"And the frickin guy with the guitar that does the hand gesture" 😆😂💀 That's Gates alright. Lmfao. 💀

This song was written by their old drummer, The Rev (passed away December 2009) because the band asked him to make something absolutely nuts for the album they were working on. In turn, he came up with a song where a guy kills his girlfriend for denying his marriage proposal because he is obsessed with her, then she comes back from the dead to kill him. In hell he begs for forgiveness and she gives it to him and then they live happily ever after as a married zombie couple. The song itself, although is purely meant to tell a wicked story, is basically a love song, a really dark love song.. I think that "A Little Piece Of Heaven" is like "Bohemian Rhapsody" It’s unique masterpiece of art and it takes time to be totally appreciated or understood for some people.

Syn's Guitar Lead at 8:28 with that Vocal Climb from Matt and Jimmy always gives me chills to this day. Such incredibly wicked art in performance. 🤘

This song was all Rev. He wrote the whole thing, drumming is amazing as always, and then does the insane backing vocals playing the woman's part. And this crazy multi part song was all executed flawlessly . . . live. Amazing performance.

It's so nice to see someone who can accept the song for what it is, go on a ride, and enjoy the performance, and not get all outraged and pearl-clutchy, like a certain other creator I've seen. Great video! Kudos!

It’s a love story… a dark and twisted love story mixed in with murder, cannibalism, necrophilia, zombies, a crashed wedding and a massacre. It’s about a love so strong that not even death could keep them apart.

Avenged Sevenfold did a breakdown video on this song that went over a lot of the writing and production process for the song too. It is on their KZread channel and well worth the time to watch it for anyone interested.

The rev actually wrote/composed this entire song. And directed most parts and indicated how he wanted it to be. Have a look at the making of this when you get time @Rayactions

I loved how in the live version at 7:16 he changes the lyrics from “I know it’s not your time” to “yes I know it’s time to die “ showing that he knows she’s gotta kill him ! Love it !!!!

This song and this live performance is just a masterpiece!

Watch the animated version, to really get all the clues and disturbing facts of this song. Love this song in the car, so i can scream along :)

I love the faces and commentary Ray does and also when she starts processing the visual info she just received lol

Not gonna lie, when I started getting into avenged sevenfold and heard this song for the first time I also got very weirded out, now it's one of my favorite a7x songs

This song is a masterpiece and one of my fav songs from a7x & the music video is so good. I would like to see Hail to the king - live rock am ring 2018. I was there and it was amazing & the flames where so big :D & ofc Parkway Drive live at wacken

LMFAO YOUR REACTIONS ARE SO FUNNY 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 GREAT VIDEO!!

This is so wild because this is literally their encore song and it’s 8 min in length after performing the rest of the album.

I didn't even realize as a teen listening to this stuff, the uniqueness and crazy genre-bending energy is what had me hooked on em. I just figured I was a huge fan of metal since i grew up on stuff like Metallica, but a7x always had a way of hitting different for me story is a lot easier to pick up with the video but you got most of it. at the end they got married in the afterlife and went on a rampage in the living world, killing everyone for their "wedding". very wholesome stuff 😄

Hey, really love your reactions! I feel like you have a lot of good input on these songs. If you want, take a look into Architects. Although I'm not the biggest fan of their newest album they are my favorite band by a long shot. Very unique style and excellent writing.

I don't know why, I always like seeing you make videos wearing glasses, very beautiful especially when listening to a7x ❤

This song is like the " Bohemian Rhapsody " of metal music. 🫡🦇

I was showed this in like 2008 when I was 14, and it was the wildest thing I had ever seen. Now it's legitimately one of my favorite songs hahaha

I had a feeling since you delved only a bit into A7X's catalogue that this song will eventually come up and first time reactions to this song is always golden haha. The Rev is a genius song writer and i wouldn't personally take this song's lyrics as black and white cause yes the themes behind it are well dark, depraved etc, but Jimmy (at least to me) is a master at writing metaphors and deeper meaning and at least from my take away from this song is that, Love is untouchable, when two hearts connect you can fuck things up, and have things go so dark, but in the end of the day, if the effort is there, and you're truly intertwined, it will conquer all! Or i'm just delusional haha, regardless love the reaction Rachel!

Yeah the music video for this one really helps paint the story. It’s about a guy who murdered his gf because she said no to his proposal for marriage (not only that but laughed at him as if he was crazy thinking anyone would ever marry him). He snapped and killed her and ended up preserving her body and well….having fun time….with it but since dead bodies are cold he got a “heater for her thighs” so it would feel like she was alive. Eventually her soul came back to her dead body to get revenge and she killed him. He then snapped back out of it and realized what he had done and how fucked up it was so he asked for her forgiveness and she decided to give him a chance since now they’re essentially both stuck in this purgatory together of basically being zombies. They end up doing regular zombie shit together, you know the normal zombie shit, and they ended up falling back in love and deciding to actually “get married” and spend the rest of eternity together as the undead killing people, more specifically killing people getting married because the idea of marriage is what got them both in the situation they were now in in the first place. It’s definitely an extremely morbid and fucked premise and story, and that’s kinda the point. That type of story and lyric to the background of the musicality they play throughout is haunting because it doesn’t seem like the story will be that dark. The Rev wrote the song basically entirely himself and it’s considered one of their best songs simply because it’s so unique to all the rest of their shit and it’s just so well done and if the topic were different, it likely would’ve been nominated for some shit

The first part The Rev sings is the guy killing the girl. He stabs her about “50 fucking times” rips her heart out and eats it. He just fully loses it. The second time he sings the lyrics change to “must have stabbed HIM fifty fucking times” because she comes back for revenge and kills him the same way he killed her. Stabs him and then rips his heart out and eats it. The point being she was an asshole to him, he killed her, she came back to get revenge and killed him, now they’re both stuck undead and they’ve both eaten each others hearts and realize they both messed up so they end up “bonding” over that and end up together forever. Toxic ass relationship tbh 😂

Another fun fact. This song is such a loved song by A7X fans, when they play it they tend to play it at the very end nowadays as a closer, so when I went to see them a few years ago when they had a make up concert because they were supposed to open for Metallica but had to postpone because Syn’s wife went into labor, they had a make up concert that was free if you had tickets to the Metallica concert and now it was a headlined A7X concert so longer setlist. Anyways, they played this song at the very end and right before they played it, they brought a guy on stage from back stage and he proposed to his gf on the stage. She said yes and then they went into this song to end it off 😂

Love when people react to this live show, i personally love the live version of this track more than the studio one (primarily for the Matt - Jimmy call and response part). Some things you may enjoy (maybe not even video worthy - more like on your own time). There are numerous videos on the story of how this song came to be, it's the Rev's baby. Also, they have a bunch of studio track breakdowns (and yes they did this song) they started doing which are super cool because a lot of the times they'll isolate the different instruments and vocal parts or little parts of the songs that are easy to miss.

Love your a7x reactions. I think you should perhaps do some of the newer stuff too. The Stage is such a great journey along with the official video, a different genre in a way, but still the way a7x knows how to deliver themselves like before.
