First REACTION to "Rock Music" Avenged Sevenfold ( Beast And The Harlot ) 

Here’s the link to the Patreon for request and Merch discount 🔥🔥🤘🏽-> patreon.com/Layedbakdfr ‪

Ayo no hate but this version cuts out the intro and The Rev's drum solo. That solo is legendary and ya gotta hear it.

The full intro didn’t play because of the music video. That’s one of the best parts of the song

So far away by A7X gotta be my favorite song. Such a great song dedicated to their late drummer Jimmy Sullivan

It sucks that they had to cut a few of their songs for the music videos, they always seem to take out the best parts. The intro, drum solo, and key change at the end of the full song make it SO MUCH BETTER

quite surprised on how ppl still reviewing a7x in 2022..mad respect 👏

I'm glad to see "little piece of heaven" didn't scare you off with how wild that song is lol. They have a ton of gems in their catalog.

RIP Rev. One of the finest drummers modern music had ever known.

One of my favourite drummers ever. RIP Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan🙏🙏

I recommend ‘welcome to the family’ by avenged sevenfold, currently my favorite song of theirs

This is my favorite A7x song. Fantastic musicianship all around. Those happy guitars under the lyrics lifted from the Book of Revelation get me every single time. You were correct when you said "everything ain't what it seems." The city of Babylon - beautiful corruption. Great reaction.

You should react to Coming home by Avenged Sevenfold. It has one of the best guitar solos

Shame it's the video version but what a banger all the same, I can still remember hearing this for the first time and it was well over a decade ago. City Of Evil is modern metal classic and if I could recommend any song for any reason, the double kick fill on Blinded In Chains

"Save Me" is *the* Avenged Sevenfold song.

Ahhh you would of loved the drum solo in the beginning. One of the few times I would of preferred the lyric version, but this reaction was great! 🤟🤟

one of my favorite bands of this era to be honest. This is the 2nd song I learned how to play on drums by Avenged Sevenfold

Just a little background info on the song itself, as the title mentions, it talks about the beast and the harlot in the book of revelations in Bible mythology. The scarlet seven-headed beast and the harlot were once in union until the beast betrayed her. It also talks about how the harlot committed fornication with the kings of the nations which you can also hear in the song. Just thought it’d be interesting to say

Congrats man great job,the best reaction always 👏👏

yo this is my all time fav band! i even have a deathbat logo at the back of my neck. thanks for doing this!! we need to bring the old A7x back for the younger generations to hear!

Yo bois we have to show this man "THE STAGE" by Avenged Sevenfold Like so he sees this

Avenged Sevenfold is what got me into metal music, they have a good range hard and softer songs. More of an alternative metal band but they’re my all time favorite.

Wow never heard that song, killer drums&guitar solo, video gave me goosebumps frfr. Favorite song by this band is Almost Easy!

Can we get some Asking Alexandria please? From their stand up and scream album

One of my favorite A7X songs, actually pretty deep with symbolism if you look at the lyrics, its about the corruption and fall of the City of Babylon.

Ayo first time watching, I already fw this channel

Massive enjoyment thank you so much man

It’s one of their longer songs, but Avenged Sevenfold’s song “I Won’t See You Tonight Pt. 1” quite literally might be the best song that they’ve ever put out from a musical standpoint. It’s a masterpiece of a song, surprised that not many people have recommended it

Good stuff man, love ur setup!

A7X has a unique sound, like some shit you'd hear in an old ps2 game. They do have some heavy sounds though, Critical Acclaim is one of them.

I grew up listening to A7X 🔥🔥🔥

YESS more avenged sevenfold!!!

Haven't been seeing you react to music in a long time, but A7X made me click so fast. Still one of their best songs. Thank you so much for playing this. Love and light from Sweden 🇸🇪✌🏻

rev is a goat on the drums we still miss you up there rev we love your work and no matter what we will always love your work

I had a feeling you were gonna stop in the middle of the solo and was ready to laugh 🤣

AYE!!!!! its about time you covered more avenged sevenfold lets goo

Hey man dont know if youll see this or not but i am just finishing with covid and it sucked couldnt work or see my girl but i was home watching every reaction video you have of all my favourite artists and it made my days go by a little faster. Thanks for being a great creator of youtube and music keep up the good work man ✌️

"Now if you want to serve above or be a king below with us you're welcome to the city where your future is set forever"

For sure you need to listen to the studio album version. It's got an actual intro, and the revs drum solo/breakdown. And the ending is better

OMG this is my fav band!

I haven't even watched the reaction yet but this gets a hard like. One of my favorite songs from A7X

You should react to MIA or Dangerline by Avenged Sevenfold Both of them are military-related and Both of them have some SICK Guitar Solos!

Glad you checked this out! First song I heard from them in 06 and I was hooked! My interpretation of the lyrics and video is how people get corrupted by sin, a lot of imagery of the whole Vegas Strip kind of lifestyle literally sin city (album name is city of evil so it fits too). Also could be a representation for America as a whole, some people criticize the decadence of America and compare it to Babylon (tying into the title beast and the harlot, the whore of babylon). This band uses a lot of biblical references, even their name is a biblical reference, I'm a former Christian myself and I do think the book of revelations makes for the best Metal themes in lyrics lol. I'd check out Bat Country from them next

Was bangin to this in high school circa 2007. song SLAPS

Missed the whole DRUM SOLO in the song, and the intro gotta react to Live in the LBC. Great vid :)

welcome brother all peace and smooth vibes for the '22 and beyond.......LETS POP THIS SHYTE!!!!!!

STOP WHENEVER LAYED!!!! WE HERE!!!! #firesquad

I remember that TheDooo played that solo. Fascinating

When I first heard the album I said "this song is what you'd play if you were going to drive your car into a highway overpass at 130 mph". I stand by that. Fuckin JAM

Thank you for being open to all music. A7X is my favorite band.

Yoooo pls do more Avenged their stuff is AMAZING!

Man you have to check out the new falling in reverse song zombified

I love this song as its core lies in the book of Revalations where the Beast comes to power and the Harlot which is New Babylon falls.

TRAITORS - MENACE II SOCIETY Amazing song you'll love it

I'd love to see you do a reaction to Scream by Avenged Sevenfold, but the live version at LBC. My man that song and live performance is one of their best by far

What kind of music would you say is/was your main genre you listened to your whole life? Is this an effort to listen to new kinds of music, or are you a rock guy listening to some new bands? Either way I love the format and seeing people like you appreciate music 🤘🏼

Do paper wings by rise against or ashes of eden by breaking Benjamin

you cool bro...loves your channel man!! With love from INDIA..Peace✌🏼

id pay money to see you reack to erra snowblood. youll love it bro

That cd was so awesome

You killed it.

I won’t see you tonight part 1 🔥🔥🔥

Bro SHOTTA FLOW 6 IS DOPE

A7X is amazing ♥️🤘

Yo! Falling in reverse came out with a few amazing tracks recently. I think you would love them!

Should watch people shred this kinda stuff on guitar hero rock band.. one of my all time favourite songs to play it's so challenging but fun to shred on guitar and drums

Thes guys are great saw them at Rams Head in Balitmore right when they started getting big

Hey man. Just literally started following you about 3 hours ago and been watching the whole time. You reviews are right on and honest. Can you please do a reaction to The Browning-Skybreaker. I swear it will be nothing you have reacted to before and it’d be awesome for your reaction!

I've never seen the video for this song but damn its dark

You should do "Almost easy", "Seize the day", "Dear god", "Afterlife", "Gunslinger", "Critical acclaim", they are all amazing songs, i would u to react to" Unholy confessions", but i think it's to hard for you 🥲 Love and light from Sweden 🇸🇪✌🏻

Bro this dude has the best camera

Yoooo, “Playing guitar on Omegle but I pretend I’m a beginner part 3” by The Doo for Trash or Pass

Check out all of their tributes to the Rev

Their song Trashed and Scattered from this album is an all-time favorite song ever. If you react to it, there's a chance I'll watch it numerous times, 'cause if I wanna hear it, sometimes I just view a reactor reacting. Gives you a view and me a listen. I'm happy to do that. I still play it all the time, even after 18 years. It makes me wanna go train... but it also kinda makes me wanna terrorize the town. lol. While it's probably not "too heavy," it's very energetic. I'd totally recommend it if that's your type of thing. It's a hidden gem from this album that all their fans appreciate. This album is fire! This drummer was out of this world!

I like how you put “rock music” in quotes in the title 😂

The doo is upload video so I wait for your reaction man.

Cant wait for more avenged sevenfold!!!!

I just watched your reaction to Bulls on Parade and if you really like that funk and groove element added to metal you should react to Primus. My Name is Mud slaps (literally)

Yes!❤️🔥

Like the only band who will put their main solo before the second verse lol

The contract girl, the sucker boy, and the other people being taken into the darkness; it’s a metaphor for selling your soul.

Hi LaidBack, I have a suggestion for you ,, 30 Seconds To Mars - Edge of the Earth, is an iconic song for those who played NFS

Awww , look at Jimmy :( RIP

I would love to see more people reacting to the existential threat it has weird animation and is about existential dread

How about the live session of Pisces by Jinjer?? Think you’d love it

Second heartbeat has to be my favorite A7X song it goes hard

all City of Evil album songs are HEAT

RIP REV

you should do andy blacks "we dont have to dance" or "stay alive"

Afterlife, and so far away are really good songs by them

Avenged Sevenfold Made great music in there nightmare album , Matt had an amazing voice those years

You should check out Iron Maiden's The Trooper

So I've seen you've been branching out and getting into other genres of music, have you ever had anyone suggest Nerdcore, or have you ever done any reactions to that

Does he get the video links from his Patreon too? I’m seeing a lot of people saying he listens to the wrong version of certain songs. Maybe providing links with suggestions would help

Finally, A7X their back, the solo with Zacky is very good, et the rev.. god damn, that's so fantastic I propose, for a next react : - Save me - Dancing dead - Unholy confessions - afterlife ( in live or not, u decide)

Song’s all about temptation, and the video shows that it’s ultimately self-consuming.

Yo, I've been watching your videos for a while now and tbh, your my favorite reaction channel I love how you are open to anything, but I think you would like November by gorilla, that track has MF DOOM on it. Also maybe do some Primus! They are crazy I recommend "fisticuffs" or "the toys go winding down"

I'm just waiting for hunger on hillside reaction 😭

YESSSS. MY FAVORITE A7X SONG

FIRE SQUAAAAD

I don't like that kind of "reactions", but your channel is legendary for me ;)
