
Yeah but the heavy lifting is done by Matt. The difference beteween the nasal album version & this gritty vocal live version are astounding! Absolutely awesomely done by Matt! Especially the epic part after the orchestral moment!

radiant eclipse, clairvoyant disease, desecrate through reverance, wicked end, sidewinder, betrayed. i have to see these live before i die.
Man good luck lol
Apparently the band agrees with the idea that Sidewinder should be played live
Me too
They played Desecrate live
th-cam.com/video/aVReHLHzND8/w-d-xo.html
Ugh dude this and sidewinder are what I need ALSO RADIANT ECLIPSE GODDDD
4:37 I honestly think he sings this part better than the actual recording
The mixing and EQ doesn’t do the original recording justice. There’s a video titled Making of City of Evil Part 3 which is Matt in the studio. You can hear a lot of vibrato, power, and control when he hits the D5 that’s completely lost in the mix.

Almost easy in the LBC thats the best version of that too that intro scream is a million times better than the recorded version
This song should be played more often on their concerts. When I first heard this song, I fell in love with its. I´m not joking. It´s very complicated. A lyrics, riffs and everything are awesome. I love it so much. It´s my favorite song.
100% Agreed
100% but it's definitely a harder one to play but they nailed it!!!!

@@maxfisher1471 jimmy sang in this, that’s what you’re hearing during the chorus but they can’t that anymore
The rev's improvisation is f*ckin amazing😍
Man hearing Jimmy sing my favorite line.. I sing my lungs out too and shed a tear.
They need to do a throwback tour where it is just older cuts
Jack97 thst is a really good idea
Matt will explode
@@woodenhoe And Johnny lol
I would kill to see Sidewinder live
I would kill to go see that
When I heard The Rev singing in the chorus I may have shed a tear

Songs from City Of Evil A7X NEEDS to play live: Sidewinder, The Wicked End, Trashed And Scattered, MIA, Bat Country, Blinded In Chains, Betrayed.

Most of those songs would be rarely or never played live, but that setlist you made is awesome!
+Daniel Romero I would add Lost and Unbound and Betrayed into that setlist
+xHeavenHelpUsAll7771x ikr! How about adding Lost it All and Blinded in Chains too?
fergosan2009 Yeah that would be nice. There's no good live performance of Blinded in Chains on TH-cam.
xHeavenHelpUsAll7771x Blinded in Chains 2006 Rock am Ring
I've been waiting to hear this for so long ...I've finally found it!!
FatlessMidget same
I so envy those that have seen A7X perform this song live, it's my favorite.
Me to🥺👍
This song is seriously so hard on the drums
Really? The Double Bass can tricky to keep up with at times, but as long as you relax it's pretty easy. Great drums non-the-less.
Devonshire Pee You'd be surprised how difficult it can be to keep consistent at the pace of the tempo that the Rev plays during the verses. Especially for that long a duration.
Not really that hard lol. Now playing Nile, at speed, for a long duration; that's fucking hard.
Devonshire Pee Thats because George Kollias isn't human. He's a god damn machine!
That's what I say! He literally doesn't get tired, and feels no strain. You set him on the kit, and he just goes. It's fucking insanse, watching him play
I seriously I'm almost incapable of listening the studio track with this live version out. Infinitely better. Why do they no longer play stuff from City of Evil?! There's more than just Bat Country you know!
Agreed!!!!! I really wish they played The Wicked End, Sidewinder, Trashed and Scattered, and the godly Strength of the World
+Daniel Romero i hate that they never played sidewinder live. its my favorite a7x song
They have so many songs they have never even played live and that sucks.. But i think it's because some of them just have so much change in tempo and stuff like that.. i really don't know!
THEY NEED TO PLAY TRASHED AND SCATTERED
James Gorman there is an hd recording of them doing trashed and scattered live
Jimmy's vocals are phenomenal
My god I miss hearing Jimmy and Matt sing together so much
Such an underrated song, for me, one of the best of city of evil
I was not expecting Shadow's voice like that in 4:37. Omg that was good
Thank u so much for posting this on TH-cam. My fav song. Ive never herd it live til this
"Don't go to sleep tonight, Darling, hold me in your arms"
I just think the same, They always play the same stuff, Bat country, beast and the harlot, afterlife and almost easy are great songs but they've played them alot, its time to play other masterpieces like Remenissions, Shatered by broken dreams, Desecrate through reverence, The wicked end, sidewinder, radiant eclipse, M.I.A and more!

The Rev singing some great D5s at 5:17-
I bet if they play the whole city of evil album, places will be sold out in a snap of a finger.
Axel Link yup!
I love when The rev sing a part of the song
My all time favorite avenged song
Damn i always knew that matt is an insane vocalist but this is out of the world, too good.. and when jimmy join matt singing, i shed a tear, i really miss him..
So rare in 2022
cant believe its been 10 years since jimmy left us. rip the knife master
This is national treasure
this is one of my most replayed song ever
Matt and Jimmy's harmonies in this are incredible. Especially with Jimmy's scream during the bridge
some songs sound way better in the studio compared to the live version, but this song rocks live! i'm surprised they didn't play it live hardly at all
This live IS just a master piece it couldn't be better
How the fuck does synyster play that solo with only like 2 mistakes?!?!
practice. practice. practice. practice. practice. practice. practice. practice.
FatlessMidget because he's SYNYSTER FUCKING GATES
+wipe0utpuls3 I just laughed so hard and my grandma just looked at me like I'm crazy
FatlessMidget Because he wrote the solo ... :v
damn the sweeping in the solo sounded really good for a live show
what’s crazier is he’s doing arpeggio sweeps.
IMO, their best song on City of Evil. Strength of the World is another one nobody ever talks about. I think that may be just as good. I'd love to hear them play either one live today. Especially with Shadows vocals all healed up, and not using that nasally shit anymore.
Sidewinder my dream !

yes it is fast but there was singin Matt with Rev (for example epic part 5:20 )
Matt's voice is amazingly powerful here...and obv The Rev is just fucking tight as hell as always!
i really liked the picture u used!
Why did i laugh
@@BakedCheddar12 im laughing aswell, rly high rn core memory unlocked

Fucking amazing. Highly underrated music here.
I have been looking for this forever thankyou for the upload!!
4:37 my favorite

why they never play this song live ??? the wicked end is one of the best song a7x of all time
good perform really love this band
There's not much time to breathe in this song, it's be difficult to play/sing live

Why am I only finding this now?!? And how can I get this on my phone.
TH-cam to MP3 converter then you can put it right to your phone
One of the hardest songs to play live
swallow lies and swam in our own tears... The Rev sang that part.
Yassss
They need to sing these songs live more often!! Don't get me wrong i love the singles but dammit i want to hear EVERYTHING!!! Not just the singles! I think all A7X fans agree!
it’s almost annoying how good this song is
Essa é a música mais difícil de cantor ao Vivo, por esse motivo nunca cantaram ao Vivo, letra magnífica, a Voz do The Rev, é magnífica!!!
Fuck, this is much better live! The rev's a beast at drums!
definantley one of their most underrrated songs! love it!
The best solo OMG *-*
Ive been searching for this, thanks
Imagine if they played this live now and the rev was still alive omgggg
dude.one of the best songs ive ever heard,
"These will be our final days and I can't let go"
God, I love this song so much!
This is awesome quality.
Thanks for the upload!

dude ive been looking for this for so fucking long.... thank you
my favourite damn a7x song thanks for uplouding live man i damn like u!

Is there any chance you know when and where this footage is from? Because I would really like to know if you don't mind.
Thanks! :D
They have been playing Chapter Four on their Hail to the King tour, so it's a hopeful start! Lol
Even though Waking the fallen is half metal core, it is still a very good album. Strength of the world is probably my favorite song from them.
shadows+the rev vocals=AWESOMENESS
Pure epicness
how is it even possible to play this song live... and soooo... goood! *___*
i wish i could SEE them playing this song live!
00:40 SICK!!!!!!!
4:37 best voice ever fuuuuuuuck
Oh yes man!
Great channel name. Dark Soul fan confimed. 👍
yeah its the rev at 1:07
damn. Syn played that solo perfectly...
Oh rev…we miss you.
Jimmy singing in the chours in some other parts as well :')
for long time . at last , I can hear this song in live version . :D
I think im in love...with the Rev's voice!
Yes i am an enthusiastic guitar player, but my ear is not attuned to quite the degree of detail as yours, my mistake :] glad to see a reply that wasn't just mindless agression and was acutally quite constructive. Thank you, i will listen further.
