The last segment with the caveman returning is history being doomed to repeat itself :(

The drummer for this is the legendary Brooks Wackerman. Their new drummer since 2015

I think it's about how we as people love tragedy and violence cause you can tell the crowd was enjoying all the death on the stage

M. Shadows explained the song's lyrical content to : "It needed to be a statement and a song with scenery. It's like a human being born and seeing that this is all bulls--t. That this is crazy. You know, as an atheist, of course we create a God who looks just like us. Of course we do this. And of course we do that and not understand each other so we blow each other up and think we're the bigger guys because we have the bigger bombs. It's such a childish way of looking at things but it's like our highest level of intelligence - and that's what we're doing to each other. We don't need to do all these terrible things to each other. So the record really sets you up as somebody that's full of a, 'This is bulls--t, what the f--k!?' feeling." The video focuses on a marionette stage, depicting humans throughout history killing each other. The camera cuts on occasions to a barbaric crowd, cheering on the bloodshed. Vocalist M. Shadows suggested to the that the human race appears incapable of learning from its bloody history. "The video alludes to somebody watching over us, watching us kill each other over senseless things and not understanding each other. As soon as it gets to a certain point there's a push of a button and the simulation starts over, like we can't figure it out and that's more of a humanistic view, like why can't we just treat each other better? We're all here and we just do the same things to each other over and over, whether it's dropping bombs on each other or beating each other with sticks. That's what it's really about. It's not meant to be a political endorsement of any candidate or whatever else people want to talk about in KZfaq comments."

We are doomed to repeat history if we don't change. Hence the caveman at the end.

I was literally just searching 'A7X reactions' clicking through videos looking for 'the stage' and boom, you upload this. Keep safe. 🙏💪

The video is about humans not learning the lesson. Humans will always be destructive. Throughout time as they show, nothing changes. We are the problem with the world. Its supposed to make you see this and want to do better than everyone. Like you said be your own person, see the wrong and do the right thing, even if no one else is.

At the end, it was death clicking the reset button. And humanity starting from scratch... In hope they learn from the mistakes... Or to repeat the mistakes until it is a shutdown...

Syn gates popped off in this song! Fun fact the ending guitar part was a him and his dad. They play a form of gypsy type guitar. It really is fun to listen to them play together. Syn has his own guitar school which is amazing. Great song though and you are dead on as far as to the meaning of the song.

Beast and the harlot, don't recommend the music video because they take away a lot of the song

Curious as to why disagreeing that the US is the greatest country is the world is automatically equated with hating the US?

I don’t feel like a lot of people really appreciate how applicable the lyrics and theme of this song are especially in todays climate. Like A7X has dozens of great songs but some songs transcend being in a top 5 list and this is one of them.

Avenged Sevenfold - Second Heartbeat Live in 2003 from Warped Tour

This is how they start their shows and its pretty cool

Avenged Sevenfold - AFTERLIFE

I'd like to think and many can agree, that the final master of puppets is one of The Four Horseman, *Death* People need to head your advice, you gave the same advice I always give out in this video 👍

This song is a masterpiece.

gettin closer, GIBBZ! 🤘🏻🔥🍻 CITY. OF. EVIL. ALBUM. just pick one and thank me later 🤙🏻

I’m all about having your own thoughts, but I think it’s very ironic that this reaction got turned into spreading your political opinions. This song is literally bashing on how corrupt/violent our governments and rulers are (now and throughout history), and how we are being controlled and manipulated into a tragic world by them. It doesn’t matter what political side you’re on, neither one is in the right, all they truly care about is keeping power out of the hands of the people.

“why they making the blue coats look like that?” cuz they were like that lmao

This video to me has always been a way of showing how violence has always been human nature. And how this violence is pushed by some leaders to keep everyone in check. No doubt that throughout history violence was always the answer to everything. And it’s only going to let us get so far as a human race. One of the deepest scenes was the part where the poppy flowers, which represent WWI veterans, were just trampled by WWII. Since WWI was the “war to end all wars” and those hopes were just destroyed and almost as if the sacrifices of WWI vets were all for nothing.

I freaking love this video

7:47 someone didn't pay attention in history class in school in fact the whole video is a history lesson the beheading was Marie Antoinette

The button kinda had two meanings imo. It was one symbolizing some higher being, likely death, pressing the reset button as history repeating itself, and also symbolizes our use of nuclear weapons to be the extinction of the human race, hence the appearance of it being a big red button. That's mainly my own opinion on it though. The whole video, to me, tells a story of how throughout history, humans have done pretty horrible things, mainly in the name of greed and/or religion. Whether it be killing one another for small, mundane things, making slaves of others, murdering innocent people and taking their land, burning people at the stake due to certain beliefs of a higher being, having wars due to said beliefs differing from one another, etc. The people watching it unravel are taking it all with a grain of salt because they didn't have to experience any of it. They probably see it as history and nothing more, and that nothing like that could happen again. Then, the final message of them appearing on the stage paints the picture of our generation being next to perform. We are all being controlled like puppets by our leaders just as everyone in history did as well. In the end, we will all cause our own destruction and death will take us all. History will repeat itself, as it is doomed to. I probably didn't hit the nail on the head with this one, but then again, that's just my interpretation of the song. We are all just sheep, just puppets following our puppet masters, regardless of our thinking otherwise, and we are all being controlled by death. In the end, death will have what was owed.

can “CARRY ON” be the next reaction pleaseeeee 😭

The Rev would be proud of the drums done by Brooks. Just as you said Gibby.

Fun fact Brooke Wackerman was the one drummer the rev actually loved as a drummer so in sure the rev is elated with him in his stand on drums foREVer JS.

Preach!!!, much love, keep up the good work

Yeeeahhhh boyyyyy, Insane Song!!! Thanx!

I just got some new-found respect for you from this video. God bless you sir 🤘🔥

Thanks, i was waiting for this reaction 👍🏾

Gibby do avenged sevenfold paradigm and do sleeping with sirens the bomb dot com

Best reaction I’ve seen to this song man.

Avenged Sevenfold - Unholy Confessions (live in the LBC) #Trump2020

I can’t wait for this

“when the walking apes decided nuclear war was the only solution for them keeping the score” that is deep

Preach it, my friend! If we continue to follow the 'media' and 'leaders', we are nothing better than puppets. We have to follow our own path, no matter what we are told. Be strong in our beliefs, but treat everyone as the true brothers and sisters that we are!

Avenged sevenfold - Shepherd of Fire or This Means War

Amen brother, love the videos and ur awesome bruh... Much love and stay safe

Sunny disposition and paradigm from the stage album. Absolute jams

Sound Of The Silence - Disturbed

Should do their song "Crossroads", its a political song and hes sings about the left/right

The wicked end is one of their best, it tells you what the bands religion is so I recommend for you to listen if you wanted to know

"Boi the rev would be proud of them drums!" YES HE WOULD THOSE HERTES ON THE KICK ARE INSANE

Watching this in November 2020 and the theory of the great reset really makes the end of this music video kinda spooky lol. Its like the hand pressing a reset button, makes you wonder haha

If you don't know at the end of everything the one to control everything is death

I think the end is portraying that there could be a nuke and we could all start over. Notice that the final scene is like the first

4:40 is FACTS brother! just subscribed after i watched this and your reactions to ADTR

2020 best KZfaqr I’ve came across

Nice video man, love it.

You sir have earned my sub. Love your channel

I recommend you "Doing Time" Live in Pinkpop 2014, by Avenged Sevenfold.

Ffinally bro did It!! Avenged Sevenfold forever 🦇☠🦇

I died laughing when you said that guy was sus xD I agree bro

Much respect to you sir.

So the hand at the end just hit the reset button on history, just for us to repeat it

AMEN! my brother!

Lady being burned is a “witch”, the idea is that many of these people are just following orders blindly. Immoral or not.

Good on you Gibby for not being afraid to speak your mind on politics. I absolutely hate it when people pussyfoot around it to avoid pissing some fans off. Thanks for a great reaction as usual!

Love your reaction man! Hahahaha gibby gang!

YESSIR LOVIN SOME A7X IN HERE! FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIMS

To help you out with the interpretation (at least from my perspective), the video depicts different periods of history with the common motif that is instilled in us humans and that is sadly violence and desire for power starting at prehistoric age, the first contact of two tribes probably lead to violence (hard to provide valid proof for this one), but as for the others we know that the egyptian and roman civilization was build on slavery and one group of people exploiting the other, same goes for Vikings and discovery of American continent by Europe, even though there were also positive things like trade and co-existence, the first "instinct" was to destroy, exploit and conquer aka the powerful and more advanced showed their way by force, continuing to the medieval ages with wars and the french revolution with the guillotine beheading, even though this is considered as a step forward in history, where people took power from the king it is again a path paved in violence and death. Then the WWI and WW2 with very brief period of peace (flowers) as you mentioned where the leaders were sitting in the background and the devouring of land and nations was happening somewhere else on the battlefields and leading us to the contemporary history, where the so called world leaders (the depictions were of Hillary Clinton, Angela Merkel of Germany, Putin of Russia, North Korean leader...) are controlling the people like puppets on strings through media and politics and those are only controlled by their own evil thoughts (depicted as death or the devil), which is an unknown figure pushing the button, which I believe is the ultimate depiction of power as currently we are so advanced that the world as we know it can be destroyed by the push of a button (aka launching nuclear weapons of mass destruction) and by looking at the history, we humans have this destruction in us and if it comes to the point that the button is pushed, the world and humanity would be set back to the prehistoric era because everything would be lost.

Next : Beast and the harlot live LBC Bat country live LBC Afterlife live LBC Second heartbeat live LBC Unholy confessions live LBC M.I.A Scream Blinded in chains Trashed and scattered Strength of the world

It’s time for you to see them live now . They sound just as good as studio 🤘🏼 you didn’t dig lil piece of heaven to much but bro you’ll see the true talent of them live in the lbc please go watch it🙏🏻🙏🏻 Gibby gang !!

This song and video depicts violent atrocities that humans have enacted on other humans throughout history, the crowd are the common people watching it happen, being desensitized to it, allowing it to happen, and sometimes even cheering and approving it. At the end, the world leaders are together as the puppet-masters, but really have their own master (death). The big red button is nuclear war, which in the song's opinion is inevitable, which resets humanity back to the stone-age with the nuclear winter and it seems the cycle of destruction is just able to begin anew. Also, simulation theory is hinted at and a big theme of this album. If you don't know what that is, you should check it out, it's pretty crazy stuff.

I love this reaction.. new sub

Bro you have to check “Beast and the Harlot” “Bat Country” (both album versions, not music videos) and “MIA” from their City of Evil album. The whole album is a banger but these three are straight smackin’

Thanks god to do this reaction

Ik you probably wont see this, but those flowers grow after the aftermath of war

Oh heck yeah dude

Avenged sevenfold critical acclaim live at rock am ring crazy vocals from m.shadows 👍

This is one of those songs where you couldn't put it in a rap song or it wouldn't be allowed to go mainstream because of the lyrics They're trying to let people know even though they won't listen. The world is a stage

I like how you aint afraid to express your political affiliation man keep the good content up!

My perspective to the song an video. Is a quote. "I don't know what weapons will be used in world war 3. I DO know what weapons will be used in world war 4. STICKS AND STONE'S" A. Einstein

We need some Mudvayne reactions pls😭 have you done their song Happy?

Finalllyyyyy

🔥🤘

big bro which headset is that?

When I do shopping sprees, I browse long like A.D.

Thank you

I really enjoy ur react

3:14 “Vikings” lol.

The last part is civilization thrown back into the dark ages and dawning of man after the nuke war and killing the planet becomming ice age again.

The ending was showing that the one thing that controls everyone is death, and when the button was pushed, it’s representing the nuclear button. After nuclear war, there’s a nuclear winter and mankind will go back to caveman days.

Just to clarify, the end is "resetting" back to the beginning. Sticks and stones. The button represented nuclear war. The one you said was pelosi was actually clinton and to the left of her was angela merkel and to the right of her was putin

This song so amazing bro

I love how disrespected he feels from the truth...sorry I meant the video clip

Controversial News Network lol! I love it!

13:54 i never actually thought of iT as Nancy Pelosi. What i see is Margaret Thatcher on the left and Hillary on the right, although i could be wrong. Its weird cuz Thatcher isnt a very good target for criticism. From what i know, i think she’s kind of a Hero to her country (England), kind of like a female Churchill. I may be wrong though, (im american) Also 14:48 i think what that is means like he pressed the big red button and iT shows us the original first scene, so its like nuclear war and humanity is wiped out, restarting at the beginning. As Albert Einstein Saïd, something like this: World War 3 Will be fought with nukes, World War 4 Will be fought with swords and Spears

Truth man

How you feelin the Falcons new uniforms?

D-Gibby please check out their song roman sky. Its so peaceful, and the harmonies are mesmerizing. I think you will enjoy it. And gotta say I love your videos man. Love your energy, keep up the good work brother

A7x- beast and the harlot is my favourite song. It will get you pumped up!!!

Avenged sevenfold - critical acclaim!!

it's telling our humanity from ice age

Gotta do their song MIA. Love that song lots

Gibby, please PLEASE listen to Sevenfold’s 2023 album, “Life Is But A Dream…” It’ll blow your mind ALL up. Cheers brother.

Nah man. You’re a professional yapper. Its insane.

Should check out Exist by them. 15 minutes of awesomeness
