    This is such a fun song, seriously. It's so dark and goofy but I love it so much. The band's drummer, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, who sadly passed away in 2009, wrote this song and sang co-lead vocals on it. If you want more of his lead contributions, "Critical Acclaim" and "Fiction" are always good ones--the latter contains his final vocal performance before his death.
    Love your reaction.

    7:21 Jimmy Sullivan (The Rev) the drummer of A7x indeed sing this part live, while playing the drum.
    Honestly he did a great job, I can't find when he sing that part with earthquaky voice because playing the drum, everytime, always in perfect vocal.
    edit : obviously he sing all his part while playing the drum on live stage.

    They almost always perform this live however it is something you have to wait for and Encore for! All of the true fans stay around because we know it is coming and everyone else usually leaves! But the lead singer M. Shadows has some of the best crowd control I have ever seen! He has the whole crowd chanting the “Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!” Parts and they whole crowd also sings the “choir” part just for the wedding scene and it is absolutely AMAZING! You would love one of their shows for sure!! I have seen them 4 times myself!💜🤘🏻

    I genuinely adore your reaction and breakdown to Avenged Sevenfold / your overall outlook on Metal as a whole ! Time after time i've seen and read so many ignorant comments about how Metal has no substance, meaning, depth and it's all "screaming without substance" and it's a breath of fresh air seeing the opposite of that because it's exactly that / what you have said in general !
    Bands like A7X, Slipknot, Bring Me The Horizon etc, all stellar showcases of powerhouse vocals and the range of depth, specially Corey Taylor of Slipknot, from say his other band Stone Sour, the contrast in the growls to clean vocals is just droppingly nuanced and diverse !
    I'd definitely recommend Gunslinger, Seize the Day, Afterlife(Full Studio Version), Bat Country, Beast and the Harlot, Nightmare, Far Away, Fiction, just some of the songs that display's Matt's vocal range !

    One of my duty stations in the Army was Fort Gordon, Georgia. I used to frequently drive around with this album (mainly this song) on full blast, on post, with my windows down, and my subwoofer all the way up, and I would get the weirdest looks. Sometimes people would look over and give me the devil horns/rocker sign, and then hear the lyrics and go "wait what" and their hand would slowly and limply fall away like "what did I just salute this guy for? Oh no".
    My friends knew, if they got into my car and this album wasn't playing, I was probably not having a good day.

    Having “fun” playing with his voice while telling a very serious, sad, and telling story. Just shows more of this bands personality.. Please do more avenged sevenfold. It’s so comforting to see someone acknowledge the lyrics, vocals, and instrumentals.

    • @davidalvarado9957
      @davidalvarado9957 2 роки тому +2

      But honestly it WAS made just for fun. Watch the making of video. The Rev had a song idea for a Halloween album they wanted to do and they quite literally recorded it for fun. So she was exactly right.. It just happens to also tell a really good story. you don't have to look for more meaning where there is none for it to still be a really great and well written song.

    Also, their drummer(rip) wrote this song. He passed away years ago sadly. He was a great musician who could play multiple instruments well

  • @SuperSlawter
    @SuperSlawter 2 роки тому +8

    The funniest thing is that a lot of the crazier vocals were done by the drummer, The Rev. He refused to record vocals sober. So it's really interesting to see you break down technique of how he was singing considering he was drunk and goofing around lol Shows the true talent of Jimmy Sullivan.

    M. Shadows' vocal coach happened to also be Axl Rose, you can strongly tell by the tone he employs in a ton of A7x tracks, it shares a lot of similarities with GNR's early styles.
