Fun fact; the “Skull” part at the beginning was the last usable vocal from The Rev before he unfortunately passed away ❤

SOMEBODY GIVE THIS MAN A HUG!!! 😢

Save me is a masterpiece song. It’s just a shame they don’t play it live anymore. M. Shadows made a comment a couple years back that it’s such a long song and hard to perform. Fiction would make you cry because it’s the last song from the REV!! 🖤💙🖤

I'm 43. I found out my oldest son had a rare brain tumor when he was 15. This album helped me in so many ways processing my emotions while also mentally going through the exercise of burying him. I cry every almost everytime I hear Save Me, Victim, or So Far Away. My son is still alive but there are no promises as to when it will be over, so I live and love him like Seize the Day. Now I'm fucking crying writing this:( I love A7x because they just get it.

This song broke me when I first heard it. Can't even imagine losing a best friend and trying to figure out how in the hell to move on from it. "Tonight we all die young....".

Dude you're such an important person in this community, for real! I can tell you're a really sensitive listener and the focus you make on those really subtle nuances they make such as production stuff (panning, timbre) or storytelling stuff is really entertaining to watch and I feel like I can learn alot. Thank u very much bro.

Damn you making me cry over here on my lunch break at work lol Such a powerful, emotional song. One of their best songs without a doubt.

"I can see the pictures clear as yesterday. Pictures all my own. I can hear the voices begging you to stay; but know you're not alone" Knowinging all these people with depression and some who take their own lives makes this album hit so deep on a lot of tracks

Please do the ENTIRE album, every single track is an absolute banger. Especially Buried Alive.

According to Spotify, I have listened to this song over 7000 times. I don't think there's a single time I have listened that it hasn't emotionally crushed me. A work of art. R.I.P James "The Rev" Sullivan

Favorite Avenged Sevenfold song. It has everything you can ask for. Hits harder now a days since my mom is gone. This song just embodies everything that A7X is and it has the last bits of The Rev’s writing as well. Always going to be my favorite A7X song.

When I first heard the news when this album was being made and it was announced that Mike Portnoy would be playing drums on the album, I immediately knew that this album was going to be a banger because of how much the Rev idolizes Portnoy. Hearing this song specifically, you can hear Portnoy all over it. Even though this song never became a hit, this is probably one of the best Avenged Sevenfold songs ever written so far.

Their best song ever. Hands down.

Hands down, this is the best Avenged Sevenfold song ever in my opinion. There's not a single one that had made me feel all kinds of emotions just like this one. Thanks for this reacton man, ur the bestest.

Best reaction I’ve ever seen. I don’t know much about production but I love feeling A7X songs, the way that the band tries to share their feelings through music it’s very unique. Also, it is very touching how you went far over this song! Such an amazing reaction!

Bro, I adore people that give this song love. It’s that good. Side note, Mike Portnoy gave this album, and especially this song, justice. RIP Rev

Insanely cool fact about this song, the ending "tonight we all die young-" is the unfinished original chorus of the Song, written by Jimmy. Which explains why then lyrics are the way they are. You may see in some demo tapes of other avenged songs, that in order to get the feel of how the vocals should sound and be sung, Jimmy would just repeat the main phrase used in that part, because no other lyrics were written. If you want an example of what I mean, look up "lost it all with the rev singing". You'll hear him sing the bridge mid way through, only using the lyrics "theres something in your eyes." And other mumbled words. It's so beautiful to see the band still put in his chorus as the ending even after they had to make a new one.

I knew it, this the best Song ever. that combine of drum, guitar, vocal and whatever that shit, its so fckin perfect.

Holy Jesus, that was the most powerful reaction I'ver ever seen. So glad that you chose A7X to react, there's an universe to discover, just don't stop ♥

I can hear the voices begging you to stay -- But know you're not alone...

I feel like this would have changed your life if you would have heard it when it was released lol. This whole album was such an experience. The pure emotion you can feel from the band in every song is unmatched. Buried Alive & Victim are also great ones...

I'm so glad you chose to continue the Avenged journey. There are so many songs for you to be surprised and fall in love with. The way you feel, explain and react complete the perfect combination. Looking forward to more. ❤

Ur face at 16:10 :( .. We felt it too.. Come in 2024 with a group hug, for u brother. Thank you. Thank you! For being a sensitive listener ♥️♥️

One of the best technical breakdowns for this song I’ve seen; this is awesome! I can’t wait to see what you do with Exist

This song is so beautiful, such an experience through out m, glad to see I’m not the only one who tears up 🥲🤘🏼

this guy gets it, he’s in tune with exactly what they were trying to make us feel

Song is even sadder when you find out it was written by the guy that didn't make it long enough for the release of the album

I appreciate your love for music bro I cant count how many times ive cried to A7X 😂

Save Me is the culmination of everything that I believe that makes A7X truly brilliant..... the song never, ever gets old!

The fact of you getting emotional right there just shows how big the impact of this song can be. So underrated. Sublime work, keep it up.

My FAVORITE SONG ALL TIME ( Save me)

this is my absolute all time favorite avenged sevenfold song and i’ve never seen someone react to it, let alone feel all the same feelings i felt my first time listening to this song. it means alot to see other people enjoying and feeling this song as strongly as i do!

the best avenged sevenfold song for me, masterfully crafted , beautiful voice and so heavenly, i cried every time listening to it.

As I've grown older this song has meant more and more to me with every listen. I can't hear it without thinking of people I love that are no longer here with us and it makes me cry every time. I'm sure a lot of us react the exact same way to this song that you did, it hits hard in every single way

This song is one of their masterpieces and the song that introduce me to the long songs, just beautiful! Thanks for the reaction Alan!

That's my favorite song of all time. Its a truly masterpiece

Got to hear this followed by cosmic on the rail in the pit on the LIBAD tour. It was the most out of body experience I've ever had and I left the show emotionally drained. Can't wait for the next tour. Thanks to the band for the deathbat club and perks, I wouldn't have gotten that close without the club.

THE BEST SONG EVER!

this is the song that got me into avenged sevenfold. first song i ever heard from them and it’s my favorite to this day. never gets old

This album is full of bangers, and this song is no different. Greatness.

In my opinion, the greatest song of all time.

This song is absolutely one of my favorite of all time... the instrumental alone brings tears to my eyes

The absolute best part of this song is the dualing guitar underneath the vocals in the part of the song before the final chorus. It adds so much emotion to the piece and goes so great with the vocal delivery that sounds like someone in pain over the loss of a loved one. It really captures the emotions of frustration and grief that really drives the song home for me I'd also like to add that, while Portnoy did perform the drums for the album and concert cycle, the original demos for the song were brought in by the Rev. They were largely incomplete, though, so the song was stitched together by the rest of the band and Portnoy until we got the masterpiece we have today.

It's overwhelming isn't it? It cuts you off guard and puts you into a hard spot in reality. It's been one of my most real life songs for a long time. Your tears at the end aren't judged. All I can say is welcome to the family.

Save Me is my favourite A7X song, and is easily in the top 10 of my favourite songs ever. Fucking masterpiece.

The way the you react to music , is literally me. You feel it all , every emotion in the harmony , in the music , in the lyrics , voice , you feel it all the same way I do.. I’m so thankful I’ve stumbled across your page dude because it makes me so happy you feel music like this. It’s something many don’t get to feel or understand . It’s beautiful . - Cameron

Spectacular song, written incredibly well. You have to listen to all their music. Talent personified.

I just realized I still have an Avenged Sevenfold Cover that I did at the start of this channel, maybe it is time for a full band one, what do you all think? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndSaidd_1b24n4k.html Get the Separated Tracks here on our Discord discord.gg/gUVfvVzGjX Up on Patreon under our lowest tier I show you how to separate the tracks www.patreon.com/dicodec

Mike Portnoy was the Drummer for A7X on Nightmare album. Although the door was revolving with drummers for about a 6 year span, Brooks Wackerman seems to be the final guy for the band....Hopefully. He is a very tight drummer for sure. Thanks for the video. Just come across your channel, I just subscribed.

Wow this might be the best reaction I've ever seen, it was so good, and so genuine. That was great, reminded me of not only the greatness of this song but the emotional control it puts upon you

En chile lo tocaron en vivo como última canción y si, fue una verdadera locura ❤️🤟

One of the best A7X songs easily!! It’s just a masterpiece, period.

Save Me is by far the most underrated song on planet earth tbh

GREAT REACTION!!!!! you're able to listen to the song technically, strip down the parts, the bass (THANKS!!!), the harmonies, the production, everything, but it's not just technical, it's accessible. you do a great job of also listening it with your heart and feeling the song. that's hard to do. amazing! and yes, this song is a masterpiece.

An unmatched Song. This is me every single day that I listen to it.

The first time you starting talking about the panning, I said out loud “oh wait for the panning bro” hahaha. This song is a fucking masterpiece, enough said.

One of the most genuine and lovely reactions I've ever seen; you got me super emotional too! Subbed.

You should really watch one of the few clips they sang this live. At the end, during the "tonight. we all die young" people started singing it with Matt, so he was like "ok, then, have at it"and points the mic to the audience. It was amazing.

This song will always have a special place in my heart

This song literally saved me on my addiction days. I got emotional when you started crying. Props to you brother, great reaction. ❤

I'm pretty sure I teared up the first time I heard it. Crazy song that nobody ever talks about.

If this was his reaction to Save Me, imagine how he’d react to So Far Away. Bro this album had me fucking crying when I heard it. Became a huge fan literally 2 years before The Rev passed away.

One of the reasons I love A7X is their ability to make these long, epic songs that don't feel near their length. Something about how they switch up the sound, pace, long bridges, etc. Perfect examples for me are Exist, The Stage, Save Me, ALPOH

Thank you for being so authentic in your reactions, I love seeing the honesty in your emotions as you listen to a song! I also really love avenged and its nice to see someone connect with their music as much as I do. Thank you for all these videos, I look forward to them all the time, especially the A7X ones 🤘😝🤘

Such a great song, long years hearing this, ALPOH is a work of art This song is a unique masterpiece

Avenged have a few videos on their KZfaq channel where they kinda break down some of their songs, and Save Me is one of the songs they did, you should check it out

someone needs to count how many emotions that he pours in this song

So awesome to see your RAW emotion to this legendary piece of music. You got hit with emotions and it floored you. And that's how I feel when I listen to this masterpiece. Thanks for showing us this vulnerable piece of who you are. Well done. I love your channel and I found you through ur a7X reaction journey. I'm a FAN.

We gotta get him to see the videos of them making this album

I had the exact same reaction when I first heard this song. I'm a musician and producer myself, and I have been a huge A7x fan since their City of Evil era. The Rev inspired me to learn to play drums and when he passed, I was completely heart broken. I remember buying the album, and listen to it while feeling completely down about his death. When this song played, taking into account that it was the last one of the album (not considering the deluxe version, which includes Lost It All) I just bursted into tears! To me, as a huge fan of the guys, this is their best song. You just can feel all the emotions they were going through while making it, and specially you can feel the pain for their lost mate! I just hope I get to see it live one day! Loved your reaction, and I hope you continue to explore more of their repertoire. Big hugs to you! It is so beautiful to see someone who feels art as much as you do!

Hello mate. Just recently discovered you and been going through your videos. I’ve listened to this song for years and your dissection, honesty and true to you reaction just open this song up for me. Thank you for being so raw and open with this reaction and keep doing what you’re doing. Big love man ❤

this is by far the best reaction vid I've ever seen. The combination of you technical/recording knowledge with your understanding and feeling of the lyrics is elite. Thank you for sharing your emotions with us

Watched this video and your reaction of EXIST. I am your fan now. Thank you. Beautiful.

Buried alive next!!! That and save me are my favorites from this album!

Absolutely love this song man

Favorite A7X song by far!!! What an absolute masterpiece

This is one of the best reactions I’ve ever seen, thank you so much for this! 🤘

I was watching your reactions of avenged for quite a few videos, and the way you break them down technically, is so interesting and quite a new thing to bring to the table for me, and definitely highlight how detailed they are on each track. I was anticipating for you to react to Save Me, and man it feels bittersweet watching you feel the song so hard. I am now a new sub of yours. Keep it going dude!

my fucking favourite song in the world! youuuu explain perfect!

I really appreciate what you're doing here, man. That bridge section hits me right in the heart as well.

its really nice to see someone else also get this emotional over songs, thank you for showing that for us. i just found you through shorts, reacting to you isolating Ronnie's vocals in Last Resort reimagined. ♥

I loved this so much my guy! Keep up the amazing videos!

The reaction came from the bottom of his heart!

I love Your reactions Man, they are amazing to watch, so entertaining and I learn so much from them every time. The track separation is unique and gives a better understanding of a song. But the true gold is in reactions like this, where You not only show Your knowledge and expertise but also true and pure emotions. I see that I'm not the only one crying while listening to that kind of song and there is nothing wrong with that. Keep up the great work, We need people like You

this reaction is amazing. this song is amazing. i’m glad you got to hear it and take it all in. i’m no musician, but i can tell you this song hits the spot. ❤

Really love your breakdowns. Very in depth and you give a ton of feedback on very individual aspects of the song. These are amazing reactions/breakdowns

This is what it's all about, genuine emotion from music.

dude I fuckin love your videos, I look forward to them everyday when I get off work. I'm on my way to becoming an audio engineer, and I was honestly getting discouraged, but your videos are sparking my passion for it, and for that, I thank you. keep it up man, it's good shit.

I can never get through this one without crying. Their Magnum Opus for sure.

Your analysis is so good. Not just about the technical stuff and song structure, but you understand the emotion and feeling of the song itself. SUBSCRIBED! Well done dude

This went from a technical breakdown to a beautiful emotional reaction! It’s just what “Save me” does to someone who listens with a heart. Love your track separation videos!

What an authentic and pure reaction!! It's impossible not to get emotional with this song

I have a lot of favorites from this band, but this one definitely takes the very top spot. It’s a masterpiece. Great reaction, looking forward to checking out more of your channel. 🤘✌️

This song is a masterpiece

This song is about Avenged Sevenfold's drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, who was found dead on December 28, 2009. It tells of how his passing has impacted on the band and speaks of the immense pain that the group members have experienced due to their loss.

this is the best reaction video i have ever watched… so sincerely done, with so much heart and emotion.. you made it possible for this song to hit you the way it should hit most of us.. i saw me listening to it the first time when i watched your reaction 😁

Song is an absolute masterpiece. Great video man. 🤘🏻

you kill me with all these pauses in the guitar solos

I just have to say....I just recently discovered your videos, and I'm absolutely LOVING them. I feel music the same way you do, so to share that experience with ya is pretty fucking cool. And might I add...a man that has NO problem showing his emotions like this, especially when it's emotions for something you are passionate about like music, is pretty fuckin stellar. Keep being you, man.❤

Great reaction video, felt it for the first time all over again with you. I don’t know if this is their best song but it’s definitely my favorite, don’t know of many songs that communicate the band’s emotion at the time the way it does. foREVer baby!
