  • Arin is a pretty god damm good drummer. But not better than the rev.

  • A7x foREVer

    

  • well we now know no1 compares to the rev :(

  • I still freakin miss Jimmy. So damn much. But Arin is a great second to him :3 He can't compare and he can't take Jimmy's place but I dont think he was ever ment to fill in for The Rev. He's helping the band. I love all of the guys to bits. I hope the more videos I watch the more accepting I'll be on Arin. I'm still half-and-half at the moment dont get me wrong, he's a great guy but Jimmy still occupies most of my heart drummer-wise foREVer <3

  • You cannot replace The Rev, but you can give A7X Arin Ilejay.

  • OMG ITS REV JR!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

  • Can anybody think of someone else to be Avenged Sevenfolds drummer??

    I think Arin Ilejay would be the best

  • i prefer mike portnoy :/

  • I've been a fan of avenged since day one. But if they continue to make albums with this poser, i disown myself from the family.

  • @DrummerTSherry Go for it. I doubt they need a dumb ass like you for a fan.

  • @G18c Yup, dumb ass fan, just like me.

  • Did anyone else notice that when they started the song off originally it was in a key half a step lower than the rest of the video? It was like nails on a chalkboard for me

  • Welcome to the family Arin. Glad your a part of all this. I think Rev would agree.

  • he needs to get a tatoo in memory of the Rev R.I.P

  • @drummer9642 Why?

  • i still miss the rev :'( but welcome to the family nonetheless arin

  • he kind of reminds me of my friend nara

  • 1 thing if synyster gates or zaky v died i want to be the guitarist

  • i hate matt shadows doin it on 0:32-0:35

    

  • @mrpokek10 why?

  • All he need is Muscles and Tattoos

  • @rylpn What i know and seen The Rev wasnt any of the muscle kind :D

  • now when is he gonna get a shit load of tattoo like the rest of them? LOL jk

  • @maxburnabee tomorrow :D

  • Arin..... WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!

  • the kid's got talent

  • Welcome To The Family Aryn

  • Good job Arin,keep it up and Welcome to the family!!!

  • Most of u people are PatheticLosers. Arins Fam.. Ur not the talented one busting ur A** off. Get real.while u people are hating i will be visiting with Arin tomorrow..im sure u wouldnt be tlkin ur shizz if u were in my shoes lter.

  • he kinda looks like a sell out to me tbh

  • It's not like you're from Avenged Sevenfold. And I can agree, the REV would be so proud.

  • lol, imagine if this fag dies aswell :D

  • @praride Dude, just because you haven't got anything better to do doesn't mean that you can go around hating on people that are much more talented than you at anything, and that have achieved to get in one of the most amazing fucking bands ever, that's much more than you will do in your whole life, so if you don't mind, go hate somewhere else...

  • @praride if he dies the everybody will be sad, but if you die everybody will be happy.

  • @rauatorres everybody ?

  • @praride yes.

  • @rauatorres i lol'ed when the emo died..that doesn't make everybody :D

  • @praride ? i dont see any emo here.

  • Comment removed

  • If arron got a tatto i bet Rev would go" I'll call you mini me."

    sure he cant make up for Rev but hes trying to make it so that people forget about it and move on because thats all he really can do so dont trash him. he has a talent and hes trying to embrace it. if you were a good guitar player and synyster died would you like it if people trashed you for trying to fix a band that we all love?

  • I heard about Arin Ilejay and after seein him do his thing. I got mad respect for him and I'm glad he's a part of the family now. Everyone knows even Ilejay himself said he cant replace The Rev. The Rev is always gonna be a part of us A7X fans in our hearts. I wish this guy here good luck and nothin but success.

  • EPIC

  • Arin you need tatoo.

  • the REV would be proud

  • sorry but mike is way much better ans ax7 kick him because was ax7 n portnoy ho as musician is much bigger

  • Arin is sloppy... I don't like him.

  • Arin still isn't permanent, although it seems most likely he will become so.

  • Btw, just letting you know, i know this guy personnaly, it was really strange when i found out he was teh new drummer. i was liek wtf O.o

  • @alsmang You mean, you didn't knew he was so good?

  • where can i download that show??

  • Another sexy as hell guy

  • arin looks like my uncle O.O

  • This guy's the perfect choice for their new drummer. I'm pretty sure Jimmy is proud of his skill. He's not some super big-named drummer like Portnoy. He's fresh, new, and has some major skills on the instrument. People who are constantly claiming he will "never replace" Jimmy need to calm down and realize that moving on is probably exactly what Jimmy would have wanted the band to do. I'm getting tired of how much people are idolizing The Rev just because he's passed on.

  • Arin Illejay is a nice guy if anything, he was the guy that got me on with TRX cymbals and got me started with them. I feel hes doing a great job with A7X.

  • It sucks, right when they hire the guy, the band goes on break.

  • This kid has some major shoes to fill.

  • Nice... the original drumer of ''CONFIDE'' and now is the new drumer of A7X

    Great, nice choice 

  • I have a question like who has the drummer seat of A7X? Arin, or Mike? I just don't know

  • @sammythe110 mike helped in recording of new album and in few shows, Arin is the new drummer.

  • @sammythe110 Arin. Mike just offered to play with them for a while and he did. They didnt find Arin until after.

  • @TheXXxMickeyxXx Actually, Mike left Dream Theater to stay with with A7X but they didn't wanted him to be perm member because he was way older and had a different style of songs and druming so they just ended his deal like it firstly was suposed to be and they picked up someone younger , Arin. Check out interviews sometimes :P

  • we need to give our respect to Arin because if we dont respect him its disrespecting avenged sevenfold. hes part of the family and you talk shit about 1 of them you talk shit about all of them. give him your respect because shit, hes fucking kick ass drummer and i love that kid. he wont replace jimmy but no1 can nor is. Arin is taking his own place in the family and Avenged chose him for a reason so lets respect that. thank you.

  • Well, we all know that The REV (Jimmy Sullivan) was the best drummer in the entire fucking world, but everybody gotta die sometime so he took his death and then a new drummer came in, not replacing Jimmy but finishing what Jimmy has started,got on with them and now he's the drummer. Jimmy would be proud of this guy so stop hating him! He has very good skills and he knows the rhythm very good so just continue to listen to Avenged Sevenfold as Arin Llejay came in and continued Avenged Sevenfold!

  • When Bon Scott passed, Brian Johnson came. When Cliff Burton passed, Jason Newsted came. When Hillel Slovak died, John Frusciante came. I'll always miss The Rev, but Arin Ilejay is nonetheless a badass, and is here!

  • @MeTaLLiCaT8282 exactly right. Brian johnson still jokes today that 'Ive been doing this for the best part of 30 years, and people still prefer the other guy!'

  • OMG, THIS Guy is GOOD!!! DID YOU SEE HOW HE PLAYED THE DRUMS EVEN WHEN HE WASN'T MOVING?!!? what kind of black magic fuckery is this?!?

  • @vegetafan100 lol

  • @restinpiece11 read the top comments, everyone's already established that.

  • he really good but he cannot replace The Rev

  • Fuck yeah!

    

  • I will support a7x through anything, but I really wish they kept portnoy for longer :/ think of the stuff they could have created!!

  • Arin will never be a replacement, ever. But i do love the kid. Jimmy would be proud. Welcome To The Family<3

  • While Rev is beyond irreplacable, I would very much like to welcome Arin to our giant, fucked-up, disfunctional family

  • @grifballa this needs more likes really it does

  • @sherrycremeans yeah it is a really good video

  • Comment removed

  • I choose Arin over A7X breaking up

  • his face looks like mesut ozil, hahaha lol

  • this kid fucking sucks...he's an insult to The Rev

  • Hey they honored Jimmy alot in Nightmare music video...you never see the Arin once throughout the video though you see Zacky Johnny Syn and M

  • @nicothesuave That might be because Arin was not seen on A7X

  • great drummer

  • Welcome to the Family!

  • great at intro! good joob arin.

  • First time I've seen a vid with him.. It made me really sad :(

    RIP Jimmy foREVer in our hearts <3

  • why are people so pissed that they got a new drummer. It came down to find a new drummer or lose avenged sevenfold for good. Although it was disappointing portnoy couldn't stay he went in as just a temporary drummer. No one will ever replace the rev because he was a one of a kind but it was either get a new drummer or lose avenged sevenfold, take your pick right?

  • Grow up you little bitches. The Rev is gone and yes, I too think it's something that shouldn't have happened, Jimmy was one of the people I idolized for many different reasons but I'm happy to see that A7x didn't give up on their fans and honored Jimmy with their latest album Nightmare. They couldn't have played their songs live or continued to entertain us if the great and almighty Mike Portnoy did not back them up in their hour of need and Arin Ilejay when Mike left. Welcome Arin to the family

  • Oh Gawd... you people are so fuckin over dramatic. You all sound like my 7 year old sister when NSYNC broke up. The Rev was fucking awesome, and was definitely one of my idol's. Sometimes rockstars die young though... it happens. It's happened to many a great bands in the past. You move on... you learn to love the musician who moves in after the fact. You didn't lose a family member, you didn't lose a friend... a drummer in your favorite band died.

  • Where r them tattoos ?

  • he really looks like mesut ozil

  • i just like arin :)

  • arin looks like a lovable little boy <3 ;D

  • ele é bom mas the rev é the rev

  • Oh, stop that "The Rev can't be replaced" shit. Really, is getting old. Nobody can't be replaced, every single human being is unique. The Rev is resting in peace, I hope he's in heaven and all that, but you have to stop that. He's gonne and not "we", but THE BAND has, cause WE will follow them with The Rev or with Mike Portnoy or this guy or another one. yeah, The Rev was great and the original drummer, but A7X has to continue... That's all.

  • okay people NOBODY is EVER gonna replace The Rev allright we agree on that, but A7X has to move on. it doesnt mean we are leaving The Rev behing BECAUSE WE ARE NOT, we are just moving on and yeah it feels weird not to see Jimmy behind those drums anymore but we dont have to hate on the kid, he is not replacing anybody he is takin his own place into the family, and he has a lot of skill and im sure Jimmy would be proud of him. so stop hating on him.

    foREVer <3 gone but never forgoten <3

  • @BloodyNightmare6661 I'm sure Rev would have welcomed him into the family <3

  • @alaPaolaChavezz im pretty sure he would have <3 and i know he is soemwere on Heaven smiling and thanking Arin for helping and supporting the band <3

    foREVer <3

  • @BloodyNightmare6661 Totally true. People arent like animals. Animals can be replaced (and that's already hard by itself.). For the band to keep on, they needed a new drummer. They just couldnt stop right here, when they're still young. If they like what they do (and im sure they really love it), they need to move on. Rather having a kid behind these drums instead of Jimmy than seeing the avenged sevenfold's end.

    R.I.P Jimmy <3

  • @ImDeaTh1234 yeah, Arin is not repacing anybody, he is a really good drummer and im sure the guys are happy with him. im really happy that A7X found him cuz like u said better to have another drummer than see A7X's end. i know it has been pretty hard for them but with this new guy i things are setteling down a little :)

    foREVer <3

  • @BloodyNightmare6661 No one ever hated on him... you musta be dreaming, stop cocaine, you saw what it did to Jimmy so please stop

  • @BloodyNightmare6661 I'll mostly miss Jimmy's ability to create music and lyrics. I think he was the songwriter in the band, let alone the world. In an interview, Johnny said that Jimmy alrready wrote 60% of the album before his death. i think that's pretty amazing.

  • Avenged Sevenfold had two choices, to pick a new drummer and make more songs and sell out concerts or finish the band there and then. They made the very right choice and even though idiotic people are saying, Arin's shit, he doesn't replace The Rev at all....Think about it, he's in his young 20's and he's got major skill. He even said in an interview that he could never replace Jimmy in a drumming kind of way, but Jimmy would have been proud of him to try and fill his spot. R.I.P Jimmy, foREVer.

  • @GuitarManiac1998 Mike Portony might not of replaced the Rev...but hes deffinitly better in my opinion. Both are great but i think Portony is better.

  • orlando bloom!!!

  • Mt diferente Sem Rev :,(

  • It's not avenged sevenfold without the rev for me. The Rev was such an important part of the writing process and the overall personality for the band.

  • he seems to Ozil

  • It looks like he's like 15

  • o arin é bom, toca super bem e é lindo. mas ele NUNCA vai substituir o rev, ele foi e SEMPRE será o melhor baterista que eu ja vi em toda minha vida. WE LOVE YOU JIMMY!

  • i guess a the job recruitment is to play shirtless lol. Arin plays shirt and Mike also played shirtless for that short period of time.

  • travis smith wanted to be the new drummer

  • the new drummer is a gay man who can not play

  • @6grimmjowelsexto if it wasnt for him, a7x wouldnt be playing anymore you idiot

  • @asianmastermind that comment makes no sense.

  • I like arin But God Dammit I Want My Rev Back

  • Bienvenido Arin aunque nunca remplazaras a jimmy :D

  • bienvenido Arin solo espero que logres demostrar al menos la mitad de lo que dio jimmy c: sseras grande entre los grandes :3

  • i know most hating on him, you love the rev right?

    so you think he would like to make a7x end with his death?or make the band have no drums(making them fall to end)

    he would love make his band progress just like when he was here,with the best drums as possible, wich could be one of his fav drumers (mike) or a very skilled one that could at least keep the style(of sound) of the band at the songs(arin)

  • Welcome to the family, Arin :3

  • Arin Ilejay good luck, we never forget you Jimmy!!!!! :/

  • Badass druming

  • fuck him the rev is the best 

  • I Like Arin Better Than Mike :|

    Plus,

    I think Arin Need some tattoos :D

  • Comment removed

  • JIMMY SENDS ARIN. Now assholes, if u hate that fact, you better listen to bastard pop out there! Arin worth it.

    *i still love and miss and want jimmy to be here too just like you guys. what else to do?

  • I don't care what anyone says. I lose my friend, my drummer, in a freak accident and come along Arin, you can bet your ass he's in. The point is, he's keeping A7X together. You don't want that, you must not truly be a fan. It's called "support" and everyone needs it.

  • no one can replace the rev and that's for fact but the band cant move on with out a drummer i know how it feels being a drummer for my own band but if you like avenged sevenfold you will believe in them and know they will make the right choice when picking a drummer. besides if you want new music shut up and let the drummer be a drummer and play. does it really matter who it is as long as there making music? it all sounds the same no matter who plays.

  • Long live Pissant!

  • i swear he needs to get tatoos and gain some muscle cuz thats what makes avenged sevenfold awsome!!!

  • @baboy84269 Tattoos and Muscle? so it's nothing to do with the music or the 3-4 tours a year that makes them awesome, just that they look good? i highly suggest you re-think that before you even bother responding

  • @FictionFoREVer6661 hey you retard its just me suggesting you fucking sensitive shit!! if i dont like there music why am i here huh?? get GTFO you idiot

  • @baboy84269 Fuck, you used an abbreviation you must be a badass, the fact of the matter is i stated fact and you insulted me this shows you have no legitimate argument with me and with that being said this is over

    btw i said think about it before you reply

  • I prefer Arin over Portnoy. I just hope he has the capability of making creative original songs

  • i think Arin needs some tatoos :P just saying

  • The Rev is An Angel The angel of my world and many other A7X fans worlds RIP Jimmy Gone But never Forgotten

  • The rev will never be replaced in our hearts but the band had to find a new drummer physically or no more a7x.. and give Arin props he is good.. but no one is Rev good.. and dose anyone else thing Arin kinda sticks out in the band? everyone is all tatted up and dark.. he is like clean lol..

  • Jimmy foREVer but they should get Joel Piper FTW

  • @TheMinifigures How can you even say that? The Rev is the best drummer ever and no one can replace him, but Arin is an amazing drummer. Fuck you

  • I saw them play live. It was Arin's second time playing. He was alright, but i prefer that they get in contact with Cobus.

  • Just give him a chance!! He Do it a Great Job!! i love REV at 100%, and Arin is not bad at all....90%....he just need Tatoo´s and some pircing! and that´s all! and then 99%....Nobody is Perfect!! But REV is Perfect, Cos he´s GOD!!! ☜☠☞ \m/ AVENGED SEVENFOLD \m/  ☜☠☞

  • dude think of this, if a7x stopped at jimmy's death now we wouldn't have anymore a7x music, and we dont want that right? foREVer <3

  • I don't understand why some people hate Arin ...

    I'm brazilian , and I went to their show in 03/04/2011 Credcard Hall , São Paulo

    and the guy is brilliant ! he reminds me The Rev's a lot !

    and he deserves to be in such a great band like this !

    I know that the rev would be prould :)

  • OK, I like arin, obviously he's an awesome drummer, but A7X will alwys be M. Shadows, Synyster, Zacky, Johnny and Rev.

  • I love the Rev But you Arin Ilejay you Cool man

  • he does not like to rev, everyone knows, more cool rev, rev as many tattoos and original drummer of Avenged Sevenfold !!!

  • @1337 the word is LOSE as in it is sad to LOSE someone. To loose him does not make sense.

    Example : To come to be without (something in one's possession or care), through accident, theft, etc., so that there is little or no prospect of recovery: I'm sure I've merely misplaced my hat, not lost it.As in "I may LOSE' my mind.

  • @Lear23Driver dude its youtube.. not english class.... o0o

  • No one should say that Arin replaced Jimmy. He doesn't sing his parts, he doesn't claim himself the new drummer, and they still leave the piano seat open during fiction in memory of Jimmy.

    I've seen A7X with all Jimmy, Mike, and Arin. While neither Mike nor Arin are exactly what Jimmy was they were both great. I believe any true fan would want the band to move on, put out another album, continue the A7X legacy. And Arin is their key to doing this, so I'll say it. Keep going Arin!

  • i don't think arin likes wearing shirts lol jk

  • ther reeeeeeeeeeeeeev <3

  • The rev Forever , Arin Nul .

    

  • what's his band name gonna be?

  • No one can replace The Rev, but since is not around us anymore, we got to move on. I'm a great fan of A7x, and I've seen them live, and Arin was very, very, very good.

  • mesut ozil new drummer a7x

  • The Rev cant be replaced

  • @lution09: many more than the Rev have played without a shirt, and derp, it's a traidmark of EVERY DRUMMER to twirl the sticks. Get over yourself, and try to see that Arin's amazing. No, he's no Rev, but he's doing the best he can. Fuck, I mean, he's only what, 23? He's got serious fucking skill.

    I say a big old fuck you to everyone who's hating on ANY member of this glorious band. A7x <3 foREVer

  • @mamapancakes yea i personally am a drummer and i twirl my sticks all the time every drummer does it

  • @mamapancakes Amen to that :]

  • I dont like him, he trys to be the rev. Playing without a shirt - a rev trait stick spinning - a rev traid

    No tattoos and no cool name = huge suck ass

    Although he isnt a bad drummer, its just not the same

  • @lution09 dude... get over it. without him ... a7x wont be playing music anymore... so get a grip or go listen to other music

  • Theh hate Arin because Arin has no "emogoth" last name?

  • @azhariwarman lol can u elaborate on that?

  • @sprinkler5802 LOL then i will bash up here ;)

    @lution09 Of Course. There's ONLY The Rev that PLAYING WITHOUT A SHIRT *oh my god* *where the hell am i*

  • @azhariwarman im confused

  • @azhariwarman Is that seriously the only reason? Because he doesnt have a stage name? Using his last name doesnt make him any less of an amazing drummer. Well to all the Immature people out there. Im sorry his name isnt Arin Fear or whatever... I really miss Jimmy alot. And when I first heard he past away, I just couldnt accept it. Jimmy will live on in our hearts. But Avenged needs a new drummer. And Arin is incredible!

    RIP REV

  • @SNIPERmicSNIPER No, i don't really understand why they hate Arin. I was just assuming "is that because Arin has no emogoth last name?" Yeah kinda like that. I don't really care about the band too anyway. Just assuming. You know.

  • @azhariwarman Alright yeah, I gotcha
