[platefilms]

i dont want to sound like the kind of guy that thinks he want a lot of likes but during school and church me and my band played this song im in the army my best friend is dead and i played this song at his funeral now like i said i dont want likes i just want my comment to be up

[Easyman1123]

I can never listen all the way through, I've been following this band since 2004 and when I found out the Rev died, I nearly collapsed. It was like losing a brother, because in my eyes, all aA7X fans and members are part of a huge family. foREVer

RIP Rev

[12345Robin99]

R.I.P. rev

[ToBefoREVerxx]

This song means a lot to me. The Rev is, and will always my insperation. I love him, although I never knew, or met him, I will always love and remember him. He was a true angel on this earth, and a had a pure talent. His death is a definate tragedy and terrible loss in the music world.

Rest in Peace Jimmy, we love you.<3 <3 xxxx

does anyone else besides me notice on the album cover for Nightmare, on the headstone, it says forever, but it emphasizes the REV in the word and makes it clearly seen with no fog?

[Disturbedfreak2013]

This is his suicide note

[xxalienoctopusxx]

@Disturbedfreak2013 he didnt commit suicide

[Disturbedfreak2013]

@xxalienoctopusxx listen to the lyrics you fuck up, he wrote this 3 days before he died

[EeeAreEyeKay]

@Disturbedfreak2013 who knows? it could have been suicide but i dont think this song is a suicide note because he wrote this song when he was in Pinly Smooth. "It has been confirmed in a recent interview that the song "Fiction" from Avenged Sevenfold's 2010 album Nightmare, was initially written in Pinkly Smooth" That is off of the Pinkly Smooth Wiki page

[bafflegabProductions]

@EeeAreEyeKay  You cant trust wiki :P

[EeeAreEyeKay]

@bafflegabProductions yeah i know. I've actually give it some thought and It COULD be a suicide not bc i read what all he took 3 days later and it was a SHITLOAD of pills.... WITH Alcohol. Sooo he pretty much ODed on purpose.

[Kethavain]

@Disturbedfreak2013 He didn't commit suicide, but he knew he will die. That's why he wrote this song... At the first he didn't wanted to record it, but he did.

[setht56]

he was a awsome drummer

[DeadByNight1]

no the rev sung like 97% of the song he didn't drum to it either but u can feel the spirit in the drum beat in the song

[AlchemestKymeron]

Rev... the world is nothing without you... Thumbs up if you agree.

[VasiliaSy]

;( very powerful song in so many ways

[99chrisjc]

..i almost cried.....

R.I.P. the Rev foREVer

[laffytaffy1010101010]

WoW эту песню разве лучше, но вдохновляющий

[FenderAddict93]

Not to be disrespectful or anything but I actually laughed when The Rev sang as if he was high or what. 3:34

He can sing a lot better than that. Ahh well, we miss you REV!

[ZBOYZ17]

[lightingblade5]

this is going to be my funeral song

[j1nz095]

No Dislikes.... That's what I like to see :)

[INGEx84]

You know why I'm so damn grateful that this song was finished and recorded after all? The Rev may not live forever, but his music will. 20 years from now this song will still break my heart every time I hear it. His voice will still scream the same stuff, although the man passed away years ago. Thank you A7X, for letting us experience his last masterpiece, forever.

[bogdanbasag]

lol...i first read on the grave "for rev" :(

[JLS10823]

@linkertmaster Agreed.(:

[linkertmaster]

it sucks balls after 5:18

[523TRITO]

lay off wooly, its his opinion, dont yell at him for not really liking ONE song

[supersoggywaffles]

im with wooly but i love the rev in this song and i love the piano, i just dont like the chorus or anything, but i do like the lyrics a bit

[rlr121]

the rev was amazing in this song

[Hell2863]

@rlr121 dude rev is dead (R.I.P) its Mike Portney

[attackiron1]

yea i think he did commit suicide because when he finished this song he said to the band this is the last song im doing and they were like wtf? next day he was face down in his floor with like 5 different drugs in his body uncluding traces of huffing gas so....... yea :-( ultimate sad face :-(

[REuVEIW]

@attackiron1 3 days later

[jayboyslayer55542]

wooly1996 fuck you

[wowmaster010203]

Rip The Rev

[12134227210]

grr to bad they might never give this live i would give anything to hear this live.guess we gotta wait till god learned to play those drums :D

[wooly1996]

not to sound like a h8r i ddont like this song from them

[BaileyShadows11]

@wooly1996 I should stab you in the face for even saying that

[stube2022]

@wooly1996 HOW DARE U TRY TO INSULT TH REV THIS WAS HIS LAST SONG AND ITS IRONIC REV DIED WEN A7X WAS GETTING A WHOLE LOT MORE FAMOUS

[yasorachi]

@stube2022 OMG hes dead...hes really dead...i loved him...so much...

[keybladedudeman]

@wooly1996 cmon man thats just disrespectfull the guy is dead ffs

[rlr121]

a7x is the shiz

[PetFamily777]

RIP Rev(: All your fans miss you!

[1309Johnsama]

I absoulutly LOVE this song ! This album is a masterpeice !!! Love a7x!

[syncroe591]

well...this song isn't their best song, i thinks its just over exaggerated because it was the Rev's last, this isnt a dis to Jimmy, its a clarification that saying its the best isnt making the song better, and your just making people hate it because you over glorify it

[66punkrocker]

wat other song is the rev in..in nightmare

[BloodsoakedBystander]

lOoXx<3REV<3xXoOl

[A7Xdude52]

this song is awsome and all u haters can go and listen to something else, this is not the rev's suicide note, R.I.P Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan

[xxUnrealAcexx]

Is that the Rev's voice synthed!?!?!? So fucking nuts.

[bunsenhoneydew111]

@xxUnrealAcexx No its his real voice hes so awesome he could make it sound whatever he wanted

[12398716]

<3 <3 rip the rev <3 <3

[darthsasuke554]

The Rev kinda sucks at singing if this is him singing

[kyliejean228]

@darthsasuke554 then dont listen to it and keep ur rude comments to urself, this song is very sentimental jerk..

[darthsasuke554]

@kyliejean228 did i ever say the song was bad

i just said he wasnt good at singing...call the fucking cops

[hobbomanomg]

The rev Was so epic >3<

[ShellShock794]

foREVer

[AmbassadorHater]

Fun fact: the cocktail by which Jimmy committed suicide was extremely similar in its ingredients to an actual Brompton Cocktail. Difference being, Oxymorphone took the place of Heroin, but both are very strong opioids and effectually similar. Anyway, depressing but nevertheless an interesting coincidence.

[XelaSteele]

@AmbassadorHater Considering the fact that Jimmy wrote Brompton Cocktail... it doesn't surprise me. It's very depressing... :(

[bedofskeletons]

Ugggh Jimmy why aren't you here anymore

[WWECage89]

@EyesofFiction Well they did have this song Live, but whoever posted it must have had it taken down -_- it was live in London. Shit.. it was really good too. but whatever I'm not gonna argue anymore. The greatness of the song and of A7X is all that matters. ^^

[blarghonk25]

I shed a tear know this is the last song that the Rev will be in

R.I.P you'll be foREVer missed

[WWECage89]

@xcrookedearsx & @danshadows22 I know what the book says, Jimmy diid write the lyrics. Believe what you will, but its an extreme close call. If you watch a Live performance of this song, you will see what I mean. You just have to listen closely.

[CheeseFrittata]

@WWECage89 if it was live then maybe matt did it but that would only be because the rev is dead

[WWECage89]

@CheeseFrittata I know the Live performance was Matt. I was talking about how Matt sings the lyrics in the recorded version. Its both Matt & Jimmy singing.

[WWECage89]

@IcoTheBest Theres not a bad part in this song.. or any of A7X songs, but I can see what you mean at 3:34. Matt kinda mumbles the words.. lol. Nontheless the song still very much kicks ass. X)

[danshadows22]

@WWECage89 nah, thats the rev, and he mumbles casue this was a demo tape with his voice on that they wanted to use, plus i like that part as well, and nout can let this song down.

[WWECage89]

@danshadows22 Not to argue, lol.. but there is no way that part at 3:34 is Jimmy singing. I know the difference between Matt and Jimmy's voice, and thats Matt singing. Jimmy does sing in this song when, when him and Matt both say...

Jimmy & Matt : Let it burn, under my skin..

Jimmy: Let it BUUURRNN!!!

[xcrookedearsx]

@WWECage89 at 3:34 is Jimmy at 3:40 is matt

[WWECage89]

Avenged Sevenfold will live on... foREVer

[danshadows22]

@WWECage89 just checked out what people have said on the other 'fiction' videos and at 3:34 that IS the rev. also i have the book of nightmares edition of this album and highlighted in red are the lyrics the rev sung, of which the lyrics at 3:34 are highlighted.

[IcoTheBest]

I HATE the vocals at 3.34... That little part ruins the entire song!

[Penis626]

this song was actually written several years ago as a song for pinkly smooth, a second band that the rev and syn made, he just polished it up

[63HT]

He put the REV in Forever.

[megababby]

RIP the rev u may be gone but we still love u man <3 I love yah man

[stevezz101]

R.I.P the REV on of the best songs he did

[rawritsevan]

@RawrGrFLeme he did vocals to the whole song and played the piano and drums that are in it xD

[ikeeln00bz]

@rawritsevan you're retarded, the Rev didn't do all the vocals. he wrote the lyrics yeah, but his vocals are probably 40-50%% of this song

[rawritsevan]

@ikeeln00bz Shut up!

[rowzy666]

@ikeeln00bz noob2life learn to read

[SomeWizardyShit]

@ikeeln00bz he did do the vocals they are just double with m shadows

[uwishuwerme14]

@ikeeln00bz They're actually the higher pitched vocals you hear...

[bradford455]

@ikeeln00bz actually its more like 90-95%. if you listen, him and M.Shadows are both singing harmonies. the only time he is not singing is when shadows does that one verse starting at 3:48

[Halo3TricksFan152]

@bradford455 if you look in the CD booklet where the lyrics are, there are some fonts that are in red. those are the parts that The Rev sings, and there's about a verse or so of him singing. then the chorus.

[bradford455]

@Halo3TricksFan152 yes but that just shows where he sings on his own. but during the whole song he is singing the high part with Shadows

[Halo3TricksFan152]

@bradford455 it's a little difficult to tell the difference, but its Shads' voice doing most of the high parts. but we may never know

[MrA7Xfan13]

@ikeeln00bz actually rev did some vocals, like seriously.

[trumpeter72395]

@ikeeln00bz but still it was the last song he recorded

[platefilms]

@ikeeln00bz ok i know this is 10 months ago but still this is his last song he was in that was what he was getting at i dont want to be that dick who just wants to prove people wrong but i mean come on this song is like a memorial for the Rev so lets just enjoy the music

[theadh23]

this song makes me want to do drugs but the bad drugs and i think i want to stab myself jimmy was the shit sux he died and im deff not dissing him

[DeathBat1488]

@theadh23 dont do drugs. I do them. Trust me when you run out life is a bitch .

[RawrGrFLeme]

@palsrdumb Uhh. He only sung the chorus. Which he didnt write. The lead singer sung the parts you lyric'd. :)

[ZachT125]

@RawrGrFLeme yeah the rev wrote this song for a side project band that he was in a while ago bro

[cowies101]

i cried

[tiger62432]

@cowies101 i wanted to, but im a man so i didnt

[thedarkenedreflex]

May God smite the soul of those who dislike this.

[thedarkenedreflex]

Best song I've ever heard.

Enough said.

[TaquitoStand]

My favorite song from this album, and what a treat it is to hear Jimmy's voice again :/ One of the best drummer's to live in my opinion. This is song is pure awesomeness.

[gamekidps2]

pretty good song



[THEUNICORNSRUS]

before the rev died the song was called death but wen he died they changed the name to fiction RIP REV

[palsrdumb]

I think he some how managed to kill himself... read the lyrics so much of it can be connected to suicide "How this world can overcome a man" "Gave you all I had to give Found a place for me to rest my head While I may be hard to find Heard there's peace just on the other side" "Left this life to set me free Took a piece of you inside of me All this hurt can finally fade Promise me you'll never feel afraid" "I hope it's worth it" read all the lyrics and listen to the song, youll see

[GuitarTrombone93]

@palsrdumb I agree. he wrote this song 3 days befoe he was found dead. AND, the rest of A7x titled the song Fiction. The Rev originally titled it Death

[McSFraNtic71]

@palsrdumb actually i read the whole revolver magazine dedicated to this album and this band and it turns out that he basically predicted his death... he wrote this like 2 weeks before he died and they actually put a bunch of recordings of him into the song... i think he really just knew that he would eventually meet his end because of all of the drinking and partying and drugs :/

[TomKaulitzLover97]

@McSFraNtic71 Yes. I do not think Jimmy would kill himself. He seemed like such a happy person and wouldn't M Shadows have know something was up? I mean, they were like brothers. They wrote stuff about suicide and drugs all the time, and I just think Jimmy's death was a HUGE accident that never should have happened. He was always drinking, and the combination of prescription drugs and alcohol did him in. D:

[cowies101]

@palsrdumb i agree wouldnt let it burn under my skin let it burn be associated with the fact he shoots up. I think it was suicide. Good point.

[jpmbtt]

@palsrdumb yeah this was his suicide note, he took a bunch of pain killers and alcohol

[WakeUpPeopleStudios]

@palsrdumb how bout you stfu the rev didnt kill himself dont make shit up like that when most of the people on the video know waaay more than you alright?

[donalj100]

@palsrdumb and the fact the song was originally called death and he changed it to fiction which was a nickname of his.

[bizarreones]

@palsrdumb thats a good theroy, but the doctors told him he was gonna die soon, so thats why he made the song. he knew he didnt have much time left on this earth.

R.I.P.

REV

[A7XSLIPKNOT100]

@palsrdumb and to top it off, HE himself wrote the lyrics

[Yodler720]

@palsrdumb i think he killed himself to be the knife master o wait he already was

[opacid]

@palsrdumb maybe not, we could probably follow the Disney kids the same way.

[Boogiesnake001]

@palsrdumb WOA wats wrong with u y would he kill himself thats stupid think about it,there doin such a good job and he kills himself no bro its to sad for him to kill himself hopefully he didnt kill himself theres a review somewhere with synyster in germany and he said rev liked to experiment with drugs and he might of drank a little to much cuz of their celebration (IDK wat) its in a website idk wat but its in a vid f a7x lyrics i think

[Boogiesnake001]

@palsrdumb o dancing dead lyrics it says dancing dead lyrics foREVer hell tell u in the vid

[eternalrestfoReVer]

@palsrdumb he didnt write all the lyrics, he wrote the ones he did sing but was goin to get m shadows to help him finish the lyrics

[XelaSteele]

@palsrdumb I think he took his life, because he was hurting inside... and I also think he told the band members about his decision. And in the end they decided to not let that information go public, with the exception of this song perhaps making a hint, leading the fans to think for themselves. But I guess we'll never really know.

[Broly17]

The best song on the album I think

[x0volcom]

@Broly17 i think that as well,its a great song and the piano riff really adds to the creepy lyrics and the album work. Awesome song.

[Irie2286]

the first time i played this, i honestly felt chills...esp. when Rev sings...i have yet to get used to the fact that he's gone...i really haven't...and this brought it all back

foREVer

[SpaceFarmProductions]

@Irie2286 mate same here! its fucked up! Amazing song and what a gift to leave everyone! truly fantastic!

[finallieofhorror]

IT'S FUKIN AWSOME!!!!!!!!!! so sad tho

[xgoesundefinedx]

Such a sad and a beautiful song..

R.I.P. The Rev <3

[TheJewishEmos]

3:49 is the last thing he ever recorded

[finallieofhorror]

It's like the new dear god also so far away fiction remindes me of friend who died 2 years ago when I waz 9 -:( sniff sniff I cried from this it's the only song that ever made me cry it's dedicated to the rev R.I.P
