I told my friends/co-workers that "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" by Panic At the Disco is one of the best white boy songs I've ever heard. Now they're sending me song suggestions and I'm doing live reactions here, on the Trying White Music series lmao - Zábava
Quick Note! They didn’t give me a song lol. I just did a poll on which band to listen to! So I looked up Avenged Sevenfold and clicked whichever song had the coolest name 😂🔥
I’ll break my rule and do another Avenged Sevenfold song quick because this one was so dope. So, WHAT SONG? 👀
(Obligatory plug although it’s unrelated: patreon.com/robtv)
"Not Ready To Die" - F'n gem. About zombies. 7 minutes of headbanging. People will suggest "Nightmare" and "Bat Country" and "Beast And The Harlot" and "A Little Piece of Heaven", but those are weak if you want to really want a testosterone/pump you up music.
Shepherd of fire by avenged sevenfold, about the same hard ass vibe. Night witches by sabaton has that same "Ima conquer a few cities in an epicly arranged action scene" vibe
This Means War. Same album as Hail to the King. If you want something from a different album then go with Nightmare.
Nightmare
Bat Country
Man as overplayed as this song is, seeing someone else react like on this makes it feel like I'm experiencing it for the first time all over again. I love it
Exactly!
overplayed?
drums are kept quite simple tho. but powerfull. rip.
Well said.
@@clon1122 Yeah, the radio and people like me played the shit out of this to the point some got tired of it. I can listen to A7X forever, but nothing hurts my world, just effects the ones around me.
Yeah, he's really playing that over and over again! Synyster Gates is a phenomenal guitarist. Great reaction!
Just looked it up and saw that this is a stage name lol. At first I thought he just had the coolest parents in the world. But yeah he's a beast off this song alone
@RobTVgaming yeah, they're all names stage names besides Brooks Wackerman lmao M. Shadows (vocals) Synyster Gates (lead [mostly] guitar), Zacky Vengeance (guitar), Johnny Christ (bassist), Brooks Wackerman on drums. Their original drummer was The Rev. This song's drummer was Arin Ilejay. On their Nightmare album, The Rev wrote all the drum tracks before he sadly died, and Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater did the whole album as a tribute.
@@CorePathway yep that's his real name. But his stage name is synyster gates.
@@DarkestFiction "they all had stage names except for the drummer, Wackerman" lmfaoo still sounds like a perfect drummer stage name. love Brooks. remember looking him up when he got announced for a7x and I found out he was the drummer for Tenacious D live shows
Definitely
1:36 he def can play that long, seen it live! These guys played a 4 hour show, no breaks, plus encores. mf BEASTS
I saw them open for Maiden in '08, they were nothing short of amazing!
thats a7x for ya
I envy you
He's not playing that long on the album. He doesn't have to. He played it once & they looped it. Playing live is a different story
@@notofthisgod32 Pretty sure it’s not looped even on the album. Syn is a hell of a guitar player
The guitarist is absolutely continuously playing the repeating riff. Very talented indeed. Takes mega chops to do.
lmao sorrta once you learn the riffs you kinda muscle memory it . just takes practice
My forearms ache just thinking about it. It's one thing to play a very complicated progression but an entire different monster to just hold the line like that.
Actually this song is one of the easiest to play from Syn 😅 he is scary
@@void5231 huh i never thought about it but the song is mostly effects when your playing it on guitar . So that would make sense
In the studio? Doubt it. Live is different, but I'm pretty sure Gates played it once & they looped it for recording purposes.
No loop, he’s doing it himself the whole time. He’s insane
Synyster Gates And Zacky Vengence are legends
Definitely a complete endurance test playing guitar on this track by Avenged Sevenfold
I saw Avenged Sevenfold in concert a few years back, and for this song they started it with having the entire crowd (about 40,000-45,000) chanting “hail! Hail! Hail!) and it was so intense and adrenaline building!!
Loved the video my guy, I’m going to start being a regular viewer starting today!!!!
That sounds sick as f*ck! And welcome!
Happy to say i had to chance to see them live and THE REV was still there. R.I.P best drummer :(
I just saw them live for the first time in July, and omfg, chanting hail with the crowd was so fucking awesome. Unbelievable experience.
Dude I saw these guys at a USO show in Ballad Iraq with a "crowd" of about 100 troops, and they brought concert level energy to that venue. It was absolutely incredible.
He plays it exactly like this live. He’s a classically trained guitarist.
Word? That totally explains it
@@DaxmaPrime His dad plays guitar as well so he's definitely been around it all his life. I don't think he ever stopped actually studying either lol. I've heard in various interviews he always developing his guitar playing on more than just a technical level. I'm sure he has an insane grasp on music theory as a well. He studied jazz and classical I'm pretty sure.
your energy is genuinely a breathe of fresh air, this is my first video I've seen of yours and it made we smile massively the entire time I was watching (just wanted to let you know you've made my day and made a new fan)
Me too
As a woman, it's some warrior shit and gets me hyped every gatdang time. Ready to run through some shields and crack some skulls.
If this song does not make you want to conquest, do you even have a pulse?
Shieldmaidens were a THING!
If this makes you feel like that. You'd love Amon Amarth, Tyr and Brothers of Metal
@@MunkeeFWRrnglike do you even conquer bro?
@@brandonremaly6655those bands are corny as hell
the edit in this is wayyyyyy better, got to that sweet spot where it just enhances your reactions pretty much. Keep it up, dude!
Agreed, when he went super saiyan on that “HAIIIILLLL TO THE KKKKIIIIINNNGGG” I was not expecting a full skit 😂
This reaction to a flat out classic actually breathes new life into this song. If you guys watched stranger things season 4 there was a metallica song that never got radio play and suddenly 20 years later it was charting on the billboard top 100.
Dude you’re a metal head and you better believe it . 😂I swear I have never ever seen a black guy have so much passion for metal like you 😂👍 Because of your unbelievable energy I’m going to sign in to your channel. Awesome.
He looks brown to me 🤔
@@teamjesus6383are u for real? 🙄🤦🏻♀️
metal, punk, and rap are MUCH much closer to eachother than people seem to think. They bleed into eachother fairly frequently
Trust me Its more of him out there I love other genres and barely listen to rap.
Oh, there are a couple more.
Should check out Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold
This is the way
Nah they have better songs
Yes
@@brittanydecker6805 yes
@@l0_pez184 Agreed but Nightmare is not a bad place to start.
man, i just wanted to say that i was having shit day at work and i got home and saw that you dropped another vid. you changed my whole day around. love your energy and your eagerness to listen to new music. much love bro!
Man I’m glad I could brighten your day some! Much love bro and at least you’re getting paid today 💯💯
@RobTVgaming Dude you are a kickass music reactor my man hyping us up!!! Keep the Rock N Roll and Heavy Metal coming baby!! 😎🤘🫶
Hail to the king is a very good song to see live its just mesmerizing because the entire crowd is chanting every word its a site to behold for sure
Your laugh towards the end of the song. That’s what we love to see as metal heads brother. The fact Metal brings you that much joy is beautiful
A7X has an insane discography. Blinded in chains is my favorite track from them.
blinded in chains is so good
The drums on that track are insane. The Rev was something else
I’ll always love that bass lick
Trashed and scattered
The good old days of skipping every song until this one in Most Wanted 05
Afterlife is gas, their entire discography is amazing. They also have an album coming out June 2nd
My fave song
This is the ONLY reaction I was not mad when you paused it during the guitar solo, I ALWAYS get mad at that; however your reaction was so authentic and amazing I didn't mind the pause, keep on rocking sir, this reaction was fire!
Song is so good, and nostalgic it gives me chills to see other people enjoy it
What I love about this guy’s reactions is that he appreciates real musicianship and isn’t easily wowed by modern production tricks (no offense to Falling in Reverse lol)
FIR deserves all offense lmao ronnie radke is a fucking demon
"Nightmare" is awesome! Watch the video if you can. It's a tribute to their late drummer that also plays out like a horror movie. Great song!
So far away was the tribute. Nightmare was the more of a "awareness song" in my opinion. Yk drugs (what killed the Rev) puts you in a nightmare and all the lyrics fit PERFECTLY for drug awareness. (My opinion ofc)
I have listened to this song thousands of times and i still can't get tired of it!!! great reaction man!!!
Everything by avenge sevenfold is worth listening too. It's hard to find groups that have this much talent
if you ever played any Call of Duty Zombies you might not know that Avenged Sevenfold did a lot of secret songs in there. the song "not ready to die" is a real banger.
Shepard of fire is a certified classic
Seeing you enjoy a song is honestly contagious! I can't stop laughing! Keep it up man!
Agreed. He’s such good vibe and so contagious. I’m hooked on his videos if anything for that hahah 😂🎉
officially my new favorite reaction channel. you got so hype it kept me hyped through the pauses. that's awesome.
I love how hype you are over this. This song gets me every time. You are amazing and I love watching you make these videos! Keep doing what your doing.
As much as I love Radiohead and especially Pink Floyd, the crowd got this one right.
I'm on orders in Italy watching this.... I was in tears. crying like a baby laughing. This song is FIRE and I'm glad you got to experience it. I have had it on my physical training MP3 list for a long time. Nice video!!!!
Never stop reactions. So much energy! This is brilliant stuff bro :D
I never heard this. Thanks for being a guy getting introduced to music who is introducing this guy to music. Awesome.
This is my first video from you and Avenged is one of my favorite bands of all time. Your reaction to them was 100% amazing and hope to see you react to more metal. New fan has been earned, keep it up!!
Dude your reaction to this is the absolute best!!! This song is so badass I have to hear it when I’m working out too. They have some others you have to listen to. 🙌
I think this shines a light on why it's cool to write accessible songs sometimes. Lots of Sevenfold fans bashed this album when it came out but to see this song reel someone in so completely was heartwarming.
So glad you enjoyed your listen, the video was super awesome to watch. Loved your reaction and definitely need to listen to more avenged sevenfold myself
My god, even I started sweating while watching you sweat yourself hahahah Always so much fun watching your reactions, keep it up man, the edit is on point too ♥
Love your energy man!
A7x might be my favorite band. Ive been listening to them deeply since i was a teenager and their music still amazes me.
I didnt realize i needed to laugh this hard… thank you for this gem of a reaction 🤣 “AHHHHHHHH!!!” When M Shadows started singing
You should watch the videos of them live. Absolute insanity.
Anything off their City of Evil, self titled album, or Nightmare album is all fire from beginning to end.
Dude, that was one of the most fire reactions I've ever witnessed🔥Already subbed! You're in for one hell of a rabbit hole if you choose to explore Avenged Sevenfold further. You GOTTA watch Nobody from their upcoming album next! The band is about to revolutionize the soundscape of metal on their new album Life is but a Dream.
They're inspired by chord progressions used in Hip Hop & RnB and let me tell you: the guitar work of Synyster Gates on Nobody will melt your face off. It is that lit. You will hear sounds coming out of a guitar you didn't know it was possible to produce. Like a buzz saw meets air-raid siren. And the guitar solo will lift you to another plane of existance, guaranteed. That shit is absolute hype!
Yesss Ive been listening to this new album on a loop today soo good!!
bro you are funny as hell ! just watched this whole series back to back. need some more
Man, the pure joy you experienced on this track brought tears to my eyes! I love it when people can recognize absolute bangers and appreciate it. You sir, have gained a subscribe! ✌️🤙
They are amazing in concert! Go brother!
Love this song & your reaction. You should check out Buried Alive ... one of my favorite songs of any band!
Love your energy man, this video was one of the best yet! You are right on about certain songs that should be heard by everyone regardless of genre. I grew up in a lot of diverse neighborhoods and the music tastes I've taken with me from that have allowed me to enjoy so many genres and it sucks that so many people just aren't able to sit in on some different shit and feel it like you are right now. Keep this shit up man!!!
Instant sub.. this has to be the best reaction video from someone that didn't listen to this genre of music.. love seeing people discover it. Feel like I'm experiencing it for the first all over again 👍🍻
I agree with everything you said about this song. Absolute fire! I enjoy your reacts, man. Great job!
You need to listen to bat country by avenged. Classic
Bro,loving your reaction,i listen to this at work,it pumps me upan puts me in a good mode on a bad night
I’m binge watching your videos because your energy is EVERYTHING, I love it. ❤
It's amazing to see others react to music you know, and then hearing new music through them you might never cross..
Music will always bring us together!!!
Holy shit, your channel is FIRE, man. You are my new favorite! Thank you so much!
Also if you’re looking for some more rock songs, “So Cold” - Breaking Benjamin and “Tears Don’t Fall” - Bullet For My Valentine are both BANGERS
Seems like he'd like Your Betrayal too
I second Bullet, and counter Atreyu "Right Side of the Bed" or literally anything from The Curse, A Deathgrip on Yesterday, or Lead Sails Paper Anchors
@@DrewGalyen Atreyu is goated. Lose It is timeless!
I second both Bullet for my valentine and Atreyu recommendations
I'm thinking "Blown Away" would be a good listen from the Benjamin
Fire! Just straight fire. Man awesome reaction. And you're right abouts songs that exist that are amazing regardless of genre but that we have no idea. Love your energy. You made my day man.
I've seen him play this live. They are amazing. Your reactions are also amazing, your energy is contagious lol.
A7X has been one of my favorite bands since middle school. If you like the epic ancient/medieval vibe, you should check out "Beast and the Harlot." It's about the biblical story of the fall of Babylon.
I’m blown away by this blokes passion and energy. Awesome.
Watching you enjoy music is so infectious. Makes me feel like I’m listening to it again for the first time with you.
Major kudos for stepping out of what you are comfortable with and giving other music genres a legitimate try. I used to hate hip hop until about 10 years ago, and I listen to lots of it now. Keep these videos coming.
Yessss they are straight fire 🔥
And your Achilles reference was dope but he dragged Hector not Paris but I definitely understand where you were going with it! Avenged sevenfold is awesome
You definitely need to hear more songs
I’ve just gotten into metal in my 20s and the 2010s stuff is my favorite for guitar. A7X has a ton of music like this. Dig in🤘
Love these videos. It's nice to see someone open to all types of music even though it's not your main type.
First reaction that I have seen from you. I fucking love the energy bro! I will be coming back for more. Love it, much success to you man
Went to a concert for stone sour and disturbed and was wowed by A7X live performance, they stole the show and I gained a lot of respect for em! Love your reacts and energy my man
Awesome reaction! Can't wait to see you dive more into A7X especially their songs Nightmare and Buried Alive
🤣🤣😂 your reaction to this was fuckin awesome. Cracking up at your commentary and have a huge smile because of it. Love seeing someone hear this for the first time and get pumped tf up.
I live seeing people discover bands that I take for granted. It really does remind me of that first time hearing that song. Your reactions rekindle the flames of the jaded. Thank you 🙏
Your videos have me rolling! Lol I think you would really appreciate the songs "Walk" and "Cowboys from hell" by Pantera. I think thats right up your alley in terms of aggression both in music and lyricism, definitely songs to lift to. 🤘
As a kid I grew up listening to the classic metal bands. Judas Priest, Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Motörhead. But A7X is what got me to expand my horizons with newer metal bands. The day Sounding the Seventh Trumpet dropped and To End the Rapture played on my Sony Walkman I knew I was in for a wild ride and I’ve been hooked on A7X ever since. Each album has something different for everyone. For me personally A7X is one of those bands where I still can listen each album cover to cover and not skip. I can’t pick a favorite song. I’m excited that being a fan of the band for 22 years I finally get to see them live at Aftershock. 🤘🏽
This had so much energy I love it! Definitely gotta hit the bell for your channel.
rob I just wanted to give you some love my dude. You've been one of my favorite watches this year. Keep up the good content
Seeing people react to song likes this that are as old as this for the first time is absolutely amazing. Some people? Not their schtick, but most absolutely love it. This is what you call, METAL. Considering this is two months old, I would recommend someone recommends Sabaton next. You would go nuts on some of Sabaton's songs.😏
RATM. Rage entered my scene in '92 after Rodney King.
Fast forward 30 years and it makes my day to watch people discover them.
The HHH theme was done by a band called Motörhead. You should absolutely check them out!
Finally someone reacting to this banger!!
This is one of my top 5 work out songs. You’ve already reacted to 2 of the 5. 🤘🏼
This band and their music helped me through some rough times and to see someone experiencing it for the first time reminds me of when I first heard it! Can’t wait for you to hear their other songs and learn more about the band
Guitarist Synyster Gates is one of the greates guitarist out there, fun fact is if you see him live, he literally plays songs the same as the studio version, also he always looks unbothered, like he aint even trying
MAX APATHY
Ya bro. If you like this Killswitch Engage and Sevendust both have black dudes singing. You would like them. Five finger death punch is pretty dope too
the algorithm brought me here, but your energy is keeping me here. thanks for making me smile after a long day of work, i needed it
The answer to your first question is yes, he's playing it perfectly for that long. It's called a riff coming from a guitar or bass, so you'd say "is he playing that riff...." and the thing about the riff he's playing is that it's extremely easy to do and very simplistic, but it sounds awesome because of the effects he's adding (phaser, delay, overdrive, likely some others to get his signature sound). He's playing one open note repeatedly with a tapping pattern on the same string at a much slower pace.
I'm really not even a fan of this band, their vocalist kind of ruins it for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction!
It’s not a tapping riff but it is a very simple riff. It’s picked on the B and high E strings. Great riff though
The ENTIRE nightmare album by A7X is FIIIIIRE. Front to back. These guys have always been wicked.
City of Evil and Waking the Fallen to just as hard 💪
Man this is the first video I have watched of yours and I loved it! Literally had me doubled over laughing. Your reaction was basically how I felt hearing this song for the first time back in 2013. I was in high school on my way to work when it came on the radio. I spent my lunch break playing it on repeat
Excellent video! Your attitude and exuberance was really wonderful. As someone who has sometimes had a myopic take on music with a "metal or nothing" view, I hope you can help expand my horizons. Keep it up!
We (my army unit) blared this song on loud speakers while in Afghanistan before going out on missions. The moment we started rolling outside the wire we would play “Bodies” by Drowning Pool on the speakers because we knew the locals hated that song and we were looking for a fight.
We'd roll out playing "Battery" by Metallica - we were an Artillery Maneuver Battery. :D
For us it was always MIA or Gunslinger, blared as loud as we could
I feel like anything by sabaton would be more fitting. Seeing as all their songs are literally about wars throughout history
Way to ruin this song lol. Went from Game of Thrones imagery to "bro we blasted this shit before raiding Afghan villages by cause the third-world civilians being invaded hated that shit"
@@nnbn9204 the same third-world citizens who would use their kids as suicide bombers? The same ones who would gun down men doing humanitarian aid? Yeah, I'm not too broken up about it, fucking Hail to the King
A7X is such a good band if you think this is good the live concerts from them are an absolute spectacle. Went to go see them when they released the Nightmare album and that show was amazing. Honestly their albums as a whole are absolutely killer even sounding the seventh trumpet their first album.
I've watched your take 10 times over. Always delivers the goods Rob. 10 out of 10.
I love this video sooo much, i watch it at least once a week!!
Fun fact about A7X: they used to be a metalcore band. They made music in the same genre as Killswitch Engage and it was fire. Songs like Unholy Confessions are shining examples of the genre.
Second Heartbeat is still my favorite Avenged song.
A7X is awesome! Try bat country next!
Man you looked so happy listening to this song, it was awesome to see.
Fantastic reaction! I don’t even mess with Avenged like that anymore, but this song and This Means War are classics! Keep on doing what you’re doing!
this is not the right Avenged Sevenfold song; A Little Piece of Heaven is a god damn masterpiece. 8 minutes of pure musical genius. but you should check out Nine Inch Nails. I will keep saying this until you do. The Hand that Feeds is my favorite song but We’re In This Together Now is good too
Nooo ALPoH is too corny, it's like Chop Suey for SOAD. It shouldn't be one of the first songs of theirs you hear, it's literally so different from everything else they do
@@happygilmore511 I don’t think it’s corny, but I see your point that it shouldn’t be one of the first songs you hear from them. I still think it’s a phenomenal song though, and it’s my favorite song from them
A7X is a bad ass band. their newer stuff not so much but Nightmare, Bat Country, Beast and the Harlot, Unholy Confessions, Afterlife, Almost Easy, and This Means War! This is a gateway band for me.
Awesome reaction! This song is a banger for sure!
As a long time listener of this bad I can say this made me smile so hard seeing how hype you got. You are in for a treat the further down into their catalog you go.
Watched the whole video with a smile on my face. Always loved A7x and you made it like I just heard it for the first time
It's such a kickass song! The look on your face and how that mug lit up brought so much fucking joy to my life just now! Rock on my man!
Love your energy in this. Had a great time watching you listen to this for the first time. These guys have a million great songs. I recommend “afterlife” as another song by them.
This is the most hilarious reaction I've ever seen on CZcams man hahahaha! Thanks for the laughs, I have been a big fan of this band for years now.
It brings ne immense joy to see someone have such a reaction listing to a band I love
