anyone: "guitars cant sing"
Synyster Gates (in every A7X song): "hold my beer"
Laughs in polyphia
The man is a monster.

I almost spit out my food HAHAHAHAHA
😂😂😂
They weren't just a band. They were best friends. They grew up together, and that's why the loss of The Rev hit them so hard.
"I dunno why solos and just hearing intricate guitar parts make me so happy bro"
That is a sign that you have become just as much a metal-head as a hip-hop head... Welcome to the club.
Welcome to the family*
@@irialamasfernandez546 we are nothing less than that, a family!
Cazial it’s a song ya goof
as somebody said its "Welcome to the family"
Timber Wolf guitar solos are the story of my life!! And Synyster definitely has some of the very best!!
The Rev died due to an enlarged heart back in 2009. He helped write a lot of lyrics for that album and wrote all of the drum parts but died before recording started, so they recorded the album in his honor with Mike Portnoy (The Revs favorite drummer) on drums. Fun fact for ya, they incorporated Jacobs Ladder into the video because it was The Revs favorite movie. The drum kit at the end of the video was The Revs triple bass kit from the 2008 Taste of Chaos tour.
He died of a drug overdose not the enlarged heart. Enlarged heart would have killed him at some point but he died of drug od. Intentional if you ask me but that's just speculation.
If I remember correctly the reports said it was like a combination of the 2 but I could be wrong. The enlarged heart was starting to become really painful for him though. It was ruled as accidental.
@@Grxvestoned It was the medication he took for his enlarged heart mixed with alcohol that was the official reason that killed him. People who say he killed himself are fucking morons.
The whole album is a tribute to the rev. Not the song. The actual tribute song to the Rev is 'so far away'.
Have you listened to "Fiction"? That is the actual tribute.
@@instincthype3630i think the tribute song for the Rev is so far away. fiction is actually a song titled "death" that the Rev finished the song 3 days Before he die so not physically a tribute song since the Rev is still alive and take his part at the song.that is just what i think,don't hate
@@zsr1352 Not hating. I think Fiction is the tribute due to the fact that Matthew was thinking about keeping the song unreleased. Then he took to the studio and added his own vocals into the song. Also I saw them in concert and he said and I quote "This is for Jimmy" then they play fiction. Take it how you will but from personal experience I say it is the tribute.
So there can only be 1? Why all the this song is The tribute, no this song is The tribute. Who says there can only be 1 tribute song.
This is not the greatest drummer in the world
This is just a tribute!
(hope you get the reference)
Avenged Sevenfold was the band that got me in to Metal, love that band
Sigve Hasund same here bro
Sucks that there are alot of assholes in metal community who says they aint metal
Sigve Hasund It was disturbed for me
Y'all are making me feel old. It was Pantera in the weight room after football practice
@@charleysage5827 me too bro lol
People that claim this band is nothing but pop have never played an instrument. (also probably haven't listened to the early albums)
"I have a thing for little girls" i cAckLeD- 😂
YOU WHAT?!?!- Spongebob squarepants. 😂😂😂😂
The whole album was written before jimmy passed away, they added in So Far Away and changed some lyrics in songs, but Nightmare was kept the same because Jimmy loved the song the way it was.
Titanium Gaming003 No it wasn't... Victim was written about his death aswell, and I'm pretty sure Tonight The World Dies was written after he passed away...
Some of the songs were written after he passed away. He never even got to record them in the studio. Portnoy had to because the Rev passed away too early in the writing process for this album.
Titanium Gaming003 thank you!!!!!
The last song rev wrote was fiction.
ALittlePieceofSyn ya that's true. I'm almost positive that's the case and the band changed the name. He had an enlarged heart and knew he was about to die so, ppl think( its actually pretty oblivious to me) that he knew he was gonna have a long painful death soon and he took a " brompton cocktail" and it was his " note " to the band and the fans. The creepiest and saddest part to me is hearing his voice on it.
So far away by avenged sevenfold!! Its another tribute to jimmy, alot more subtle but all as good!
''So Far Away''*
Tyius yuup, thanks man.
Lol not as good wayyyy better than nightmare
This song wasnt actually a tribute per se anymore than the entire album basicly. Nightmare was more or less finished when he passed away, and it was in fact one of his favorites for the new album. So he was very much around when creating it, just not for actually recording it. The band decided to finish this song and all the others on the Nightmare album for him more or less. Most of the songs were more or less "done" (not all parts) Nightmare being one of them, just not recorded when he passed. They were just about to start recording the album when he passed. The video however was obviously aimed for him :)
So far away was actually also almost finished. As it was originally a song created in tribute to Syn's grandfather by Syn and actually Jimmy aswell (he helped out). But it was then finished and dedicated to Jimmy instead. So on the Nightmare album "So far away" is actually the only song added to the album just as a tribute. The rest were already planned. St. James on the "hail to the king" album is also a song created just as a tribute to Jimmy (hence the name)
Edit: there are actually drumtracks to this song played by Jimmy himself from the creation phase so to speak.
So far away is not subtle at all. The entire video is the Rev!
A severely underrated A7X song that I'd recommend is "Critical Acclaim"
I LOVE that song
That so g is very political idk if he'd show it on here
Very powerful song. 🤘
Yes please
@@dainedaicho OH FUCK YES
R.I.P JIMMY 'THE REV' SULLIVAN

”I HAVE A THING FOR LITTLE GIRLS” - Alex Hefner 2018
- Kristoffer - I died 😂💀
Do NOT react to Babymetal after this video.
HAHAHAHA fuckin dead
I lost it. I think that was the only time a laughed today.
3:40
Alex: I have a thing for little girls
fish: YOU WHAT?!
The FBI has joined the chat
Alex: i have a thing for little girls
U.S. Gov: F.B.I. OPEN UP!!!!
Nightmare wasn’t the dedication song my guy.....it was so far away
yea i know can tell he don't listen to a7x much
So Far Away was written by Syn before The Rev died. The song is about Syn's grandfather. The video is a tribute to Jimmy. Their tribute to Jimmy was Fiction(written by Jimmy before he died) and St James
It was on the same album and it kinda woulda made more sense if it was due to the lyrics.....whoops??🤔
Curtis Conway also incorrect. If you delve deeper, the meaning behind So Far Away shifted away from Brian’s grandfather and toward Jimmy. And they’ve stated multiple times that every song in Nightmare is in tribute to Jimmy
Kyle Vaughan the significance of the song doesnt mean the song wasnt written about Syns grandfather. If the song was written before Jimmy's passing, you cant say it was written about him. In tribute is not the same as about. Natural Born Killer is a perfect example. You cant twist the meaning of the lyrics to Jimmys death.
"Ooo that's a funky ass voice though" yeah that's what I thought in the beginning of listening to him and now I think hes one of the best voices I've listened to in my opinion
Yeah seriously, put me off for a long time but then I got over it. Way over it
Yes i realy love the stage album. Faack they still killing it.
I absolutely love Matt Shadow’s weird voice. The way he sings clean was weird to me at first ngl, but now I regret not liking it-and his screams on WTF and their debut.. so good imo 👌
Expert level? Synyster gates (the lead guitarist) is beyond expert
Way beyond 🤘
I love the next album with Brooks too. His intro solo for The Stage is ridiculous!
He is as legendary as Slash
Did you know, he originally wanted to be called synyster gaytes, then he saw it written down and decided against it
Ikr
Those drums are on fire, of course, it is the legendary Mike portnoy from dream theater who played it..
Baalzebub23 Chikanos And Rev Wrote those drums too
I think I've read that Rev had already written those drums, and Portnoy was hired to play the tour.
The Rev wrote the part
If you hear the demo, The Rev actually did this song before his death. Mike Portnoy was a hero of his. So it is so fitting and touching that he didn't change any of his drum tracks! Imitated his drum track perfectly 😊 Mike Portnoy is the man 😊
The Rev wrote much of the drums on this album, so even if he didn’t perform it on the recording, Mike honoured him but changing nothing. Which is fitting, and would’ve been easy for Mike, as he had been one of the Rev’s biggest influences. IMHO, this is still The Rev drumming, and we still get some of his vocals on this one too. Jimmy went out with one hell of a bang!
Dream Theater - Under a Glass Moon
Pantera - Cemetery Gates
Alter Bridge - Blackbird!!
Doug Ray love alter bridge
Alter Bridge are so underrated dude!! Amazing band
Alter Bridge is definitely one of my favorites. I bet he would love them too
Doug Ray i agree 100%! (even for me they are among my favorite bands)
As much as I want Cemetery Gates, HE NEEDS TO DO ALTER BRIDGE!!
Bat Country - Avenged SevenFold
Battery - Metallica
Afraid to Shoot Strangers - Iron Maiden
Avenged sevenfold is my number one favorite band. Can't be better.
Grim not my favorite band but when talking about modern bands its definetly one of the best
I agree. These guys hit me straight into my heart. Extremely amazing band.
My all time favorite band
"I have a thing for little girls"
Spat my beer out
fun fact, they filmed this music video at a haunted hospital
isn't it the same hospital disturbed did stricken in?
Linda vista hospital... is where they filmed it... and its on youtube but their experience with it... And how it really freaked them out
+Wavium of the Sharingan it is abandoned yes, but its also haunted
They were at a hospital but made it look like an asylum
ATX51232 disturbed was also not in a hospital but in a care center for veterans

Stacy Schauls and shepherd of fire, victim, friction, the stage and unholy confession
and also like the entirety of the their self titled album. Also don't forget songs like God Damn, Bat Country, Coming Home, Roman Sky, Doing Time, the entirety of the album Nightmare, Trashed and Scattered, The Beast and the Harlot, and more
God Hates Us? Come on, that's one of their hardest rocking songs of this decade.
@Stacy Schauls So Far Away makes me tear up every time I listen to it as well
He needs to listen to all of city of evil though all of it is their best
I personally fucking LOVE the bassline of this entire song. The drums are sick, but that damned bass, though.... UNGH! That's bonin'-the-wall kind of awesome. XD
you meant the riff? the bass and the second guitar
Johnny Christ doesn’t get near enough credit as a bassist
The drums are by Dream Theratre drummer Mike Portnoy
The guitarists in this band are some of the best in the world how they harmonize with each other is perfect
Lamb of god - Laid to rest !
I think he must see Lamb of God at Download Festival (2007) :D
I was there. :D
I seriously wish all hip hop/ rap / whatever it’s called heads were as open minded as you towards this style of music
Band: The used
Song: The bird and the worm
Band: Thirty Seconds to Mars
Song: The kill
Zack dancing with the skeleton - like he danced with the girl in ‘Afterlife’
I think this is meant to be the complete opposite of Afterlife. Here's my theory but it may be so intentional 😊 Matt is being wheeled around instead of running, Zachy is dancing with his beautiful dance partner, swapped for the skeleton, Johnny is handing doves in Afterlife, this time he has a "Bird's eye view", Syn is handling the skull "very Shakespearean" this time he is cracking his skull on the window.
the video makes references to afterlife. hence the tarantula. afterlife is about someone who was in the verge of getting sent to hell but wants to right his wrongs. nightmare on the other hand, is about someone who was sent to hell for all their wrongs
Synyster Gates dropping jaws like always with his solos.
Die hard A7X fan here. Your reaction to Gates’s guitar solo was everything I’d hoped for hahahahaha !!!
Me too
hes so fucking hot like i fell in love with him when he was in beast and the harlot
David Mari OMG YESSS was me too 😂
David Mari I've been listening to avenged since I was born, I'm only 12, can't wait to see what the keep giving like slayer
Ya same here
5:50 awww that's cute dude in metal we hear guitar solos in every song ( and I dont mean syns guitar solo is cute I mean its cute how he got so impressed by it )
Ok Gerardo Brito...
I looked and couldnt find a reaction to HAIL TO THE KING!!!!?????
Layedbak does hail reaction
serch "kids react to avenged seven fold", haha have some fun
Yessssss Alex you need to do this Hail To The King, my favorite avenged song
Unholy Confessions!!
Luis Acevedo live in the LBC
Luis Acevedo Unholy Confessions was the first song I heard of Avenged Sevenfold. Changed my life forever and I’ve been a fan since 2005! 🤘🏽😎 I would love to see a react video for that song!
A common reaction after hearing a Synsyster Gates solo, that man is a guitar god
Jordan Heldoorn His guitar skills are uncontested
Matthew Curley John Petrucci thinks otherwise
Lol exactly
@@FearTheBlades Well at least Syn is human. John Isn't.
that he is true
This is one of my ultimate fav songs from this band!! I can not stop listening to this song! The guitar riffs, the way they switch , holy s
MUST WATCH BY A7X (underrated songs)
-remenissions
-dose
-demons
-trashed and scattered
-Shattered By Broken Dreams
Dose is anamazing song considering it was a b side
Beast and the Harlot next!
Alfie871 beast and harlot my favorite song from them 👍
Not much of an A7X fan, but that shoulda been first.
Alfie871 upvote for ya
Up
Hopefully the LBC live version instead of official version
5:44 the face of someone realize a guitar can make crazy sounds..
And the sound lololol
At the end when it zooms into a drum set I’m pretty sure that was symbolizing “The Rev” since he was their drummer
They're such a talented band. M. Shadows is one of the best vocalists in Metal imo. Synyster Gates is hella talented and crazy in a good way. The whole band rules! The melodies, the groove, the riffs, the lyrics in their music...
Every A7X fan like this
Please react to the beast and the harlot by avenged sevenfold if you liked the drums in this this is nothing listen to the ORIGINAL drummer ! Plz
SO MUCH THIS!!!!!
His head's gonna explode in jimmy's solo.....
In the demo of Nightmare The Rev plays the drums. You can find it on youtube.
The “old drummer” aka the rev does play this song, he also wrote it before he died...
THIS
Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold, the studio version not the radio edit
Samed K Yes! Studio version! One thousand percent better than the radio version
Samed K yeah radio edit sucks ass
Hey Man love these reaction videos!!!!! Nice to see a fellow Houstonian listening since the culture is very pop and hip-hop oriented.
I just recently started watching music reaction videos and you my friend are one of the most entertaining people to watch I've found so far haha definitely a fan keep up the awesome videos my man
Nightmare wasnt dedicated to the rev. There song so far away was there dedication song.
Flipp XL the whole album was dedicated to him
Flipp XL that also wasnt dedicated to him
Flipp XL the song maybe not, but the MV is dedicated to him, did you see his drumkit at the ending?
This song wasn't exactly a tribute, it was the last song The Rev got to record before his passing
Maybe the video was a tribute because of the last shot with the empty drum set (?)
PereVale yeah the video was a tribute
Luis C. The last song he recorded was Fiction
Ryan Alistaire you're probably right I never remember if fiction was the last song he recorded or the last song he wrote but I believe you're right
ändrew Salter he played on the demo.
This is my all time favorite band, I’ve been in 3 concerts of them
It makes me so happy as a Metalist to see you discovering metal music and enjoying it!
YES!!! That's one of my favorites songs! THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO THIS!!
I'm happy now 😆
Maybe try a little piece of heaven at some point 😂
I agree!
He aint ready
ready or not he should go for it :D
I strongly agree he should!
He’s already done Infant Annihilator, I think he can manage it!
Well this isn't actually a tribute song to the Rev since he did write the track for it. The tribute part comes at the end when we can see his drum set. He was also replaced by Mike Portnoy, Dream Theater's drummer temporarily until they hire a new one. One tribute song to The rev would be So Far Away or St. James.
Literally scrolled to see if someone pointed that out
React to “Hail to the king” by avenged sevenfold!!!! Please that would awesome!!! I was going to see them in concert Burt but M.Shadows vocals was messed up....
Avenged sevenfold has such a depth behind each one of their amazing songs! Synester gates is the best guitarist in my opinion. Those solos of his are gold! That was him bashing his head on the door.
is it weird that everytime i watch someone's reaction video I always say "damn i wish Alex Hefner's the one reacting to this"
Same, I do that all the time. Lol
No, he does the best reactions, so...is normal.
Metallica - Fade to Black
Metallica - Fade to black !!!
But not the video ! It's fake ...
This band is legit one of the bands that is high on my list of bands I have yet to see live that I want to see. Their songs "So Far Away" & "Victim" helped me get through a death.
"Those drums are on fire!"
#RememberFoREVer
i’m pretty sure you’ll like Hail To The King
YESSSSSSSSSSSS MORE A7X please
Avenged sevenfold was my very first concert. I had listened to them for years but I finally got the opportunity to go and it shortly after the Rev passed. I have never seen a crowd mourn together until that night. It was their nightmare release and it was beautiful. Matt is a dedicated musician. His songs all have meaning. The whole show blew me away. Hands down the most heart warming, tear jerking, life changing show I have ever been too. I'm a fan for life!
I wish I could do what this guy is doing.
I want to be able to go back to hearing all of these songs for the first time again, just to feel that magic and power again.
React to A little peace of heaven by Avenged Sevenfold 🙏
SO FAR AWAY IS THE REAL BIGGER TRIBUTE
The whole album is the tribute really
Album is awesome
YES THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO IT
Discovered dour channel today and spent like the whole day watching your videos 😁 i like 99% of the bands/songs you reactet to and some of them brogt back old memorys. Bands like five finger death punch und avaenged sevenfold are worth seeing live. Nice vids and keep uploading man. Greetings from germany 🤘. (Sorry if my english is not the best 😅)
React to Avenged sevenfold "A little piece of heaven "
The research on that song will be fun
EAT IT EAT IT EAT IT!
yes we need it! most special song from them, probably the best to react
So good
Always fun watching people react to that one. Very macabre.
If you want more Avenged Sevenfold listen to Save Me, The Stage or if you want to hear more about The Rev listen to Fiction or listen to his side band Pinkly Smooth where he’s the vocalist
React to Avenged sevenfold - warmness on the soul
YEAH
hey man im a big metal head and have been since I was 9, I am loving your honest reactions to these ventures into metal man, keep it up
A little piece of heaven
Little piece of heaven please.
Love your reactions dude 🤘😄
this is my favorite band and i think i just fell in love with you a little.
also, yes. little girls are terrifying af.
Listen to A little piece of heaven
Bailey Muhle he should also listen to afterlife
Avenged Sevenfold - Save Me
+1 Critical Acclaim
Avenged Sevenfold has been my number 1 favorite band for about 12 years now and each album if different and special in its own way. I love to see people who haven’t listened to them before react positively to them!
SYSTEM OF A DOOOOOWN PLEASE!!
B.Y.O.B. Hell yeah lol
Or anything really!!
Fuck that
Up
Chop Suey!
Pauses are good in my opinion. It's nice to hear your talk :D
PS: try Avenged Sevenfold - Sheperd of fire :)
PiekielnyKanał i believe he has to do that for copy right reasons. But he does it better then others. His video quality is pretty good
Dude Alex bro, your sense of humor is spot on!
So ive been watching all your first listens to rock and metal 😊 i grew up with all this music and I think we are close in age so it amazes me how you hadn’t heard these and yet you are able to appreciate them 😌 I’ll be watching more of these and great job so far!!
So Far Away is real tribute
Great to see you react to one of my favorite songs by my favorite band. BTW react to A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold.
Dylan George I suggested that song too. He will have a ton of fun with it research wise. Written by Jimmy himself :)
This song hits me hard it always has as a 15 year old kid I watched my dad take his last breath and it was a nightmare so this song has always held a spot in my heart
synyster gates at the front guitar man ..nice video ..continue the great job !!!
I'll never stop requesting Protest the Hero.
Fun fact, drum kit at the end is The Revs.
Buckshot Jones another fun fact, that white kit has a tarantula crawling on it which is significant because that same white kit is used by The Rev in the Afterlife music video, in which a tarantula crawls across The Rev's face
One more fun fact the tattoo they got of the deathbat with hair is a tribute to Rev as well everyone of them has one
Tyler DiGiovanni R.I.P Jimmy
Van Halen Fan#1 you right
This is the main song that introduced me to the band awhile ago. When they came to Saskatoon last February and played this song live I loved the crowd particpation in "it's your FUCKIN' NIGHTMARE."
This song is actually about drug addiction as the late-drummer died of an overdose, and is a tribute to what he went through. The song that was a tribute to "The Rev" and the bands loss at his death is called "So Far Away"
Yes! About time! A7X Rocks! You should watch The Stage next. It is freaking amazing!
Shane Wall how about older ones first...
Shane Wall A7X
Like Second Heartbeat would be nice.
Archangel11 Didn't do it oh thank god for correcting it... I didnt see it
Devin Notah you good
Mike Portnoy played the drums for this song and for all other songs of this album! Also, their original drummer (The Rev, the onde who died) was very talented and you should check out "So Far Away" because it's one of the most saddest songs of all time and it's a tribute to The Rev too. Their drummer right now is Brooks Wackerman.
Hey Alex, idk if people have already said this or not, but this is one of the tributes to The Rev, the main one is called So Far Away and it explained mainly about him and his personality and how he meant to the band and their fans it literally made me cry and it sends chills down my spine every time I think about it
What's scary is Synyster Gates isn't even 40 and there are 50 year old guitarists who will never be able to play that well
Ever see his dad play? He was a “guitar guy” for Jeff Dunham. He’s also very skilled. Good genes.
@@joelmacdonald6994 I haven't seen Brian Sr. p lay, but I have heard and it also extremely impressive. They both had bad ass guitar teachers
This band is everything tho, they are humble and amazing artists... you definitley should listen to them more often ... also i really wanna see more reactions of them.
Bro you have to react to “The Stage” by avenged sevenfold
Dude love your reaction,it was very amusing
Dont say you cant play an instrument. You totally could if you practice and have the right mindset
