AVENGED SEVENFOLD LOOKS TO DEBUT AT NUMBER ONE, BUT THEY'RE UNKNOWN?

Avenged Sevenfold's Nightmare has a good chance of unseating Eminem and debuting at Number One on the Billboard 200 album chart, but in a recent interview they say the mainstream hasn't heard of them while the year 2006 seems to say otherwise.

[@angelicacontreras4645]

Guy below me EXACTLY MY REACTION

[@RoCkErX285]

No. 1 on the billboard 200 right now, fuck yea!

[@JordanHigginsGuitar]

wish i could be that famous but that'll never happen

[@mladt2002]

"On June 9, 2010, the cause of death was revealed to have been an acute polydrug intoxication due to combined effects of oxycodone (OxyContin), oxymorphone (a metabolite of oxycodone), diazepam (Valium), nordiazepam (a metabolization of diazepam) and alcohol." 4 different types of hard prescription pain killers and barbiturates mixed with alcohol. It sucks, for sure, but that is what happened.

[@Hurricane1172]

Actually The Rev died of an accidental overdose prescription drugs and alcohol (Just like Heath Ledger). The painkillers he took had a similar compound to what is put in heroin but i can assure you it wasn't heroin. He also had an enlarged heart that played a role in it now would everyone stop saying it's just a normal drug overdose of heroin or whatever....

[@Bullet4MyA7X]

like Zacky Vengeance once said, "there are fans, then there are A7X fans."

[@BluesMachineLive]

He did not die of a drug overdose. He consumed alcohol when also on perscription drugs.

[@BFMVrocks34]

yeah. if you look it up that should be what you find. he told syns dad about the condition and that he wasn't gonna live past 30 when he was only 15 so yeah. he sort of knew it was coming.

[@1m1nth3m0b2]

Jimmy did once state that he knew two things he was going to be a rock star and he wasnt going to live past 30 he was right on both accounts but the man was a Saint RIP jimmy

[@NerdyAntics]

Jimmy don't give a shit about these wannabe trolls in a comment section on one youtube video. He's teaching the heavens how to drum. Why do you guys care what some low-life thinks? Not everybody is going to respect the death of a legend. But for us fans, we'll always hold the Rev in our hearts.

[@artisannewsservice]

@BluesMachineLive We totally get it. He was a talented drummer and believe me, he's missed.

[@MarcCamilo]

You know those 9 people who disliked this video haven't listened to EVERY song on "Nightmare." They took a listen to the SONG nightmare, didn't like it, and didn't give the album a chance. It's like they're self titles album, there's a variety of heavy metal, clean Metallica-esk parts, screaming. It has alot to offer and has lots of meaning to it.

[@m3loDy89]

Hell yeah they're going to be number 1 :D A7X has one of the strongest fanbase out there.

[@Sl0pGobln]

no overdose he ran into the woods and we wont be back for another 9 years but when he comes back he will be the knife master

[@CoolbeansofGR]

GUYS BUY THE ALBUM, TELL YOUR FRIENDS, BUY IT AGAIN! WE NEED TO GET THIS TO #1!!!!!

[@FartsTasteDelicious]

@private1456higa He Died From PERSCRIPTED DRUGS and alcohol, similair to Jimmi Hendrix. He may have done drugs but that is NOT what killed him. Jimmi inspired many people and was a human being so for them to say "he died of drug overdose" (especially when that's incorrect) Is a slap in the face to him and his family.

[@kjrody21]

see that avenged sevnfold doesnt even try to be mainstreme but one ur that good people notice you

[@Courtney27901]

God I just don't understand why people click on videos that they say they hate and then leave hate comments. If you hate avenged sevenfold or any video don't click on it unless you think that the attention you get from these comments is worth it because it's clear you have nothing else to do. How pathetic is that.

[@GeorgeRsh]

@DXmember32511 INCORRECT: died from taking his heart pills (born with enlarged heart) with some champagne, alcohol reacted with pills, rev dies.

[@Huff9542]

It pisses me off when i see people say "Eminem is better than A7X cause hes sold more albums and gotten more awards" Just cause you have more money, doesnt mean your better. It just means, you have more money

[@pantsonfire00]

would've been nice if you could've used some more recent footage. lol I think they're collective newer image shows a lot more maturity. best of luck to these guys tho.

[@abnormaldevil]

he died from an overdose from perscription meds for an enlarged heart ir wasnt illegal drugs that killed him RIP Jimmy we will miss u at the uproar

[@artisannewsservice]

@BluesMachineLive We appreciate the support of The Rev, and we respect everything about Avenged Sevenfold. However, Alcohol and prescription drugs are still drugs -- legal or not, and they did contribute to his death, as bummed as we are about it :(

[@NickatNight128]

never noticed the grave on the nightmare album says foREVer lol

[@thekidd316]

i like avenged sevenfold and the album was fkn amazing but i hope there getting known for the music not just because the rev died R.I.P the rev / jimmy,,

[@Konophary]

It was reported after he died as natural causes, which does kinda suggest it wasn't just drugs.... so I agree

[@TheRevengeancer]

@TheTheendofday He's hinted at being depressed before. Listen to Brompton Cocktail and Afterlife, he wrote those. Also in Brompton Cocktail they cut out a part of him saying "the [something's] getting louder, louder, I'm dying but nobody hears my screams"

[@RyanRogersMusic]

hell yeah lets do this!!! i bought 4 already come on people buy!!!!

[@icebergbart216]

i hope they actually make a good song one day since they are trying to act like the new guns and roses

[@ShirayuriSky]

it's weird to see footage of a dead person

[@Misery1219]

@southparkgeek69 The rev won an award for the best drummer in the world for 2010. He was dead then too. It doesn't really matter. As long as everyone rememberes.

[@yngwierhoads1989]

@ArtisanNewsService yeah the problem with that statement is that when someone says that its a drug overdose they automatically think he was taken herion and is a cliche rockstar when in actual fact it was perscription medication and alcohol.... so maybe want to be more clear and respectful

[@TheeZster69]

@manpivot2 nope he mixed his prescription drugs with alcohol and he had an enlarged heart so thats one of the reasons he passed.. R.I.P Jimmy...

[@bryceandrew13]

Eminem < A7X. Avenged FUCKIN DOMINATES!!

[@fallendarkenssmc7568]

Your'e right about "being addicted" he was not. but What i've heard he had an disease that he didn't wanted to live with so he took his life:/ R.I.P our dear brother Rev.

[@whoaitsmoe]

I think they deserve it(:

[@xsignalfadedx]

@chugshhh I agree. I like a wide range of rock and I DO NOT like rap/hip-hop. But Eminem is funny and has meaning behind most of his songs. But I agree old Eminem is better.

[@B00B21]

@Remneous it wasnt cocaine. it was acute drug intoxication and combined affects from presciption drugs and alcohol. not cocaine.

[@BFMVrocks34]

it was a mix of certain drugs and alcohol but also his heart condition so it wasn't totally an overdose

[@Lexastarmie]

WOOT!!!!! THEY BETTER TOP THE CHARTS!!! they deserve it! after all thats happened. RIP ReV and Happy B-day Matt ;D

[@tunizra]

How are you doing old person

[@JoeyWut]

@DarkestNightmare11 No he was having a heart attack and didnt know it he took a whole bottle of pain pills thinking he was just in pain he went got them refilled came home knew something was wrong and died b4 dialling 911

[@tttmmmnnnttt]

@livedrummerboy26 not sure if he died because of an overdose, but many people say that its confirmed that he died because of combining effects of chemicals... but im not sure which one is correct...

[@MrSplattycakes]

The Rev died of a Drug overdose? shit i didnt know that...

[@MetalLongboard96]

and the heavy MTL was OUTRAGEOUS!

[@blondeez80]

People Who don't like this kind of music shouldn't even be responding at all and should mind their mother F**** Own !!! Haters LOVE TO A7X RIP REV

[@8xxa7xfanxx8]

WHOOOO!!! HECK YEAAA!! :DDD they totally earned it :)))

[@mellorines]

WOW!!! does this mean my music taste is good? I love Avenged Sevenfold! :D haha Jimmy's so cute on this vid :D i love him

[@Dethkill14]

@RoCkErX285 That's really not true. Eminem is one of the most innovative and unique rappers out there, and not because he's white, but because his music is actually quite good.

[@lildeathbatgirl]

i remember when i 1st started listening to Avenged Sevenfold and i bought a magazine ( revolver i belive ) and it said something about jimmy doing a line of coke WHILE the dude from the mag was in the room...well so what if he liked to do a line every once in a while it never reuined the music they always had kick ass shows and they were never on TV being dumb drunks ETC so everyone who is bashing them calling them druggies or drunks CAN BACK THE HELL OFF

[@Britannic1221]

@jaws553 sadly the rev died of an overdose, i hurd somewhere the night he died he was trying some new things and yea he died. (may his soul RIP)

[@numberrocker]

@ArtisanNewsService I thought Rev died in a car accident??? I saw the video saying that from you guys

[@karlcresp25]

dream theater rules

[@ILoveDXB]

who ever compares about A7x and Eminem.. Metal > Rap

[@Chris269CJS]

that interview is so oldd. but i love a7x

[@avengedgurl4]

i love AVENGED SEVENFOLD!!! R.I.P THE REV SULLIVAN ...... U WILL BE foREVer IN OUR HEARTS

[@TheSynfulGuitarist]

And so they did rise up to numero uno. That excited the hell outta me! Cheers to The Rev and A7X! FoREVer!

[@Anight7mareX]

Hell yeah. Do it for jimmy!

[@JC42023]

i just got the album yesterday-I must say A7X knows how to play their music XDDD it is an awesome album

[@KungPaoSauce]

is that jimmy in the nightmare album cover ?

[@drumer363]

@drumer363 yeah he does he sings alll of it then shadows sings along with him then end is creepy..he talks about tell everybody they can make it when he is gone and he dies 3 days later

[@bobcatmonster]

MTV over the years has basically turned into BET, all they play is that yo yo rap bullshit. All you need now in days is a Mac and a book of rhymes, and you'll have the number one song in America.

[@rocknrolldude3212]

R.I.P. the rev. Happy birthday M. Shadows. :)

[@SCD999]

i'm a big fan of avenged sevenfold so i hope this happens and although other 'metal' albums have reached number 1 on the billboard 200, this would be a huge achievement besting a lot of the others due to who they could beat, eminem with recovery. although i don't listen to his music he is talented and very popular. plus, his latest album has been on top for a few weeks now so A7X beating him with their tribute to the rev would really be awesome. hope it happens. remember RATM

[@Hurricane1172]

@private1456higa Nope - They were actually prescription drugs, and the combined effects of taking them and alcohol with an enlarged heart was what killed him (RIP).

[@chugshhh]

EMINEM & A7X TILL THE END MOTHERFUCKERS!

[@METALRULEZA7X]

i think that he died of something else because they say this about the death of all big rockers and its more a stereotype than evidence R.I.P. JIMMY

[@CookieMonster5542]

best band ever!!!

[@SYNnnefoREVever]

he overdosed bc he had an elarged heart and the night he died his chest was hurting so he took pain pills so i guess he just took too many! :( miss u rev

[@NtKFiR3ArM]

@davethedm people with enlarged hearts do generally have cardiovascular problems...

[@WiskykillerofWoW]

@RKOICEBLACK dont ever use wikipedia for ur facts, going to wikipedia for your facts is like going to mcdonalds for a steak

[@drumer363]

@danthetinman916 no fucking overdose...combined goddamn effects

[@trayburn2009]

@8611480 drugs cause enlarged hearts to fail. an enlarged heart can definatly be taken care of with no difficulties if only you take care of yourself. but the rev is still fucking beast

[@Hidatore]

No matter if they are using drugs a7x fucking Sorry if that sentence was weird because I'm Brazilian and translate it

[@HellFactor7]

@AlternativeTaco who cares about how he dresses. Let them dress like whatever they want. Listen to the music.

[@jtr10411]

its about time that another genre is coming as much as i hate a7x

[@asphyxiafeeling]

@A7Xloverforevor You are misunderstanding. I don't hold anything against A7X for their success. In fact, i wish them well! To make money doing what you love, what better life is there than that? I just found it funny they believe the mainstream hasn't heard of them. they're one of the biggest bands in the country!

[@raptorarchangel]

Using Revs death as a marketing scheme for their album..nice.

[@drag0nfis7]

@x413Kx no, see you miss the point. don't mind the other bastards who bash your comment, they are part of those who give metal a bad name. yes, the Rev DID infact use drugs, but it was an accidental overdose. do you smoke or do you know anybody who smokes? its the same thing. the Rev was an awesome drummer, and a really fun guy. thats why you should buy their album

[@Bloodray6]

@Misery1219 no, i mean he was there, to receive the award, they're using old footage

[@Allegedly_Angel]

@ArtisanNewsService you could say accidental overdose....

[@Kevon100]

@danthetinman916 Well my point was that MTV and A7x are tied strongly...someone was dissin' MTV because they embrace pop and other mainstream shit not knowing that even A7x are mainstream dudes embraced by MTV. But cheers man

[@Kevon100]

@TheRobNavarro MTV loves A7x...they gave them 'Best New Artist' back in like '04 beating out Rihanna and shit and A7x were featured in MTV2 Headbanger's Ball so in general they have healthy relationships.

[@artisannewsservice]

@gergabrat That was not the coroner's report, unfortunately: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4fSY6iwg7Ogqpo

[@sallysewup]

@pattywakingthefallen its still an overdose its not a suicide! all an overdose is when your body cannot handle the amount of drugs and or alcohol you have ingested.

[@violentrockz]

A7X BEST BAND EVER!!!!

[@MrAndypandy2100]

He didnt die of a drug overdose.

[@TheRevengeancer]

Listen the fuck up everyone, the Rev killed himself, and I don't give a fuck what you say, it's entirely obvious. He took fucking FOUR PAINKILLERS, HEART MEDS, AND ALCOHOL at the SAME TIME. No one, not even the Rev expected to live through it. Also, go listen to Fiction. That's pretty much a suicide note. Writing "Death" then dying three days later? Coincidence? My ass. Don't get me wrong, I love Jimmy as much as anyone else, but there's no doubt he did it on purpose.

[@FartsTasteDelicious]

Jimmy did not die of drug overdose

[@stigmeaner21]

you didnt really need to say drug overdose

[@numberrocker]

@ArtisanNewsService my apologies I saw the video again. i don't know what i was thinking of when i posted the previous comment

[@Bloodray6]

ok, how could the rev also be awarded for the album if he was dead? just saying. RIP The Rev

[@BluesMachineLive]

@ArtisanNewsService He is by far my favourite drummer of all time

[@javierTwitch]

the rev T_T

[@Ahiggins13]

@Hurricane1172 it pisses me off so much wen news ppl say he died of a drug overdose... technicly he did but not illegal drugs and wen u hear drug overdose you automaticly think hes an addict which he isnt

[@GirlScoutCookies420]

@asphyxiafeeling Well i guess they are known if you listen to that kind of music but if you don't then maybe they are not as known as other bands.

[@GeorgeRsh]

@DXmember32511 sure he did coke, but he wasn't a "hardcore addict" and the toxicologists proved my statement true.

[@Dethkill14]

@RoCkErX285 Not exactly. Judging an entire genre based on Lil Wayne and T.I. is unfair. I love metal. death metal, thrash metal, neo-classical metal. But i also happen to love Eminem. He makes good music.

[@EerieWeather]

@asphyxiafeeling megadeath merch is sold at hot topic and there on the radio but there still considered

[@JoshNothnagel]

@RoCkErX285 There is no definition saying that Rap sucks, as much as I can't stand most of it. I think Avenged deserves it this time, though. I was a fan for a while, and got out of it, but Nightmare took me by surprise :)
