This performance is deeply personal.
I covered “Nightmare” in memory of the late, great Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan, one of my biggest drumming idols and inspirations.

I also dedicate this to my younger brother, Stephan, who I lost three years ago. Grief never really leaves — you just learn to live with it. By the grace of God, and with the support of family and friends, I’m still here behind the kit.

Jimmy’s passing hit me hard — not just as a drummer, but as someone who knows what it’s like to lose someone you love. Even though I never met him, his drumming taught me so much. This performance is my tribute to his legacy and the strength of Avenged Sevenfold for continuing on through pain.

Big respect to Mike Portnoy as well for stepping in when it mattered most.
