Fun fact; the “Skull” part at the beginning was the last usable vocal from The Rev before he unfortunately passed away ❤

[@UhOh_ItzJDX]

after so long i was thinking and hoping it was that, Nightmare has so much of The Rev tied up in it it's beautiful, same with LIBAD, they brought a lot of the Rev and his ideas back and it's incredible

Save me is a masterpiece song. It’s just a shame they don’t play it live anymore. M. Shadows made a comment a couple years back that it’s such a long song and hard to perform. Fiction would make you cry because it’s the last song from the REV!! 🖤💙🖤

[@lylaznboi01]

I do hope they play it again someday. I want to hear Brooks Wackerman's feel on it live.

[@raphalbq]

I feel very lucky because i've seem them live only once, and they played save me

they should play it instead of Unholy Confessions, this song is much better to end the show.

[@lawlesslibrarian]

I'm 43. I found out my oldest son had a rare brain tumor when he was 15. This album helped me in so many ways processing my emotions while also mentally going through the exercise of burying him. I cry every almost everytime I hear Save Me, Victim, or So Far Away. My son is still alive but there are no promises as to when it will be over, so I live and love him like Seize the Day. Now I'm fucking crying writing this:( I love A7x because they just get it.

[@stevefilley9765]

I hope at this point he's still with you. Stay strong sending good thoughts your way. 😊 if not so sorry, but the song Cosmic will tell you he's always here and everywhere at the same time. Free of all pain and suffering. Maybe even getting some lessons from THE REV.

[@konelc3475]

Sieze the day is my fav song from a7x

[@philcook6757]

This song broke me when I first heard it. Can't even imagine losing a best friend and trying to figure out how in the hell to move on from it. "Tonight we all die young....".

[@leondyer1647]

this song broke me too as someone young (22) lost my best friend due to mental health and I felt this song and how m.shadows and A7X feel about jimmy

[@mike_mad2803]

[@danpsylence]

This song broke my heart hearing this for the first time but never understanding how to lose a best friend until last year I lost my cousin he was 19 years old. He OD and passed away. Fentanyl was the cause. He was struggling with stuff but we never knew that. He was always happy and very good spirit kind of guy. Nightmare album has hit me harder than ever but has helped me healed. Avenged Sevenfold has saved my life when I was 13 and the music is there whenever I need it.

Dude you're such an important person in this community, for real! I can tell you're a really sensitive listener and the focus you make on those really subtle nuances they make such as production stuff (panning, timbre) or storytelling stuff is really entertaining to watch and I feel like I can learn alot. Thank u very much bro.

[@Dicodec]

Damn that means a lot, thank you so much for watching

​@@Dicodeche is literally right man

[@daspinmonkey]

@GodSmacK5181@@Dicodec For real. Ive listened to this song 100s of times, its helped me through a lot, and you have shown me even more things to appreciate about it in your break down and analysis. Thank you for making these videos :)

[@atexandude8303]

I was going to say about the same thing. Your love for music and being able to show exactly what you want others to hear or look for is something special in itself. It’s highly appreciated. Started listening to the band back in, god, what, 04? 05? Bat Country, A7X was the first band I found on my own. While my taste has changed, they’ll always have a special place in my heart. 09 of course, when the Rev passed, the band was such an immediate influential point in my life then, arguably my favorite member passes and then they crush you with this album. Save Me, So Far Away, Fiction, those make me hurt internally. Haha, it’s a great tune and you’ve got a great ear for it, bud. Keep it up🤙

[@C-Rod7x]

Damn you making me cry over here on my lunch break at work lol Such a powerful, emotional song. One of their best songs without a doubt.

[@ryanmendoza6740]

Same lol

[@sokolpunch]

Big same here. "Save Me" is such an important piece of their catalog. "Fiction" will break you, godspeed brother

[@Syzfox]

"I can see the pictures clear as yesterday. Pictures all my own. I can hear the voices begging you to stay; but know you're not alone" Knowinging all these people with depression and some who take their own lives makes this album hit so deep on a lot of tracks

[@RT-oy7mu]

Please do the ENTIRE album, every single track is an absolute banger. Especially Buried Alive.

[@RT-oy7mu]

Also can you also do The Macrocosm by Rings of Saturn. :)

[@zachalbert806]

I'd watch the whole album reaction

[@alvinjoseph7260]

Danger line 😫

[@cesarjimenez5718]

Buried Alive 🤟

[@mobafan3713]

Buried alive is good, but not one of my favourites from the album. But the whole album doesn't have a single bad song!

[@reztech0ne]

According to Spotify, I have listened to this song over 7000 times. I don't think there's a single time I have listened that it hasn't emotionally crushed me. A work of art. R.I.P James "The Rev" Sullivan

[@Oculyss]

How do you check how many times you’ve listened to a song?

[@JXR8789]

Favorite Avenged Sevenfold song. It has everything you can ask for. Hits harder now a days since my mom is gone. This song just embodies everything that A7X is and it has the last bits of The Rev’s writing as well. Always going to be my favorite A7X song.

[@cristiancervantes3088]

Rip your mother famo. Hope you've been ok

[@mobafan3713]

First of all I'm so sorry for you loss! No one deserves that! ... reading that I don't feel comfortable to comment your thoughts on the song! I mean it's also my favourite I love every single lart of it and I've listened to it more than any other A7X songs combined, and I can see why you appreciate it so much!

[@lylaznboi01]

When I first heard the news when this album was being made and it was announced that Mike Portnoy would be playing drums on the album, I immediately knew that this album was going to be a banger because of how much the Rev idolizes Portnoy. Hearing this song specifically, you can hear Portnoy all over it. Even though this song never became a hit, this is probably one of the best Avenged Sevenfold songs ever written so far.

[@MastaDRD]

Not long after this album hit, I spent a few months thinking someone I'd dearly loved was dead, and I listened to this song a fucking *lot*. For me, this is one of their most significant songs.

[@leib109]

Their best song ever. Hands down.

[@fazbruh]

Thank you. It’s sad that almost nobody knows this one compared to their other hits. This is the only one I listen to daily

[@bitchbecool1276]

Cosmic is another daily listen for me ✨✨✨

[@RussianRoulettex]

YEAH. INDEED.

[@cristiancervantes3088]

Strength of the world is their best imo

[@mobafan3713]

​@@fazbruhI agree that its the best song, I agree that deserves more attention, but I kinda like it the way it is, the real fans appreciate it a lot, however Demons is my second favourite song and im sure no one knows about it 😭😭

Holy Jesus, that was the most powerful reaction I'ver ever seen. So glad that you chose A7X to react, there's an universe to discover, just don't stop ♥

[@eduardorios425]

Best reaction I’ve ever seen. I don’t know much about production but I love feeling A7X songs, the way that the band tries to share their feelings through music it’s very unique. Also, it is very touching how you went far over this song! Such an amazing reaction!

[@juanroamillan]

Hands down, this is the best Avenged Sevenfold song ever in my opinion. There's not a single one that had made me feel all kinds of emotions just like this one. Thanks for this reacton man, ur the bestest.

[@seangriffin5942]

Bro, I adore people that give this song love. It’s that good. Side note, Mike Portnoy gave this album, and especially this song, justice. RIP Rev

[@northwind115]

Insanely cool fact about this song, the ending "tonight we all die young-" is the unfinished original chorus of the Song, written by Jimmy. Which explains why then lyrics are the way they are. You may see in some demo tapes of other avenged songs, that in order to get the feel of how the vocals should sound and be sung, Jimmy would just repeat the main phrase used in that part, because no other lyrics were written. If you want an example of what I mean, look up "lost it all with the rev singing". You'll hear him sing the bridge mid way through, only using the lyrics "theres something in your eyes." And other mumbled words. It's so beautiful to see the band still put in his chorus as the ending even after they had to make a new one.

[@kailenmckenna5722]

This song is so beautiful, such an experience through out m, glad to see I’m not the only one who tears up 🥲🤘🏼

[@stevenfilley7631]

Oh yea, if I'm in a down mood. This song puts me into tears. These guys are just pure genius.

[@PNWSportsCards]

I feel like this would have changed your life if you would have heard it when it was released lol. This whole album was such an experience. The pure emotion you can feel from the band in every song is unmatched. Buried Alive & Victim are also great ones...

[@mrs.interpret]

i love this comment. very true. i’m the moment it was absolutely crazy heavy. Victim is my favorite on the album i think ❤

[@mrs.interpret]

in the moment***

[@mobafan3713]

As someone very picky I could say that this is the only 10/10 album ever from any band! I've listened to many and there is always something missing! But here everything is perfect! No song that I dislike, no song that I would skip, No reason not to play over and over again

[@philmarquez5939]

The fact of you getting emotional right there just shows how big the impact of this song can be. So underrated. Sublime work, keep it up.

[@Rocky-N-Angel]

Mike Portnoy was the Drummer for A7X on Nightmare album. Although the door was revolving with drummers for about a 6 year span, Brooks Wackerman seems to be the final guy for the band....Hopefully. He is a very tight drummer for sure. Thanks for the video. Just come across your channel, I just subscribed.

[@canofmilk1658]

this is my absolute all time favorite avenged sevenfold song and i’ve never seen someone react to it, let alone feel all the same feelings i felt my first time listening to this song. it means alot to see other people enjoying and feeling this song as strongly as i do!

As I've grown older this song has meant more and more to me with every listen. I can't hear it without thinking of people I love that are no longer here with us and it makes me cry every time. I'm sure a lot of us react the exact same way to this song that you did, it hits hard in every single way

It's overwhelming isn't it? It cuts you off guard and puts you into a hard spot in reality. It's been one of my most real life songs for a long time. Your tears at the end aren't judged. All I can say is welcome to the family.

[@potatofry9082]

Jimmy wrote the all the drums parts from hail to the King album and made a demo but before he could record ,he passed away . Later their bandmates knows that , Mike Portney is also one of the drummer that Jimmy considers as his Idol and also Mike Portneys sons is biggest fan of Jimmy , They approached him (Mike) and made him listen to the songs of the album and recorded the song and drums 😊All the drum parts are not exactly the same as what Jimmy did but in some Mike also added his Signature fill like in the part of the song of Save me ‘ Tonight we all die young ‘ Which was supposed to be ‘Tonight we all batman 😂’…

[@raphalbq]

That's my favorite song of all time. Its a truly masterpiece

[@santi141414]

This song is one of their masterpieces and the song that introduce me to the long songs, just beautiful! Thanks for the reaction Alan!

[@sammason189]

One of the best A7X songs easily!! It’s just a masterpiece, period.

Song is even sadder when you find out it was written by the guy that didn't make it long enough for the release of the album

[@JacobC479]

Listening to the demo with Jimmy is so weird because the song is there but it’s different, they didn’t come up with the chorus and everything until later so it’s weird hearing it on the demo be so different.

[@Ol_White_Fatalis]

This album is full of bangers, and this song is no different. Greatness.

[@tobiasdoherty1221]

One of the reasons I love A7X is their ability to make these long, epic songs that don't feel near their length. Something about how they switch up the sound, pace, long bridges, etc. Perfect examples for me are Exist, The Stage, Save Me, ALPOH

[@rsrain14]

Favorite A7X song by far!!! What an absolute masterpiece

[@khsdrummerboy06]

[@banehog]

I can never get through this one without crying. Their Magnum Opus for sure.

[@gabadaba5436]

The absolute best part of this song is the dualing guitar underneath the vocals in the part of the song before the final chorus. It adds so much emotion to the piece and goes so great with the vocal delivery that sounds like someone in pain over the loss of a loved one. It really captures the emotions of frustration and grief that really drives the song home for me I'd also like to add that, while Portnoy did perform the drums for the album and concert cycle, the original demos for the song were brought in by the Rev. They were largely incomplete, though, so the song was stitched together by the rest of the band and Portnoy until we got the masterpiece we have today.

[@AndriSimbolon-gf5nc]

someone needs to count how many emotions that he pours in this song

[@Munkydroid]

If this was his reaction to Save Me, imagine how he’d react to So Far Away. Bro this album had me fucking crying when I heard it. Became a huge fan literally 2 years before The Rev passed away.

[@donnieuchiha]

The first time you starting talking about the panning, I said out loud “oh wait for the panning bro” hahaha. This song is a fucking masterpiece, enough said.

[@giovannitorres2470]

[@MissouriRails]

Absolutely love this song man

[@josemartins5657]

Extra fact abou this song... ! Rev wanted the chorus to be "Tonight we all die" but the band was not keen as was not working well with the instrumentation. after he passed away, the song was not yet completed, so as a tribute to The Rev (drummer), they placed " tonight we all die" in the end of the song. that's why you hear it so many times at the end.

[@justinbowen1183]

A small part of the solo, the super fast part before the melodic section towards the end, reminds me alot of And All Things Will End and the outro solo for second heartbeat that same general vibe. I also think the part after the solo when it slows down and the filtered acoustic part starts after the blistering fast solo is a methaphor for they lived life hard and fast but now reality kicked in and now everything is slow and dead around them so their completely lost on where to go next.

[@mrego-zz5mu]

[@nanaopfernandes]

GREAT REACTION!!!!! you're able to listen to the song technically, strip down the parts, the bass (THANKS!!!), the harmonies, the production, everything, but it's not just technical, it's accessible. you do a great job of also listening it with your heart and feeling the song. that's hard to do. amazing! and yes, this song is a masterpiece.

[@tsof_trinium6474]

This song is about Avenged Sevenfold's drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, who was found dead on December 28, 2009. It tells of how his passing has impacted on the band and speaks of the immense pain that the group members have experienced due to their loss.

[@raduste1998]

You should really watch one of the few clips they sang this live. At the end, during the "tonight. we all die young" people started singing it with Matt, so he was like "ok, then, have at it"and points the mic to the audience. It was amazing.

Coming to this after hearing Life is But a Dream... it's just so tight and meticulously crafted like there's an OCD nature to it. So clean. Where as the new album is much more free flowing and experimental, makes you think. I love how this band is always keeping people guessing.

[@justinromamo466]

I remember I felt the same way when I heard this song when it first came out… I was in 6th grade and understood the emotion then just as much I do today… the progression in this entire album… nightmare was and always be my most emotional experience of avenged sevenfold. The new album and Nightmare are hand in hand the best two albums they have ever made.

[@likeabosspp813]

I have cried to this song multple times, it's what good and meaningful music does to a man

[@strictlyemo]

As someone who battles depression daily, has had to deal with loss in abundance throughout my life. When this song came out I didn’t know how much I needed it then and how much I would need it in the future. I get a lot of shit for them being my favorite band for songs like this I fill vindicated

[@river4088]

One of the most affecting moments I've ever had at a show was when the band played this and paused all the music for just the crowd to sing "tonight we all die young." I was not the only one in tears in the pit.

[@TheSnappyWolf]

We gotta get him to see the videos of them making this album

[@tatabrunetti]

The reaction came from the bottom of his heart!
