I'm jealous of anyone who gets to dive into the Avenged Sevenfold rabbit hole for the first time. It's a great ride man! Enjoy it.

Come on guys lets get him to an album reaction of Waking The Fallen love the reaction Dan!

I have an old friend that i grew up with, and we first heard this album when i was 12 and he was 10. As the years have passed, we are no longer friends. This song makes me want to reach out to him from time to time, but its really best left in the past. Just sharing my personal connection to this song

Wait until you hear “Eternal Rest”

I hope you get the chance to read this and apologies in advanced if it gets lengthy. But I just had to address a few comments you’ve made listening to A7X that made me go like and subscribe. I’m digging your reactions because you get it, A7X aside, you get just music in general and I appreciate that in a reactor. I was 12, practicing with a few friends to play “wipeout” for our 8th grade talent show when me buddy burned me a copy of his “waking the fallen” album and I’ve been fucking hooked ever since. See, my parents had me at 16 so they were all about the 80’s and I grew up with music like Metallica/Motely Crue/etc. But unfortunately I was growing up in an era when you bought an album for 1 or 2 songs and the rest was “filler”. And hearing you say “man I thought this was going to be a filler song” made me go back to hearing them for the first time again lol. One thing you’ll learn is A7X doesn’t make filler music, anything they put out is pure quality. And I don’t even mean that as in just a “good song”. I mean that whether you like the song or not they put a lot of work into and I’m happy to see you recognize that. Those guys work hard and put their heart and soul into it. Even if you don’t like the music (it’s not for everyone), you can’t deny they are absolute masters of the craft. The key changes, time changes, arrangements, changing the chorus/verses/etc throughout the song. They do things they say shouldn’t be done in music, but yet it works. They have single songs that would be some bands entire album lol. They hold a special place to me because they were my “Metallica”. Having grown up in an era where bands were putting out one hit wonders and disappearing while my parents had bands that stood the rest of time, A7X was a breath of fresh air. Anyways, if you made it this far into my fanboy rant I appreciate man lol. But for what it’s worth, their first album “sounding the seventh trumpet” is worth listening to, but probably not reacting to. It’s not the A7X lineup you know from Waking the fallen and on. The entire waking the fallen album is worth listening and reacting to, so is everything from then on lol. That’s another point I need to point out, you keep saying “oh this is definitely my favorite song”. Yea, that happens with every song lol. Even after 20 years I listen to a random one and go “oh this is definitely my favorite”. But then the next song comes on and I go “oh wait, no this is my favorite”. Rinse and repeat. Keep doing you man, I’m loving the reactions and patiently waiting for the next!

Waking the Fallen is the second best album. City of Evil will always be number 1

I just discovered this song and remenissions a week ago. It hit me today why the called it remenissions. I was loving the riff at 40seconds but I noticed they didn’t play it again in the song. Then I realized that entire song is composed of riffs that aren’t reused. Hence the name because I was like man I wish they played that riff again 😂

By far my favorite Avenged album.

totally agreed dude the progression and variation of this song, along with the outro solo working so well, this was artistically one of their best songs

Keep em comin🔥🎸

I remember I used to get the train for an hour twice every day for two weeks in 2012/13 and I listened to waking the fallen front to back! I fell in love with avenged on this album

a7x have songs with intro guitar solo, bridge guitar solo, outro guitar solo or even three guitar solo in a song (intro, bridge, and outro).

yep, great album and City of Evil also! they are kings of transitions

DAN YOU SHOULD REACT TO THE WHOLE ALBUM! :P

Love this band. So many great songs.

My favorite by them. My band got to play a show with them in Houston. I signed my name next to theirs in the green room. foREVer. My is ya buddy! 🤘

Oh shit i missed this one!! one of my favorite solo's

With most bands starting with the 1st album makes sense, with Avenged Sevenfold it’s a grey area, some people like it, but I’d say most fans don’t care for it much, it’s raw and heavy, but not structured well, which the band actually admitted, the 2nd album is where it started to get better, then got even better with later albums, so fans cling to this album, I’d say start with this album and go from there, then you can go back to the first one.

Perfect.

My favorite song off of waking the fallen record is chapter four, it's a song about kain and able pretty sick that and you won't see me tonight 1&2 are also sick af

Start with waking the fallen.

I would recommend watching this song live. There are a lot of videos but, there is one from Warped Tour 2003 (not the best quality) but awesome nonetheless!

HAHA Randy Johnson fast!!!! Love it

🤘🤩

You would enjoy the wicked end

Yeapp!

Nice reaction bro, I enjoy it! A7X it's my favorite band, and I just waiting for you react to "City Of Evil" album from them. Just go and check out, I'm sure you will be amazed by their changes in this album. I'm waiting for it

How can i make a song request? 💰

The composition of this album is absolutely stunning. There's a reason why A7X has legions of followers and a lot of them started here.

Hey Dude, I've sent you some requests via paypal a while ago, did you receive them? :)

"Rarely is it an intro" My friend, you GOTTA check out "Eternal Rest" from this same album

and this album was written when they were in their early 20's

Yep start woth Waken the Fallon. Then go from there. You wont be disappointed.

You first reaction?

Please check out Disney goes Rock!!!! This guy covers all disney Songs so well 😳

Hey man, please react to: Kim Dracula Feat. Jonathan Davis - 70 Thorns 🧛 Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹

Broh when U want listen matt voice like that but not in old album & this live concert I recommended one song tittle God Hates Us live in rock am ring that from nightmare albums fun waiting for next react ;)

You should listen to „Epic waste of time“ by Avenged Sevenfold

The best album of them. Desecrated Through Reverence is my fav

To be honest, this and Remenissions aren't even the best of this album (though both are great). I think it's time to react to this whole album. If you liked these two, you're gonna love the rest.

Please do the whole album. The first album is not really worth it

Those Slipknot fans you speak of are what we call fake fans.

I'm glad you did this version of the song, there's another one that's in my opinion much worse.

To me, first album was not good, there are couple of good songs but the whole experience was not worth it for me. From the second album onwards its a banger after banger.
