Impossible to give just one song from Nightmare album. All Songs are a piece of art. "Welcome to the Family" and "God Hates us" are the more badass songs and "Save Me" (their masterpiece of this album) and "Victim" the more instrospective and progressive ones.

I remember seeing an interview with A7X and Portnoy where Portnoy actually asked if The Rev actually wrote the drums and planned on playing them because of how nuts they were.

“Save me” is my favorite song of all time, it’s honoring The Rev, as it was the last song he wrote, and it’s a masterpiece. It’s long, but 100% worth it.

This is my fav A7X song! Also fun fact its also M Shadows favorite song because the Rev was supposed to sing the majority of it before he passed. R.I.P.

Zacky and Syn’s work on the guitars when they play in tandem never fails to floor me.

I haven't heard this song in 10 years and still know all the words by heart.

My Fave A7X song! Hope you enjoy it boys 😊

This whole album is amazing, The Rev did an amazing job song writing before he passed.

My favorite song from this album The changes in the song from smooth and melodic to melt your face, is absolutely EPIC 🔥 A7X is a great band, they offer a variety of music styles, as they have gotten older they surely evolved, worth diving into more #foREVer RIP Jimmy The Rev 🌹 Your reaction when it changes up to heavier, was exactly like mine! PLEASE MORE NIGHTMARE MUSIC

God Hates Us does not get the attention that it deserves, it is easily one of my favourite Avenged songs so I would *LOVE* to see you guys react to that!

So glad you guys checked this one out! One of my favorites for sure, and I’m glad you liked it!

I saw them in Minneapolis on the Nightmare tour in December 2011. The whole show was dedicated to The Rev. It hit hard because my brother had just died in September. Such a good concert. Black veil brides, asking Alexandria and Hollywood undead opened for them. Perfect concert.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the synchronized head bopping throughout the song? Because this song is a literal bop for that reason lol

I watch all your reactions. Avenged Sevenfold is the most talented rock band out there. Best group of musicians. Songs I love from them The Stage is one of their best with the best video. Hail to the King, and Nobody. Their hardest song is This Means War and the video follows one of their concerts. It makes you want to lift a car it’s hard af. Please please do This Means War

@@nitoshashepherd5629It was also the first A7X song I heard. The music video takes me back to my stupid girl high school days when I liked bad boys. 😂🤷‍♀️

My some was born the night the rev died. I saw them in concert a few months later. And they did a great tribute to the rev. He wrote half a song and Matt hade to finish the song and it’s beautiful especially live

Avenged is known for constantly changing and experimenting with their sound, y’all gonna really enjoy if you dive deep into this band. Synyster Gates is fucking GOATed

This song is a CLASSIC!!! And again, (I sound like a broken record) it’s amazing live!!! I’ll send the short videos I recorded from the concert I attended back in October!!! Great reaction!

OMFG, can't wait to see where this song goes with you guys..2:30 in🤣. Banger-ASSSSSS song, especially towards the end🤘🏻. I WISH you 2 would do this entire album to feel the emotion and progression, ESPECIALLY because of what happened during the making of it😢

This song holds a special place in my heart. This song got my dad through stage 4 throat cancer. I remember him playing this song almost every day when he was going through his chemo treatments. I am so thankful that he’s still with us. Part of me believes this song helped save him 🤘🏻❤️ thank you guys for doing this song. My favorite reactors doing one of my favorite songs. A great early birthday present :) Edit: They always do this song live and I cry every time because of my dad

No freakin way!! I was watching some reactions to this song last night and checked to see if Ryker Road had covered it yet. This one of their most underrated songs IMO. It’s easily in my A7x top 5. Yes, more anything from Avenged Sevenfold.

“Save me” is a masterpiece of a song and probably the best in the Nightmare album. It’s the raw emotions of the band right after the Rev’s passing. The melody and the lyrics are mind blowing. Also “Fiction” is the last song the Rev created and sang and handed it in to be the last song of the nightmare album 3 days before he passed. And it is the last song of that album. It’s basically him singing goodbye to his friends. Extremely emotional and eerie. FoREVer 🤘

This is my favorite song!! Not just of all their other songs but all songs. I've been listening to them since they first came out. This song has been dubbed their stairway to heaven by fans. I love the little things that they do in their music like in this one how he says "Gate" and "Awaits" with a little bit of a growl. In a little piece of heaven how they had a whole orchestra and Choir And how you can hear the subtle tone of the violins in the background of that song. They are incredible artists!!

I love how you both got the "pigeon head" after the solo, its that kind of song! Damn, i remember when 'Nightmare' came out, i listened to the whole album all day every day, such an amazing record!

I live in Michigan for a reason... potholes everywhere

Love this song. R.I.P The Rev

Beast of a song Masterpiece album No one knows what's coming in the middle section lol Not even 7X fans Great shit guys Do more Sevenfold..... ..please

Not a huge A7X fan, but this is, by far, my favorite song of theirs.

Another great song and reaction. The guitar work in avenger sevenfold is just amazing on every track.

A7X had my highschool weight room and gym head banging back in 2010-2014. Its surprisingly clean lyrics that we got allowed to jam out on the pa

The Rev was around to finish writing the whole album. Everything except for So Far Away obviously he was still putting everything he had into and the last song they finished was Fiction which is a true tragedy if and when you listen to it. Matt and Jimmy finished writing the song and shortly after is when the Rev passed so he just never ended up recording any of his parts with that task being taken over by Mike Portnoy as he left Dream Theater. God hates us is definitely an amazing song so I definitely check it out And as I mentioned Fiction is an incredible song by them as well but it hits best when you know its 2 things 1. Its a more mellow song focused on drums and piano and 2. That this was the last song the Rev poured everything he had into even with them using a demo voice recording of his that is admittedly a little bad but it was the last thing he ever did for them so they kept it

@marbella135

About Fiction, the Rev didn’t write the song with Matt. Matt’s voice etc come in later when they release the song cause the Rev handed in the demo and died three days later. When the Rev handed in the song to Matt he told him this was to be the last song of the album. That’s why in “So Far Away” Matt sings “a final song, a last request”. The Rev had named it “Death” originally then the band changed the name to Fiction. The song we hear in the album is a mix of the demo version and the studio version to honour the revs last vocals and his last playing.

Nightmare is the album that introduced me to Avenged Sevenfold, this song is one of my favorite songs by them. You guys made a great choice in reacting to this song, keep up the good work guys

The synchronized head banging in this video was on point. Haha definitely need to check out more of the older A7X. You might change your mind Kyle. 🤘🏻

This song live is absurd. So good

Hell yea guys my favorite reaction Channel as of late yall are the best

Banger song

This is my all time favourite song. I know every lyric off by heart and listen to it when I’m down to help me feel happy. It’s amazing in my opinion

Learning that fingerstyle intro on guitar at the moment, not easy

You should check out Mattel on their new album! In an interview M Shadows stated they took old drum demos the Rev had from their self titled album that he didnt think would go well with the album.

Def great band to explore.

Not ready to die, Tension, MIA, Danger Line

God Hates Us live at the Rock Am Ring 2011. This needs to happen.

In an interview M shadows says that its kind of 2 songs that shouldn't go well together but somehow works

Got to see this in concert over the summer and they absolutely KILLED IT! Maybe the best concert I’ve been to

The Rev singing the demo to this is surreal. Well, the whole album is since he wrote the bulk of it.

Love classic A7X...Syn on Hail to the King is amazing!

The melodic callback to So Far Away in the beginning just crushed me the first time I heard this.

One of my favorite songs in the world! So glad you guys reacted to this one!

This tune is f****** badass

I’m praying they just react to this whole album🙏🏼

I just love seeing people reacts to songs i like and see their faces when the song hits and see if they had the same feels i did when i heard it the first time

the entire band is heavily inspired by Metallica which is probably why you get that feeling. the Hail to the King album as a whole is pretty much a tribute to Metallica with songs such as HTTK being similar to Enter Sandman, This Means War being similar to Sad but True, Shepherd of Fire being similar to For Whom the Bell Tolls, and so on.

Hell yes!! Listened to these guys heavily in Jr. High and they’ve been in rotation ever since. So pumped! I knew you’d like it.

I always forget how much I do like this band, LOVED This! 💜💜

Love to see a reaction to the new Architects- Seeing Red, you guys will love it

This is by far my favorite song of theirs and it's so underrated! I instantly clicked to watch when I saw what this video was. I'll be back after I watch!

I was so happy when i saw you guys uploaded this. One of my dearest song cuz that was the first a7x solo i've learned. Such a great song!

Just saw the for the first time this past September and They are awesome live

Please more reactions Avenged Sevenfold ❤❤❤🥺🥺🥺❤❤❤

Awesome you’re doing this song this was a great album

You guys should really check out Nobody. But I also think an album list of their self titled album is in order!

One of my top songs OF ALL TIME. I fucking love A7x and this song specifically.

I was so hype when I saw this! Love this song too- pleases my brain because I love sudden changes especially if it fits a message or theme >~

Jealous, I saw them in 2011. Need to see them again.

Yes!!!! As a guitarist I LOVE the into to this.

I was just watching y'all headbang in unison and when Eric was talking about the smooth transitions, and I just said out loud "oh just wait til the second half kicks in". My kid looked at me like I was loopy ;) he's been listening to A7X with me since he was around 4 (I don't censor music). Yes, the unedited versions of songs are definitely the best. Nightmare theme...but also how a person feels when they've lost a loved one. If I was Matt I'd have been saying God Hates Us .... but I have said that too so, I get the sentiment.

Back half of this song is a masterpiece

should definitely listen to the stage from their more recent stuff

One of my favorite albums is sounding the seventh trumpet. And the songs "warmness on the soul"

By far my favorite song from A7F because it's so metallic-esq

This puts me in a similar mind space as So Far Away.

I'm so happy you did this one!! This is not only my favorite A7X song but my favorite song of all.

TBH, I never expected the Hip-Hop guy to make the Metallica comparisson! This was a great reaction video!

I loved this video! Buried Alive shows a lot of their versatility, but I would recommend Nightmare, Welcome To The Family, God Hates Us, Tonight the World Dies, and Save Me. Like other commenters, this album is honestly one of the best ever because it was half written with Jimmy and the rest was in his memory which made it so emotional and beautiful, but also so raw and genuine in its intense energy. Please PLEASE react to more songs from this album. ❤️

As an extreme Avenged fan I'm very happy to see you both dive into more of their stuff. That being said, even if the whole Nightmare album doesn't get covered I understand. I do think that Fiction is one song that should be done for sure. Great job as always!!!!

Such a banger song!

Thank you for reacting to one of my favorite songs!

I got here to the reaction late. I absolutely love A7x and haven't heard this song in awhile. Still gives me chills love you guys and these guys can't wait for the next.

1:55 goosebumps OMG

You guys are so adorable. 🥰

Erics natural stank face had me vibing ....lol

I just bought that same shirt today!! That’s a weird coincidence. The whole album is awesome. I love nightmare personally and it’s my favorite avenged song.

I think "God Hates Us" was the second song I leaned to play (after "Critical acclaim") on guitar

I love this song. I got to see A7X headline with Falling In Reverse opening, great song. And the crowds reaction to this song was magical.

This is my favorite A7X album. Nightmare is my #1 fave song by them. I love seeing y'all headbang, especially when you're in perfect unison! 😅😂😊. Bat Country was my introduction to them, and it's wild. So far away is hard because my sister passed around the same time as Rev. So I don't listen to it often. But love the stank faces guys, and when the guitar started going off ...😂😂😂 Great reaction guys.

This was the very first song that got me into A7x

Ahhhhh one of the most amazing on the album. I’m so happy y’all did some A7X! 🖤

We NEED you guys to do Fiction, from the Nightmare album. That song is pure beauty.

I remember when I was a kid Avenged Sevenfold actually played at my school as some anti bullying thing and it was probably some of the best thing I saw ( at the time) and unfortunately I didn’t have access to internet so I had no idea who they were but if I did I would have been listening to them sooner 🤘🏼

Man you guys definitely need to react to „Save me“, (if you haven’t already.) In my opinion one of their most underrated songs ever.

Being a huge fan of the band and this album in particular, I’d love to see y’all do more of nightmare

Saw them in Nashville a few months ago and this was amazing live. A7X is always a good time though. 🤘🔥🤘

Hi Guys You need to react to avenged sevenfold shepherd of fire 🎉

I know this is about the nightmare album mostly, but please, please give Cosmic from "Life is but a Dream" a listen. Buried Alive was my favorite A7X song for ages until I heard Cosmic. It is some of the best guitar playing you'll ever hear, and that song absolutely WILL take you on a journey through the whole thing. It's best listened with your eyes closed, laying back in your seat and soaking it all in.

I feel like the two of you would really enjoy the song and music video for "The Stage"

Y'all should react to Danger Line from the same album. The imagery in the lyrics for that song is insane

OMG SO GLAD YOU ARE REACTING TO AVENGED!

Yep

A7X is one of my fav bands, seen them live at least 6 times in Canada. Unreal live

Nightmare is my favorite song on the album
