This is a very insightful reaction and I really appreciate the way that you approach expressing your initial impression of the parts. Of about a hundred songs, this one is one of the most instrumentally dense. It was the closing track of the album Nightmare, while the opening track was the title track you'd heard 10 years ago. The two were originally meant to be the bookends for a concept album, but the band's drummer and occasional vocalist The Rev passing away during the making of the album meant they had to make changes to accommodate his absence. The lyrics were re-written to refer to him. The band's dream was to be world famous with their friends and to share all of the impact with each other, and when they lost The Rev, they almost lost that dream. The vile world is one where unfortunately a lot of brilliant people who make a positive impact have very short lives. The Rev passed away at 28 from a heart attack caused by prescription painkillers used to treat a heart condition and laser eye surgery, mixed with alcohol he drank at a party. The crystal blue eyes were Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan's. One song that highlights his drumming that would be great for a reaction is Blinded in Chains. It's from the same album as MIA, City of Evil. A lyric video is definitely recommended. This one in particular. A lot have typos or don't have the backing vocal lyrics. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4epi4mcqtaSjLs

@@BetterEveryDayKZbin Absolutely! ❤ Blinded in Chains was also the first song I had ever heard from the band. It was in a game called Need for Speed: Most Wanted. The band had gotten a lot of video game soundtrack deals after they broke out on MTV. It was a great introduction.

Nightmare album is amazing! Very dark themed, but needed cause this was released right after the drummer passed away

I enjoy watching people react to a7x songs for whatever fucking reason and I see you have done a lot of them so I'm about to check them out. This song has some sick guitar riffs and wicked time signature changes that cant be done by just anyone. I think you said they were putting you to sleep. Wasnt sure if that was a bad or good comment lol but I'm gonna see how you react to these other songs. Keep rocking there are so many good songs to choose from!

If you ask the fans, probably 5/10 fans will say this is the best A7x song. I think it would be in a fight between Save Me and A Little Piece of Heaven. "Save Me" seems to me the most complete song of the band and with the added emotional component due to the death of The Rev, although in my opinion the best song they have, their biggest song, is A Little Piece of Heaven . Although this is not a competition, we can enjoy all the songs 😌.

I recommend listening to “ Blinded in Chains “ and “ Eternal Rest “ if you haven’t already. Those are 2 really good songs by them! :)

If I remember correctly, Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater was the drummer behind this song while the song recording. Anyways, great reaction, I don't see many people react to Save me.

Yes. He was the drummer for the entire Nightmare album.
