Paid For The official channel it just seems you were taking lyrics at face value and I think you should know that it is way deeper than that. But to your credit the do use a lot of biblical references take their name for example it comes from a passage in revelations. And by the way if you like looking for spiritual themes check out their song the beast and the harlot it has to do with another passage in revelations. Thank you and have a blessed day. And in no way was my original comment made out of disrespect.
Dude M. Shadows' voice was so good back then. It's still good now but I love his voice so much I want to sound like him when I grow up. He is so amazing.
Stop thinking of it as "glorifying something" cause its not. Its just a song that tells a story with no personal ties to the band themselves. This is done a billion times in rock and metal. Listen to Dear God by Avenged Sevenfold a lot different than this.
The song is describing a prophet the speaks of the end of the world and the narrator’s thoughts on spending time with his significant other because he does not know whether he will go to heaven or hell. It’s also describes the way that the masses can uproar over one person’s religious thoughts and opinions.
I think you take every word they say way too literally. Avenged uses metaphors like crazy. And this song is just a story, it's not coming from a place of anger from the band.
Jason Andrade if I said messed up it wasn’t what I meant, more like influences their reality in a profound and potentially difficult way for their growth. Thanks for watching and commenting!
According to Genuis lyrics this song is about how "mankind is corrupt, being controlled by money, waging endless wars and, as time goes on, its gonna be the downfall of civilization."
Metal is a very passionate genre of music. It expresses emotions you won't find in most other music. Some of it definitely might be cathartic, but a lot of it has the intent to support and heal. It is full of metaphors and symbolism, without much attachment to what others define them by. Satan, evil, and often times God as well are all used to represent other subjects and feelings rather than their biblical meanings. Stories of personal depression and anger, tributes to the death of loved ones, and songs made to support a cause can all appear right along side songs made as middle fingers to certain groups of people in an album. None of metal is made to glorify or support sides, and you'd do well to not picture it like that. There's no need for concern over "impressionable teens." I'm seventeen, and people seem to think most youth are weak-willed. I disagree with that sentiment, but even if it was the case, it'll hurt the youth a lot more than it would protect them. Freedom of thought and the ability to explore these emotions and subjects provide a lot of mental development kids need; the restriction of this is what has lead much of my generation to being close-minded and rather dull, if you ask me. All in all, I'd still say that it's a great video; rather intriguing to see your reception of it.
Avenged sevenfold actually got their name from the book of Genesis, specifically abel and cain...seventh son of a seventh son shall be avenged seven times,
You guys should check out Crossroads by avenged Sevenfold. Though, i think he might have some great things to say about it; i also want to see you guys check out Won't see you tonight part 1.
Yes one of the reasons I listen to metal and avenged sevenfold is because it puts out a powerful energy all through my mind, body, and soul that makes me feel powerful, invincible, and a total badass. The total opposite of what I am lonely, depressed, scared, angry, etc. Avenged Sevenfold and other bands have helped me through my troubling teenage years and still to this day with issues on a personal level.
This song is about a sinner who is living through the biblical apocalypse. It's not justifying or glorifying anything, it's telling the story of humanity's downfall from the point of view of someone who knows he's probably going to hell because he can't let go of his sin. The whole album, City of Evil, is themed around how sin leads to the downfall of humanity. So the album does kind of have a Christian message.
Personally I don't feel that its the artist's responsible to self censor what young minds hear or see, that responsible rest firmly at the feet of the parents to listen to it and engage in conversations with their kids. There are so many tools out there to help parents with doing just that. For a more in depth argument of this please take time to listen to Dee Snyder from the band Twisted Sister testimony before Congress in 1985.
You don't understand the song. The story of this song is about a man whose life in misery and sees something most of people don't. He sees people swallowing lies for life, stab in the dark whilst they don't realize it will wound their future. I think the message of the song is to look forward in the future, that there will be chaos if mankind is not considering the sins that they're doing.
The only problem here is that he doesnt know a7x well enough to see where they are going with their lyrics. A7x most of the time, especially this song they are talking about problems of the humanity in general not about themselves. Obviously most of the nightmare album is about their hurt from the rev but other than that album most of their work is talking about worldly issues not personal
@@Kbecker2436 yeah i figured he wasn't very familiar with them. He still had some good input though even not knowing them. And yes that would be great! I really like yalls videos! Should do some more lyrical breakdowns of a7x for sure they get really deep. Yall keep up the good work fr!
I always enjoy to see songs, or a band like A7X that does dabble in the religious ideology and not always positively. I'm not religious, by any means, I'm 27, haven't been in a church since I was 2, for my parents wedding. But yeah. It's just neat to see the "other side" of it. I love Avenged, it helped me through my teenage and on. I'll stop writing now but, y'all got a follow from me.
This song is,about how the wicked end will come when planets a line its in the bible there not,worshiping the devil there telling what the holly war will be like
This guy cannot think outside of the books he's read lmao its like he barely has his own train of thought, everything has to lead back TO THE BOOK AND EXACTLY HOW IT WAS, and the whole, "ah i can't relate to how people feel because i'm just so righteous and everything goes well for me nowadays" BS
I think this song is a lot less an emotion and a lot more a story of when the messiah comes back and you have to watch everyone you loved be blessed but know you’re going to go to hell
If you see this comment listen to the song again in your own time and come at from the point of view that it is a story and you’ll see the story and how it’s actually a very beautiful and deep song. Especially in the middle part when it’s talking about “don’t go to sleep tonight” he’s with his loved one and knowing he is spending his last seconds with her and showing a deep emotional side to the character of the story
I’m just upset you disrespected one of the best solos that Syn’s ever done lol a lot of this album and this song specifically is a lot of metaphors but this is definitely about people regretting their choices and life after the rapture and mankind being their own downfall by greed, war, etc.
Everyone's wrong in this comment section lmao. This song is clearly about revelations and the rapture. And how man fell into sin. I've seen recently that you are ex pastor I pray you still have hope in Jesus as your savior he knows our pain and will help us one day.
How disappointingly narrow minded you are. It’s just a piece of music at the end of the day, you talked over the whole thing and never gave it a chance

From what I understand, this song is about those who are left behind after believers are raptured and finally realize their folly when it's too late.
I don’t think he understands this band uses a lot of metaphors.
Johnny Bazen You are certainly right, I am no expert of this band or genre.

Actually the band name is from the Book of Genesis.
Yup I agree

Oh forgot to mention still a good video. Keep going man.
Chaos2020 thanks for the feedback, I am doing the best I can in the moment so you get an authentic reaction. Be sure to check out our new videos.

The whole album is about the book of revelations..I don’t think they were trying to be edgy..great reaction though👍
I believe that city of evil aside from betrayed is a biblical concept album. A lot of metaphors
>Aside from Betrayed
You forget about - Missing In Action, - Blinded in Chains, - Sidewinder - Trashed and scattered - Seize the Day and Burn it Down
I think you take every word they say way too literally. Avenged uses metaphors like crazy. And this song is just a story, it's not coming from a place of anger from the band.
Ry Guy and they aren’t using 666 to be “edgy.” Lol.
Nope, it's used for imagery. I think the lyrics are amazing. They paint the picture of the story really well in your head.
Ry Guy to be honest man, pretty much any song from A7x is made to get you thinking at the end of the day. No matter the topic. That’s why I love them.
don't let him hear MIA . he might think they are murderers xD
I figured the 666 was like a reference to the 300 kinda
When this song said "Messaihas coming "I got goosebumps idk whyy
It's a shame so many people think music like avenge's messes up young people still cool video always interesting see others opinions of songs
Jason Andrade if I said messed up it wasn’t what I meant, more like influences their reality in a profound and potentially difficult way for their growth. Thanks for watching and commenting!
This song is literally biblical. Filled with many direct quotes from Revelation
The band just reminds us that THE END is near..
"I wont speak on the bands musical ability, I dont have a reference for that."
I mean...you do have EARS, right?
According to Genuis lyrics this song is about how "mankind is corrupt, being controlled by money, waging endless wars and, as time goes on, its gonna be the downfall of civilization."

Broc Baney Thought provoking and something I will take into account.
I'd say i like the part where he carrys on the scream after the fast talking
"What about these impressionable teenagers" ? Look who is calling the kettle black! lol
Approved.
Have him react to Trivium- “The Sin and the Sentence.” I’d love to hear his thoughts on that song :)
Avenged sevenfold actually got their name from the book of Genesis, specifically abel and cain...seventh son of a seventh son shall be avenged seven times,
"YOU SHALL NOT BE DERTAINED"
You need to kick up the volume-can barely hear you or the song.
Terry Cairl let us know if it got better on our recent uploads. Thanks for watching!
Paid For The official channel it did
You would have a aneurysm over 'Little piece of heaven' 😅😂
Hell yeah this is my favorite song from City of Evil.React to Between the buried and me "Ants of the sky". Already subscribed my dude:)
Hating me is conforming -I’ll have him react to it. Thanks for the suggestion
BigKat TV there is nothing really about god in it so if that's what you guys are aiming for then react to btbam white walls.God bless
Dude you mentioned The Wicked End being your favorite and BTBAM in the same statement. You are awesome.
Johnathan Walker i like good music what can I say
The Wicked End is literally about the Apocalypse book of the Bible
Why’d you talk over the solo 😡 that’s the best part of avenged
JmanBassTric 364 sorry about that, Big Kat is supposed to mute me if I do that, he must have been sleeping behind those shades...
That's offensive to Avenged Sevenfold. You don't sleep through their music
You guys should check out Crossroads by avenged Sevenfold. Though, i think he might have some great things to say about it; i also want to see you guys check out Won't see you tonight part 1.

This one is my favorite! It was pretty funny seeing your reaction to this one.
Great reaction! one of my fav songs from City of Evil. Have him react to Ghost - Year Zero :)
This is indeed an explicit album
Pastor Andy needs to hear Scream With Me by Mudvayne.

You should react to sidewinder avenged sevenfold
That's super cool of you man
Do you guys do live streams such as twitch?
Thinking about it big time...

Mantap
React to coheed and Cambria- fuel for the feeding end
Do you actually think outside of the box and not just literal???
Hes not glorifying any of this. He's singing about the apocalypse and how society is becoming more corrupt....
You should do Ghost - Year Zero ;-)
Why watch anything if you already want the song to end after ten seconds? Seems like Christians don’t want to expand their mind.
This guy cannot think outside of the books he's read lmao its like he barely has his own train of thought, everything has to lead back TO THE BOOK AND EXACTLY HOW IT WAS, and the whole, "ah i can't relate to how people feel because i'm just so righteous and everything goes well for me nowadays" BS
Check out some more videos... and let us know if things got better
@@Kbecker2436 will do, thank you.
lag?
Do I won't see you tonight part 1
Yeah ummmmm he talked over the whole solo. Why
Can't hear the song.
I think this song is a lot less an emotion and a lot more a story of when the messiah comes back and you have to watch everyone you loved be blessed but know you’re going to go to hell
