This series is phenomenal!! Absolutely loving it.
Cole Rolland hi!!!! I love your channel dude u should do a cover of so far away!!!
Cole Rolland ayyyy
:)
Absolutely, he's coming here too
me too
I can't stress enough how much I love Brooks. Look at him! He is such a god-like drummer, he influenced Jimmy's work and now he's showing all of this respect for him, saying how much he enjoys playing what The Rev created because of how original and challenging it is. I mean... Dude, I freakin' hail Brooks Wackerman.
Indeed i love his work in Bad Religion a lot
Bad 4 Good was awesome too. I was really inspired by thay album.
Nah you just want in his pants cause that shiny forehead got you in trance dance monkey dance
Justin Rios
Boy he’d shit on any bullshit drummer you could even dream of. I guarantee it
I never thought I'd be happy with any drummer they got after Jimmy. But Brooks is a really cool, respectful guy and such a talented, clever drummer. I may not be as avid a follower as I was back in the day but I couldn't respect the five of them any more than I already do. Total legends.
I love that you can see how much Syn genuinely cared about Jimmy. I bet he couldn't wait to make a whole video to brag about his best friend
Syn definitely seemed interested to get the point of view of a drummer, because it really helps give the closest thing we'll get to a true insight into Jimmy's parts in this song. Syn probably was as excited for this episode as we were! Plus, yeah, Jimmy was unquestionably an amazing drummer. I can tell Syn really appreciated the respect Brooks showed Jimmy throughout this whole video. It's nice to see.
I love at like 5:48 how syn is trying to match the beat and struggling and brooks is just doing it with his fingers like no big deal
I'd love to see Brooks talking about his part in Fermi Paradox. I think those drums are so weird and challenging like an art piece in itself.
I truly hate that song, specially after hearing so much ABR, coming into that weird blast beat was... strange to say the least. So I want to see his commentary as well! :D
That’s the song that made me respect Brooks.
Tge chorus is chill as fuck with the double kick and guitar
Syn’s guitar solo in that song will always give me goosebumps no matter how many times I listen to it, literally a masterpiece
iTryLess there’s nothing that Syn can’t do.
Man, I miss The Rev :( Nice to see Brooks respect Jimmy's work so much! foREVer \m/

"You can correct me if I'm wrong". My God, syn was so humble asf
Gotta admit, at first I wasn't on-board with Brooks but after seeing his work on A7X as well as what Syn said at 2:35-2:37 ""He (The Rev) was influenced by you", I fully realize that Brooks is the perfect fit for this band, moving forward. On a side note, I would love it if for a future breakdown episode, they invite Portnoy to choose one song off Nightmare wherein he can talk about The Rev's demo
I think he's a great fit. Obviously he's got the chops and the drums on the stage are incredible, but all round he's a lot better fit than the last 2 drummers and I hope he stays with them.
Yes, Brooks is an awesome fit. They are a lot alike.
I'm glad they got a great drummer but I feel like they got him way too down the line, like they got Arin somebody nobody knew anything about because they wanted to be old school and get somebody no one knew about and it did nothing for them, like it was the most unnecessary move in their career we don't want Portnoy because he has a name and then years later we want to get somebody who has a better name in the music world, and then drop Arin for no reason to where he's just like "what the fuck" even though at the time I thought he wasn't a good replacement for Jimmy but still Avenged has an odd way of handling things
@@JudasPriest82 what are you even trying to say here? lol
@@jherriff don't get blitzed as shit and try to write a comment on RUclips
Keep 'em coming!
A7XEntertainment its you again
200th like!
Please breakdown the most underrated A7X song-Sidewinder!!
Right? I know a lot of people consider City of Evil studio magic but I think Sidewinder, strength of the world, the wicked end, and betrayed some extremely underrated songs. I wish they would incorporate them into the live set
Yes omg!
Yes!
NAILED IT! Agreed 100%
Fuck yeah!! That song is a masterpiece
5:57
“Bleeububaarhhhl”
“y e a”
😂😂😂
Let us all die peacefully and breakdown Fermi Paradox
Brooks and the harlot
* Papa Gates likes this comment *
I just can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣
i like that one
😂😭🤣
LOL😂
Love how Brooks talks about Jim's drumming, he respects the man
Love this series! I'd love to see Exist, Save Me, or Strength of the World.
Exist would take HOURS to do
There would be like 10 parts
They would need like 50 parts for Exist
Agreed
I'm also waiting for Save Me, nothing beats that song
I love how knowledgeable Syn is about drums!
It's so cool that The Rev still lives on through the tracks he left behind. It's like a little part of him is still here with us.
Oh my God that story about how Brooks first saw A7X and he was sitting behind Jimmy and saw how Jimmy executed the drum solo of this song is just sooooo wholesome!!!
You gotta make of Save Me.
agreed
I'd love to see that
I dont really get the obsession with "Save me". Anybody can explain why that song is so great?
@@Papada00 often hard to put into words why you like a song- whilst it's a long song, it's not too repetitive with several different sections and a wide range of dynamics, all with great riffs, singing and drumming. The whole thing is then put together so well. The thing that grabbed me the most was the beat at the start and how the kick keeps the fair complex pattern even when it goes to double time. Also like the lyrics. My brother wasn't fussed about the track at first but now he rates it, so possibly a grower for some. There you are - put into words badly.
Save Me >>> Exist
Dude I was just thinking,
Imagine if it was Jimmy breaking it all down for us... 😢😖
Also if it was Jimmy and Brian breaking it down, shit would’ve been funny as hell 😂🤣 but Huuuge respect and props to Brooks for helping break it down and helping out these guys, 🤟🏼 foREVer
I always loved The Rev's foot work, so dynamic and controlled very furious.
I love that the first 4 tracks of City of Evil slide right into each other. The gap-less playback makes it so great.
Pumped for this jimmy is why I started drumming. Absolutely blown away by his skills.
Absolutely awesome I never actually realized that the solo was polyrhythmic. Fascinating because I actually focus so much on polyrhythmic relationships in my drumming. And of course I would be excited to here more about his drumming.
kurt Rosenthal Syn is why I started playing electric guitar (although it’s been a very long time since I played). I heard his solo in Bat Country and I fell in love.
Facts same! So awkward and brilliant!!!
I’m always blown away by his skills too. Every time I listen to a song that he did drums for, I’m amazed.
I wish they would do a whole album breakdown of City of Evil. There are probably so many hidden gems throughout each song! Easily one of the best drumming albums ever. RIP the Rev!
Jimmy was just a mad fucking genius! To hear the admiration that Brooks has for Jimmy, is just warming.
Now we need a video of brooks breaking down the drum fills and playing them slowly so everyone can learn them 😵
this needs to happen !
Why? It's not like they're as difficult at to dedicate them a video
@@DankoHidalgo it would be cool to hear what Brooks has to say about Jimmy's drumming.
Imagine if the rev kept evolving as a drummer up to today
He'd be mentioned with Buddy Rich if he were still alive and progressing to this day
His progressions and contributions as far as they go are already legendary. He was an amazingly talented and creative drummer and musician. Of course there is always the "what could have been?" I believe he made more of a mark on this world than most drummers throughout history. The technology world has and will continue to exponentially grow his work.
he would be at Brooks' level. maybe even surpassing it
@@tatianagois7291 he was better than Brooks lol. Brooks fucked up many a7x songs while performing them
@@prodbyecho_ Bruh what Brooks is much better than the Rev
This is why The Rev is my favorite drummer. Very unique style. Miss him so much
Brooks solo in Tyre Kickin by Bad 4 Good was also insane. Especially considering he was like 13 when he recorded it.
If anybody had to take over for the great Rev, I'm glad it was Brooks. He's phenomenal with them.
Man this episode kinda puts a "magnifying glass/ lens" into drum parts which NOW it's possible to appreciate even MORE, because we KNOW the STRUCTURE and TECHNIQUES behind it !!! THANKS GUYS !!!
I come in to these videos and every time i learn multiple new things, I appreciate guys really big fan!
What a pleasure seeing these breakdowns! Thanks for making these videos!
Brooks is one of those people that don't say a lot, but when they do, everyone listens.
I love this series and loved this video so so much. Thanks a lot to all of you and to Brooks for breaking this down.
I’d love to see a breakdown of MIA. Really underrated song.
Lol
Right with yah! I LOVE That song, they managed to take the obvious Maiden influence and turn it into obvious A7x awesomeness
Yes! I love MIA!
Absolutely love this series it brings out all the unnoticeable parts in your music!
2006, I was 10. Saw Beast and The Harlot on RUclips. Jimmy made me a drummer and musician instantly. Great song and the drums are a mix of all genres I love. Punk, black metal and rock n roll, all in one.
It's also the day I was introduced to metal. \m/
I always love these videos! Thanks for sharing, you guys!
I'm not even a drummer but the drums for this song are my absolute favorite
I can't imagine how proud and honoured Jimmy would be to see and hear Brooks talking incredible high of him ❤ As Syn said, Brooks was a big influence on Jimmy, to see his face with amazement just shows the talent of The Rev! I'm so happy that Brooks can be in this band now! They got their sound back 😊 Still to this day can't get over his passing, one of those losses that we will never get over ❤ This is incredible and I would love to hear a breakdown on so much more of his work 😊
This song has different styles, It sounds not too metal but It has a metal attitude and a gothic kind of feel, One of brilliant work!
I love Brooks smile while listening to those drum parts!
I’m loving all of this breakdown content. If you’re ever up for it, I’d be totally happy to buy a compilation of all these on hard copy.
I love Brooks Wackerman, he’s so good and extremly knowledgable.
Fantastic break down videos! City was my first A7x album after getting Bat Country stuck in my head from flippin Dodge commercials lol. I put the cd in, and heard the intro to Beast and the Harlot for the first time, and it legit scared me! Now, it is still my very favorite A7x song, if not my favorite song from anybody!
I didn't know Brooks and The Rev had a connection before like being fans of each other until this video. Is there more on it?
Great I m waiting 2 episodes for this ! Amazing,Rev is a legend!
4:48 the most freeform jazz metal solo EVER!!! Especially at .5x
6:07 Brooks is giving Syn SERIOUS "fuck me" eyes
Bro, WHAT💀
I've been waiting for this episode. Awesome.
Love to see old a7x stuff again, and feels great to see Jimmy again, feels like he's still with us again :)
These are awesome! Love seeing old footage of the Rev 💯
Jimmy was a backstreet boys fan? I love him even more now. Hahaha! Lots of love from Pakistan.
yeah bro... hell💖 love from india
oakteeth buckshart fucking dick 😂😂😂😂😂
Brooks seems like such a calm relaxed dude to be around. He's so calm and yet so professional and so intuitive with what he says I could probably ask him about music for days and not get bored. Him and Brian are a perfect guitar and drummer relationship/combination.
Save Me, The Wicked End, or Sidewinder would be awesome to see, I love this series so far
The Wicked End would be great. Still wish I could learn that solo lol
I love how Jimmy busted his ass for them he didn’t care how much pain he was in he kept going and playing harder and more quicker he’s the one who made them who they are now without his skills and his pushing they’d never be where they are today blessed to say Jimmy was always working hard and helping them as well I love him for everything he has done and did for them foREVer
Those combinations of 4 on the snare and kick drum are insane at that tempo. You have to do it PERFECTLY or it will sound awful. So amazing!
thankyou Syn for appreciating so many little details on the drums
that snare is tight! stands out in the mix
I love the snare sound of this whole album
I love the wooden snare sound on this album so much, especially combined with the tone of the kick drums
Thank you so much for this...do more Rev breakdowns plz...The Rev is the greatest drummer ever...so amazing and missed so much
Let Johnny talk about his favorite bass riffs.
Satisfy us bass playersssss
i guess that would be burn it down solo, or scream
I’m so gifted to have seen jimmy live at warped tour 07...long live the king.
man im going to cry everytime i watch this.... thanks Jimmy for being such a big influence on me. i would of never been the drummer i am today if it wasnt for your influence. rest in peace music brother!
I miss the old sound, I loved it so much T_T these breakdowns are fantastic
A7X members are the most authentic and genuine men in the business. Learning a lot from this series. Hopefully, I'll produce an album one day.
SAVE ME!
*whispering:*
no.
@@IvanIvanov-qx5oz too late, they did, it's a great song.
Awesome! I'm loving this series!
My absolute favorite session of magic within Avenged Sevenfold is back in 2009, when they were playing live in St. Louis and Syn did a 3 part solo.
The first two parts were just some sick riffs, but the third part...that is where the magic happened.
The solo started out, haunting and beautiful with a mellow and hypnotic trance-like feel to it, then, it reached higher notes before descending back down its musical slope until, out of nowhere, the Rev picked up on it and immediately started playing alongside Syn with an energy very similar to Beast And The Harlot, kind of all over the place, a little rough, but it fit so fucking well.
It was about a minute and a half or so of beautiful bliss transcending into pure unadulterated metal insanity.
It blows my mind every time I hear it.
"A Little Piece of Heaven" or their cover of "Wish You Were Here" would be awesome
yeahh bro... hell💖 love from india
Wish You Were Here wasn't even their song. It was a cover of a Pink Floyd song what more could you say about it really when you probably could see a video of Pink Floyd talking about it. It would probably be a short video.
@@mrslippyfist9155 I know who it was originally by, Pink Floyd is one of my favourite bands. I'm just saying it'd be interesting to hear them talk about why they wanted to cover it
Andrew Pappas That would be cooled, but it is a fairly simple song. The intro solo would be the most complex part.
I would love to see more of this stuff! Really shows how technically clever Brooks is!
Amazing content guys! Thanks so much!
2:03 3:28 Syn beatboxing lmaoo. ❤️
I love it! Brooks is awesome! Probably one of the best A7x drum groove! #forever
Nice pick brooks! We please need more Clips/videos of jimmy drumming! Jimmy was Backstreet Boys fan...! Simply amazing! 😂
Forever he will be my fav drummer. Props to Brooks, he's an absolute monster and you can tell he studied the crap out of Jimmy's work!
Love this and love brooks couldn’t ask for a better dude to play drums in this fuckin amazing band
RIP Jimmy, pure legend! I can't wait to try playing some of his golden beats again in the future after an insane amount of practice!! Such an insanely tasteful drummer 🍻
I've always love and respected jimmy, but as a guitar player, starting to learn how to play drums, this dissection blew my mind! Great job 🤘
Keep them COMING!
Try to not cry Challenge.
Omg I really love you guys💓
Chapter 4 breaking down . ^___^
Love this stuff. Many thanks.
Am I the only one who would love to see Brooks have his own series where he dissects Jimmy's drum parts for all the old songs, and teaches how to play the more intricate parts?? Brooks seems like he fully understands jimmy's intricacies behind the kit, and I know there's a lot of drummers who would want to know how to play like the rev. Just a thought, but it'd be cool to see happen.
Been waiting for something like this for 15 years...
My god never stop these pls
Brooks is such a class act.
I would love to see Warmness On The Soul, To End The Rapture from Sounding The Seventh Trumpet and I won't see you tonight parts 1&2 from Waking the Fallen
never going happen. maybe ch. 4 or unholy confusion but nothing else before that.
I wanna see Turn The Other Way...
Warmness On The Soul was my first dance at my wedding ❤️
@@undeadfbgew i would use that too and then I'd play the rest of the sounding the seventh trumpet album too
Matt said on instagram that they cant find the tapes for Sounding The Seventh Trumpet but the plan is to break down all songs eventually
Think they were friends from high school ... how far they came!
love you guys.
this series is incredible!! i wish every band did this!
Damn you guys have been my favorite band since I was 11
Would love a Trashed & Scattered breakdown love that song so much❤️
LONG LIVE JIMMY 🦇 ❤️
Just keep this series up! Can't wait for a 45 minute episode on Exist
Seize the Day breakdown would be the best (my favorite song)
love how Gates just lets the guitar n bass lines just run, and monitors Brooks face for signs of annoyance;) lol
As a fan, not getting to know him as a friend or brother like the band did, my greatest sadness in losing the rev is that he was a truly perfect drummer, and I believe we can only count on one hand at max the perfect, zero-holes-skilled drummers in the industry today. His music will stand for centuries as a testament to his mastery of not just speed but songwriting and dexterous technique
Espetacular ! 🤘🏻
It cracks me up where Brooks n Sun were right there in Scyn with Jimmy!!! The fact that his influence will never leave all that is A7X shows Jimmy will continuously ‘Carry On’ is mind blowing in its own!!! I know that I’m not part of the band, but I will never stop feeling he has a hand in all that is A7X today till the end!!! Idk how that man does it, but The Rev never died, he is still here!!! Love you Rev n I love you guys as much!!! Keep kickin ass!!!
