@@metalguru85 I'm glad Im not alone. I think in terms of skill, sound, structure, composition, it is BY FAR one of the most perfect songs they have ever written. It is CRIMINALLY underrated...
This entire album was basically a tribute to the bands that influenced them growing up, hence the 80's sound. Great call out by you guys. If you want to hear a song that is heavily influenced by classic Metallica, listen to "Shepherd of Fire" from the same album. One of my favorites. Keep killing it, guys.
This album “Hail To The King” was done after Nightmare (which was the last album The Rev played on RIP) and the drummer they had was named Aarin Iljay (spelling) and he obviously did not last with the band…. Songs for nostalgic sound - BEAST & HARLOT New kick ass sound - THE STAGE Trust me fellas, these two are BANGERS!!!!
Actually, Rev passed before Nightmare was finished and Mike Portnoy did the tracks for, I know, Nightmare. Arin Iljay was only in for the Hail To The King album then Brooks Wakerman has been there since. 🤘🏼💙🤘🏼
Much as I love "newer"-ish A7X, I have to give it to their _City of Evil_ album for the quality of music. Less heavy, but more technically complex. "Beast and the Harlot" and "Blinded in Chains" are filthy, and the drumwork in "Bat Country" and "Burn it Down" is insane.
So Far Away and Gunslinger are a different side of A7X, borderline ballads. But Almost Easy would be a great next reaction. You'll not get two songs alike but think Hollywood would like their more mellow stuff. Also need to check out their early metalcore stuff at some point.
I do like This Means War from this album, but I think it gets lots of criticism for being a Sad But True rip-off… can’t say that I disagree with that. But I still like the song! God Damn is the song. The. Song. Hahaa hope Slash is doing well down there… I mean he looks happy 😆😊
This song/album has a large mix of ‘80s metal & 60s/70s blues influence. A solid one to help get into the band. For their earlier work, I’d check out Bat Country, Blinded In Chains, Strength of the World, Critical Acclaim, Afterlife, Scream, Chapter Four, Eternal Rest. The list continues for this band!
Doin' Time off this same album sounds even more like Guns and Roses. This entire album is sort of a tribute by A7X to all the bands that have been an influence to them. Hail to the King is one of the very few albums where I like every song and can be on repeat for weeks. It's just that good.
More an 80s iron maiden or judas priest sound vocals gun and roses ish but the Death Bat symbol is bitchen! I hope you React or reacted to CRITICAL ACCLAIM... AFTERLIFE.. ALMOST EASY or BAT COUNTRY awesome songs!! Great in concert you need too see them!!
Bro y’all got to check out “Trashed and Scattered “ from the City of Evil album. Whole album is incredible but I think y’all would really enjoy that song
🦋It's Always A Good Day for Some A7x. Great Reaction Guys! When ''City Of Evil'' Was Released. I went & bought It the very next day. Every song Is Fire. And every Release Since Has Been Nothing Short Of Amazing. The band's name comes from a passage in the Genesis story of Cain and Abel, which reads, "But the Lord said to him, 'Therefore whomever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. '' Also ''Hail To The King'' Was The First Album Released That Doesn't Include Any Music by James "The Rev" Sullivan. And Arin Ilejay was confirmed as an official band member and his replacement. M. Shadows said in an interview, That the album would sound more blues rock-influenced and more like classic rock/metal like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. So You Guys Are Not Wrong In Saying It Sounds More Classic Style. 🎶🎶🤘😏✌🎶🎶 RIP Rev. Never To Be Forgotten, As The Angels Cry, A Warm Rainfall Into The Night Sky. While Heavenly Rocking Sounds Pronounce Within Our Minds Eye, The Thunder Crashes An Lightning Strikes, It's Only The Rev Playing His Drums Deep Into The Night...''Amazing Art To Paint Our Silence, ''Seize The Day'' Ignite The Fuse, For An Explosive Groove, HAIL To The Eternal Heavy Sounds''
Wow this song is soooooooo good ! I love you 2 bro's and i love music, all typs of music ! I wanna hear u rapp, i wanna hear you're own songs ! Greatings from germany ❤
Your never gonna get a little piece of heaven again from A7X!! That song was written by the Rev, RIP!! Check out Save me by them, they say that song is their masterpiece
I say that if you want more Avenged, do either 'Bat Country' or 'Beast and the Harlet.' Beast if Heaven is your favorite. Both are from the City of the Dead album where they have a little bit of a biblical inspiration.
The Stage is an amazing song. Also if you're interested in seeing how A7X kills it in a live performance, I would suggest God Hates Us live at Rock Am Ring in 2011. The song is good and the lead singer absolutely KILLS the vocals.
Gotta check out This Means War video. It’s from this album. But honestly, you need to check out their “Live in the LBC” concert. GREAT sound, great songs, but most importantly, you get to see the Rev play drums RIP.
Ya'll need to watch the making of "A little piece of Heaven" video. It'll help put everything into perspective. Prior to this album, The Rev didnt write the songs and he was kinda anxious about writing for the group. He did do writing with his other band Pinkly Smooth.
@@Nightwalk444 prior to their self titled album, the Rev didn't write "avenged sevenfold" songs. The band encouraged him to just be himself and write because he was a bit nervous.
Great Reaction, love A7X. Shepard of Fire is a good song on this album. You should also check out The Warning. They are a band of sisters from Mexico that Rock Hard.
There are so many great A7X songs. I highly recommend "The Stage", "So Far Away", "This Means War", "Bat Country", "Beast and the Harlot", "Buried Alive", "Almost Easy", and just so many more. ♥ Also, if y'all haven't seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, I HIGHLY recommend y'all check that out BEFORE reacting to Bat Country. Lol.
I love ALL music...that being said, this song is one of THE best intros of any song ever. Your Betrayal by Bullet for my Valentine is tops also. Keep it up fam
Hey guys could you please do some more ANTHRAX please!! Such a great catalog. As always I suggest Indians Live from Kings among Scotland, Breathing Lightning, Suzerain, A.I.R., Intro into Reality and Belly of the Beast. Please guys, Thank you!!!
Guys check out vintersea - befallen the band is so underrated & the vocalist growling and screams are one of the most powerful i heard in metal music...
my god damn head snapped back when that tree branch flew off as if it actually hit me XD..... also "God Damn" is really good and if you wanna go back a few years check out "Afterlife"
The band mentioned that the album with this song was inspired by older metal groups like Iron Maiden and similar acts. You were pretty close. Sub earned.
You should react to some A7X songs like (one from each album): - "Streets", from 'Sounding the Seventh Trumpet' - "Second Heartbeat", from 'Waking the Fallen' - "M.I.A.", from 'City of Evil' - "Critical Acclaim", from 'Avenged Sevenfold' - "Buried Alive", from 'Nightmare' - "Requiem", from 'Hail to the King' - "God Damn", from 'The Stage'
It's funny you guys bring up the sound and guns and roses me personally I don't hear it but their first main hit called bat country that has a straight up guns and roses sound to it and that was their first big hit. Trash talker for life
Damn. Speaking of 'King of Kings,' you guys should check out Manowar's 'Gods of War' album. 'King of Kings,' 'Sons of Odin,' 'Gods of War,' 'Hymn of the Immortal Warrior'... The entire album is amazing. 🤘😎🤘
Caylen Croft's finisher was the inverted atomic drop. He was only in WWE for a short while as part of The Dudebusters, wrestling a few matches on ECW. Can you please react to a great band from Finland, Wintersun - Time (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios). They are a melodic death metal band which I think you will like. They are epic.
Avenged's first breakthrough album that got them notoriety is City Of Evil which M. Shadows changed his voice to mimic some of that classic Guns and Roses sound.
Check out The Stage by Avenge sevenfold. You'll love the video. Also, check out Liberate by Disturbed. I saw avenged sevenfold open for Disturbed I would say S. Gates is like the next generation's Slash
Love some A7X! They sound a lot like one of my favorites and theirs, Metallica. Definitely love to see you react to some Highly Suspect and The Amity Affliction. Also do more Primus & Static-X
"So Far Away" and "The Stage" are now just must listens and must watchs
The Stage is a very underrated song
And exist if they haven't already
@@metalguru85 I'm glad Im not alone. I think in terms of skill, sound, structure, composition, it is BY FAR one of the most perfect songs they have ever written. It is CRIMINALLY underrated...
Agreed, because it can take a while be OK to just watch the video for a little piece of heaven , even though that's a great song.
Gates has quickly became my top guitarists with “the stage” album
This entire album was basically a tribute to the bands that influenced them growing up, hence the 80's sound. Great call out by you guys. If you want to hear a song that is heavily influenced by classic Metallica, listen to "Shepherd of Fire" from the same album. One of my favorites. Keep killing it, guys.
That’s why it’s called hail to the king. Paying homage to the 80’s metal
This album “Hail To The King” was done after Nightmare (which was the last album The Rev played on RIP) and the drummer they had was named Aarin Iljay (spelling) and he obviously did not last with the band….
Songs for nostalgic sound - BEAST & HARLOT
New kick ass sound - THE STAGE
Trust me fellas, these two are BANGERS!!!!
Actually, Rev passed before Nightmare was finished and Mike Portnoy did the tracks for, I know, Nightmare. Arin Iljay was only in for the Hail To The King album then Brooks Wakerman has been there since. 🤘🏼💙🤘🏼

Preach brother. City of Evil is hands down one of my favorites.
City of evil and waking the fallen are my holy grails
Burn it down .. oh man fuck yes🤘
uhm.. i always thout The Stage was their most complex album
@@aerahtv0000 it's really good. But City of Evil was the first metal album I heard so I could be very biased.
“The Stage” is a song that just needs to be experienced because it has so many different music parts. Their best song in my opinion.
The stage was okay for me but Roman Sky blows it out the water
What do you think of Life Is But A Dream?
Triple H's King entrance is "King of Kings."
So Far Away and Gunslinger are a different side of A7X, borderline ballads. But Almost Easy would be a great next reaction. You'll not get two songs alike but think Hollywood would like their more mellow stuff. Also need to check out their early metalcore stuff at some point.
The song from that album that sounds like GNR is "Doin Time". Check it out!
This song in particular sounds like if Aerosmith, Metallica, and Eddie Van Halen did a supergroup
I do like This Means War from this album, but I think it gets lots of criticism for being a Sad But True rip-off… can’t say that I disagree with that. But I still like the song!
God Damn is the song. The. Song.
Hahaa hope Slash is doing well down there… I mean he looks happy 😆😊
Awesome reaction! The intro build up is one of the best in metal, great choice!
I’m so glad you guys loved this song. It’s an absolute banger!
This song/album has a large mix of ‘80s metal & 60s/70s blues influence. A solid one to help get into the band.

Man, I see it the exact opposite way 😂
More an 80s iron maiden or judas priest sound vocals gun and roses ish but the Death Bat symbol is bitchen! I hope you React or reacted to CRITICAL ACCLAIM... AFTERLIFE.. ALMOST EASY or BAT COUNTRY awesome songs!! Great in concert you need too see them!!
Awesome reaction! You got a new subscriber, I suggest starvation and from the ashes by crypta,
Crack of light and beffalen by Vintersea!
You gotta react to the new Arch Enemy tune - 'Deciever Deciever' Great video too!
Bro y’all got to check out “Trashed and Scattered “ from the City of Evil album. Whole album is incredible but I think y’all would really enjoy that song
You should listen to vintersea another metal band with a female! Her growls and cleans are both awesome 🔥

Welcome to the club gentleman! You're listening to a genre of music that has limitless songs that will reach out and grab your ear hole!
Slipknot just dropped their new single
The Chapeltown Rag[Visual 001]
I say that if you want more Avenged, do either 'Bat Country' or 'Beast and the Harlet.' Beast if Heaven is your favorite. Both are from the City of the Dead album where they have a little bit of a biblical inspiration.
I would have thought Bat Country was a Fear and Loathing reference.
Once again just gotta say y'all are always at it with the bangers.
Great reaction…. A7x RULE!!!! So good y’all need to do MORE!!!! 🥰🔥💜🤘
I love this song! Awesome! Thanks guys!❤
Yes! One of the best all around rockers out there. I just love the riffs.
The Stage is an amazing song. Also if you're interested in seeing how A7X kills it in a live performance, I would suggest God Hates Us live at Rock Am Ring in 2011. The song is good and the lead singer absolutely KILLS the vocals.

Wdym with "prior to this" Hail to the King came in 2013 and the Rev died in 2009
@@Nightwalk444 prior to their self titled album, the Rev didn't write "avenged sevenfold" songs. The band encouraged him to just be himself and write because he was a bit nervous.
Shadows would be flattered by the GNR comparison. He speaks all the time about how much he loves GNR and respects Axl
Arch Enemy: Deceiver Deceiver is a banger
Ya'll would love "Buried Alive"
If you guys somehow haven’t looked at bat county avenged sevenfold, do it as soon as possible. It’s the song that really put 7fold on the map
this song is my favorite avenged 7X song btw..forgot to put that in the first comment, but hey, it is early!
Vintersea full performance from slay at home! Please and thank you
wow what a reaction! boys are killin.
Great song by them. Another classic by these guys is This Means War. Y'all won't be disappointed.
Excellent band! One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen! And can we talk about the skills of Synyster Gates….♥️🎸♥️
Hail to the engineer who made those drums hot in the mix.
Great Reaction, love A7X. Shepard of Fire is a good song on this album. You should also check out The Warning. They are a band of sisters from Mexico that Rock Hard.
This one of my favorite songs by anvegned sevenfold
There are so many great A7X songs. I highly recommend "The Stage", "So Far Away", "This Means War", "Bat Country", "Beast and the Harlot", "Buried Alive", "Almost Easy", and just so many more. ♥ Also, if y'all haven't seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, I HIGHLY recommend y'all check that out BEFORE reacting to Bat Country. Lol.
I love ALL music...that being said, this song is one of THE best intros of any song ever. Your Betrayal by Bullet for my Valentine is tops also. Keep it up fam
FYI the actual song starts at 5:05, youre welcome.
You two would like Afterlife or Bat Country….both Epic!!🤟👍
Gotta check out the song "buried alive"... Amazing composition!!!!!
That entire album is beautiful. Its a masterpiece. Not like the other ones aren't amazing too just this CD is one of a kind imo
Yes i will indeed Hail The King 👌🏼 This song makes me feel like a Gladiator
Also, they wanted the album to be very groove oriented and reminiscent of classic metal. So you guys are pretty on point with your analysis 🙂
Rumor has it that the “King” they are referring to is Metallic. Almost every song on this album sounds MetallicA.🤘
The song "Planets" from this album is an amazing vocal track
Love your guys reactions 😆
Just keep doing more A7X songs and I will be happy 😝. I suggest "scream" or "trashed and scattered"
Hey guys could you please do some more ANTHRAX please!! Such a great catalog. As always I suggest Indians Live from Kings among Scotland, Breathing Lightning, Suzerain, A.I.R., Intro into Reality and Belly of the Beast. Please guys, Thank you!!!
You guys be vibin in this one lol. Great stuff.
You need to watch the “Seize the Day” video by A7X!!! I believe it’s his girlfriend, now wife, in the video.
love the head banging!!! Welcome to the fold!!!
I thrash this song daily it never gets old ❤
The stage is one I wanna see you react to they're are without a doubt my favorite band
Guys check out vintersea - befallen the band is so underrated & the vocalist growling and screams are one of the most powerful i heard in metal music...
my god damn head snapped back when that tree branch flew off as if it actually hit me XD..... also "God Damn" is really good and if you wanna go back a few years check out "Afterlife"
Warmnes On The Soul is one you'd never ever guess was by A7X.
It's totally one of my favorites.
The band mentioned that the album with this song was inspired by older metal groups like Iron Maiden and similar acts. You were pretty close. Sub earned.
Sinister Gates is epic. He went to music school and got his degree in Music Theory. He's legit. Love this song.
Yep so far away. the feels man
You should react to some A7X songs like (one from each album):
- "Streets", from 'Sounding the Seventh Trumpet'
- "Second Heartbeat", from 'Waking the Fallen'
- "M.I.A.", from 'City of Evil'
- "Critical Acclaim", from 'Avenged Sevenfold'
- "Buried Alive", from 'Nightmare'
- "Requiem", from 'Hail to the King'
- "God Damn", from 'The Stage'
More A7X! I think y’all would enjoy some live in the LBC
A song that makes you wanna drive a v8 at max down a road at midnight.
It's funny you guys bring up the sound and guns and roses me personally I don't hear it but their first main hit called bat country that has a straight up guns and roses sound to it and that was their first big hit. Trash talker for life
Flat out badass!!!
VINTERSEA NEXT!
Buried Alive would be another Killer Tune by A7X!!!👍🤟
Vintersea plzzzzz the singer is a beast
Damn.
Speaking of 'King of Kings,' you guys should check out Manowar's 'Gods of War' album. 'King of Kings,' 'Sons of Odin,' 'Gods of War,' 'Hymn of the Immortal Warrior'...
The entire album is amazing. 🤘😎🤘
seen this shiiz live few years back, amazing night
THIS should've been HHH's entrance music during his "King of Kings" gimmick.
Nymphatemine Fix is such a trip down Metal lane
React to Swallow the sun enemy & woven into sorrow
React to Unholy Confessions by Avenged Sevenfold
Hey bro! Nice react, you need react to Black veil Brides In The End... Grettings from México 🇲🇽
Caylen Croft's finisher was the inverted atomic drop. He was only in WWE for a short while as part of The Dudebusters, wrestling a few matches on ECW. Can you please react to a great band from Finland, Wintersun - Time (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios). They are a melodic death metal band which I think you will like. They are epic.
Gotta do the music video for this one is a must.
Avenged's first breakthrough album that got them notoriety is City Of Evil which M. Shadows changed his voice to mimic some of that classic Guns and Roses sound.
Starts at : 5:15
I'm not personally into this band but you guys did to spend Justice just continue to do what you do
Have always said they combined an 80's lead singer with 2000's hard rock.
This is for me personally one of their best songs, and if you like this one you gotta look at avenged sevenfold this means war.
Just listened Frozen. 🔥 Smoke….You gotta breathe bro. Relax
Check out The Stage by Avenge sevenfold. You'll love the video.
Also, check out Liberate by Disturbed.
I saw avenged sevenfold open for Disturbed
I would say S. Gates is like the next generation's Slash
cryin' like a bitch by Godsmack...please & thank you. i love your reactions!
Love some A7X! They sound a lot like one of my favorites and theirs, Metallica. Definitely love to see you react to some Highly Suspect and The Amity Affliction. Also do more Primus & Static-X
Highly Suspect is awesome
You all need to watch the video where a kid comes on stage and plays this with the band.
That is a bopper
