The 15 minute masterpiece about the creation of the universe. Nice. EDIT: Part of the "disconnect" and loneliness that the song talks about is that the universe is ever expanding, and we have no idea what's out there in terms of other life forms. "If we're a product of the universe, how can we choose whether we're going to be a part of it or not be a part of it?" I think the song refers to us being alone in the universe, which we most likely are not, but we don't know yet. As Neil said, "I see beyond the plight of humans". We have our own problems and wars here, that in the grand scheme of things mean absolutely nothing. If another species ever makes contact with us humans, they will see all of our war and famine and hunger and think "wow, these beings are stupid" because we can't get over our own problems and realize that we're all the same. The universe isn't "up there" or "out there", WE ARE the universe. "You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing."
First 5-6 mins is a musical creation/inspiration of the big bang. The lyric section/slow part is the evolution of life. The last section w/Neil basically describing the cosmos and our belittlement/impact (if any) to the universe as humans.
Dont know if you guys know but this song is literally about the creation of earth. There was nothing in the beginning, hence the softness. Then bang! Its heavy for a while while the solar system is being created. When it gets soft thats about the time life starts on earth. Amd when ndt is talking at the end, that is present day asking ourselfs whats at the stars. This song was carefully planned
Not that it really ties into the track too much, but Dr. Tyson once said, in so many words, if you think of how small and truly insignificant you are when you look at the existence of the entire universe, & you become saddened/depressed/hopeless (kind of how the tone of the lyrical portion of this songs sounds), your ego was waaaaaay too big too begin with, & your view on life was far too self centered, but in all actuality, you have no reason to feel so depressed or hopeless, because the very atoms that make you, you- the very substance that is you, in its most basic form, is also found throughout the universe. You literally are one with the universe. If you don’t become completely awestruck when you really sit down & take that concept in- really internalize it- then something is truly wrong with you, my friend. Interesting conversation as usual, guys. Thanks.
The album is all about science essentially. You have it tacking simulation theory (Simulation), the fermi paradox (Fermi Paradox), creating self aware AI (Creating God), transhumanism (Paradigm), human history is a endless bloody loop coming to the realization we are all puppets to death or by essence ourselves (The Stage), the sacrifices of those who sought the truth at the hands of the ignorant (Roman Sky's), the sorrow of our past ideals being wrong and heavy pessimism for the future (Angels) and Exist which tackles both a feeling of loneliness and solitude within the universe coming to the realization we are not alone as we are the universe and it's our task to go forth and observe it as we are its means of observation. Humanity is the universe looking back onto its itself. As for where you get free will from this perspective. I dont really think you do. I act day to day like we have free will because you cant operate on the inverse but even with a God if they are omnipotent than everything was already decided before "let there be light" and there is no counter argument as if you know all including the future than you know what your creation will do before you make them you will know how all factors all variables play together and in turn decide how they will fall as you are the pusher. From a scientific perspective, you simply remove the will behind it, the God, and everything is just a chain of dominos going back to the random explosion of creation known as the big bang. We are just biological computers programmed by genetics and feeding off environment circumstances. Whether religious or not neither can truly awnser if we have freedom.
I truly believe the answer to the question of the pastor in the end, I heard a bit from Sir Roger Penrose on Joe rogan's podcast. Something about how Consciousness is the most different thing in the whole entire universe. And it is true, it really is quite a different aspect to be found in the universe. It is not like gravity, and does not follow the laws of physics, but it manifests itself in the short lifespans in the known universe that have the ability to make choices in order to survive. Life is finite and uses consciousness in order to survive or wander through existence itself. How do you think a pack of dogs, wolves or fish react or make decisions individually and/or with a group? I understand that those two subjects earlier, isolation and free will don't connect but they don't have to, but I'll try to connect it: The latter part of Neil Degrasse Tyson says is true however in that our actions are reflected by our human ego, because we have a potential never seen before. We struggle constantly trying to build our own universe with our own imagination. And whatever potential we have barely scrapes the universe, maybe showing us how insignificant our time may be, which probably gives us a lot more meaning in our lives for we will all die one day and that we are very lucky to even be alive.
Sabaton- the hammer has fallen (live version) its about a soldier on his dying breath looking back at his life tho some people interpret it as last thoughts before suicide honestly the best thing about some metal and rock is you can interpret the lyrics however you want which is kinda what you do with the whole spirituality theme of this channel
I was literally browsing your channel a few mins ago looking for updates! Looking forward to the new content! Happy New Year! "The Clincher" by Chevelle
starting at about 7:30 only one half of the audio is playing bc theres nothing until the vocals which have no other sound until the leading into the chorus
I couldn't wait for this reaction, and it didn't disappoint either. Now that you've cleansed your palate for long songs with long instrumentals you should check out Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden. It's about the same length as this but has a more ominous feel to it, and tells a story with some spiritual messages too. It's based on an English poem from the late 1700s or early 1800s, very interesting story!
i think it goes off higher in my thoughts i might be wrong but thats what i think... i think the song is about exploration and how well the guitar is fast means its supposed to be science taking off and how much people explored the earth and the solar system then after a while things went dormant (guitar solo slowed down) then the lyrics came in and told you why its slowed down i guess maybe idk...i guess the songs about exploring and people should never stop exploring... also this album reminds me a lot of like the pink floyd stuff but this song particular is reminding me of learning to fly glad your back!
About 10:45 you commented how they wrote a song about how you feel in isolation. It happens one of the great things about Avenged Sevenfold in that they can write songs on EXACTLY how you feel
Such a wonderful musical & philosophical masterpiece this one. Think, for a moment, in the entire history of the cosmos, all the way from the moment of the big bang, the spark of cosmic creation, to this very second. Humanity has only lived but a single second in that cosmic lifetime. And what do we have to show for our single second in space? Death, war, suffering, & hate beyond measure. We are the product of the cosmos. Countless stars died & shed their matter so that we may exist. Yet, by only focusing on "me, myself, & I", or our own human ego, we are refusing to expand into the cosmos where we truly belong. If tomorrow, all of humanity was wiped from the face of this single planet, the universe wouldn't be any different for it.
Why is this only one channel? You can tell cause you only hear one of the guitar parts when it should be a dueling part, also in the keyboard/organ part after the polyrhythmic section is supposed to be a call and response but you only hear the call
i love the reaction but i believe we are only listening to only one of the ears in the song in both ears leaving out some important parts in the song, and if i know anything about a7x is that they love to put their separate guitars and certain part of the mix in one ear and another in the other ear
Big kats back!! Can you guys please check out Words Darker than their Wings by Alter Bridge either studio or live at the Royal Albert Hall ft Parallax Orchestra. Both are phenomenal! Its written about a conversation between the lead singer Myles Kennedy and the lead guitarist Mark Tremonti, Myles was having a hard time with faith after his dad passed away and mark is saying dont lose hope, maybe there is something out there! They even sing back and forth to each other like they're having the conversation! Please check it out!
For me the part of Neil Degrasse Tyson is about realizing how small we are compared to the universe. When he says there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on the worlds beaches, more stars in the universe than seconds of time that has passed since earth formed, more stars than every sound that has been uttered by all humans that have ever lived makes me see that when compared to universe we are ants. Think about it. Every human that HAS EVER LIVED? If you do research on history that is dated back trillions of years ago to the very first human to walk this planet. Do you know how many sounds that could have been uttered since then by us? And there are more stars than that? More stars since earth was formed which is probably trillions of years before even humans and dinosuars were around? That's alot of fucking stars dude!! When you compare your life to that, you realize just how meaningless your daily struggles of society really are. Mixed with the fact that we are so often caught up in our daily ruts of life, that we forget anything can happen in a moment's notice to take everything away from us or us away from those we love. You really start to think and realize just how precious every moment you are alive is. And how much of that you have taken for granted and did not appreciate over the years. As I quote the fictional character Drizzt Do'Urden from the books of R.A. Salvatore. Everyone dies, it is how one lives that matters.
I would like to see Andy react to some "Demon Hunter" I am someone to hate or Lead Us Home are good ones. "War of Ages" would be another grrat band, especially the song Battle On
theres a reallt cool video you should of watched of this, not official but still cool and goes with the music and meaning the crestion of the universe and life on earth least...if im thinking of the right song
The song that solidified my atheism I mean nothing against you guys are you beliefs but to me the song finally realize that we couldn't have a Creator because the universe is so vast and so big and nothing could have created that or nothing could have had enough energy to do that because even though it it said that the Universe should have a Creator by that logic the universe would be so big that the point of a creative wouldn't even need to have existed in the first place just like us a God would just be a very small Speck in the vastness of the universe also you kind of missed whenever you pause at the end the meaning of why it was just nothing but white noise that's supposed to solidify the meaning of the heat death of the universe meaning that nothing could happen after that

In my opinion, this may very well be the greatest album in the history of rock, both lyrically and musically.
Truly a masterpiece
It’s fantastic but maybe not that far.
@@poolmaster18 "in my opinion" -.-
It's definitely the best A7X album tho! Right above nightmare and waking the fallen imo
They are not rock they are metal

Luciferian MGTOW amen man
This I why enjoy this album because of the technology/science topics
This is my favorite reaction from the Pastor until now, great vid
At 13:14 they actually got elephants in the studio sing that bit
😂😂😂😂😂

Higher by Avenged Sevenfold!
Sabaton- the hammer has fallen
(live version)
its about a soldier on his dying breath looking back at his life
tho some people interpret it as last thoughts before suicide
honestly the best thing about some metal and rock is you can interpret the lyrics however you want
which is kinda what you do with the whole spirituality theme of this channel
I was literally browsing your channel a few mins ago looking for updates! Looking forward to the new content! Happy New Year!
"The Clincher" by Chevelle
sp did i i was lookj g ljke 2 hours ago wondering if they were gonna upload XD
The keyboard part is infact the guitar with keyboard effects
No, they brought in some one for that part. Watch the breakdown.
starting at about 7:30 only one half of the audio is playing bc theres nothing until the vocals which have no other sound until the leading into the chorus
They are not listening to the official version. Whoever uploaded the song they are listening to must have left it out
I love to watch you looking at your phone while one of the best songs in the past decade plays!
I couldn't wait for this reaction, and it didn't disappoint either. Now that you've cleansed your palate for long songs with long instrumentals you should check out Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden.

It's based on an English poem from the late 1700s or early 1800s, very interesting story!
When you listen that live it's even more epic and you can feel the emotions of the song through their performance.
Love you guys
You're back! Yes!!!
i think it goes off higher in my thoughts i might be wrong but thats what i think... i think the song is about exploration and how well the guitar is fast means its supposed to be science taking off and how much people explored the earth and the solar system then after a while things went dormant (guitar solo slowed down) then the lyrics came in and told you why its slowed down i guess maybe idk...i guess the songs about exploring and people should never stop exploring... also this album reminds me a lot of like the pink floyd stuff but this song particular is reminding me of learning to fly glad your back!
HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS . I hope to see more videos soon .
Working on them today! Happy new year!
Yay! Welcome back. Also can you react to warmness on the soul by a7x?
Been watching Pastor Rob since you guys been gone. Y'all should collab.
About 10:45 you commented how they wrote a song about how you feel in isolation. It happens one of the great things about Avenged Sevenfold in that they can write songs on EXACTLY how you feel
Love the Pastors air guitar haha
I’d love to have a conversation with the pastor about how free will and our connection with the universe
Thanks for finally getting to my suggestion :) I'll stop harassing you guys now

Warmness on the soul by A7X
Tonight the world dies or victim as well as one more light by linkin park is something that im really hoping you will react to in the future
Bro! Dude on the right looks like Q from impractical jokers nice reaction

Psychedelic without the psychedelic... beautiful
i think this song links with Fermi Paradox they both have similar themes about space and loneliness
HAYYYYYY GUYS
This song gave me such a strong pink floyd vibe I love it
I'm sad I didn't get notified for this one the essay that Neil wrote is about the plight of humanity
