    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.

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.

      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🤙

    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.

    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.

Thanks for showing us this vulnerable piece of who you are. Well done. I love your channel and I found you through ur a7X reaction journey. I'm a FAN.

    The only bad thing about this song is it is only 10 minutes and 58 seconds long.

    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.

    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.

    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...

      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

I also really love avenged and its nice to see someone connect with their music as much as I do. Thank you for all these videos, I look forward to them all the time, especially the A7X ones 🤘😝🤘

    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.

    I had the exact same reaction when I first heard this song. I'm a musician and producer myself, and I have been a huge A7x fan since their City of Evil era. The Rev inspired me to learn to play drums and when he passed, I was completely heart broken. I remember buying the album, and listen to it while feeling completely down about his death. When this song played, taking into account that it was the last one of the album (not considering the deluxe version, which includes Lost It All) I just bursted into tears! To me, as a huge fan of the guys, this is their best song. You just can feel all the emotions they were going through while making it, and specially you can feel the pain for their lost mate! I just hope I get to see it live one day! Loved your reaction, and I hope you continue to explore more of their repertoire. Big hugs to you! It is so beautiful to see someone who feels art as much as you do!

    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 😂’…

    The most honest and vulnerable reaction video I’ve ever seen. The song hit me for six first time I heard it, and I’m lucky enough to have never lost a close relative yet. I know this song will be right there for me when that time does eventually come. Moved. Subscribed!

    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.

    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.

    I know im late to this video but i just wanted to say that I've never come across a channel that breaks down songs the way you do. You let us hear it in a way we've never heard it, you go back and appreciate parts of the song without constantly talking over it. The most important part is that i believe everything you say and all of your reactions. You're not playing it up because of the camera. I can just tell that you genuinely love music.
    I saw Avenged the other night and it has relit the flame that i was worried went out after not loving their most recent records. Seeing them live made me appreciate songs that i would usually skip if they showed up on my playlist and im finally diving back into the stuff i originally didn't care for so much and I'm being way more open minded about it.
    Keep up the fantastic work on your videos and I'll keep tuning in.

  • @crossraiyne

    My first and only time seeing them they played this for the encore. It was absolutely identical to the album, not a single missed step. This song always meant so much to me (so much that it's been my theme song when I wrestle, since I started).. I had the same reaction hearing this live, front and center. This song is truly a magical experience. I do hope they play it live again some day, because it's absolutely something to behold.

    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

    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.

    I was watching your reactions of avenged for quite a few videos, and the way you break them down technically, is so interesting and quite a new thing to bring to the table for me, and definitely highlight how detailed they are on each track. I was anticipating for you to react to Save Me, and man it feels bittersweet watching you feel the song so hard. I am now a new sub of yours. Keep it going dude!

  • @justinbowen1183
    @justinbowen1183 Рік тому +2

    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.

  • @northwind115
    @northwind115 Рік тому +13

    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.
