FIRST TIME HEARING AVENGED SEVENFOLD "PARADIGM"

[@DevinGibson]

🔥JOIN PATREON TO SUPPORT FOR $1 A MONTH! bit.ly/2Q3YalT

[@gabriellima2151]

"The Stage" is an concept album that takes you through a journey about technology and its consequences. "Paradigm" makes you wonder about what science can do to an human being, about how the transformation from the human to an robot takes away the essence of living, the price you pay to live forever.

[@gabriellima2151]

@Tyriq oh, if the man himself told, so let the word go on. But at least for me, when I hear the whole album, it sounds like something built (written) under an subject.

[@notahoagie8470]

@Tyriq although its not a concept album, what he said about the song is true. How human are you really when you implement robotics to your being.

[@smn1085]

that depends of everyone understands for "concept album". a lot of albums goes about some concrete stuff.. this is about "universe" things

[@kerchoo_0422]

The Stage isn't necessarily a concept album, however it is conceptual in a sense because every song falls under the subject of humanity, life, ai, and how these thing's impact the human experience. It's a human record. Paradigm is about how artificial intelligence and technology could potentially change humanity, as you said. It explores the idea in a negative light.

[@gabrielrivera3112]

Ghost in the Shell is reminiscing of my his song.

[@zacharyallen1878]

A7X- Higher!!! You will love it bro! Keep following god and being yourself!

[@sharkongaming5340]

Radiant éclipse/ clairvoyant desease/ As tears go bye too

[@MattLescavage]

Please do “And All Things Will End” next. The Rev kills it!

[@sharkongaming5340]

Damn yes

[@CleetusHawYee]

Syn does the main guitar solos, and the “screaming” sound in the solo is a technique called a unison bend. For example play the 12th fret on the highest string (e) and then play and bend the 15th fret on the string above that (b)

[@Xxplosive2323]

Bingo!

[@bryandean91]

“God Damn” is my second favorite from this album right behind “The Stage”

[@Marc-xo2rx]

It's such a banger !

[@cyansaint]

This solo is the best off the stage imo

[@noahsoto6905]

YESSSSS I’ve been waiting for this day for so long. Paradigm is my favorite track off of The Stage

[@mrfishy6807]

Mine is god damn

[@JXR8789]

I thought I heard somewhere that M. Shadows himself said that this song is about becoming a nanobot and shedding human sides. Basically AI taking over and losing our human sides.

[@leion800]

The son is about what would happen to a man if his brain was uploaded to a computer. The verses are from the perspective of the doctor doing the upload, and the chorus, and later bridge is from the perspective of the man

[@LP004]

A7X went in a progressive rock/metal direction with this album, so the drum patterns are very complex but it’s awesome. It’s a bit of a concept album as the songs talk about things like space, humanity and technology. This song in particular talks about nanotechnology and how it affects the human body, the lyrics portray that it’s designed to help the human body, but it poses the question, at what point are you still human if you’re part machine? It’s a pretty deep album if you ask me.

[@Marc-xo2rx]

Any songs from the Stage are pure gold ! thanks for finally doing song from it !!!

[@Kestrelx7]

The drums are playing whats called a "paradiddle-diddle". Something thats not normally used for beats especially in metal! But Brooks' creativity is absolutely insane!! Drums wise, this is a difficult one to play! Took me a while to figure out and play

[@razorvax1316]

YESSSS

[@lilkanooter4045]

Been waiting for this. My favorite song from The Stage album. I've always interpreted the lyrics as humans using science to live forever and then questioning god about whether or not they still maintain the part of them that makes them human, hence the lyrics "father o' father have you lost that boy you used to know".

[@ethanharrisonn]

Songs about nanotechnology and humans merging with machines and the question of once you've mixed humans and machine, and you're 70% machine 30% human, are you even human anymore? Would you lose yourself?

[@jimmychavez2231]

Yeah more reactions of Avenged Sevenfold ❤️✨

[@coreymcdaniel2759]

Honestly this song was a masterpiece. There's so much in it to look at and This band is incredible.

[@sayurimmiranda]

actually the screams in this song are done by Johnny Christ the guitar solo is by Gates

[@nhlstars1]

The screams are done by Shadows. Johnny just does them live. Matt himself said it on Reddit.

[@michaellambert23]

Great reaction as always!!!! If you haven’t reacted to “Simulation” from The Stage Album! You should!! It’s my favorite from the album! God bless you GIBBY!

[@yoursensei8837]

I always interpreted the song as the story of man's future, where we've merged so far together with machines it's impossible to tell the difference. We lose all our beliefs, we are our own God, but we don't get to feel any emotion. So it begs the question: is eternal life and omnipotence worth sacrificing your humanity? The man in the song regrets thinking it was. Pretty sad story, and fits with the album's spacey/futuristic theme so well. But that's just a theory. Great video Gibby!

[@mr.stunner5623]

Listen to fermi paradox or sunny Disposition

[@johnpaulst.hilaire4835]

Song is basically about futuristic technology that will make is live forever by turning us into half machines basically. Taking away all fear and emotion

[@airelljusuff2714]

engineer the wires to your brain, architect a code so you wont feel the pain. those lyrics are quite literall. and when he look into the mirror it feels like he lost himself. the "I'm way up a God in size" just means he's not a normal human being anymore. he's a cyborg now.

[@wolfeslayer0489]

I would like to see a Creating God reaction by A7X

[@Floppachapel]

a good song is requiem and it’s just so good

[@nhlstars1]

”Simulation” next!!!!!

[@umcaraai6494]

In my opinion, that's the purpose behind the music, show power, greatness and infinite superiority white instrumentals, while the vocals show how dangerous is this for our mind.

[@mrfishy6807]

You should react to “The art of subconscious Illusion” by avenged sevenfold. Album- “sounding the 7th trumpet” their first album. The album also has more screaming than “waking the fallen” album.

[@Synsix7x]

Please react to their live performances. You won’t be disappointed

[@leion800]

Tldl it's about a man who is old and gets uploaded into a computer. Now suddenly being immortal, and God like, he slowly loses himself.

[@kerchoo_0422]

Sunny disposition if you haven't done it yet.

[@poggerwhite]

This song is about humans becoming machine and if that were to happen, we may be godlike in stature and ability but how human would we be? Mortality is a human trait as well as feeling pain. Yes we may be able to make ourselves live forever and remove the ability to feel pain but we wouldn't really be human anymore at that point

[@ajaynorris3526]

A7X has the ability to really make you think about what they're singing about. Just look in the comments here and people have different opinions on what the song is about.

[@petehorrorwood]

Lyrically, the context of this particular song is the immersion of humans and technology. You see a lot more development of the possibility with Elon Musks “nuralink” The paradigm reflects the possibility of this merge between humans and technology shedding our human side, or allowing us to “live for ever” But also asks the question Are we still human?

[@jakethomas885]

Growing up with A7X on the bus rides home after school. Having that insane nostalgia for this band.. This hurts to listen to. Lmao. Their albums tapered off after their 2007 self titled (I get that the rev wrote most of the meat of their songs) nightmare sounded like they picked a vanilla formula to make their songs or something. A lot of the songs just sound "Samey" and lazy. Most of nightmare forward just ends up sounding like 3 dudes on guitars and drums playing 3 different songs while Matt just like yells into his mic like he's playing rock band on the 360 with the boys hanging out in the garage.. Sorry A7X, You guys made some bangers in the past but this aint it chief. As far as metalcore goes from that era. BFMV/AILD/BMTH beat you in Every conceivable way.

[@GJBedrin]

Except all this bands would nowadays have to open for them so I guess in the big picture they didn't beat them
