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
I’m 49 years old and an experienced guitarist. This song is absolutely superb-the structure, the solo, and especially the harmonic lines in the solo, which I particularly love. And, of course, the way it sounds is just perfect to me.
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 😭

@@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...
This song is 15 years old, who still listens to this music? The drum beats of Mr. Mike Portnoy are very beautiful and full of spirit. Warm greetings from Indonesian fans....
son: dad, why my sister named Rose? Dad: because your mum likes roses. son: ok, thanks dad. dad: your welcome, Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare (Official music video)
The ending is like an amazing tribute to The Rev. R.I.P. (Fun fact I'm sure you know, Mike Portnoy filled in on the song after Jimmy passed cause he was his idol)
@@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.
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
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
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 was listening to this in class my teacher caught me and was like if you wanna listen to music play it for everyone thinking it was like pop i unplug my earbuds and all you hear is ITS YO FUCKING NIGHTMARE and i got 2 weeks detention
I've had that happen but I was listening to House Of The Rising Sun by 5FDP. And most of you guys should know the intro for it and that just so happened to be playing my luck

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 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 🥲👩🎤❤
@TheVideoNorm yeah I told her when I got here, a couple years ago that I was going to marry Leonardo DiCaprio, she just got mad and ran me off. Her responses were , have I talked to him on the phone, and your not staying here. I didn't share our telas or dreams or meeting at the waffle House
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..
@@poptart1256. I'm the great grandson of this owner account and yes I'm still listening..if I'm not,my great grandpa would come back and buried me alive :v
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 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.
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.
Also agree. It's where they have released their most amount of musical variability. It's like each song is a different genre form another, it gives each song a sort of identity inside the album and makes all of them unskippable. Even the removed song, Lost it all, follows this. None of their other albums has been able to replicate this magic. It's practically the perfect tribute for The Rev (even though he contributed in 90% of it😂). They couldn't have done it better
This album out of all of them, in terms of sound, isn't my favourite, however I find that the concept, a soldier following orders without question and after many bad orders and just going through with them, being ignorant to the whole , it's just an order not my decision etc , finds himself shot in a battlefield and fading away, in the hospital, he's going in for surgery but dies in the hospital, it almost feels like he didn't even realise and things just merged into hell. I loved all of that .
@@JJ-nr9cs I've only seen one similar to mine, so not true. But as to what type of comment mine is, then yes, there are surely millions out there similar.
i dedicate this song to my foster dad who was abusive to us 5 boys and the childern before us. when i heard of his passing i played this song over and over. the kids running down the hall gave me goosebumps cause thats probably what he saw as he took his last breath our innocences leading him out
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.
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
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.
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.

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!
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.

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?
@@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 😅
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

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
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 listened to this song in elementary school (yes, the explicit version) and I loved it. My dad and I listened to it every morning before school. I miss those times.
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.
I remember falling asleep with headphones in and waking up in the middle of the night with this song on. The intro made me feel like i was in an actual nightmare and then I proceeded to nearly fall out of bed from how bad the drums scared 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
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
Anyone notice how Zacky Vengeance was dancing with a woman in afterlife and now he's dancing with a skeleton in this song. I have no idea what that means but the idea is iconic.
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.

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
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...

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 was listening to this in class my teacher caught me and was like if you wanna listen to music play it for everyone thinking it was like pop i unplug my earbuds and all you hear is ITS YO FUCKING NIGHTMARE and i got 2 weeks detention
Really? I mean she asked what you were listening to.
Yea she's a cool teacher but kinda a bitch
I wish my teach would do this.... I would put on Marilyn Manson Fight Song
\m/
I've had that happen but I was listening to House Of The Rising Sun by 5FDP. And most of you guys should know the intro for it and that just so happened to be playing my luck
Whoever mixed this album deserves a raise. So well balanced. Would love to hire them to remaster City of Evil.
Anyone elses heart hit the floor when they saw that this song is TEN YEARS OLD?!??? Life is short, ROCK ON!!!🤘🤘🤘
There amazing !!this song sums up 2020 ❤
I couldn’t believe it either!
No, i actually came here bc my 6 yr old son requested the song by name & proceeded to sing the whole thing shortly after! #parentingdoneright
Yup me too
This song reminds me of college, good times.
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!
😢😮

Ivan Miloš Best comment ever. I never thought about it.
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 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 🥲👩🎤❤

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 agree. I think Nightmare is their best album by far imo
Also agree. It's where they have released their most amount of musical variability. It's like each song is a different genre form another, it gives each song a sort of identity inside the album and makes all of them unskippable. Even the removed song, Lost it all, follows this.
None of their other albums has been able to replicate this magic. It's practically the perfect tribute for The Rev (even though he contributed in 90% of it😂). They couldn't have done it better
This album out of all of them, in terms of sound, isn't my favourite, however I find that the concept, a soldier following orders without question and after many bad orders and just going through with them, being ignorant to the whole , it's just an order not my decision etc , finds himself shot in a battlefield and fading away, in the hospital, he's going in for surgery but dies in the hospital, it almost feels like he didn't even realise and things just merged into hell. I loved all of that .

"Yes."

Saw them Monday night in stl, it was amazing..
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

JAJAJAJAJA TE AMO.
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
Most metal sound linkin park made is I think is given up
Welcome to the family
Below the amazing vocals you can hear a real hurting that gives this song so much more emotion
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.
R.I.P THE REV ...A7X FOREVER

I remember falling asleep with headphones in and waking up in the middle of the night with this song on. The intro made me feel like i was in an actual nightmare and then I proceeded to nearly fall out of bed from how bad the drums scared 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
I know.
You're right, there is no way that this is almost 11 fucking hears old because it's nearly 11 fucking YEARS old.
oops
When i was a little kid i was scared of this song. Now it's comforting. Weird how things change so rapidly.

I cannot thank Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies enough for letting me discover this song and A7X in general. Now my favorite song of all time.
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?
Take in guys it’s almost 2020

Anyone notice how Zacky Vengeance was dancing with a woman in afterlife and now he's dancing with a skeleton in this song. I have no idea what that means but the idea is iconic.
I personally don’t think it means anything. There’s most likely no correlation other than the idea.
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🦧
