    RIP REV. He was a powerhouse with his voice and lyrics.

    • @ericforte1867

      He was a halfway decent drummer too 😂

      halfway decent is an understatement. yes, there are better drummers that can do more technically better things, but he was still insane.@@ericforte1867

      IMHO, Brooks Wackerman - specifically on the newest album - is the first time that A7X has had another drummer who TRULY played like The Rev ❤❤

    • @noirlyric
      @noirlyric Год назад +4

      Well, yeah. They've only had 3 drummers. The Rev, Arin, and Brooks. In my opinion, Arin was pretty damn good, especially that drum fill in Not Ready to Die.@@TheDylls

    It was actually the Rev’s parents who told the band they must go on after his passing. They gave the band their blessing in Jimmys name and they are still super close with them.
    If you want to see how amazingly talented the Rev was with A7X, do any LIVE reactions from their LIVE IN LBC, that is just iconic vintage footage of them in their prime.
    This song makes me cry every time, great reaction, love A7X a lot

    Synyster Gates actually started writing this for his grandfather and when Rev (Jimmy) passed away, he changed it. I love Avenged. I understand they're not everyone's favorite but it's awesome to see them get some love. Great job guys! RIP Rev, foREVer.

  • @causewhynot284
    @causewhynot284 Год назад +35

    Synyster Gates and The Rev grew up together, I believe they met in second or third grade, and then met the rest of the members pretty much in the following years, they practically knew each other, their entire lives, and they’re all pretty much each other’s best friend

  • @tino6176
    @tino6176 Год назад +34

    You can really tell how important he was to the writing process of the band, their style changed a lot after he died. The Rev was one hell of a drummer, vocalist, lyricist and songwriter, gone too soon from this world. The albums he made with the band are still my favourites, nothing they have made after Jimmy died have come close.

  • @jodiemanthei6160

    I never got to see The Rev live. My first Avenged Sevenfold concert was around a year after he passed away. They honored him in such a lovely way by having the drumset lit with a spotlight in a darkened arena. We all miss him and his talent so much.

  • @hazardgaminghg122
    @hazardgaminghg122 3 месяца назад +3

    The solo, you can really feel and hear the emotions in it, it sounds like a cry. And The Rev was only 28 when he passed. Way too young. Rest In Peace, Jimmy. ♥️

    I got to see A7X not too long after we lost the REV it was on the nightmare tour that I saw them it was a fantastic show but halfway through you heard the whole crowd start chanting REV, REV, REV I felt so bad for the band it was a beautiful moment but I could just feel their pain. So sad.......

    God i went to go see them live a few months ago and traveled to Amsterdam from Manchester for it, even if rev had passed it was by far one of the best gigs i ever saw and I'll never regret it. The first gig i went to was KISS which will always be my favourite and a fond memory but avenged is definitely my second favourite gig and first favourite band.

  • @alliedmanticoregaming
    @alliedmanticoregaming Год назад +5

    Bro, as soon as you started the video and that first chord was strummed, I immediately felt tears welling up in my eyes! The rev was an incredible drummer (and person). It really hurts just to know he will never come back.

    If I remember correctly, The Rev passed away due to drugs and alcohol abuse. He knew he wasn’t going to live long. He turned in the song Nightmare and told M. Shadows that it was gonna be his last song. And it was. We just saw them on Tuesday and this tribute was PHENOMENAL. Definitely made us cry. I’ll send videos.

    They got me into this type of music back in 2011 when I was facing the divorce of my parents... Being a 15 years old growing up boy, it was really hard for me to be a part of that toxic divorce and there were times where i would think about taking my life but then I've heard A7x and they saved me. They probably won't see this, but from the bottom of my heart... Thank you so much!

    My sister passed away in 2007 and i used to play this when i was in a melancholic mood. She turned me on to Type O Negative and Danzig, she knew I'd like them because our tastes were so similar. We used to jam together to The Beautiful People and move on to Living Dead Girl. So when she passed like Rev (liver failure after a lot if alcohol and drug use.... she had demons for sure...Long story) I used to play this on repeat. Glad I'm not the only one who gets emotional during this song. ✌️

    Fiction from avenged sevenfold is also very emotional song which is written by THE REV, threee days after he handed that song to other band members he passed away, in that songs is mix of REV's singing and m shadows vocals so it would be great if you checked it out

    I had the privilege to see A7X when the Rev was still alive and man, what a guy he was. I remember him going around the fence to greet the fans, give hi-fives and ask if it was all okay for us waiting under the summer heat. And gosh what a beast he was at the drums. And such a great lyricist and musician. I still think about him. Love you, Jimmy.

A7X is my favourite band, and that will never change... no matter how many Spiritboxs' or Bad Omens comes along....This song is very emotional and to me, it goes hand in hand with Nightmare as a duo "in Memory" of the REV.

    The last song Jimmy wrote was called death(later changed to fiction, jimmys nickname for himself). He gave it to them and said here’s the last song for the record and he died 3 days after that. It was his goodbye

    I believe i just heard a guitar cry and no one else could do that except sinister gates RIP the REV i may have just started listening to A7X last year but his talent was unmatched in my opinion

    You should watch the live version where The Rev's parents were in the audience. It's powerful.
