@jinrex015 It's supposed to be the transition to Burn it Down. Actually, The first three songs are sort of "linked" together. Beast and the Harlot, Burn it Down, and Blinded in Chains. :P
I've been practicing this drum track for half my life and I still can't fully get it down with out getting tired. The rev wasn't a one take wonder for a reason.

I love this song so much but like what is going on with the rhythm guitar during the key change in the last chorus??? it sounds completely off and I have no idea if it is deliberate or not...... listen closely and you'll hear what i'm on about 4:45 - 5:12 you might have to pull out an earphone to hear it under the lead guitar....
Fuck I'm glad someone else noticed, I reckon it might have been left over from the demo, before they had the keychange (they added the intro and outro part in the studio) and they forgot to mute it. It's a weird as hell mistake to leave
@deanxleong do you understand what am I trying to say? define "segue" then you will know what am i talking about, beast and harlot + burn it down is like "I won't see you tonight" my theory (don't take it seriously) is it's like so long they have to cut it into 2 part, it's like a one so long song called "city of evil" cut into to songs called beast and the harlot and burn it down..... still don't get it? ignore it :D
lol they did. i think i just lost brain cells from reading that. the only cover they did was walk and they write all their own music who else could write such crazy shit,
I love when it goes straight into the riff, no dive bomb or scream. Pure badass.
Without vocals you can really hear that awesome shit clearly without any distraction yeah!
That was fucking badass 💯
0:00 there is a scream but at least its not a pig squeal like every grind core bands including waking the cadaver
@@kittenatorator9379 the intro scream is like welcome to the jungle
I really wish the audio from the music video was the album record.... so much more badass beginning and end
the rev sounds like a fucking machine gun
May his soul rest in eternal peace in hell where we all can blast heavy metal ✊
+John Mann Clearly you thought way too much about it.

Drummer: The rev
Level: GOD
Ya his a leaged
@@rubenacuna4398 leaged?
I mean he legend to be told later on
but he isn't really that good (don't get me wrong I love the rev)
@@AXCWZ Nope, he REALLY is that good.
That’s light work
3:51 One of the best things I've heard in my life.
Gives me chills 🤤
yeah came here because of the breakdowns and heard this
What i came for.
A lot of talent. Great musicians. The guitar on this song is priceless.
That snare tho
The first 4 tracks of this album and how they mesh into one another are among some of the greatest stretch of metal songs ever on an album .
This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence,
There's more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.
A city of evil.
There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head.
Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
The Beast and the Harlot.
She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
Every filthy bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh and pearls.
Her place will come all at once as mourners watch her burn.
Destroyed in an hour.
Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too.
Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky,
The Beast and the Harlot.
She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
Every filthy bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
The day has come for all us sinners.
If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground.
Flee the burning, greedy city.
Lookin' back on her to see there's nothing around.
I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell.
You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see.
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us,
You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever.
[x2:]
She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
Every filthy bird and makes us drink

Sean Lindholm I agree.
Im particular to the snare in mastodon leviathan
1:24 is the best part, that melody is iconic

This song is probably top 3 most glorious displays of The Rev’s power and skill. Possibly #1
3:50 is the best part
DrumStone So Cool!
Badum badum badum badum :P
OP snare

+David haslehoff i do

beatiful!!!
I remember the song so well I still hear the lyrics word for word, beat for beat

I fuckin love that upbeat guitar riff that plays 💯❤️🤟🏼🤟🏼
This instrumental Just shaved my balls and butt.... Damn it !!!
I. J.Huremoviczh It shaved my balls too but I don't even have any!
O....M....F.....G..... i almost passed out due to the coolness of this
@jinrex015 It's supposed to be the transition to Burn it Down.

Beast and the Harlot, Burn it Down, and Blinded in Chains. :P
This is really good!
It should have waaayyy more views.
It does now
He can still sing along to it :)
either way, he certainly played the drums for this song. this is off city of evil which was almost 2 whole albums before he passed.
Catchy song and some bad ass drumming. Very tight
I've been practicing this drum track for half my life and I still can't fully get it down with out getting tired.
The rev wasn't a one take wonder for a reason.
The Rev and the Harlot.
cool pure guitar sound!
I understand your point. My point is, that it's not "technically" 2010, is it...
my faviorte part is the guitar solo during the chorus so freaken epic XD
Love the bass pedals

This was fucking dope 💯🔥💀🙌🏼
@A7Xslipknot13 the rev is making rim shots. he does it in most of the songs so that his snare will cut thru the music.
yeah! very nice.. i like it :)
They also covered 'Flash of the Blade' - by Iron Maiden.
you're all wrong, 0:00 - 5:42 is the best part
if you click 5:42 it restarts. lol
clever boy
Burnout Revenge 🔥
Im glad they carried on as a band
I wish I could turn this up more
Best snare
they kind of did make this song? it's on their city of evil album which came out in 2005?
love your youtube name :p
I want this song to add to a new Need For Speed. It fits good for it
is this song a new recording form avenged (in studio without Matt) or it was edited by you with a programm (p.e. audacity) ??
His drumming was to DIE for.
0:26 fav part
@1:53
" My Boy Synyster Fucking GATES!! "
Thankss
Fuck that, it's badass the whole way through.

@deanxleong do you understand what am I trying to say? define "segue" then you will know what am i talking about, beast and harlot + burn it down is like "I won't see you tonight" my theory (don't take it seriously) is it's like so long they have to cut it into 2 part, it's like a one so long song called "city of evil" cut into to songs called beast and the harlot and burn it down..... still don't get it? ignore it :D
@TheSentinals101 alright you know what?
It's Key Change and Fret change,
end of story.
This is a bit late but this sounds so badass if you play it at 1.25 speed
FUCKIN AWESOME RIFF!
my theory is that 5:37 up to the end is the real intro of burn it down, i heard it too in the original Beast and the harlot
@Alpha858 Lol i just made my Stereo mix my default recording device and i use Sound Recorder to record it off youtube and i have it foreverr :P
could you possibly make a video like this but without the drums and vocals?
Guuuurrrrrrrrrrrrr
@AwvulBEATEMforce actually is not a key change... they play in other frets :D
I somehow think he figured something like that out 1 year and 11 months ago :)
sick driving tune lool
@TheSentinals101 Go see and tab goddamit,
and you see that it starts with 19 fret damn
There is a scream at the very end xD
Why is the final chorus messed up? The rhythm guitar is playing the wrong chords haha. This is not the way it is on the studio recording.
can u send me the link so i can download it?
@lethalinj3ction It's to awesome to take out >_>
lol they did. i think i just lost brain cells from reading that. the only cover they did was walk and they write all their own music who else could write such crazy shit,
Are you saying A7X didnt write this song?
1:54 My Boy Synyster Fucking Gates!!
@A7Xslipknot13 LOL, I was thinking the same exact thing! It sounds a little iffy. The Rev is still the greatest drummer ever, though.
@ps3fanboy101 Can you add download links please??
favorite part 3:50-4:22
@MindViRuSeS It's from GH Smash Hits, I have the same ¬¬
Come on you know the words erbody! :)
@inhumanrampage2006 that sounded hot! haha xD
How you make that?
download it using UA-cam to mp3. it's real easy.

what does the lyric tells us about?
They finishing lead on the intro is missing!!! :O
Why Beast and The Harlot reminds me of Doom?
