Avenged Sevenfold - 'Save Me' is a journey, wonderfully composed and very meaningful, it was one of the last track written by their drummer The Rev before he passed away

It's funny you say it has a Danny Elfman/Oingo Boingo vibe. The song was written by The Rev inspired by Oingo Boingo and A7X actually got Steve Bartek to help with the orchestral arrangement and production. There's an awesome bts video of the making of this song.

Regarding the members, the same members were together since like 2003 until the death of their drummer The Rev (who had the amazing backing/tradeoff vocals) in 2010. They had Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater fill in for the next album and then had another drummer for one album before their current drummer joined in 2016. They are without a doubt one of the best live bands I've ever seen. M Shadows is INCREDIBLY consistent live too which is super uncommon in metal.

Well, I won't say they did merge it in that way, but Rev and syn had a band with just an EP that came out named Pinkly Smooth that was a LOT more along those lines, great crazy shit. Rev actually was the lead vocalist for that while playing piano instead of drums, syn was still on guitar, but different stuff than you'd be used to from him. A lot more of that was clearly written by the Rev, and it brings a lot more attention to his style, and where this song came from. HIGHLY recommend anyone check them out, Pinkly Smooth. The names of the songs alone are wonky as hell, and they're so good.

A bit about these guy's,the core 4 at the time of this era Matt,Syn,Zacky and the rev (rip) had known each other and been friends since early elementary school. Johnny the bassist is the brother of one of there friends,so they have known him forever as well. The early (starting) line up changed with the addition of Syn , johnny replaced there bassist due to some health issue's and dropped out of highschool at 17 to finish out a tour with them. Since then the line up has only changed due to the passing of the rev. But the core (4 that are left from early days) have been together since 1999. Are best friends still obviously with Matt and Syn also being brother in laws ( married twin sisters also from same school ) .

This may sound strange, Geebz, but you may want to do an extra little lyrical review for this one. It is a truly "funny in a tragic way" story, but you can tell from the first listen that they were just having a blast making this! Avenged Sevenfold was one of the bands in the early 2000's that stuck to me as a teen that I made a part of my 'musical identity.' Love them; so many good tracks to choose from. _City of Evil_ is without a doubt my favorite album from them; so many technically sound songs, and each one is single-worthy. All my friends growing up were glamming over _Sidewinder_ from that album. It ends with a beautiful acoustic solo. Awesome track, and great vid, Geebz! Love ya man, keep on rockin'! AWWWRIGHT!

Eventually the album fell thru but they did so much great work on the song that they kept it and gave it to us anyway.

Late to the party on this one. I've been browsing the comments and I haven't seen this one answered. The band was formed in the mid to late 90's, the group were still high school and just had the dream to form a kick ass rock band. Up until 2009 there were no member changes. As they were finishing up recording their 5th Album, Nightmare, the drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan passed away from a drug overdose on December 28th, 2009. Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater would step in to record the remainder of the album and toured live with the band until a permanent new member was found. Portnoy came to be called The Rabbi by fans of the band. Since then a few drummers and a couple extra musicians have come and gone from their projects, but through it all M. Shadows, Zacky Vengance, Synyster Gates and Johnny Christ are still pumping out new tracks, living their dream out in the memory of one of the all time greats. Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan.

I was at that show in the front row. Long Beach Coloseum. Greatest show I've ever been to in my life.

Great to hear your digging into other creators! What a great song though to pick for a live performance! I would definitely watch the bands breakdown of this song on their RU-vid channel! For a live suggestion for Avenged you gotta do one of 'God Hates Us' from Rock am Ring 2011!

Gunslinger Live in the LBC is another great one. I honestly like the live version better than the studio

I can’t believe how great this sounds live. Figured this would be the one song that was unplayable in a concert of theirs. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

You will definitely enjoy The Stage. If this is their big closing song, the Stage is their intro song to their most recent shows since the album came out. Its a journey as well, its a more real message but with the musicianship and just pure ability/talent.

You’re completely right about the bohemian rhapsody thing

Awesome video, A7X are a precious band for the metal scene as they're always evolving. Also I recommend you Roman Sky! Such a beautiful track from their last album The Stage.

I love this song because it's almost like a grimm dark version of danny elfman in nightmare before xmas. I can totally see this song in a gritty r rated version of that film

Avenged is like a low key zeppelin. Where each musician is amazing at their craft. Obviously not to zep level, but it’s still so cool to see such a complete level of talent across the whole band.

Zeppelin couldn't hold a candle to the musicianship of A7X. The insane 3rd and 3rd/4th harmonizing that Brian and Zack come up with is incredible. Jimmy Page could never play what they come up with, and Jimmy the Rev would drum circles around John Bonhem.

The backing instrumentals and vocals are Oingo Boingo.

How do I like a video multiple times I'm so excited for this reaction

I dont know any A7X fans that don't love this song! It's a bit rough lyrically for new listeners, but the music is so beautiful, and it is just so much fun to listen to. The story it tells is incredible. This band has been one of my favorites for a long time. I still remember the day I learned of The Rev's passing. He will be missed foREVer.
