The drummer and the rest of the band were best friends since they were children. There were 5 of them. They became rockstars together. Then the drummer passed away 🥺
If you watch the video back, you'll see all the scenes with the younger versions of themselves were actually all true stories about them as kids (stealing beer, Jimmy drumming on everything everywhere they went, playing Matt's (their singer) parents garage, riding bikes and knocking over trash cans). Even the shots of the band at their present age for the video of them driving around is a call back to their first behind the scenes documentary of them driving around showing fans their home town, Huntington Beach. We really didn't think they would continue after Jimmy died but they did, and this song has been a comfort to so many of us ever since. RIP Jimmy, we miss you!
The most genuent reaction i have ever seen about this song ... Thank you.... be true to you craft and everything will fall in its place ))) thank you so much.
Yes “The Rev” or Rev which was the drummer, was a dear childhood friend that unfortunately passed away too early. This is song is a tribute to him. The things the kids were doing in the video they actually did together when they were younger.
you're the first reactor I've seen who noticed that the clips in the present never show anyone playing the drums without already knowing it's a tribute to the drummer when you said that I thought "oh wow that's gonna hit her so hard when she sees the footage of the drummer" and I was not disappointed
Their earlier albums were heavier the farther back you go. When drummer died, they were finishing an album. He had written all of the drum parts, but hadn't recorded them. Avenged Sevenfold got the drummers favorite drummer to record all of his drum parts. The song Fiction was recorded by the former drummer without the bands knowledge. He gave it to them a few days before he passed away. He had an enlarged heart, and knew he wouldn't live much longer. He recorded vocals, drums, and piano. It is him singing and essentially saying goodbye. The band only added the main singers vocals to a few parts. They have since added a new drummer, who everyone agrees is a perfect fit for the band, and most fans love. They made a new album last year, please react to "Cosmic", one of the most beautiful songs they've ever made 🙏
@@MrDarkblader97He died because he combined alcohol with sleeping pills and pills for a pain he had in his chest (probably due to his enlarged heart).
@@MrDarkblader97 "You can make up a story based on emotion, while I listen to the story based on fact." 🤓☝🤓☝🤓☝Ben Shapiro headass. Emotions are cool dude. They help set us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Don't be ashamed for feeling something. lol
He went by The Rev, but his name was Jimmy Sullivan. He was known to everyone around him as a crazy yet amazing person who everybody loved. He was an amazing drummer who inspires many to this day including myself. Unfortunately he passed in December of 2009 from a drug overdose, but it was found that he also had an enlarged heart that would’ve taken his life within the coming years. FoREVer RIP
Yes, he died of an overdose, but not in the horrible way that is heard, he died by combining the pills he was taking for his heart with some pills to help him sleep and that mixed with alcohol ended up killing him
@@Gabiirev Yes it is true that pills mixed with alcohol is what killed him, but it is an unfortunate truth that he had a substance issue. This has been stated by people close to him including band members in the past. This isn’t to say that he took his life intentionally, his overdose was definitely an accident, but he had those drugs in his system because he had an addiction. I see many people come up with different theory’s on his death, it seems almost like some are in denial of his use of hard drugs.
This song is a tribute to their drummer aka their best friend Rev who has died.. if you look at the guitar and the guitar strap it says foREVer.. you should know the journey of this band first before reacting because it will make you more sadder🙂 Next Linkin Park please.. especially One More Light🤘
This song was written by the lead guitarist for his grandfather who had passed away, but then the band's drummer and everyone's best friend, The Rev, passed away so the song is dedicated to him.
You're so great, thank you for checking out my favorite band :) RIP The Rev, you got it right he passed sadly, too young aswell. Please do check out more from this band
Yeah.... I have so much to say but you are so far away... A perfect chapter laid to rest. How do I live without the ones I love. Place in time always on my mind.... Lyrics is definitely what makes a good music for me❤ Music is also a form of storytelling. I can see why you're so emotional😊
Juice wrld has many great songs if you want to check him out? He was a mix of metal/rock lyrics but rapping and singing. Lots of emotional songs people could relate to. My first time seeing your videos and I subbed!!!

Before Avenged Sevenfold The Rev(the drummer) and Synyster Gates(Lead guitar player) was in a band called Pinkly Smooth. It was basically the Avenged Sevenfold before Avenged Sevenfold. Only catch was The Rev was the lead singer in the band. and oh my.... His voice was one of a kind. They had a very unique sound. The Rev also would sing some parts in a lot of Avenged Sevenfold songs. We miss him a lot! Awesome Reaction btw! Enjoyed it thoroughly!
The drummer and the rest of the band were best friends since they were children. There were 5 of them. They became rockstars together. Then the drummer passed away 🥺
Oh my 😩🥺
Yes, they were friends. "The Rev" was also an amazing drummer
This sing...is absolutely wrecking me...I love it

It was a drug overdose not an enlarged heart. I have an enlarged heart and I'm not going to die soon lol.
@@MrDarkblader97He died because he combined alcohol with sleeping pills and pills for a pain he had in his chest (probably due to his enlarged heart).
@@Gabiirev it was suicide by overdose you can make up a story based on emotion, while I listen to the story based on fact.
