*A7X:* Here's a breakdown of a cool song, enjoy.
*90% of the comments:* PLEASE DO ANOTHER SONG!
Pretty much.
Very observant
Weeb
Because we want all of them!
Wow they're really going all out with these breakdowns! Awesome!
Yeah
Why are no one requesting Sidewinder with Papa doing one of the solos?
A lot of people are actually
I am
I was just thinking that too like what if they did sidewinder?
I'll throw my hat into that ring. Easily the best City of Evil song, and it never got the attention it deserved.
S P A C Y that song and The Wicked End are the best songs
Love how Matt Shadow is so soft when talking but when singing he's so charismatic and powerfull.
5:30 Zacky making fun of Johny's singing, dear god that was funny
"Dear god"
I see what you did there
I love how Matt gets into his music so much. He seems like a kid jamming out to his favorite band and it's awesome. Few people seem to really love their own art in such a passionate way.
Throwback to when A7X guitar videos were Top of CZcams
Makes me semi sad to know they didn't jam out and write anything really but used software to do it then try learning the parts
@@deminybs what are you on about the software literally does nothing but place the instruments in a mix...
@@jayklly did you not watch this? Zacky mentioned having to learn lots of material after they wrote multiple songs on the computer...
@@deminybs That is probably due to the fact that Zacky wasnt the one playing most parts in the studio, Syn did them so he had to learn them after the songs were made
@@deminybs Syn Writes most of the duo harmony and solo parts, as well as plays them on the album. So in the live setting Zacky has to play them since there isn't 2 Syn Gates, which means he has to learn them. Zacky is also the rhythm guitarist so soloing isn't his strong point, makes it more challenging to learn these parts.
"He knew Johnny would be singing that part"
😂
The chorus where Matt breaks down everything (piano, vocal, backing guitar) would be an incredible remix. A slight "acoustic" feel if the whole song was like that
8:04 "this whole song kinda came to me the night before my wedding" .. had me dying haha!
Nightmare 😂😂😂😂😂
Now we know what the devils show was that he got dragged down to
Josh White- Puller Of Strings 😂😂 omg
Lmao
The funny thing is he wasn't even joking when he said it, he's said before that he legitimately came up with everything in his head when out biking right before he got married. He even recorded the original glockenspiel-sounding intro on a keyboard he had at his house and had most of it fully written by himself while I believe being late for his wedding, which is kinda funny when you think about it
“I remember riding my bicycle after basketball” - M. Shadows or a middle schooler we may never know
So adorable 😍
@@HughWanztino He was still a grown ass man back in 2010 and that's the joke.
Would love to challenge him for a game of basketball tbh
Hey, all adults have an inner child.
@@thomasleerlingme too, especially because he can jump incredibly high!
The way these videos are produced is amazing. The attention to detail with songs dropping in and out of the background etc is just perfect. Massive plaudits to the editing team etc
Yeah, theys are cool
agree, i love seeing the gigantic pro tools sessions, it makes me feel better about mine being huge
6:23
Me:
Shadows: LONG HAAAAIR yeeeeah
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol why does he say that
@@yosewise In the vocal track he's singing "belong here", but when he unpaused it, it sounds like long hair
Luken Struken no I want to believe he’s saying “long hair” lol
@@yosewise yeah
Almost 9 years later and that opening still gives me the chills!! 😍
This is hella dope! Give me more!!
As a producer this is one of the best things I can watch. I get to see exactly how the ones who inspired me at a young age, make music.
I love this series, there are so many parts of these songs that I had know idea were there. The octave chord in the chorus, for example
It makes me appreciate them so much more 🥰❤🤘🏻
I actually knew of this because of it being in the rocksmith chart of the song. But I never would’ve known it was there without that

So Far Away next please or A Little Piece of Heaven
So far away. I can. Listen to this song and always feel the power and emotion and I thi k it would be a great break down to see the feel captured from each individual member. Like make this a 4 part and have everyone's take on the emotion behind their writing for their parts
UP
A little peace of heaven :)
They have an older video already talking about A Little Piece of Heaven, look up A little Piece of Heaven Breakdown in youtube
@@Mcjosh799 thx
I really enjoy those breakdowns, they're a rare opportunity of discovering these tiny details that make an incredible song. And I was especially looking forward to the "Nightmare" one, truly the best metal song in my opinion!
One of the best metal songs ever in my opinion.
I thought this was it already never clicked on a video so fast in my life
The raaaaaaydahs
Some of those drum patterns are phenomenal, I know he is an amazing musician with DT and flying colours but portnoy is a beast within the context of a modern metal band!
The chorus with just the vocals, piano and texture guitar sounds so good.
Hearing this song live was just crazy. I mean to see them live a band I have been like to since I was 12 was just an honor
This song highlights every strength Matt's vocals have and completely stays on where he excels the most.
Zacky is so shy. It‘s incredible he succeeds in a Rockband. Love him!
These breakdowns are really both nostalgic and moving. The way they look back at Jimmy and their reminiscing of how fun it was recording and conjuring these iconic songs during their rise.
6:50 THE PURE GUITAR SOLO SOUNDS SOOOO BAD ASS
This was the song that got me into your band and it’s sooo much cooler broken down and seeing all the intricate parts and the sections that just blend so well. This song is amazing
absolutely one of my favorite songs :)
This album was jimmy’s legacy. I’m glad a7x is revisiting their roots
I love how they pointed out some of the influences from other band's/artists in writing parts of the song.
“And I know you hear there VOOOOICEEEEES...” love that part
CALLING FROM ABOVEEE
@@caiobouwens3015 AND I KNOW THEY MAY SEEM REEEEEAAAAL
@@SMChaos these signals of love
whoever edits these does a great job of keeping the music going in the background when the boys pause it in the program
A little piece of heaven breakdown! I need to hear Jimmy singing the end of the song a capella
For 12 years I’ve wanted to hear that acapella
@@jordanharkins97 exactly!
I really love all these drops, especially at the start of your songs.
I also agree with Mat, Save Me, Buried Alive and Nightmare are awesome.
I like both melodic and screaming, and these 3 captures it all nicely. Each of these songs have strong lyrics, which makes them close to perfect.
Please do A F T E R L I F E
There’s an entire behind the scenes dvd of that album. Song by song. Why do it again?
@@jonanderson7509 I've seen the dvd multiple times and it has nothing to do with any breakdown they have uploaded.... In these breakdowns they focus on every instrument (in the dvd afterlife was based on syn's parts and in the orchestra...)
What DVD guys? I would love to watch it.
@@nishantjoshi5762 Search on youtube "Avenged sevenfold making of the self titled album"
@@chriskarzhs ok sure thanks
8:31 damn it's a rare footage of Jimmy
please upload the another cool or rare footage of Jimmy, please.. because we always miss and love Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan
#foREVer
that is from the dear god video
I’m so so glad I found this video. I came looking for a video of Portnoy playing iso drums, but was so happy to see that Matt isn’t the Dbag that I unfairly assumed he was. Holy shit what an awesome person! I will be addressing my judging of people in my next therapy session 🤦🏻♂️
A little piece of heaven! Second heartbeat! Demo and album version!
6:24 Long hair, yeeeah!
Nightmares amazing but please for the love of god do sidewinder there’s so little we know on that song and it’s so freaking good it would be amazing if you guys do a break down of it
The chorus with just the piano, guitar, and vocals sounds so incredible
It's so cool to see all of the studio footage from the actual sessions. Love it!
Matt’s passion for music is beautiful ❤️
Love you guys!! Love your whole band! Missing the legend: the Rev!
Thank you so much for doing this! It truly shows your love and dedication to your fans!!!
My son introduced me to you guys several years back - and now he thinks his Mum is totally cool at 51 because I think you guys totally ROCK!! Thanks for ALL that you have done and what you have shared with the world, we are on a journey alongside you all, and more than likely will always be.. With love from a Cool rocking Aussie Grandma!!
I'm so glad you guys are keeping up with these breakdowns! Please do Buried Alive!
Never want these episodes to end haha! Cant wait for part 2. Keep em comin boys. 🤟
BRING ON PART 2!!!
only have been into avenged for a couple of months now, but nightmare is my favorite song 😍 good work guys, keep the vids comin!🤘
Hearing the piano at the chorus is so gorgeous. I can't believe I missed that when I listen to the song for all these years.
Mike Portnoy is filling in for The Rev wearing a Kobe Bryant jersey.....
Filling in? Oh ok
That’s actually pretty neat ngl
@@marcus_mayhem yeah he’s the one who filled in for Jimmy for this record and a couple tours I believe.
Mike Portnoy wearing a Dharma t-shirt is the best thing I've seen in a while.
Always loved this song. One of my favorites. Second song I ever heard from you guys, and it introduced me to an amazing album! I can’t get enough of it!
The layering of the chorus was amazing and really beautiful
One of my all-time favorites: Nightmare 😍🤘🏻. Hope that Matt will come back ven better/stronger/harder in the next album 💪🏻❤. We love you Shadz 🙌🏻.
Trust me, he'll come back stronger and better
nighmare solo was the first a7x solo i ever learned
Heard this song come on my Pandora around six years ago and instantly fell in love, been one of my favorite bands to this day! As a former musician myself this is the coolest thing you could've done.
Can't get enough of these videos. I love how they explain everything and refer to other bands so humble, like they're kids. So down to earth. This track Nightmare is an absolute killer.
Also: I love Portnoy rocking out in a Bryant jersey and a Dharma Initiative jersey!!! (3:45)
unholy confessions or second heartbeat next or im setting my apartment on fire and jumping out the first floor window
Please do it...and post the vid
@@Ranger.TomGunna 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hey are we related??? 😂😂😂
Imma be in school when this goes up 😭😭
Sad
I am loving these videos so much!!!
So glad you guys are active with your channel! Such a great band.
Yessss! I've been waiting for this breakdown. I can't wait for the Unholy Confessions breakdown
Uma das melhores músicas do A7X ♡♡♡♡♡♡
I still can't believe I was born on the same day this album dropped 😂😢🎉❤❤
These breakdowns are brilliant, more please!
5:37 best part 😂😂
Shadow manda um alô pro Brasil, e volta logo 😎
This song has one of my favorite guitar solos! Amazing!
These breakdowns are fucking awesome. I hope they release them all as a package some day
6:24 “LONG HAAAAAIR!!!”
I really wish they’d mention more about what jimmy did for this album since obviously it was recorded with portnoy
Loved it 🖤 ready for part 2
Great as always guys, please give us more breakdowns!
And this is why I love avenged sevenfold. The guys are funny in their own ways, the music kicks ass and of course these breakdown series. Love them. Should do more unknown songs from waking or even sounding the seventh trumpet. Whatever its cool
Say it with me! MIA! MIA! MIA!
eh
M
I
A
Mia Khalifa
So nice. One of my favorite songs ever.
I loved the Piano, Vocal, and Guitar chorus that M played!! Really brings outs possible remixes.
An awsome song ! though having Portnoy on the drums made it even better , one gotta admit
Fares Brahem na the rev better
@Heavy Metal Each one has a style, the rev was a beast. It's just Portnoy has a different vibe that he delivered and made this song really awsome.
Well... mike stayed true to what jimmy laid out. So
@@heavymetal398 lol Rev is good ,but portnoy is probably one of the best or the best.
6:25 matt sings what he will look like on the album after nightmare
I could watch these all day long!
man im glad im living in this timeline where i can see these videos
ily guys
Top notch german pronounciation on the "Glockenspiel" Matt :)
I really wish those higher vocals on the verse would have been sung by Jimmy, I feel like that would have been very cool
Thank you guys!
I was in 8th grade when I heard this song on the radio and completely fell in love. A7X has been my number one ever since
Can't wait for part 2! ❤️
Would love some behind-the-scenes stories about the music video though.
There is a making of the Video on CZcams i think
@@Blackeningband I didn't know. Thanks.
Make one of those songs of Diamond in the Rough, plss
feargm only one I like is dancing dead.
Until the end was my favorite
I really like Demons
I would love to see those
Darrel Hall the chorus in demons is god tier
WOW !!! So that was a "non fancy bell timber", LOVE THAT !!! And right AFTER IT we have a VARIATION OF THE INTRO RIFF !!! Now I'm getting it !!! It was nice to heard how that ACCENTS with the SNARE appears at the INTRO ... the CONSTRAST ( you know, when it was mention about the vocal screams and clean vocals ) it was very interesting, was also cool that the PIANO wasn't left behind ( was forgotten ) IT IS SO COOL part of this song ... THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO !!!
I love all these breakdowns
Mike Portnoy is the star of The album, easily my favorite album.
Please do Malagueña Salerosa!🤘🏻Could be interesting...
You need to post more breakdowns I'm rewatched all of these 😭😭😭
So happy to finally see Nightmare! Great video!
Nightmare started playing on my car radio mid way through this....
The Fight, please!
I can’t wait for it bc it’s gonna be so awesomee!!!!!
i love this song and album so much
