Self titled was very much Jimmy's album. Its amazing. Still an a7x fan to this day from Sounding the Seventh to now. They've changed a lot. I love their metal core stuff, I love their prog stuff, I love their hard rock stuff, all of it. They'll always be my favorite band of all time, no matter how they evolve.
Completely agree, mostly because jimmy's cause of death was a literal brompton cocktail, aka overdose due to a lethal alcohol & prescription drug mix. A lot of people say this song was him hinting at how he was gonna go out...
yeah i agree, this song is already fucking incredible but if they kept that it would be the cherry on top make a tiny bit more cooler even though its already pretty fucking cool haha
Matt wrote the lyrics for this. The rev wrote alot of the music. They even say Matt's lyrics were perfect for the groove of the song. But I think rather then him saying how he was going out it was a cry for help. As a former addict that's usually how it happens it's subtle and subliminal at first
wow. My eyes are even more opened with how much of a loss the passing away of the Rev was. he wasn't just family and the drummer, but the mastermind behind multiple songs of this album. Especially A Little Piece of Heaven.. how a drummer portrays this vision in his mind that seems nuts (especially attempting different instruments) and next thing you know, dozens are behind him, bringing in a friggen choir and orchestras. Sure sucks that he is gone.. but I still can't wait for the next album.
+Braydon Jones The Rev is my inspiration, because of him I started playing drums, I'll bet Hail to King would be better if he was a part of it. I Miss him so much.
+PepsiMax Tbh, I don't think Avenged would've done Hail to the King if the Rev was still around. Unless the Rev himself also wanted to do a classic which was what Hail to the King is suppose.
he knew he would die before the age of 30 as he was born with an enlarged heart, that was one of the things he told Syn's dad when he was 15, that he would die before 30 and become a rock star. He knew that the pain of dying from his heart would be horrible so he took it into his own hands. I'd give anything though if it could have been that he never had this problem and that he could have lived his full life.
DaronMalakian15 yeah I noticed something was wrong when he was talking about his insides hurting. I'm genuinely distraught even more so after watching this.. But simultaneously taken back by the immense talent he possessed.. N no one can fuck with him on that triple time to boot. Rock in peace rev
So depressing to think the Rev has passed because the guy was a mastermind at writing songs most A7x classics he wrote. It must be difficult for them to come up with great songs over and over without him
The whisper for Brompton Cocktail, that The Rev was doing, they should've kept that. I mean, I love the song, but I wish they kept the whisper records.
its crazy how much effort they put into every single song and it pays off on the final record too. also, shanna crooks is the most animated singer ever
It totally gave me the shivers when it came to the Rev recording the chorus for Critical Acclaim, man was he ever a cool dude. Make me proud every day to rock foREVer on my forearm!
I’ve been a die hard Metallica fan since I was probably 10 years old. I’m 34 now. But yeah I’ve always loved how they were so different. They weren’t afraid of doing what they wanted. I feel Avenged Sevenfold is the “new” Metallica. Not saying they are copying them or ANYTHING like that. I’m saying they are willing to go outside the box!! Love it!
I agree with you! All the classic pioneer metal bands are still the flag bearers because nobody has come along since to pick up the flag! Except Avenged Sevenfold! I truly believe they are the lone band that is carrying the torch of the originals like Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, etc, that are creating music that is as important to the genre, and songs that are going to stand the test of time and stand out as classic rock/metal the way that the aforementioned pioneers of the genre did!
2007-2017(now) , totally different stories , i'm fucking in love with A7X , i know them since i was 6th grade on my school, now i'm about 20 years old , i grown up with them, their songs , and for me Avenged Sevenfold is my fucking life #sorryformybadenglish foREVer *sob *sob *sob
But at least 95% of all people don't even know about that Indonesian term. Only Indonesian people. So obviously Johnny and the rest of the band don't know that.
I pretty much gave up on these newer bands til my son turned me on to A7X. Now these guys are all I pretty much listen to besides KISS and 1 or 2 hair bands from the 80s.
This is my favorit Avenged Sevenfold album. My favorite songs are Critical Acclaim, Almost Easy, Dear God, and Afterlife. But i also like all the songs in this album. Really amazing Hard Rock album.
I’ve watched this like a hundred times and I only now just noticed that at the end of the credits it says Mr. Zog’s sex wax among the things that Avenged Sevenfold uses 😂
Man I miss hanging out at home watching this on repeat. Still remember the first time I heard this album. Edit: even though I knew and remembered, Matt wearing a Ed Hardy jacket reminded me of when this was made hahahahaha
There is no expression of gratitude and appreciation significant enough to truly encompass my love for this band. So much talent in one group of people it's incredible. The Rev will forever live on through his creations and the legacy he left behind. 🖤🤘🏼 Deathbat Nation FoREVer
I just watched this 3 times in a row... 😂 I always had a great appreciation for Avenged Sevenfold and this pushed me forward... I love watching videos with the Rev ripping shit up... this is probably one of my favorite albums by Avenged Sevenfold with my favorite songs being Little Piece Of Heaven, Dear God, Gunslinger (I also love listening to there heavier songs but this album just had a great variety that I haven't heard anywhere else before) foREVer

Brompton Cocktail is CRIMINALLY underrated. Easily one of their best songs.
Its brompton and lost that are underrated
strong agree

“Do you want some water?” Syn: “No, just some Walter.”
So many legendary quotes
42:57. Beautiful
What a beautiful chance taken😊🥰
We should all request that and see if we can get a rerelease of it. There’s no way they trashed those tracks right?
28:41
The Rev really was a brilliant musician and creative talent...so sad he passed...the thoughts of what could have been with him are really limitless.
Just a spoonful of Jimmy helps the world go down...
remember he didnt pass, he just ran away to the woods to become the knife master with his army of stallion ducks.
he would’ve died anyways bc of his enlarged heart
but it still sucks😕

As a drummer, I can completely confirm this is how bands tell each other ideas.

Sovereign King yeah, that part will always be a great way to remember him!! so glad he sing it!!
He definately deserved his own song that he could sing the entire way through
Sovereign King same, you know why? IM NOT INSANE
It's even more insane when you hear his voice singing live.. eerie and powerful
42:58 "Well this is Cool, the Rev's crazy, you know"
Jimmy: "WHY!!???"
Just perfect 😂
Man I really can't help but feel every song the Rev wrote kinda had a dark and sad vibe dealing with mistakes and death.
he knew he would die before the age of 30 as he was born with an enlarged heart, that was one of the things he told Syn's dad when he was 15, that he would die before 30 and become a rock star. He knew that the pain of dying from his heart would be horrible so he took it into his own hands.

I honestly feel like he dropped hints on this album cuz most of his writing was about death on this album
DicSlash he wasn’t joking. He really felt the pain, he even said “It’s still going, dude!”
So depressing to think the Rev has passed because the guy was a mastermind at writing songs most A7x classics he wrote. It must be difficult for them to come up with great songs over and over without him
28:41 You can see in Syn’s face, he’s like “I got a good one.”
Just a spoonful of Jimmy xD

Still waiting... he'll come back one day

9:42 "rrrreeaaahhh" precious
Now, 3 albums later, I find my favorite AX7 records are always the most recent.....The Stage as of now. These guys just get better and better.
its crazy how much effort they put into every single song and it pays off on the final record too. also, shanna crooks is the most animated singer ever
5:55 Rev-"yeah i got a song, its pretty cool"
22:45 is the revs part in the song I've never heard this part before
its really quiet whispers
James Short cause it wasn't put in the actual song
Didn't make the final cut
Me too!
"Just a spoonful of Jimmy, helps the whole world..."

39:15 a masterpiece is born
love to hear all those original demos Jimmy recorded for the songs he wrote
It totally gave me the shivers when it came to the Rev recording the chorus for Critical Acclaim, man was he ever a cool dude. Make me proud every day to rock foREVer on my forearm!
yeah his voice is so unique

5:12 "The Stage"
Akshit Jha Oh shit, *_nice!_*
am i the only one who actually hears matt and jimmy screaming at 49:19 in the song after they whisper "let's start the killing?" 😂
Ciara Mills nope. I do. I thought I was alone in that 😂
and in the part where they were laughing at when matt said “eat the shit out of it” I FUCKING HEARD IT THE OTHER DAY WHILE LISTENING TO THE SONG
Once you watch this video then listen to the song you always hear it 😂
13:12 Syn glitched out 😂
Very much impressed the strings did not snap
Brian looks so much like his father
One of my favorite videos on youtube. Never fails to put me in a good mood :)
this whole thing should be in netflix or hulu. especially during December. rip James "The Rev" Sullivan
I don't know why but each time i see this, 13:07 just gets me everytime
'Do you want some water?'
'No, just some Walter'
Excellent meme.
Now a days if they see gates play on the Rebel flag people would be supper triggered
Gates' Rebel Avenger is his version of Dimebag Darrell's Dean Dixie Rebel.
RIP Dimebag..he woulda loved A7X I bet...think of the collabs that cant happen :( fuck..
The High pug That's because for some reason, people associate the rebel flag with racism, when that's not what it means at all.
The High pug The Rebal flag guitar is awesome!
the flag itself doesn't, however the association of it with the confederacy kinda seals the flag's fate.
Every song in this album is amazing.
thats so sad.. no one makes albums like that anymore
everyone just rush the album
Just like Hail to the King and The Stage (2-3 years of production).
yea
Me hearing any syn solo for the first time: 11:59
26:19 "Track It!" HAHAHAH
5:20 sounds just like Waking the Fallen
Unbound is by far one of the best songs on this album! Watched this many times. Just wanted to watch it again
Such a killer album, im so glad this whole video was made to capture the process.
this by far is one of my favorite albums of avenged sevenfold.

I may have outgrown Avenged Sevenfold but this album will always hold dear to me. Awesome songs and so many memories tied to them for me!
The Pantera influence came out strong on this one 💯 One of my favorite records of theirs

7:45 syns dancing on point

I can’t believe the chorus in critically acclaim was the Rev omg !!❤️
on Almost Easy johnny christ said the drumming almost sounds like latino vibe or old school hard rock, in Indonesia we call it Dangdut man

When this came out in 09 I was literally watch it everyday to learn how an album is made..
Thanks man, For some reason couldn't hear the other videos, pretty nice to have it all in one video too!
The Rev would’ve made a great DC Joker
props to the rev for being an absolute genius and making all those songs up
