Been a huge fan of A7X for 15+ years, the ReV's death crushed my sould, it felt like losing a family member. This song makes me cry everytime. Thank you for reacting to such a masterpiece.
Ugh, I can see why. I didn’t even grow up with them and this was tough to watch! Beautiful though.
Me too I found Avenged Sevenfold through the game Need For Speed: Most Wanted back in 2005 and they were my favorite band right away, and I remember seeing this video for the first time with my Sister we both just bursted into tears, even to this day it's still hard to listen to they played it Live when I saw them in September and I couldn't even sing a long to the whole thing because I just started crying too much that I couldn't speak let alone sing
The Rev was incredible
Fact: the guitar that Syn is holding does say Rev, and its the only one made.
That guitar solo sounds like the guitar is crying
I love that they recruited The Revs favorite drummer to do the drums. Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater
R.I.P. James "The Rev" Sullivan, the most talented drummer, composer and singer.
I cry every time I hear this. Saw A7X on my birthday last week. Respect and love, forver. 😢
I saw them in 2011 and still think about it lol such a good band
In Fiction Jimmy says “please don’t be afraid”
So Far Away they tell Jimmy “sleep tight I am not afraid” 💔
They were all good friends since junior high/high school and he died from an accidental overdose of prescription medication and alcohol, but also had an enlarged heart that may have had something to do with it too. I was shown Avenged Sevenfold by a friends older brother when he gave us a ride in 2007. I was _obsessed_ with them, learned to play all their music on the guitar. I still remember when Jimmy died, super sad and honestly still sad to think about. Can’t believe it’s been 14+ years since he died and that I’m almost the age he was when he died. Such a great song and amazing band. Rest in peace Jimmy, this song and especially the video still makes me wanna cry.
The REV seems like a real mate, he always made sure those around him, got a laugh, and i think he was some of the strongest glue in conneting the band, always making sure all was having a good time, besides he was a amazing drummer, and wrote some lyrics that might seemed weird, but was working R.I.P.
Yeah the videos of him at the end were so touching! So much laughing and joy between all of them.
They really did all know each other from childhood, the “past”’visuals were an accurate representation. Also I think you should know that the lyrics of this song are a response to the Rev’s last song called “Fiction” (which used to be his nickname). That song was created and sang by him as a demo and it was handed in by him as the last song of the Nightmare album 3 days before he passed away. The song is basically his good bye letter. It’s important to know that even though the Rev was living the rock star life he had a heart condition which caused him a lot of pain and would prevent him from going more than 30 years old. If you decide to listen Fiction you will hear his voice in his last days and you will hear what he tells his friends. They added Matt’s voice in some parts when they released it. It’s a hard one 💔
There's a bunch of clips in the end of this video of Jimmy playing on stage, and I'm in a bunch of those crowds. Some of them go as far back as 2006, when they played Download Festival in the UK and I went by myself as a 14 year old because I HAD to see them.
I did see them, then I met them at a meet and greet, and it was the greatest weekend of my life at the time. I got into them in 2005, saw them in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, and when I read The Rev had died in the last few days of 2009, my heart absolutely broke. I have their logo tattooed on my arm, got it in 2008.
Still miss him now, he was such a unique mind for music and so talented on the drums. R.I.P man.
That's absolutely incredible, I can't believe you're in the crowds of those videos they show! I'm glad you got to see them so many times. 🤍
RIP REV😢😖🤗 That final note from Synester is just perfect….. 💔
If you want crying more, you can heard "Fiction", that's song written by The Rev 3 day before he died, and the lyrics in this song is very very sad
The song So Far Away created by Synyster Gates is actually a song dedicated to his grandfather who died, but they agreed to be dedicated to the rev 🙏🏻
Extra hard for Syn to sing then! Wow. 🤍
@@KoalityReactions yups
Almost 14 years ago, and it still hurts and this song still get me crying. f...k
They were all childhood friends from school 🖤
Also, each of the bands kids have the middle name James
This song dropped on the day my grandfather died..love the band but it kills me everytime
RIP Rev, never forgotten! A great follow up would be his last song - Fiction
Nice reaction and rundown!
Perfect. Thanks Darrell! 🎉🎉
I miss Rev so damn much. "I tried to heal your broken heart" - The rev had a large heart, which is one of the factors in is death. It wasnt just an overdose, the large heart causes a lot of pain. The lyrics in this song are super specific.
I never knew who The Rev was when he was alive but when I got into this band at 13 years old and heard this song I just felt some kind of connection with them, and it would make me literally start crying within seconds... I'd have to turn the volume down if it came on the radio! I actually made this my profile picture at that age and, even though it's pretty cringey (I mean you can barely even see the text, sheesh!) and I definitely wouldn't use a picture like this now, I still have it today just for the sake of preserving that time 11 years ago.
Great video, my favorite part is always seeing people's reaction when they realize it's starting to play real-life clips at the end. If you want something else emotional, then definitely check out Fiction which I saw another comment mention, but if you want to see the light to this darkness - as described by the band themselves - St. James on the next album was made to celebrate his life and it's so fun and happy to listen to.
They were all childhood friends except for Johnny Christ the bassist. Just makes it so much more sad, 15 years and it still gets to me man
Johnny was one of their friends little brothers. He was younger than them by a few years and joined the band when they were a little over 20 and I think he was like 18 or so.
@@JacobC479 no way! I didn’t know that
@@Justgamingforfun879 yeah he was pretty young, they all were
Today was the day The Rev passed away (12-28-09)
I stay in Jersey the channel isles and when my mum passed away during covid times in Scotland I could not travel home for the funeral due to regulations and had to watch it via livestream and when it was finished and a few brandies I sat in my local pub and put this on the jukebox and just sat and cried my eyes out ( I was consoled by friends in bar ) . I tried singing it in karaoke but just had give up. I've seen them sing it live 3 times and looking forward to seeing them sing this in June although it will be even harder to hear this song this time as I lost my wife at the end of September to cancer ,
I'm so sorry for your losses. 🤍🤍🤍
One of my only memories from school : We were assigned to write about a hero who we looked up to, and I wrote mine about The Rev back in 2009, I was 11 at the time. Still is, and will always be one of my favorite musicians. A lot of drummers look up to and honor him even to today. He's a legend.
Every now and again I watch reactions to this song. It still gets to me. This song emulates the pain of loss so well.
R.I.P the REV..
Next song should be Fiction (the last song the REV wrote to say goodbye)
Right in the feels. R.I.P The Rev 💔
It’s also a song about acceptance. “Find a place in my mind, where you can stay, you can stay away forever…”
this music get me every single time !!!
I have been researching all things grunge for the past several weeks and downloading hundred and hundreds of songs. From ultra famous stuff (that i mostly already had aquired previously to the lesser known bands and deep cut songs that should have made it more widely known) I can give you pretty much endless suggestions on the grunge seen. And even just other stuff rock related. Regardless of rock sub genre.
Funny thing is back when grunge become big around 1991 and i was in gradeschool, i hated music back then. Now i am OBSESSED with it.
Great reaction, Jenna. Now I think your next Avenged Sevenfold reaction should be the song "Fiction".
Ooh thank you, noted!
The Rev wrote that song few days before he died@@KoalityReactions
I saw the tour just after The Rev passed with Portnoy.. and I cried when they played Fiction.
Such a beautiful tribute song and mv ❤
beautiful video ❤
I’m thankful I got to see the Rev live twice he was a beast on the drums 🤘🏻
the rev🖤 thanks for reaction 🌹
For a more uplifting song by A7X to the Rev, check out the song Saint James
Beautiful and sad song. Grazie Gorgeous Jenna
You took that a lot better than your bestie!! She bawled her eyes out while listening to this!! This is a sad song though so I can’t blame her. Amazing reaction, Koala!!
This video gets me everytime..
You are so sweet! ❤ Now I am sad too. Hugs! 🤗🤗
And please, don't stop react to metal. Type O Negative should be on your list. 💚
One of the best tribute songs out there, up there with Alice In Chains black gives way to blue. Video is just stellar too and really hits hard. Anyway nice reaction
Try react to Avenged Sevenfold The Stage
+ + +
foREVer 🤘
R.I.P The Rev 🕊🖤
next Avenged sevenfold reaction should be "A little peace of heaven".
If you followed them from back in the day you'd be crying 😢😂... Even so I'm surprised you held it together ❤ the lyrics hit hard when you know so much more
I mean, I was teary eyed and I don’t even know them. 🤷🏻♀️ Haha So it did affect me!
I'm 36 and only really got into them around 2005 and I'm gutted I never went to see them here in Scotland when the Rev was alive. The Stage album was actually my first time getting to see them and Disturbed were the support band but they're both incredible. The song The Stage is a great song and video 😊 thanks for your reply and it's the Ren reactions from a long time ago that I really enjoyed you doing.
@@alancraig782 Yeah, I can totally understand why this affected their fans so much. If I had been following them for a while, I’m sure I’d be gutted. It still made me feel so emotional because their performance (and the song) was so touching. And I’ve lost people suddenly too… so I can relate to the lyrics. I loved it. 🤍
And I still love Ren! Definitely will be doing more! Appreciate you following along and commenting. ✨
Please please pleaseeeee, react to “Red Barchetta” by RUSH, i swear you’re gonna love it and will bring a new crowd to you videos. Much love🤟🏾
I love so much your reaction to A7X ❤❤
R.I.P The Rev😢
Save Me is Part 2 it's a must reaction! plz and thanks. well done reaction as always.
I think Fiction first so she can connect the lyrics of the two songs and then Save me (which is a masterpiece).
Hey, you need to check out *Filter - Where Do We Go From Here*
It's a Great choice for the next reaction video !
foREVer
🦇💀🦇 foREVer 🦇💀🦇
Next Reaction Avenged Sevenfold seize the day 👍👍
Here's to hoping you go down a grunge rabbit hole. I just spent countless hours scouring the depths of the internet for every good grunge song ever made. From the most popular bands, to the ones a bit more low key.
I'm pretty sure 4 outta 5 of them grew up together since young teenager/preteen age. I kno matt(singer) and the rev met in catholic school so them I kno 4sure go way back.. I think Matt tells a story of how Jimmy was a year/grade above him and was the 1st kid he saw wearing band shirts and doing "hood rat" things lol.. just kids starting shit...then the other 3 came along shortly thereafter one after another. I'm almost positive Matt n rev met 1st put of the group..theres also a clip of rev playing the drums at a school talent show (which a small blink n miss bit was in this vid) and I'm pretty sure that talent show was at the catholic school they met at...I do kno that rev was a huge music nerd that rubbed off on anyone that listened, and m7ch like revs drummer idols neil peart n Mike portnoy (of rush and dream theatre, respectively) was a "leader" of the band in terms of writing and composition of most their music...revs idols come from those bands where the drummer isn't just "the drummer" rather that backbone and identity of the band! IL use a more well known example in lars ulrich of metallica...Lars is more or less the unofficial "leader" or was in the 1st half of metallicas career, and rev really looked up too those irreplaceable drummers!! There are "drummers" and there is the "franchise drummer"..one is highly expendable and the latter is not so much..u cannot replace a franchise drummer without fundamentally changing the foundation and sound of a the band...which is why ax7s sound changes so much from album to album after 2010. The only reason the nightmare album sounds as good as it does as the 1st album with the rev, was because Mike portnoy (the revs aforementioned HERO) had just left his band dream theatre and agreed to help finish that album and and do the tour cycle..portnoy didnt stay on permanently because he is the type of drummer that can cast a huge shadow over any band that isn't Dream theatre, and portnoy would be more of a distraction potentially turning them into AX7 W/Mike portnoy!! Which isn't something they wanted..they wanted a drummer that can grow and blend in with the band rather than the band being 2 seperate entities..the band and Mike portnoy lol..even tho it would have been the coolest shit ever from a fan perspective, especially fans of drummers in particular like myself lol.

React to m.i.a avenged sevenfold
From what I heard Jimmy suffered from severe stomach issues and an enlarged heart. He decided to take control of his life/death because what he had could have killed him at any moment so he took a mixture of his prescription drugs (a brompton cocktail if you will) and alcohol and committed suicide. I've been listening to them since I was a back in the early 2000s, they are my favorite band, you can tell some had a religious upbringing such as M Shadows being raised Roman Catholic based on their lyrics. They are totally Fearless with what they write and they're very intelligent.
Thank you.
@@stevefilley9765you're so welcome 😊
I've been a fan of A7X for decades now and this video is hard to watch yet.
I’ve been a fan since 2007, still remember when Jimmy died. I’ve seen this video and heard this song so many times and I still almost cried watching this video. The video is so well done.
Reaction Bring Me The Horizon please
F
Why is it that almost every band ever signed to a deal has lost a band member in year one? FAME IS NEVER FREE! (Watch "American Satan")
She didnt even shed one tear throughout this entire song 😂 lol she dont give a flying shit about this song, or the people who made this band great. She just trying to earn money off this reaction.
I don’t earn money off the reaction, actually. And I didn’t realize crying was the only way to show true emotion. To each their own. 🤷🏻♀️
What a strange comment. Grow tf up
