LYRICS:
I feel insane every single time
I'm asked to compromise
'Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways
And that's the way it stays
So how long did I expect
Love to outweigh ignorance?
By that look on your face
I may have forced the scale to tip
I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane (I'm not)
(mother) Come back to me, it's almost easy
(said it all) Come back again, it's almost easy
(You'll learn your lesson) Come back to me, it's almost easy
(but first you’ll fall) Come back again, it's almost easy
Shame pulses through my heart
From the things I've done to you
It's hard to face but the fact remains
That this is nothing new
I left you bound and tied
With suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin
But deep inside I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane (I'm not)
(mother) Come back to me, it's almost easy
(said it all) Come back again, it's almost easy
(You'll learn your lesson) Come back to me, it's almost easy
(but first you’ll fall) Come back again, it's almost easy
Now that I've lost you, it kills me to say
(Hurts to say)
I've tried to hold on as you've slowly slipped away
I'm losing the fight, I've treated you so wrong
Now let me make it right
(Make it all right)
I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane (I'm not)
(mother) Come back to me, it's almost easy
(said it all) Come back again, it's almost easy
(You'll learn your lesson) Come back to me, it's almost easy
(but first you’ll fall) Come back again, it's almost easy
Hearing Jimmy's voice alone still gives me chills
XxLorasch35xX absolutely. Almost easy to tear up
Yeah
You ain't lying 😔
I miss him like crazy
Too good to be trashed ♡
I'd like to see this with A little piece of heaven, that song has too many elements and it would be nice to hear every element in detail!!!
Check out the documentary they made on the self titled album, they pretty much do this with all the songs on that album. Especially a little piece of heaven, they tell the full story, it's amazing.
me too
@@win3058 this? ruclips.net/video/ie7MipmgS50/видео.html
@@NoelUnderwood that's the one!
@@win3058 right on, thanks! I just watched the whole thing, didn't know it existed!
When they played the clip of all of them singing “mother said it all.” That gave me chills.
Lil Knee Grow samee
Me as as well especially when he played then all individually
Zacky: Is that a keyboard or is that jimmy
Syn: I think that’s Jimmy
😂😂
*AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
PLEASE CHEK ALIP BA TA COVER DEAR GOD

I don't understand why Zacky don't sing more . He has a awesome voice
Ikr ! He has unique voice
Runaway best song by avenged sevenfold zacky vengeance vocals only
It's like a angel singing.
Yeah I love his vocals
@@atikaindriana992 i'm agree with you
Syn laughing cause we have to wait 2 days for it to start
Syn not insane syn not insaneee...
Because he is remembering the old good times with The Rev

Please ! Breakdown A little piece of heaven.
YES I NEED THAT
"COME HERE YOU FUCKEN BITCH"
FUCKING YES
HOW HELL YEAH
Lol the video is gonna be an hour long bc ALPOH has too many details
So glad they're featuring older songs too 😍 can't wait for this one!
hey
3:29 Matt's vocal = goosebumps
hey
INDEED!
@@SlebenGates hey
note the tuning
When the revs voice came in around 4:55 it felt like an angel just entered the room
i got chills :(
that Chelsea Grin EP pic though
they stopped it bc they were starting getting sad
P
@@Thomas-id9oy yes
You guys please breakdown Save Me !!
And please play it live ! I really think it's a better closer than Unholy Confessions.
oh fuck yes
let this have full public support
This
Yeayeayea
Rest in Peace Rev. We miss you!
Everynody misses Jimmy 😭
Im still miss him :(
😿😿
@jonathan kayina jimmy is a gates son
@jonathan kayina you make me a sad panda asking questions like this..
I really would love to see save me next
That song is insane
Dubu Dubu that’s why I would love to hear it, there’s a channel that I’ve heard a demo from save me, but it was set private
that’s my favorite song off of nightmare and definitely one of, if not my FAVORITE avenged song !
Agreed
Agree
4:56 as you can see when they hear the rev voice they are quiet, they really miss him so much and look at their faces damn MISS YOU JIMMY!!
Romy Ferrer and also at 7:45
Hey dude!!!
@@princesssynystergates204 your name tho
esajulma420 ahahahahaha. gotchu
@@princesssynystergates204 syn gets emo🥺🥺
I love how they talk about Jimmy. You can tell he was such a dear friend.
I can't imagine how they felt listening to the revs voice in these recordings.
Seeing Syn’s face in 6:49 really got me
This was very entertaining! Nice to see Syn and Zacky having a good time :)
best part is when Syn forgot about the solo xD
2:04
Syn: Well you could probably play that better than I could
This right here is why Syn is such a cool guy, eventhough he's known as one of the best guitarist of this time, he's still so damn humble. Every interview he's been in with Zacky, he always ALWAYS gives Zacky credit each and every time.
true, that makes me so happy. I think sometimes people kinda forget about zacky as he is the rhythm guitarist, but Syn makes sure that he is always included. Gates is a great dude.
If you noticed, in the music video for Afterlife, Syn points towards Zacky's part like "This guy here" when the solo hits,
@@angshumanc4473 Haha noticed that as well.
Zacky is honestly a beast too, when they play hail to the king live he even takes the main riff for a bit between Syn's solo and the bridge
syn KNOWS how hood zacky is, i respect them both
6:02 Regardless of Syn's self-criticism: the tempo integration of Almost Easy was amazing. If you listen to the riff at half speed, you can really hear Syn and Rev battle. TOO GOOD. You guys vibed so heavily that I think you filled in each others gaps. The Rev was so beautiful in his ability to range vocally and with the set. "Is that a keyboard in there or is that Jimmy?"
hey
10:00 I love how Zacky enjoys and like still can not believe how The Rev did that part of the drumming.
never gets old
I love How High M. Shadows Gets
Val??!!? Can you get the dog? It keeps running into the wall
Waste Plays I imagine that “Shadowfist” was Matt getting hit in the nuts right before singing
Andrew Pappas yeah Because I’m pretty Sure he gets into the 5th Octave Which is Really High
@Shallex it was a joke.
Yeah, his vocal range is quite impressive.
Jimmy's voice is so unique
Was*
@@marcordzmuniz7278 Nah his voice *is* so unique. It still exists in everything he ever sang on.
@@marcordzmuniz7278 IS
@@marcordzmuniz7278 is unique
@@marcordzmuniz7278 IS unique. His legacy lives on
Would love a breakdown of Sidewinder! Even better if they brought in Papa Gates to help break it down since he was featured on the song!
synysterjazmyngates honestly that song is bad ass also strength of the world would be dope
Yes
UP
Fucking love sidewinder.
Same here
Syns face as they listened to just jimmys chorus vocals.....you can tell he still misses his best friend. As do we all
That’s a good thing they should miss him
We all do my friend... We all do.
Anything with jimmy on this series you could see it hurt
FoREVer
I still remember when the news came out, I almost passed out. I was so sad. I used to live and breathe a7x back then. it fooking reaped me apart
The bridge vocals of Jimmy is my all time favorite thing and this will forever be my favorite song by them because of the way it’s written
Avenged Sevenfold - Shadow Fist
Lol
LETS GO BABYNEXTSONG
Lol
Matt sounded like he was trying to sing Judas Priest’s _Painkiller,_ but I’d listen to that song
We have a new direction!
jimmy's voice at 5:02 give us some thrilling throwback... damn..
As a band kid and all around music nerd, I love this band for being so outside of the box in terms of time signature changes, weird harmonies, and chord progressions that don’t follow the I, VI minor, IV, and V. Everything is so different but it works every time
For as much as they were laughing about it, can we stop to appreciate Matt’s range? Dude nailed that high pitch.
12 years ago. Holy shit guys, this song was released 12 years ago! Man, that is hard to even wrap my head around.
Breakdown Save me
It would be like an hour and a half long video
I'd watch that hour and a half long video...
@@marielmanuel5662 I know but it would them a long ass time to do it
Id watch that even if it lasted 24 hours. I swear
YES PLEASE
So amazing to see Jimmy old videos. You guys are amazing 🔥🌹 #oldschool
"this song was going to be in transformers the movie and then it wasn't, it transformed into not being in the movie" -zacky
Need for speed prostreet
Jerks!. (Meaning #MichaelBay)
But they used in one Movie, One of the MOST Depressing Linkin Park Songs... Ever.
(No Offence to Linkin Park, I am a Fan) But that Song makes me CRY!.
Wait when did he say this?
0:24 Not exact quoted Words. But close enough.
It was on the Revenge of the Fallen soundtrack what was supposed to be in the 2007 Transformers movie soundtrack
4:19 started as a joke leads to incredible touching experience about all of us miss the rev
6:10 Oh yes, that feeling when you try to listen closely and realize some parts are in 6/4, but it flows so naturally that you never noticed…
6/8?
@@LennoardRai more like 6/4. too slow for 6/8
@@emmywillow6599 yeah and 6/8 is usually felt in 2 sets of 3 but this is just straight 6
@@LennoardRai nah its definetly 6/4 in the starting then it converts in the end
These behind the scenes videos are so good! 🤘🏻
Little Piece Of Heaven breakdown. That song always had me wonder wtf was going through your guys minds lol
Deez Nughts that was all the Rev, man. My favorite song by A7X. I’d love to see a breakdown of it too!
ruclips.net/video/fxpNO-wx3L8/видео.html
Mauricio Garza Rodríguez thank you!
Deez Nughts they already did a breakdown of that song
They Break it down a bit in another Video.
I think it's called; "Avenged Sevenfold, A Little Piece of Heaven Commentary."
Or check My Playlist... Avenged Sevenfold: Other Stuff
Hope that helps.
RIP Rev. The greatest song writer and greatest drummer ever for Avenged Sevenfold!!
I'd say Synsyter Gates is one of my most big inspirations ever for me to play guitar.
if, somehow, they could break down I Won’t See You Tonight Part 1, then I myself would also break down
Chills bro
Or part 2
Oh snap I thought they were only doing "The Stage" album songs and "Mad Hatter". This is awesome! Almost Easy is one of my favorite tracks.
Show jimmy playing the piano more. 😥🙏
4:19 When you're a 6 year old in walmart and you can't find your mom
😂😂
Thank you for this comment 🤣
Yes
Lmao😂
Fr lmao 🤣
Who else started to cry when they heard the rev sing at 5 min
Meeeeeeeeee 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I never seen these video clips anywhere of jimmy drumming! Show more videos of jimmy drumming. There isn’t enough drum cams on Jimmy.
Daniel Ornelas Check out their Making of their self titled album. Should be on RUclips. Most of the clips in this video are in that behind the scenes. Some of my favorite A7X moments
I imagine most bands have tons of unreleased studio footage, I really want to see some from Slipknot recording their self titled or Iowa if any footage exists of course
@@Mythiqoeatsbreadladdd Slipknot has some footage of them recording at Indigo Ranch, Korn has a lot more footage of the studio though. Seems like Slipknot doesn't really like talking about the old days so I doubt we'll ever get to see in depth footage from back then
The harmonies on this song still send chills down my spine.
Brompton Cocktail next!
Aidan Lyons YES!!!
Would be cool but I doubt it. A7X doesn't even perform that song live anymore because of Jimmy's death, so I would doubt it if they broke it down. Prolly Nightmare, or Beast and the Harlot are next.
SnappyCar4 man screw that, I’m so damn sick of hearing those songs by now. They need to get back into playing the stuff that’s cool instead of just popular. They all hate playing beast and the harlot but it’s popular so they still play it at a good amount of concerts. Any real fan would gladly take a song like God Hates Us or Brompton Cocktail over one of their more generic and overplayed songs like Hail To The King
@@aidanlarose6901 They've done a breakdown of Brompton. Search up "Making of Self Titled Album", they show how they've come up with every song on that album.
Gnash then why did they do an episode for almost easy?
Honestly I fell in love with this band in the early years.
I absolutely love this album just for the fact that everyone’s voice was included, it’s such a cool thing to hear the different layers that went into all of it
I like this kind of content. Because of the old days of the video making. Especially in indonesia that the avenged sevenfold will be happy. I'll wait for the next video.😀
Breakdown episode "bromptom cocktail please" i love that song in particular the rev whisper after intro.
8:06 just remember the "danger line" song 😭
holy shit
bro that's true lol
The chords are a little different to the Danger Line outro. Almost Easy is in the key of C#min, and the chords during the bridge are C#min-E-B-G#. Danger Line is in Dmin and the chords are Bb-F-C-Dmin. It’s actually a different chord progression.
next " save me please"
A_ Feed agree
This is the best video series you guys are doing. Keep this shit coming
Do second heartbeat next!
This brings back all the memories of when this first came out and the hours I spent listening to the songs and airdrumming along 😍 Jimmy will forever be my first love and no one can ever top him on the drums ❤
I can't believe that almost 9 years have passed since Jimmy left us... FoREVer in our hearts knife master!
Please do a breakdown of Brompton Cocktail
My all-time favorite a7x song, yes please.
7:57 so nostalgic, the gone good old times :'D
We love these breakdowns, Just don't stop please!!!!!
Watching from 4:04 for the vocal breakdown, and when they sing together it's just like, WOW 😮
We really needed that. God that brought back so many memories
Oh my God... The Rev is the best.... I love you guys
You guys created the best childhood possible for so many of us. We love you.
One of the most fun videos i've seen on youtube, thank you all, fantastic
The next, "Afterlife"
Que triste debe ser ver cómo componen los temas con un amigo que no está mas, pero que glorioso como lo recuerdan ellos con alegría y felicidad, son un ejemplo
Casi se me sale una lágrima cuando veía a Jimmy we :'v
Make a new album its almost easy
Yes please
Hopefully not as bad as The Stage, was boring
@@Wolf-yh2um true
@@Wolf-yh2um Oof.
Wolf for shame, you honestly can’t appreciate the art behind The Stage?
I love all of you, so talented. Not enough credit is given. I'm 54 ,my 24 year old daughter turned me on to you a few years ago, I have to listen to you every day, you get me through. Thanks
5:05 : The Rev singing with his beautiful voice
Syn: Crazy xd
This song is a master piece. i miss the Rev
ed rage I agree with ya
I want them to play dear God and save me live
SamuKinha save me has been and dear god has not
@@stussy0530 actually,it was ;) ruclips.net/video/XetQfMo2c4I/видео.html
@@stussy0530 Dear god was performed not much but briefly in the tours of the selftitled album.
They might not do Dear god but Save me would be awesome. Love to see both tbh
it’s almost impossible to play save me live, it wouldn’t work so well than the way that it works in studio, but it would be really cool to see them doing their best to play it live
Seen another A7X breakdown video...🤩
Realized I have to wait 2 days after pressing the thumbnail.😫
I love the coordination between the band members. It makes it sound like they're a coordinated band and a group of friends just having fun doing what they love
5:30 gives me chills
I want to see "save me" or "Exist" breakdown, that's two is the longest song created by avenged
I want both
They did Save Me.
it be cool to hear critical acclaim
Breakdown M.I.A !!!!!!!
Yeah
Agree
Thank you guys for doing this
THE NEXT SEIZE THE DAY PLEASEEE
Critical acclaim, almost easy and gunslinger are the best songs by ax7 of all time.those songs have so much heart
Just glad to see the band able to smile remember and commemorate the myth the man the legend Jimmy Sullivan... No more tears just honor the brilliance ...hes looking down and happy that we are all able to remember what he did for all of us
I'm waiting for more. The rev R. I. P.!!!
A little piece of heaven
When y'all played Jimmy's voice by itself, ouuuu my heart.
Angel doesn't begin to cover the beauty that was Jimmy.
Until the end from Diamonds in the rough pls
You're asking for the impossible my friend
THE BEST EPISODE OF BREAKDOWN SERIES
What about Crossroads
I wish they would play it live. They tease the riff onstage way to much lol.
How about diamonds in the rough?
Thank you for making these breakdowns. It is so cool to see how these songs were produced!
Hearing all of them sing separately then together just shows that they were meant to be. Amazing.
Break down Blinded in Chains PUUHHLEEEAAZZEE
Or burn it down
Wow been a long time now but hearing Jimmy's voice gave me goosebumps miss u rev
Oh my God.,Syn..,why you have such a strong magnet on your body..your face, your calm smile..whyy???😌😌😌😌
DO A SOUNDING THE SEVENTH TRUMPET SONG
Damn that would change things up
Warmness On The Soul ❤
We Come Out At Night yeah \m/
@@jamiewillis8988 hell yeah, that's a good damn song!
yessss
Damn the Rev was so damn talented. Can’t imagine their music if he was still here.
Will always be one of my favorite songs!!! FoREVer ♡♡♡♡
Missing jimmy.. missing the way he gave piano stuff like that and be such amazing harmony, been a while legend ❤
Absolutamente encantado con lo que salió del estudio y la armonía grupal. año con año solo se refuerza mi admiración por el excelente trabajo que dan en cada canción, reforzando el legado para futuras generaciones.
BRING BACK THE EYELINER AND THE GOATEE, GATES !!!!!
As a long time a7x fan, hell no
well that's an opinion
He's in his mid-30's. That style can stay in the early 2000's were it belongs.
Thats shit
That was really hott tbh
Couldn't help but smile when watching all of their antics in the studio. Seemed like a big ol family that everyone just loved to be doing whatever they were doing.
