A few years from now,this album will be remembered as a masterpiece in music history.
hell yes
it is a standout effort for sure! amazing disc
shreyansh bhargava Agreed. Never thought Avenged would make such a heavy Prog record.
shreyansh bhargava said no one ever lmao
shreyansh bhargava I already witness this album as a masterpiece. I don't use that word very often. In fact the only other album that I believe is a true masterpiece is the book of souls.
There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on the world's beaches.
More stars in the universe than seconds of time that have passed since Earth formed.
More stars than words and sounds ever uttered by all humans who have ever lived.
I really like this part. Who's with me?
and there are even more stars in universe than the number I masturbated
Love Metal not for me
LOL
am good
Love Metal
yeah me too
As a physics student I kinda got more respect for A7x with this album. That they would dedicate a whole album to intelligent thought. It's so rare within music.
Your last statement is only because you are from America.
You need to listen to more music then mate
Yeah a lot of people don't do it because it isn't 'commercial'. That, my friend, is called selling out for mainstream exposure.
There are tons of people (In America) who are smarter than a 13 year person, you can be sure because 300 million people in the US, your just 1 person. It's the dumb people who are out using Media, there are plenty of very intelligent people and they just don't know it yet.
ImGonnaShout2000
You should listen to Tool, or Prog, if you want "Intelligent Thought" in music.
Highly underrated song of a highly underrated album of a highly underrated band of a highly underrated genre
shits deep bro.. bad ass track
Alex Brooks yeah I fucking loved the speech.
The video should be titled "how Avenged Sevenfold got Neil Degrasse Tyson to speak at the end of Exist"
Sean Dunn bandwagon
Bandwagon what, my profile pic is making fun of PSG and Golden State, smh
Who else dies to see this song live?
THEDGC - The Dark Gaia Channel would be the greatest act the humankind ever witnessed
I saw them live last week but they only play a shortened version of Exist. :(
But the full version.
only if it's from start to finish, they always skip the intro coz too long + too complicated.
alexilaiho1st it being too long isn't the problem, it's the fact that that would be incredibly difficult to pull off live... i think it will happen eventually tho
I wanna hear this song LIVE!!!!!!!
AlfredoA7X they would probably get tired who knows
GRAMMY MUSEUM IS WHAT YOU ARE lookin FOR
AlfredoAX7 catch them on tour, they played exist last night
They only play the slow melodic part live
they played mid to end about 5 mitutes.
we have one collective hope: ...
Music...
the Earth u.u
and yet..
famine and calamity abound.
Pancakes
Jared dines is in a7x now holy shit!?
DeWdTEAM lol
DeWdTEAM I thought it was Jared when I saw the thumbnail.
DeWdTEAM OH MY GOD I SEE IT XD
DeWdTEAM lmao!
Wtf
this song just fuckin epic especially the final part
Gives me mad goosebumps knowing that Neil wrote that FOR Avenged Sevenfold. The monologue made me cry the first time I heard it. Chances are I’m gonna cry next time too, now that I know this.
I now see why he usually opts for the bandanna under the cap.
Callum Bushell 😂
my favorite song from that album. haha. idky their longest songs are always the best (to me that is)
it is
Same
good thing Jonny christ writes all the songs. all hail Jonny!
Absolutely love Exist. Favorite song on the album.
Turns out they did their best song to date. A masterpiece!
Exist: *is a thing*
M Shadows: *Yeah it was so easy to write*
I mean, you could've put..
Exist: *Exists*
..And it wouldn't make a difference lmao
Yeah, Avenged Sevenfold proved they're a legendary band, evolving with every album, and The Stage is their most mature album (not my fav), and I'm excited to see their future works... this guys keep impressing
This is by far my fav song ever.
This give me chills, make me wanna cry, make me wanna run, jump, a mix of all the feelings at same time, this is just a perfect song.
Hey.
I just want to say thanks to the band and to Neil. I watched cosmos in 2 days, and in those 2 days I also started listening to the stage, like 2 weeks ago. Since I am not a native English speaker I didn't notice Neil was the voice om Exist. After I finished cosmos I wanted to discover more things about everything in science, from electricity to astronomy, but when I knew Neil was the voice on Exist, I decided to study as many scientific facts as I could. Ever sincr that moment, I have read one book and I am starting another one. I want to study maths and physics, and I hope I can help the planet with some discovery.
So I just started listening to this album, this is my favorite song on the album
smokin what, Matt? ..... ;)
Stephen Sturgis "just smoking" riiiighttt
most of rock stars were using drugs to wrote songs!!!!
420 blaze it, bud
*Takes a hit*, "The Universe brooo". Exist is created
No way I swear none of them smoke weed like I know Zack johnny and syn smoke cigs
50% comments: OMG! SUCH AN AMAZING SONG!
50% comments: Jared Dines?
So Epic and as an astronomy lover and A7x Lover I am so happy you did this, thanks Matt and team!
how come nobody in the comments pointed out how gorgeous he is?! :F I LOVE his eyes ♥
Nadia Ludmila González Córdoba love your eyes
You to know each other ? Haha
@@Grant_Sheppard not really 🤭
@@kalewaynestruthers4574 ty 💛🥰
Yo idk about you guys, but exist made me cry
I am complete after hearing this song.
Science,rock and metal.
The Universe,Life and everything.
This is one of the best albums ever created.
This song gives me the most vivid visualizations of a universe being created, the passing of eons, and the formation of life on a planet like earth. It's incredible what themes this almost entirely lyrical song produces and how impactful the few lyrics are.
"There are more stolen bikes in my garage than there are stars in the universe."
- Neil deGrasse Tyson
Exist may actually be Avenged Sevenfold's best song.
Is that M Shadows or Jared Dines?
OffLeatherWings LMFAO! I see it!
How beautiful song. Best from last album.
What a cool person to hang out with
a masterpiece! this is the "echoes" (pink floyd) of metal
I'm a big Avenged 7 fold fan, and I must say you guy nailed Exist. I have many favorites and it's right in the top of them. A little piece of heaven is an epic tune as well. Keep them coming, your music touches a lot of people. I'm certainly one of them. Wish you jam with you all. Lol
Surfing youtube and watching space doc at night , I just knew I'm not the only who does that haha
Omg they're my favorite 💕💕💕
Love that song!
I've always wanted to be physic and I love this guys, they are incredible And this is the best song of the album.
This dude's voice is the only voice that don't match with his singing voice.. fucking epic.
Even not being hard to write, there is a great amount of emotion in the song, and the lyrics seem very deep, even if there aren't many.
his voice kind of changed. wow he's old now, I remember when he was in nightmare
In the thumbnail he looks like Jared Dines
MattMcFaddenGuitar a Beefed up Jared dines
Glad you went with Neil
Amazing track!
OMG, I love you, Matt!
amazing song
he looks like jared dines :D
Jared Dines and Shadows look like the same person... ;)
You can't be serious...
They ARE the same person !
Because of the hat? :)
TheLocktest I wonder does Jared listen to A7X?
MY BOY
Yeah I was a nerd for reading about science but now this song came out and people keep telling me space facts I told them before and they ignored.
I want to see a live preformance with theatrics and everything. Also, bring out Neil to preform the speech live. That would be one of the greatest live performances ever
I'd love to drink scotch and smoke some with M.Shadows:D
Lance Dez same that would be awesome
When A7x goes into Between The Buried and Me mode for a little bit = Exist
matt is super high in this interview lmao
Pantelis Perakis Eh? What makes you say that?
His eyes are as low as my bank account
Haha hahahahahahaa Damn I'm not the only noticing it
matt is the best!
Exist will foREVer be the most epic of epics.... Goosebumps every single time... Even after the 2,999th time.... Exist is eternally mighty. Mighty AF.
i lo e listening to this song and just pondering our existence the meaning. whats out there. what dont we know. just tripping on space and life itself just getting lost for a bit in the wonders that i have.
So in other words,
Why Exist exists
A true masterpiece!
So one of the best Songs on the album were "easy" to written? You gotta be kidding me....
Nix that's the way it is sometimes
Dream Theater wrote and recorded Train of Thought in 3 weeks. That's a fucking masterpiece of an album.
Sometime songs come up naturally, sometimes not. That not mean an artist is better if do a masterpiece in 3 weeks or 1 year. Stop being judmental. Monalisa took 25 years to be finished by the most genius person of our history. So please.. Stop that shit of comparing bands, checking how much time they take for make a song etc.. Are just bullshits, focus more on appreciate the final result, the meanings, the feelings put inside the art they do.
Those Men of this Band are Divine musicians
favorite 15min song
If they ever played this live, I wonder what Matt would be doing the whole time
i would love too see them make a song for the kingdom hearts series or final fantasy. after reading the scripts or playing the games of course. not all but just a lil at least
lol no
The Rev would be proud
Really, and I thought it was a straight rip from a mash-up of Song of Myself and Greatest Show on Earth.
Amo Matt
I wonder if Matt came across Top5s vids about the universe formation
Song of the year.
Winter's Gate
Handsome！

exist came about when m shadows was drunk and high and thought this song would kick ass. Well drunk and high m shadows, you were right.
A7X
WE NEED MORE INSTRUMENTAL BASED AVENGED SONGS

Brooks wakarman was drummer god in exist song.

Exist by Avenged Sevenfold, or as I like to call it, 15:41 of absolute bliss.
This is by far the most epic song A7X has ever done
Hellyeah

There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on the world's beaches.
More stars in the universe than seconds of time that have passed since Earth formed.
More stars than words and sounds ever uttered by all humans who have ever lived.
Craziest song Ive ever heard and then when I least expected it Neil DeGrasse Tyson starts talking about the universe
God damnit Jimmy get your stallion duck beer drinking knife mastered ass back here so we can go drum! RIP REV
