Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage
Music video for full context!
Go go go.....!!
Lol this song was definitely a one-off thing. It showcases A7X's many talents.
I do recommend Buried Alive its more normal and metal i guess
Okay, good to know lol. I'll definitely have to give one of their more standard songs a listen at some point.
@@MattFarkas dude they have whole lot of talent and variety. Nightmare , so far away , hail to the king and many more
@@mikeysano3213 U named literally the 3 most basics songs of them, they have better songs.
@@mikeysano3213 you're just scratching the surface -.-
Not ready to die by avenged sevenfold. You won't regret it. Awesome transitions and was written in 4 days for the COD black ops zombie map. Hope u give it a listen.
What songs have you heard from them before?
I think that, vocally, you will like any song from their albums "Self-Titled", "Nightmare" or "Hail To The King".
I recommend you: "Buried Alive", "Save me", "Nightmare" or "Shepherd of Fire" for example to start. I think that with these songs you will start to like the band.
I don't know which specific songs I've heard, but I'll certainly be reacting to more! Thanks for the suggestions.
Avenged Sevenfold songs are mostly very different from each other, and singles don't usually express that as well as the deep cuts that wouldn't be played on the radio.
Steve Bartek, who composes a lot of Danny Elfman scores for Tim Burton films, is responsible for the orchestral arrangements here.
I'm entirely sure of what you're looking for vocally. If you're interested in giving the extra nasally music another shot, A7X did a great song called Strength of the World on their album City of Evil. It's a vaquero revenge story, and very cinematic. If you can adjust to the extra quirky vocals on that, you can adjust to them all.
If you want something from this 2007-2010 era that has really clear tone and incredible atmosphere, I highly recommend the songs Crossroads and Save Me. You'll probably grow to really like this band.
I should also tell you about their early years. Their first 2 albums have mostly screamed vocals. From those, Darkness Surrounding and Clairvoyant Disease are great songs that represent the albums well. If you're into metalcore, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet and Waking the Fallen are the albums for you.
why would you recommend strength of the world or save me? they're just4like ALPOH bc they are so different from each section to the next. How bout some shit like Blinded in Chains, Bat country, MIA, Afterlife, UC, SH, C4
"This song is 2% different than what I like, therefore I must gatekeep". This song is a masterpiece.
I’ve listened to the song so many times and didn’t see the video until today. OH MY GOD I DIDN’T EXPECT THAT
😂😂😂
Little Piece of Heaven is definitely not the song to start off someone’s dive into the band, you gotta build to it. I’d recommend Nightmare, Exist, or The Stage. Definitely The Stage or Exist if you’re coming from a guitarist perspective
Saw them perform this live in Long Beach for their encore and it was awesome!
Have to say, this is a great song for a reaction video. Not a great re-introduction to the band, but entertaining for us. Thanks. I hope you you do a reaction video to one of their normal songs at some point though.
I definitely think I was suggested this one purely for my reaction to it being weird, but I would like to listen to more A7X soon.
Goota appreciate the masterpiece art
Next song Danger Line or Seize The Day by Avenged please🙏🏻
My biggest reason why i love Avenged sevenfold more than the other bands is the singer.
I'm used to listen to metallica, bullet for my valentine, asking Alexandria, linkin park, dream Theater, system of a down, Slipknot, trivium etc (please suggest me other bands), but no other bands that i mentioned have special voice like M. Shadow.
That bands above are my favourite bands tho, but still, m.shadow voice is the best among them. He is so versatile. He sings different every album.
I’m agree! M. Shadows vocal is hard loud powerful
In my opinion this song is a masterpiece.
I dont know why but I find it funny that you picked a song that has very little guitar in it compared to there other songs. But if your thinking of listening to another one of their songs I'd recommend buried alive, afterlife, or beast and the harlot
It is kinda funny, thinking about it. Haha. I always do first time reactions, so I have no idea what to expect going in. This was just one a friend of mine suggested to me.
"Language maybe" lol
Avenged Sevenfold - MIA
one off.. an amazing off tho but the rev (drummer who passed away since) is the one who composed it as a request from the rest of the band. He decided to compose a zombi love story :D
It'll grow on you, trust me.
i believe you should watch 'live at the lbc 2008'. its their best live performance in my opinion
You will love Save Me.
This is probably one of the songs that made a change for A7F fans
This was a one time thing style wise lol. Bit of fun from the band. If you want something a little more metal with a relatively normal complex, check out Save Me, Almost Easy, Afterlife or even Nightmare
I personally believe "Buried Alive" is their best, but opinions vary wildly. As a guitar guy, you may enjoy "Dancing Dead". It has some really fun riffs. "A Little Piece of Heaven" really is a fantastic song musically. It was meant to be a Halloween party song for adults.
You should listen to M.I.A by them. It's off my favorite album city of evil and it's a masterpiece. It's a song about a soldier experiencing the atrocities of war (PTSD) and his own moral dilemma: "am I on the right side?" The lyrics are so powerful.
You must react to some of their newer stuff like The Stage or Exist. A little piece of heaven was a wild product of their former drummer Jimmy "The Rev" O. Sullivan. May he rest in peace. You can see the making of the song here on youtube.
They’re older stuff was the best they did in my opinion.
@@Spart1269 Their albums are so different, but still you can tell "That is a A7X-album" I like the older stuff best too.
You should watch the video for The Stage, you will probably like that one.
the wicked end 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Haha, I've thoroughly enjoyed your face expression during the clip and I really do appreciate you speaking your mind when you're not a fan something, it's not common anymore for some reason :) This band didn't catch me too before and this one sounded like a weird combo of ska and SOAD (not a fan of neither), so really probably bad luck for songs..
The concept was fun though, did enjoy it and just for that made open to check some other stuff from them :) Albeit I do like the "Everybody Dies!" concept better from Ayreon (nudge, nudge, wink wink :D )
Thanks Honza! I definitely feel honesty is best when doing these. It's no fun lying, even if I do find myself up against the pitchforks every now and then with these videos. 😂
You should check the "a little piece of heaven breakdown" Video. You would be amaze 🙏😁🤘
It's a one off. I would suggest watching the video where they talk about the making of Little Piece of Heaven. It's on UA-cam. It's a weird song, but watching how it came about helps. I'm a huge Avenged fan and it took me a few tries to even like this song. Most of their music is great!
Cool, I'll definitely give them another chance!
This song is a fan favorite even though is not for everyone and less for a person trying to like them 😂😂 react to Buried Alive it’s one of my favorites ❤️
I know people want a pure reaction from this but damn lol.. They could've at least recommended you well coming from this song anything else in their arsenal before this haha
lol, yeah, this was a bit of a shocker. I had no idea what to expect! Planning on another A7X video with a more popular song soon. ✌
The thing is you didn't really react to the actual song, you seemed too invested in the visuals. Sure the music video is weird, but the song is the butter AND bread here...
The composition is pure brilliance. The harmonies, the brass and string sections, the playfull keyboard parts, the freaking 8 minute marathon of creativity. Would have been nice if you, by commenting on anything else but the visual story elements, showed that you were actively paying attention to the production, instruments and vocals.
It's their Bohemian Rhapsody and with good reason.
With 10.000+ views you got extremely few reactions - it really didn't give us anything. You just sat there and were like "that's weird". I can accept you having other views, but judging the music by commenting on the unpleasant cartoon is dull...
Buried Alive or The Stage would probably be two of their songs you would like much more! This song is not their standard. If I remember right, for this song they told their drummer to just write something crazy and this weird ass song was the masterpiece he came up with haha. I don’t really listen to this song much, mostly just to get reactions from other people, but you gotta appreciate the song for what it is. Yes it’s very weird but it’s definitely produced, written, and done very well. There’s a live version of it that they NAILED. You can just watch it on your own time if you want. Love or hate the band, they’re talented
you should check out coming home by avenged sevenfold
Now this is a proper underrated track to react to!
If you get past the topic it a musical masterpiece...
What a lot of people don’t get is that she never actually said no. He never gave her the chance listen to the lyrics and you’ll see that he killed her because of the possibility that she would say no.
Definitely a one off for them. It was supposed to be a part of a Halloween EP that never came to production. I strongly recommend the stage, or save me. I think you’d appreciate those as a guitar player.
Songs for lover. By dirty loop (s)?
Just to give it a little background, this is from their first self-produced album, Avenged Sevenfold (aka The White Album, aka Self-Titled), and they were all like 24 when they made their self-titled album, so they were doing a ton of crazy shit that they were laughing at then, but turned out to be fan favorites and some of their most impressive songs. Well as far as impressive can go for a bunch of 24 year olds lol. Their late drummer, Jimmy ‘The Rev’ Sullivan, wrote this song, as well as 2 other songs off of that album (Afterlife and Almost Easy). Almost Easy has some great drumming from Jimmy with some pretty progressive aspects and techniques (The Double-Ride to be specific), and Jimmy recorded the drums for that song in one take as well. Avenged Sevenfold actually have a video of him doing the single take on their UA-cam channel if you’re interested in checking it out.
I think a more, uh, 'normal' A7X song is probably due for a listen. Definitely want to give them a fair shake and from what I've read this song is a bit of an outlier. Thanks for the comment and info!
@@MattFarkas if you want ‘normal’ then I would suggest Nightmare, Buried Alive, Hail to the King, or Unholy Confessions. The first two seem the be the most popular suggestions in the comments for this video. And they also have a song dedicated to The Rev called “So Far Away” if you’re interested in that as well.
A7x-Sidewinder
The Rev wrote it and they involved some Oingo Boingo folk. Way more to it than this shallow look at it or any A7X for that purpose.
Very interesting song to start off reacting to by avenged sevenfold haha
This is the first video I decided to watch....and the video was not very visible. If others can show it without issue - so can you. A7X is my absolute favorite...and they are VERY versatile. You just have to be willing to listen to the different songs they have out there. I have the deathbat on my Wrangler and on my motorcycle. Take notice of my face covering on my profile thumbnail. Not alot of people like this video because its so brutal or offensive...but loyal fans like me love it. But technically, you should have dove into other songs of theirs before this one. Try "Buried Alive" or Bat Country" or "Beast & The Harlot" or "Afterlife." Its a little more screamo/metal core in their early years though.
Oh sweet Jesus, did nobody warn you?!? 🤦🏼♀️ Little Piece of Heaven is a bit of a cult fan favourite live, but it's... It's a Halloween song made in the spirit of Mr Bungle and oh god. Please, please give them another chance with perhaps Afterlife (solid melodic hard rock), Buried Alive, Almost Easy, Unholy Confessions (if you like more screaming), or Paradigm. Oh god, as a 15+ yr avenged fan I'm so sorry 😂🤦🏼♀️
I promise I'll react to at least one more A7X song. 😝 Want to give them a fair shake.
@@MattFarkas oh thank god, LOL. Jesus wept, I love avenged and have for so many years, and but too many fans out there trolling reaction UA-camrs with Little Piece of Heaven 🤦🏼♀️ thanks man, hope you love whatever you end up picking, I'm looking forward to it!!
NICE REACT NEXT PLEASE AFTERLIFE , THE STAGE , NIGHTMARE BY A7X
Huh first time hearing this song???! HUH!? Especially being into rock!??????????
Rock is a big wide world. No one knows every song by every band. 😛
You must be one of those delicate "metal heads". I use that term loosely. Metal and Horror? A MASTERPIECE!. They are all brilliant, but the Rev? Genius!! R.I.P. the Rev. Maybe stick with puddle of Mudd or Justin beiber, I hear they are delicate too. Trade those guitars for maybe a flute, that's delicate like you too! You'll feel better buttercup.
I do love me a kickass flute solo...
Danger Line,Gunslinger,M.I.A
It’s easy to get lost in the visuals of the video, but concentrate a lot on the musicality of what they’re doing here
This was a Halloween song just saying, I’d recommend critical acclaim live in the LBC, they’re even better live
I respect your taste in music. You look a bit close minded tho ☺️. Ego? lol
No, not ego. This song just wasn't my thing. Willing to listen to more from A7X though! I've heard this song is a lot different than most of their music.
I mainly listen to them for nostalgia, however they are definitely a very creative band (especially considering how mainstream they are) and also most the guitar solos slap. I also think they are a better rock band than metal band (sorry if this offends anyone), I prefer their more rock influenced songs.
Can you react to Exist from The Stage album? It's either plain boring or magnificent. I leave it for you to decide 🙂. Subbed✅
Please next reaction avenged sevenfold - afterlife live lbc 🙏🙏😭😭😭
You say that you think that "most metal guys have heard of the band Avenged Sevenfold". Ya think?? Their last 3 albums premiered at NUMBER ONE on the Billboard top 200. Most "metal guys" know dozens of songs by them by heart.
I know they're popular, but metal is a very popular and diverse genre, so you can't really assume every metal fan is a hardcore A7X fan, now can you?
It has a parental advisory warning... language maybe?
Yeah that'll be it...
🤣
this is just a one-off "let's just do the weirdest shit we can imagine." Most of the song was thought up on a weekend trip the band took, and it was meant to be released as a single for halloween
Shitty song to react to first lol
Fermi Paradox would be a great one to react to the guitarists composition
So you're a metal guitarist, and not a huge fan of these guys? Synester Gates is one of the most insanely talented guitarists on the planet, and so melodic and tasteful
It's not because of the guitar playing, the singing is usually the thing that has turned me off in the past. Willing to give them a fair shake though!
@@MattFarkas fair enough. I don't care for his nasally voice. Though when he belts, he's pretty powerful. I'd suggest buried alive, afterlife, nightmare, and critical acclaim, live in the lbc
Gunslinger
Come on it's a bit romantic 😹 it's just a messed up love but a real love for all the eternity.
The worst song to introduce someone to Avenged Sevenfold. Oh well. You experienced the 'worst', as in the most disturbing one xD. Normally, this is not their sound nor their subject matter. It's been quite a while since you reacted to them. You should try reacting to them again.
They have developed different styles throughout the years.
I suggest trying M.I.A. It's one of their best songs imo. It has no music video, so a lyric video should do.
Yeah, I've heard similar sentiments from others. I'll do another A7X song eventually!
I think you managed to catch the single worst avenged sevenfold song to get into them
I've heard that from some others. Need to listen to more!
