HIP HOP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare' | GENUINE REACTION 

Another rabbit hole has been entered!

Hail to the king, buried alive, the stage, unholy confessions, so far away, etc

THE REV, ONE OF THE BEST METAL DRUMMERS TO EVER LIVE.. THIS WAS HIS LAST ALBUM HE GOT TO DO, 🙏 RIP.

RIP the Rev ❤

Give So Far Away a listen. It’s a gut wrenching tribute to The Rev, one of the best rock drummers of all time. Synyster Gate’s guitar solo will floor you. RIP Rev

Buried Alive, Bat Country, God Hates Us, Shepherd of Fire I could list 20 more all bangers. Their concert Live in the LBC goes hard too

Please get this man on some Rammstein

The next one from A7X should be Buried Alive and The Stage. Make sure to watch the videos.

Another good band A7X let’s go!! Must do “Beast and The Harlot” and “Bat Country!!”

Actually this band was like the 2nd metallica for me, i hope you end up going thrkugh their whole discography

Beast and the Harlot!

Bat Country should definitely be next

Critical acclaim, live in the LBC. These guys are amazing live. That will also introduce you to the original drummer, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, who died a year after the LBC performance and just before the recording of the Nightmare album.

A7X!!! I'm a little late to these guys but they have some great songs...and they have such a broad range of styles!!! Metalcore to Prog Metal... and damn cool rocker names... "Synyster Gates" "M. Shadows" ...hard to beat.

Finally! 😃 this song is very straight forward mainstream but they have a huge and wide discography spanning metal core to speed and progressive metal etc. Extremely talented musicians with a different sound on every album. Mostly influenced by Iron Maiden, Metallica, Pantera and Guns N Roses. I sincerely suggest you dive into them further!

first time i heard this song, i remember thinking "wow, this drummer is trying really hard to be like Mike Portnoy" ..... then i looked up the credits 🤣🤦‍♂🧠 that double-bass , that cymbal work , and those tom runs are just too unmistakable.

A7x is the best band since '99. Period. There's reason they're tattooed across my back.

Almost Easy, Buried Alive, Gunslinger, A Little Piece of Heaven, Bat Country, Beast and the Harlot, Scream, Critical Acclaim, Hail to the King, The Stage. They have a lot of ceritified fucking BANGERS bro, just you wait 😂 Nightmare is great tho.

Yeahh, My bro molly whenever you react to Avenged Sevenfold again, Hail to the King and Shepherd of Fire are definitely the next songs you should react too! pick one of the two songs (Shepherd of Fire&Hail to the King)❤

This album was made after the passing of their original drummer, Jimmy "the Rev" Sullivan. Jimmy was heavily influenced by Dream Theater's original drummer, Mike Portnoy, who was kind enough to lay down the tracks for the Nightmare album and do a tour to keep A7X going during this difficult time in their career. That's why you hear the drums all through the video and it ends showing Sullivan's drum set which you would have seen if it wasn't cut short at the end. Dream Theater is considered the kings of prog metal and their songs are long, technically difficult to play, have odd time signatures, and there are ever-changing melodic parts that mainly appeal to musicians. Jimmy was influenced by one of the top drummers of the world for the 90's era and it showed in his playing as he was the most accomplished player for his craft in the band. Dream Theater has been around a long time and has released 15 studio albums in their career. I was never much into their vocalist though he had his occasional great moments but the band is ridiculous. They won a Grammy a while back for a song called Alien. You might look into it. It's musician porn though so be prepared to be hit with a million notes and time signature changes.

If you want their latest banger, Hail to the King. If you want there early bangers, Bat Country and Beast and the Harlot. That’s just to start!!!! They have so many bangers.

By the way: they have a heavy Metallica influence

I took my daughter and some of her friends to see A7F, about 12 years ago. They put on a great show in Chicago. They had a guy hang himself from the stage lights overhead (a part of the show). Everybody screamed when he jumped and was left hanging through this song. It was wild. Mad talent on guitars. It's on my playlist too and i'm 69 now. 😅

This is what you call PRECISION

7:53 avenged sevenfold has been around since 2002 but they still make music. Check their new track Cosmic.

Buried Alive is a great song!

Yes please go down this rabbit hole. Well worth it.

I saw them live for this album tour and they started the show off with an empty stage and had a "body" drop from the rafters and swing for this entire song. One of the most badass set openings I've ever seen!! And I've seen about 130 bands live too!

Let me tell you I used to call this band "avenged butt fold" but when I saw them live? In Bismarck North Dakota in November 2011? With "Hell Yeah"? Vinnie Paul from Pantera? I'll tell you you Ace Seven "X" totally schooled everyone that night. They totally blew everyone away on that stage. And when he sang "Your Fuckin nightmare!!!!!!!" I swear he held that note for like five minutes and then the rest of the band kicked into the next song? I realized Ace Seven "X" is one of the greatest bands of all time.

I first discovered them in 2003 Waking The Fallen (2nd album) the songs "Unholy Confessions" followed by "Chapter Four" solidify them in my favorites. ↓ My A7X Playlist ↓ A Little Piece of Heaven (not the typical A7X song, do not judge them based on this song) Acid Rain Afterlife (Banger!) Almost Easy (Banger!) And All Things Will End Bat Country (2006 win the MTV video award for Best New Artist for their song "Bat Country.") Beast and the Harlot (Banger!) Betrayed Blinded in Chains Buried Alive (Banger!) Burn It Down Carry On Chapter Four (Banger!) Clairvoyant Disease Crimson Day Critical Acclaim (Banger!) Crossroads Dancing Dead Danger Line Dear God Desecrate Through Reverence Eternal Rest Exist Fiction (This track was written by the band's drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan three days before he was found dead on December 28, 2009, the last song to be written by The Rev. ) Girl I Know God Hates Us Gunslinger Hail to the King (Banger!) I Won't See You Tonight Part 1 Lost M -I -A Nightmare (Banger!) Nobody Not Ready to Die Paranoid (Cover) Planets Remenissions Requiem Save Me Scream (Banger!) Seize the Day Set Me Free Shattered By Broken Dreams Shepherd of Fire Sidewinder So Far Away (This is a raw and emotional tribute to Avenged Sevenfold's late drummer, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, unlike most songs they written) Strength of the World The Stage (Banger!) The Wicked End they made This Means War Tonight the World Dies Trashed and Scattered Unbound (The Wild Ride) Unholy Confessions (Banger!) Victim Walk (Cover) Warmness On The Soul Welcome to the Family

Finallyyyyy more avenged sevenfold!!!!!!

So glad you did this. To be honest I wasn’t that excited. I never gave Avenged Sevenfold a chance and I’m not sure why? Loved this jam! Put it on my playlist as well. Thanks MB and all the fans. I’m here for it!

Save me by avenge sevenfold I’m telling you it is beautiful. My favorite song

The drummer was amazing and unfortunately has passed away as well. But definitely great music Enjoy my boy!!

Welcome to the Family by Avenged Sevenfold = awesome tune. ❤❤❤

Also gates on the guitar is amazing. He is just so smooth like the guitar is just singing too.

Synyster Gates is an absolutely legendary guitarist

Hail to the King!!! Yo Mollyboy, Hail to the King will change your life.

Save Me is the one. Perfect song

Pls do CARRY ON WAYWARD SON BY KANSAS it's right up your alley

Once again .... MACHINE HEAD - A FAREWELL TO ARMS!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the family. Your music library bout to grow some more 🙌

Synister Gates is one of my favorite guitarists. They all play Schecter instruments. Synister and Jonny Crist have signature models. Awesome band very unique. When you hear em you know it's them

Avenged Sevenfold started as late 90s metalcore, then evolved into a new thrash metal reborn. They were the forefront of what was called The New Wave of American Heavy Metal in the early 2000s after The New Wave of British Heavy Metal in the early 80s led by Def Leppard and Iron Maiden. For some reason, there are a lot of A7X haters, but I love them. This album came out when I was living in the UK as a US servicemember in the Royal School of Military Engineers. Listen to A7X's third album, City of Evil, and songs Bat Country, The Beast and the Harlot, Seize the Day, and Burn It Down. Their best!

We need to get him onto Avenged Sevenfold Live LBC (Critical Acclaim and Little Piece of Heaven) then again you can't go wrong with any song during that concert

I had this song as my ringtone for a long time, my kids heard it played - a lot, and my oldest son was around 9 or 10. It came on the radio in the car first they said my phone was ringing and then bam my son hits the very first Nightmare at the exact time as M. Shadows, he counted the beats. My youngest (about the time he was 5) could hit every Oi, Oi, Oi on AC/DC's TNT with a severe speech delay. ...Music does more than just give us something to listen to. I'm really proud of this journey I see you going on, even if I only comment now and again, because Music *is the* Universal Language. This is the first album without The Rev on the drums but they do have some of his vocals. Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater did the drums for the record using the demos Jimmy had done on a drum machine so he kinda had an idea of what Jimmy was going for. Mike did the tour and I think he did a masterful job of honoring Jimmy..The Rev. Anything after 2010 won't be The Rev on drums. The music never gets old for me. Try some stuff off their early albums, Bat Country is one, Beast and The Harlot, pretty much all of the self titled (or white) album is my favorite.

This is my band favorite, Please React to "Save Me" is a masterpiece 😊 like bro❤

Buried Alive or Hail To The King next

Fuck yeah!!! It's about time!. React to anything off the album 'waking the fallen'. Some of their early stuff. This band has an amazing history.

My man, you NEED to listen to Buried Alive, such a great song, many changes..so good. Thanks for the vid!

I saw Avenged Sevenfold at Ozzfest in 2006 and at the time they were new and the Ozzfest crowd wasn’t feeling their sound. They were one of the first bands to play as people were filing in and no one was really paying them much attention. Then they broke out an absolutely pitch perfect cover of Pantera’s Walk and that place went fucking crazy. The crowd was theirs after that. There’s versions of the live performances of Walk online. You should check one out. It was absolutely sick.

This is my first time hearing these guys and they're amazing!!!

"So Far Away," "Doin' Time," "Shepherd of Fire," "This Means War," "Welcome to the Family," and "Bat Country." These are just my favorites.

Buried alive, little piece of heaven, natural born killer, cosmic, critical acclaim, unholy confessions, warmness on the soul, I won’t see you tonight part 1.. omg sooo many amazing songs that they have !!

This was 2010 and this was their 5th studio album. They really blew up off this album. They were really made known off their 2005 and 2007 album releases. The song “Bat Country” really put them on the map in mainstream rock. Then they released Critical Acclaim and Afterlife. But when this album hit, songs like “So Far Away,” “Buried Alive,” and “Nightmare” blew up. To this day, I feel like Buried Alive is my fave A7X song

Another rabbit hole created!!! Here we go!!! You need to check out all the albums bro. Every single song they’ve released is a banger

Symptom of being human!! I've seen them multiple times in concert. Brilliant band

Afterlife and Hail to the King. My two fans from them.

This is the title track of their fifth album from 2010 (their 8th came out last year, the debut in 2002! ) They never release the same album twice, forever experimenting with new sounds but have always kept that dark element. Here`s a few bangers (mostly singles) from their earlier albums to ease you in: Darkness Surrounding, Unholy Confessions, Beast and the Harlot, Bat Country, Almost Easy, Afterlife. Such a band, such a story, enjoy delving into this whole rabbit warren!

Hail To The King is another good song of theirs.

Omg finally! Can’t wait til you check out their LBC performance 😭😭🔥

Representing Cali🤘 Welcome to Deathbat Country 🦇💀 I still have this for one of my alarms! Wakes me up Everytime too! 😂 Great Huntington beach band! I think this band got huge in 03'ish..around there. It's a great band with some Bangers! 😁🤘〽️

NEVER heard of this band - I dig it!

Afterlife, Buried Alive, Bat Country and Hail to the King are Bangers. Softer Songs like So Far Away and Sieze the day. Are great reat too. The Avenged Sevenfold rabbit hole is massive. My current favourite band.

The Rev on the drums!!! So damn good!!!!

Hail to the king is a most listened to awesome tune by avenged sevenfold proper banger great reaction Molly Boy

Definitely go down the rabbit hole!!!

Love your reactions man! A7x is one of my favorite bands, if you do more would love to see Hail to the King, Shepherd of Fire, Buried Alive, A Little Piece of Heaven, and Bat Country!

Absolutely go in to them

So glad you finally did A7F! Now check out 'Critical Acclaim' live at the LBC! It will blow your socks off!

Respect to the black nails my man I have yet to see any comments saying you shouldn’t paint them and props to the comments for that

Hail to the King!!

2010. This album in PARTICULAR sticks out for me, as I'm a Dream Theater fan. Their founding drummer the Rev died and his favorite drummer was Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater. He played drums on this album and subsequent tour and partly, as a result, wound up leaving/ being kicked out of his band for 13 years. He just rejoined the band. A7X is a damned good band . I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND listening to Dream Theater as well. Even if you do it off the channel. EVERYONE in the band is a GOD at their instrument. Give them a listen man

Beast and the Harlot is an epic track that shows off everyone in the band’s skills. Wicked track. Well worth checking out.

Congrats on 40k.

Cool man, I don't listen to these guys so I'll be taking the journey with you. Great guitar tone 👌

I’ve been a long time metal fan and these guys are one of the newer bands, relatively speaking, that I really like. Buried Alive or A Little Piece of Heaven are my favourite A7X songs. Add them to your list bro…

I love watching this dude's slow descent into becoming a metal head 😅

This band every player is phenomenal every song is awesome, hail to the king

Avenged Sevenfold is an American heavy metal band from Huntington Beach, California, formed in 1999. I recomend checkin out "A Little Piece Of Heaven" and "Welcome to the Family"

they have so many songs that i listen to regularly

I’ve seen A7X 4 times. This is one of their best sing along numbers. 20,000 screaming the lyrics live is awesome.

The Stage Is epic

This is one of my favorite metal songs. Top 15 or 20 of all time to me. It's got everything that makes metal so good. While I'm not a fan of a lot of their songs this one stands out to me and belongs on my top list. I'm 51 and this tune was probably a year old before I heard it because they were touring in my area but it hits all the notes that lured me into metal in the 80s and 90s. Lamb of God!!! You should start with 512 but you have to do Walk With Me In Hell. You'll love both of them. Saw them with Pantera a couple months ago and it was such a great show.

THE STAGE! Make sure you watch the video.

I'd never say they were the best band of all time, but they ARE my favourite band of all time

Listen to So Far Away. Real emotional for them, they've been friends since they were kids and they lost their drummer. Great song.

I get "Bill and Ted" and Static-X vibes once in a while. "NOBODY" is a calmer A7X song with Synyster Gates' killer guitar licks that pierce brain cells. 🎸

My bruh! Now you will hear the best metal soloist with synester gates!! Please do Buried alive bro, so melodic!! It’s that kind of song where it’s like two different songs mashed together so awesome!

The band was formed in 1999! When you listen to them watch out for M Shadows evil laugh. He put it in most of the tracks. Me & my daughter used to try to be the first to catch it. I don’t have a favourite but Almost Easy is good. Also So Far Away-the song for The Rev (R.I.P.) enjoying your channel 😊xx

LMFAO hahaha the band was formed in Huntington, California and they hang out in Sacramento, California. I usually see them perform twice a year.

Awesome reaction brother. I have been listening to A7X since 2004 when I won their album Seventh Trumpit through a raffle. Their drummer and one of the best to ever bang sticks Jimmy the Rev Sullivan past away right before this album came out.

Check out their song Bat Country.

Avenged Sevenfold - "Buried Alive" and "The Stage" next please :)

Great react by great brother man👊❤️

Not ready to die is a great song by them

Yet another rabbit hole to go down that you won’t regret!

So Avenged Sevenfold started as a straight up thrash metal screamo type band but they decided that they wanted to cater to a wider audience so they change their sound to be a bit more mellow when they did this and begin to go a little bit more progressive they suddenly came out of nowhere and hit the radio waves pretty quickly. And found success virtually overnight.. when their drummer passed away in 2009, the drummer of drink theater stepped in so that they could have a drummer until they were able to find a new one and that’s why the drums are insane on songs like nightmare because he is one of the top five greatest drummers in the world. I don’t know much more about the band than that, but when backcountry came on the radio, and I heard it for the first time down at Myrtle Beach I was absolutely blown away because it was exactly my style of music and I wanted to know more, but they hadn’t come out with anything that was Progressively cool like that yet so I waited until they built up their material some more and now they are among my favorites

The more you listen to avenged sevenfold songs. The more you'll love them.

Such a talented band! Love them!!!
