It’s always the best bands talent wise that grow up knowing of each other or having someone related it’s crazy the chance of that happening and it becoming successful when everyone has the same dream together in a band like that it’s very rare
This probably this first interview I’ve ever watched with M. Shadows. His speaking voice is not what I expected. His singing voice is my blowingly excellent. I really really really like this dude he’s genuinely very cool.
@@messyjesse1173 ik but I don't look anything like my old self and I'm just as confused about that too. lol. jk. Yeah it's definitely him.. rockin a mullet now as well!🤘☺
@@jessicalarson3758 I hear ya. I guess going from the metal look to a mullet country look was a stretch and I had to question it. Reminds me of a hillbilly who makes moonshine lol Love the dude
@@messyjesse1173 lol... ik. he's always going for that wow factor or to have ppl scratching their heads and surely did not disappoint, as usual! lol :) He talked about (in this full interview) adding a line to the mullet or something new to it as the mullet progressed so we will see what it turns into! haha :):) I love how he has no fear to do the unthinkable or to just be different. ❤
Now you can only imagine with all the fun and chaotic sh*t they went through together just how crushing it was when The Rev was gone. RIP to one of the greatest drummers to ever live and I hope to see you in a better place.
It’s the best and only time you really can be that cus once you get older shit gets real and all the sudden trouble means so much more cus now you got responsibilities, you got bills etc. get in trouble as an adult and you could mess your whole life up but as a kid you have the freedom to make some mistakes and it not ruin everything
I've done some bad ass shit as a kid I bought weed in middle school I got caught with it we used to hit pens in there be high asfc walking around the school we'd get into fights we'd do everything middle school and highschool
I Wish I knew The Rev in person, he and M Shadows were troublemakers in school. The Rev was near as good at vocals as at drumming and his talent of drum and vocals is a rare and unique talent.
I was also a troubled youth with some of my friends. Now being old and a parent I think man I was a douche. So now I have to teach my kids to be better and also to listen to avenged sevenfold😎
Imagine those “punk-ass neighbor kids” that pissed you off all the time turned out to be two members of a famous metal band and you’re sitting there like “oh shit!” 😂
He had a pantera shirt in second grade??? if he was born in the early 80s that band was hardly even heard of by this time. Makes no sense that a kid in California would have a pantera shirt in the late 80s.
You also have to keep in mind of the people around him when he was growing up could be a possibility that he have had a family member from texas who visited him often show him or introduced him to Pantera and gave him a shirt only way we would know is if we asked his family
@@reaperxz3ro Cowboys from Hell wasn't even released yet...what was he listening to ? Power metal album? Phil Anselmo had just joined the band and they weren't even signed yet.
@@Ishbu101 I just looked up the merch from the 80's and they do in fact have merch from power metal and I am the night from their I am the night tour of 85. All of what shadows said could be very possible
Jimmy Sullivan was a true musical genius, that’s why he died young. In the immortals words of Billy Joel, “Only the good die young” (e.g. Chris Cornell, Ronny Van Zant, James Dean, etc, etc.)
Be great having Jimmy back. Probably would have been some good music. Not like the new album. I hate the new stuff. I regret buying my concert tickets before the record came out 😔
I love hearing stories about musicians who grew up together.
Same bro.
Fr, its why i like a7x so much
@@pyro.prime.officiallet’s be honest, that’s not the only reason🤘🔥
I always suprised to hear that Jimmy, Matt and Syn is childhood friend in the same neighboorhood. That is one hell of a talented neighbourhood
It’s always the best bands talent wise that grow up knowing of each other or having someone related it’s crazy the chance of that happening and it becoming successful when everyone has the same dream together in a band like that it’s very rare
And now Matt and Syn becomes brother in law! Such an eternal friendship
M. Shadows is one of the chillest and laid-back heavy metal vocalists I have ever seen. R.I.P REV 🥁 gone way too soon. 🥁
His speaking voice is so sweet tf I would’ve never guessed but love that 🥺
the way his face lights up🥰🫶🏻
This probably this first interview I’ve ever watched with M. Shadows. His speaking voice is not what I expected. His singing voice is my blowingly excellent. I really really really like this dude he’s genuinely very cool.
I may have fallen away from A7X many years ago, but man these guys were idols to me and my friends growing up.
Don't listen to the new album is a train wreck.
Me and mine as well. Good times and great memories no one can take away from us
You didn’t “grow away” from them. They never knew who you were in the first place!
@@man.in.thx.box59false idols Lmfao
@@SoberHighDrunk Cmon man just let them appreciate A7X in peace, no need to try and take that away from em
Awesome story. I would love to hear more. RIP to the best drummer ever
They were just being them 😂😂....love hearing his backstory❤
we missed you so much Dear Jimmy😢
Love THIS MAN!! So down to earth, so creative and sophisticated...So cool AND so friggin HOT!😎
Is this really M.Shadows? Doesn't look anything like old self so I'm confused
@@messyjesse1173 ik but I don't look anything like my old self and I'm just as confused about that too. lol. jk. Yeah it's definitely him.. rockin a mullet now as well!🤘☺

Agreed
i always wish i wouldve had music buddies growing up. the ONE metalhead anywhere near my town
Immense love for this man ❤
Jimmy was such a wild cat. RIP 💐
I didn't realize they went THAT far back. 😭
Love this guy❤
The way his face lights up anytime he talks about Jimmy 😢
Now you can only imagine with all the fun and chaotic sh*t they went through together just how crushing it was when The Rev was gone. RIP to one of the greatest drummers to ever live and I hope to see you in a better place.
i will forever regret not being a troublemaker as a kid
it was fun just make sure you’re not a trouble maker as an adult 😂😂🙏🏻

Oh hell I was😂 you couldn’t take me anywhere without me doing something mischievous
I've done some bad ass shit as a kid I bought weed in middle school I got caught with it we used to hit pens in there be high asfc walking around the school we'd get into fights we'd do everything middle school and highschool
God it’s so funny hearing his normal voice and not screaming 😂
Love hearing the stories too, really is a shame that the rev passed so soon :(
Can’t wait to see you live at louder than life this year
I Wish I knew The Rev in person, he and M Shadows were troublemakers in school. The Rev was near as good at vocals as at drumming and his talent of drum and vocals is a rare and unique talent.
R.I.P JIMMYYYYY ^^ REST INNNN PEACEEEE MY LITTLE MAN!!!
So Shadows was basically Sid from Toy Story BUT with a social life! 😂
I love it
🖤🖤🖤 You guys were PHENOMENAL live.
Thank you to the teachers that kicked out shadows so he could chill with rev. Formed an incredible music group
Dude that’s such a cool story!! God bless you all. By the way love your music!!
R.I.P Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan 😢🕊🦅🏞💙🤟🏽♾️🥁
No matter how big these guys got they always seem to stay completely down to earth and normal.
The Revrend Tholemew Plague!
We actually can see jimmy in this video. On matts right hand. RIP
My absolute idols
OMG Babe,That is the Best Story EVER!!!!!!!
what the fffffffffffffff fudge is my favorite snack after Bible study🤣🤣🤣
He might be got the hardest feeling about losing jimmy, known that they were the closest friend ever live
I was kicked out of my freshman English every day cause it was my first class and I always came in stoned!
I hope the rest of y’all are ok. Damn
I was also a troubled youth with some of my friends. Now being old and a parent I think man I was a douche. So now I have to teach my kids to be better and also to listen to avenged sevenfold😎
😊😊😊❤❤❤
I miss rev man
He still so handsomee and cool 🤘😭
@M.Shadows The school and the cops used to call us the "black shirt gang" 😂
Porra que triste ouvir a voz dele fraca desse jeito simplesmente falando... 😢
I skipped school in kindergarten 😅😅😅😅. To go see a girl that was sick!! 😅😅😅. Think my parents would have known something was up 😅😅😅😅
He remember me when i was a kid 😂
W CHAD M.Shadow
This adds way too much realism to the So Far Away video
I need to be in a room with this dude and or the crew. I’d love to make art with these guys. Specifically these guys
That mullet
Rip rev.
Def not a good thing to preach to the youth but he not lyin so he real for that
Imagine those “punk-ass neighbor kids” that pissed you off all the time turned out to be two members of a famous metal band and you’re sitting there like “oh shit!” 😂
I love M Shadows and Avenged Sevenfold a lot! Doesn’t he kind of look like DanTDM here lol
Y’all are such bad ass’s… kicking Down trash cans and taking down Christmas lights.. so proud
Bro they were kids 💀
he got kicked out in second grade 💀
It's meant to be an Avenged Sevenfold.
He had a pantera shirt in second grade??? if he was born in the early 80s that band was hardly even heard of by this time. Makes no sense that a kid in California would have a pantera shirt in the late 80s.
He was born in 81 and Pantera formed in 81 so by the time he was in 2nd grade Pantera was already around for 7 years old so it adds up 🤔 no?
You also have to keep in mind of the people around him when he was growing up could be a possibility that he have had a family member from texas who visited him often show him or introduced him to Pantera and gave him a shirt only way we would know is if we asked his family
@@reaperxz3ro so he had pantera merchandise in 1988 before they were even a signed band?? Makes no sense!
@@reaperxz3ro Cowboys from Hell wasn't even released yet...what was he listening to ? Power metal album? Phil Anselmo had just joined the band and they weren't even signed yet.
@@Ishbu101 I just looked up the merch from the 80's and they do in fact have merch from power metal and I am the night from their I am the night tour of 85. All of what shadows said could be very possible
I love his accent
What accent
@@grimeyhonkyracing3938 he has a california accent. over pronounced rhotic sounds compared to other american accents
@@TommyWashow oh interesting, I grew up in so cal so I guess he sounds normal to me 😅
He look a like a wrestler like Brock Lesnar when he was young. But now, he look a like Jesus Christ
beavis and butthead
is Matt still religious?
this is by far his worst haircut and hes only ever had terrible haircuts like the chats mixed with joe dirt
His bottom teeth are silver
Grills
Didn’t even notice. Ugghhh.
Actually, It's a gold grill. :):):)
@@jessicalarson3758 saw a post saying its a diamond and silver grill
Little toe rags!!!!
love them but, that shit is not kool man
My man has a bottom grill 🤘💀🤘
