Avenged Sevenfold - Fiction (Live At Download Festival 2024)

Avenged Sevenfold performing "Fiction" live at Download Festival 2024 - 16/06/2024

*All credit for this video goes to who I attended Download with - massive thank you to them who filmed the songs I missed whilst I was watching ERRA which went about 20 minutes into the A7X set*

Apologies for the video being in less quality than I would usually record

I can't imagine how hard it is for them to play this song again after a decade.
Brooks personally said that this song meant a lot to him knowing that this is Rev's last song and it closes a chapter to his musical career.
Syn and Matt singing together, filling what's normally Rev's part is very hard to listen, emotionally. Also, this is the first time this song was played live with all of them onstage. Normally, it's Syn, Matt, and Arin.

[ColtOO]

I kinda like whatever that effect Zacky and Syn were using in the chorus was since there's no actual guitar in the song. I've also noticed that since they started playing this again, Zacky's been on stage as well when it's normally just been Matt and Brian and Arin at the time (now Brooks of course) but I think that effect may be why and also that Matt is now singing in the chorus along with what Jimmy sang on the studio version when he never used to, so they're definitely adding a bit to what is undoubtedly still an emotionally hard song for them to play

Man. This is a song I never thought I’d see live. God on the day this was 100% the most impactful song. The rev’s vocals blasting out and zacky and syn using the synth affects on the guitar was so crazy. For me to experience that 5 minutes again I would give anything. So glad to have seen avenged live.

[jamieage]

It would be cool if Syn played piano live on this

[RobHowdleMusic]

Loved seeing these at download, made my whole week seeing them. Shame the weather and the sound issues caused so many problems for so many bands but A7X rocked!

[fredsouza]

Matt voice sounds awesome. Great video

[zachwilliams]

I hope fans these days still understand what this song is about and the pain rev was in at the time

[jpslaym]

Its so conspicuous hearing songwriting of A7x songs and then any band from last 5 years to today. These guys know how to write a song, especially Rev, RIP

[eleanoraallena]

Now I think I understand
How this world can overcome a man
Like a friend we saw it through
In the end I gave my life for you
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
Not that I could
Or that I would
Let it burn
Under my skin
Let it burn
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
Not the I could
Or that I would
Let it burn
Under my skin
Let it burn
I hope it's worth it
Here on the highway, yeah
I know you'll find your own way
When I'm not with you
So tell everybody
The ones who walk beside me, yeah
I hope you'll find your own way
When I'm not with you tonight
I hope it's worth it
What's left behind me, yeah
I know you'll find your own way
When I'm not with you
So tell everybody
The ones who walk beside me, yeah
I know you'll find your own way
When I'm not with you tonight

The crowd was so dead further back, I really wish I was closer to the front for this song specifically. It is in my top 5 a7x songs easily 🦇💀

[KalebCreation]

We all missed the rev this video is good love rip the riv i subscribed to ur channel keep it up

[MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

It’s been 15 years and his brothers on that stage are still very affected by the loss of Jimmy. Technically speaking this is one of the easiest songs for Shadows to sing. It’s right near the bottom of his range, but you just CAN’T “Tune” the human element out and I wouldn’t want them to try. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

[AghaWHaner]

4:03 Matt's eye is so offended about syn for wrong lyric "tonight" 🤣🤣

[edwinemiliorosasmontanez]

Es mi sueño poder verlos en vivo algun dia. 😊

[rizoerayrihwady-xwqs]

Drummer yang terkenal diseluruh dunia jadi lagu ini telah di recording semula? Apa klau dengar yg bukn live itu asli?

[revriunabdi]

Di lagu ini, fill drumnya aku lebih prefer arin sih daripada brook 😢
