The Rev, Fiction: “promise me you’ll never feel afraid” (written by Jimmy, sung by Matt) Matt in So Far Away: “sleep tight, i’m not afraid, the ones that we love are here with me” one of the saddest lines in this whole song
The band formed in 1999 and this song was released in 2010. Jimmy passed away on December 28th, 2009 during the demo process of the album Nightmare. The song was originally written for Synyster Gates' grandfather who had recently passed away, and his father Brian Haner Sr. recorded the acoustic parts in tribute. After The Rev passed, it became the band's goodbye to him. The video of Jimmy splashing a drink on his face was a clip from the band's All Excess DVD. A segment called Hotel Drunks. I'm glad this song resonated with you. ❤
All members of the band are actually childhood friends (although some met in high school in the late 90s). So when The Rev passed on, it wasn't just their drummer who passed away, it was one of their closest friends.
A fun fact about this video is that Synyster Gates's guitar usually has "SYN" on the fretboard. But during the solo you can see that it says "REV". Tribute to his best friend.... RIP The Rev.
If this song wasn't sad enough, please react to a lyric video for the song Fiction. It was the last song The Rev ever recorded, on vocals and piano. They kept his demo parts, which he recorded on Christmas Day 3 days before he died. It's a really moving song.
@@Abireacts love seeing it mainly because I never took the chance to react to music I just continued to listen for years but seeing someone actually react to their first time hearing it is great because I already know the parts that will be impactful on the listener.
As my account name suggests,I love everything this band has ever written,but it's only fitting that the next reaction should be Fiction. Many comments both on this video and the previous ones have explained most of the backstory,so I won't say much,but grab some tissues,a glass of water maybe,and check it out
you should react to st james too. Its more of a positive song about rev. celebrating him as this one is more of a somber remembering of him close to his death.
The Rev, Fiction:
“promise me you’ll never feel afraid”
(written by Jimmy, sung by Matt)
Matt in So Far Away:
“sleep tight, i’m not afraid, the ones that we love are here with me”
one of the saddest lines in this whole song
Also "A final song, a last request" referencing Fiction.
