As a kid, i didnt notice there was no drummer in this mv. Now im 20, just now i know that this is their first mv without their beloved drummer. RIP knife masta
@@Pixi900 it’s an homage to founding member and drummer The Rev. He cowrote a lot of songs on the album but died before the recording. the title track was the first ones to be released from the album.
After The Rev died, Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater stepped in to help them out and recorded the drums on the album and went on tour with the band. After the tour, they hired a new drummer named Arin Ilejay and recorded the Hail to the King album. They soon realized that they weren't getting along with Arin, so they reached out to Brooks Wackerman from Bad Religion and asked him if he was interested in joining. Brooks said yes, and Arin was fired, and Brooks has been in the band ever since.

over 10 yrs ago we lost a remarkable drummer. A7X dedicated this song and the entire album to him. We miss you Jimmy, hope you're resting peacefully. we A7X fans will never forget you man. foRever
@Christopher Bingham sorta. The lyrics seem to be about hell. And they are, but more specifically the hell jimmy was going through before his death. The references to his drug and alcohol abuse are found in a couple other songs like st James
14 years to one of the greatest albums of the 2010's is crazy i still remember begging my dad to buy this album for me in the 8th grade. damn how time flies. We miss you jimmy foREVer.
Riley Robertson he died of an accidental overdose ... he also had cardiomegaly (enlarged heart) which had a huge part in his death...he knew this and always said he would never live to be 30... bad circumstances made worse by choices...not suicide. please do not spread things like this if you do not know them to be true
I grew up listening to this album and to see it come full circle to where my two year old metal head son is begging me to play "nightmare", "this means war" and "hail to the king" can make a metal head mother cry 🥲👩🎤❤

The guitar solo, the evil haha laugh, the drums, the lead singers voice in GENERAL. The back vocals. I love it. All of it. I never not get chills when I hear this song 😭
For those who don't know, at the beginning and at the end it shows the drums because of former drummer Jimmy who played in the band but who died in 2009 from an overdose. Beautiful tribute to him.
I agree. The video was a beautiful tribute to him. Everything was spot on, from Matt's Jimmy deathbat tattoo at the beginning to Jimmy's last drum set at the end.
Crazy to think there are people who don't know - it's ok, all I mean is that as someone who discovered A7X in my teens, with City of Evil, the news of Jimmy's death still feels like it was only yesterday, not nearly 14 years ago 💔
I am so sad that we could not be at Rocklahoma this year. My son is and will always be your biggest and most loyal fan. I think it was 2009 when my son and his bandmates drove to St Louis for PointFest just to see your band. The boys were heartbroken because your singer had damaged his vocal chords and could not perform. Steven was in a horrific motorcycle accident a few hours after his father's funeral. He was and is an amazing shredder. We were not sure if he would be able to hold a guitar again. He is amazing on guitar in his wheelchair right now.When his right leg gets amputated, please let me know how much it would cost to have your band come to Springfield Missouri and get him up on stage with you. I can fill a venue and will pay any other expenses. I tried to send him this weekend to see you. He was not up to dealing with that kind of crowd in his wheelchair. Please let me know how I might facilitate this. 😢
I took my 60yr old mom and my 14yr old son to see A7X and Metallica in Seattle. The first note to this song made my mom grab me screaming OMG no F***ing way!!!! She had tears the whole time. I will never forget that day. Thanks A7X for giving me and my fam one of the best days of our lives. A7X foREVer 💀 💜😊 ✌
Well, it may seem stupid to you but, to me, my son is the best thing to ever happen in my life. And, seeing that I had to have a full hysterectomy two years later due to health reasons, I'd say it happened for a reason and there was nothing stupid about in my case. But, hey you're pretty cool for calling me out on it and bringing my post down.

I can’t say how much this song/music video helped me when it first came out. I was a misfit high schooler and suddenly A7X became my favorite band. I’ll never forget skipping practice one morning to go buy the Nightmare CD. The nostalgia is real… I’m getting teary-eyed typing this
I remember sneaking out to the mall buying the cd and later listening to this song for the first time in my old church’s parking lot. Nostalgia is real
I remember sneaking out to the mall buying the cd and later listening to this song for the first time in my old church’s parking lot. Nostalgia is real
It's very sad to have lost a friend, and the anger and sadness is very transparent to me in this album. I wish nothing of sort for them anymore but this is my favorite album, a masterpiece, a tribute to Jimmy
Noone talks about it enough. The entire aesthetic of the nightmare album and this Era in general is the best A7X has ever had. They all look so awesome.
6 years ago....My brother showed me this and i was freaked out...and now...I praise it cause listening it reminds me of when my brother had time to spend with me..
there is NO way this is almost 11 fucking years old. That is fucking insane. I remember being young and listening to Lost It All and This Means War but how the fuck was that a decade and almost a decade ago!? my head hurts and so too will my neck
In 'afterlife': " i dont belong here i gotta move on dear". In 'nightmare': " and its hurt to know that you belong here". Probably you can belong and not belong together.
I hear people complaining often that A7X isn't metal because they have a few songs that aren't totally metal. I just want to know what you guys would classify them as. I also would like to say that they may have a few songs that are different but I think just think that shows talent.
This song is metal, if you like it or not, But most of the things they are making is like hardrock/heavymetal/metalcore combined, with loads of metallica influence
Ok cool. Thanks for the input. I've been wondering for a while since this is my favorite band and it would be great to find another band with similar style.
Found this song when I was 8 years old. They became my favorite band back then. My mom always hated me listening to it, but it was just too good. Lol I’m 18 now and still love them.
Your dad had great taste in music and we'll, as been said... The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. It amazing ...the things we didn't really notice while they were here what they liked but, when their gone, you want to know everything they liked.
I like this kind of music because of my friends. My parents like 70s 80s metal music. So, i like every type of rock and metal. My favorite bands are Europe, Nirvana, GNR and A7X
14 years ago when this album/song was released I was on my 4th deployment to Iraq courtesy of the U.S. Army. This particular song helped me get through some dark days. I'm glad to see people are still listening, liking, and commenting. So, where are the rest of my Vet brothers and sisters?
The fact that they show drums for tiny bit sprinkled throughout the video and then eventually end up on the full drum set hits me like a ton of bricks. Miss you, Rev.
@@Chase-jc7rx They did it as a tribute. This was the first video they released after their old drummer the Rev died. Thats why you do not see a drummer in the whole video.
My Playlist in 2011 : - A7X - Linkin Park - SlipKnot - Metallica - System of Down - Sabaton - Power Wolf - Muse - The Cranberries - Evanescence - Disturbed 2021 : Still the same. the taste never change.
Missing disturbed and I don’t think Slipknot deserves a spot on the list. Beautiful guitar and solos and drummers but it’s sadly just all destroyed by the pointless screaming.
@@maxarey4658 you need to listen to the lyrics and not just hear them if you think Slipknot doesn't deserve a place on everyone's list. I get that everyone has their own tastes but their music isn't just filled with pointless screaming...a need to understand the group, their evolution, what each song is about and why they're so aggressive is a must have before disregarding them...Corey's vocal talent (screaming and singing) is incredible, there are very few that can even match him...I used to hate Slipknot then my brother introduced me properly to their music...
One small detail I noticed is that Mike Portnoy isn't seen in either of the music videos for this album playing with the rest of the band. It symbolizes how he was a part of A7X only to temporarily fill a void that could never really be filled. Very humble of him to not want to be in the spotlight
They were so raw over Rev's death they wouldn't let him be in any of the shots. I get it. When you grow up with someone and love them so fiercely, even if it's unfair to others, it's so fucking hard to let them go.
Yeah, Mike only played for a year with the band, which was the year this song was released, 2010. He was replaced by Arin Ilejay, who was replaced by Brooks Wackerman, who’s still their drummer. Maybe they didn’t show him because of The Rev’s death. I believe it was also Mike’s choice not to be shown in the music videos out of respect since Nightmare was the tribute album.
I don't know how I missed this band for so long. Just started hearing them regularly on Sirius XM and now I can't get enough of their music, it's fantastic.

As an 80s/90s metal fan who was slow to accept 2000s metal bands - this is a classic! That part from the 4:00 to 5:00 mark has to be one of the best heavy hitting anthemic parts of any song I've heard... hope to see them live in 2023!
+Necryd Runner Its pure brutal metal and keeps us from cutting wrist cuz were br00tl, and anyone who dislikes avenged sevenfold is automatically a justin bieber fan
I remember listening to this song when I was in elementary school because of my older brother and older sister. I loved Avenged Sevenfold and it made me sad that the drummer died :(.
@@bananaman4613 That's awesome. TH-cam blew up when I was your age and I remember trolling all the old dudes who acted like Nirvana came out yesterday in 2007 lol. Now I'm the old guy in the TH-cam comments. Enjoy it while you can dude 😅
1:42. This was my first A7X song, and when I got to this part I was absolutely blown away, my first experience with true Heavy Metal, before that it was all Liknkin Park, Three Days Grace, Papa Roach, and many other Nu Metal bands. I can't find the video where I discovered this song, it was a famous rock and metal songs video, but thanks to that video I know Avenged Sevenfold
Jika band luar negri punya sosok mat shadows yang bersuara garang namun sopan dan ramah senyuman, maka indonesia punya sosok boby cool (SID) yang sangat mirip dalam segi vokal yang garang namun ramah senyuman
What makes it great is that when you play black ops zombies or any other horror games like Dead Space, Resident Evil, or Left 4 Dead 1 and 2. This song fits perfect
@@spawnamaiali4147 the part were it shows the spider crawling on the drum set, i played a cheesy but awesome game called Earth Defense Force that involves killing giant Ants, Spiders, Wasp, Robots, and Monsters. I play this song and it fits so well because you know some or a lot of people that are afraid or hate bugs. There's a ton of earth defense force games. The best ones i played were EDF: Armageddon, EDF 2017, EDF 2025, and EDF: Iron Rain
Synyster Gates is the lead guitarist that performs the solo, along with the rythm guitarist Zacky V. who does parts with Syn to create a cool sound. The solo takes place after the 2nd chorus
0:00 to 0:06 - Rev Tattoo 1:23 to 1:28 - Rev's drum kit with a spider crawling on it (reference to spiders crawling on The Rev's face in the Afterlife music video) 3:16 to 3:33 - Zacky dancing with a skeleton (reference to Zacky dancing with his girlfriend in the Afterlife music video) 5:54 to 5:58 - more spiders and drums 6:00 - End - whole shot of The Rev's drum kit side note - the 2 kids that show up through the video could be a reference to The Shining and i could have missed some other references
January 15th, 2021 was the day my father passed away. It was also the day I had this song on repeat. That day indeed felt like a Nightmare. This song will always resonate with me.
I just started listening to them as well and noticed that the songs I actually knew (without knowing who the band was) I already really enjoyed! And I'm starting to realize that I enjoy pretty much all of their music.
The nightmare album isn't nearly the best, thought it's the most popular. You definitely should listen to A little piece of heaven (their best song) and City of evil album
A large majority of fans are teeny boppers who say A7X are the best band ever and can be really obnoxious at times because of how thick their skulls are.
As a kid, i didnt notice there was no drummer in this mv. Now im 20, just now i know that this is their first mv without their beloved drummer. RIP knife masta
He was in the video he was a camera man i think he dies later
Mike Portnoy was drumming in this album as a session drummer.
@Hilal Bin Herwan Exactly. I actually just noticed for the first time the room at the beginning with the drum kit by itself. RIP Rev!
@@andleschwing2259 so true just noticed👍 guess it was their worst nightmare not having The Rev playing with em
Vid ends with empty kit. Sadness.
I hope all A7X fans get to see this song live. When the whole crowd shouts "IT'S YOUR F**KING NIGHTMARE".... simply awesome
All i want out of life currently is to see them live but they don't come to Canada this year
I was one of those fans on the first leg of the Hail to the King tour
I saw them when they toured with metallica in Arizona phoniex back in I believe 2017 or 18
Somebody literally just tied a rope around their neck and jumped off and they're hanging there for like 40 minutes the whole entire concert
Seen them twice and yes, it’s amazing. I can’t wait till they tour again!!
Breaks my heart whenever I see that end shot of the empty drum kit 😭😭 Simple and very powerful 😢

EpicTroop710 I have many questions. Explain to me why? I'm not that familiar with the band
Zack Gibson the Rev was the original drummer of the band and childhood friend of Matt and Gates. He sadly took his life December 28th, 2009.
Zack Gibson they only fairly recently found a new permanent drummer. Before then. They switched between a few just to keep on with music
Riley Robertson

What are you?20 ? This band has been kicking assination since forever
Lyrics:
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
Nothing stops the madness turning
Haunting, yearning, pull the trigger
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)
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 sight
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 you
Given with the best intentions
Help you with your complications
You should've 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 lookin' so clear, yeah
Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Fight (fight), not to fail (fail), not to fall (fall)
Or you'll end up like the others
Die (die), die again (die), drenched in sin (sin)
With no respect for another
Oh
Down (down), feel the fire (fire), feel the hate (hate)
Your pain is what we desire
Lost (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
As your nightmare comes to life
You should've 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
But can you hit those solos?
Fk yeah!
😢😮

Crazy to think there are people who don't know - it's ok, all I mean is that as someone who discovered A7X in my teens, with City of Evil, the news of Jimmy's death still feels like it was only yesterday, not nearly 14 years ago 💔
I did not know that. I love little tid bits c like that about the bands I love.
I'm a 80's 90's rock metal guy, but the music from this band is just awesome, they deserve some credits, the only new rock I like.
Bordeath C. I am the same
Bordeath C. Fuck you
Kelvin Avitia Fuck you piece of shit!
Bordeath C. Stop fucking eachother and Listen to the rest of their music especially this album
ITS NOT FUCKIN ROCK! ITS METAL
I am so sad that we could not be at Rocklahoma this year. My son is and will always be your biggest and most loyal fan. I think it was 2009 when my son and his bandmates drove to St Louis for PointFest just to see your band. The boys were heartbroken because your singer had damaged his vocal chords and could not perform. Steven was in a horrific motorcycle accident a few hours after his father's funeral. He was and is an amazing shredder. We were not sure if he would be able to hold a guitar again. He is amazing on guitar in his wheelchair right now.When his right leg gets amputated, please let me know how much it would cost to have your band come to Springfield Missouri and get him up on stage with you. I can fill a venue and will pay any other expenses. I tried to send him this weekend to see you. He was not up to dealing with that kind of crowd in his wheelchair. Please let me know how I might facilitate this. 😢
If you're still listening to this masterpiece, you've a good taste in music.
A7X never let me down.
first time to be honest not a bad song
I saw them in Concert!
Garbage video game music.
They did release The Stage tho
Thx I know I do lol
I took my 60yr old mom and my 14yr old son to see A7X and Metallica in Seattle. The first note to this song made my mom grab me screaming OMG no F***ing way!!!! She had tears the whole time. I will never forget that day. Thanks A7X for giving me and my fam one of the best days of our lives. A7X foREVer 💀 💜😊 ✌
did you have your kid when you were 20 lmao
Russiangoodboi yeah..... So?
@@lindsaymulberry3476 nothing just kinda stupid to have a kid at 20
Well, it may seem stupid to you but, to me, my son is the best thing to ever happen in my life. And, seeing that I had to have a full hysterectomy two years later due to health reasons, I'd say it happened for a reason and there was nothing stupid about in my case. But, hey you're pretty cool for calling me out on it and bringing my post down.

Lyrics:::
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
Nothing stops the madness turning
Haunting, yearning, pull the trigger
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)
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 sight
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 you
Given with the best intentions
Help you with your complications
You should've 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 lookin' so clear, yeah
Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Fight (fight), not to fail (fail), not to fall (fall)
Or you'll end up like the others
Die (die), die again (die), drenched in sin (sin)
With no respect for another
Oh
Down (down), feel the fire (fire), feel the hate (hate)
Your pain is what we desire
Lost (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
As your nightmare comes to life
You should've 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
Turning 20 in a few months and This is nostalgic asf for me, Gates is the one who inspirerad me to play again in a band again. Love all of their work, RIP Jimmy, the REV

I can’t say how much this song/music video helped me when it first came out. I was a misfit high schooler and suddenly A7X became my favorite band. I’ll never forget skipping practice one morning to go buy the Nightmare CD. The nostalgia is real… I’m getting teary-eyed typing this
I remember sneaking out to the mall buying the cd and later listening to this song for the first time in my old church’s parking lot. Nostalgia is real

It's very sad to have lost a friend, and the anger and sadness is very transparent to me in this album. I wish nothing of sort for them anymore but this is my favorite album, a masterpiece, a tribute to Jimmy
yup

Uh you do know they were writing this album before he died right? Even this song was partially written with him. They even say that in the documentary
@@mr.tryhardguitarguy2842 I do know that, but most were recorded after his death, that's what I meant when I said it was a tribute
what do you mean you wish nothing of sort for them?
Noone talks about it enough. The entire aesthetic of the nightmare album and this Era in general is the best A7X has ever had. They all look so awesome.

where is your brother now ?
Where is he?

Thanks Heavy from tf2 your my favourite charter from that game lol
there is NO way this is almost 11 fucking years old. That is fucking insane. I remember being young and listening to Lost It All and This Means War but how the fuck was that a decade and almost a decade ago!? my head hurts and so too will my neck

This album, man this album was my high school. Rip. Literally top 5 favorite drummers. Thank you Jimmy! And thank you a7x for the memories.
this isn't jimmy
@JulianTheOwl he did write the drums though. He did it for about 60% songs on nightmare
@JulianTheOwl don't come telling me what I do and don't know homie lol get yo facts straight.
I hear people complaining often that A7X isn't metal because they have a few songs that aren't totally metal. I just want to know what you guys would classify them as. I also would like to say that they may have a few songs that are different but I think just think that shows talent.
This song is metal, if you like it or not, But most of the things they are making is like hardrock/heavymetal/metalcore combined, with loads of metallica influence
Ok cool. Thanks for the input. I've been wondering for a while since this is my favorite band and it would be great to find another band with similar style.
They ARE metal. In all of my local music stores they're in the section of heavy metal
Tucker Wyzerd tbh that doesn't say anything. A7x was metal, but they went full on hard rock on the last album
TYFLOL because it was a tribute album of bands like Iron maiden, Metallica, and Ozzy.
Found this song when I was 8 years old. They became my favorite band back then. My mom always hated me listening to it, but it was just too good. Lol I’m 18 now and still love them.
Wow, really same to me, and now Im 18 too
Damn This Song Is 10 Years Old, Time Flies
how did you find it when you were 18
The memories... my dad always loved this song when he passed away i started liking these kind of music
He's proud of u for sure :)
He just needs a little... no, a big piece of heaven, almost the entire heaven
Your dad had great taste in music and we'll, as been said... The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. It amazing ...the things we didn't really notice while they were here what they liked but, when their gone, you want to know everything they liked.
I like this kind of music because of my friends. My parents like 70s 80s metal music. So, i like every type of rock and metal. My favorite bands are Europe, Nirvana, GNR and A7X

14 years ago when this album/song was released I was on my 4th deployment to Iraq courtesy of the U.S. Army. This particular song helped me get through some dark days. I'm glad to see people are still listening, liking, and commenting. So, where are the rest of my Vet brothers and sisters?
Hooahh! 19K over here! 1 deployment though.. 2007 OEF. Salute Bro 💪🏼💯
The fact that they show drums for tiny bit sprinkled throughout the video and then eventually end up on the full drum set hits me like a ton of bricks. Miss you, Rev.
That's kinda there thing idk why but several of the songs with the rev he always finishes the song so it's fitting to see his drum set

@@maxarey4658 you need to listen to the lyrics and not just hear them if you think Slipknot doesn't deserve a place on everyone's list. I get that everyone has their own tastes but their music isn't just filled with pointless screaming...a need to understand the group, their evolution, what each song is about and why they're so aggressive is a must have before disregarding them...Corey's vocal talent (screaming and singing) is incredible, there are very few that can even match him...I used to hate Slipknot then my brother introduced me properly to their music...

@Márton Bálint same 😂
One small detail I noticed is that Mike Portnoy isn't seen in either of the music videos for this album playing with the rest of the band. It symbolizes how he was a part of A7X only to temporarily fill a void that could never really be filled. Very humble of him to not want to be in the spotlight
They were so raw over Rev's death they wouldn't let him be in any of the shots. I get it. When you grow up with someone and love them so fiercely, even if it's unfair to others, it's so fucking hard to let them go.
@@___meph___4547 I think his decision to leave DT was independent of his work with A7X. Creative differences
Yeah, Mike only played for a year with the band, which was the year this song was released, 2010. He was replaced by Arin Ilejay, who was replaced by Brooks Wackerman, who’s still their drummer. Maybe they didn’t show him because of The Rev’s death. I believe it was also Mike’s choice not to be shown in the music videos out of respect since Nightmare was the tribute album.
I don't know how I missed this band for so long. Just started hearing them regularly on Sirius XM and now I can't get enough of their music, it's fantastic.

What makes it great is that when you play black ops zombies or any other horror games like Dead Space, Resident Evil, or Left 4 Dead 1 and 2. This song fits perfect
@@CT--gu5ng So true
@@spawnamaiali4147 the part were it shows the spider crawling on the drum set, i played a cheesy but awesome game called Earth Defense Force that involves killing giant Ants, Spiders, Wasp, Robots, and Monsters. I play this song and it fits so well because you know some or a lot of people that are afraid or hate bugs. There's a ton of earth defense force games. The best ones i played were EDF: Armageddon, EDF 2017, EDF 2025, and EDF: Iron Rain
hand fucking shake
Which Black Ops has this song?
TERIMAKASIH A7X TELAH DATANG KE NEGARA INDONESIA 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Hell yeahh
I just fucking love the chorus
Syn's solo is the best part
Skyler Jensen what part is that? sorry, i'm new to this band
Synyster Gates is the lead guitarist that performs the solo, along with the rythm guitarist Zacky V. who does parts with Syn to create a cool sound.
The solo takes place after the 2nd chorus
Skyler Jensen ooh, ty
no problem :)
0:00 to 0:06 - Rev Tattoo
1:23 to 1:28 - Rev's drum kit with a spider crawling on it (reference to spiders crawling on The Rev's face in the Afterlife music video)
3:16 to 3:33 - Zacky dancing with a skeleton (reference to Zacky dancing with his girlfriend in the Afterlife music video)
5:54 to 5:58 - more spiders and drums
6:00 - End - whole shot of The Rev's drum kit
side note - the 2 kids that show up through the video could be a reference to The Shining and i could have missed some other references
Who is shining?

January 15th, 2021 was the day my father passed away. It was also the day I had this song on repeat. That day indeed felt like a Nightmare. This song will always resonate with me.
Shit man that’s my birthday. I feel for you.
R.I.P
Mumke know that your dad will always be with you and tells you to never give in to sadness🦧
why so much haters for this band,
i'm listening it for the first time and seems interesting, some unique sounds and features
Lexx Firecore Because is new metal. Most of the haters,don't listen at least 4 songs to talk shit.
I just started listening to them as well and noticed that the songs I actually knew (without knowing who the band was) I already really enjoyed! And I'm starting to realize that I enjoy pretty much all of their music.
The nightmare album isn't nearly the best, thought it's the most popular.
You definitely should listen to A little piece of heaven (their best song) and City of evil album
A large majority of fans are teeny boppers who say A7X are the best band ever and can be really obnoxious at times because of how thick their skulls are.
Lexx Firecore I like them. I'm a metal fan, but songs like this are cool. I just love the way the song changes melody from time to time.
8 year old me walking into my parents room in the middle of the night crying: 1:01
i laughed way too hard at this XD
Thats funny
And same
I come back to this video after 4 years and this is the first comment I see l and i burst out laughing
Lmfao I laughed way to hard for this good joke
Gk tau knpa dari dulu klo lgi bnyak masalah suka banget dengerin lagu A7X
I'm addicted to this song, this is Good as F***
Shadows has to be the most jacked frontman of all time. The guy is ripped haha
+BernerCheifs97 yeah no....
Logan Stoeck I'm sure their are bigger frontmen, but they probably aren't that famous.
+BernerCheifs97 till lindemann is pretty jacked. and rammstein is pretty well known
logan kautz Yea he is too. Actually forgot about Rammstein for a bit haha
***** LOL I know plenty
RIP rev
Still rockin in 2024 anyone else?
