  • Song

  • Portnoy sucks. Instead of improving do what they want you to do and play the

  • You're pretty much not human if you don't cry when your best friend dies....Let it out!

  • i cried when i watched this :'(

  • jimmy RIP

  • At 5:32 it isn't The Rev's voice studio off, is the real voice of jimmy, he sings with matt to the heaven ...

  • every time i hear this song...tears just start to form in my eyes. Its still hard to believe hes gone from this world

  • I like Portnoy, but he just fucked up the drums in afterlife.

  • @TheDoingYourMom1

    Wth, hes not fuckin up?

  • @TheNorwegianEmo I'm sorry, that means that you agree with me or disagree? xD

  • @TheDoingYourMom1

    I disagree lol :p

  • i think if we grow to be a fraction of the man that is The Rev, we'll all be more than set for life. you know how amazing he was and still is when you're one out of millions who love a man they have havent even met yet. disappointing to know that i wont get to see him in this life, but maybe in my afterlife =)

  • my favorite part of the whole song <3

  • syn is using a mad ass guitar!!

  • Very Good, Thanks!

    A7X Live Toronto 2010 DVD in: ww.livein.es

  • The Rev was God's best creation! Rest In Peace Jimmy, We Miss You

  • The Rev was God's best creation! Rest In Peace Jimmy, We Miss You

  • We can't have him back, god can't give him back cause Jimmy stole his throne.

  • Do you think syn shits himself everytime it comes up to playing that insane solo! God damn that solo sends shivers up my spine everytime i hear it! especially when its live!

    That backdrop is brilliant too! awsome touch to 2 awsome songs!

  • readin the comments make me wanna cry!!! GOD can we please have Jimmy back?? we love u foREVer♥

  • We Love You! You Were Ready! The Pain is Strong and Urged Rise, But We See You! Your Pain is Gone, Your Hands Untied!... SO FAR AWAY!... and WE need you to know!! So far awaay!... AND WE NEED YOU TO [NEED YOU] TO KNOOW!!!!

    REV! WE FCKING MISS YA! COME BACK! R.I.P. OUR KNIFE MASTER...

  • the rev is hiding behind and singing... :(

  • we miss you , JIMMY ! come back :/

  • I watched this video just to see what they would do with the Rev's vocals. So glad to hear them use the audio from the ablum, the songs are bland without them. It's so difficult to sing like him, I doubt anyone could pull it off.

  • he didnt wipe his eye he had a pick in his mouth cause he was playing with his fingers and then got it to play the solo but its whatever :)

  • idk but i think since the last part is the most powerful, and concidering the fact that he wrote it, syn should of sang it instead of shads

  • That solo is so fucking beautiful, Brian truely gave the rev the best send off.

  • it doesnt sound right without him....

  • the so far away solo is one of the most passionate solos ive ever heard in my life its up there with the one zakk wylde did for dimebag

  • AGH. I can't help but cry. I miss Jimmy. </3

  • I love to hear the Rev's voice at 5:32

  • OMG! I missing you Therev

  • R.I.P. FICTION T_T

  • goosebumps through the whole song, and when i saw that back drop i had tears well up in my eyes.

  • that is so great that they but jimmy's vocals in afterlife i got goosebumps just hearing that

  • where's zacky? :O

  • Shit, something passed through my soul when the rev's voice recording screamed "I need another chance to live!". Shit im crying man

  • Comment removed

  • @sergiop753 same here .____.♥

  • Syn got hes glasses. Noone sees if he feels a tear.

  • scariest avenged sevenfold video ever. i had a goosebump at 5.30 till the end of the video.

  • @burn91 i fucking cryed

  • @burn91 MAN TEARS GODDAMNIT

  • they kept his vocals?????????:D

  • Man M Shadows Has Gotten Amazing at Vocals!

  • @VengeanceTelevision i know right

  • calamitie's right.

    i thought he was crying but

    hes picking his pick D:

  • goosebumps every time...

  • hair on my neck went up when m shadows says 'got nothing against you, and jimmy ill miss you' on the afterlife. so sad :(

  • I saw in an other video, Johnny was looking to the rev's picture and Matt gives him a hug :'(

  • @A7Xjeremie what video, please tell me i want to see it!

  • @GeorgiaDrummer55 buried alive at the heavy mtl its at the begining

  • that picture is the background on my laptop 

  • @Pottsonapoop32 link to it?

  • where does jimmy sing that?

  • @MONSTERDT2112 the part before the solo....the screams

  • thumbs up if u think 5:31-5:49 is the best part of afterlife

  • Jimmy is fucking missed. if he would come back to life i dont fucking care if his a fucking zombie i just wan him back. Synys guitar rocks. RIP REV

  • Hearing Jimmy in the background before the solo honestly made me cry

  • :´(

  • if anyone dislikes this they derseve to go to hell

  • @nightmarea7xrev there are zero dislikes man. fuck yeah

  • this could not have been an easy gig for them to play

  • @WFR This has also got to be one of the hardest songs for them to play. Especially Synyster.

  • sean011192 you're too dumb.

    he is picking the palette.

  • oh my god, in the chorus of afterlife he goes " Got Nothing against you, and Jimmy i'll miss you" That must have been one of the hardest bits of the song for him, hairs on the back of my neck etc! Brilliant show.

  • @arran8910 i felt tears well up in my eyes and i shivered when he said that and seeing the banner in the back

  • @arran8910 I cryed, i miss him

  • what i dont get is i have never met the rev never seen him in person yet i am soooooooooo sad when ever i listen to his music he was one of the best drummers ever and will definatly be missed. thumbs up if u miss jimmy the rev sullivan

  • the fuck i havent cried so hard with music before. why he leave =(

  • I swear to fucking god. When I read the lyrics of fiction. It seems and all the stuff relates to the rev somewhat already telling us he's dead or planning to vanish from us. Shads told us in an interiew that jimmy said he wasn't gonna live past 30 and create masterpiece music. He was right both ways. He is our god. I'm getting tatoos for him. Rest in piece our fallen brother Jimmy Sullivan

  • Portnoy

  • @TheThim51 Is a fucking legend!!!

  • @turban196 well said

  • "Unbreak me, Unchain me, I need another chance to live". 5:10 - The Rev I have never questioned God's athority, But WHY HIM!

  • johnny cant stop stareing at the drums. johnny misses the good times when the rev would beat him up and torcher him when he was in kindergarten

  • That was such an amazing show, especially that it was their first without The Rev. R.I.P. man, they did you justice with the new album.

  • beautiful!! :'')

  • god, i got major chills when i heard jimmy singing, sucks that hes gone

  • shame shadows cant hit the high notes in so far away, none the less an amazing performance

  • @BlackDiamond351

    i think he was probably too emotional =[

  • @selbyboy no i think he just couldn't hit em' cos they're pretty high lol. but he would' ve been emotional yeah

  • RIP Jimmy we Love you <3

  • he's so far away from us , man Im gonna fucking cry :'(

    R.I.P Jimmy The Rev Sullivan ! You will be foREVer in our hearts

    I Feel like I Lost a brother , you were/are fucking awesome man , your my inspiration

    you were an awesome writer and person .. masterpiece :)

  • why was the Pyro off sync???

  • I'm so sad that I can't hear Jimmy sing at live

  • i really miss jimmy . like watching his videos on youtube of him being a ninja lol ... but i hope these guys keep making music together forever because there talent level is of the chart a7x foREVer

  • The Drummer should just stay with them...R.I.P. The Rev

  • @ReverseMyCurse1 he cant he has to go back to dream theater and make a new album for 2011

  • the voice around 4:20-4:30 is awesome lmao

  • i see mike portnoy playing, but i hear jimmy. rip the rev

  • @marioman60659 same here man :(

  • it must be hard for the band to hear there brothers voice in afterlife when he is no longer with them/us

  • an 0:19 syn is crying as he plays the solo, he wipes his eye before he starts the solo

  • @sean011192 he puts his pick back in his hand brotha

  • @sean011192 Don't want to disappoint you, but he's just grabbing the pick out of his mouth. Wouldn't be surprised if he was crying though, pretty emotional song. :)

  • @sean011192 he prolly is crying but the clean part before the solo is finger picked, he grabbed his pick from his mouth

  • @sean011192 he is grabbing his fucking pick that is at his mouth...= =....

  • @sean011192 Awh I almost started crying when I noticed that

  • @sean011192 hes taking the pick out of his mouth dude

  • @sean011192 Syn had the pick in his mouth, you can tell he was finger picking at the little transition before the solo. He reached up to grab the pick.

  • @sean011192 *Facepalm*

  • @sean011192 you fucking idiot

    i mean

    i can understand why he would cry but

    that is not what he is doing

    he was finger picking the part and he had the pick in his mouth and he was grabbing it out not crying

  • @sean011192 uh he takes the pick out of his mouth

  • @sean011192

    He almost always scratches his eye before a solo...

  • @sean011192 I could see him crying fo this song, but he is grabbing his pick from his mouth, he was finger Picking before the solo

  • @sean011192 im pretty sure he's taking his pick out his mouth to start the solo

  • @KamiRoberts why would he touch his upper face by his eye? and why wouldnt he hve his pick alrdy? 

  • @sean011192 If i'd lost someone that close to me and was playing a song dedicated to his legacy. I'd have been crying long before the solo.

  • @sean011192 He didn't wipe his eye, he took a pick out of his mouth. You can see it in videos that are filmed closer.

  • @sean011192 he's takin the pick that it's in his mouth..

  • I wonder how hard that was for them to play a sad song like that especially with jimmy's banner in the backround like that. I wouldve definately teared up a bit if I was there. Call me a loser but I would have.

  • syn messed up the solo....he went into last part too early

  • live already

    hell yeah tht means 1 more month!!@#$% i got their cd the day it came out n i memorized the lyrics that day!

  • this song... it reminds me of my grandma. She passed and this songs reminds of her some how.

  • Jimmy is not dead...He show to Jesus and God How to Play DRUMS....

  • right before the solo

    

  • does anyone have tabs for the guitar at the begining

  • @dimebagshreds2000 The chords are just Em, G, D, B, C

    chorus is just Em, G, Am, Em, D

    gotta listen for the others

  • @kpkyle i know but i meant the arpeggio, but i figured it out. but thanks anyways

  • "I hope you find your own way when I'm not with you" - James "The Rev" Sullivan (FICTION) R.I.P. Jimmy. The world misses you so much. 1981-2009

  • we love u jimmy

  • every fucking song of them... give me chills..

  • the rev's part in afterlife gave me chills dude.

  • MIKE

  • wow they're so amazing live!!!! I really wanted to see them live and they're planning to come here in FL soon, and I won't be able to go :( but oh well, maybe next time. ♥♫

  • I have so much respect for Mike for doing this, as fucking amazing as he is at all of The Rev's songs, it's just not the same. But he's fucking immense :)

    I can't wait to see them in November in the UK :D

  • @A7XShadowzx I hear that. No one will ever touch the rev but if you could have one guy fill in Mike Portnoy is the guy to do it. Stand up dude helping these guys out in such a hard time.

  • Oh goodness it broke my heart when they began playing afterlife without rev in drums and then his vocals...

  • ONE OF THE INFINITE REASONS I LOVE A7X IS BEACUSE THEY SOUND SIMILAR LIVE AND ON THE CDS

  • I would give anything to have been at this concert ! :/

  • i sympathize really heavily..my old bands bassist past away and we went up on stage to play...and we were 2 guitarists and a drummer...and I just walked off stage and went home

  • syn didn't look too excited RIP Rev

  • @Deathbat7777777 maybe because he is playing his song for jimmy..

  • i cant help wondering wat this album would have been like if the rev was still alive

  • @Bblackfairy, F***in' awesome, that's what it would have been like.

  • WOW C'est la chanson écrite par synyster pour Jimmy

    ='(

  • my heart ackes with pain when I hear this song...

    jimmy you will forever be in our hearts...

  • I feel cheated- like the Rev had some amazing songs that he was secretly developing, and now the world will never hear them.

  • R.I.P The Rev

  • I wanted to cry whenever I watched this video. This is an amazing song, and just knowing what the lyrics are about....it's sad. R.I.P. Jimmy. You'll be in our hearts forever.

  • what the fuck is wrong with Syn and Zacky ? ... they were separated all the show ): ... and Zacky seems he is really bored

  • @Prici95 i was in front of Zacky and he looked sad...

  • @Prici95 their playing songs that bring memories of the rev to mind so they tryin hard as fuck not to cry during the concert

  • @dmoneyjr95 yes they can feel really hard, but what can MAtt say? if he'd start to cry suddenly he'd just break the show, at the moment he should keep the band together!!!KEEP UP GUYS THE FANS ARE WITH YOU!!Rock in peace my brother Jimmy:) We'll see u soon

  • @Prici95 They were probably still beat up bout Rev. This was their first concert with out him. It may take a couple of shows to get back to the way we know them to be.

  • @Prici95 Prob sad.

  • some people need to calm down yeahh we miss jimmy but some people take it to far its not like your personally knew him

  • @coldplayspeedofsound true, i love him as a drummer as musician, but its bit disrespectful to the ppl who knew him personally and say all over the internet, i cried so much etc etc

  • it's syn's guitar gray and black ?

  • @m1X4S

    He was swapping guitars the whole show. He did have one that was black and gray out a few times. Fantastic performance. I was in the front two rows for the whole glorious hour they were up.

  • NICE GUITAR SYN!

  • Hearing Jimmy sing "I need another chance to live" is seriously the most heartbreaking thing I have ever heard.

  • @RealSynyster It's so true he does need anotherr chance to live :'(

  • @RealSynyster when is he singing that?

  • @3xp3ri3nc3 5:44 in the backup singing that was sadly recorded, not live playing :'(

  • @spendizzzle yes, sadly :(

  • @RealSynyster I deff agree with you!! Like whenever listen 2 buried alive,fiction or save me I want 2 cry!!

  • Mike has some huge shoes to fill.

  • @TheFiveMinuteWarning lol no he doesn't Mike is up there with the best drummers in the world

  • I love you Guys, foREVer with you! <3

  • the drums in afterlife seemed sooo way different. you all know what im sayin'.. even it is the same arrangement, just.. its not the rev's loyal hands playing it.. soo.. WE MISS YOU! <3 RIP.

  • @idontgiveashit38 yeah man i know what you mean, it sounds diffrent but its not

  • @idontgiveashit38 dude shut up, portnoy is more than capable of playing it in the style of the rev.

  • @mrbubbleskung dude, thats not what im trying to say. what is im trying to say was, theres a different between the rev's drum & portnoy's. im a fan of avenged and so not a hater of portnoy.. we cant never see the rev's twirling the drum set anymore. there's no more the rev to sing back up while drumming. know what im saying? :)
