I covered this song about 6 years ago, I wasn't so happy with the sound, but I kinda liked the little part I came up with and I've been meaning to give it another go! So here it is now, and I have to say I do like it better so I think I can finally move on now 😄 who would have thought 6 years later we'll still be here together haha.
Huge thanks to my patrons who make it all possible.. You rock my world 😍
Love you guys..

Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife
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.
Gave 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 hoped 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 hoped you might,
Take me back inside, when the time is right.

[@kingel5111]

CR7TheGunner same goes here man

You were the first drum-girl that i've seen played drums so cleanly... Your smile, keeps everyone falled in love since yours first video upload. Good videos, good songs and of course you do an amazing work. Greetings from Santiago, Chile.

[@kd7mvs]

That's one awesome drum set, and does she ever know how to make use of it! And it's ever so clear that she's loving every minute of it. Such fun to watch.

[@user-zm1sl6mc2n]

This embodies everything playing is about. I feel like I'm on cloud 9 being blessed enough to witness such power and grace while maintaining the flow of a little kid in a candy store. There are no real words to describe how amazing Meytal is. I cannot get enough of this....been binging for hours now. God bless this woman.

[@josephvladimircasseus5480]

Merci Meytal pour votre dexterité et surtout pour votre sourire. Vous faites des choses très difficiles mais avec le sourire. On voit que vous aimez ce que vous faite. Merci

[@MaddogJones]

As close to perfection as I have ever laid eyes on. And your drumming and timing is right there also.

[@cookephsh91]

I have never notice how melodic the drumming for this song is until now.

This song’s drums always feels to sound like one, giant series of wonderful flam-tap doubles that is drivingly inspiring, and Meytal, you groove that feel not just dead-on... I can simply say YES! The only thing I think could be better is that I get new headphones to clearly turn it up more! Excellent!

[@HJ-kf7zn]

[@WordVirtuoso1]

Impeccable timing! You make it look easy! I played drums with my twin brother Erik for 35 years and watching your drumming technique throughout the half dozen videos of yours that I've experienced, I'm learning new and improved methods and techniques. Thanks for being you! 😎

[@BatsiraiMusuka]

Meytalll fan from 🇿🇼🤘🏾 Loving watching these...always in awe of drummers. But watching Meytal just highlights the skill these drummers have.

[@ChefMarkyMarkz]

That smile and double foot peddle action is just mesmerising!

[@fernie2k]

4:30 Absolutely Incredible

[@DeepestPurple78]

Another excellent cover Meytal!!11!1 \m/ \m/ RIP Rev

[@ColonelHogin]

The way you're rolling through the kit is Phenomenal and I'm very happy to have You on my playlist.

[@ColonelHogin]

Lior, The ceiling camera drum heads-skins are very much appreciated. Thank you.

[@martindariofernandez4388]

Meytal, I have already said how precious you are, but now I see that you also enjoy a lot of cover of Avenged sevenfold, it shows when you play, you do not look at the drums, you usually lower your head and follow the rhythm with the hanging hair, as you will smile when you make the cuts with accent as you accompany them with your body, it shows that the band is "like a ring to your finger", when you play and as the subject progresses you look happier and even more beautiful. I congratulate you for being as you are !!!

[@hangar21us]

I love everything you do🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 and this cover is amazing!!

[@davidscullion5636]

The REV would be proud

[@lostbetrayed]

David Scullion you got that right

[@pinheadlarry1019]

Yeah, he would....... he'd definitely be prouder of her compaired to Casey Cooper' s cover. He waaaaaaay over does it.

[@k20a_dave]

totally agreed.

[@olivermorland5176]

David Scullion don’t you mean... The knife master

[@seulgi_hours]

He would be R.I.P

[@frantisekbabic9683]

damn that customized part at 4:56 got me chills.... well played indeed , amazing skills

[@TheSingasong]

What a amazing drummer. When the first time I watch this video, I falled for her when she smiled. Omg

[@hardikminocha3149]

Her fill ins!!!!! She's crazy! Probably the only drummer I've seen who has made the Rev's parts better rather than worse.

[@Elcoyotefeo]

That fill at around 5" was soooooo rich!

[@jayluci7398]

YESSSS

[@a-z8102]

Улыбка восхитительная у неë! И работает палочками просто обалденно! Красава!

[@jaredmccain4106]

Feeling like a kid at a candy store watching you play! You are SO clean AND fast. Most folks sacrifice one for the other. Keep up on those foot-hand trade-offs… just perfect. And I LOVE what you did with the fill session starting at 4:43!… 🤩

[@FaixA2]

My favorite drummer playing one of my favorite song

[@rayr218]

Still my favorite cover that you have played. The " REV " is having a drink on you in Heaven after hearing you shred in his Honor.

[@douggrinnell3872]

that you can do a 7 fold so perfect, and make it look easy is just mind blowing first. second that you do it with a smile? definatly one of, if not the best drummer ever! vids are great! keep it goin!!

[@kevinchenoweth5712]

she's amazing, I joined for the drumming, but her spirit is so attractive I cant stop watching (great job with the Rev's work, I love his work!)

[@dj0chemical0romance]

Now I can't tell if fell in love with the song, or with this woman… 💕

[@tooljunkie555]

FLAWLESS!! & Awesome @4:30 - 5:00

[@joellapointe9139]

Watching you play those skins is addictive! Addictive because you look like your having fun! Keep up the great work. Much love!

[@Mr2kuhl4you]

The wave at the end is the real kicker!

[@jaycwsl]

Love how she gets all into it and smile says a thousand wrds

[@rubenvela3515]

You go girl show them haters what you can do😀

[@Super-jf9qv]

You are a truly inspirational young lady for all those to aspire to be like you, keep up the great work.🇨🇦👍💀

[@walterschwartz8311]

When you find out where you fit it would bring a smile to my face as well .

[@harriihonen2446]

Oh my god. This girl is so EXCELLENT ANdShe is smiling all the time

[@Iv250]

Holy shit! You even improved on the normal version! Sounded amazing! Congrats!!!!!

[@ConnorMcWilliams]

Just saw this for the first time! NAILED IT!!!

[@adamjordan727]

Meytal, I just can't get enough of your videos! So beautiful and talented....keep rockin' it babe!

[@mapaxchemetal]

I love the 4:57... the figure in this part is amazing Im still waiting for ...a little piece of heaven

[@mgtimp]

Awesome!! 👍

[@angelousi7280]

yup it is

[@merisonola]

The fact that she is just totally enjoying it and not sweating anything is insane. Quite talented.

[@chrisblankenship110]

That speaks volumes about, for, and because of. You. You have improved so much. Exspecialally the past year, year and a half.

[@Pupil6324]

Most photogenic drummer ever!

[@grooveworx3327]

The neighbours are also enjoying this...and they live a mile away.

[@Azulay1]

Simply perfect! This drum solo is insane!

[@eduparadise7732]

Além de tocar muito, arrazar na batera, tem um sorriso lindo... Parabéns

[@garybourke468]

I like the way MEYTAL sets up the kit . I'm copying !

[@fagnerytb8250]

Mano apaixonado por essa Mulher q não toca , ela destrói 😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jameslyon2197]

Your music school buddies really love you to pieces,that's great to see.

[@daveearl1304]

My wife showed me your channel yesterday and you are incredible on the drums. Today I just put in my headphones and let your videos cycle through while working. DAMN I wish I continued playing the drums. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Play3rYT]

YES -

[@e4r281]

your beautiful smile makes it look like it's very easy to perform.

[@maxcraig466]

I try to listen to her while I'm doing other things... doesn't turn out well because I can't take my eyes off of her. Incredibly talented and that's putting it mildly ! Rock on darling, you make my heart go thumpity thump !

[@wilson4328]

Best one I've seen yet! Awe, who am I kidding? Anything you do is Awesome!

[@metalupurazz1]

4:56 f'king nailed it!!

[@BluMorpho86]

The Rev is listening to this in heaven stg xD

[@DekkarJr]

:) Makes sense why Mike Portnoy saw value in helping to fill that spot despite a seeming overqualification. And that produces a pleasant realization that there is no overqualification of greatness in the nobility of remembrance of life.

[@joshantebi4126]

😖🙏🙏

[@jayholewinski]

Absolutely incredible. You are just ON FIRE. I love it. I shared this on FB really talking about how drummers are profound in mind and body coordination. At 4:30 your are just a god on that kit. I am guitarist and I just LOVE drummers. Well, super amazing drummers. Much love out of Detroit Michigan. Rock ON...

[@Rickster21]

Awesome video! Just found this channel and subscribed. Love your covers of some of my favorite songs! Was wondering if you know of the Japanese band "Babymetal"? Their drummer is awesome also and would love to see you cover their song "Road of Resistance". The drum part is killer! Thanks again! Looking forward to your next videos!

[@karlsmith2570]

That would be awesome to have meytal do a babymetal cover

[@robertleger8399]
