Avenged Sevenfold- "Afterlife" (720p HD) Live in Las Vegas on October 15, 2011

Recorded at Avenged Sevenfold's performance at the first annual 48 Hours Festival held in Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday, October 15th, 2011.
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen.
So unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you.
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste.
Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway.
I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right.
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be,
Arrived too early.
And when I think of all the places I just don't belong,
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far.
I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear, escape from this afterlife.
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here.
A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain.
Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you.
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste.
Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway.
This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall).
No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall).
So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign.
I've made up my mind.
Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye.
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life.
I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife.
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here.
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you.
This place full of peace and light, and I'd hoped you might,
Take me back inside, when the time is right.
Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me.
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening.
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be.
(I am unbroken, I'm choking on this ecstasy.)
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live.)
[Screaming and maniacal laughter]
I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife.
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here.
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you.
This place full of peace and light, and I'd hoped you might,
Take me back inside when the time is right.

I love the way synyster is all calmed down like nothing happens while he plays a badass solo =D

[@maboi6610]

0:38 Damn, Arin knows The Rev's style playing on drum 👍

[@hazardgaminghg122]

Damn that's cool, that about the same time during the Afterlife music video too.

[@jakeyriot]

The rev saying I need another chance to live gives me a crazy feeling glad then put that in there!

[@Alexwkj]

Many people don't realise how good a singer M. Shadows truly is. He can easily win the American Idol if he chooses to enter it. Not like he's going to though, cause he's too cool for it.

[@anaya7x]

0:00 - 5:52 my favorite part

[@maatiaz.bernardiz]

OMFG What a excelent sound !!

[@dakdandill]

spine tingling good!

[@OneEyedCrow1337]

Still remains to be my favorite afx song aside from everything else they've put out, love that they put in Jimmy's voice for the bridge before the solo!

[@XMIKE920]

For the Rev youll never be forgotten, One of the best drummers in metal history, Gone but forever in our hearts!

[@DrummingNonStop]

My respect level for Arin just shot through the roof when I saw him singing along to The Rev's part at 3:37. We fucking love you Arin. You're doing an amazing job.

[@jo8712]

3:39 Zacky:Hey Rev! Syn:Huh? I’m Syn *turns around* HEY JIMMY HOW YA DOING? Matt: What the heck?* turns to we’re Syn looks* JIMMY HEY! Johnny: Huh? * turns* JIMMY MY BOY Arin: Huh?* turns* OMG ITS THE REV!!

[@KnifeMaster6661]

excelent footage

[@AwYeahize]

thank you (:

[@angelpba]

Anyone else noticed at 2:15 when they are singing "Give me your hand but realize I just...." somebody says at the end "fuck you" instead of "goodbye"? XD

[@StreeBaller012]

+Angel Berríos i heard it.

[@cathyniel10]

+Angel Berríos watched this video but in different footage. that's syn.. he's saying that to johnny. they're always making fun of each other

[@hazardgaminghg122]

Fuck dude, Matt was so fucking badass in this and was spot on.

[@kintogaga]

[@chevy4life869]

[@AwYeahize]

[@BlackHarvestOfficial]

3:39 Jimmy saw that Arin was singing his part, and he looked down and thanked him, meanwhile, Zacky saw him and said hi!

[@MissShadow87]

WOW! Arin killed Rev's part! Nailed it. Loved it.

[@LosEagle]

Oh I didn't even noticed. Thanks!

[@JustNoReact]

"Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live" when i heard his voice, cryied my fucking eyes out :.(

[@DyanDevil]

[@TheBluezInc]

rev's vocals made me feel that he was singing from heaven

[@lovemusicFLYLEAF]

[@dhanitangkai]

Very Very Nice. . .!!

[@RoDDiSsaSteR]

The Rev is always with his brothers... even if he do not sing but in this sing he prove us that he is just up there enjoying a little rest and watching after his brothers... he never leave them and never leave us... like one person wrote in other video... he is just up there teaching god how to play the drums and for this song decend from heaven to sing along M. Shadows...

[@s0und0fmadness]

R.I.P Jimmy AMAZING footage!

[@MrTowelie300]

seeing Arin sing during the Revs part brings the biggest smile to my face :) his memory will never be forgotten.

[@ToBefoREVerxx]

First 20 seconds and I'm crying.

[@zeldalinknoel]

[@guitardemond]

[@MsJenB91]

[@cypatrickp]

Yeah you could be right! glad that some of us share the same love for Arin. Hope they take him in as a permanent member, cheers!

[@MrSupermike105]

dam chills

[@hectorsoto8815]

If every fucking cell phone and/or camera in this earth could record the concerts like this one... seriously +RTMorasonMD you gotta tell me what device u used so I can also have recordings like this :P

[@RTMorasonMDNew]

Thanks, man. The camera was a Canon HF-G10.

[@Girlubtrmuteit69]

And I'm tearing up miss the guy rip rev

[@jarodgudino7863]

rest in peace the rev your one of a kind

[@xMadamBuckley]

If you're talking about the logo on Zacky's guitar, then it's 6661, but he only has that as his logo because it's 1999 flipped upside down, and they started the band in 99.

[@13j11n]

Really love going to a Avenged sevenfold concerttt

[@wmhoneybucket]

Very nice :)

[@Axel0994]

[@Gonpisut38]

perfect ROCK!!!!! SYNYSTER

[@L97pumpkin]

RIP Jimmy

[@MLBlake1]

when johnny pointed up to the sky during the revs part ;,) the revs one proud angle!

[@JackLoomis]

He doesn't have a mic, but I respect the fact that he may actually be singing, just to pay tribute to Jimmy, even if we can't hear him due to the lack of mic and it's a recording of Jimmy.

[@MrMonkeysk8r]

i love how arin does the rev stick flip

[@noodlesO7]

4:23 M: Hey Syn, wazzup? S: Nuthin, just chillin.

[@Kennysam2011]

Sun walking away holding the way bar. So badass

[@TWCHEX]

Man i don't have a problem with the haters i understand not everyone can agree on something maybe it because i have been a fan for over 6 years but i just dont understand why A7X gets so much hate,maybe because A7X is getting so much popular everyday and are much bigger than any of the people who hate them. So any of the strong A7X fans out there who it hurts to see people mocking the REV and his death just remember the ones mocking the REV and A7X are small ants who are jealous.

[@BeBestDrummer]

You will see at 3:40 . Arien is singing the rev part :) .

[@NotExactlyMLGAtHalo]

this was so awesome and i saw zacky look toward rev and say sup at 3:39

[@afzairfannn]

@LinkinPark71193 YEAH!...owh gosh!..THX GOD! you bring back THE REV to us

[@Rizqi1010]

It's a rare thing Syn miss something in his Solo in the Last of Sweeping part.

[@mdsa7x]

There is only one thing to say:fucking amazing!!!! I love a7x Rock in heaven Rev we' ll never miss you

[@PeroxidePrincess1208]

During the Revs part you can see Arin singing :)

[@PeterZigmund26]

Someone said at 0:03 ´I love you REV!´ Yeah,we all do.

[@linkZABUZAriders]

Good quality man! Which camera are you using to record?

[@ImRichMafaka]

Matthew has a fucking sick vocal range!

[@2Gutao]

nice

[@LinkinLover01]

No, it is. Listen to the studio version and it's the same.

[@Alexwkj]

Exactly. :D A rock voice with soothing effects.. Limited to Matt Sanders.

[@Axel0994]

UUUaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagghhhhh!!! Matt Shadows Screaming.

[@trairaisr14041995]

agree :)

[@Solaria_collector]

Synyster, my own personal jesus ! *-*

[@GanZroCks]

a7x would never change the voice of the revs at this song :) cuz its meaningful ! "give him another cchance to live !!"

[@Alexwkj]

I wouldn't mind him actually singing during those live concerts too. But I would never replace Jimmy's voice for any other drummers'. :/

[@liverpool1396]

@CheyHotomani well..i think he said i love you Rev !

[@8bitbirdy]

wish i was there, good picture quality though

[@RyanProuse2000]

The moment when M.Shadows and Syn nod to each other during the solo! :)

[@revthlmewplague]

Arin is so awesome, but i cant help not feeling a piece missing when watching these :(

[@C0Assassin]

I'm thinking it's out of respect for the Rev. They have the Rev's vocals on a prerecorded track playing as they play live, to symbolize that he's singing. I'm sure once A7x actually create an album with Arin, they'll probably throw a few vocal verses to him. And when the time comes to play those songs live, he'll be there to perform and sing live.

[@jeffhardy18191]

MATT'S STILL GOT SOME SCREAM LEFT IN HIM! :D

[@TheOffice923]

I Was There :)

[@cypatrickp]

ARIN ROCKS! Not only is he a great drummer, he's pretty polite in person as well! He doesnt act like a big shot so STOP picking on him! By the way, can anybody tell me why isn't Arin singing in Critical Acclaim as well? =(

[@jipak93]

I just noticed that Johnny Christ is using his fingers now. Good on him.

[@criminalminds613]

it says 6661 which according to zacky and his crazy mind, means 1999, which was when the band formed

[@wladimirbm]

@TheChimpsterrr Yeah I knew about that sustainiac thing and to be honest I think he had it since way back (check out the graspop 2008 critical acclaim video crazy squeals), it's just that the sound here is really weird don't you think ? the verse part sounds.. well weird..

[@gregrocks66]

372 likes? there is 50,927 views so there should be 50,927 likes, tho this video should have more views and more likes

[@Mynysterify]

Ever wondered how the stages don't catch on fire?

[@dudemans8889]

I almost shat myself at 0:53 when that person whistled

[@galanoth619]

@SwaaX playback. they are playing his playback since 2010

[@xXBRAP44Xx]

@22red23 i got the video they made at that concert on my iPhone

[@ILUVFRED223]

LOVE A7X AND LOVE ZACKY XX

[@afzairfannn]

@WWEThemesVideos WTF WITH THAT SOUND?...IT'S,LOOK SCARY...THX FOR INFO!

[@TangeClown]

why the hell doesnt anyone ever give syn a good soundcheck anymore!

[@Clone4115]

Watch afterlife live at SWU

[@Hawking617]

Give him another chance to live!

[@Tylerthedrummer12]

ever since the rev died, he changed it from "surely" to "jimmy I'll miss you".

[@isaacrumley]

Syn doesn't have much distortion on

[@milleniumdrum]

Arin seems to be the reincarnation of the rev... this video is the proof!

[@outlaw6066]

I'm quite sure the guys have seen their bro The Rev many times on stage with them. :-)

[@exinez]

That might be because Shadows may forget some words sometimes, and he improvises :P
