    I went to a rock festival once where Avenged Sevenfold was the headliner. It started raining so a couple bands canceled. A7X decided to stay. By the time they came on the rain turned into a thunderstorm. A7X also had massive flamethrowers as part of the show. So there we were, with thunder and lightning crashing in the background, flames all around us, going hard in a mosh pit to this song. One of the craziest moments of my life. I'll never forget M. Shadows yelling out "This city is fucking crazy. You people are fucking wild"

      A similar thing happened to me in Rockingham, NC when Metallica was on stage. It started raining with thunder and lightning. They had fire and whatnot on that tour but they didn't need it. All I remember is the lightning making it's own light show and the 4 guys playing their heart out. It seemed like the harder it rained or the nastier it was, the harder they played and the more we loved it. That was a beast of a concert.

    This song, as well the entire album by the same name was dedicated to Jimmy "The Rev", their drummer who OD'ed. The lyrics are about their pain of the loss, but also their anger at him for letting himself get that bad. It's actually incredibly heartbreaking when you learn that this song is about someone they grew up with and loved like a brother.

    • @kylewarner93

    I saw them in concert in 2010. They started setting up guitars and stuff on the stage and then there was a guy walking on the scaffolding up in the rafters.
    He looked drunk. He was staggering around everyone started yelling get down. The spot light got put on him. He then produced a noose put it around his neck and jumped before anyone really knew what was going on.
    As soon as the slack tightened and he hung there. The lights in the place went dark and there was a fireball and the first chord of the song kicked in. It was like getting punched in the gut and it was awesome.
    The dude was wearing a harness and they got him down discreetly.
    This is a true story. I will never forget that show.

  • @druaddams
    @druaddams 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    This is one of those songs where, even if the song itself is AMAZING, the context of its release is SO important, because it also dictates little elements and 'easter eggs' that you can pick up on the video. For all of us, long time A7X fans, this video was one of the most powerfull ever, and the release of the whole album is one I think none of us is ever going to forget. As much as I love other albums, listening to this record for the first time is one of those experiences I can remember like it was yesterday, because it was painful, exciting, and just overwhelming altogether. Their drummer, The Rev, passed while they were writing the album, and for a while we all didn't even know if the band was going to continue without him. They decided to go on and, as a tribute to him, you can listen to some vocals he recorded before passing, and all his drums were recorded by one of his favorite drummers ever (Mike Portnoy). This video was released in may 2010, about 5 months after he passed, and there are iconic elements from previous videos related to Jimmy in the rooms.
    Idk, I could go on for hours hahaha I just thought it was important to provide at least some context for those not as familiar with the band that might want to know a little bit more.
    With that said, you're 100% correct. To experience this song live is MIND-FUCKING-BLOWING. One of the best moshpits I've ever been a part of.

    Hey, Layedbak
    A little bit of information about this song:
    This song was one of the last songs that was written by the original drummer, Jimmy "The Rev"Sullivan, prior to his untimely death, he'd actually written the drum track but hadn't recorded it prior to his untimely death, hence the empty drum kit displayed at the end of the video and the reason why you never saw the the drummer's performance throughout the video's runtime
    When the band did record the drum track, they'd recruited Dream Theater drummer, Mike Portnoy, to play the drums on this song and offered to have him in the music video, but Portnoy declined to appear in the video as he'd felt that it'd take away from the feeling of the song and that it implied that he'd officially become the drummer for Avenged Sevenfold in the wake of Rev's passing
