Avenged Sevenfold perform "Burried Alive" and "So Far Away" at the HP Pavillion in San Jose California. The song is dedicated to Jimmy "The Rev" who's parents were in the crowd on December 16, 2011.
i was at this concert with my dad who has now passed... almost two years ago, this is also the last time i saw avenged. my favorite band ever... my dad got a deathbat tattoo... we bonded over this band so much.... i miss my dad so much
Bless your heart I know how you feel I lost mine in 16 then my wife left me a year later right after we saw them in Virginia beach now some songs literslly make me 😢 cry... Im sorry for your loss and pray you see him and them again
I do too. I did not really pick out his voice when I first found the band. What attracted me was the guitar work and the sync of the entire band together. Before I knew it he was gone.
The Kind Of Metalheads Who Think Metal _Really Is_ All About Cursing And Inaccessible Noise Would Be The Only Ones Who Have Hate For Such Beautiful Music As This.
When I was filming this I remember thinking "this is an amazing moment" ...this video evokes reaction....and most of it positive. There is not a day that goes by that there is no comment. One thing is is true A7X fans love "The Rev" and pay respects... and on this night so did the band to Jimmy's family. This is why I film and miss parts of the show so "we" can all relive these moments.Music is one of the most amazing things in the world. Thank you to bands like A7X that give us these moments.
Sal Caggiano they pressed the dislike button because they dislike the feeling of sadness and despair knowing that The Rev and possibly others that are gone that these songs give them.
You can tell every time M. Shadows talks about the rev that he is holding back tears. When they played fiction live, he wiped his eyes at the end of the song :'(
Yea when he's talking to The Rev's parents it sounds like he wants to break down, but at the the end it looks more like he's about to take off his shades.
This is why metal music is amazing. It brings us so close together with bands and people that we've never even met but we all have such a close bond that people like me fucking cry when I hear a song like this. foREVer
that's true till one guys ends up hating on another band and calls it an "opinion" then all those fans of that band start talking shit about the other band...
Kwame Brown this is why I love metal, mostly because we have some of the nicest people and the greatest music. I heard on the news that people were throwing bear at this one rapper and were stabbing each other at that concert, and the rapper also blamed the incident on drake.
He nailed the songwriting too. I think this was the first song he wrote. This solo is one of the most beautiful and fitting I’ve ever heard, he should’ve gotten a major award for it.
It's been years and Jimmy's death still wrecks me. I've been inspired by plenty of musicians in my life but nobody has impacted me quite like he did. I still remember the day he died. His spirit lives on
@@zacharymills7692 wow ok emotions are normal and doesn't make us soft or weak. We all miss the rev he was a very much loved young man who left us way too soon. Show some freaking respect loser
it makes me sad because there will never be another person as musically unique and talented as the rev, he truly was one of a kind. RIP jimmy, we’ll always remember you.
13:09 "I know the Rev is here with us tonight." that teared me up a bit. I saw them live in Baltimore in January 2011 and he said the same thing 13:28 All those lighters and cell phones such an amazing tribute 13:41 Zooms in on the Rev's parents who really miss their son
Man I was at Rock On The Range in 2011 and it was the night of the supposed "Rapture" and it was A7x's first concert in the US since the Revs passing and when they played So Far Away, there was 37,000 lighters in the sky and you could feel the Rev there.. This band gets so much hate but they are the most talented, emotionally driven band out and they aren't conforming to what people think "real metal" should be.. these guys are incredible musicians and people! Long Live The Rev #forREVer
I was at that concert too. I was maybe 14, 15 at the time. I still remember it like it was yesterday. It was my first time seeing A7X. I saw them one other time after, but ROTR was incomparable.
I think Avenged rejoice in the fact that The Rev will never ever be forgotten. The fans of A7X will always remember him and celebrate the amount of lives he touched. He will always live on in our memory and the music he helped make.
That's why I love Avenged because they have their fans doing stuff like that and it is just so beautiful to see such appreciation and gratitude for what Jimmy has done and will continue to do in Heaven on his drums up there. RIP foREver.
Got full-on goosebumps when the lighters and phones lit up... I wish I knew the rev like so many fans here do, but I never liked this band until 2 years ago.
To describe it in a way that reflects him positively, it was an energy about them. He was an integral part of that. Brothers. Through and through. That’s a good way to describe it.
almost 5 years later I still cry when I listen to this song and I still remember seeing the news on cbs that day.... I'm so glad I got to see the rev playing. It will forever be one of my favorite concerts of all time. FoREVer.
8:55 I love how his voice going to so much softer, when he starts talking about Jimmy. And at beginning of So Far Away he sing with the trembling voice. No matter how many times I hear this, I'm always surprised, how full of emotions it is.
This brings me to tears each time Jimmy is and always will be my hero! And I love him and how he was, he was so amazing, funny and just so lovable and this really touches my heart and I know he's in heaven watching his family, his band and his fans. He will always been in our hearts foREVer Love you Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan R.I.P
+Nina Flying cupcake Monster Every time i see these kind of videos i cry, makes it through the hole vid, when everybody takes up lighters, manly tears comes
You are un-cultured if you dislike this video imagine your best friend passing away and their parents watching you do what he did his whole life with his best friends
Laina Rahim yeah you're right the rev is best friend of all the peoples in the band but first of all he is my best friend his spirit is in his drums and playing his drums and smilling at us sayin us good bye
I just found this video tonight and when they kicked in with so far away, I immediately teared up and got goosebumps. It’s like I could feel the rev behind me watching this video with me......... Rest In Peace rev. You will always have a special place in my heart... and I also saw them the same year....
the solo in So Far Away gives me goosebumps every time i hear it.. that song is a masterpiece, in my personal opinion... foREVer ! RIP jimmy. we miss you dearly
Guitar Hero hooked me on Avenged in 2006. I remember listening to self titled for the first time. And I remember like it was yesterday seeing the news that the Rev died. It’s so hard to believe it’s almost been 10 years. I still can’t believe it man.
This couldn't have been a cell phone. Good job filming, holding the camera steady, finding the parents and even the sound was good considering how loud it gets in there.
What got me tearing up, was when Syn's voice cracked at the end. I've seen them live 3 times and that's never happened. It's that feeling of my favorite guitar player that's a professional and nails everything perfectly onstage that I look up to, he breaks down and idk, I could really feel the pain. A7X is the best damn band this generation has ever had.
As I was watching this video I hold a lighter too for our brother Jimmy "the Rev" Sullivan. I missed you so much, it's been 4 years now but I still refuse to forget you!
It's so sad when Matt says " Jimmy's parents are here with us tonight " and then show them and Jimmy's dad brings a t-shirt of a7x ❤️ , foREVer in our Hearts Jimmy the Rev ❤️🌹🕊️🖤
Rev is and always be missed by the people who were inspired by and loved him. RIP Jimmy one day u and the band will be reunited and rocking out in heaven
I was there that night on the floor between the band and The Rev's parents. This moment will always stick with me and I still think of it every now and then. RIP Jimmy.
Whenever I listen to them play songs like, So Far Away, St. James, and Fiction I just get intense chills and it's one of those moments you wouldn't trade for the world
This song makes me think of my mom. She committed suicide 12 years ago, when I was really young. Looking back now, it hurts that I have to live in a world where the person who loved me the most gave up. This song will always be the closest one in my heart
The Rev's legacy is still able to CARRY ON. It's been a NIGHTMARE that he's been SO FAR AWAY from us now. I feel like I'm BURIED ALIVE and I want to SCREAM out loud. Dying is like A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN compared to the pain of losing the Rev...even though I'm NOT READY TO DIE. DEAR GOD!!! Being LOST and UNBOUND from the courses of life just makes dying ALMOST EASY doesn't it. We all loved you and your music and we will see you in the AFTERLIFE. Now I'm taking a WALK down BAT COUNTRY.
When I saw them live in 2010 they did the same thing, I was in the front, I turned around and there was just an amazing wall of light from how many people showed their respect. It was amazing.
Don't worry about jimmy he now got the stallion duck he became the knife master and he is rocking out with lemmy kilmister and Paul gray And now 3 years later we’ve lost many more. Vinnie Paul Chester Bennington Chris Cornell Derek Jones Hopefully they’ve all found peace and they’ll never be forgotten.
This sucks man why jimmy he should of been alive still we all miss him i remember meeting him a few times he fucking awesome he will always be remember and thought of by everyone who loved him rest in piece Rev one day ill meet u again
Who are you to say that he only met Jimmy once? He may have met him several times... are you some kind of mind reader that can see into his head to know what he has and hasn't done? And correcting someone on grammar while making several mistakes yourself just makes you seem like even more of an idiot.
This tribute was celebrated on my 9th birthday such an honour that one of the biggest influences in my life had a memorial show on my birthday R.I.P James Owen Sullivan (THE REV) gone but not forgotten thank you for inspiring me to start drumming
