The fact one of revs biggest inspos was portnoy and portnoy struggled with one of Jimmy's demos is such an achievement for Jimmy! He'd be so shocked and proud to learn that one of his favourites struggled to play his parts

[@dutchvanderlinde4713]

Literal proof that jimmy is one of the greats

[@shaheenabubshait]

A7X and Mike Portnoy = one of the best collabs in metal!

[@alejandrozurita1194]

Thank you thanos

[@N0FC]

It's really obvious but it has to be said. Portnoy fucking killed it in this track. he really was the perfect replacement for jimmy especially for this album especially for this masterpiece

[@siegemoo6014]

I think Brooks fits the band way more than portnoy does for everything besides this album. No one could've topped portnoy for this album, and especially this track specifically.

[@N0FC]

Siege Moo exactly man brooks is the perfect match but for this album portnoy did exactly what they needed from a drummer

[@siegemoo6014]

N0FC I think Portnoy was the only one who could've taken what Jimmy left and turned it into what he would've wanted. Brooks wouldn't have been able to do that. Aaron wouldn't have either. Portnoy just fits here.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Yea. I love and miss Jimmy as much as the next guy but I think Nightmare is my favorite album. It's not as straight ahead as Hail to the King, which I also really love, I don't understand all the hate for it, but this has all boxes checked. It's catchy enough, it's proggy enough, and it's mixed really well. I didn't care for the mixing or the experimental nature of The Stage. Was a major disappointment in my opinion.

[@Seifer_42]

@@djjazzyjeff1232 Really? What about the mixing didn't you like? I thought it was mixed very well and with dynamics in mind instead of being constantly loud. It felt more human like despite being an album themed around AI and the Universe.

[@microwavetrash2501]

I've always wanted footage of them recording nightmare! Finally we get it. I've always wanted to see Jimmy in the studio during Nightmare

[@omrimadgar2181]

please do Strength Of The World next !

[@myucelll]

yeeesss

[@hoevid-1934]

Omri Madgar yesssssssssasasss

[@mattmcsherry761]

Hell yeah! I'd love to see that one done.

[@beasternol]

Man, dat solo #Epic

[@roeibi2941]

ciii patron ciiii

[@ThisIsRYLS]

those ‘tonight we all day young’ lyrics are super eerie considering Jimmy wrote them.

[@LinkinParkFuckYeah]

Id pay for a whole documentary of these breakdowns man

[@geoffdb8118]

I wish you could buy albums in a modular form like this, to isolate each musician and really get to grips with their contribution.

[@Bloorgusgoorge]

they should do any of the city of evil songs all of those songs are jewels but this series is great none of the less

[@synysterjazmyngates]

I knew this would be too emotional for them to say much about it. This song makes emotional every time I hear it, so I don’t even blame them.

[@deitz6854]

Haven’t seen anyone recommend a breakdown of heretic, it’s definitely one of my favorite and most underrated songs.

[@rxdhxrns]

Apoyo total! Heretic is the best from HTTK, and it has lots of layers to look at one by one.

[@fv1005]

Yes. I love that song. Heavy Megadeth influence!

[@PGDHase]

HERETIC BLOOD. One of my favorite songs for sure!

[@seventrials7989]

seeing Jimmy with his triple bass kit with a rare footage, it's fucking awesome!

[@rakahalulangitan8393]

4.28 is just beautiful dude, love it😍

[@kutsumiru]

I'm glad you guys stuck with this song and didn't scrap it. I've always loved the longer and more experimental songs like this, and this one's one of my favorites. It's like an auditory adventure, an experience more than a song. I know you guys have been working to cut filler out of songs, making them more concise and reducing unneeded space, but I'll always appreciate it when you let your creativity run wild and break convention. That's always when something special happens.

[@jonpapaz4228]

Best song ever and is an enjoyable song to play on guitar so many good breakdowns riffs and melodys love it

[@Kelsey1309]

I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be for you guys to breakdown the songs on Nightmare. Thank you so much for this one.

[@Jordan_Bosco]

This has been my favorite Avenged song for a long time and this makes me very happy lmao

[@abyssshriek7631]

Honestly any song. They’re all fucking fantastic

[@nottheb3st208]

They should play Save Me live again, it'd be insane to watch

[@woodenhoe]

I wanna see Brooks interpretation of this

[@MikeCostanzo12]

Your wish came true. They are doing it on this leg of their tour.

[@KS-qy1gj]

Oh my heart, you can see the sorrow in their eye’s and the immense pain that is still there. You well in my opinion, they are giving Jimmy continuous credit which is beyond deserved but they seem to be aware not to go to far with it. I get the vibe they’re holding back how much they really want to talk about him, his talent, and how they still love and miss him extremely.

[@CrashCanary]

Geez A7X is the greatest most fascinating creative hardcore band to ever fucking exist! A truly once in a lifetime kinda band! So soak it up peeps!!

[@lockdudebro]

Do Until the End, easily one of the best Sevenfold songs ever written 🤘🤘

[@cynthiaboulet]

Yess ! That's what I wanted to say ! I love Until the End ! 🤘😍

[@diegocasas2350]

Dont change the way you think of me continue the lyrics

[@Alex19BRNRKY]

We’re from the same storyyyy

[@Oscarizxc]

A timeless masterpiece! Looking forward to the next generation appreciating this!

[@AlexBoyer]

Sooo INSPIRING!!! Save me is a beast!

[@emmaburgess1705]

The passion from you guys is written on your face. So awesome, fucking love A7X

[@ChasmOfficialGuitar]

honestly my favourite a7x song, its just so perfect.

[@chiaramancini7832]

From my point of view, this is their forever masterpiece. I'm listening to it since years and everytime I find myself screaming! Love them

[@alvingalvez5520]

this is so awesome. thanks for the video! looking forward for more. #A7XFan #DTFan #MPFan

[@jacqueadi2552]

Totally agree. This production remind me of Dream Theater. I just check out Nightmare album again and I feel some Dream Theater stuff in this album. Maybe because there is Mr. Portnoy on drum. Ten years ago and this album still badass. Especially this song. Thank you for your love! 🔥

[@AugieDrummer96]

Hope they do more songs from Nightmare, really wanna see how Mike tackled the Rev's drum parts and what stuff he added into Jimmy's playing.

[@lucifermorningstar1720]

Love this series. Would love to see either Exist, Strength of the World, A Little Piece of Heaven, or maybe Lost next. You guys have been my favorite band since City of Evil.

[@fushiguro8913]

Also, I love the clean part of this song... one of my favourite sections out of Avenged's entire discography

[@ChucksPullingVideos]

I love these videos so much!!

[@hdzhdz-xm2cp]

i would love a breakdown of god only knows that transition was just amazing and blew my mind and i really would love to see what gave y'all the ideas to cover that masterpiece

[@blazinge4207]

I feel like they're gonna cover all their original songs before they do covers, if they even choose to do covers

[@hdzhdz-xm2cp]

@@blazinge4207 i know but i hope we get to see it

[@nicklabbeful1]

PLEASSE play this song live when you guys come back next year. Up there with my favourite a7x songs of all time

[@TacoInvader69]

Brooks can't play this sadly

[@TheRealHaloLover]

I can only imagine what wizardry The Rev would have brought us, such a good video and everything

[@maveric27]

Love the harmonisation

[@exodiatheforbiddenone8618]

I absolutely love this song! When I listen it, I have a strange gothic feeling. This is the reason why I love Avenged Sevenfold so much!

[@Greg_Buckingham]

Shoutout to dream theater

[@staystrongjoseph]

Nostalgia...i remember adoring this song in high school Stilld do after graduating from college!!!!

[@lawnboyfreak]

This may have been a “Nightmare” to record, but you have to admit how epically awesome it turned out!

[@HugoPaulo]

i got very very emotional during this one

[@lukegerman5943]

They skipped my favorite part of the entire song (7:32 of the song) where everything just stops and they explode out of it. But still a great vid and a great insight into the song writing process. Also, can you please please please do a breakdown of Natural Born Killer.

[@elwingates6837]

That's my dream thanks for breakdown save me

[@chockchid3237]

Mike ❤ You the best forever, thanks

[@edudesouzav]

Maaaan, I miss these breakdown videos so much haha

[@civdefco]

Legend has it the song is still being made

[@Lets.Breakdown]

THIS IS THEIR BIGGEST MASTERPIECE!!!!

[@SparkyBeer]

One of my all time favorite songs to drum, really wish I could've heard Jimmy play this, him and Portnoy were and still are my idols

[@HuyNguyen-vj1uw]

That solo is truly something else

[@khoirulanam9850]

Just the best song of other best songs you created!!!

[@xyz0mx]

What an excellent song!

[@barbaraveronicaolivar4175]

Que lindo sos Syn . No me canso de mirarte...

[@CMFL77]

The White Album got me hooked and I went backwards from there. Jimmys death was a horrible blow. When it was announced Portnoy was playing on the next album it couldn't be more obvious how huge it was going to be. It's a shame it didn't become a long-term thing but for a moment in time they made a record that still holds up and will for generations.

[@Remy10TV]

the Rev might be gone but he is foREVer immortalized in our hearts and throughout time and space. RIP Jimmy

[@nitrus7988]

I hope one day they release some of the demos with jimmy on them. Like maybe later this year for the 10 year Anniversary

[@dendensushi9651]

Fucking loved it! I would love to see breakdown for Remenissions or Second Heartbeat next pls 🖤🙏

[@iLuckySpark]

Would love to see them go over either Exist or Strength of the World next.

[@subutaynoyan5372]

I appreciate Syn's absolute distaste about playing stuff he's not comfortable with, even though he's some virtuoso level of a shredder when he wants to be

[@bassil6138]

That face reaction when they listen to this track and how much love they put in it❤️awesome fuckin awesome like they hear this song for the first time🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@givinorandhika9095]

please do sidewinder next.... 😍

[@gavinmcdaniel2147]

This series has been soooooooo educational and just fun overall, to make it better maybe try an obscure song, maybe "sidewinder" or "The Wicked End" those songs both sound like monster tracks. Love the series, thank you!

[@takezo4849]

always love every nightmare songs

[@aryayudha460]

WE ALL LOVE YOU JIMMY

[@johnclark6916]

2:48 song number like 3 Badass!!!They say this song was a clusterfuck to write but ended up becoming a masterpiece!!!! Thanks Jimmy for your Psycho thinking!! Favorite A7X song. Listen at high volume on headphones in a dark room. Blow your mind!!

[@olive9454]

My life would be complete if you guys did Dancing Dead. I don’t understand how that song never made it onto an album. It’s one of the best.

[@DriftKingfromTekken3]

I can hear the bass guitar so clearly in the multitracks here. It was the thing I found missing most in this album. It felt so stripped down

[@Resengan21]

I'd love to hear what they think of some of some STST songs. I know its not really a good album or recognized but it would be interesting to hear some of their thoughts on the type of music they made in their earliest years...although matt IS the only one alive to talk about it, so maybe just some waking the fallen.

[@zackyjamesjayveeaquino228]

The Rev is really fucking amazing

[@EpicSoraPwns]

AMAZING SONG!

Something off sounding the seventh trumpet or waking the fallen would be awesome

my fav songs , thanks ♥️

[@Davidtheswed]

Live Q/A we need now!

[@evol9013]

December 28, 2009 Jimmy passed away, it means almost 10 years. In my opinion, after Jimmy passed away, I felt there was something lacking here, like running without shoes, like something lacking. I love this band so much, but Jimmy will never be replaced.

[@ziozoni3309]

5:15 "Pure Dream Theater stuff" GG Matt

[@xwfbsmedia1108]

I love the breakdown episodes, I wish you would've thought of this when Jimmy was still alive so we could hear him try to explain some of this stuff 😂😂 foREVer

[@bsuqueren]

Gotta be my favorite A7X song. Such an amazing song.

[@benr41kil]

I reallly want to hear the demo to this song now. Just kinda want to learn more and more about Jimmy and what other way would be more perfect is through his original music

[@PolarityMetal]

Dem Mike Portnoy's signature drum fills. Absolutely love this song
