@311freek 3 года назад

Mike Portnoy did such an amazing job as a temporary fill in to complete this album. No one can live up to The Rev...period, but so much respect to Mike for keeping The Rev's style throughout this masterpiece of an album🤘. There is also a bit of a Dream Theater riff in this song as well, which is awesome.

@coleanderson5928 3 года назад

This comment needs to be seen more! Mike did AMAZING at capturing the essence of The Rev. jimmy had to be proud of this performance.

@helenacostello5505 3 года назад

One of Jimmy’s main influences was Portnoy

@Adrmeisterwerk 3 года назад

@Prozakhistan yeah so does Mangini, or Danny Carey.. there are tons of better drummers out there than Portnoy and Jimmy but people don't realize or even care about that simply because Portnoy and Jimmy always locked in with the music, with every music they play, they play the music. It's just a matter of preference. I'm not going to make a debate like in the DT fanbase, but just for example, I like both Mangini and Portnoy, I play drums because of Portnoy but hell I want to be as advanced as Mangini, and my influence in drumming mostly came from Portnoy.

@MonstrMatt 3 года назад

Personally i think Mike is a better drummer(not by much), but god damn I miss The Rev. Mike Portnoy was The Rev's favorite drummer which was a major reason he was asked. Also Mike asked DT around the time to take a break from touring and they didnt want to so he literally quit the band for what he needed. So its sad The Rev died but the timing for this collab couldn't have happened with this drummer who was faithful to his band for 30 years. It woukd have been cool to hear The Rev do a DT song with them but I have to wonder how welcoming DT would have been of that idea.

@davidkay1948 3 года назад

In fact portnoy was the revs fave drummer

@unLUCKY95 3 года назад

I still remember the night it was announced that Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan had passed away. A7X has been my favourite band since I was 9 years old, I was 14 when the announcement came, and it was absolutely soul destroying .He made me want to play the drums, I'd just started playing about a year and a half before and had my first real drum kit 4 months before and had finally JUST learned to play the song that made me want to pick up sticks in the first place (Beast and the Harlot). It was utterly heart-breaking, I'd watched every behind the scenes video I could find, listened to all their albums on repeat and not only admired and was inspired by his talent as a drummer, singer and songwriter but also loved seeing his hilarious, over the top personality, particularly in their making of the self titled album documentary. I felt like I'd lost a member of my family, which might seem silly now, but it does feel like that when someone you look up to so much passes away - I felt a similar way when Chester Bennington passed in 2017, and I still get those feelings of hurt whenever I listen to So Far Away, Fiction, or Save Me to this day - and that's all credit to the band for pouring the feelings they and all their fans had at the time. It's been 11 years since those songs were released and they still hit me the same way they did when I first listened to them at 15 years old.

Will honestly forever love avenged sevenfold, I just get sucked into every song! As a drummer since the 4th grade (I'm almost 30 now) the drums and the double bass just hit so hard and so damn deep. And don't even get me started about how hypnotizing his voice is 😍🥰 I've only been able to see them once and so sadly to me it was after The Rev died, his death hit me so hard and absolutely shattered me.

@scottboland2419 3 года назад

Perfectly said from a fellow drummer. The Rev was A7X and they haven't been the same since. His drums were very influential to my playing style as well, but his drums made the songs for me. As every fill was perfectly placed and leaving to the next riff. Mike Portnoy was probably the only one that could have played the songs as The Rev would have played it.

Actually looked it up for another comment so i thought id correct myself: he wrote about like 40% of the songs or at least in part wrote them.

Abstract song structure. It's almost like the song is building up through a downwards spiral of emotions until we finally get some relief at the very end. Confusion-->Lost/Running-->Crying out for help-->Strength/Relief. They do a great job of expressing these emotions; it must feel like being in a whirlwind. Especially with creating a song after The Rev passed with some of his material. I'd feel like I was actually the tornado. Thanks for showing me this one. Cheers!

This song represents the sad part of their feelings for Jimmy, and does so wonderfully. If you wanna hear the other end of the spectrum of emotions (trust me you do), go listen to God Hates Us. It has a very stark contrast to this one and both work amazingly. Save Me is definitely the more commercially successful song, but you could easily argue for God Hates Us being one of their best tributes to Jimmy. You really gotta do these 2 back to back.

Fato curioso: Quando na introdução da música é falado "crânio" foi a última gravação de THE REV no studio de gravação!!!🇧🇷🇧🇷 Fun fact: When the song's intro says "cranio" was THE REV's last recording in the recording studio!!!🇧🇷🇧🇷

I literally cried when I watched this.. this is my first time hearing this too and I lost my younger brother in a tragic accident and these lyrics just hit me hard right in the feels!! I've been through that grieving stage and it hurts like I've never felt before! I love Avenged Sevenfold so much!!

@dionshare7103 3 года назад

If anyone has followed Alex long enough you will know he has reacted to some Avenged Sevenfold.

@O_C293 3 года назад

They made a 2 part video about this specific song and if memory serves me correct, it wasn't intended for the Rev initially.

@jasonhadfield3902 3 года назад

i love this band, the fact that pretty much all of nightmare are songs that the Rev wrote before he passed and they finished them off for him is amazing.

Sometimes when I listen to songs like this I take it for granted, but when I watch videos like this and really listen to the song, I remember just how amazing they are

I've never understood why Avenged Sevenfold gets so much hate. They're fckin awesome.

@puppetmaster8551 3 года назад

Just because they made it big time and got extremely popular, they’re great musicians with some awesome music, absolutely have never deserved nearly the amount of hate they get

@henryt9731 3 года назад

@unrandomcualquiera...1122 3 года назад

I love Avenged Sevenfold Idk why Trve Metalheads hate Avenged Sevenfold,ah yes because the elitist community does not accept that metal evolves and stays stuck in the same sub genres, Death, Thrash, Old School Heavy Metal and Gothic Metal

@Wander85942 2 года назад

Probably one of the nicest guys too. I went to the meet and greet they hosted for jimmy’s birthday back in 2019. His parents were there, we got to hang out with them, have food, shop merch. It was awesome.

@ballaholla2811 3 года назад

Arguably one of their best songs and tributes.

Honestly, you will bloody love Crossroads by A7X. Especially the beginning. I can already see your reaction

@Ravagerblade 3 года назад

All of their Albums man. It's almost like 2 decades, it's worth looking into.

@AshFoster91 3 года назад

Love the reaction man, this is easily one of my favourite Avenged songs! And speaking about horror films, as much as i love Ice Nine Kills, they're just making songs based off them, with this and some other Avenged songs they could easily be their own original score for a dramatic horror film. Most of Nightmare could easily be for a film.

@lewislast8501 3 года назад

They should do it. Different style but breaking benjamin made a 3(some say 4) part song on their last album with red cold rover, torn in two and tourniquet (and never again from the album before) into a short movie. it had a very "lovely bones" feel to it if you'd ever heard of that book

@88fanforlife 3 года назад

My all time favorite A7X song!!!

@Lukkern 3 года назад

The best avenged song ever made. It actually is a masterpiece. As an ex avenged fan, this is one of the few avenged songs i still listen to fairly often. I still like them, but as i have moved away from their genre more and more, i just don't listen to them that often anymore. I really hope their upcoming album will be as amazing as the stage though. I really like their direction on that album. Seems like they are moving more towards prog, which also is the case with save me.

@AviationTV Год назад

Apparently The Rev wrote the part "we only wake up when we sleep" as well as "tonight we all die young" but intended that to be the beginning of the song but the band couldn't work it into the start.... I think he did a demo of his voice over the whole song originally

@crimsonking372 3 года назад

@0pher545 3 года назад

You've done this song, you've done So Far Away, now you need to do Fiction to finish the Rev trilogy. Jimmy wrote and recorded the demo for the song and was found dead three days later. His vocals on the song are the last audio the Rev would ever contribute to A7X. Some people including M. Shadows have even considered the lyrics might be a suicide note of sorts. It's a truly haunting song

@blxkdxhlia 3 года назад

I honestly can't remember if you've reacted to Brompton Cocktail by Sevenfold but that one (if my memory serves me correctly) was also written by Jimmy and the lyrics show just what kind of pain he was going through. He had died at the age of 28 and according to the coroner, his enlarged heart may have had something to do with it (although the main cause was overdose). Due to his enlarged heart, he was told he wouldn't live past 30 years old. Definitely definitely definitely worth the reaction, criminally underrated song by them. Fiction also was one of the last ones Jimmy wrote before he passed and that one will UNDOUBTEDLY give you chills, if not make you cry a little.

@austindeann 3 года назад

you gotta listen to their whole self titled album. “almost easy”, “scream”, and “a little piece of heaven”. they put a little bit of 808 into that album and it would surprise you. theres not one bad song on that album.

@WingZero172 3 года назад

There's plenty more on Nightmare, Hail to the King, and all of The Stage to react to. Dealer's choice I'll watch em all. That said, there's another song called "Save Me" by Shinedown that you absolutely need to react to. If you've heard Dio's "Don't Talk to Strangers" then you're already clued into how Shinedown's lead singer Brent Smith sings on some of their songs. Actually, MONSTERS is a really good example and you already reacted to it. However, that song alone from ATTENTION ATTENTION is only 1 part of the whole story. I strongly suggest doing a full album reaction in one sitting cause it's a concept album about a character that starts off ina hellish place but comes through in the end.
