Extremely underrated

Better than overrated

I think the only reason it's not more popular is because it's so long. It's probably my favorite song of their's period

💯💯

Adrian FM it’s better than the shit they have now. I fucking love save me. One of the best they have

Pure nostalgic bliss

🥺

Happens again at 6:16

There's a specific way that Matt's face lights up when he talks about/remembers Jimmy, you can see it all the time once you notice it and it's wholesome AF. Even better watching videos from _before_ he passed and thinking to myself, "Hey, that's the look Matt usually has when he's talking about Jimmy, what's making him smile like that right now?" and then realizing he's looking directly at Jimmy right then. 😄

Exist is also all over the place lol

@@woodenhoe because jimmy old boy

A little piece of heaven xD

@@woodenhoe Exist is all over the universe... aparently.

The best things aren't easy

I think some bands would just embarrass themselves cause they have no where near there production level and number of tracks and textures that sevenfold work for

@@fatalvision2this is true! A7X’s music is often more complex than people give them credit for

No way this is their best song..look out at some songs off city of evil record.

@@Hzim007 I still think this is their best song to date. Yeah sure City of Evil is their greatest album in a whole, each songs is different and feels colorful, but this song still hits me so hard, especially with Jimmy's passed. Great arrangement, great lyrics, and also great drum from Jimmy's favorite drummer mr. Portnoy. All I can say this song is masterpiece and put some special place for me.

jame hetfild nah this is top song, ive literally heard everyy A7X song

As DT fans, I agree with you. I got a lot DT vibes from this song.

I can't take you seriously with that profile picture 😂

Just love that they did this song. So many people (including me) have been requesting it from the beginning. Shows what a great band this is!

Your profile pic though. Hahaha

Whatever you say, Thanos...

Lol watch out for Ant-Man

of course they are, they all grew up together

The photo in the Nightmare album 😭 rest easy, Rev, you were and STILL are very much loved.

Avenged Sevenfold isn't a band, it's a group of bestfriends playing music

He can play on Genre

ya but the person itself is a drama king lol that's why he doesn't get permanent contract with them

Very true

@@arifind5308. What kind of drama does that mean?I really don't know

@@kartomarmo2462 , beritanya simpang siur, ada yang bilang Portnoy keluar dan milih band yang lebih sibuk manggung saat itu, Ada yang bilang Portnoy ingin menggantikan the rev, Ada yang bilang Portnoy gak setia sama dream theater yang notabene band yang dia bikin, Portnoy sendiri bilang ingin membantu a7x menyelesaikan album tanpa the rev, Tapi dia juga membantu a7x tour. Nah fans dream theater gak terima dan pengen Portnoy balik ke dream theater kalo rekaman di a7x selesai, tapi dia gak balik lagi. A7x juga bingung, kalo Portnoy jadi drummer tetap, apa kata fans dream theater atau netizen? Padahal Portnoy udah pas di a7x, tapi tanpa ambil resiko tinggi, a7x merekrut drummer lain yaitu arin setelah album nightmare dan tour nightmare bersama Portnoy selesai. Tapi Portnoy gak balik lagi ke dream theater, Padahal sebenarnya dia juga udah ngisi drum di band2 lain tapi balik lagi ke dream theater.

Besides being a good friend to the band, I bet he probably felt honored being able to express/explore the musicality and mind of the rev... probably some big and very strange shaped shoes to fill but from what you hear in the album, it was definitely out of love for his friend

It's just sad that DT left him alone, replacing him with another "Mike". If that "Mike" sucks then Mike will come back, but "Mike" also doesn't suck and fits the band well.

Fathi Rizqi Ananda He left Dream Theater himself... And I don't think Manginis first name correlated to his replacing.

@@XFTFX portnoy left dream theater because they just had to many giant egos(including portnoy himself). Mangini's chemistry with the rest of dream theater, especially Petrucci and Rudess is much better than Portnoy's

Of course you're talking about Portnoy. But I find it funny that we also see Mike Elizondo, the album's producer, in this video. That Mike is a legend in his own way, check him out.

Literally the band went downhill after Rev died

​@Outcry_ They've changed, but I wouldn't say they went downhill. Nightmare and Hail to the King are both amazing records, and The Stage and Life is but a Dream are both amazing prog metal records.

@@Outcry_ They didn't, they just went forward. They probably realised their classic formula wasn't working anymore because Hail to the King was an abysmally stale and uninspired album, they just decided to let go of their metalcore, hardcore, heavy metal roots if necessary and embrace a more progressive style. Which was always within their songwriting before, it was never assumed as a general tone of any album before the Stage

@@Outcry_ you’re speaking from ignorance …. they have progressed so much while still keeping their staple sound … The Stage and LIBAD have so much Rev influence it ain’t funny and was a natural progression to where they were heading even if The Rev was still alive , if you disagree then you didn’t really know them anyway … the only blight in the catalogue is HTTK but I think the band then was truly lost without The Rev and his input

Utter rubbish

No wonder they went downhill after he died 💔

A weird mind but so fucking cool! That's why make so special his works and genius songs! R.I.P Jimmy

@@yeahbuddy666 the stage was/is still really good in my opinion, but I've always loved more proggy weird stuff

@@yeahbuddy666 Hmm going downhill? I don't think so. Their style definitely changed ever since that album, but they are not going downhill.

Well to be fair, mike portnoy is the most adaptive drummer in the world

Same here

@@xavisobrino9235 Count me in as well here.

This and All Things Will End for me

God can come in to play in lonely times!

Yes!!!

its very much like a pipe organ, ya kno?

One of the best songs EVER written

True one's recognise real masterpiece 😁

Demons is fucking amazing! I love this song so much!

Do you realized guys that diamonds in the rough songs is not available in spotify? Anyone can answers why?

Crossroads is fucking amazing too!

Crossroads!

@@afif_sz cause it was an extra cd that came with the dvd "live in the lbc" I'm thinking it was only meant to be a bonus when you bought The DVD but Matt tweeted a while ago that it isn't on Spotify for a reason🤔🤔🤔

Exactly

JustEPIC I agree! I do not understand how 4 am did not make an album? I just discovered it by having a7x on Spotify one day, and it suddenly came on. I think it is absolutely fantastic.

@@hgjeitanger they didn't even include it in their "all-songs-playlist" even the covers are in there, guess they forgot about it ._.

I've thought about those lyrics so much. It really makes you want to strengthen the bonds of your relationships

the solo is just mesmerizing, the sweeping arpeggios at the beginning are brutal, there’s no guitar cover that shows it perfectly

This song gets me nostalgic af

Lost it All was the conclusion on my CD. :)

all of their closers are total cumblast moments

Check out learning to live by Dream Theater

Jacob Sullivan yea that part killed me...

most def

He really did. It felt like the rev never left.

RmNaNtCbScRrN basically everything before he passed away he did the majority of it and even a bit of stuff after he died they used I.E. this and fiction but everything was from jimmy lyrics beat everything.

@@dedo7326 The Rev didn't do the majority of things before he died. I'm not saying he wasn't involved or something like that; I'm saying that all the members of A7X contributed a lot during their songs, but of course, The Rev had his masterpieces(In which, in fact, he did the majority), like A Little Piece of Heaven.

NUK3CY4N1D3 :v no what I was saying was most of the revs parts were don’t or at the very least a basic outline a lot of it was redrummed by mike but it was most of what the rev already did and a lot of the songs they did as a group the rev cane up with and they had to figure out how to acually make a guitar part from a drummers head.

@@dedo7326 Oh, Sorry for misunderstanding.

@@dedo7326 Not true. Jimmy died before they finished this song. They literally said in this video that his demo lasted up until the first pre-chorus and they had to figure out a chorus and the rest of the song

Nah danger line and God hates us are better but I respect your opinion

@@Scorpian-oi4xp yeahh i love em too, but its just mu favorites out of them haha

I love every single song in this album, but save me is the most.

Agreed!!!

Absolutely

Bro fr

Dude yes

Totally agree

The Dream Catcher omg agreed!

Brooks could definitely play it.

@ATG IMM Oh trust me, M. Shadows voice will be as good as new when they start touring again.

Agreed.

@@jacobmonday9795 Oh hell yes he can!🤘🏻

That just shows that hard work is worth it in the end

Yes i'd love a breakdown of Sidewinder. Easily one of my favs off CoE

God yes, I agree with all of these songs lol. It’s so fascinating and fun seeing all of this sort of behind the scenes stuff along with them looking back and discussing various things.

That's arguably their best song ever written

My favorite song ever not just by them. The classic intro, the blues verses, the hard rock chorus, the melodic solo and into the heavy metal ending half is a perfect song for some soul mixed with heavy.

@@chrisrodsa210 That's literally what Jimmy said himself.

Almost identical to Fade to black, sanitarium, one, the gay that never comes ;)

@@chrisrodsa210 bro you say that on a save me video...

Me too

So will I. If I get the chance to visit Huntington Beach one day, I’ll sure do that.

*all* of his un-used vocal tracks

He actually had some vocals in the calm breakdown of the song which is cool.

@@williamrobbs he also says the word skull at the beginning lol

@@SkateratDay15 I knew that. In the lyric book on the CD it was covered in red. So I figured that was Jimmy

Mark Saltrelli It is amazing what music can do to change peoples lives. I love reading comments like this. Best of luck to you and your father.

Except 2nd heartbeat might be a little difficult for them because they were in Hopeless records. And apparently anything made by hopeless records you will get copyrighted on the spot. Even the first 10 seconds of Unholy confessions will get anybody copyrighted

@nicoloco9974 I know. I'm confused just as well. I have a separate channel where I do Anime Music Videos and I tried a million different ways to do it with Unholy confessions. Yet I still got copyrighted on every single one. Even tried one in Drop B

@nicoloco9974 true. And I tried. It didn't work. And if you look up waking the fallen, it's all on the Hopeless records channel. I looked at all the A7X videos and there is nothing with it

@nicoloco9974 nope, hopeless record has the author rights of the song

@@williamrobbs how about most of the song when they're still in Warner Music and currently they're in Universal Music (Capitol Records)?

Critical Acclaim is AWESOME

Well they've already done critical acclaim in the dvd they released. Other than almost easy, given how much of that was written by jimmy, i doubt they'll showcase any other songs from that album since it's all pretty much documented and picked apaet already.

I'm pretty sure the episodes are all already filmed. The guys are wearing the same clothes in several of them, so they probably filmed them all in a period of a few days.

Carry on

Only 1 sec different

The rev wrote a lot of the songs on Nightmare 🤙🏼

I believe Jimmy is credited for 5/11 songs on the album from what I've seen. (Welcome...; Natural...; Tonight...; Fiction; Save Me) But I'm sure every single song on the album has something from Jimmy's mind played in it. The album as a whole is pretty much a tribute to him.

Syn has said that he would like to be able to remaster and re-release the album, but unfortunately he can't find the master tapes anywhere. Jimmy's dad has also said that that he has some unreleased Pinkly Smooth songs on CD, but the masters are lost so they can't release the songs. He says it's a shame because they're great songs.

Here's a clip of Jimmy's dad talking about the Pinkly Smooth material, describing one of the unreleased songs, and talking (a little) about what it was like being his parent. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zr-jmMtp05qwl2w.html

For me it's a second longer

BlazingE Still strange though lol

@@blazinge4207 mine too

Wow ! They release one of "unrelease song" from HTTK Set Me Free !

DAYS OF GOOD ENGLISH ARE WENT

Relax grammar nazi, English probably isn't his first language.

Im french srr 😁

Syn's NIGGAS IFFY UH

Leeroi Villamiel that wasn’t english either

I believe this song is their magnum opus. So pure and original. So much emotion.

@@Innawoods7614 agreed. They did him justice

@@bobbii makes me nostalgic when I listen to this album. So much went on for me as well in those years.

mike always is wearing jerseys xD
