Lyrics:
Nightmare!
(Now your nightmare comes to life)
Dragged ya down below
Down to the devil's show
To be his guest forever
Peace of mind is less than never
Hate to twist your mind
But God ain't on your side
An old acquaintance severed
Burn the world your last endeavor
Flesh is burning
You can smell it in the air
Cause men like you have
Such easy soul to steal (steal)
So stand in line while
They ink numbers in your head
You're now a slave
Until the end of time here
Nothing stops the madness,
Burning, haunting, yearning
Pull the trigger
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know
That you belong here, yeah
Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare
(While your nightmare comes to life)
Can't wake up and sweat
'Cause it ain't over yet
Still dancing with your demons
Victim of your own creation
Beyond the will to fight
Where all that's wrong is right
Where hate don't need a reason
Loathing self-assassination
You've been lied to
Just to rape you of your site
And now they have the nerve
To tell you how to feel (feel)
So sedated as they
Medicate your brain
And while you slowly
Go insane they tell ya
"Given with the best intentions
help you with your complications"
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know
That you belong here, yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare
Fight
Not to fail
Not to fall
Or you'll end up like the others
Die
Die again
Drenched in sin
With no respect for another
Down
Feel the fire
Feel the hate
Your pain is what we desire
Lost
Hit the wall
Watch you crawl
Such a replaceable liar
And I know you hear their voices
Calling from above
And I know they may seem real
These signals of love
But our life's made up of choices
Some without appeal
They took for granted your soul
And it's ours now to steal
(As your nightmare comes to life)
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know
That you belong here, yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare

![Avenged Sevenfold - Hail To The King [Official Music Video]](/img/tr.png)
As a kid, i didnt notice there was no drummer in this mv. Now im 20, just now i know that this is their first mv without their beloved drummer. RIP knife masta
He was in the video he was a camera man i think he dies later
Mike Portnoy was drumming in this album as a session drummer.
@Hilal Bin Herwan Exactly. I actually just noticed for the first time the room at the beginning with the drum kit by itself. RIP Rev!
@@andleschwing2259 so true just noticed👍 guess it was their worst nightmare not having The Rev playing with em
Vid ends with empty kit. Sadness.
Johnny Christ doesn’t get enough love. He’s such a solid bassist
Guitar > bass rip davie504
@@pavelpetrov7998 imagine having a full mix without a bass. Now imagine a full mix without a rythm guitar. Now choose 🙃
Pavel Petrov who’s Davie 504?
We all hail Johnny Christ!
Praise Johnny Christ our Lord and Savior! 😌🙏
Did you guys realize the nightmare of M Shadows was seeing Rev's drums without him, at the end of the video?
oh shit, after all these years i didnt realized that
Very underrated comment
Holy fuck..
No shit Sherlock's, I've noticed that the moment the song was out
I GOT GOOSEBUMPS READING THIS HOLY SHIT!
This song is 15 years old, who still listens to this music? The drum beats of Mr. Mike Portnoy are very beautiful and full of spirit. Warm greetings from Indonesian fans....
My Playlist in 2011 :
- A7X
- Linkin Park
- SlipKnot
- Metallica
- System of Down
- Sabaton
- Power Wolf
- Muse
- The Cranberries
- Evanescence
- Disturbed
2021 : Still the same. the taste never change.
hey, where is Disturbed??
Missing disturbed and I don’t think Slipknot deserves a spot on the list. Beautiful guitar and solos and drummers but it’s sadly just all destroyed by the pointless screaming.
@@улыбкаботтичелли got it pal, we add one more Disturbed !!
@@maxarey4658 you need to listen to the lyrics and not just hear them if you think Slipknot doesn't deserve a place on everyone's list. I get that everyone has their own tastes but their music isn't just filled with pointless screaming...a need to understand the group, their evolution, what each song is about and why they're so aggressive is a must have before disregarding them...Corey's vocal talent (screaming and singing) is incredible, there are very few that can even match him...I used to hate Slipknot then my brother introduced me properly to their music...
thats was my taste 1 year ago hahahaha now i am more into trash and black metal, still listining sometimes to my old favorites
I hope all A7X fans get to see this song live. When the whole crowd shouts "IT'S YOUR F**KING NIGHTMARE".... simply awesome
All i want out of life currently is to see them live but they don't come to Canada this year
I was one of those fans on the first leg of the Hail to the King tour
I saw them when they toured with metallica in Arizona phoniex back in I believe 2017 or 18
Somebody literally just tied a rope around their neck and jumped off and they're hanging there for like 40 minutes the whole entire concert
Seen them twice and yes, it’s amazing. I can’t wait till they tour again!!
over 10 yrs ago we lost a remarkable drummer. A7X dedicated this song and the entire album to him. We miss you Jimmy, hope you're resting peacefully. we A7X fans will never forget you man. foRever
@Christopher Bingham pretty much, yea. His drums are shown at the end for a reason. They dedicated the entire album to him
@Christopher Bingham sorta. The lyrics seem to be about hell. And they are, but more specifically the hell jimmy was going through before his death. The references to his drug and alcohol abuse are found in a couple other songs like st James
RIP the Rev
Screw drugs man
ICYMI, This is the last song Jimmy played his drum before his death
I’m 49 years old and an experienced guitarist. This song is absolutely superb-the structure, the solo, and especially the harmonic lines in the solo, which I particularly love. And, of course, the way it sounds is just perfect to me.
The empty drum set at the end brought a tear to my eye. Rest in peace the rev.
EpicTroop710 I have many questions. Explain to me why? I'm not that familiar with the band
Zack Gibson the Rev was the original drummer of the band and childhood friend of Matt and Gates. He sadly took his life December 28th, 2009.
Zack Gibson they only fairly recently found a new permanent drummer. Before then. They switched between a few just to keep on with music
Riley Robertson
he died of an accidental overdose ... he also had cardiomegaly (enlarged heart) which had a huge part in his death...he knew this and always said he would never live to be 30...
bad circumstances made worse by choices...not suicide.
please do not spread things like this if you do not know them to be true
after listening to his last demo that he gave the band (Fiction) before he died, I'm not so sure
Breaks my heart whenever I see that end shot of the empty drum kit 😭😭 Simple and very powerful 😢
Can you explain the meaning i really love this song but i didn't get the meaning of the scene
@@Pixi900 it’s an homage to founding member and drummer The Rev. He cowrote a lot of songs on the album but died before the recording. the title track was the first ones to be released from the album.
He wrote all their hits, since he passed they havent had any
@ut_sportsfan uhm actually🤓 hail to the king was one of their most successful albums😏 and a different drummer recorded that album😝
After The Rev died, Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater stepped in to help them out and recorded the drums on the album and went on tour with the band. After the tour, they hired a new drummer named Arin Ilejay and recorded the Hail to the King album. They soon realized that they weren't getting along with Arin, so they reached out to Brooks Wackerman from Bad Religion and asked him if he was interested in joining. Brooks said yes, and Arin was fired, and Brooks has been in the band ever since.
I would like to wish all A7X fans a very pleasant evening
Thank you the Heavy from Team Fortress 2 video game
❤️👏
i hope all a7x fans have a cold pillow & bed for life
You too kind sir
Thanks Heavy from tf2 your my favourite charter from that game lol
I listened to this when I was a 3-year-old toddler. Now I’m 17, and I still listen to this masterpiece.
11 Year's Ago and I still listening to this masterpiece

THE DOCTORS STRAPPING ME DOWN TO TAKE MY PILLS
For those who don't know, at the beginning and at the end it shows the drums because of former drummer Jimmy who played in the band but who died in 2009 from an overdose. Beautiful tribute to him.
I agree. The video was a beautiful tribute to him. Everything was spot on, from Matt's Jimmy deathbat tattoo at the beginning to Jimmy's last drum set at the end.
@@JZJ7777 I had not noticed about the tattoo, it was even more beautiful in my eyes this tribute.
@@nayara1553 yep
Crazy to think there are people who don't know - it's ok, all I mean is that as someone who discovered A7X in my teens, with City of Evil, the news of Jimmy's death still feels like it was only yesterday, not nearly 14 years ago 💔
I did not know that. I love little tid bits c like that about the bands I love.
8 year old me walking into my parents room in the middle of the night crying: 1:01
i laughed way too hard at this XD
Thats funny
And same
I come back to this video after 4 years and this is the first comment I see l and i burst out laughing
Lmfao I laughed way to hard for this good joke
I was listening to this in class my teacher caught me and was like if you wanna listen to music play it for everyone thinking it was like pop i unplug my earbuds and all you hear is ITS YO FUCKING NIGHTMARE and i got 2 weeks detention
Really? I mean she asked what you were listening to.
Yea she's a cool teacher but kinda a bitch
I wish my teach would do this.... I would put on Marilyn Manson Fight Song
\m/
I've had that happen but I was listening to House Of The Rising Sun by 5FDP. And most of you guys should know the intro for it and that just so happened to be playing my luck
The ending is like an amazing tribute to The Rev. R.I.P. (Fun fact I'm sure you know, Mike Portnoy filled in on the song after Jimmy passed cause he was his idol)
I'm a 80's 90's rock metal guy, but the music from this band is just awesome, they deserve some credits, the only new rock I like.
Bordeath C. I am the same
Bordeath C. Fuck you
Kelvin Avitia Fuck you piece of shit!
Bordeath C. Stop fucking eachother and Listen to the rest of their music especially this album
ITS NOT FUCKIN ROCK! ITS METAL
Noone talks about it enough. The entire aesthetic of the nightmare album and this Era in general is the best A7X has ever had. They all look so awesome.
When l understand my enemy well enough to the fight him than in that moment we love him 🌹ua-cam.com/video/6IztHbiX9WI/v-deo.html
I agree. I think Nightmare is their best album by far imo
Also agree. It's where they have released their most amount of musical variability. It's like each song is a different genre form another, it gives each song a sort of identity inside the album and makes all of them unskippable. Even the removed song, Lost it all, follows this.
None of their other albums has been able to replicate this magic. It's practically the perfect tribute for The Rev (even though he contributed in 90% of it😂). They couldn't have done it better
This album out of all of them, in terms of sound, isn't my favourite, however I find that the concept, a soldier following orders without question and after many bad orders and just going through with them, being ignorant to the whole , it's just an order not my decision etc , finds himself shot in a battlefield and fading away, in the hospital, he's going in for surgery but dies in the hospital, it almost feels like he didn't even realise and things just merged into hell. I loved all of that .

i swear i forgot a7x since 2018, and i decided today to relisten all the musics and this one is the best for me by far
14 years to one of the greatest albums of the 2010's is crazy i still remember begging my dad to buy this album for me in the 8th grade. damn how time flies. We miss you jimmy foREVer.
If you're still listening to this masterpiece, you've a good taste in music.
A7X never let me down.
first time to be honest not a bad song
I saw them in Concert!
Garbage video game music.
They did release The Stage tho
Thx I know I do lol
"No one to call, everybody to fear. Your tragic fate is lookin' so clear" reminds me of detention back in the 6th grade
+Aidan Fitzpatrick lmao, ITS YOUR FUCKIN NIGHTMARE
Psych ward
😂😂 so true just get rid of the "Everybody to Fear" I would talk shit so badly
i honeslty feel the same
Sounds like freshman year
Whoever mixed this album deserves a raise. So well balanced. Would love to hire them to remaster City of Evil.

I grew up listening to this album and to see it come full circle to where my two year old metal head son is begging me to play "nightmare", "this means war" and "hail to the king" can make a metal head mother cry 🥲👩🎤❤

I couldn’t believe it either!
No, i actually came here bc my 6 yr old son requested the song by name & proceeded to sing the whole thing shortly after! #parentingdoneright

legendary piece of music
I can’t say how much this song/music video helped me when it first came out. I was a misfit high schooler and suddenly A7X became my favorite band. I’ll never forget skipping practice one morning to go buy the Nightmare CD. The nostalgia is real… I’m getting teary-eyed typing this
I remember sneaking out to the mall buying the cd and later listening to this song for the first time in my old church’s parking lot. Nostalgia is real

Ivan Miloš Best comment ever. I never thought about it.
The fact that they show drums for tiny bit sprinkled throughout the video and then eventually end up on the full drum set hits me like a ton of bricks. Miss you, Rev.
That's kinda there thing idk why but several of the songs with the rev he always finishes the song so it's fitting to see his drum set
@@Chase-jc7rx They did it as a tribute. This was the first video they released after their old drummer the Rev died. Thats why you do not see a drummer in the whole video.

Looking for this comment. 💔
I am so sad that we could not be at Rocklahoma this year. My son is and will always be your biggest and most loyal fan. I think it was 2009 when my son and his bandmates drove to St Louis for PointFest just to see your band. The boys were heartbroken because your singer had damaged his vocal chords and could not perform. Steven was in a horrific motorcycle accident a few hours after his father's funeral. He was and is an amazing shredder. We were not sure if he would be able to hold a guitar again. He is amazing on guitar in his wheelchair right now.When his right leg gets amputated, please let me know how much it would cost to have your band come to Springfield Missouri and get him up on stage with you. I can fill a venue and will pay any other expenses. I tried to send him this weekend to see you. He was not up to dealing with that kind of crowd in his wheelchair. Please let me know how I might facilitate this. 😢

Lyrics:
Nightmare
Now your nightmare comes to life
Dragged you down below, down to the devil's show
To be his guest forever (peace of mind is less than never)
Hate to twist your mind, but God ain't on your side
An old acquaintance severed (burn the world your last endeavor)
Flesh is burning, you can smell it in the air
'Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal (steal)
So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head
You're now a slave until the end of time here
Nothing stops the madness turning
Haunting, yearning, pull the trigger
You should've known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare
While your nightmare comes to life
Can't wake up in sweat, 'cause it ain't over yet
Still dancin' with your demons (victim of your own creation)
Beyond the will to fight, where all that's wrong is right
Where hate don't need a reason (loathing self-assassination)
You've been lied to just to rape you of your sight
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel)
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while you slowly go insane they tell you
Given with the best intentions
Help you with your complications
You should've known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call, everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is lookin' so clear, yeah
Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Fight (fight), not to fail (fail), not to fall (fall)
Or you'll end up like the others
Die (die), die again (die), drenched in sin (sin)
With no respect for another
Oh
Down (down), feel the fire (fire), feel the hate (hate)
Your pain is what we desire
Lost (lost), hit the wall (wall), watch you crawl (crawl)
Such a replaceable liar
And I know you hear their voices (calling from above)
And I know they may seem real (these signals of love)
But our life's made up of choices (some without appeal)
They took for granted your soul
And it's ours now to steal
As your nightmare comes to life
You should've known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call, everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare
But can you hit those solos?
Fk yeah!

R.I.P THE REV ...A7X FOREVER
As an 80s/90s metal fan who was slow to accept 2000s metal bands - this is a classic! That part from the 4:00 to 5:00 mark has to be one of the best heavy hitting anthemic parts of any song I've heard... hope to see them live in 2023!
Yeah i think the same that's crazy, a real good evolution here
I guess I met the guy who has the same taste I got. U need to give me more songs brother like this.
Probably because it's heavily inspired by Iron Maiden which started in 1980.
@@early4thegameNOWIn 1980 is released Iron Maiden's first album. Iron Maiden appeared in 1975.
Saw them Monday night in stl, it was amazing..
A master piece
I hear people complaining often that A7X isn't metal because they have a few songs that aren't totally metal. I just want to know what you guys would classify them as. I also would like to say that they may have a few songs that are different but I think just think that shows talent.
This song is metal, if you like it or not, But most of the things they are making is like hardrock/heavymetal/metalcore combined, with loads of metallica influence
Ok cool. Thanks for the input. I've been wondering for a while since this is my favorite band and it would be great to find another band with similar style.
They ARE metal. In all of my local music stores they're in the section of heavy metal
Tucker Wyzerd tbh that doesn't say anything. A7x was metal, but they went full on hard rock on the last album
TYFLOL because it was a tribute album of bands like Iron maiden, Metallica, and Ozzy.
4:51 I think that’s the best he’s ever sounded in terms of singing 🔥🔥
Its true
I love the guitar solo in this song
assassain ovrlord In every song Syn just shreds it on his parts
Mujonayurei same
So hard to play !
yeah, that run at the end when Zacky and Brian are playing together is like impossible haha
Mujonayurei so cool♡♡♡♡
Anyone 2025
One small detail I noticed is that Mike Portnoy isn't seen in either of the music videos for this album playing with the rest of the band. It symbolizes how he was a part of A7X only to temporarily fill a void that could never really be filled. Very humble of him to not want to be in the spotlight
They were so raw over Rev's death they wouldn't let him be in any of the shots. I get it. When you grow up with someone and love them so fiercely, even if it's unfair to others, it's so fucking hard to let them go.
@@___meph___4547 I think his decision to leave DT was independent of his work with A7X. Creative differences
Yeah, Mike only played for a year with the band, which was the year this song was released, 2010. He was replaced by Arin Ilejay, who was replaced by Brooks Wackerman, who’s still their drummer. Maybe they didn’t show him because of The Rev’s death. I believe it was also Mike’s choice not to be shown in the music videos out of respect since Nightmare was the tribute album.
Found this song when I was 8 years old. They became my favorite band back then. My mom always hated me listening to it, but it was just too good. Lol I’m 18 now and still love them.
Wow, really same to me, and now Im 18 too
Damn This Song Is 10 Years Old, Time Flies
how did you find it when you were 18
Lyrics
Nightmare!
(Now your nightmare comes to life)
Dragged you down below
Down to the devil's show
To be his guest forever
(Peace of mind is less than never)
Hate to twist your mind
But God ain't on your side
An old acquaintance severed
(Burn the world your last endeavour)
Flesh is burning, you can smell it in the air
'Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal (steal)
So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head
You're now a slave until the end of time
And nothing stops the madness turning
Haunting, yearning, pull the trigger
You should have known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Ooh, it's your fucking nightmare!
(While your nightmare comes to life)
Can't wake up in sweat
'Cause it ain't over yet
Still dancing with your demons
(Victim of your own creation)
Beyond the will to fight
Where all that's wrong is right
Where hate don't need a reason
(Loathing self-assassination)
You've been lied to just to rape you of your site
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while you slowly go insane they tell you
Given with the best intentions
Help you with your complications
You should have known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Ooh, it's your fucking nightmare
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Fight (fight)
Not to fail (fail)
Not to fall (fall)
Or you'll end up like the others
Die (die)
Die again (die)
Drenched in sin (sin)
With no respect for another
Oh
Down (down)
Feel the fire (fire)
Feel the hate (hate)
Your pain is what we desire
Lost (lost)
Hit the wall (wall)
Watch you crawl (crawl)
Such a replaceable liar
And I know you hear their voices
(Calling from above)
And I know they may seem real
(These signals of love)
But our life's made up from choices
(Some without appeal)
They took for granted your soul
And it's ours now to steal
(As your nightmare comes to life)
You should have known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call, everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Ooh, it's your fucking nightmare!
Thanks for the lyrics

The memories... my dad always loved this song when he passed away i started liking these kind of music
He's proud of u for sure :)
He just needs a little... no, a big piece of heaven, almost the entire heaven
Your dad had great taste in music and we'll, as been said... The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. It amazing ...the things we didn't really notice while they were here what they liked but, when their gone, you want to know everything they liked.
I like this kind of music because of my friends. My parents like 70s 80s metal music. So, i like every type of rock and metal. My favorite bands are Europe, Nirvana, GNR and A7X
@@FrenchgineerGaming nice pun, my dude
Told my best friend this was my happy song. He looked at me and said: "Dude, I don't wanna know what you listen to when your mad."

Still listening in 2025 🔥
there is NO way this is almost 11 fucking years old. That is fucking insane. I remember being young and listening to Lost It All and This Means War but how the fuck was that a decade and almost a decade ago!? my head hurts and so too will my neck
I know.
You're right, there is no way that this is almost 11 fucking hears old because it's nearly 11 fucking YEARS old.

0:00 to 0:06 - Rev Tattoo
1:23 to 1:28 - Rev's drum kit with a spider crawling on it (reference to spiders crawling on The Rev's face in the Afterlife music video)
3:16 to 3:33 - Zacky dancing with a skeleton (reference to Zacky dancing with his girlfriend in the Afterlife music video)
5:54 to 5:58 - more spiders and drums
6:00 - End - whole shot of The Rev's drum kit
side note - the 2 kids that show up through the video could be a reference to The Shining and i could have missed some other references

Me bro just finished it
I can’t get woods and Menendez playing with avenged sevenfold out of my head.
Average BO2 and A7X enjoyer💪🏻🤘😎
When i was a little kid i was scared of this song. Now it's comforting. Weird how things change so rapidly.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ikr😄
I've loved this song since I was ten. wtf made you scared, lol
@@SDN66197 I was like 5, man...
Its supposed to be a scary song bro
I got an Avenged Sevenfold shirt for my wife in a free bin at a garage sale so I looked it up to see what Avenged Sevenfold is.
Omg 😱
Better late than never superman
Now the question is, do you like it lol
Wow
@Mehdi Ben Smail You sound like the kind of guy that would call me saying "HI IM FROM WINDOWS TECH SUPPORT I SEE U HAS VIRUS ON YOUR WINDOWS COMPUTER"
I don't know how I missed this band for so long. Just started hearing them regularly on Sirius XM and now I can't get enough of their music, it's fantastic.
This song hits me hard to this day. RIP to their drummer. Never forgotten
Same, just gave me chills and sadness all over again :(
The Rev was the best, the band just wasn't the same without him.
RIP The Rev.
I heard this song then immediately downloaded their whole discography, this band is crazy.
Me too
@@chairacabrera you both are in for a wild ride, enjoy my friends
This band was #1 on myspace music for a longggggg time. Your welcome for that unknown information 💁
Is the best even for driving hehe
When l understand my enemy well enough to the fight him than in that moment we love him 🌹ua-cam.com/video/6IztHbiX9WI/v-deo.html
Anyone notice how Zacky Vengeance was dancing with a woman in afterlife and now he's dancing with a skeleton in this song. I have no idea what that means but the idea is iconic.
I personally don’t think it means anything. There’s most likely no correlation other than the idea.
This album, man this album was my high school. Rip. Literally top 5 favorite drummers. Thank you Jimmy! And thank you a7x for the memories.
this isn't jimmy
@JulianTheOwl he did write the drums though. He did it for about 60% songs on nightmare
@JulianTheOwl don't come telling me what I do and don't know homie lol get yo facts straight.
January 15th, 2021 was the day my father passed away. It was also the day I had this song on repeat. That day indeed felt like a Nightmare. This song will always resonate with me.
Shit man that’s my birthday. I feel for you.
R.I.P
Mumke know that your dad will always be with you and tells you to never give in to sadness🦧
1:42. This was my first A7X song, and when I got to this part I was absolutely blown away, my first experience with true Heavy Metal, before that it was all Liknkin Park, Three Days Grace, Papa Roach, and many other Nu Metal bands. I can't find the video where I discovered this song, it was a famous rock and metal songs video, but thanks to that video I know Avenged Sevenfold
Most metal sound linkin park made is I think is given up
Welcome to the family
Ahh, high school.. kinda miss it, oh what I’d do to be 15 again discovering all these bands and feeling like a void has been finally filled
I listened to this song in elementary school (yes, the explicit version) and I loved it. My dad and I listened to it every morning before school. I miss those times.
My neighbors love this song so much, they called the cops to jam out with us
weirdlystrange2000 You have the best neighbors of the world.
i love your neighbors
I love your neighbors with a passion
Megadeth Metalica Slayer Anthrax Volbeat Sabaton Black Sabbath Pantera and Avenged Sevenfold all great bands

He did?! I didn't know that😥
I like this band because iof carry on if only they"d replaced Jimmy with Frank woods awesome right?? God rest his soul
@@peytonparabdeen2413 yes, he died. He was so young. He died the year before this song was released and some of the visuals are tributes to him.
14 years later, still holds up.
