Check out the documentary they made on the self titled album, they pretty much do this with all the songs on that album. Especially a little piece of heaven, they tell the full story, it's amazing.
6:02 Regardless of Syn's self-criticism: the tempo integration of Almost Easy was amazing. If you listen to the riff at half speed, you can really hear Syn and Rev battle. TOO GOOD. You guys vibed so heavily that I think you filled in each others gaps. The Rev was so beautiful in his ability to range vocally and with the set. "Is that a keyboard in there or is that Jimmy?"
Indiiigod666 not all of it. Nightmare is their only album where they had Mike Portnoy playing drums because the rev passed before he had recorded everything.
2:04 Syn: Well you could probably play that better than I could This right here is why Syn is such a cool guy, eventhough he's known as one of the best guitarist of this time, he's still so damn humble. Every interview he's been in with Zacky, he always ALWAYS gives Zacky credit each and every time.
true, that makes me so happy. I think sometimes people kinda forget about zacky as he is the rhythm guitarist, but Syn makes sure that he is always included. Gates is a great dude.
@@fayfayyooou You can actually see him choke back the tears. That had to be so emotional, hearing his best friend's voice and it sounding so beautiful.
As a band kid and all around music nerd, I love this band for being so outside of the box in terms of time signature changes, weird harmonies, and chord progressions that don’t follow the I, VI minor, IV, and V. Everything is so different but it works every time
This is one of my favorite songs. I never looked at these behind the scenes videos before and didn’t realize that Jimmy wrote this song. He truly was gifted!
Jerks!. (Meaning #MichaelBay) But they used in one Movie, One of the MOST Depressing Linkin Park Songs... Ever. (No Offence to Linkin Park, I am a Fan) But that Song makes me CRY!.
Can't wait to see this. Love Almost Easy. Hope the next "Breakdown " is about Shepherd of fire. I don't talk music lol!! but I love the heavy sound of drums, bass, guitars, Synysters lead parts and the bridge all throughout the song. Of course the vocals too.
I could listen to just the drum track to this song forever. It’s so incredibly technical and the Latin beat switch up is probably one of the best things ive ever heard in music it’s just so creative and completely changes the song.. rip jimmy you saved my life with this song years ago
the way the guys interact with each other is so special 🥺 they mess around, but get the job done without being jerks to each other the way other band members tend to be with each other. there’s lots of love there.
Would be cool but I doubt it. A7X doesn't even perform that song live anymore because of Jimmy's death, so I would doubt it if they broke it down. Prolly Nightmare, or Beast and the Harlot are next.
SnappyCar4 man screw that, I’m so damn sick of hearing those songs by now. They need to get back into playing the stuff that’s cool instead of just popular. They all hate playing beast and the harlot but it’s popular so they still play it at a good amount of concerts. Any real fan would gladly take a song like God Hates Us or Brompton Cocktail over one of their more generic and overplayed songs like Hail To The King
@@aidanlarose6901 They've done a breakdown of Brompton. Search up "Making of Self Titled Album", they show how they've come up with every song on that album.
Daniel Ornelas Check out their Making of their self titled album. Should be on TH-cam. Most of the clips in this video are in that behind the scenes. Some of my favorite A7X moments
I imagine most bands have tons of unreleased studio footage, I really want to see some from Slipknot recording their self titled or Iowa if any footage exists of course
@@Mythiqoeatsbreadladdd Slipknot has some footage of them recording at Indigo Ranch, Korn has a lot more footage of the studio though. Seems like Slipknot doesn't really like talking about the old days so I doubt we'll ever get to see in depth footage from back then
They Break it down a bit in another Video. I think it's called; "Avenged Sevenfold, A Little Piece of Heaven Commentary." Or check My Playlist... Avenged Sevenfold: Other Stuff Hope that helps.
I like this kind of content. Because of the old days of the video making. Especially in indonesia that the avenged sevenfold will be happy. I'll wait for the next video.😀
I absolutely love this album just for the fact that everyone’s voice was included, it’s such a cool thing to hear the different layers that went into all of it
Que triste debe ser ver cómo componen los temas con un amigo que no está mas, pero que glorioso como lo recuerdan ellos con alegría y felicidad, son un ejemplo
This brings back all the memories of when this first came out and the hours I spent listening to the songs and airdrumming along 😍 Jimmy will forever be my first love and no one can ever top him on the drums ❤
What a legend he is. All of you guys are. I’m 52 and you are my favorite band. I never met The Rev but, I miss him. I know you guys loved him and miss him more than anyone. What a true gem.
I love the coordination between the band members. It makes it sound like they're a coordinated band and a group of friends just having fun doing what they love
I love all of you, so talented. Not enough credit is given. I'm 54 ,my 24 year old daughter turned me on to you a few years ago, I have to listen to you every day, you get me through. Thanks
I love this song thank you all for making it. I never knew how to deal with my own anger of how I treated and how I couldn't save my mom from the drugs and her disease, but once I heard this song it all just crystallized in my head and I was finally able to let go of that self anger, self hatred and self-loathing. It took my forever but I think I finally made it right back then.
It’s amazing hearing all the individual vocal harmony parts from the chorus, it’s one of my favourite vocal harmonies ever, but when they play the rev’s vocals individually that is pure bone chilling, and the fact that it shows zacky can actually sing a lot better then he ever gets credit for
Just glad to see the band able to smile remember and commemorate the myth the man the legend Jimmy Sullivan... No more tears just honor the brilliance ...hes looking down and happy that we are all able to remember what he did for all of us
Hearing Jimmy's voice alone still gives me chills
XxLorasch35xX absolutely. Almost easy to tear up
Yeah
You ain't lying 😔
I miss him like crazy
Too good to be trashed ♡
Syns face as they listened to just jimmys chorus vocals.....you can tell he still misses his best friend. As do we all
That’s a good thing they should miss him
We all do my friend... We all do.
Anything with jimmy on this series you could see it hurt
FoREVer
I still remember when the news came out, I almost passed out. I was so sad. I used to live and breathe a7x back then. it fooking reaped me apart
Rest in Peace Rev. We miss you!
Everynody misses Jimmy 😭
Im still miss him :(
😿😿
@jonathan kayina jimmy is a gates son
@jonathan kayina you make me a sad panda asking questions like this..
When they played the clip of all of them singing “mother said it all.” That gave me chills.
Lil Knee Grow samee
Me as as well especially when he played then all individually
I love how humble Syn and Zacky can be. Especially about their other bandmates, but still be funny as fuck!
Matt isnt
@@codysampson8614 Matty is humble if you look at some videos

So glad they're featuring older songs too 😍 can't wait for this one!
hey
3:29 Matt's vocal = goosebumps
hey
INDEED!
@@SlebenGates hey
note the tuning
5:29 is probably the best vocal harmony ive ever heard. Its so beautiful. I almost cried hearing just The Rev's part.
7:19 Jimmy’s voice here always gives me shivers. I love it. “Slowly slipped away”
Please never stop making music. You guys absolutely floor me.
Yaaaasss girl! Agreed 100%
yes AGREED
Agreed.! :D
You still on the floor?
10:00 I love how Zacky enjoys and like still can not believe how The Rev did that part of the drumming.
never gets old
I don't understand why Zacky don't sing more . He has a awesome voice
Ikr ! He has unique voice
Runaway best song by avenged sevenfold zacky vengeance vocals only
It's like a angel singing.
Yeah I love his vocals

Andrew Pappas yeah Because I’m pretty Sure he gets into the 5th Octave Which is Really High
@Shallex it was a joke.
Yeah, his vocal range is quite impressive.
The Rev is the brain of Avenged Sevenfold

"was"
Eh the stage is probably their most technical and pregressive sounding record yet
The rev was definitely here during nightmare

If you noticed, in the music video for Afterlife, Syn points towards Zacky's part like "This guy here" when the solo hits,
@@angshumanc4473 Haha noticed that as well.
Zacky is honestly a beast too, when they play hail to the king live he even takes the main riff for a bit between Syn's solo and the bridge
syn KNOWS how hood zacky is, i respect them both
I love how they talk about Jimmy. You can tell he was such a dear friend.
Jimmy's voice is so unique

synysterjazmyngates honestly that song is bad ass also strength of the world would be dope
Yes
UP
Fucking love sidewinder.
Same here
2:11"These are such weird chords"
Yet these are the chords that ear-catchy for me first time listening to this song
The bridge vocals of Jimmy is my all time favorite thing and this will forever be my favorite song by them because of the way it’s written
I can't imagine how they felt listening to the revs voice in these recordings.
Seeing Syn’s face in 6:49 really got me
@@fayfayyooou You can actually see him choke back the tears. That had to be so emotional, hearing his best friend's voice and it sounding so beautiful.
Avenged Sevenfold - Shadow Fist
Lol
LETS GO BABYNEXTSONG
Lol
Matt sounded like he was trying to sing Judas Priest’s _Painkiller,_ but I’d listen to that song
We have a new direction!
As a band kid and all around music nerd, I love this band for being so outside of the box in terms of time signature changes, weird harmonies, and chord progressions that don’t follow the I, VI minor, IV, and V. Everything is so different but it works every time
I keep comming back to listen to the "Barber Shop Quartet" part
The best barbershop quartet
lmfao I died when he said that
Exactly what I’m here again.
I'd go to their barbershop 😅
Man, Jimmy’s voice is just awesome, can never unhear it now on this song!
So amazing to see Jimmy old videos. You guys are amazing 🔥🌹 #oldschool
jimmy's voice at 5:02 give us some thrilling throwback... damn..
Miss you, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. Greatest love from Indonesia
4:19 started as a joke leads to incredible touching experience about all of us miss the rev
6:10 Oh yes, that feeling when you try to listen closely and realize some parts are in 6/4, but it flows so naturally that you never noticed…
6/8?

This is one of my favorite songs. I never looked at these behind the scenes videos before and didn’t realize that Jimmy wrote this song. He truly was gifted!
I cried at Jimmy’s harmony. Sounds like an angel crying for help.

Wait when did he say this?
0:24 Not exact quoted Words. But close enough.
It was on the Revenge of the Fallen soundtrack what was supposed to be in the 2007 Transformers movie soundtrack

Oh snap I thought they were only doing "The Stage" album songs and "Mad Hatter". This is awesome! Almost Easy is one of my favorite tracks.
12 years ago. Holy shit guys, this song was released 12 years ago! Man, that is hard to even wrap my head around.
