It seems like M. Shadows is speaking from multiple perspectives - his own & Rev’s. He says “you should’ve known the price of evil”, referencing revs opioid addiction. He then switches back to his own perspective of losing his dear friend; M. Shadow’s nightmare. Somewhere in there, he personifies the opioid as the “replaceable liar” as well as addiction itself. Such a badass song at first glance but it also has multiple deep meanings. Love it.
Well said I couldn't of said any better than that. I agree 110 percent on everything you said especially avenged sevenfold being your favorite band. This is the first ever band I got into when I was growing up and was little little
Most of people hate them cuz of emo look from early years and (most stupid reason) cuz Shadows singing with similar style/technic or talent idk like Hatfield from Metallica or Anselmo from Pantera- real shit O.o heard that from die hard Pantera fan who also hate Slipknot for similar he's low/small brain reasons.
those haters just didn't know about music , they r brainless. the fact is A7X is really fucking talented . Their song is really hard and they are really genius to make songs.
I’m a mother of two wonderful kids that are 13 going on 14 and 8 years old who love this band and the music that they bring . I couldn’t be more happy then that
Nightmare!

They are a wonderful and talented band and with the loss of Jimmy may he find himself with the ones he loves Jimmy follow the leader may the ROCK GODS welcome you.
+Ryan Detwiler the rev wrote all of the songs on nightmare except god hates us. Portnoy recorded them except fiction, buried alive, nightmare and save me
Yes the Reverend was a super prodigy! I have a limited edition magazine that was free in some other large rag.It tells the whole story. I think the reverend was done with his chronic pain. Might not have been accidental. And I believe the guitarist are classically trained. Waiting for some new stuff
I stil remember the day for this MV was post on youtube me and him. We are listining and watch it together. So my best friend just pass away by accident last few month. Everytime i hear this song its remind me about him
i can so relate to this song cuz my boyfriend is going thru some mental issues an seeing this video just reminds me of things but also helped me realize that this is reality an this is how it is so i accept it
Holy shit. Do they show the drum set at the end of the video because their drummer, Jimmy died and them taking him to the empty room is his nightmare because Shadows was best friends with the drummer and deeply misses him! Holy shit my guys
I'd say this is the best music video a metal band has put out this year so far. Iron Maiden's The Final Frontier and Megadeth's Right to Go Insane were great too, but this one is amazing!
I think she could have meant like being even more huge, for being the biggest modern metal band. I know they number one, I've been a fan since 03 and always told everybody they are going to be the biggest band just wait!!! But back in those days did anybody believe me? NO!!! A7X for life.
Bad dreams are keeping me awake at night. Bad dreams, I think I'm gonna turn on the light. Bad dreams, wish that they'd go away. Bad dreams, here comes the beast again!

Been a massive fan of these boys since 2008 just love them today is the anniversary of the revs death 10 years on and still miss him rip foREVer Jimmy you were the best
Yo también hace unos meses, pero me encanta sentir que estos chicos se criaron escuchando las mismas bandas que yo, e implementaron esa influencia en hermosas canciones.
Never thought I would leave the rock and roll theme.. I have listened to a few of your tunes. AWESOME, IS ALL I can say. But still don't know what category of music it is. Can you let me know.

I’m pretty sure The Rev wrote this song before he died
I love how the group is hard hitting but usually has a melodic part that shows his vocal range and actual beauty. My all time favorite band.
Well said I couldn't of said any better than that. I agree 110 percent on everything you said especially avenged sevenfold being your favorite band. This is the first ever band I got into when I was growing up and was little little
Mine too they are incredible 🎉
I really dont understand why Avenged Sevenfold gets as much hate as they do. They are a really talented group of guys.
EvilLives777 there are many different reasons but 99% of them are very stupid to hate on them for
Most of people hate them cuz of emo look from early years and (most stupid reason) cuz Shadows singing with similar style/technic or talent idk like Hatfield from Metallica or Anselmo from Pantera- real shit O.o heard that from die hard Pantera fan who also hate Slipknot for similar he's low/small brain reasons.

EvilLives777 yeah, right?
There's no point of hating A7X coz this band is talented & awesome as hell. Moreover, it's my favorite band. 😎
I’m a mother of two wonderful kids that are 13 going on 14 and 8 years old who love this band and the music that they bring . I couldn’t be more happy then that
Raising em right 🤘🖤
Nightmare! (Now your nightmare comes to life)
Dragged ya down below
Down to the devil's show
To be his guest forever
Peace of mind is less than never
Hate to twist your mind
But God ain't on your side
An old acquaintance severed
Burn the world your last endeavor
Flesh is burning
You can smell it in the air
'Cause men like you have
Such easy soul to steal (steal)
So stand in line while
They ink numbers in your head
You're now a slave
Until the end of time here
Nothing stops the madness,
Turning, haunting, yearning
Pull the trigger
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know
That you belong here, yeah
Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare
Can't wake up in a sweat
'Cause it ain't over yet
Still dancing with your demons
Victim of your own creation
Beyond the will to fight
Where all that's wrong is right
Where hate don't need a reason
Loathing self-assassination
You've been lied to
Just to rape you of your site
And now they have the nerve
To tell you how to feel (feel)
So sedated as they
Medicate your brain
And while you slowly
Go insane they tell ya
"Given with the best intentions
Help you with your complications"
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know
That you belong here, yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Oh, it's your fuckin' nightmare
Fight
Not to fail
Not to fall
Or you'll end up like the others
Die
Die again
Drenched in sin
With no respect for another
Down
Feel the fire (fire)
Feel the hate
Your pain is what we desire
Lost
Hit the wall (wall)
Watch you crawl (crawl)
Such a replaceable liar
And I know you hear their voices (calling from above)
And I know they may seem real (these signals of love)
But our life's made up of choices (some without appeal)
They took for granted your soul
And it's ours now to steal
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know
That you belong here, yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare
I love this album so much, but listening to it makes me wanna cry, because I know it's a tribute to the Rev. A7X foREVer!!!! Rock In Peace, Jimmy.
Tj Benson linda i love baby
I lost my brother and he loved this song
Just bought this album on vinyl today.
Zacky Vengeance an Sinister Gates are a nightmare team the way they shred those guitars two of the best duo guitar players if you ask me
They are a wonderful and talented band and with the loss of Jimmy may he find himself with the ones he loves Jimmy follow the leader may the ROCK GODS welcome you.
Who on listening 2024 ❤❤❤❤❤
Often
Yep
I am
저요
CO. Co
Love this album..... Nightmare one of those albums you play & never get sick of......🍑♨️🕰️
Revs kit at the end punches you right in the feels...
Even though it was Portnoy...? You can tell by the more intricate drumming fills...
+Kurt Vaughan today is the day we lost a great drummer
+Ryan Detwiler the rev wrote all of the songs on nightmare except god hates us. Portnoy recorded them except fiction, buried alive, nightmare and save me
+YellowCharizar d portnoy recorded them all except you're talking about the demo
i was talking about the demos
My love for this music and this band grows up every time I hear this song.
In menory of the rev horror shortfilm
And drum cover ruclips.net/video/9KIXMdhvUVA/видео.html
i really love how at the end it shows the revs drumset
Essa música fez parte da minha adolescência, saudades da MTV quando tinha que ficar esperando pelos clipes.
I love how during the whole Syn is like really into it. It makes me happy. foREVer
Gay
Syn's always into it.
march 2016 and avenged sevenfold will always be the best
6:00 seeing the REVs kit give me goosebumps.
As a fellow drummer I get sad, jealous, and giddy off my mind all at the same time
Yes the Reverend was a super prodigy! I have a limited edition magazine that was free in some other large rag.It tells the whole story. I think the reverend was done with his chronic pain. Might not have been accidental. And I believe the guitarist are classically trained. Waiting for some new stuff
I write songs my self and I study on other artists lyrics and avenged sevendold come up with unbelievable great lyrics that I'll never even think of
Saw them recently in CT- awesome show! High energy entire time, sounded great! Hope they come back soon, would love to see them again!!
One of the best drummers of all time RIP!!!
This song is FREAKING AWESOME .... HAIL TO AVENGED SEVENFOLD
I stil remember the day for this MV was post on youtube me and him. We are listining and watch it together.
So my best friend just pass away by accident last few month. Everytime i hear this song its remind me about him
Im sorry about that
Sorry for your loss
R.I.P
Sorry for your loss
I'm sorry for your loss
Just throw Synyster into top 100 of guitarists... Lead guitar in this song is simply pure perfection, at least for me.
Maybe #50 or #30
He's already in top 10❤
The guy is a genius
Top 10 its not even close
Top 3 bud. TOP 3 BEST.
The paradox is, after I started listening to this masterpiece song, my nightmares’ haunting came to a halt.
Still here, and kicking. This is one song, among a few others that kept me sane and calm when I felt the darkest in my head.
i can so relate to this song cuz my boyfriend is going thru some mental issues an seeing this video just reminds me of things but also helped me realize that this is reality an this is how it is so i accept it
vanessa mata What kinda Mental Issues..
vanessa mata I am going through the same thing, stay strong with your head held high
Coronavirus quarantine got me listening to this again in 2020
HJAJAJJA a mi tmb
fighting coronavirus with nightmare
Me too x)
no one cares
Me too :3
Sublime, le rythme, le clip et les paroles j'adore.
It´s so one of the best songs.I love this band
Here listeng 🤘
AVENGED SEVENFOLD e uma banda magnifica.
Holy shit. Do they show the drum set at the end of the video because their drummer, Jimmy died and them taking him to the empty room is his nightmare because Shadows was best friends with the drummer and deeply misses him! Holy shit my guys
i love Avenged sevenfold

Chad Newman My theme song for when I walk into my school.
Snake The M8 Just walking in?
Cosmic Pretzel His whole life.
I'd say this is the best music video a metal band has put out this year so far. Iron Maiden's The Final Frontier and Megadeth's Right to Go Insane were great too, but this one is amazing!
I agree! 👍
love his voice!!!!
Honestly, they are so amazing. Don’t understand the hate. I love Nightmare.
Stop... You're getting in the way of the haters. 😂
TREVOR HARRIS
Seeing rev’s kit at the end is heart breaking😢
best song in the world
me watch in 2017, from Indonesia
#Avenged Sevenfold always in my heart 😘😘
I'm living a nightmare and I love it
i can´t believe this song is 10 years old :O
liana pacsa same
OMG I'll definitely be coming to your next nearest concert
These guys are so underrated.
Latisha Loftis is dum
I think she could have meant like being even more huge, for being the biggest modern metal band. I know they number one, I've been a fan since 03 and always told everybody they are going to be the biggest band just wait!!! But back in those days did anybody believe me? NO!!! A7X for life.
I understood what you mean. They should have been on the radio, MTV.more. Awesome band. They'll play in Phoenix, AZ August 4th. Can't hardly wait.
Latisha Loftis Hug? They open for Metallica
Underrated or not. Fucking amazing band
The Rev morre e o pesadelo da banda se torna realidade. Descanse em paz Jimmy, grande homem
I love Avenged sevenfold
From Thailand
Still one hell of a song! And really sick guitar skills to top it off
Seen this band in Cincinnati. One of the best ever.

Over 50 n still love this shit
Love how theres a story in every song
I swear i have been through the real nightmare. This song and video kind of sums it up. Restraints are so inevitable.
Bad dreams are keeping me awake at night. Bad dreams, I think I'm gonna turn on the light. Bad dreams, wish that they'd go away. Bad dreams, here comes the beast again!
I freak' love this band!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

That part with Brian hitting his head on the door always gets me.
Meu deus, que música linda!! Sem dúvida uma das melhores.

M. SHADOWS, LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!
Nightmare
Now your nightmare comes to life
Dragged you down below, down to the devil's show
To be his guest forever (peace of mind is less than never)
Hate to twist your mind, but God ain't on your side
An old acquaintance severed (burn the world your last endeavor)
Flesh is burning, you can smell it in the air
'Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal (steal)
So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head
You're now a slave until the end of time here

You should've known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare
While your nightmare comes to life
Can't wake up in sweat, 'cause it ain't over yet
Still dancin' with your demons (victim of your own creation)

Same
Tengo poco de conocer a A7X, pero la verdad es que son muy buenos, esta cancion es de mis favoritas de ellos
Karla Hernandez tambien la mia
Karla Hernandez la primera canción que escuche de ellos fue la de shepherd of fire
yo recien empece hace unos 4 dias a escucharlos y ya me enamore de sus canciones.
pd: viva el metal y las galletas!
Yo también hace unos meses, pero me encanta sentir que estos chicos se criaron escuchando las mismas bandas que yo, e implementaron esa influencia en hermosas canciones.

All time fave song
Never thought I would leave the rock and roll theme.. I have listened to a few of your tunes. AWESOME, IS ALL I can say.
But still don't know what category of music it is. Can you let me know.
Alt Rock, Progressive Metal, or Nu Metal

Quarentena que fala né kkkkkk
I like how at the end it plays the beginning of welcome to the family the hey kid thing
Time Stamp?
Bruh wait Seven tears ago lmao
@@jacobforshee6032 I'm not sure but I think they mean that the drumming is slightly similar but even then it's not the exactly the same
@@sixx6676 yeah, it’s just funny that that comment was 7 years ago
A mis 58 años me tienen enganchada. Me encanta este grupo
you know portnoy is so damn good when you can tell it was him filling the drum just by listening to the songs
Fun fact: This is also an easter egg song in COD zombies. It's located in Moon. To activate it, you must earn the One Giant Leap achievement.
Man this was a fucking amazing ee tho.
This has been my favorite song since I was like 3 4
Deadgoatcrap Hill Really? It's good, but for me it's still far from my favorite. My favorite is Coming Home.
Nightmare and Hail to the King........masterpieces ☠️🤘
so, this is the legend of avenged sevenfold
