One of the best metal songs ever made.

[@kodayybluesss4142]

and this song is one of a7x's masterpieces besides a little piece of heaven

[@DavidSmith-ig6fe]

100% this rivals anything ever wrote. I was absolutely stunned the first time I heard it.

[@mrdeathamore]

there are thousands of songs that can be called "best ever made", but yeah, I kinda agree. It's a good song and higher than everything they made.

[@nicholasbender542]

Easily

[@Negative.Creeep]

The chemistry in this song with the lead and Rhythm guitar is one of the greatest ever written

[@ItsMillerTime99]

Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater was the drummer for this album, the first after their founding member and drummer Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan passed away. There is so much more for you to check out from them, especially from this album and earlier on

[@soadfan1016]

The Rev composed all the drumming for the album and recorded demos. And then Portnoy did the final recordings

[@avengedcthulhu]

This is the rev, this was actually the last song he ever drummed too. mike helped with the live stuff.

[@iamdondawson]

@@avengedcthulhu nah, that's just not true.

[@avengedcthulhu]

@@iamdondawson Theres a behind the scenes showing him drumming this song in recording

[@avengedcthulhu]

evidently in the youll also see mike portnoy filling in some empty spots to finish the song but the rev and mike both worked on the song

[@heavenwithin81]

Where have I been!? This band is great!.

[@errismurphy5395]

This whole album rocks!!!

[@kodayybluesss4142]

And this song is one of a7x's masterpieces besides a little piece of heaven

[@28dirtj]

This song is part of what I believe is one of the 5 stages of grief, they have several songs that are tributes to Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan I believe. This one I personally think is anger, blaming themselves and wondering what they did to lose their best friend.

[@HeavyMetalForLife]

I take it as the depression stage for the first half and acceptance for the second half (especially the end)

[@Tumpzu]

i think god hates us is the anger and save me as the depression then nightmare as the shock and denial then buried alive is the pain and guilt. fiction is whell obvsly the hope and acceptance

[@28dirtj]

@@Tumpzu I'm not 100% sure on any of them tbh. I think Victim is also a song that I think is one of the 5 stages. I don't think Buried Alive is. The 5 I'm thinking of are So Far Away, Victim, Fiction, Save Me and God Hates Us. But everyone has their own interpretation of every song of course. But you could be right. It's probably Victim- denial, God Hates Us- anger, So Far Away is- depression, Fiction- acceptance and Save Me- bargaining.

[@Bushheadmonster]

The whole Nightmare is just a fucking masterpiece and one collective tribute to Jimmy. I love it

[@falsemcnuggethope]

How does that work out since The Rev even played demos for the songs? Weren't the lyrics ready back then?

[@banehog]

This is definitely their Magnum Opus. The music is next level, and the lyrics and vocal delivery are so powerful, always get a lump in my throat when I listen to this one. Only thing I dislike about it is that they will never top it (even though they came close with Exist).

[@simeondobrev5835]

I respect your opinion, but to me, Exist doesn't come close to how well put this song is. It's a bit all o'er the place imo.

[@banehog]

@@simeondobrev5835 yeah, I love Exist, but agree, this one is on another level.

[@macbcheesy]

@banehog Magnum Opus. Such a perfect word to remember exists for this song.

[@taylorguerin7781]

Fun fact, The Rev(original drummer) wrote most of this song before he died and the ending…”tonight we all die young” was supposed to be the chorus but the band thought it would unbalance the song to have that be the chorus but they knew that wanted to use it so instead they added it to the end of the song.

[@kellyh8138]

Coming Home and Not Ready To Die are absolute bangers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@simeondobrev5835]

I second this. First has my favorite solo and the other was written and recorded in only 4 days, still made it badass!

[@modifidious7171]

The Rev had the entire album recorded before he died. They were rough files but they were all there. The band reached out to Portnoy who's son is a big fan of The Rev and the band. He agreed to record in studio once they had decided to finish the album for Jimmy and his family and of course, the fans. Jimmy was a massive fan of Dream Theater and Mike Portnoy was one of his heroes so for him to lend his talent is a big deal to the band. I visited his grave, said my goodbyes to him officially. It was nice. RIP Jimmy.

[@banehog]

I'm not sure official means what you think it means!

[@modifidious7171]

@@banehog As in I got to say what I always wanted to. Goodbye has multiple meanings dude.

[@banehog]

@@modifidious7171 yeah I do believe you know what goodbye mean. Still not sure you understand what official means though.

[@martinarscott3524]

wrong, the band did an interview in later years where they clearly explained the writing of Save Me was nowhere near complete and they had to put together the pieces of a bit of a mess to complete the song after the Rev's passing, Mike Portnoy recorded the drumming

[@modifidious7171]

@@martinarscott3524 Wrong. Jimmy had already worked on "Save Me" and everything else. Portnoy added a ton of stuff to fill in but the skeleton of the entire album was already recorded on an electronic kit at the Rev's house in Huntington Beach. I recall them about to record the album that was to be 'Nightmare' before he died. So, fuck off my post before you try and call me out. Know what you're talking about bum.

[@PoliAstroN]

Also important to note that the drummer in this recording is Mike Portnoy (ex Dream Theater) and he helped the band record the whole album following the passing of Jimmy ‘The Rev’ Sullivan

[@cjbrett89]

SO many incredible songs to check out from these guys. I would 100% go to their City of Evil and Waking the Fallen albums. The Wicked End and Second Heartbeat are definitely ones to check out from those!

[@franciscoesparza8255]

Awesome request!!!! Finally a true fan request one of their best songs.

[@95_nishanraisulkarim62]

Expecting more A7x reactions.. Such a great song,great reaction.. Their whole discography is Lit🫶👑

[@Bushheadmonster]

I really really like the fact the you guys liked Nobody. It caused a pretty big divide among the fan base cause it was such a different sound that everyone was used to especially for being the single for a new album since basically The Stage’s full album surprise release in 2016 so I’m really glad you guys enjoyed it I definitely recommend exploring their new album for sure. But the fact you guys jumped straight into Save Me as y’alls second song by them also makes me really happy because it’s arguably their best song of all time at least in my opinion. Anyways I really enjoyed the video!

[@bradywilliams8370]

that album is unskipable you can listen to it straight through without stopping. my favorite album of all time

[@Eric-lw1dz]

Be sure to check out the tribute to jimmy the rev Sullivan the drummer. In song called, So Far Away.

[@eduardomchernandez8068]

This solo is amazing

[@dylanvasicadrums]

Their original drummer wrote this song, as a demo. He passed away a year before this album came out. Mike portnoy ex dream came in and finished the drums for the album and toured with them for a year.

[@destructskater]

The fact that you felt the emotion without even understanding the meaning behind the song yet is incredible. Great, raw reaction!

[@neliJRXD]

if somebody asked me what do art means, i just show this song, this is a masterpiece

[@kodayybluesss4142]

and this song is one of a7x's masterpieces besides a little piece of heaven

[@neliJRXD]

@@kodayybluesss4142 yeah totally agree

[@xerodelacroix5552]

Gates is such a good guitarist that Matt (vocals) often jokes if he hits a wrong note or bends too far live, even though it's usually something you'd never even notice, he'll be like "That's the reminder that Symyster Gates is a human being".

[@dominic0917]

If you want another absolute masterpiece you need to listen to Exist. It is an absolute ride of pure musical talent.

[@MultiCLucas]

Thank you so much for reacting to this! This is the track that really got me into progressive music and paved the way for a lot of my music taste. I'm happy to support y'all and absolutely stoked to get a coveted GAME OVER on my first suggestion!!!

[@kellyh8138]

Dream Theater's Mike Portney on drums - he filled in when the Rev died and this a tribute to him

[@plumblum2045]

Lovely reaction. Thank you for being so genuine and vulnerable. Looking forward to more!

[@madmonkey8577]

I love you guys, honest reactions and avenged has had a huge part in my life. This right here is what the world needs

[@nickmarano6167]

So happy someone requested this one!

[@rolfksamuelsen8395]

Really fun to see your positive reactions😊.

[@ericjaynes7150]

I grew up on avenged, I missed them live with the rev. The first time I saw them live was for the nightmare tour, and portnoy fucking killed it.

[@Koderayy]

Love these reaction yall so hyped for instruments that’s so sick I got their whole logo tattooed across my chest 🖤

[@bojangles4791]

omg that was so good watching you both react to one of the greatest Rollercoaster rides in music history imo❤

[@coltonbennett9092]

Buried Alive, Hail to the King, Seize the Day, Critical Acclaim, Beast and the Harlot, Bat Country, Nightmare, and Afterlife. Just to name a few of a7x bangers you haven’t heard yet

[@needops97]

Guitar player is Brian Haner, mostly recognized as Synyster Gates (stage name). If you like his guitar work you should check a song called The Stage.

[@Munkydroid]

It wasn't a single, but I would suggest listening to "Higher" off "The Stage" album. It's a masterpiece of musical composition. Just my opinion.

[@nathanzamora8070]

Only music can bring me to tears like this.

[@brekerickson9664]

This is easily what i consider the biggest overall masterpiece in consideration of what each musician brings to the table and the heartwarming tribute Portnoy paid the Rev in this piece. Love watching others react to what i've long considered the greatest 10 mins in music.

[@alancraig782]

Such a long but amazing song. There's so much to breakdown in it. From the same album the song "So Far Away" gets to me everyone 😢 lol... I got to see A7X in 2018 for the 1st time and it was the best gig I've been to. Hope they come back to Scotland with this new album.

[@aaronbryant7240]

So happy that you guys are checking out A7X. Earned a sub from me

[@marbella135]

This song was a tribute to their legendary late drummer Jimmy The Rev Sullivan. He made most of their songs even for this album but Portnoy had to step in to record the actual album cause Jimmy died. Last song the Rev wrote was Fiction and he handed it in 3 days before he passed. Its a kind of a good bye letter to say the least. Definitely check that out and their LBC concert which is ideal for you to understand why this is such a beloved band. Critical Acclaim, Afterlife, Unholy Confessions, Chapter 4, A Little Piece of Heaven (their personal Bohemian Rapsody), Almost easy, the Stage, Exist, Acid Rain, So Far Away the official video is also a tribute to the Rev. He was a musical genius (they all are) and the glue of this band. They all grew up together and they ve been creating some real magic for more than 20 years. Welcome to the Family guys. You opened Pandora's box.

[@joebarrera9741]

Love this BAND

[@NotedEel]

this is my favorite song by A7X. Glad you guys checked it out!

[@santi141414]

This song is one of their masterpieces, and yes one, because they have like a 20 masterpieces in ther repertory

[@jimwilliams8663]

Allegaeon “Proponent for Sentience III” Allegaeon “Gray Matter Mechanics “

[@matthewneely]

I think you would enjoy Sidewinder. And if you want to hear what it feels like to return from war....I recommend MIA I do not know how they came up with the lyrics for that song... but My son showed it to me, and we both being vets of wars, respectively Desert Storm, and my son served in Syria and Iraq Operation Inherent Resolve. we were in tears by the end.

[@puppetmaster8551]

Stellar song from a great band, they have so much good material over the years, band gets far too much hate just because they got super famous. Nice reaction guys.

[@mirkecWii]

The stage is another really great song you'd like

[@ballaholla2811]

Such a great song!!

[@dreamcinema92]

This was my favorite song from Avenged for quite a while until I listened to Exist. It's a longer track than Save Me (their longest track to date), but I hope you get around to reacting to it because it is most definitely a banger of a tune.

[@lopezjrmario3832]

Let’s hear “ Crimson Day” or “Brompton cocktail” next “Second Heartbeat” even “Buried Alive”!!!!!!!❤🎉❤🎉

[@soydiosdado]

now Exist, it’s amazing too

[@snitchex5087]

u have to check out thier live performance back in 2008 Live in LBC, it's aknowledged to be thier best live show, couple os great songs from that live are: critical acclaim afterlife second heartbeat almost easy

[@deanwatson5883]

Mean top you got on bro 🤘

[@deanwatson5883]

Gr8 reaction also 😊

[@unfortunatelyfortunately5585]

Check out 'so far away'. The video is about their late drummer

[@domnvlst5031]

rip REV

[@Lukkern]

I don't listen to a7x that much anymore, bu they're a big reason i found my favourite genre of music (prog rock and prog metal). This song is a masterpiece and one of the few songs of theirs i still come back to.

[@DM-of7ys]

Please do more avenged. Loved your reaction

[@johncarpenter3751]

The drummer that is playing on this song is name Mike Portnoy. He played with dream theater the drummer that wrote this song his name was Jimmy The Rev Sullivan and unfortunately he passed away before they got a chance to record this album.

[@nicholasparker3786]

This album "nightmare" was written in pain of the loss of Jimmy "the Rev" Sullivan. You can hear it in every song, the pain, loss, confusion. I sae them live and they still use Jimmy's voice as backing vocals for some songs 🥲❤️

[@mikalsolo2678]

This is rhe hardest shit ive heard in my life!!

[@jsk6239]

If you like drums you should 100% watch Alex Bents "Sever The Hand" playthrough. He's the actual drummer of Trivium but he's so good you'd think he's a robot. The best part is he plays the actual song along with it so you still get to hear the song

[@johncarpenter3751]

Oh man!! Y’all just listened to one of the best metal songs ever written and performed. You need to check out more of their material, definitely look at A little piece of heaven next

[@jacobsmith2603]

Check out "second heartbeat" live at warped tour!

[@yurichristensen5122]

It would be cool of you guys did Katatonia, starting with song My Twin. They are not like anything you have done before and they have a connection to Opeth, signers are best friends.

[@Benjamin-ri3rk]

Check out Buried Alive - same album, it's so good.. Then maybe So Far Away and its music video which is about their drummer who passed away.

[@95_nishanraisulkarim62]

So Far Away is from this same album and is the true tribute song on the album (the whole album is essentially a tribute honestly).

Avenged Sevenfold - MIA 🔥

[@christians494]

Mike Portnoy is a world class drummer known for his complex and tight playing, especially using high hat fillers for simple beats. He was founding member of prog-metal legends Dream Theater, which he and two fellow musicians founded at the age of 18 back in '85, when they were all attending Berklee Music College. He left Dream Theater for good in '09 to help out A7X finish this record. As much as I respect his choice of leaving, he left DT in shambles and they were never really the same without him...

[@rosswithrow7942]

You've got another sub .... A7x is my favorite band 😊

[@renejensen7799]

Talking about good emotional and heavy metal, this is up there.. A7X is much more then what youve seen yet, they also got diffrent style of songs, the early stuff is diffrent, as well as the real ballads, and yes the agressive, the emotional, the take on sociaty, and yes really diverse actually.
