As people have already said, this was an Easter egg song for a cod zombies map called “Call of the Dead”. 935 is a group in the story and the breakdown is the zombies theme in general
So sad they dont recognize one of the most iconic piano melodies ever
@@pascaletje9 Maybe they’re not cod zombies fans. Not a big deal lol
The best zombies map lol
@@pascaletje9Foreal, surprised these nerds didn't recognize the zombie piano melody.
@@RIPJimmyA7X CAP MOB BETTER
Not Ready to Die had been written and recorded in ten days of a break of A7X's Nightmare touring in 2011 for Call Of Duty: Black Ops' Call of the Dead Zombies map, which it's an Easter egg on. Its lyrics are about an Axis research group which had existed during World War II in its storylines called Research Group 935 who had discovered an element in a meteorite called Element 115 which reanimates the dead and turns them into zombies. The group's head researcher Dr. Ludvig Maxis had used Element 115 on his daughter Samantha to make her able to control the zombies. The lyrics are written from the perspective of Dr. Edward Richtofen, a character who intends to overthrow Dr. Maxis, take control of the zombies, and rule the world. The song's piano breakdown is a sample of the Kevin Sherwood piece Damned which is main menu music of the Call of Duty: World at War Zombies map Nacht Der Untoten and is an Easter egg in other Call of Duty Zombies maps, as is referenced in the song's lyrics, "Damned! Watch the masses fall!". Arin Ilejay had joined A7X shortly into A7X's Nightmare touring after Mike Portnoy had been dismissed, and he'd composed and played drums on the song, as well as A7X's Call of Duty: Black Ops II post-credits song Carry On and A7X's album Hail to the King, before A7X's drummer since 2016 Brooks Wackerman had been hired.
I'm glad that you two love this song!!! A7X are consistently surprising, especially beyond their singles!!! Welcome to the family!!! 💀🦇
10/10 breakdown
This song was made for a Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies map "Call of the Dead". The Song is from the point of view of a character named Dr. Edward Richtofen, who was an insane Doctor (under the influence of the Dark Aether) who helped create the Zombies in game, and manipulated everyone and anything to try to get full control over Group 935 (and the world). Group 935 was a Nazi ran organization trying to do anything in their power to win World War 2 but the zombie outbreak halted everything. The piano part at 7:35 to 7:46 is the Zombies theme song "Damned", which plays when you enter into Black Ops Zombies main menu and was later made into many different versions of the song in later games.
A7X and cod had collabed for some amazing tracks. This and Carry on was really good
Don't forget about Mad Hatter
to this day, im still shocked when i remember that in a single map there was a song by Kevin Sherwood, A7X and out of all people, Skrillex
Don't forget the instrumental Jade Helm in bo3
@@SrVerataro TranZit really was something else
I love everything A7X has done for the Call of Duty franchise. This song is the one that got me to listen to their discog. Prior to this, I only really liked “Bat Country” and “Beast and the Harlot.”
Save Me is a masterpiece. Although it should be notes that Not Ready to Die is an anomaly when it comes to screaming. They don't scream nearly as much still.
That's changing with the new album it seems
Not Ready to Die had been less of an anomaly then, in retrospect. There are screams on Critical Acclaim, Afterlife, live screams after 2008, and God Hates Us on Nightmare. In 2011, Not Ready to Die had been an extension of Nightmare's rawness and boldness.
Dude save me is sooooooo fucking amazing. I could listen to it for hours
If you want crazy songs like this one, it’s hard to find similar ones like this masterpiece, but ones that take you through a roller coaster are The Stage, Trashed and Scattered, Buried Alive, god hates us, and MIA. Just some considerations 👊🏼
you're not mention like Carry On, Danger Line, Mad Hatter, Save Me, Second Heartbeat etc
@@ham-hamilhampradana3984 too much songs to mention ^^'
Definitely all of these, for meaning, energy, and complexity.
I won’t see you tonight
Also natural born killer it's like this
The drummer on this song was Arin Ilejay, same guy that did their whole hail to the king album, this dude was sick
It wasn't Mike Portnoy?
@Optic Hamster 69 No, Mike just finished recording the nightmare album, and then toured with them for a while
@@notahoagie8470 weird seeing how the song was released in 2011 you'd think Mike would've made it if he eas actively touring with them
it is Mike Portnoy, the song released in 2010 with the game, at that time, Mike Portnoy toured a short while with A7X and recorded some songs. Alin joined in 2011 as touring, and officially in 2013.@@notahoagie8470
Shepard of fire, great tune!
So more A7X Songs like that are:
Carry On (Call of Duty BO2 Campaign End)
Shepered of Fire (Call of Duty BO2 Zombies)
Hail to the King
I personally found them with Black Ops 2 and fell in love with their style.
I loved the Zombies Map that this song was tied to in CoD Black Ops!! So much nostalgia tied to it, and totally surprised that this was a WE react! Awesome!
Avenged Sevenfold - MIA 🔥
If you want more of this Avenged Sevenfold then you MUST listen to Save me and Chapter 4. Thank me later! Great reaction btw guys!
Save Me is their best piece of work IMO. You will not be dissapointed.
@@zachp1051 Save Me, MIA, and Danger Line are really good as well !
@@SolracAA And Critical Acclaim I forgot to mention!
Save me is GOATed, prob their best song ever
They deserve bonus points if they'll react to Chapter Four's demo as well!!!
This has got to be the best reaction I've seen yet. At 7:45 when it slows and Kyle gets taken aback by the power chord followed by Eric's "NO WE'RE DOING THAT AGAIN" actually had me laughing and bursting with anticipation for the reaction like I was literally showing my friend on my phone. Fantastic video gents!
I believe this was their middle drummer Aaron. He came after the Rev but before Brooks Wackerman. Definitely one of their best songs even if they just made it for an easter egg in a video game
It's wild that they'd written and recorded it in ten days. A few of their biggest and simplest singles had taken them much longer to work out.
@@chrismeadows4216 I think it has a lot to do with the fact that they had more freedom with creating the songs for COD. Record labels like to keep a tight leash on what’s released for the radio unfortunately.
Yes it was Arin Ilejay. But he was after Portnoy and before Brooks. This was recorded in April of 2011. Portnoy was only in the band to finish the Nightmare album and played for them during the tour that year. After that they got Arin
I thought it was Portnoy, but the drum pattern isn't like him at all.
Then I assume it was someone else.
I don't really know who's the drummer during this recording.
no it was Mike Portnoy, he was there for a little while before Arin joined. the Double bass drum is clearly him@@dragulia_venaro
One of my favorite songs by them and one of the best EE songs in CoD. Great reaction!
A7X is one of the bands I have always wanted to see live but never had the chance.
They are going to be touring with FiR in the fall and hope I am able to go to the show!
I got some free tickets to see Metallica at the start of their Hardwired tour. Wasn't really going to go but I saw A7X was opening for them. Went to Philly, and was sitting there in the bleachers when I found out Syn's wife had gone into labor the night before and the band had flown back to CA. I mean, fair enough, but I was sad. Concert was good though, so it worked out.
I will have to look into the FiR tour, I love them too.
I've seen them twice. Wasn't a huge fan in 05 until I saw their cover of walk. They put on a good show for sure.
If you enjoyed this song, i think second heartbeat would be right up your alley personally. That song is from their waking the fallen years and it is one of their best in my opinion. Glad to see people appreciate this song as the absolute masterpiece it is.
Second Heartbeat is my favorite song from them as well
Yes!
And I can't stress this enough, a lyrics video of the studio version. The Live at The LBC performance of it's a verse and a breakdown shorter, and they're an iconic verse and an iconic breakdown.
In their new song "We Love You", m shadows has a screaming part and it sounds great
This song was made for call of duty zombies call of the dead so 935 is story related.
Metal drummers are mad impressive! So so good.
Hardcore heavy drums are my favorite aspect of metal. If there are heavy drums in a song, chances are I’m probably going to like it.
SAVE ME! SAVE ME! That song is such a masterpiece... It's another "long but doesn't feel like it" one. If you like Syn, you'll love the guitar work on that one!
If you liked this, the Nightmare album is for you. Save Me is arguably their best piece of art, God Hates Us and Natural Born Killer are thrashy asf, and while fiction is a departure from the heavy sound, the content is simply incredible.
Other incredible heavy picks, Chapter Four, Unholy Confessions, and I Won't See You Tonight Part 1 and Part 2 (listen to them both at the same time one immediately after the other, they play into one another)
935 - Refers to Group 935, a military research group that created nazi zombies in the CoD zombies story line
and yes this was after The Rev's passing, I believe this is Aaron I. on drums
Gotta do "Shepard of Fire" 🔥
one of my favorite songs with unholy confessions , the wicked end and the stage
Where they break after the solo is actually the zombies theme, and they incorporate it so amazingly
Man, the nostalgia bro. My entire childhood was grinding COD. Competitive MW3, B02, and BO. Bro zombies was so fun with my online friends dude. I play this when I play BO3 zombies to get rush like when I was a kid lol
Definitely check out "I won't see you tonight part 1 & 2" and their new song "We Love You.
The piano sequence is from Call of Duty World at War Zombie mode 🖤🤘
There is no Not ready to Die part 2
@@lambofgod0086 I was thinking of the wrong song
@@Paul_TheOutcast probably thinking of Carry On from the next COD after this was released.
@@lambofgod0086 I was thinking of "I won't see you tonight"
@MeAgainstYou I won't see you tonight part 1 and 2 are amazing tracks....your right on that!
0:05 that PO Box sign looks a lot like something that would appear in a NESN broadcast for a Red Sox game
Damn this is a deep cut to react to!
935 is a big in the call of duty zombies story line. And this drummer was Arin Ilejay. I think this was his first song that he wrote the drums for with Avenged.
The drummer in this song is Arin Ilejay I believe.
you might like the Waking the fallen and Hail to the King albums, god hates us is an amazing song off the Nightmare album as well.
I personally think everyone can find a song or 2 that they like, Avenged is just so well rounded and have done so many styles
SHEPHERD OF FIRE!!!
I love that Synyster Gates pisses off Eric in a good way every time. “We get it, you can play” 🤣🤣
Boys, check out anything from sounding the seventh trumpet or waking the fallen those are their first two albums and they are absolute fire. Unholy confessions is one of the top tracks. Hope this helps!
The majority of Nightmare is this style. Hail to the King is still punchy like this, but much more simplified and more Metallica-esque. The Stage is just a left turn and is very complex, but Goddamn is the ashy and awesome! Check out more of their stuff!
I think Kyle would be comfortable listening to songs avenged sevenfold produced from years 2003-2010 so basically choose songs from albums: waking the fallen, city of evil, self titled album, diamonds in the rough.
Here are some song recommendations:
Desecrate through reverence
Second heartbeat
Remenissions
Radiant eclipse
And all things will end
Burn it down
Trashed and scattered
The wicked end
Strength of the world
Almost easy
Brompton cocktail
Demons
Crossroads
Dancing dead
Welcome to the family
Natural born killer
God damn
God hates us (live at rock am ring 2011)
Also "save me" is an absolute masterpiece even thou it's not fast tempo with lots of screams
I believe this is Aaron for the drums. He is actually my stepfathers nephew. He happened to be practicing in the same studio that A7X came to record in. They heard him and brought him over to run the recordings with them and then invited him to join. All of the Hail to the king album was with him as the drummer!
This was my first introduction to A7X when I played call of the dead. And ever since then they personally have been my favourite band of all time. Not saying they are the best but they are my favourite and this song will always hold a special place in my hearts. Me and the homies just slaying zombies while head bopping to this song!❤❤❤
You guys should definitely listen to Shepherd of Fire. It’s one of my favorites and it also was used in COD zombies lol
This was post Rev the last album he drummed on was Nightmare released in 2010. The Rev died in '09 R.I.P Knifemaster
When musical exploration is this expansive, I never complain about musicians playing longer songs.
Hope to see you both react to their new album (Life Is But A Dream)
Also they have a ton of songs I would highly recommend such as Buried Alive, So Far Away, The Stage, Sunny Disposition, and a bunch of others
Highly recommend the Diamonds in the Rough album from Avenged Sevenfold
The drummer on this track is Arin Illejay I believe
I llove Avenged sevenfold and I listen to them in memory of Rev
I had to look it up because you guys got me curious, but I'm pretty sure I know what "controlling 935" means.
It turns out the song is sung from the POV of Dr. Richtofen from COD Zombies. I won't put his whole story on here, but basically he was a part of Group 935 who created the zombies.
this is the sound that I love from them, I am not so sure about the newer stuff....maybe it'll grow on me but 🤘🖤🎶☠ on this one!!!
Although I enjoy the majority of Avenged Sevenfold, but Save Me is a hell of a ride and definitely recommend it for your reactions!
Drummer at the background is Arin Ilejay and Arin fills an album Hail To The King
IIRC the drummer on this song is Arin Ilejay, he also did the drums on 4AM and Carry On
1. This song was made for the Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies DLC map "Call of the Dead" (which featured Danny Trejo, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Robert Englund, and Michael Rooker as the map's player characters, as well as George A. Romero, the godfather of zombies himself as the map's special boss zombie).
2. This song marked the beginning of Avenged Sevenfold's relationship with Treyarch, as they continued to make music for Treyarch's Call of Duty games through Black Ops 4.
- Nightmare (not made for Call of Duty as "Not Ready to Die" was, but is featured on Black Ops 1's final DLC Zombies map, "Moon")
- Carry On (Black Ops II, as a campaign mode post-credit bonus)
- Jade Helm (Black Ops III, as a musical background score for Zombies mode)
- Mad Hatter (Black Ops 4, secret song on the "IX" Zombies map)
I believe Avenged Sevenfold had planned to make music for Black Ops 5 (Cold War), but COVID got in the way (and personally, I hope they come back for Black Ops 6 next year).
3. Avenged Sevenfold's drummer was Arin Illejay at this point in time. He was their first official drummer after the death of Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan (as Mike Portnoy's work in the studio for them was voluntary, and his time with them live was as a touring drummer). Illejay was replaced shortly after the Hail to the King era by Brooks Wackerman, their current drummer.
- The Rev passed away in late 2009. Mike Portnoy stepped in to finish recording the Nightmare album with A7X, touring with them as their drummer until they found a permanent one.
- Arin Illejay was their new drummer by 2011, and stayed until around 2015, when the Hail to the King era ended.
- Illejay was replaced by current drummer Brooks Wackerman for 2016's The Stage album.
3:00 The screams in this song are *NOT* M. Shadows. They're actually from Johnny Christ, the bass player.
And unfortunately, aside from Carry On and the Hail to the King album, this was the last of Avenged Sevenfold's usual sound. The Stage was very, as people call it "progressive", and the newest album "Life is But a Dream" took that even farther down the wrong direction.
Forgot how much of a masterpiece this was. This came out during their prime for cod zombies! They wrote it in like two days
If you liked this song, you would love M.I.A, definitely a must in avenged sevenfold repertory 🤟
This is the only song I can listen to nonstop for the rest of my life
shepherds of fire and hail to the king are great ones
i absolutely love when it breaks into the zombies theme
So this is Arin Illejay on drums. I love his style and he wrote the drums for the hail to the king album but the band eventually loved on from his and introduced brooks wakerman. This is also a song made for call of duty zombies so the 9-3-5 reference is to cod zombies! This is my favorite song by the band!
The whole nightmare album is like this. For example God Hates Us and Natural Born Killer have the same sound
This was Arin Ilejay, who was the replacement for the Rev after his passing. He worked with them and was the drummer on the hail to the king album. He then departed the band due to "creative differences", and was replaced with Brooks Wackerman who is their current drummer
Arin was way more cymbal heavy, i really hated Hail to the King because of that. Arin did not used kickdrums really well, and it made the whole album powerless to me. This drummer is not like him at all... i wish he was that aggressive on the album too... nonetheless, new avenged is too meh... :D
@@Pufferzsola, M. Shadows and Synyster Gates had directed most of Arin's drumming on Hail to the King. They'd wanted him to play specific groove-oriented styles which would suit their classic-styled compositions. It hadn't been his decision to not use many kickdrum patterns on it. The most they'd allowed him to play on Hail to the King is on Planets.
@@chrismeadows4216 that is sad...
You should listen to Carry on and Shepherd of fire
This song made me a fan back in 2011 🔥💀
was fun to see Johnny Christ try and do the screaming bits the few times they did this song live back in the day
Give “ carry on “ a chance!
"Buried Alive" is an absolute must!!
“Controlling 935” was a reference to the cod zombies video game. In the game, Group 935 was the one who unleashed this zombie apocalypse after experimenting with a mysterious material from a meteorite called Element 115.
I wish I could listen to every A7X track all over again, every last one was a finely crafted masterpiece
The drummer was Arin Ilejay
A7X is one of my favorite bands. "Buried Alive" is one of my favorites. Now this is up there. Thanks Dudes🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The drummer was Arin Ilejay, he was the drummer for this song and the hail to the king album, unfortunately hail to the king was m8st dialed back on the drums, so that's how people remember his playing. But this song showcases what he could really do
I believe. Don’t quote me. People will correct me. But I believe when they say “controlling 935” was one of the zombie experiments in call of duty
Every song they did for call of duty back in the day was absolute heat!
Ngl Eric's face in the thumbnail is GOLDEN
Something I don’t see mentioned yet is that the screaming is done by Johnny Christ, their bassist, and not M Shadows the main vocalist. You can see Johnny doing the screaming bits in concert.
I love your reaction to Avenged Sevenfold
Damn the whispering part made my skin crawl
arin illejay did the drum for this song i believe, this song came around 2011, after portnoy's departure illejay has been chosen to fill the drum for their upcoming tours
yes this was Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan playing drums in this album he passed on December 28th of 2009 and he played the following albums for avenged seven fold Sounding the Seventh Trumpet (2001)
Waking the Fallen (2003)
City of Evil (2005)
Avenged Sevenfold (2007)
Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough (2008) i am a fellow drummer as well and ive played for 8 to 9 years now and jimmy is one of my biggest inspirations and i love his drumming and you two should watch the behind the scenes to the song little peace of heaven jimmy did a lot of the song also can you guys please do more avenged seven fold
Nope Jimmy had already passed by the time this came out. Arin played on this
Remenissions, natural Born Killer, fermi paradox, chapter four. You need to hear it, incredible songs
Grat video guys.
What’s sad is this is really the only song like this that they’ve made and that’s what makes it both unique and extremely sad. I have yet to find another song comes close to this level of musical control.
I’d be happy to take recommendations if anyone has any
I think you guys would enjoy the sound and lyrical content of the song M.I.A. by this band.
7:56 bro that freaken climb man! That is the moment players start tearing through the hordes of zombies in game
Fun fact this song as stated in other comments is a black ops 1 zombies gamemode song and it actually narrates the apocalypse through the eyes and mind of Dr Edward Richthofen a nazi German scientist sent by the illuminati to infiltrate group 935 a nazi scientist group working on wonder weapons teleporters and super soldiers using the element 115
If this is what you want to hear from them probably check out any from the Nightmare album and work back from there. After that things get weird. I like what they're doing now too, but it's different.
So, the timeframe for drummers goes like this.
The Rev, everything up through the self titled (white) album. He passed away as they were wrapping up the song writing for Nightmare.
Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy, who the Rev liked a lot, took over and played for the studio recordings of Nightmare. He toured with them as well, but there was a disconnect where he thought he was "in", and actually quit Dream Theater. But A7X was still considering it a temporary thing. They went their separate ways with no hard feelings on either side as far as I know. Nightmare's drums were mostly worked out by the Rev, Portnoy worked off of his notes and did a great job IMO. I kinda wish he had stayed on since he would be perfect for the more prog rock direction they've gone to now.
Then Arin Illjay was with them for Hail to the King, which is roughly when this track was recorded. He was ok, but honestly I wasn't sad to see him go.
Brooks Wackerman took over at that point and is their current drummer. I like him a lot, he seems to be able to play a lot of different styles which is good for the direction they've been going since The Stage.
The song was made for Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies. 9-3-5 is an important part of the game. Also the piano sequence is the main soundtrack for zombies. But yeah A7X has done a few songs for COD zombies and they’re all great. The other 2 they’ve done are Carry On and Mad Hatter. All great, but Not Ready To Die was the first and definitely the best.
They made another one for bo3
i always attribute my love of metal to slowly getting into harder music after i first loved pop punk but i remember first hearing avenged sevenfold when i was super young. i love em and its probably them who really got me intrigued even if the album i mostly heard at the time was their worst one
Shoong ~~~!!!
You guys should definitely do some avenged sevenfold live in the lbc. It's amazing. You guys r great love the channel.
they have a brand new song called "We Love You" that I think you guys would enjoy
Mad Hatter by Avenged Sevenfold is quite an interesting song, I'd also recommend listening to Chapter Four or Second Heartbeat from the Waking the Fallen album, or literally anything from the Nightmare album!
Save Me, God Hates Us, Exist, The Stage, those are just some of their most epic songs. I know there's more those are just the ones that come to mind.
Very underrated song
If this is what your looking for, you may not like their new album that’s coming out, but there is a good bit like this in their older stuff. Their new song gave me some rush vibes but it’s different.
i believe that mike portnoy was the drummer on this track based on it being released on black ops 1 in 2010
i've been binging your Falling in Reverse, LET ME TELL YOU : I LOVE ALL OF THEM.
thanks for the joy you guys bring, much love!
"Metal Head" before every metal video: I have never really been into them 😂😂
You guys should to hear Dancing Dead, Crossroads, Demons, Lost it All
Adorooo ❤👏🏼💥🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Oh my, if you wanna hear Shadows scream, try watching "God hates us" live in Rock am Ring 2011!
Oooooh Buried Alive, Buried Alive, Buried Alive!!!!
