So this concert would have been some time between the release of their 4th album in 2007 and the drummer's passing in 2009. The lead singer blew out his voice sometime in 2014 and changed his style a bit. This show was legendary for a number of reasons. Glad you are enjoying it.

You are right. Hail to the King was the start to the “change” of direction for them. Matt knew it too. That’s why we also got a change to Bullet for my Valentine. They changed for the same reasons. But still kept to the sound in a way.

@@jimmygee3219 no no, he also had a serious issue with his voice around 2014 which got worse around 2016 until now. Listen to his 2018 performance of this song and you’ll notice how bad it sounds. Especially when singing lyrics like “of your afterlife here so stay. He can barely even sing the words in that pitch anymore. Now, if you listen to one of the most recent interviews he explains he had a severe injury to his voice that most singers don’t come back from and ended up on complete vocal rest for a few months

the Rev's vocals are the SPIRITS of that song
The Rev wrote this song..
Second heartbeat, live LBC reaction!! 🤩
This is the third single from their self-titled album. The song features a string orchestra and was written by the band's drummer, The Rev. Some of the songs in the album used strings instrument as background.
The whole band, but especially Shadows/Rev, were on FIRE this entire show. Gotta be one of the best rock concerts of all time.
Scream Beast and the Harlot Gunslinger A Little Piece of Heaven At this point, the whole live🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
please keep doing more from this concert! seriously one of the best concerts you can react to
10:45 has got to be the most iconic moment of this band That awesome harmony between Shadows and Rev, right into the guitar duel, Syn nailing the solo, Shadows amping it up into a maniacal laugh while Syn just let's that final note ride holding the guitar with a single finger by the whammy like he just accomplished the impossible. Just goddamn iconic.
This concert was amazing! You can pick pretty much any song here and have a good time.
Critical Acclaim from this concert is really great too!! Has more of the drummer singing. Scream is fun too, and A Little Piece of Heaven. Might as well watch the whole show 😂

You should try Acid Rain or MIA by avenged sevenfold! Some of the best vocals these guys have done in those songs
The fact that one of the guitarist plays an entire show in basucally a suit, is actually insane!
I love your reactions to A7X, keep it up!
The crazy thing is that so much of this concert sounds just like the studio recording. They absolutely killed it.

I'm glad you said the chorus sounds like a ballad. The Rev actually wrote most of this song himself and there is a quote from the DVD from the making of this album that most of the stuff he came up with was very poppy in nature. And it IS a violin. The song features an entire orchestral arrangement. There is a second version of this song from the Diamond In The Rough album that features all the cut parts of the orchestral arrangement.
One of the best live bands I have ever seen. I caught them in Atlanta for Mayhem Fest several years back.

This is definitely one of their best songs in my opinion. From start to finish it's perfect.
Seeing The Rev having fun doing what he loves and does best only for him to unintentionally take his own life a year later just proves that you know nothing sbout people and their lives behind closed doors. We all knew he wasn't sober and we knew he had problems but never expected thst. Rest in peace Jimmy! The greatest metal drummer to grace the genre.
I remember watching this video on repeat back in 2009 when I got into A7X and even after 14 years the chorus still gives me chills.
great reactions! even u r speechless💯💯💯 the best song ever i think. masterpiece from the rev
Great reaction, loving the A7X videos, this whole show is incredible, can’t go wrong with any song from this show, honestly over time you should just keep doing vids from this show until you’ve done them all. Not a live performance but if you like the drummers vocals I highly recommend their song fiction, it was the last song the drummer wrote a few days before he passed away, he does co-lead vocals on it and it’s awesome. RIP the Rev
Rev and shadow when they both sings It gives me a goosebumps🔥
Never got the chance to get into their music for whatever reason, just didnt happen, but your reactions are super fun and too good to fastforward and stuff, so i just got closer to finally discovering this band thanks to you ❤
Its been YEARS since I've watched this performance, i came here to see a good reaction from a pro....speaking of crushes btw lol. I like your reacts! Good stuff!
All of the songs in this particular 1hr video is phenomenal and i wish you could react to all of that songs :D ♥

I'm from Indonesia, thank you so much you was bring up to me back to 12 years ago
The first concert I saw on a CD player, the performance was truly amazing, I really liked it, greetings from the biggest fans of A7X from Indonesia☺☺🙏🙏
When you said the chorus felt almost like a ballad I was like YEAH EXACTLY because that's what makes A7X amazing (my personal opinon ofc). They include so many different elements in a single song like different instruments or choirs, strings, piano etc. and the rhythm & singing style always change, keeping you alive. That's why most of their songs feel like a rollercoaster ride. When the lyrics are also satisfying and meaningful the become such enjoyable art pieces.
Love you racheal, i really like seeing your reaction😍😍
me in the early 2000s yes very much in love with singer... me in 2023 going to see them for the 8th time, still very much in love with him haha.
Beautiful rayaction🤗☺️
This concert is really amazing, do more reaction for another music from this concert, i think you will be love this god dayum masterpiece :3
i'm a straight male sitting behind a computer screen and I have a crush on the lead singer 😂such great stage presence and a fantastic singer
First and foremost I wanna say that I’m biased as A7X is my favorite band, but they’re easily top 3 best concert experiences I’ve ever had. And it’s top three because it’s hard to rank them. Secondly, I think you said something super interesting that’s relevant to the band to this day. As you said, they have a unique sound. I remember at the absolute height of their popularity hearing discussions about it, that essentially came down to “They’re too metal for rock and too rock for metal”. They were thrown into the nu-metal/ metalcore sort of category and even then it was still talked about. It just comes down to the fact that they’re themselves, and they’re not afraid to make stuff that their intrigued by. They’re so themselves, that that’s kind of a talking point currently. In the fifteen years that this came out, they’ve evolved and changed as a band. They’re set to release an album early June and it’s the first one in seven years. They’ve released two tracks and it’s much different from what you’re hearing now, and they get compared to the “old” sound. It’s the same with bands like Muse. They evolve, and fans get up in arms about it.
I saw them in London England during this time in their careers... DEFINITELY the best A7X era! Their stuff has gotten kinda weird now, but everything UP TO Hail To The King.... THAT is the Avenged Sevenfold I loved and saw when the incredible Jimmy The Rev was still with us! ❤😢💔🤘🤘🤘
Really enjoying your take on these tracks Ray! You should complete what I consider the other 3 bands from the "big four" of 2000's Metalcore & check out Avenged Sevenfold's contemporaries, them being: Trivium, Bullet For My Valentine & Killswitch Engage. There were other great Metalcore bands during this time for sure but those 4 were definitely making the most waves I'd say, especially from a "mainstream/commercial" perspective. All are incredibly talented bands with great vocalists & they've all been killing it since the early 2000's & are still going today. I would recommend starting with their older/most well known tracks though (anything from early 2000's - 2006 typically)
In the studio version the Rev actually does the crazy scream after his vocal part
Yup bout to go watch live in the Lbc again
First time in 2009 or 2010 i heard Avenged sevenfold until now it's always my favourite Band ever
Love your reaction, keep it up on A7X Live at LBC!
BEST concert I've ever been too! A7X in the 04-11 years were absolutely insane..but you need to look at Gunslinger from LBC..
Jimmy "the Rev" Sullivan... what a legend!! RIP
i literally unintentionally hold me breathe when at the end of the chorus matt does the scream with the laugh and syn just yanks his floyd rose to the max to match his scream like REEEEEEEEEEEE gives me goosies lol
I'm excited for this one
This is my anthem in life right now....currently somewhere I don't want to be or belong and can not wait to leave.
i like how u react every single part...
A little peace of heaven live, you definitely have to check that one out
They brought in damn near a full orchestra for many songs on this album. All legit stuff
They made a webseries documenting the recording of the album they were promoting during this tour which was their Self-Titled album, I would highly suggest watching it. Its really funny and cool to watch their thought process. This song in particular was cool because the drummer actually wrote the lyrics and the melody that this song was spawned from, they also decided in this album to all do their own backing vocals. Prior to this album M. Shadows would do all of the backing vocals and then they would have to match his voice live. But they figured that recording their own backing vocals made more sense.
They had whole band with strings in studio for the string parts. You can actually search for Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife making of, and see the whole process. It was fun.
i miss you Jimmy The REV foREVer🙏😭😭❤️🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
Those screams from M Shadows sound more musical because he actually does put his voice into them, which gives them a distinct pitch. He's really good at those.
finally seeing them this year for the first time but man do i wish i could have seen the Rev play
This is an unbelievable channel, you can feel things that nobody felt. I think the Rev is in pain....
cant wait❤
RIP the Rev ( drummer ) we will always miss you...

They just released a second new song
They've never been a band to shy away from more classical instrumentation. A lot of people are suggesting A Little Piece of Heaven, which might still be one of their most creative songs from an instrumentation standpoint. It's amazing. Just be aware though that the subject matter of the song is extremely vulgar, it's a twisted love song with murder and some even more disturbing things. They basically told The Rev to write the zaniest, whackiest song he could. Definitely worth a listen though. Unholy Confessions may be my favorite song from this concert too!
More, more, moreeee!!!!

Please, just please, do Scream - Avenged Sevenfold live LBC too. That performance is just... I don't have a word. Greetings from Brazil
You’re right about the bridge. They use an orchestra in the studio for a lot of their songs so it’s just a recording live. Ps. I’d sell one of my kidneys to be able to see just one live show with the Rev
Beast and the harlot and scream are 2 songs that you should most definitely look in to. Both are part of this live also
