I think it's really important that you understand just how cool your grandparents are. I'm in my early 50s (not a grandparent), but my own parents - both of them - would have called this garbage and made me shut it off 20 seconds into the (brilliant) guitar solo. That your grandma especially, is so attentive and insightful is a testament to them, but also provides a peek into the way the next generation of grandparents (mine) will be - more attuned with our grandkids and more relatable. My own grandparents, while lovely people, were so far removed from interest in anything they couldn't directly relate to - it's night and day. They're good people, and how much you love them shows through. And Cosmic is an incredibly dense song, sonically. There's so much going on that it can be hard to follow for people not used to heavy music or prog, in general. A better gateway to Avenged, that they may be able to follow and relate to better, might be something like Angels or Roman Sky, from The Stage.

The ending always makes me cry.

its always johnny LOL

[@GabbaShredz]

Don't worry I love Johnny Christ! Just forgot to mention him, I get nervous on camera 😅🤘

[@BlackAxtant0]

@@GabbaShredz I love how Johnny gets bullied it too funny man

[@GoblinSoupMusic]

I think most of us had their same initial reactions. Confusion in the lyrics’ meaning. Curiosity on the “sections”. Man I love this song! Roman Sky would be a great next song for them, because they seemed to love the singer and acoustic instruments!!

[@xenoxcalibur6332]

shame that the actual music video just came out, would've loved their reaction

[@GabbaShredz]

I know!!

[@New.Beginnings88]

They get to focus on the music more this way it’s better imo

[@toreetotz6661]

The song hits you in the soul

[@jackischannelaboutnothing]

I was emotional the first time I heard it. Beautiful metaphorical lyrics and the instrumentation is powerful. Love this song.

[@ROADKING97_]

I love that grandma was open to hearing more from them, It’s my all time favorite band. Good video!

[@codycooper6949]

“Let it gooooooooooo” Makes me cry

[@IlSevenlI]

Let them listen to So Far Away. 100% they are going to love it

[@mbabaneamputee7725]

7:15 precious smile, always keep this video :)

[@mannyarvizu2840]

Keep it up brother they know good music that’s for sure. Just a different generation 🤘🏽

[@Tarmizi497]

Now that’s a song choice!!!

[@heldercdo]

Best song of their best album

[@ronnymarcano1805]

Such a beautiful song man

[@ostenso2741]

Let them listen to “Life is but a dream”, the piano composition in the album. “So far away” is another suggestion 🙂

[@angelolopriore5484]

Maaaan, i skipped to see this video before due to the thumbnail, but right now that i checked I love it, it would be great if you make your grandmother to listen more of a7x stuff

[@HotActionKop]

That was great, your grandparents are sweet, although I do believe your grandma made a mistake with her 7/10 - if she hears it a couple more times I reckon she'd change to a 10/10. A7X are also my favourite band ever and Cosmic is a fantastic track, makes me very emotional

[@YouZilaTak]

Death, they need to hear that one 🖤

[@ghosttrap5376]

They need to hear G(O)rdinary and death the trio

[@nystrumguitars9458]

God I enjoyed this so much!!! I love that you have this kind of relationship w/ them. ❤️❤️❤️

Great stuff man

You got some good family there young man! Hold on to them with all your strength. BTW try "beautiful morning" that song is "Mariana Trench" Deep.

[@A.Losers.Lacerations]

Granny looks like she about to cry the whole time, then Grandpa looks like he don't know where he is 😭

[@mehdighoula7716]

Dream theater would be an amazing review!! also grandma's review is so wholesome!!

[@vermilion272]

i also give the singer a 10/10 sir

[@zaksefer8324]

soo goodd

[@snitchex5087]

first time seeing the channel cause of avenged sevenfold, loved it. if they like less heavy songs from this band i would suggest: so far away G death girl i know tension unbound (the wild ride) fiction roman sky st. james angels warmness on the soul until the end seize the day victim set me free dear god also if it is possible u should cut screen in two pieces and put their cameras next to each other, that way we can see both of their face expressions on every moment of song

[@GabbaShredz]

Thanks for the suggestions and I appreciate that you enjoyed! 🤘

[@jadenthomas8671]

Girl I know might not be the best choice for the grandparents lmao

how about a reaction of the full libad album?

[@Boinker0]

They are like WTF is this 🤔

[@chickenwar1]

Oh come on man you could've at least explained the meaning of the song to your grandpa lol nice video tho your grandparents seem very nice

[@GabbaShredz]

I would if i knew the objective meaning of the song lol 😅 I'm not the best at interpretation of lyrics im more of an instrumentalist.

[@3xodus]

yeah im with you, this album is something else, its really hard to capture really any concrete meaning of the songs in it but I think thats the genius of it. I still don't know what I honestly think of the album as a whole despite listening through it fully over 10 times @@GabbaShredz

[@ieuanthebeardedbard]

@@GabbaShredzIt's about love after life. The song begins after the protagonist (or their partner) has died. The guitar solo takes us on a journey as the soul ascends into the Cosmos. Then the piano section is a reflection & reassurance to the partner about how the spirit/soul remains eternally across space & time ("dancing in the wind, before the dawn of man, don in Pharaoh's clothes, rings of dust & ice, etc - there you'll find me"). And the final electronic part, repeating those previous lyrics, is the protagonist personally experiencing all those things as they ascend & travel across the Cosmos. It also alludes to reincarnation & how they will find each other in another life, as love guides them.

[@GabbaShredz]

@@ieuanthebeardedbard Thanks for the great explanation!

pleaseeeeee, i wanna see their reaction on (o)rdinary

Ur evil lmao

do you want them to have a heart attack? lol

[@dillonreed6860]

Grandpa says this song is dark😂 im sorry but literally old time country music and blues is darker than this. I like to see your grandparents react to such wholesome music that our generations don't get. Grandma gets it. And that's rad.

[@jadenthomas8671]

The first time anyone has complimented Matt’s voice lmao

[@heter0flexual623]

also fun fact about the brass and strings: they were recorded in the same studio john williams recorded in, it adds a level of magic to them knowing they were played in the same room tracks like duel of the fates were recorded in
