@@ricardovasquezjr8493 Let me phrase it in another way then. 😂 The drum solo is absolutely nasty and is an excellent showcase to the man's musical talent. I'll always love the band but it will never be the same after the Rev died, and instances like this are exactly what show it.
Great song I love it but randomly on shuffle their song I Won’t See You Tonight Pt. 1 came on for me the other day, no lie, and it really might be the best song that they’ve ever put out musically. Don’t know if you’ve heard that one but it’s a masterpiece of a song
It sucks that they had to cut a few of their songs for the music videos, they always seem to take out the best parts. The intro, drum solo, and key change at the end of the full song make it SO MUCH BETTER
Shame it's the video version but what a banger all the same, I can still remember hearing this for the first time and it was well over a decade ago. City Of Evil is modern metal classic and if I could recommend any song for any reason, the double kick fill on Blinded In Chains
This is my favorite A7x song. Fantastic musicianship all around. Those happy guitars under the lyrics lifted from the Book of Revelation get me every single time. You were correct when you said "everything ain't what it seems." The city of Babylon - beautiful corruption. Great reaction.
Avenged Sevenfold is what got me into metal music, they have a good range hard and softer songs. More of an alternative metal band but they’re my all time favorite.
yo this is my all time fav band! i even have a deathbat logo at the back of my neck. thanks for doing this!! we need to bring the old A7x back for the younger generations to hear!
Haven't been seeing you react to music in a long time, but A7X made me click so fast. Still one of their best songs. Thank you so much for playing this. Love and light from Sweden 🇸🇪✌🏻
Glad you checked this out! First song I heard from them in 06 and I was hooked! My interpretation of the lyrics and video is how people get corrupted by sin, a lot of imagery of the whole Vegas Strip kind of lifestyle literally sin city (album name is city of evil so it fits too). Also could be a representation for America as a whole, some people criticize the decadence of America and compare it to Babylon (tying into the title beast and the harlot, the whore of babylon). This band uses a lot of biblical references, even their name is a biblical reference, I'm a former Christian myself and I do think the book of revelations makes for the best Metal themes in lyrics lol. I'd check out Bat Country from them next
Just a little background info on the song itself, as the title mentions, it talks about the beast and the harlot in the book of revelations in Bible mythology. The scarlet seven-headed beast and the harlot were once in union until the beast betrayed her. It also talks about how the harlot committed fornication with the kings of the nations which you can also hear in the song. Just thought it’d be interesting to say
All the more reason why Gaston from the beauty and the beast was the true hero and belle's nature and stubbornness got him killed, and she had to settle for an awkward beast of a man who was a slave to his own desire and insecurities. Tragic.
@@halowarriornav do you think that if Christianity weren’t as big as it was now it would be called a mythology? I implore you to be able to think outside the box and think about that possibility. I’m a pagan and I still accept the fact that most people would call my religion a mythology. Even your god recognizes this. If not, I as many others would be dead. I was a former Christian. The things I’ve done and said would absolutely make me go to Gehenna according to your book. But as I said, I’m a pagan now.
@@mythellaneous5203 The size of following a religion has isn’t what determines whether it’s a mythology or not. If it’s based on myths determines if it’s a mythology or not. Christianity is not a collection of myths.
You should do "Almost easy", "Seize the day", "Dear god", "Afterlife", "Gunslinger", "Critical acclaim", they are all amazing songs, i would u to react to" Unholy confessions", but i think it's to hard for you 🥲 Love and light from Sweden 🇸🇪✌🏻
When I first heard the album I said "this song is what you'd play if you were going to drive your car into a highway overpass at 130 mph". I stand by that. Fuckin JAM
I'd love to see you do a reaction to Scream by Avenged Sevenfold, but the live version at LBC. My man that song and live performance is one of their best by far
Ah this version is depressing. Cutting out the drum solo is such a crime. Check out Bat Country by them. Been playing drums for over 20 years and the rev is such a beast.
Their song Trashed and Scattered from this album is an all-time favorite song ever. If you react to it, there's a chance I'll watch it numerous times, 'cause if I wanna hear it, sometimes I just view a reactor reacting. Gives you a view and me a listen. I'm happy to do that. I still play it all the time, even after 18 years. It makes me wanna go train... but it also kinda makes me wanna terrorize the town. lol. While it's probably not "too heavy," it's very energetic. I'd totally recommend it if that's your type of thing. It's a hidden gem from this album that all their fans appreciate. This album is fire! This drummer was out of this world!
Yo Layed Bak if you like this song you gotta trash or pass their song critical acclaim. It is known as one of the hardest songs to play on guitar and is an amazing song.
Finally, A7X their back, the solo with Zacky is very good, et the rev.. god damn, that's so fantastic I propose, for a next react : - Save me - Dancing dead - Unholy confessions - afterlife ( in live or not, u decide)
Hey man dont know if youll see this or not but i am just finishing with covid and it sucked couldnt work or see my girl but i was home watching every reaction video you have of all my favourite artists and it made my days go by a little faster. Thanks for being a great creator of youtube and music keep up the good work man ✌️
Killswitch engage reaction would be nice to see. Especially "in due time" since it promotes a positive mindset but in a powerful metal way if that makes any sense
Avenged Sevenfold have some other great songs you could react to. Here's my top 5. 1. The Stage 2. Chapter 4 3. Acid Rain 4. Unholy Confessions 5. Sidewinder
Not trying to bash your opinions - just curious. Have you heard their earlier albums? Waken the Fallen and STST have some of my favorite songs from them. As a die hard a7x fan I am looking through the comments, and am slightly disappointed that everyone only mentions their newer stuff. I love all of their songs, but if you haven't listened to their first 2 albums much give them a listen!
@@patrickwomblecat8130 I've heard all of their albums. Including sounding the 7th trumpet and diamonds in the rough Lips of Deceit and The Art of Subconscious Illusion are two of my favourite A7X songs
What kind of music would you say is/was your main genre you listened to your whole life? Is this an effort to listen to new kinds of music, or are you a rock guy listening to some new bands? Either way I love the format and seeing people like you appreciate music 🤘🏼
It’s one of their longer songs, but Avenged Sevenfold’s song “I Won’t See You Tonight Pt. 1” quite literally might be the best song that they’ve ever put out from a musical standpoint. It’s a masterpiece of a song, surprised that not many people have recommended it
And All Things Will End is really good, too. But their best song musically is Exist, the insanity of the song, the way it does such a good job at symbolising the Universe and many other things. A Little Piece of Heaven is up there.
@@mattmcsherry761 Not musically. Emotionally, maybe. Musically, absolutely not. When they have songs like MIA, Strength of the World, Exist, Sidewinder, IWSYT 1&2, The Stage, the list goes on, Save Me simply can't compete. It's simple IN COMPARISON and in some parts, incoherent. Not a problem with any of the songs I just listed. It's an emotional work, not a technical work. Like most of Nightmare. It was really the equivalent of Linkin Park's A Thousand Suns in that sense alone.
Should watch people shred this kinda stuff on guitar hero rock band.. one of my all time favourite songs to play it's so challenging but fun to shred on guitar and drums
a lot of Avenged's older stuff focuses on the bible and its lore, etc. that's even where they got their name from (im not religious so I couldn't quote which verse) but their first album is called Sounding the Seventh Trumpet and the opening song is To End The Rapture. on their second album, a song called Chapter Four which talks about Cain and Abel and when one brother killed the other. this one talks about babylon falling etc (obviously) and going to hell, all that stuff, you don't get that near as much these days. their sound also changed drastically from screaming to more clean vocals when their singer blew out his voice after touring for the second album I believe, someone correct me if im wrong tho
Gotta check out fiction by avenged it’s the last song the drummer wrote and sang before his death, the words are very subliminal to his death and it’s a great song
I just watched your reaction to Bulls on Parade and if you really like that funk and groove element added to metal you should react to Primus. My Name is Mud slaps (literally)
Couldn’t’ve picked a better song to demonstrate A7. Best ones are this, bat country, seize the day, & strength of the world. The last one is a bit on the corny side with the chorus though. This one and Bat Country are my favorites. xD
So I've seen you've been branching out and getting into other genres of music, have you ever had anyone suggest Nerdcore, or have you ever done any reactions to that
Here’s the link to the Patreon for request and Merch discount 🔥🔥🤘🏽-> patreon.com/Layedbakdfr
Avenged is my favorite rock star :")
And M. Shadows and The Rev is my fav
please react to I CAUGHT DEPRESSION (SPOKEN WORD) (2021)
Can u react to (Trying by midwxst)
You pick the one band I ever walked out on during the concert. They are a radio band to me now.
Ayo no hate but this version cuts out the intro and The Rev's drum solo. That solo is legendary and ya gotta hear it.
Oh shit, the words "you gotta" are prohibited in the Layedbak realms.
@@ricardovasquezjr8493 Let me phrase it in another way then. 😂 The drum solo is absolutely nasty and is an excellent showcase to the man's musical talent. I'll always love the band but it will never be the same after the Rev died, and instances like this are exactly what show it.
@@ricardovasquezjr8493 I didn’t realize. That’s my bad 😬
This is exactly my thoughts
He's right.
So far away by A7X gotta be my favorite song. Such a great song dedicated to their late drummer Jimmy Sullivan
fiction i think tops it only cause its the last song jimmy wrote
my alltime fav is 4:00 AM
Great song I love it but randomly on shuffle their song I Won’t See You Tonight Pt. 1 came on for me the other day, no lie, and it really might be the best song that they’ve ever put out musically. Don’t know if you’ve heard that one but it’s a masterpiece of a song
Oh yeah, fantastic song. Been my favorite many times.
He called himself The Reverend Bartholomew Plague, and you have to be so boring as to use his government name? Shame on you.
The full intro didn’t play because of the music video. That’s one of the best parts of the song
100%
Neither did the damn drum solo which is absolute bs
It sucks that they had to cut a few of their songs for the music videos, they always seem to take out the best parts. The intro, drum solo, and key change at the end of the full song make it SO MUCH BETTER
quite surprised on how ppl still reviewing a7x in 2022..mad respect 👏
Facts
Shame it's the video version but what a banger all the same, I can still remember hearing this for the first time and it was well over a decade ago.
City Of Evil is modern metal classic and if I could recommend any song for any reason, the double kick fill on Blinded In Chains
You should react to Coming home by Avenged Sevenfold. It has one of the best guitar solos
Thanks for the rec
I recommend ‘welcome to the family’ by avenged sevenfold, currently my favorite song of theirs
I would recommend that as well, welcome to the family is definitely second favorite song a7x after beast the harlot.
This is my favorite A7x song. Fantastic musicianship all around. Those happy guitars under the lyrics lifted from the Book of Revelation get me every single time. You were correct when you said "everything ain't what it seems." The city of Babylon - beautiful corruption.
Great reaction.
I'm glad to see "little piece of heaven" didn't scare you off with how wild that song is lol. They have a ton of gems in their catalog.
RIP Rev. One of the finest drummers modern music had ever known.
One of my favourite drummers ever. RIP Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan🙏🙏
Ahhh you would of loved the drum solo in the beginning. One of the few times I would of preferred the lyric version, but this reaction was great! 🤟🤟
one of my favorite bands of this era to be honest. This is the 2nd song I learned how to play on drums by Avenged Sevenfold
Avenged Sevenfold is what got me into metal music, they have a good range hard and softer songs. More of an alternative metal band but they’re my all time favorite.
yo this is my all time fav band! i even have a deathbat logo at the back of my neck. thanks for doing this!! we need to bring the old A7x back for the younger generations to hear!
One of my favorite A7X songs, actually pretty deep with symbolism if you look at the lyrics, its about the corruption and fall of the City of Babylon.
Wow never heard that song, killer drums&guitar solo, video gave me goosebumps frfr. Favorite song by this band is Almost Easy!
"Save Me" is *the* Avenged Sevenfold song.
Haven't been seeing you react to music in a long time, but A7X made me click so fast. Still one of their best songs. Thank you so much for playing this. Love and light from Sweden 🇸🇪✌🏻
A7X has a unique sound, like some shit you'd hear in an old ps2 game. They do have some heavy sounds though, Critical Acclaim is one of them.
Glad you checked this out! First song I heard from them in 06 and I was hooked! My interpretation of the lyrics and video is how people get corrupted by sin, a lot of imagery of the whole Vegas Strip kind of lifestyle literally sin city (album name is city of evil so it fits too). Also could be a representation for America as a whole, some people criticize the decadence of America and compare it to Babylon (tying into the title beast and the harlot, the whore of babylon).
This band uses a lot of biblical references, even their name is a biblical reference, I'm a former Christian myself and I do think the book of revelations makes for the best Metal themes in lyrics lol.
I'd check out Bat Country from them next
For sure you need to listen to the studio album version. It's got an actual intro, and the revs drum solo/breakdown. And the ending is better
Just a little background info on the song itself, as the title mentions, it talks about the beast and the harlot in the book of revelations in Bible mythology. The scarlet seven-headed beast and the harlot were once in union until the beast betrayed her. It also talks about how the harlot committed fornication with the kings of the nations which you can also hear in the song. Just thought it’d be interesting to say
All the more reason why Gaston from the beauty and the beast was the true hero and belle's nature and stubbornness got him killed, and she had to settle for an awkward beast of a man who was a slave to his own desire and insecurities. Tragic.
I appreciate the added info, but the Bible isn’t mythology.

Yo bois we have to show this man "THE STAGE" by Avenged Sevenfold
Like so he sees this
You should react to MIA or Dangerline by Avenged Sevenfold
Both of them are military-related and Both of them have some SICK Guitar Solos!
I haven't even watched the reaction yet but this gets a hard like. One of my favorite songs from A7X
Can we get some Asking Alexandria please? From their stand up and scream album
Thank you for being open to all music. A7X is my favorite band.
rev is a goat on the drums we still miss you up there rev we love your work and no matter what we will always love your work
Like the only band who will put their main solo before the second verse lol
I grew up listening to A7X 🔥🔥🔥
Congrats man great job,the best reaction always 👏👏
I had a feeling you were gonna stop in the middle of the solo and was ready to laugh 🤣
I love this song as its core lies in the book of Revalations where the Beast comes to power and the Harlot which is New Babylon falls.
YESS more avenged sevenfold!!!
You should do "Almost easy", "Seize the day", "Dear god", "Afterlife", "Gunslinger", "Critical acclaim", they are all amazing songs, i would u to react to" Unholy confessions", but i think it's to hard for you 🥲 Love and light from Sweden 🇸🇪✌🏻
"Now if you want to serve above or be a king below with us you're welcome to the city where your future is set forever"
Hi LaidBack, I have a suggestion for you ,, 30 Seconds To Mars - Edge of the Earth, is an iconic song for those who played NFS
Yoooo pls do more Avenged their stuff is AMAZING!
When I first heard the album I said "this song is what you'd play if you were going to drive your car into a highway overpass at 130 mph". I stand by that. Fuckin JAM
AYE!!!!! its about time you covered more avenged sevenfold lets goo
I'd love to see you do a reaction to Scream by Avenged Sevenfold, but the live version at LBC. My man that song and live performance is one of their best by far
TRAITORS - MENACE II SOCIETY
Amazing song you'll love it
OMG this is my fav band!
welcome brother all peace and smooth vibes for the '22 and beyond.......LETS POP THIS SHYTE!!!!!!
Ah this version is depressing. Cutting out the drum solo is such a crime. Check out Bat Country by them. Been playing drums for over 20 years and the rev is such a beast.

Yo! Falling in reverse came out with a few amazing tracks recently. I think you would love them!
Massive enjoyment thank you so much man
Yo Layed Bak if you like this song you gotta trash or pass their song critical acclaim. It is known as one of the hardest songs to play on guitar and is an amazing song.
I'd suggest listening again with a lyrics video and catching the Biblical context to the song.
Man you have to check out the new falling in reverse song zombified
Finally, A7X their back, the solo with Zacky is very good, et the rev.. god damn, that's so fantastic
I propose, for a next react :
- Save me
- Dancing dead
- Unholy confessions
- afterlife ( in live or not, u decide)
React to “THE RIVER” by Good charlotte ft. M Shadows and Syn Gates of Avenged Sevenfold it’s such an underrated song.
Hey man dont know if youll see this or not but i am just finishing with covid and it sucked couldnt work or see my girl but i was home watching every reaction video you have of all my favourite artists and it made my days go by a little faster. Thanks for being a great creator of youtube and music keep up the good work man ✌️
Definitely one of their weirder songs lyrically. The full version is much better; it just sounds great.
If you know your Bible, the lyrics make a lot more sense. :P
Missed the whole DRUM SOLO in the song, and the intro gotta react to Live in the LBC. Great vid :)
STOP WHENEVER LAYED!!!! WE HERE!!!! #firesquad
I remember that TheDooo played that solo. Fascinating
Do paper wings by rise against or ashes of eden by breaking Benjamin
Was bangin to this in high school circa 2007. song SLAPS

Avenged Sevenfold Made great music in there nightmare album , Matt had an amazing voice those years
RIP REV
Great song and album. Homage to "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".

Finally an Avenged Sevenfold song that's not their newer stuff
Song’s all about temptation, and the video shows that it’s ultimately self-consuming.
It’s one of their longer songs, but Avenged Sevenfold’s song “I Won’t See You Tonight Pt. 1” quite literally might be the best song that they’ve ever put out from a musical standpoint. It’s a masterpiece of a song, surprised that not many people have recommended it

You need to do the stage by A7X. They are my fav rock band
This means war and M.I.A are my favourites from avenged sevenfold
Should watch people shred this kinda stuff on guitar hero rock band.. one of my all time favourite songs to play it's so challenging but fun to shred on guitar and drums
I won’t see you tonight part 1 🔥🔥🔥
you cool bro...loves your channel man!! With love from INDIA..Peace✌🏼
YESSSS. MY FAVORITE A7X SONG
I don’t know if you have checked them out already but there’s this band called Sevendust and you should listen to the song Waffle
The contract girl, the sucker boy, and the other people being taken into the darkness; it’s a metaphor for selling your soul.
a lot of Avenged's older stuff focuses on the bible and its lore, etc. that's even where they got their name from (im not religious so I couldn't quote which verse) but their first album is called Sounding the Seventh Trumpet and the opening song is To End The Rapture. on their second album, a song called Chapter Four which talks about Cain and Abel and when one brother killed the other. this one talks about babylon falling etc (obviously) and going to hell, all that stuff, you don't get that near as much these days. their sound also changed drastically from screaming to more clean vocals when their singer blew out his voice after touring for the second album I believe, someone correct me if im wrong tho
I believe it’s genesis 4:24. KJV
Second heartbeat has to be my favorite A7X song it goes hard
Another good song from avenged sevenfold is either crossroads or the fight, both of these are from diamonds in the rough album
I grew up with avenged sevenfold and Wu Tang clan absolutely one of greatest bands
Cant wait for more avenged sevenfold!!!!
The doo is upload video so I wait for your reaction man.
all City of Evil album songs are HEAT
Gotta check out fiction by avenged it’s the last song the drummer wrote and sang before his death, the words are very subliminal to his death and it’s a great song
Bro SHOTTA FLOW 6 IS DOPE
I just watched your reaction to Bulls on Parade and if you really like that funk and groove element added to metal you should react to Primus. My Name is Mud slaps (literally)
Couldn’t’ve picked a better song to demonstrate A7. Best ones are this, bat country, seize the day, & strength of the world. The last one is a bit on the corny side with the chorus though. This one and Bat Country are my favorites. xD
I love this band. Grew up listening to them. This song is a reference to revelation in the Christian bible. The destruction of Babylon.
You’ve got to react to Powerwolf! Start with Demons are a girls best friend or Dancing with the dead.
So I've seen you've been branching out and getting into other genres of music, have you ever had anyone suggest Nerdcore, or have you ever done any reactions to that
He needs to react to Jinjer or Spiritbox
