True!

[@SeaGoRetta]

M. Shadows is a baritone? excuse me, but did you even listen to at least more than 1 song? XDDDD listen to his voice even in regular talking position it's actually pretty high pitched.

just gritty tbh

[@huapzaua9206]

Haha true but ms shadow is not the tenor part please listen i wont see u tonight m sahdow hit the 5 octave

M. Shadows Is a Bari-tenor his natural voice is Baritone but he can Sing The Range Of a baritone and tenor Just Like Corey Tayler.

As someone who has A7X so very near and dear to their heart, especially because Jimmy "The REV" Sullivan (Rest in peace) inspired me to learn drums back in the day, I found this cover highly impressive and brings back so many awesome memories. Awesome job singing and well done on the guitar solo. That was the best cover of the solo I've seen.

[@roxnroll8050]

Awesome rendition! Bet you could pull off Lacey Sturm with a cool old Flyleaf song... Sick, perhaps? ;)

You did the Rev's part before the solo absolutely perfect, the flawless definition of sheer perfection. I was lucky enough to see them live before his passing and your cover took me right back to there

Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen so unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be Arrived too early And when I think of all the places I just don't belong I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife 'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall) No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall) So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign I've made up my mind Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife 'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might take me back inside when the time is right Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be (I am unbroken; I'm choking on this ecstasy) Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me (Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live) I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife 'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might take me back inside when the time is right

Hands down, best vocal cover of A7X I’ve ever heard. Most people reach too much and sound like they’re trying too hard to sound like M. Shadows, but your voice naturally fits the song well. You made the song your own while still maintaining the energy of the original. Excellent job 🙌
