synyster gates is the lead guitarist, hes amazing.

And he wrote this song also.

[@dreamXmurder]

Him and Zack are amazing. For sure.

[@larquenquen126]

This is a good example of the musical talent the band has. Once again I have to advocate for Save Me. Much like the most of this album, it pays homage to The Rev

[@james.mcgraw]

I believe 'Save Me' is one of their masterpieces

[@Heroo01]

Save Me is my favorite of their songs and likely my actual favorite song. I think they'd love it and it truly is a masterpiece

[@bojangles4791]

Transition heaven,so good 👍

Yeah.. save me would be a good recommend!!!!

I once heard someone say. “I have never heard someone make a guitar cry before” and I think that is the perfect description for Synyster Gates’ style in this song. Also it just sums up how deep this song hits

[@curtiswilson3569]

When I lost my little brother suddenly, it was the things he wouldn't be a part of, and the things I couldn't say to him that haunted me the most. The permanence of the loss is what really hurts. This song is such a beautiful dedication to the Rev.

[@thrashdagnarz8103]

Sorry for your lost man , brothers are your best friends and I agree , this song is beyond beautiful

[@damonburn5273]

Sorry for your loss bro. I lost my mother pretty suddenly. It sucks but time heals. Soon you'll only remember the good times and not the pain. I wish you the best in your journey

[@jay2300_]

I jus lost my baby brother at 19 years old🙏🏼i feel your pain

[@jusmaxjust]

Literally any song they make is a banger, the lyrics are deep and you really have to search for the meaning, the musical aspect is well you're listening to one of the best drummers, guitarists, and singers in Metal.

[@mosoho]

I feel like A7X is underrated. They have some have some of my favorite drum and guitar riffs in rock.

[@DD_elta]

Would love to see your thoughts on Seize the Day and Unholy Confessions

This is an instance where the official video would’ve laid more context and brought out more emotions. Not usually an advocate for official videos, but this one hits deep. Great reaction though!

[@dexretrogamerzoid630]

@@jckdnls9292 That's your taste in music and opinion. Good best are just relative adjectives. For us he is one of the great singers. And probably the singers you considered "Amazing" or "Great" are just "Okay singer" in our book. :)

"Draining the blood out of that guitar" was the best description of Synisters playing in this song. Couldn't have said it better myself

[@ojomnesir9182]

What she said about grief near the end was absolutely true. When my best friend was killed his mom was so over taken by it that it eventually led to her suicide.. sad situation all around. Good video. 🤙

[@eyespyyourspy1328]

YES!

[@coroman267]

The music video for this song is pretty cool and it adds to the song imo

[@patriklundberg9527]

I think they watched the video but after youtube blocked it they just replaced it with a still from the video.

[@Mike55690]

This is why i love the genre so much, Heavy Metal / Rock, bands like A7X, Slipknot, they showcase so much range and diversity within their music all the while highlighting their struggles or telling of their experiences, their stories etc. It's somewhat different though within the same album in Nightmare, if you guys weren't already going too, definitely give Fiction a listen, genuinely makes you think and it was the last song Jimmy wrote for the band if i remember correctly in what Matt was saying in an interview. Regardless, amazing work as always guys !

[@WesleyAPEX]

I’ve seen both live. Slipknot twice.

[@StitchedBizkit]

Song still breaks me... My mom passed away 8 years ago and till this day this song gets me still...

[@malonerecparkwiffleleague7797]

My favorite band. Absolutely love just a photo rather than blurring it and such. Nice works, the both of you!

[@ohioboy17]

You two are probably my favorite channel. After work I wind down to your new video, and typically fall asleep to you guys reviewing something. I have a lot of mental health issues and listening to your guys’ calming voices and chill vibes are more comforting than you realize. Y’all are an adorable couple and I thank you both for being my best friends that aren’t aware I exist lol. You guys are makin gold here, keep at it!

[@EDKsurly]

You guys revitalized my love of this band.

[@trinitraveller2592]

Yes I was waiting for this one and to see lex's reaction when the guitar solo kicked in. I think you guys will love the intro of Strength of the world. Some great hits are Almost Easy, Afterlife, Crimson Day, Beast and the Harlot. The list goes on. Great review 👍

[@StolichnayaCzara]

Die of a broken heart... Yes I agree with that. It can happen. Really sad what happened to the drummer. Rev was a prolific musician and song writer. Alcoholism and an accidental overdose took him at a young age. It's heart breaking. There's a bit more to that story. There's a life lesson there but most don't really understand it. That's who this song is about. Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. This band is actually really really good. They are one of my favorite "younger bands". The song Bat country that you two reacted to isn't their best. Listen to any of these: Critical Acclaim, Hail to the King, Afterlife, Scream, Almost Easy, Brompton Cocktail (very interesting song once you read what it's about), Nightmare (I think you may have already reacted to this one but JIC) Buried Alive, Save Me... Just to name a few.

[@cozzy598]

They need to listen to fiction, the last song the rev ever wrote and sent to the band

[@philipkalin1928]

Now you have to do Fiction! So Far Away is the band's tribute to The Rev, and Fiction was the last song he wrote and considered by many to be his goodbye note. They even kept in his original vocals, and then M Shadows and Synyster Gates complements them. It really hits you hard. A7X FoREVer 🤘

My favorite! Seen them in concert, it was soo 👍

[@dreamXmurder]

Their live version at the Grammy's is phenomenal. It's my favorite version of this song. And I have to say, after The Rev died, there was some very serious talk of the band not going on after his death. I'm incredibly glad that they did. You can hear(see) in their songs even well after the fact that they will always remember him. And I love that about them.

[@Scoobay]

I’m very surprised that the chat didn’t get you to react to “a lil piece of heaven”. I think that’s the A7X track that makes for a more interesting reaction. Whether you like it or not is a different story. It’s definitely like nothing you’ve heard before.

[@dayoolyngdoh5453]

What's important in a song like this is most fans have heard the other side of the voice. Hearing this side is a nice change.

Avenged Sevenfold deserves more attention imo. Some of their tracks I think you'll both like are Roman Sky, Angels, Buried Alive, Tonight the World Dies, and Set Me Free. They have a lot of great songs, and most people might recommend others, but these I think you'll both like!

[@WesleyAPEX]

Buried Alive and Tonight the World Dies are great.

[@thetrademarkclan]

This is a tribute to their drummer who died at his home at the peak of the band popularity.

[@brianthomas1785]

He performed in Columbus,ohio with revs mom and dad in the audience with us fans. He did this song the fans had to finish it. He got so choked up he walked off stage. His girl was holding him (from seize the day). People forget his last show was here in Columbus. He calls it his second home. We had our arms wrapped around his parents and we were all swaying.
