What they did to honor Jimmy "the rev" Sullivan with this song and video is a perfect Memorial piece. I'm sure Jimmy's family appreciated it also. Not going to lie the end always makes me cry.
Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan wasn't just their drummer, he was a childhood friend and a member of the A7X family, as well as one of the principal songwriters of the band If you noticed the guitar strap the bassist had on his bass, it read "foREVer" and Guitarist Synister Gates (the guitarist who was playing the electric guitar) had "Rev" on the fretboard of his guitar which, normally, he'd have "SYN" on the fretboard of his guitar, which suggests that he'd had that particular guitar made in tribute to Rev
@@Firan25 honestly, you're right and wrong. Stay away from that song until you've heard enough a7x to appreciate it. That song/music video has for sure scared people off.
This song helped me out during a really dark time in my life, so it holds alot of meaning to me. Avenged Sevenfold and Twiztid are the 2 groups I love the most in all the world. Some people may not understand but music can help save your life.
This is a tough song to hear from someone who has been affected by suicide. Cry every time 😪 this is an amazing and heartfelt dedication to their lifelong friend #RIPREV
"And I need ya to.. need ya to know.." Learn to tell the people you love that you love them. You never know when they will be gone. This is a great reaction to a beautiful song. Everybody has lost somebody.
"How do I live? Without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book, it's burned". That is a brilliant lyric. And he sings it softly on purpose. He sings his own harmonies. Very underrated singer. It's a flawless song. Then Syn comes in with an amazing solo. Lots of slow and sad vibrato. No fast runs. No shred. Just a solid tone. A tone that drives home a point... They wish to speak to their friend again. But .. hes so far away. Just heart wrenching sadness. Avenged Sevenfold is an underrated band of true musician's
fun fact: the rev (the drummer) has an incurable heart condition (enlarged heart) and was told that he might live until 30. he actually wrote a song called "fiction" 3 days before he passed away, in the lyrics he wrote "promise me you'll never feel afraid" like a message for the rest of the band. and in this song "so far away", they said "sleep tight, i'm not afraid" in respond to the lyrics the rev wrote for them, their way of saying "its okay brother, rest in peace, we promise we're not going to feel afraid". 😭
Hey Jamel, great reaction. Some other bangers from Avenged Sevenfold are Nightmare, Almost Easy, Bat Country, This Means War, Afterlife, Unholy Confessions, to name a few.
Good day Jamel, so many great songs made in the memory of loved ones lost. I can tell you I question whether I would still be here today a few times if it wasn't for the comfort and relatability I found in music. Great reaction once again! A couple great ones off the top of my head are P.O.D. - "Goodbye for Now", or "Beautiful" Pappa Roach - "Scars", "Forever"
Hey buddy, love THIS channel. Your reactions are on point. You have chosen some incredible music this past year. Gonna throw a 70's-80's suggestion to check out. Hall & Oats. Most of their entire catalog is Blues, R&B, Rock and Pop. Great great band and fab musicians. Long live Van Halen and Living Color. :)
Still can't watch this without crying. His family was at the studio the day they did this. The last pic where they are hugging, I have seen video of that and he says I love you guys and this is the best time in my life, maybe not exactly but close enough. Jimmy the Rev Sullivan, ♥️foREVer.♥️
Other recommendations of this great band: - Afterlife - Nightmare - A little piece of heaven - The Stage - Hail to the king - Malagueña salerosa (This is a cover of a Mexican song. I recommend you first listen to the original song)
I hope you have found peace and know that he is watching over you. People think that Hard Rock/Heavy metal is all about the Devil and such.....its about real things..I hope people see that.
@@carmelaruck7116 facts, I’m catholic and I’m glad my parents never said it was devil worshipping music, specially considering the amount of metal/metal core bands that are or started as Christian 👍🏼
If you're a fan of the band or not the love displayed between these guys is so obvious it can be emotional to watch if you've ever lost a loved one. Great video great song
My mother passed away when I was 6 months old, and that song always makes me cry like a baby as well thinking about how different my life could/would be if she were still here
This song and the whole nightmare album really really helped me , my dad passed away when I was 15 and he was my hero, this album came out not long after and it truly did get me out of some hard times, love your videos brother , please keep on keeping on 🤙🏻
I've always been a fan of this band. My son, who was only 10 when The Rev died, is also a drummer. This crushed him. Then my brother, who is ALSO a drummer passed away in 2013. This song was awesome before, but after my brothers passing, it became so much more. It came on the radio one day not long after my brother passed on the way home from work and I had to pull over and just sob. It's been almost 7 years and the song still gets to me. Thats when you know the artist has done an awesome job.
I cant even try and express how MUCH these guys changed my life. This isnt just a song for me. This is my lifeline. Itll be with me forever and so will this band. Whenever i go through something that’ll break me, these guys will be there. Always. A7x foREVer ❤️❤️❤️
Over a decade has passed since Jimmy passed and this song to this day still tears me apart man... will never forget seeing them in LBC way back when... thank you, Jimmy 💕
I've played this song so much since my brother-in-law passed in 2018 at just 18 years old. The lyric "As soon as I'm done I'll be on my way, to live eternally" gets me every time as done the end. Victim is another A7X song that I've listened to a lot.
Patiently waiting for a supertramp review , hide in your shell , sister moonshine , fools overture are all must listen to too start , love your Chanel keep em coming
U have to realize that there drummer was top 5 drummers to ever exist! He wrote many of the bands hits. An absolute insane musician! We are truly missing out on great musician with his passing. He was the heart and soul of the band.
So true about relating to vocals and relying on certain lyrics to help with the healing process. Certain parts of songs without vocals can do that for me as well. Like a particular guitar solo, Melody or arrangement. Some instrumentals are bold enough to make the statement or convey the message without lyrics. Ahh The power of music. RIP Jimmy Sullivan.
The drummers stage name was The Rev. The guitarist has the guitar for this video custom made. In the fretboard where it normally says SYN. He had them make it say REV. just for the memory of their friend
I have been binge watching your vids for the last few days to get caught up. If nobody has mentioned it yet, you might like Avenged Sevenfold's "I Won't See You Tonight". It always hits me pretty hard.
MAN every time I see this video I get choked up a bit especially right at the part where they start showing all the photos at the end, you can just feel their pain
When the drummer passed away, they were in the middle of making another album. Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater stepped in to honor the Rev, and help Avenged Sevenfold finish the album and tour that album until they could find another drummer. For a drummer like Mike Portnoy to fill-in, That alone tells you how great a drummer The Rev was. Thank you for reacting to this great song!
Hey man, New to the channel, but been watching a lot of your vids. Love your passion and real understanding for music. I love seeing people entering into new genres. I think the more we listen to more diversity of music, the more we learn of ourselves. With that said, I would ask that you look into Lindsey Stirling. She is a Violinist that has inspired me in many ways over the past decade, and i think you would really enjoy and appreciate her talent. Thanks Jamel, keep doing you man!
This song hits me in the soul. I think you would be blown away by Alter Bridge - Blackbird. That song means so much to me I have the bridge tattooed on my forearm as part of a large piece. You wouldn't regret it. Appreciate you, bro. New sub. Respect.
Perfect song so touching How hard it must be to play this at shows But they do and put up a flat and show him some love it’s a wonderful song and I believe either the only or first that the guitarist actual wrote the words for and the vocalist usually has a hat and sunglasses but here no one is doing a character it’s not an act it’s a loving tribute that hits hard man They weren’t just in a band they grew up together went to school for music together dreamed of being in a band and made it happen Syn is seriously one of my favorite guitarists he’s studied in jazz improvisation and seems like a genuinely nice dude they got a lot of crap on early albums for sloppy playing but really grew as talented artists And this album nightmare is a masterpiece
The background voice you hear is the drummer "the rev" after he passed they play the recording of his voice in all there music so his voice will always be in the band
This song is my favorite song from Avenged Sevenfold. Even though they're known for their heavier sound, they have also proven countless times that they have what it takes to go to a deeper sound and a slower sound. I really recommend you was to "Buried Alive." It was one of the last songs that Jimmy was apart of before he passed away... When I first heard this song, it nearly got me. Just that whole tribute in general nearly got me... RIP Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan...
Please listen to Almost Easy! It's one of the straight coolest songs they've made. You'll LOVE the drums on it. Their drummer basically created the song.
I had an Avenged Sevenfold cd in my car when my brother got in, sits there for a bit and goes, "hey, a lead guitarist that can actually play". That's about the best compliment I've ever heard him give, LOL.
I'm a fellow drummer who was in a band in high school and we had the privilege to play with them in the lineup at a show before they were "mainstream". Super cool dudes.
My buddy got badly hurt from crows surfing at their show in Jacksonville FL couple years ago. Some people tossed him the air and he come down on the pavement on his head and neck. He got rushed to the hospital to have surgery on the front and back of his neck.
This one always hits me in the feels. You gotta hear Bat Country by them, a tribute to Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas. Also, Almost Easy is a really good one, and The Beast And The Harlot has an epic guitar solo/duet!🤘
I love how Synyster Gates has the REV inlays on his guitar neck when it usually says SYN. Also the bass player is wearing a guitar strap that says foREVer
Otep "TRIC" She is a lyrical genius who very few people can touch on the mic. Plus she can roar with the best of them. I promise your mind will be blown from lyrics, vocals, and music.
Damn Damn Damn Jamal!!! You hitting a lot of emotions inside. My band did a similar tribute song to my father who died of Cancer in 2015. We wrote a song called Long Road Home and it was very healing but also very difficult to write but in the end I think we did the old man justice. Its a very inspiring song that I wish you or anyone can give a listen too. It has a great message in end. Lets lift everyone from darkness and believe we can move on for the better. Love the vibe you give off on this channel! God bless homie from Chicago! if you want to listen to the song go to our page and look up Long Road Home. thank you!
That montage at the end gives me chills every time. RIP Jimmy
Me too
MISS YOU REV
I get so fucking emotional whenever i listen to this song.
What they did to honor Jimmy "the rev" Sullivan with this song and video is a perfect Memorial piece. I'm sure Jimmy's family appreciated it also. Not going to lie the end always makes me cry.
That shit makes me CRY every time. It's so perfect and sad ugh im tearing up and I havent even clicked play yet what is wrong with me
The voice of an Angel. Written for their drummer who passed.
R.I.P. The Rev..
Love from the Central Valley California
We lost a great drummer. A fellow musician from the Central Valley here also. FoREVer.
559 here! RIP, Rev! Love me some A7X & a great reaction!
it was written for Syns grandfather. the video was a tribute to the Rev.
And the face of an angel.
I never cry, except when I watch this video....and I cry everytime they start showing clips of Jimmy.
You can pretend it's about anyone but him until they show him. That's when it hits all over again.
Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan wasn't just their drummer, he was a childhood friend and a member of the A7X family, as well as one of the principal songwriters of the band
If you noticed the guitar strap the bassist had on his bass, it read "foREVer" and Guitarist Synister Gates (the guitarist who was playing the electric guitar) had "Rev" on the fretboard of his guitar which, normally, he'd have "SYN" on the fretboard of his guitar, which suggests that he'd had that particular guitar made in tribute to Rev
Sys's the one who wrote the song too
@@chika6721 along with Syns father
KennyRooks ...the song was originally intended for Synisters’ uncle that passed away, but then Jimmy died, so they dedicated it to him.
Fun fact: Syn wrote every part of this song including vocals and the instrumentals.
Take your pick with 7 fold...most everything from them is gold...
just..stay away from their darker stuff *cough*Littlepieceofheaven*cough*
Firan25 that song a masterpiece imo
Sunny disposition
@@Firan25 That song is what Tim Burton wants to make if he did not have to worry about movie ratings.
@@Firan25 honestly, you're right and wrong. Stay away from that song until you've heard enough a7x to appreciate it. That song/music video has for sure scared people off.
_"your pain is gone, your hand are tied"_
that part give me chills and tears..
it's like the rev just past yesterday..
"Your pain is gone, your hands untied" but the sentiment remains
I don't think I have ever heard "it's like (someone) just passed yesterday". That sounds like such a f***ed up thing to say.
This song helped me out during a really dark time in my life, so it holds alot of meaning to me. Avenged Sevenfold and Twiztid are the 2 groups I love the most in all the world. Some people may not understand but music can help save your life.
The 45 minute ride home from my best friend's funeral was filled with song, I couldn't get off it, great reaction. R. I. P to the Rev
I have said the same statement for the past 5 years...this is the best rock ballad of all time. Powerfully emotional.
This is a tough song to hear from someone who has been affected by suicide. Cry every time 😪 this is an amazing and heartfelt dedication to their lifelong friend #RIPREV
Literally everyone who's lost anyone to an untimely death gets hit like a dump truck with this song
A7X-
The Stage
Buried Alive
Afterlife
The Wicked End
Dancing Dead
Critical Acclaim
Nightmare
A Little Piece of Heaven
...So many more, it's all 🔥🔥🔥
Save me?
Second Heartbeat > all of those
Don't forget Bat Country!
Burn it DOWN!!!!!!!
Dear God????
You have to see "Live in the LBC" from Avenged Sevenfold. Is their best concert and every song they perform is incredible
"And I need ya to.. need ya to know.." Learn to tell the people you love that you love them. You never know when they will be gone. This is a great reaction to a beautiful song. Everybody has lost somebody.
"How do I live? Without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book, it's burned".
That is a brilliant lyric.
And he sings it softly on purpose.
He sings his own harmonies.
Very underrated singer.
It's a flawless song.
Then Syn comes in with an amazing solo. Lots of slow and sad vibrato. No fast runs. No shred. Just a solid tone.
A tone that drives home a point...
They wish to speak to their friend again. But .. hes so far away.
Just heart wrenching sadness.
Avenged Sevenfold is an underrated band of true musician's
fun fact:
the rev (the drummer) has an incurable heart condition (enlarged heart) and was told that he might live until 30. he actually wrote a song called "fiction" 3 days before he passed away, in the lyrics he wrote "promise me you'll never feel afraid" like a message for the rest of the band. and in this song "so far away", they said "sleep tight, i'm not afraid" in respond to the lyrics the rev wrote for them, their way of saying "its okay brother, rest in peace, we promise we're not going to feel afraid". 😭
This song always makes me cry 😭
RIP James “The Rev” Sullivan

Good day Jamel, so many great
songs made in the memory of loved ones lost. I can tell you I question whether I would still be here today a few times if it wasn't for the comfort and relatability I found in music. Great reaction once again!
A couple great ones off the top of my head are
P.O.D. - "Goodbye for Now", or "Beautiful"
Pappa Roach - "Scars", "Forever"
🙏🏾
This one always gets me. You can see the emotion in this one,playing their hearts out for their brotha
A7x were the band that transitioned me from being a lover of metal, to a lover of music. They opened my mind, largely because of Revs drumming.
Hey buddy, love THIS channel. Your reactions are on point. You have chosen some incredible music this past year.
Gonna throw a 70's-80's suggestion to check out. Hall & Oats. Most of their entire catalog is Blues, R&B, Rock and Pop. Great great band and fab musicians.
Long live Van Halen and Living Color. :)
Avenged Sevenfold it's a great band, please react to song "Nightmare", it's heavy and different
Nice suggestion
foREVer. I feel blessed that I got to see The Rev play live at least once before he passed away, he's gone but never forgotten.
Still can't watch this without crying. His family was at the studio the day they did this. The last pic where they are hugging, I have seen video of that and he says I love you guys and this is the best time in my life, maybe not exactly but close enough. Jimmy the Rev Sullivan, ♥️foREVer.♥️

I will have to add Exist to that. Such an underrated song
No. Not little piece of heaven. He's not ready yet. Don't scare him off
Gonna scare the man off with a little piece of heaven lol
@@damonbryan7232 lol just realized you said the same thing
I’m just gonna say it.....Tonight the World Dies
We played this song at my dad’s funeral and now I can’t listen to it lol. I just came to say it’s a beautiful song.
I hope you have found peace and know that he is watching over you. People think that Hard Rock/Heavy metal is all about the Devil and such.....its about real things..I hope people see that.
Im going to play this song when that time comes for me also. I already cant listen to it. I know. Im so sorry
@@carmelaruck7116 facts, I’m catholic and I’m glad my parents never said it was devil worshipping music, specially considering the amount of metal/metal core bands that are or started as Christian 👍🏼
loved the reaction. this song helped through some really tough times. it’s an amazing band as a whole
this song makes me think of my friend who died after we got back from out 2nd deployment fom iraq in 2009.
My best friend past away 6 years ago.. Now im so sad.. I miss him forever..
If you're a fan of the band or not the love displayed between these guys is so obvious it can be emotional to watch if you've ever lost a loved one. Great video great song
Eric Clapton- Tears in Heaven. Song about his son who passed tragically and at a really young age. Listen to it.
I’d rather see a reaction to Jesselniks bit about that song.
No cover is better than Mr. Clapton doing it himself.. foh.
that is one of the very few songs that actually made me cry like a baby.
Larren Ramone Are you talking to me?
My mother passed away when I was 6 months old, and that song always makes me cry like a baby as well thinking about how different my life could/would be if she were still here
god damn man pictures of the ones you love are crazy important especially when you can't take any more you hit the nail on the head my brother
Thank you for another awesome reaction. I get tears everytime I hear that song.
I’ve loved this band for many years. And in such a harsh time I needed this video. Thank you
Thank you for featuring this song. It means a lot to so many people who have suffered losses of close friends and family. Your comments were spot on.
Driving through the childhood neighborhood remembering those days always brings a tear or 20
This video really shows what true love and great friends these guys are. This is real. When a song brings tears to my eyes, I know it's real.
This song and the whole nightmare album really really helped me , my dad passed away when I was 15 and he was my hero, this album came out not long after and it truly did get me out of some hard times, love your videos brother , please keep on keeping on 🤙🏻
Saw these guys at the riallto in tucson. Dual guitars incredible. Awesome drummer...rip.

Glad you got to A7X great group - great stage show!

Great tribute to a great drummer! RIP REV
This song makes me tear up every time. I relate to it, I had a cousin who passed away from a heroin overdose. RIP never forgotten
This song always gets me right after someone dies. I just lost a friend to drugs, listening to these kinds songs to try and get it out.
I appreciate your summary. You really mined the human element from this song. Take care. 🐺
Nice video, seen them in Biloxi MS in 08 , only time I seen Jimmy perform in person.
I felt you feeling this song! Great reaction! New subscriber!
Last solo always bring me to tears, so emotional
Rip to The Rev 🤘❤️ Love this one, and Afterlife, and Nightmare. Avenged Sevenfold is amazing.
Thumbs up before I even watched 👍👍jamal you rock
Like si también recuerdas a The Rev, su legado es eterno también para los seguidores de latinoamerica!🥁 Atte Melotomía
Such a beautiful memorial!♥️

Hey man, New to the channel, but been watching a lot of your vids. Love your passion and real understanding for music. I love seeing people entering into new genres. I think the more we listen to more diversity of music, the more we learn of ourselves.
With that said, I would ask that you look into Lindsey Stirling. She is a Violinist that has inspired me in many ways over the past decade, and i think you would really enjoy and appreciate her talent. Thanks Jamel, keep doing you man!
This song always gets me..
RIP Rev
i was searching that song with you reacting to it few days ago and am glad you did it!!!! chears from greece!!
They r my favorite band. Own every album. Good video. RIP foREVer
this inspired me to finish this song dedicated to my homie arthur. thanks man
I got goosebumps every time I listen to this song
This song hits me in the soul. I think you would be blown away by Alter Bridge - Blackbird. That song means so much to me I have the bridge tattooed on my forearm as part of a large piece. You wouldn't regret it. Appreciate you, bro. New sub. Respect.
Perfect song so touching
How hard it must be to play this at shows
But they do and put up a flat and show him some love it’s a wonderful song and I believe either the only or first that the guitarist actual wrote the words for and the vocalist usually has a hat and sunglasses but here no one is doing a character it’s not an act it’s a loving tribute that hits hard man
They weren’t just in a band they grew up together went to school for music together dreamed of being in a band and made it happen
Syn is seriously one of my favorite guitarists he’s studied in jazz improvisation and seems like a genuinely nice dude they got a lot of crap on early albums for sloppy playing but really grew as talented artists
And this album nightmare is a masterpiece
The background voice you hear is the drummer "the rev" after he passed they play the recording of his voice in all there music so his voice will always be in the band

RIP Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan...
You are a very positive person man... Im subscribing to you
Thank You🙏🏾
This song is beautiful. I would listen to it more if it didn't make me cry every time I listen to it.
Please listen to Almost Easy! It's one of the straight coolest songs they've made. You'll LOVE the drums on it. Their drummer basically created the song.
Every part of the song gives me the chills
I had an Avenged Sevenfold cd in my car when my brother got in, sits there for a bit and goes, "hey, a lead guitarist that can actually play". That's about the best compliment I've ever heard him give, LOL.
great reaction mate. im crying
"Victim" is another great song by A7X about their drummer's passing. Seriously reccomend it.
I'm a fellow drummer who was in a band in high school and we had the privilege to play with them in the lineup at a show before they were "mainstream". Super cool dudes.
👍🏾
Congratulations you just heard one of the best songs ever written
Cant wait to hear more A7X reactions! I'd love to see you react to Save Me by them, it's long but IMO some of their best work in an overall song.
This is a great band. My best friend and lead singer in our band died at the age of 29. RIP
My buddy got badly hurt from crows surfing at their show in Jacksonville FL couple years ago. Some people tossed him the air and he come down on the pavement on his head and neck. He got rushed to the hospital to have surgery on the front and back of his neck.
Nice to see some Avenged Sevenfold make the channel. Heavy song. Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold please.
Jimmy (the drummer) and Syn (the lead guitar) were the best of friends and Syn who normally didn't write the songs, wrote this one just for Jimmy.
Another song is "Gone Away" - The Offspring is my song for her
Yes, one of the most haunting and beautiful songs ever.
This one always hits me in the feels. You gotta hear Bat Country by them, a tribute to Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas. Also, Almost Easy is a really good one, and The Beast And The Harlot has an epic guitar solo/duet!🤘
I love how Synyster Gates has the REV inlays on his guitar neck when it usually says SYN. Also the bass player is wearing a guitar strap that says foREVer
Otep "TRIC"
She is a lyrical genius who very few people can touch on the mic. Plus she can roar with the best of them. I promise your mind will be blown from lyrics, vocals, and music.
Damn Damn Damn Jamal!!! You hitting a lot of emotions inside. My band did a similar tribute song to my father who died of Cancer in 2015. We wrote a song called Long Road Home and it was very healing but also very difficult to write but in the end I think we did the old man justice. Its a very inspiring song that I wish you or anyone can give a listen too. It has a great message in end. Lets lift everyone from darkness and believe we can move on for the better. Love the vibe you give off on this channel! God bless homie from Chicago! if you want to listen to the song go to our page and look up Long Road Home. thank you!
Fiction by A7X...written by "The Rev" 3 days before he died and includes his vocals. I have cried oceans listening to this song.
