Please release the full videos of Brooks recording the drums from this album. We all need it. We all want it. Make it happen.
Blake Howe 100%! I often just lie down and admire the drums, in this song more than any other!
Blake Howe I agree ❤️
he has a channel
@@BlazeStorm kpkpp0m0 PP kpll0o PP ll
Yes, do that!
Brooks really is the perfect successor to Rev. ❤️
Sagnik Maity amen
He's a monster!
So lucky, they found them. We are so lucky....
@@subhomaybhaskar They were also lucky that he had just stopped working with Bad Religion. It's a lot harder to poach someone from a project, especially if it's a project they love.
@@JokerCat9 that's true of course... but he kinda got his sound in AX7.
Sevenfold: Complicated music theory but make it metal.
basically
Its called prog... Progressive Metal
1:22 Syn says “He even does wind.... or was that just a microphone put up to my ear?” That joke almost went over my head hahaha. As if he’s saying that’s what you hear inside his head cuz he’s brainless. You gotta love Syn’s very lowkey, dry subtle humor!
I think he's talking about tinnitus
@@rafelneo yeah you could interpret it that way too, except the only thing about that is people with tinnitus tend to experience more of a constant buzzing/ringing/droning/humming type of noise. But not all of them hear the same thing or those exact types of sound examples I listed above…it varies from person to person, so yeah it’s possible that is indeed what he meant when he said that. Either way, it’s still him being funny with his unique brand of dry humor, nonetheless. Gotta love The Gates!!
This song should have 10 parts
EXACTLY
Technically there is four parts to it in one song
isaac preseau I counted six somehow but going back now I see how you got to four, you’re probably right anyhow.
I love how amazed Syn was at 14:12 his face couldn't hide it.
- The Rev - M.I.A (City of Evil 2005)
- Mike Portnoy - Save Me (Nightmare 2010)
- Brooks Wackerman - Exist (The Stage 2016)
3 Best Song from 3 best drummer on my list
Agreed 100%
More like The Rev-A Little Piece of Heaven (Avenged Sevenfold).
@@redguirus no, this song is overrated in my opinion, and yes i prefer M.I.A
@@ssi3262 It's "overrated" because it's a masterpiece. -_-
@@redguirus its me or you who doesnt know 'overated' mean. :/
I’ve actually never clicked something so fast in my life. This is nothing short of a masterpiece and I can’t wait for a7x to get back on the road!
Here in Brazil, we say, "we're together" (Tamo junto)
This is actually what i need to say !!
Omg yes yes I know.. fuckkkkkkkk
Best fucking post on here!!!!!!
Finally this "chaotic" Breakdown. Also Syn is in wonderful mood here, love it.
@Vincent Junio sometimes he seems a little disinterested imo but who am I to judge
Wow, that was fast. I've waited for this one for a while. We're so lucky to have a band that does this!!
Nathan Pearson I love how they're getting more involved in social media and things like this. They used to be so...cut off.. Now so many have Instagram, we get to see their families, and they do things like this and Johnny's show. It's cool getting to see the inside world of avenged.
“how many solos do you want on this music?”
Syn and Brooks: yes
I love how Gates looks at the screen , he seems so proud of the masterpiece they just create
Was just starting to wonder when the next breakdown would come!
Brooks a such a great fit for A7X, glad they ended up crossing paths
Agreed... He is a great asset to this band I think
I was excited to hear him in the band and he totally exceeded my expectations on the stage album, absolutely killer drums the whole album. Personality wise as well he seems to fit right in with the guys perfectly. So excited to hear which direction they take their sound for the next album and to hear more Brooks drums. They really ended up being a great pairing, I hope Brooks is in the band for many many years, after the misstep of Arin it seems they got the perfect guy now.
Jimmy would've been proud of this song. Definitely a masterpiece. \m/
Andy Spivey who’s jimmy?
wintersnake Jimmy The Rev Sullivan
Andy Spivey oh I didn’t know his name was Jimmy. Thanks for the 411
@@metalmanny666 he's full name was James Owen Sullivan, Jimmy was his nickname
@@kennymmii You know that Jimmy is a diminutive for James?
Do a Second Heartbeat Breakdown
Vaibhav Bhatia yes please!
Fuck yeah!
that song is not as complex as many of others that they have. it is indeed a great song, but i would prefer them doing other songs from waking the fallen. for example remenissions :-)
@@FooVines Remenissions is such an incredible song!
Yeeees
Brooks "Octopus" Wackerman going nuts at 13:49.
Thank you for releasing the breakdown for YOUR BEST PIECE OF MUSIC made yet. Thank you guys, seriously.
I love the city of evil and the stage breakdowns it’s so cool to see how you created these masterpieces
They are the masterpieces of the band.
I understands nothing about technical stuffs of music but I really like this series
fathi hanif lubis well to say the least, there is A LOT of interesting and complicated music theory put into The Stage
Who ever is editing these videos is a F*cking mastermind! Thank you
Love Brooks. He's so technically advanced and fits the band perfectly
"Everything has a Potential to suck if you don't give it to Andy Wallace" - best Syn's quote
I love the maturity of this band even going back since the beginning. They never phoned in or winged anything.
“Someone put on their fusion pants that morning” - Brooks 2019
-Or was that a microphone upto my ear?
Synyster Gates 2019
"Who knows"
Lol!!
“This is what he said in the video.”
Hugo Pettersson 2019
Take out the turtle wax and turtle the turtle
What was the context again?
This song is 🔥 thanks for the breakdown
A little piece of heaven, save me, and exist, favorite song ever 💯
I mean until now
Gotta say these are probably my top 3 as well.
Syn: "I don't know if you know this, but I listen to alot of classical music." Like we couldn't tell by some of your fucking brilliant solos.
"or was it just a microphone up to me ear" pitty brooks didnt catch the joke
This really is a technical masterpiece. Their chemistry and musicality shined on this one, Jimmy would be proud
This song is so nice because you can turn it on to just casually listen to it, like studying. But you can listen active to it if you are in the mood so there is always a time to turn it on
I've grown with this band and holy shit, man. As someone who is studying to be a (hopefully) nice producer, this videos are my favourite thing ever. No doubt this is the most interesting Sevenfold album ever
Thank you! Thank you for making music that inspires me to play my own music, This band means a lot to me! So thank you for everything!
god brooks drumming really adds back in that life to their music that the rev brought to the table. Truly no other person could have stepped up and put forth such an amazing level of skill to fill the hole that was created when we lost the rev. Brooks thank you, for filling that hole.
Even then, not really filling the hole. Yeah, same feel, but I think nobody can every truly 100% fill the hole. Rev's creativity was one of a kind, no doubt.
Brady Gilbert well he's not trying to fill a hole or be a successful replacement, he's taking the band in a better direction and helping them make some of the best music i've honestly ever heard, as they always have, but The Stage is on another level
@@bradygilbert9470 brooks is a better drummer skill wise
@@clinkz5093 yeah I agree
never realised how sick the drum part is at 9:46
14:02 my mind was fucking blown
This is 100% the most technical song they've ever done. This is also the best song they've ever done. You can argue all you want, but the subject matter, inspiration and history built into the song is utterly genius!
Brooks can even make that 07:27 move so clean 😂
wysi
This episode is gold. Props to you guys for doing this.
Brooks is God. Precious member to the band. The Rev must be so happy to see him drum so amazingly😃😃😃
Tbh I was first skeptical of Brooks in A7X cos his prior discography was relatively simple compared to theirs. But turns out Brooks is a beast and is the perfect match for A7X. It's also great that he is an influence of Jimmy
Nobody:
Brian : ppmmbraa xd
I'd like to see making of sidewinder
Sometimes I feel stupid for fanboying about Avenged Sevenfold for so long, but they just keep evolving and writing more and more awesome songs!
Congrats to brooks for being able to drum that last part at the end my goodness I was shook at how good he made the chaos look
Still waiting for a Breakdown on "A Little Piece of Heaven" or "Wish You Were Here" (and yes I know that was their Pink Floyd cover, I just want to hear them talk about why they did it)
@touma Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the solo after the first verse in the original one is pretty faint but Syn did a really damn good job with his own solo. I think that David Gilmour would be impressed with something like that
Hey they finally did it this halloween
I remember moment when you guys spoiled this song in demo of the stage.
And talking about winner song that was a little piece of heaven.
And Jhonny stoped it😆
Only real fans remember the song that never was..."BAYBAY! PASS THE THE GRAVAYYY"
do you guys have the video, or that link? sounds funny!
. hope this helps th-cam.com/video/qe5Mo1xud08/w-d-xo.html
I would like to see how Sevenfold play that with symphonic orchestra! Something like A7X&M lol
th-cam.com/video/ei3P4JKAPIc/w-d-xo.html
OMG FINALLY! THANK YOU FOR THIS ❤️
I keep coming here to wstch breakdown series!! Number one fan!! It really feels like i’m having a conversation with them, they are always so natural, authentic!! I love this series so much! Please, we need some more on our quaranteene!! ❤️❤️
Syn: *Jason Freese does every Piano and Synth parts. He even does Wind*
Brooks: *[Looks at Syn Gates with concern and confusion in his eyes]*
Brooks' Brain: *Wait someone was blowing wind in their mouth in the studio during the whole intro???*
Syn: *Or... Or was it the microphone up to my ear?*
For real tho both Syn and Brooks were demonically good in this song. They were absolute monsters in this song.
" a hot chick. Can we say that in 2019?" lmao
Thanks for doing this song in this series, it easily fights for the top spot, in my head, as my absolute favorite by you guys. After hearing the new single Nobody it just solidified what I was thinking when The Stage came out.. Brooks isn't just the new drummer of A7X, he's apart of the family. I love how you guys are continually pushing yourselves as not only musicians, but having the vision for a certain texture, idea, feel of a song, and executing it. All of that is only getting better, and better, and better. Exist is a perfect example of this, and having Brooks in the family is helping to push the whole band to think in new and innovative ways for the band.
This would've been the Best Ending to Avenged Sevenfold's Career, Not Saying I don't want them to be a Thing anymore, Just saying, If this was their Final Song, I'd be Fine with it.
I'm sort of agreeing here.... IF IF they were to retire so to speak, I would be 100 percent fine with this being the last album... And song too
Not me I want them to release their song more
@@harrison.i.nongsie4639 No, they're talking as if they had to retire due to old age or something like that. This would be the best last album, or a better idea, for the last concert this would be a great song to end it.
That's a common theme with A7X, their albums always seem to end with some kind of extremely complex musical masterpiece fit to end a career (Exist, Save Me, M.I.A. etc), usually a top 3 song on the album. They really put a crazy amount of effort into those closing songs, and with the exception of Acid Rain it seems like they always try and one-up the last one in terms of chaos and complexity
@@the_dementor419x3 What are you talking about? Acid Rain is beautiful!
I wasn't ready for this notification 😱
If I remember well, Exist was the first song of the stage we heard when they teased the record back in april 2015 or 2016... that's kinda funny tbh 😁😁
I don't believe they ever did.... They did not give notice as you know, to the Stage coming until midnight on that day I can't recall right now, but I've read several several articles and they never spoke about ANYTHING to do with that album.... intentionally also
@@1981Carrier when their March madness tournament ended in March of that year they showed a short clip of the exist demo while they were still demoing, still on TH-cam. Nobody knew the album was coming, they just said we’re working, here’s a short clip of a demo
Yes! Been waiting for these to come back :) rewatched all the others day before yesterday. It’s like y’all knew!
Can’t wait for part two :)
Glad y’all finally did this sound! Best song y’all have done so far! Excited to see what y’all will breakdown next.
Ugh, I love them so much, and they're so wicked smart with their music theory. As someone who got her degree in music, i love hearing my favorite band talk about classical music, John Williams, intervals, rhythms, contrary motion, etc! Gosh, I love them.
Today is a good day because of this video...
Wackerman is a Pure drummer
He just need more time with em
God damn, Syn is a monster on the guitar
Finally! I've waited for this breakdown for sooooo long, I really love the song! Brooks is so talented it always amazes me, he really made this song a real masterpiece
new album!!!!!! please
Two masters of their craft dissecting an insanely complex piece of music they wrote together is such an inspiring thing to watch.
At 14:20 Brooks looks like he’s thinking “Holy shit I just did that so cleanly.”
That or “What did I just play?”
"Exist" is a modern masterpiece, in the same league as Metallica's "Orion", love it in my soul and heart.
Easily one of my favorite pieces you guys have done. Soooo happy you're doing a breakdown. I thought maybe it would be too much of a "deep cut" to give a breakdown but I couldn't be happier to be wrong!
Been waiting for the next one!
Both parts were uploaded 😱
Can you guys do The Wicked End
And Chapter 4
Malagueña Salerosa
Higher
Clairvoyant Disease
Remenissions
Radiant Eclipse
YEAH!!!!!!
I seriously love then connection between brian and brooks! And they're exactly the same in person too
Best episode so far! WANT MORE OF THE STAGE
Watching this with a huge smile on my face the whole time.😅 You can really tell how much synyster gates enjoyed breaking down this song in this video.
This is one of their best songs imo. It's just such a masterpiece. Thanks for the Breakdown vids guys.
I think we’ve all been waiting for this one ❤️🔥
i love this and i love you, avenged sevenfold. thank you for every sound you’ve ever brought to my ears.
Been waiting for this breakdown ages :D
YES! FINALLY!!!
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SONG
Love these!!
omfg finally you made breakdown for this song too.This song literally changed my life.please talk about neil tyson too on part 2.
Love this song and album so much
Now I gotta play this track for the thousandth time again
This song was incloud of my top fiveth play list of all the album Avenged seven fold
1. Afterlife
2. Almost Easy
3. Save Me
4. Exist
5. So Far Away
That epic drum fill that they show at the end of the video is so fucking awesome... truly some of the greatest rock/metal drumming of the decade on The Stage and I agree with Syn about the high pitched snare, it was an iconic sound of City Of Evil’s identity as well as The Stage... the drumming was literally perfect for Avenged Sevenfold, I can’t wait for more
That's what I've been waiting for. FINALLY
OH MY GOD I'M SO HAPPY YOU DID THIS VIDEO
Lesson of music right here. Make me increase my respect this band. Thank you guys.
Man this track is COOOOL / SIIIIIICK / DOOOOPE !!! The "guitar harmonising explanation" was very handy... the drumming of this track is very MODERN, I mean it's as cool as NOWADAYS EUROPEAN METAL bands, or BRAZILIAN METAL BANDS !!!! The SIXTEENTH NOTES variations are AWESOME !!!! HEY! That part with DOTTED NOTES at the cymbals ( after the horns part ), it was totally unexpected and gives an entire new vibe to the song !!! I LOVE THAT !!!! The usage of an ELECTRO HARMONIX POG as a SHIMMERS EFFECT was GENIOUS !!!!
one of my favorite guitar tracks of all time! been trying to learn this song for months, and even at that, trying to play it up to speed. thank you guys for writing this and talking about it as well :P
Love the collaboration of how this is pieced together. The way it's all laid out is kinda the same concept as LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN. This one is as fluent as that and SAVE ME. BEAUTIFUL GUYS!!!
I love their relationship and the constant "Genius" or compliment of any sort.
Ive been waiting this moment for very long time
Thank you so very much for this! Just thank you!
Lets sit back and imagine how genius this people on creating music. !
We need more break down !!!
That’s simply the best masterpiece of all time.
Can you break down dancing dead plz?!
It's so cool M. Shadows is in cod bo4 black out
That intro arpeggio is so fucking killer, I can barely play it. Always such a joy to watch these videos.
Holy fuuuuck!! The greatest song ever written!
Alive In Death imo Save me is better
They tried the mentor, the student but in the end, went with the rival! Comparing Brooks to the Rev, while both have an insane level of technical skill and range, those things are on the surface. There is a different kind of fire underneath, for each of them. While I do miss the Rev's influence, I don't think the band ever even had a chance of replacing him, at best it would have been an imitation. Instead they went with something new and different, I think Brooks was an excellent choice and a great addition to the band! The Stage is probably my second favorite album by a7x, there's certainly great things ahead.
Respect to the man that mixes their songs because this is a 15min masterpiece
I’m so excited to watch this.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING
you guys rock i love this
