Accurate
Who said that?
@@wiraaufar 22:09
Literally died myself when syn said that shit lmfao 😂
Hearing Jimmy singing all the song is the best thing I’ve ever heard.
I want an album of all of Jimmy’s demos released, completely unedited!
@@DetectiveHouse agreed
Truee
By the way, for all of those who are fans of Jimmy’s singing, there is a demo of Buried Alive on CZcams, entirely sung by Jimmy.
Who is Jimmy?
holy fuck, the ppl who mastered/mixed this song r absolute heroes... I can barely wrap my head around like 5 instrument tracks, imagine with all this shit going on... massive props. It sounds so natural that it's unnatural
Mastering is still only one stereo track and it was done by Andy Wallace.
I wish so badly that Jimmy was here to talk about his masterpiece. ❤️🤘🏼foREVer
hey
it'd be so cool to hear how he came up with this
@@Viktor-us2ro they have a behind-the-scenes dvd for their self titled album where they go through each song. It goes over the process a little bit, how he went to Big Bear by himself and came up with some of the melody on piano and whatnot, and how most of the band hated it at first but it kept evolving during the process and turned into what we know it as now. But it would be amazing to hear him talk about it after all these years.

*Hears Jimmy signing*
signing in or signing out bro?
@@atanyhdra Yes
Where can i find jimmy sing this whole song ?

So fucking good.
They're a hot mess but it works for the song.
Listen it , i need the rev version right now 😂
Even when hammered, he somehow shows different ways on how and why he was a musical genius lol. Man he left this world too early 😞
For Jimmy's sake, release the demo with his voice ❤️❤️❤️
I was immediately wondering how I’d never heard this before. Is it just a hidden recording? I want to know!
Yes we need it!! 🙏
Fuck yeah, release the demo with Jimmy’s vocals
Doesn’t Jimmy have vocals in the song already?
@@kadenthoreson9915 yeah but this demo version has only the revs vocals
Thirty minutes breakdown?! We're getting spoiled!! Thank you, keep it up!

Yoooo speedy didn’t think you liked metal
@@KaiXGT Huge A7X fan, what can I say? :)
@@speedy 👍👍
This song is so fu*king masterpiece
24:58 their faces completely changes when jimmy sings
Well spotted, subtle, but look at poor Johnny think about it for a second
It’s hard losing someone so close to you he wasn’t just a bandmate he was their best friend he was also their wives best friend on Johnny’s podcast Drinks with Johnny he had Val and Michelle Brian and Matt’s wives on and they talked about what Jimmy meant to them as well as funny stories
Johnny miss jimmy 😢
at 10:00, hearing jimmy's vocals gives me chills. and then hearing them together at 25:07 is a next level from that. jesus christ, the man is one of the most talented musicians to have ever lived
hey
I'm convinced that Synyster just doesn't age.
He’s a vampire.
@@DetectiveHouse he looks like one too, a sexy one :v
Loved him in spy kids
@@DetectiveHouse vampire😂
@@Ohio_etsu-masu he was in it? Link please?
This song is definitely Avenged’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Edit: Shadows also mentions this at the end of this video. I promise I thought of that before I heard him say that. And thanks for all the likes.
Definitely. And The Stage (album, not song) is Avenged Sevenfold's "Images and Words." They've gone from rising rapidly to the top to being right up there with the greatest legends of music.
Wouldn't ever say it in public, but I think it's waaaay more cohesive in terms of composition synergy. The changes in this song actually make sense
@@electricnick260 I think The Stage is more like their The Dark Side Of The Moon or maybe The Wall, cause you know, it's a concept album. But idk, feel free to CMIIW
You mean, Bohemain Rhapsody is Queens "a little piece of heaven"... right?? xD
Very well put. RIP Rev.
A7X 4 Ever
This song is definitely in the running for top 100 best songs of all time.
It's the Bohemian Rhapsody of our generation
7:56 I love how Syn sings but is also sad when he pauses with a heavy face at the "everybody's gotta die sometime" part
The Rev is not overrated, he deserves as much attention as there is to him, cuz he was very talented. Not many people can do something like this
I agree man. I always knew this song was his baby, but to really see just how involved he was in it's creation from beginning to end is amazing. He really was a genius.
Wait, has somebody ever said that he's overrated? Dude, he was a fucking gift to mankind. What did we ever do to deserve him? :(
@@susshexe7987 who tf said he was overrated 😠 🔪
@@susshexe7987 ive never heard anyone say jimmy is overrated. If so they are just jealous.
@@susshexe7987 I didn't see anybody saying that.
But instead I saw several comments underestimating the rest of the band bc of The Rev(Oh btw I'm not saying that is true and it was "his fault" or that I don't like him, hell no, I love Jimmy; just pointed that).
Johnny : "Is that a trombone ?"
Saxophone: * Is Sax *
Johnny : "yea its gotta be"
Hahaha I admire his confidence
Hahaha
Lol I loved how Matt just sat there not answering 😂 I didn’t know the answer either
Matt: 😐
Johnny: 100%
🤣🖤
I can just imagine the orchestra thinking “Wait, we were part of a song about Necrophilia!?“
This song always reminded me of the nightmare before Christmas. Had that Halloween vibe with the trumpets and violins. Just a masterpiece
A song writer..
A pianist
A singer
A screamer
A drummer
A brother..
He was the backbone

You missed the go down.
Laughed so hard, then cried, I miss Jimmy so much 🦇🖤
I am gonna play one song (fiction) and i am not coming back for 10 years
Or
One day i am gonna run off the bus and run to the woods and i will practise to be the knife master miss u jimmy ❤️
#foREVever
@@bigk09 he said that thing of not coming back for ten years, he left in 2009, i'm still waitin for him to come back being de knife master, maybe is taking him a little bit more than ten years :'(
Wow, hearing the orchestration alone is pure madness, the amount of work overall is just unbelievable !
hey
8:04 when they're talking about Jimmy while playing the raw vocals "everybody's gotta die sometime". There was a pause. Looks at their faces. There was a look that you could tell struck them in that line. I dont know if its my constant need to read peoples emotions but I felt something.
Well yeah, the Rev was there buddy and he died at the age of 28, the rev had so much untapped potential
1000%, listen to the way Syn's voice sounds when he speaks up right after that. You can just tell, so sad.
Seeing Jimmy happy and being himself, hearing his demo of the original, this was melancholy defined.
My feelings exactly
Only the Rev can say "I'm an even better singer when I'm drunk" 🤣
Only the Rev and Ozzy Osbourne can say that Lol
@@ruisonlr.a2719 and we believe them
well alcohol took his life
@@macabrecreation1067 a lot of people don’t know too that Jimmy was born with an oversized heart and had a life expectancy to live to 30.
@@macabrecreation1067 well opioids a large heart and alcohol all were parts of his death
The horns, the strings, the backing vocals.. it's a masterpiece.
I love how the guitars just sit in the periphery adding texture and body, bringing everything together, it's throwback session guitarist work, unapologetically understated by design, largely unnoticed and almost always unappreciated.
It takes absolute humility.
21:28 I LOVE THIS PART
I wish I could get a clean version of him and jimmy on the live from the lbc recording
whats she name ?
A little piece of heaven is a masterpiece. The Rev's part is so good. There's nothing you can't love at this song.

He is a genius. A candle that burns 10 times faster than other. So bright it's frighteningly good.
Jimmy, one of the greatest artist ever and we miss you. foREVer.
17:55 My favorite moment is when matt and jimmy are laughed together
"about murder and necrophilia and all the good stuff" LOL.
R.I.P Jimmy. It's been a while but it still hurts.
It will always hurt, Jimmy was a master
Jimmy will be missed czcams.com/video/Mof58C7SaS8/video.html
Jimmy sapa
Jimmy was so passionate about everything he did. The world lost an amazing songwriter and many “what could have been” masterpieces.
He reminds me so much of Paul Gray another talented musician that was taken way to soon
@@nem5217 and if both of them were still here, not only would we not have gotten some of there best music. They might not even be here today
Missing you a lot, Jimmy.
Your vocal tells so many stories.

Love you a lot, man.
starting at 10:00 for a minute they went into how Jimmy is a damn master of music .. those screams gave me chills!! what a beast of a vocalist

True
None of them age! It's crazy!
They are still in their 30's dude
Still young
@@staystrongjoseph late 30’s
I had always known there was a bari sax part in this song but when I saw it I got all giddy and excited. An absolute masterpiece of a song. R.I.P. Jimmy🕊🕊
Im glad all of this has been recorded at the time, it truly is a wonderful time capsule of a great artist who will inspire me on multiple levels, and I don't even write the same music genre. Rev was a genius.
It is so comforting to see footage of Jimmy. It is soothing, somehow.
Jimmy’s vocals just give me chills, but in a good way
Watching jimmy as this masterpiece all fell into place is absolute bliss.
The guy was a musical genius and so sadly missed.
Your gift to us will always be remembered and live on through your bandmates and all of the A7X fans
Thanks 'Rev'
i love seeing this. been a fan since I was 12 or 13, I'm 26 now. RIP Rev and I can't wait to hear more music from you guys still. This looks like it was a super fun song to work on
"the ultimate Rev song" - M.Shadows
More like the ultimate Avenged Sevenfold song.
Damn. I knew The Rev was good, but seeing him in this, holy shit. Rest in Peace. That "just begun" scream is just amazing 10 minutes in
And he was drunk. 😆
@@FikriAlfathan That part kind-of shook me. The Rev died due to a drug overdose, and the mentions of drinking in this just made me feel sad
@@JoeStuffz alcohol was part of why he died. Mixing opiates and alcohol. He went to rehab many times sadly.
I really wish they would release all the raw footage from the entire making of self titled. It's such a happy place for me to see everyone having so much fun and laughing. Especially Jimmy lol. I would watch a 4 hour video of just the guys in the studio having fun.
Wow! That was amazing! It’s crazy seeing the other guys watching and listening to Rev and they all have smiles. Totally reminds me of my band in the 90s. We all grew up together as kids like these guys did. We were in no way even close to them but for us it was the greatest. Anyway our singer died in a car accident but just didn’t make sense of where he was going and just so many questions. Every time I listen to our music I just smile. Seems like all of the ones who shine the brightest go first. R.I.P. Jason K. Miss you bro! 🖤🖤🖤🤘🏻
I wonder what the rev would come out with for a song if he was still alive... but he still left us some interesting songs. RIP
10:01 - Just...how!? He’s literally screaming those notes! The Rev was on another level.
The Rev did like the fucking impossible dude, he was the knife master, drum master, vocal master ( next to M. Shadows of course ), song master, piano master, and he was the best band member and best brother, son, and best friend they could have, he was gone too soon, R.I.P Rev, he always made light of a situation, he was really funny too, he left this world too early, we need him back
I´m almost 8 years into singing and I still wonder how the hell was he able to do that. It´s literally insane, he´s adding distortion and singing on the 5th octave like its NOTHING
AND HE WAS DRUNK.
@@jakobnaidl05 He was so good that God decided to take him to the afterlife paradise early
MATT'S VOICE TOO!!! LIKE HOLY SHIIIT
Man I got emotional watching this😢 this song is a masterpiece. Thank you for making this whole Breakdown video. Cant wait for their concert and new album🤘
24:55 i have this stuck in my head. just this track. beautiful
fucking perfection
M. Shadows: “It’s like. Probably be, like. Our Bohemian Rhapsody. If there’s, their ever could be one”
I TOTALLY AGREE
Modern bohemian rhapsody, just like welcome to the black parade❤️
8:41 I love Jimmy politely instructing Matt not to change his vocal melodies hahaha
lmao right, think about how different the song would sound
Wew so polite
Jimmy actually sings that melody (edit: close to it) on the last chorus! 27:34
@@forzby Yeah but it was mixed out, which is a shame. But you can hear them both do heaps of live ornamentations all the time during the self titled tour.
He's not just a drummer, he also the songwriter, the composer, the backup vocalist, and as we know, he's one of person who founded Avenged Sevenfold together with Matt Shadow and Zacky
This Breakdown series is brilliant. Awesome you guys had so much fun. Song is immortal.
can i just say that im truly thankful for rafa capturing all these moments we get to enjoy rafa you may never see this but thanks man truly
Jimmy was the Beethoven of metal
Change my mind
Wow, that is so well said!!!
We can’t change the truth!
Shit dude I rarely comment but GOD that was the most accurate thing Ive ever heard on jimmy ! And its so true
so true
I’d argue he’s closer to Bach with how much improvising he did on the vocals lol
My first year of high school was a bit difficult in a way, my grades dropped really badly in Italian (my mother tongue) and I really cared for the subject but couldn't seem to write decent essays anymore. I felt so down and demotivated. Then for the last test of the school year, our teacher gave us the option to write a short story so I could write whatever I wanted. So I basically wrote the story of "a little piece of heaven" but with a darker ending. got the best grade of that year. I'm a literature and linguistics major now. So thank you, Jimmy.
Congratulations! Out of curiosity, do you remember what your ending was?
We need to know the ending
You mean you handed in an essay about a man fucking his GF's corpse your freshmen year and didn't get sent to a counselor?
@@98izzark69 what worries me is that there was a "darker ending"
@@SirForcekin Oh we do
I love that you guys are doing breakdowns of songs! One song that you are missing for breakdown purpose that is still my favorite is Sidewinder. I still think it show cases every talent in the band instrumentally and would love a breakdown video for it!!!
Knowing how much effort and genius went into putting this together, now this is nothing short of an artful masterpiece. Brilliant brilliant work!
A little piece of heaven, Beast and the harlot, Dear God, Afterlife, Size The Day, Almost Easy, Blinded In Chains, Lost, Critical Acclaim, Scream...
Also you guys performance at LBC is very memorable for me and i miss that era
Fuck yes!! I saw them in 2009 at Rock on the Range right before we lost the Rev. Best band on the planet!
Don't forget fiction 🥺
Hahahhaha fuckin love this live
Getting to hear those isolated vocals at 10:00 makes me so happy, been wanting to hear them for more than a decade.
My #1 favorite band of all time. This song helped me through my rough time of breaking up with my past love. RIP Jimmy! What a masterpiece!
The songs this band has are very beautiful and expensive, with lots of complexity that has become their trademark forever. Excellent🎉

This is the first song i've been listening and watching of Avenged Sevenfold at 11 y.o with some crazy video stuff like that.. but from this song, i'm listening more Avenged Sevenfold till this day.. i remember singing together with my friends on elementary school.. become a big fans of you guys.. but sadly, i know Avenged Sevenfold when The Rev was passed away.. RIP for The Rev.. i love you guys.. keep make a another masterpiece 🤟
This is an absolute masterpiece its the best i have ever heard, everyone i show this music gets completely viciated on it, just an amazing song no words
As a longtime fan, I want to thank you for looking at Jimmy when he laid this out in front of you, and just rolling with it. His maniacal genius really unfolded onto paper and turned into a masterpiece of brilliance. I was 16 when Jimmy passed and I'll never forget when I heard the news that night. You guys really got me through some dark times. Again, thank you.

THEY NEED TO RELEASE THE "BIG BEAR" DEMO
This is literally the best content you guys have ever made.
The Rev is and will always be my favorite musician. He is the reason I got into drumming.
This was almost as emotionally charged as the tribute video they made right after his passing... I LOVED hearing the demo with his singing, thank you for sharing that... this whole video is amazing and a great testament to how special of a musician Jimmy was. Also I’m glad they solo’d his background scream in that last chorus, always loved his background vocals on that whole part. Just wow this was a blessing and so is this band.
