    Synyster is the perfect mix of technical and emotional.
    Many guitarists nowadays are pure technical but lacks soul and heart.
    Some other are soulful but are not known for being technical.
    But Syn man, he has the best from both worlds, no doubt about it, he is one of the best guitarist of the modern era

      He also has an understanding of theory and what scales to play when and plays some very unusual scales/arpeggios over the chord progressions. He also incorporates some of his gypsy jazz background into these metal songs.

    It's so great you show the passion and emotions. About a year ago I was able to tell Matt, from the heart, in their discord group chat that this album is a masterpiece comparable to Master of puppets and that Exist is like a modern Orion. Many supported and gave likes and Matt was very humble about it. They are the best, A7X is like big family and I'am so grateful to be alive and wittness such an amazing album and be a part of the A7X family.

    Thanks for pounding the table about this band - I listened and watched before this livestream. I'm starting to get it. I was most taken with the drumming. The band is def a head and shoulder above others in the same space, IMO. The video was itself a masterpiece - a lot of work went into it. Now, I am not comparing the music, just a connection between MV's-I was reminded by the video of Genesis' "Land of Confusion" - "The Stage" reflects a darker vision for arguably darker times. This song is darker and better, too, IMO.

    Hey Alan! Been Enjoying all of your A7X videos, something I would recommend you to check out on your free time is Avenged’s Breakdown series on their RUclips Channel from a few years ago, they’ve done several songs from they’re discography, the stage being one of them. And they breakdown the stems and discuss the what, how, and why they did things on records. In the stage video Matt brings up about how brooks originally played the opening drum part a little differently than on the record and how the kick drum rhythm wasn’t this continuous thing like it is on the record. Sorry for the long post I figured you would be interested in that! (Edit: Spelling)

    Bro, the breakdown of this song and going into the clean chorusy sounding guitar solo to the climax back into the riffs gets me everytime. I remember listening to it for the first time and when the breakdown started it captured my attention. At the beginning when its just the guitars it sounds peaceful and full of hope. Like the suffering is behind and there is something better to look forward to. and then when the drum fill snaps you back like you mentioned, the solo seems to convey what I would interpret as grief.
    The solo seems to merge emotions that I feel to be happiness and with loss. The scale he solos at that portion up until the build up arps is very minor/bluesy sounding. It's like a juxtaposition between sadness and joy. Very much the same way I feel in grief or suffering a loss. The whole song is a masterpiece but the solo literally connected with my personal emotional life experience with zero words. wild.

    I love that you show how the songs touch you. Certain A7X songs just do that. Certain chord progressions or solo melodies hit that emotional rawness. And I agree with you on Matt's vocals during that breakdown bridge section. Combo of the lyrics and melancholy way he delivers it and then reaches for it in his gravely screams to wake up. You should check out the live version of this song they did on top of the Columbia Records building. One take and Matt just nailed it. The whole band did.

    This was our first taste of Brooks as a drummer on Avended material... obviously Mike was the most ideal fill in for Jimmy to record the Nightmare album, and Arin did alright on HTTK (although, not a direction I'm glad they tried but let go of), but Brooks blew me away with his drumming on this song... Coupled with the surprise release and ultimate "fuck you" to WBM from the top of the Capitol Records building, this was not at all what I was expecting to get from them. Took some time to adjust and get used to Brooks, but he's settled in nicely, especially on LIBAD.

    I listened to this album in one sitting for the first time... And I didn't really like it much.
    Upon my second and further listens, it's my favourite album (other than their newest, which I haven't listened to enough yet)

    This album was special.
    Maybe not as "great" or "epic" or "legendary" as some of their earlier stuff.
    But they tapped into a vein of creativity here I don't think they will ever be able to replicate. They tried with their latest and it didn't really work as well.

    I love your channel. I love your videos. But this in my opinion was the first time i felt this wasn’t a genuine first time listen.
