He's going places for sure! Great taste and good on his parents for introducing him to great bands as opposed to the current day crap that passes off as music.
This is honestly the best “unplugged” session I’ve ever heard. No auto tune. No electric instruments. Just pure talent, professional ability, and soul.
@@nickkrueger11 My favourite part is that while Shadows is acting all worried about singing and doing a couple of practices (understandable as the main vocalist), but Gates is just chilling - he knows he'll boss it.
My 27 yr old son died in '18. Not sure if this comment will reach any of you but I can't tell you how much this song is so real to me and makes me cry every time I hear it... Never take playing this song for granted. It touches so many hearts for so many different reasons ..
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm a young guy, extremely suicidal at times. I'm trying my best for my parents. I'm sorry for the pain you must be going through. Love and support to you.
My daughter died in '19. Her Make a Wish was to meet A7X and sing with them. They granted her wish!! They sang this together back stage prior to their show. It's very hard for me to listen to this song as I hear her voice singing it.
RR I have no children and this song means so much to me....I grieve for and with you and I know I can never relate but music keeps us all alive. ✌️❤️🤟🤟🤟
I used to sing this song with my brother on repeat. He died last year and this part hits so hard "Plans of what our futures hold, foolish lies of growing old. It seems we're so invincible, but the truth is so cold. Now and then i try to find, a place in my mind. Where you can stay, you can stay away forever." He was 29 years old and just got married couple months before. I keep coming back to this song and thinking about him. It always ends up with me in tears, but it helps.
Lost my Father-in-law late July last year. He taught me how to love the place I moved to and much more. I wish he could see how his grandchildren would grow. Sorry to hear about your Bother, he’s with you rocking out for sure 🤘🏼
"That was for you buddy".. Describes how humble they are.. They hadn't forgotten about the kid at the end of their performance shows how much they care for their fans!!!
@@dibakarhajong2737 debatable. been simping for this song for my whole middle school life, this one's better. there's more dynamic, added vibrato, with acoustic guitar and all that stuff. the studio is kinda repetitive after listening to this
this one is better because the vocal mix a little buried by other instruments in other live versions, but here, you can hear clearly the most subtle nuance of matt's vocal
Martin Rønning he’s amazing, people are like “Oh Matt’s getting old...” - yeah course he is that’s what happens to people, but he can still sing like almost no other, hitting them high notes, half screaming, and portraying emotion in his singing better than most other singers could ever do. That is incredible! Btw I absolutely love your videos bro!
Martin Rønning the last highs were VERY emotionally moving. And the whole thing being half-improved gave even more life to the performance. Unreal. Also, big fan \m/
“Only going to do the first verse” ended up being the whole song and the bonus ending… that is HOW you show love to even your smallest audience members!
I love when Matt smile at Syn in 4:03 it's so wholesome and the fact that he realizes how good Syn is on the guitar makes this moment feels more wholesome
The year Rev died, my girlfriend wich i lived with for eleven wonderful years followed the same path cause of a cancer. So, every time i hear this song tears run down on my face. Good bye ANNA, good bye Rev....i'm sure one day i'll meet you again. ( sorry for my english ). Thank you boys for this masterpiece.
Rob Grimm I mean I’ve seen em live before and they had the best flashing lights and literal 4th of July tier fireworks for the explosions so they ain’t above that! Best show I’ve seen
Pls REACT this COVER from MALAYSIA SINGERS POWERFUL VOICE LIKE M. SHADOW AVENGED SEVENFOLD.. U dont be regret to watch this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KnHD8VZf65k.html
I love how Matt started the song purely for the kid at first, I feel the pure warm affection in his voice as he sang and stared at the kid. And then he progressed to sing for the sake of the song itself as he poured more of his emotion in the song. Lovely.... 🥺
i sang this song for my dad who died this year on a valentine's day in an accident. a broken heart of a daughter never been this hurt so damn deep, empty and... idk what so say, but this song represents everthing i feel. beautiful song. rest in peace dad (1967-2020) edited: everyone honoring my dad in the replies is making me feel a lot better. i love u. thank u guys very much
Sorry for your loss. I listened to this song over and over when my mom passed 5yrs ago. I play it on her anniversary but I always play it fr my playlist. May you have comfort 🖤
This solo is one of the most beautiful solos that I ever heard. It ain't super technical, but is so melodic, so good to listen to. Love this song, love this band! FoREVer.
Well, for their standard i think "So Far Away" is actually an easy song to play in acoustic, even the original version uses the acoustic guitar. All they did here was just swapped syn's guitar, hence why he played a little awkwardly. I'd be really blown away if they'd figured out an acoustic version of beast and the harlot. lol
So Far Away Never feared for anything Never shamed but never free A life to heal the broken heart with all that it could Lived a life so endlessly Saw beyond what others see I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could Will you stay? Will you stay away forever? How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Place and time always on my mind I have so much to say but you're so far away Plans of what our futures hold Foolish lies of growing old It seems we're so invincible The truth is so cold A final song, a last request A perfect chapter laid to rest Now and then I try to find A place in my mind Where you can stay You can stay away forever How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Place and time always on my mind I have so much to say but you're so far away Sleep tight, I'm not afraid (not afraid) The ones that we love are here with me Lay away a place for me (place for me) 'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way To live eternally How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Place and time always on my mind And the light you left remains But it's so hard to stay When I have so much to say and you're so far away I love you, you were ready The pain is strong and urges rise But I'll see you, when He lets me Your pain is gone, your hands untied So far away (so far) And I need you to know So far away (so far) And I need you to, need you to know
I remember being a teenager listening to Metal Music and thinking, "This is just a phase, when I get older, I will be listening to my parents' music" Well, I am an established 55-year-old businessman from SLC Utah and A7X is easily my favorite band. This was my first time seeing this video and it really moved me. You guys are amazing musicians! Thank you!
Can we just appreciate the fact that Syn did a solo with a classic guitar edit: apparently it is an acoustic, didn’t know the difference before so thanks to everyone who corrected me!
"This is gonna suck!" Proceeds to crush every second of the song. This song never fails to bring a tear to my eye, and this was no exception. Rest in peace Jimmy, we love you...

It's crazy how syn can improvise most of he's solo even in acoustic versions and still have the same fucking feel and emotion in it. And M shadows vocals are just unreal. Love to all the members..
@My autism is exacerbated saying this, but I am not overthinking. He said "we do the first verse form" which implies the original first verse is already acoustic and he will apply for the whole song. Just checked the original and it is as he said.
Sometimes simple works. Gates is a pro player, he knows when to rip and he knows when to let it lay low. A nearly perfect band in my view. I grew up watching gigs in the 1980s, the shit that inspired A7X, these guys are doing it right, I stand behind them every day.
I just remember discovering the band in 2011 or 2012 and hearing about everything, then hearing about the Knife Master thing and thinking "2019 is pretty far off, can't wait for it to come." Now there's about a year, a month, and a week left until the return!
@@samcarpenter_ I was gonna say that. Syns reaction was just so sweet. Like he was so happy that a little kid knew their music and this deeply personal song.
RIP jimmy. You were a huge part of my childhood. You rocked drums like no other, wrote amazing songs, and your antics on the behind the scenes parts of the cd cracked me up. This band I generally think of guitar; as I learned sweep picking, odd Rythms, and just enjoyed playing guitar with my computer speakers blasting the song. Jimmy, you are missed. God bless you. Hope you are rockin those drums in the afterlife. ❤️
Just heard this song last year about 2 months before my best friend's wife passed. I hadn't spoken with him in over 4 years (friends since 1974) over some extreme BS that was totally my own fault. It took his wife passing to bring us back. The lyrics of this art spoke and still speak to me about our friendship and the siht we endured throughout the years. Much respect to a7x.

I feel Matthew doesn't receive enough credit as a pillar of the rock game anymore. He's done scremo, ballads, and everything in between. They've adapted as a band to fit his voice. A7X will be talked about like Metallica and Megadeth are now.
@@goodwillambassador4102 technically, syn is on par with kirk, so does the late rev is on par with ulrich, but originality...yeah, they are way too young compared to those
Ike Smith I totally agree. Matt & Syn and honestly A7x as a band are not given nearly enough recognition as one of the great rock bands, but Matt's range is amazing.
I see how you you could say they lack originality, however I do think Syn is a very technically skilled musician on par with both Metallica and Megadeath I'd even go so far to say that the rev was probably a better drummer than Lars he could straight shred a drum set
Holy shit Synister nailed the second solo!!! I didn't know acoustic version can sound as powerful as electric I could see how hard it was for M Shadows to reach high notes at 6:53
The fact that Shadows looked directly at the kid while he sang with the most sincere look of love and compassion towards him broke my heart. I love seeing musicians showing how much they love their fans during a performance but this one took the cake!! Made me cry!
Matt's scream in the "your pain is gone, your hands untied" part is sooo good even though it sounds a little painful cause doing it sitting down must not been easy.
I know a7x wen I was only 11... Now I'm 21. I will still be their fan even if I'm 60 or 70 and I will explore all the songs to my children so that a7x will remain alive even after dead
I'm a college student and this past fall I had to take a semester off. I really connected to this song while I was gone and now that most of campus is shut down. It'll all be over soon
"When I have so much to say, you are so far away". This is probably the most painful line in a song. I recently lost my friend with whom I had a fight, I stopped talking to him even though he kept trying to mend the holes, and he went to the heavens after a few months. Everyday I wake up with this guilt of not speaking with him and the fact that I will never be able to just kills me from within. Guys, never hold a grudge, communicate and sort things out, you never know when a temporary resentment might turn into a lifelong regret.
I used to think of this song as a beautiful tribute to their friend the Rev, it had no personal meaning until recently... I lost my best friend, whose broken heart I tried to heal with all that i could, about 2 months ago. Besides being my best friend who could see me and love me the way I was, and help me no matter how broken he was, he was also somehow my hope, my love and he died not knowing (I think) what he truly meant to me and how much I loved him, I tried to show him wihout words because I couldn't say it for a stupid pride. To this day I keep discovering that I also meant something important to him... Our last conversation was like this, I stopped talking to him because I was upset with something so silly... The next day, he did it. So it's real, the lines "And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay, when I have so much to say and you're so far away" hurt and I can't stop crying when I listen to this song. This is undoubtedly my biggest regret and will be, like you said, lifelong.
I've been trying to mend the brokenness between my greatest lady friend and I for almost two years now, but can't get her to respond. Guess my desires are being tested to see how badly I want the reconciliation.
