@@deminybs Moises.ai link in the description

​@@dicodec ohhhh my bad, sorry I'm retarted & can't read apparently 😂😂 ....& The link sends me to a "page not found" lol I'll find it

exactly!

literally born to drum

​@jaimea.5207I agree. I also have to add Danny Carrey....Thomas Haake....

THE METAL

Neil Degrasse Tyson is not a original record for the album, it was taken from Cosmos Series with Neil approve

@@AlanRojasMusic no, it literally wasnt. watch the metalhammer video of matt talking about making exist. him and neil were emailing back and forth piecing together his script.

I agree. The extended version is so good. That album took me 7 years to fully unwrap.

The Stage is a 10/10. I defended it as Avenged Sevenfold's best album until LiBaD came out. That's an 11 for me. While I'm at it... STST -5 WTF - 9 CoE - 6 ST - 8 Nightmare - 8 HttK - 4

@@iamdondawson CoE definitely a 10. Ild also bring HttK up a little, I know everyone likes to hate on it but honestly its more solid than people give it credit

@@GJBedrin I was a fan of Waking the Fallen when it came out, and City of Evil just wasn’t really my thing at that point in time. I never really came around to liking it that much, but I totally understand why others claim it’s their best. I think it’s a little to over the top for me.

@@GJBedrin also, let’s agree to disagree about HttK 😂

Highly recommend Nightwish - The Greatest Show on Earth. Different tone but for me it is somewhat similar 😅

You need to listen to some prog my man 😂

This is so true. I can't believe I called this album trash 7 years ago.

@@instaman34 thats good means you have grown

Maybe you didn't discover Dream Theater yet i guess🌝

I have to agree

Listening to The Stage album now I’m far less surprised about Life Is But a Dream’s direction.

And sometimes we get Zack too. I miss rev backing vocals

Maybe one day! ❤

I'd be there for all of it.

I second this.

yeah man i always think about that, i always think about the first few seconds as a pre-big bang era and the first guitar sweeps as the actual big bang, and so on

To be clear, he didn't write it from scratch for this song. He took pieces from one of his books (Astrophysics For People In a Hurry), it's from the last chapter I believe.

@@rasputinx88 some of it is written for this afaik, and the others picked from parts of his prior stuff like that book

@@rasputinx88 specifically at least the first part starting with "We have one collective hope: the Earth", I cannot find this quote on anything else he's ever wrote

@gravewalker9162 Yea, I'm sure he added some new text here and there to bring all these pieces together but I would say 95% is from that book. I know because I've heard this song so many times that I literally know his entire speech by heart, and not so long ago I heard his audiobook of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry (it's on RU-vid, I highly recommend it) and in one of the last two chapters he mentions pretty much everthing that he put on this song and much more.

I just checked and the book came out after the album lol@@rasputinx88

That is awesome!

Hi! Same here bro, we’re on ‘96 team here! 😂 I think my first a7x’s song was Dear God. I will never forget that godly beautiful outro that made me go to internet searching that song. After discovered Dear God, i started to browse their old song and that made me fall in love into some metalcore song. Couple years later, the Rev passed away and Nightmare album left a special moment for me cause i can feel their pain losing family on that album, and that made me respect them even more. That started on i always followed and listened to their new album. Excited for Mr. Portnoy fill for the late drummer on Nightmare, respected the legend but each time i watched they played their old song live with Portnoy, it kinda felt he just didnt wanted to learn the song properly and felt off sometimes. The Rev used to play impactful fills on their live plays. Couple years later, Arin was introduced and man, i was so excited because the kid was a beast from confide. Used to jam hours to Not Ready to Die and Carry On. These are my favorite drums from Arin. Hail to the King was released later and i understand the direction of the band wanted and personally loved it. I dont understand why fans hated it and i think its a good direction for Arin to learn the challenge of being opposite of what he always did on his previous band. Heretic, Coming Home, Planets, Acid Rain, Shepherd of Fire, man almost every song on that album is my fave song. I dont care if other fans said that some of the song was just copycats from the legends, i mean hey, they already stated it was a tribute album, and even for a tribute, it just got that classic a7x vibes on them and thats the point! They do what they like just like what they did on LIBAD album. Move on to The Stage and i think they really just stepped up their game on anything with Brooks Wackerman on their side. Brooks was the reason they able to pull of that crazy progressive technical song like Exist, The Stage, Paradigm, etc. So grateful to be alive until this time, to see they able to pull off another masterpice album like LIBAD. Cause right now, i got them on repeat full album on spotify. They’re basically The Stage part 2 with the same direction on Hail to the King, but they followed some unique fuse of modern and classic music like daft punk, alice and chains, frank sinatra into their own formula and genre. Heres to hope that they still making another 5 or 10 albums more!

another '96 team here😂 I love this band so much been listening to them for like 14 years now. They'll be my favorite band foREVer. Dear God is also my first a7x song. They make songs the way they like it rather than what the fans want and I think that's why they're unique and special to me. They've come a long way from STST to LIBAD, it's such an incredible journey.

The Stage IS a masterpiece. I cannot confirm if they're the "best musicians on the planet", but they are exceptional.

Damn that means alot

same.. I'd add the Stage to this list

M's high vocals in higher

The stage song is my fav Brooks drums

Same.. I always flipped between Second Heartbeat and Strength of the World as their best song until this came out. Now its unquestionably the greatest track they ever produced

Yay, thank you! I seriously appreciate the encouragement

Coming out soon

@@dicodec 🙌🙌🙌

HAHAHA I just got to the vocals

You're so welcome!

@@dicodec Fiction next maybe? This one is going to make you cry.

The band did a breakdown of the song on their channel a few years ago and mentioned they were heavily inspired by John Williams while writing it

lol well I can't wait to hear more then

Yes, yes and yes! It's exactly the same story for me! I was in LAX when I first heard this album and it brought me back to A7X.

I am open to checking it out

Insane! I couldn’t believe it after I finished, I was like no one is going to want to watch this

@@dicodec We love Avenged Sevenfold! They have so many underrated songs honestly.. people need to give them a real chance

Hell yea! Good catch

I actually listened to this before bed last night

@@dicodec you know its good when you dont feel like its past 15 minutes

Yea man! Check out my earlier video I talk about how I didn’t listen to them

I will check it out!

I WILL!
