Avenged Sevenfold performing Nightmare Live @ Heavy MTLJuly 25th 2010 in Montreal QC, Canada

[Calltoopower]

What was the set list to this song?

[xxxAwesomeViperxxx]

I just watched an interview when Matt talks about this performance and he said that he got most of the lyrics wrong because he was to busy looking at all of the Rev signs. I actually think they did amazing for being their fist time back without The Rev.

[rmxcador]

great:)

[matt21randyrhoads]

Abraham Lincoln deathbat backdrop? badass

[TomWhaley621]

Looking back at this video.. it's a really solid performance. Especially for it being the first time they've ever played the song, and the first 6 minutes they've ever stepped out on stage without The Rev.

[xxlindseyann92xx]

This was their first show/song without the rev, correct?

[Mikaber]

@xxlindseyann92xx Yes! It was an insaane show! :D

[MyMusicObsessed]

@xxlindseyann92xx , if you find out, please tell me. It would make me so much more proud of Montreal. :$

[xxlindseyann92xx]

@MyMusicObsessed Well someone else replied to me saying it was. I'm pretty sure it was... I know for sure that their first show was in Canada.

[TheSupaastar]

criss que c hot tabarnak!

[Wed13AmyDumasJoeyJ]

I Was at this concert that was awesome :D 

[Kaleb673]

NIGHTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!- shadows :)

[martinbaldy]

they have one guitarist who's left handed and one who isn't. they're just like the beatles!

[prlacrosse95]

I love this song!!! The way it sounds and the message about self responsibility. "you should have known the price of evil. It hurts to know that you belong here. Oooh IT'S YOUR F***ING NIGHTMATE"

[ajacieden4life]

the only shitty thing about this video: the REV isn't in it

[annachocolat12]

j'ai manquer ste show lah... :( y sont venu a Montréal pis jai ai manquer :( faut qu'ils reviennent!! :)

r.i.p the Rev -3 foREVer in my heart -3

[Saxonwist]

Aww when I saw them and they opened with this song, there was a guy that jumped off the top lights with a noose around his neck(and of course a harness). Did they only do that during Uproar, or was it because it was indors and a lot more lights cuz it was dark? Hell, I don't know. Great performance here and then none-the-less.

[ajmdrummer]

@Saxonwist because that was TOTALLY a real person. it wasn't a dummy at all

[Saxonwist]

@ajmdrummer That's why I mentioned the harness, Lol. I'm just wondering why that wasn't in this show is all.

[hwysim]

VIVE A7X!!!!!!!!!

[charlysummers]

Its not the same without The Rev........:'( 

[ClarifyTheSituation]

ffs, thats actually pretty decent quality for a hand cam, good job.

[neehsmile]

Synyster gates *-------*

[dieburiedalive1]

Look 3:56 - 4:06 |Travis miguel and Dan jacobs from atreyu deep inside

[cUrSedDaGgeR666]

@RefugeForChris i agree with u..R.I.P The REV...

[cUrSedDaGgeR666]

did portnoy wear sunglasses??

[RefugeForChris]

@unreal1298 Jimmy was so talented wasn't he? He has shown me the love of music and I hope to do the same for others someday.. He was something special.. The good always go so young.

[RefugeForChris]

I'm so glad Portnoy doesn't use Jimmy's set.. It should be put on display in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Although REV was only seen as a great drummer and vocalist, he was soooo talented musically and I wish I had an ounce of his talent.. He completely wrote "Afterlife". By HIMSELF. I would say that is very impressive for one person to write an entire song, composed of several instruments. If there is anyone out in the world that dare disrespect him, they shall be dubbed an idiot.. RIP REV<3

[unreal1298]

@RefugeForChris The whole song Afterlife? Well I knew he wrote Little Piece of Heaven, completely. So that's not surprising. And Fiction. And most of Save Me. And piano for almost every song in their self titled album.

I love Save me... they need to play that live. But it is like 11 minutes long. Maybe it won't happen. :(

[outlaw6066]

Fucked up they had to pull out of Soundwave 2010. They were the reason I bought my ticket.

[MegaRunyon]

mike makes ax7 sound good.

[ScapeJava]

@MegaRunyon The rev made a7x the band it is today.

[SYNLUKEA7X]

3:33 Atreyu watching the :) good to see their mates supporting them

[dcflyboy]

This is his voice WITHOUT any enhancement. Just wow.

[baseballismylyf4]

I really want that Abraham Lincoln monument backdrop tattooed on my back. That thing is pure wicked awesome!

[DOWATTS]

@baseballismylyf4 No you get a huge one put on your back

[TheDaltonator1234]

@Ixirevengeixi watch an interview about him talking about the few first shows then look at his drum cams, does he look fucking bored?

[Ixirevengeixi]

@TheDaltonator1234 First of all calm down buddy... it wasn't intended to be an insult at all.. second I was talking about this video in particular.. not these other shows.. or other songs..

[aksel77wr]

wieso das orange jägermeister-plakat ? :'D

[ItsMeAgain0909]

I really hope synyster smiles a bit more it makes me sad.

[Ixirevengeixi]

Portnoy looks bored as he plays these songs.

[cmsbassman]

@Ixirevengeixi Well, he is one of the best drummers in the world.

[Ixirevengeixi]

@cmsbassman agreed

[2804722]

yeaaah MTL Quebec

[sarahshortie]

3:13 - 3:58 is my fave part of this video!!! <3

[Monst3r199]

whose there drummer now??

[Losttproph3t]

@Monst3r199 Mike Portnoy. He used to be in Dream Theater.

[hacd10]

WTF ARE YOU DOING MIKE??

GO BACK TO DREAM. YOU'RE TOO MUCH FOR THEM!!!

[GoPackers212]

@hacd10 to much for who? to much for a7x?

[dfordens]

fuckin hell, where are their stage amps? I only can see the stage PA...do they have it all trough their headphones?

[vitotorp]

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF AVENGED ARE COMING BACK TO CANADA SOON?!?

[kibarownsual]

4 ppl are having nightmares.

[MrKrush552]

@kibarownsual no, they're being tormented by The Rev because in their sleep he's whispering "Shh, quiet you might piss somebody off"

[EVILREAPER1314]

O....M...G 6 hundred n 66 ppl like thiz haha 666 thtz a pretty good number 2 land on haha i think oh n kant 4 get a7x fukn rockz like badass especially the song nightmare....R.I.P the REV

[BlazeHalifax93]

Even the devil likes this video.... =P

[bcgolfer14]

i wonder if this song is dedicated to the rev?? This song is definatly dedicated to anyone who went to hell for their sins.

[burkkis]

@bcgolfer14 it is not.. this song was made when rev was still alive.. there is a demo version with rev on the drums.. its just with a electric kit played

[Commando126]

140k views and 4 dislikes, now THATS WHAT IM TALKN ABOUT

[slipknotfan670]

R.I.P you will be missed by all

[BORDERLANDSSOLDIER22]

foREver

[yuvalo1]

i wish i could've hear this there! =\

[BORDERLANDSSOLDIER22]

foREVer

[youngsounds1]

The Rev was good AT BEST, Mike Portnoy is GOD on drums, if you dont believe that you obviously know nothing about Mike and Percussion!!!!  Just Saying....A7X is a great group, but Mike Portnoy is too good for them!!!

[sicblister]

@youngsounds1 nobody is "too good" for another band... guess if Portnoy would be the drummer of A7X, maybe they wouldn't be so famous and great...

[youngsounds1]

@sicblister All I am saying is that The Rev was a good part of the band, and the band suffered a great loss, but to have a drummer as tecnical as Mike join their group...of course A7X would be great regardless, But what an addition, their are bands out there who would give anything to have Portnoy as part of their arsenal!!!

[Treeworks211]

Sandy, get over yourself. Avenged Sevenfold are nowhere near heavy metal. As much as I like these guys, I would group them as alternative metal. And no, The Rev was not one of the greatest drummers alive.

[Autovomatic]

R.I.P = Rev is Proud 

[DezertFury]

@Autovomatic Rev Death was the best thing ever happened to the band

[Autovomatic]

@DezertFury I understand where your going with this. Still it is pretty shallow to say though!

[drumsrule786]

@DezertFury How could the death of their childhood friend be good?! and plus he wrote a lot of the songs

[DezertFury]

@drumsrule786 dont give a flying fuck about there childhood, there MUCH better now as a band and that's what i care about

[drumsrule786]

@DezertFury Wow I'm sure that attitude has gotten you far in life

[DezertFury]

@drumsrule786 lets not get childish and flame each other, unlike u i don't have the time for it kiddo

i gave u my 2 cents and I'm out

[JakJoProduction]

@Autovomatic As much as Portnoy is an awesome drummer, he doesn't have the same musical gender as the rev for sure. He's not a bad choice, but Nightmare was a really studio album. He's clearly not enjoying this as much as he enjoyed playing for Dream Theater, for example. Anyways, I liked both drummers, but yea... nyways, it's good to see Rev has a living legacy now. They do not abandon him, in fact they honor all he did for the band by making sure it doesn't die.

[A7XFanaTiX]

Mike Portnoy does a great job drumming for A7X, The Revs idol ! xD R.I.P James Owen Sullivan

[keizen999]

yah!! 4 people are going to hell .. .ahhaha!! it's a nice fucking song !!! like like .. .. very nice voice fuck . .. .ahhaha!!

[keizen999]

yah!! 4 people are going to hell .. .ahhaha!! it's a nice fucking song !!! like like .. ..

[HappyLama82]

4 people r going to burn in hell for disliking

[DrFinkelstein99]

Unfortunately they weren't on Mayhem when I went, but I got to see them later in the Summer A7X at Uproar. They were epic.

[blackheartonfire]

why u all happy about??.. huh,tell me....

[Colbs378]

[jonnyreyn]

Chaz6993X....u known nout about singing see them live and enjoy

[neverquitter]

how come is everyone standing still in their places in welcome to the family of avenged sevenfold?

your fucked up children gotta learn what a audience is like

what a shamee

[deadslutbluewater]

syn looks as pretty as a vagina up there between those two flames

[kurff112]

2:33 fuckin LG rumour, everyone has one

[MrWeaselchild]

they played So far Away for The Rev in Edmonton during Uproar fest.......some guy decided to talk shit about The Rev during that song....he got kicked in the head :)

[JADEandKIBA]

This song is so amazing live!!! I just wish when i was there they would've played Fiction... love that song!!! They performed Victim though and that was amazing!!! So sad...

[Chaz6993X]

-_- They need a new singer

[GraveReaperZ]

@ Whoa! Dude, are you high or something? M.Shadows is beast

[Chaz6993X]

@GraveReaperZ I'm not high, i just have good taste in singers... He's just not good. His cleans are narsty, back when he screamed it scared me. o.O and i listen to some scary sounding music. He tries to be all badass... he's not. lmao

[groovygabriel]

@Chaz6993X Shut up man, M. Shadows is one of the best singers in rock music. This video does him no justice, he is AMAZING life.

[Chaz6993X]

@groovygabriel He's one of the worst clean singers ever. Along with the dude from Papa roach.

[groovygabriel]

@Chaz6993X Whatever you say dude. I've seen him live and I have to respectfully disagree.

[Chaz6993X]

@groovygabriel it's not that he can't sing, its how he sings. He sings threw his throat and nose, which make him sound nasily, which sounds horrible.

[nadfgnjk]

@Chaz6993X i bet you can sing nothing like shads, so please shut the fuck up and dont be a bloody troll. if you think his singing is bad, why bother listening?

[Chaz6993X]

@nadfgnjk I wouldn't want to sing like him, he sings and screams all wrong. You're supposed to sing from your stomach/diaphragm, he sings from his throat and nose.

[nadfgnjk]

@Chaz6993X yeah wtv, prove your better then only you comment about his singing.

[A7Xdude52]

Syn Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CarpeDiemdude135]

portnoy is doing a great job, but its sad that most fans will never have had the chance to see the rev live :( rip rev

[a7xismygod]

Mike Portnoy...my ass.....The Rev is the Best Drummer......He is NoT DEAD....HE iS GOD>....ANd GOD never DIes !!

[DoumdaDoum]

@a7xismygod rev didnt improve the music, in history, at all, he'll never reach any GOOD drummers like carey , portnoy, zeleny etc.. play music and then you can get an opinion ...

[BillyJimmyBobbyTimmy]

@a7xismygod Fuck you, they don't have funerals for living people or God. Mike knows shit that most people have never even dreamt of in music. Mike was Jimmy's hero, not the other way around asshole.

[oscarfcn]

the best drummer of world : Mike Portnoy

[dan08721]

@oscarfcn Mike is In the Top But I have to Give it to Chris Adler From Lamb Of God

[jag5508]

@dan08721 I would agree with Adler but I think Trym Torson from Emperor is even better .

[lovekiakis]

Black , White ,yellow = Humen  right?

[angelottiII]

who's playing the drums now?

[sandymitchellhadley]

@angelottiII Mike Portnoy, Dream Theater's old drummer.. he left them to play with A7X for the tour.. not sure yet if hes permanant though.

[xXViicPewsXx]

I'm so looking forward to the concert I'm going to here in Norway! :D

[Elluen]

They performed it perfectly!!!! Wow!!! A7X FOR LIFE!!!

[krackablack420]

@gregcoffs your an idiot

[mrmikeskidmark]

wow a good quality video thats good

[Eirik36]

at 5:43 and 5:49 on the ALBUM he does voice over like 3 times at different pitches, is it me or does it vaguely sound like the rev?

[A7Xforlife1999]

@Eirik36 yeh the rev did some on the demo so they've taken parts of his tracks i think

[sandymitchellhadley]

@Eirik36 even though The Rev passed away.. (may he rest in peace) they left his vocals in this song.

[dirksqwertn]

Black people are scared of ghosts and shit so don't ever call them a jiggaboo.

[DarkRaidenDrummer]

I have to say this but this is the best song ever!

[TTFAFF]

is it me or Matt Shadows messed up the song? He should say "so sedated as they medicate your brain...." but he repeated the first part '-'

[pol9349884]

@TTFAFF he sorta does that alot lol

[CheeseyMcTaco]

chills through the whole song...

[XxV1R4xX]

@CheeseyMcTaco you want chills? I just heard Fiction by them today... apparently it was Jimmys last song with A7X... go listen to it.

[andrewt67]

Dear shockwavecrisis - let's get somethng straight - MP did NOT get kicked out of Dream Theater - he has left the band - big difference
