CORRECTION: They are selling Vaxis 1 The Unheavenly Creatures book (not Vaxis 2) on their Window or the Waking Mind tour. Sorry guys, for some reason I just assumed it was Vaxis 2. But I think they might still have box sets for vaxis 2 available on this tour.
Nope. They had:
the Amory wars collection
Vaxis 1 book
Bunch of shirts and hoodies.
Sister spider mask
Some other mask
And Vaxis ii in vinyl and CD. (No cassettes version)
A large blanket
Seen in Detroitl ast nite had v2 boxsets $150 and vaxis 1 book
@@maddmannt.v. I was actually a little mad because they were at SDCC and that's when they were giving out Vaxis ii books and autographs 🙄😒
Confirmed they had box sets in Los Angeles for the show here
At the Salt Lake show they had both Vaxis 1 and Vaxis 2 books by themselves. And they also they had box set to get.
When I learned that it was Sirius, I lost it. I adore the Afterman storyline and always thought that Sirius had found Merri when he ventured back into the Keywork. Mind=blown.
Same here!!!
I just saw an interview the other day with Claudio and he said that his grandfather had recently passed away and that he was the inspiration for Sirius Amory so he wanted to bring him back as an homage to his grandfather. I also saw a theory on The Fence subreddit that Our Love could be from Sirius' POV and that maybe he found Meri and was able to make amends.
Anyways I too am absolutely thirsty for the next album even though it won't be out for 2 years at least. Vaxis 2 is probably the most varied and still concise album they've put out. I've listened to it maybe 50 times since it came out and the song that I CANNOT get enough of is Ladders of Supremacy. It's the best song on the album with the other 12 tied for second place. Funnily enough when Naianasha came out as a single I thought it was good but probably my least favorite single that they had released but after hearing it follow Ladders it just clicked and it's probably the song that gets stuck in my head more often than not.
Oh I love that theory on Our Love! I actually had a similar theory that A Disappearing Act I’d from Sirius’ POV.
I also love Ladders of Supremacy! One of my favorite tracks, the whole album is fantastic!!
Dude I’m the same in that I can’t stop listening. Great album and can’t wait for their next instalment
I don't really agree with the "Our Love" take. To me, I feel like that song represents Nia and Nos kinda reaffirming their love after all the stress their relationship has been through. They've had to deal with sort of being in a rocky place brought on by the stressors of their son being catatonic and having no hope of healing him, with the addition of a bit of jealousy coming from Nos over Gob. I'd say I sum most of it up in the main lyrics "Our love won't surrender to the odds up against us."
“All Mother, we’re free” - that gave me chills lol so damn cool. Thank you so much for going over this. I haven’t had a chance to read the book yet and was just dying to get the story details.
You're totally the go to when it comes to C&C lore. Thanks for the breakdown, these videos are always fun to watch!
Claudio tagged you in his story on Instagram. That’s how I found this! You must be so stoked!
I couldn’t believe it!!! Total fan girl moment!
It totally blew my mind when he showed up again at the end, and not gonna lie I totally cried 🤘😭🤘. Another great vid, my fellow COTF! 🤘🤘🤘
It was so fun to watch all 11 of the videos in your playlist back to back. I knew bits and pieces of Amory lore from intermittent Googling over the years but always struggled to keep everything straight. I took notes this time around while I watched them. I have almost 6 sheets of names and plot lines, ha! Thank you so much for doing these.
Thanks for watching! I love how Coheed makes nerds out of all of us lol. What other band could make you want to take notes? That’s awesome!
Thank you for this series! Coheed & Cambria are one of the two bands that massively shaped my early teenage years, and shaped my musical trajectory afterwards. They mean so much to me, but for one reason or another I have never interfaced with the Amory Wars side of things. This series has been super helpful for getting an idea of what everything is about without spoiling every detail. I look forward to reading these comics some day soon! I'm seeing C&C live in concert for the first time ever this coming Saturday, and I wanted to elevate my understanding of the story to commemoratet the occasion. Thanks for being a part of my journey with this band! Wow that was waaaay sappier than I intended it to be, oops!
Haha if you think your comment was sappy, you should see the video I did on why C&C are my favorite band. I get wayyy sappy haha!
Glad I could help you expand your perspective of the band. Enjoy your fist Coheed show!! It’s always an incredible experience with them:)
This is so legit, thank you for covering it.
The whole album is a banger, it hits different than vaxis 1. My fav is bad Man. I love the Shaft reference
First saw Coheed in Nyack, NY in the Fall of 2001 with Further Seems Forever and Rufio. Been a die-hard fan ever since. I am a HUGE comic book geek so not only do we get impeccable music, but we get amazing comics that delve into the universe! Keep up the good work! Hearts!
3 awesome bands I've also seen, though not together. 2001, so was that still Chris Carraba FSF?
@@ApolloStarfall yes sir! My friend from college still has pictures. Tiny venue. Saw Glassjaw, Taking Back Sunday and Brand New there as well In 01-02 ish. So many great memories! Peace!
@@travis100182 Thats awesome! I saw them when Jason Gleason took over. Still great, just different. That show was them, Finch, and Something Corporate
I literally screamed with joy at the mention of Sirus and his return! GOOSEBUMPS!
Fan girl moment 10/10 😂
@@JJMetalhead Agreed fan boy moment for me also! Does this mean we might see Claudio return down the line as well? It never really was definite on whether he died in the destruction of the fence or not! So here's hoping!
@@poeticlicensetokill Hopefully the NWFT comics will inform us of the ending. Maybe we’ll even get them before the next album 🤞🏻
@@JJMetalhead Hoping so! I want to see if my theory checks out!
Thank you so much for putting this video (and all the others) together! Cannot wait to get my copy! Amped for the next parts of Vaxis (and fav track is Rise, Naianasha!, especially with this context!)
I just binged your entire series and it was great. You helped answer 20 years of questions and hazy understanding for my favorite band. I really appreciate it! 🖤
Glad I could help. Thank you for watching!
Fantastic video girl! I've been looking for a breakdown of the stories for so long 🤘
Thanks for the video! I really enjoy watching your videos after I read the books. It really helps nail down the story in my mind. Nice work!
Love having you back on the Coheed explainer.
Your videos are very helpful! I discovered coheed when I was 12 with IKSSE3 and always thought the story was overwhelming but you break it down very well!
Holy shit what are the odds I just discovered your series and see that you uploaded a new part just today! i'm still learning about the early amory wars stuff like literally 30 mins ago i started watching but thank you so much for this content! as someone that honestly doesn't read much this is perfect for understanding the badass music on a deeper level!
Thank you so much for watching, glad I could help your understand of the story! 🤘🏻
Thank you for this. I watched all of these today. Now I want to listen through the albums again.
Wow, I didn't realize the new story was so deep, clever, and interesting. I just saw them live for the 5th time (and it was hands down their highest quality performance I've seen) but I think it would have been even more emotionally impactful had I watched your video first, so thanks for these videos!
Dang. Thanks JJ! I believe you are the ONLY one (that I could find) that explains these tales.
Thank thank thank you!!!!!! There books are so hard to get. It makes listening to coheed so much better understanding what's going on in the world. Your channel needs more love not enough concept album breakdowns. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for watching! 🤘🏻
Yesss just saw them in concert and had to come find your videos again
Just discovered your channel and I've always wanted someone to explain the comics!! Thanks so much :)))
Found this in the Coheed FB Group. Great explanation 🌶
Thank you for watching!
Couldn't wait for this video. Thank you
Loving this album. Happy to see your video.
I'm gonna see them tonight! Can't wait to jam out after watching this playlist. Thanks for the info!
Enjoy the show!!
You did a great job explaining! This is great!!! Thank you! 🥰
Hi JJ! I've been a Coheed fan and stumbled upon one of your videos and ending up watching them. I'm also really glad when I saw a playlist of Ayreon on your channel. I'll be blasting through it very soon!
You may get interested in narrating the story for the Dream Theater's concept album Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From A Memory.
Great vid. Vaxis 2 might be my favorite album from Coheed at this point. Every song is extremely fun and high energy. I went to see them in DC two days ago and it was amazing. Claudio always seems to be able to bottle lighting.
I did the math, if one week in the keywork = 547 days, then a year in the keywork is approximately 77 years. If we approximate that Sirius spent 40 years in the keywork that would be about 3120 years that has passed outside of the keywork.
Holy shit! Thank you for doing the math!
@@JJMetalhead I did see the No World for Tomorrow comic comes out in May, will be looking forward to that video.
@@JamesBuschell Yes! I’m so excited to read it!!
I really want to thank you for all of these videos explaining the storyline. I'm visually impaired so I can't read the comics for myself so these videos of you explaining the whole storyline are a huge help to me. I discovered your channel while looking for explanations of the emiry wars and vaxis I either last year or the year before. I saw that you had other videos for other bands and I think I watched a few but I completely forgot about your channel! Today I was searching for explanations for this album and as soon as I saw your face I immediately remembered that I had seen your videos before and liked them. I subscribed before composing this message so next time I won't forget! I'm also a fan of Mastodon and iron maiden and I think a few other bands you are a fan of and have videos on. I'm definitely going to check some of your other videos to see which ones I've missed. Again, thank you so much for helping people like me experience a little bit of the storyline from the comics! Thank you, metal sister!
EDIT: corrected typos caused by voice recognition.
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching! If you ever have any concept albums suggestions you would like me to cover, let me know 🤘🏻
@@JJMetalhead do you like avantasia? That's the first band that came to mind for me. Most, if not all of their albums are concept albums. I would love to see you do a video on their album titled the mystery of time. They have so many good ones that really, any one you choose to do a video on would be great. On the off chance that you haven't listened to the band before, I'm sure there's a pretty big chance that you will like them based on what other bands you like come on at least from what I've noticed. You have a varied taste in metal and rock, and that helps!
@@GrimAhren I know of them but I’m not too familiar with their stuff. I also didn’t know they have concept albums. I’ll be sure to check them out! Thank you for the suggestion!
@@JJMetalhead awesome. The first two albums go together and they're called metal Opera 1 and 2. Then there's the scarecrow trilogy which starts with the album called the scarecrow. After that trilogy comes The mystery of time which is a standalone if I remember correctly, or maybe the next album after that is the sequel. I honestly can't remember. You can have the very least check their albums on Wikipedia and you should be able to glean some info on which ones are connected and which ones aren't. I think the very last one is a standalone and I think it has a looser concept compared to something like the scarecrow. At the very least, I hope you enjoy listening to their albums. Their sound changes a bit from album to album, kind of like coheed so if you don't like something right away don't write them off completely.
I don't know how familiar you are with the band, but it is actually a super group. Tobias, the lead singer, created the band and he composes all of the music and lyrics and everything, and he invites singers from other bands to sing in the album with him. Usually when there are multiple singers in a song each person is portraying a different character. The band is symphonic metal so I think there's a chance you'll like them. Just for the hell of it, you should listen to a few songs from their very first album and then compare it to something like this scarecrow or the mystery of time and notice the change and sound. Have fun, JJ!
dude! just watched your unboxing video for the speaker, never knew you lived in Tennessee, we're neighbors! i'm next door in Myrtle Beach (originally from NJ) but i'm traveling back up north for coheed's philly show next week. sooooo stoked!!!
Hello neighbor! Thanks for watching, enjoy the Philadelphia show!!!
Stumbled upon the album recently and can’t stop listening to it, pretty cool to hear the actual story of it.
Hi JJ I love your amory wars videos
Thank you for making them
Love the vessel in the background!
I'm really with you when you say Coheed is your favorite band of all time.
Just found your channel. Thanks for the explaining the story! I absolutely love the new album and it’s right into a top 3 Coheed album for me. Best songs IMO are Beautiful Losers, Love Murder One, Ladders, Cut the Cord and The title track. Just saw them in Toronto last night. It was a fun show and they sounded great but the set list wasn’t my favourite. I just think they played too many singles/poppy songs like Blood Red Summer, Favor House Atlantic, Blood and Running Free. I’d rather hear songs like Ladders of Supremacy, Three Evils, Gravemakers and some of the Afterman Tunes or some other deeper cuts. But overall it was a great show!
Those last 4 words, I got goosebumps! 😂
Saw them live in Philly the other week and was an absolute blast!
Thanks for the explanation of this story super cool. This album is a top 3 album for me and honestly Window of the waking mind is my favorite song off this album + of all coheed songs.
Window of the waking mind is an absolute masterpiece. Definitely one of my favorite Coheed songs of all time!
Im cheesing with you hella. The afterman was my fave.
Or maybe there are more of that speaker out there and what if every speaker can bring back any entity? Its mind blowing now
Thank you great video ❤️
OH MY GOD, Afterman and V2 are my favorite albums by Coheed so that revela is huge. as soon as you said "in a space suit" i was like OH MY GOD SRIUS
So glad someone else was fan girling the f*ck out like I was!!
@@JJMetalhead the level of fangirl is apparent in my inability to correctly spell several words in that comment *Despite* spell check existing lmao
Thank you for sharing your joy 😊
great job thank you so much im so pumped to see them for my first time in Aug but ive been listening to them for 10 years im very invested in the amory wars story but ive never seen them live im going to cry like a little girl probably and im ok with that also thanks for the heads up on the merch i will be defiantly be buying this book God bless you sister of the Fence.
Have fun at your first Coheed show!!
And I have to apologize because I just realized it’s actually the Vaxis 1 book they are selling not the Vaxis 2 book. I’m so sorry!
@@JJMetalhead oh hell ya i needed that one first any ways
I totally burst I to tears at the end. Mind blown
Thank you for this, you rock!
I just like the melodies. I had no idea about the depth of the lore lol crazy.
QUINtillian (meaning 5) speakers. Sirus met 5 Key Entity's. Coincidence
Oh…. 😮
Been waiting for this one
I'll be at the nashville show this saturday!!
First of all, love your videos, especially the Afterman ones as REALLY struggled with the story behind them without your help. Secondly, though I think you've missed a key fact from Vaxis part 1: 'The Unheavenly Creatures' about the Dark Sentencer prison planet. It quite clearly states in the lyrics to that song that this place is part of the REMAINS of what was Heavens Fence and that HOSS has since been using these different remains for various purposes, including MINING their centers with slave gangs, one of which Nia as 'Sister Spider' manages before Nostrand finds her in Vaxis 1 along with the existence of a 'Window' in its depths too, centers of which contain 'Quintillian Speakers', or as we now realize from Vaxis part 2, KEYWORK ENERGY. As for Sirius Amory, I don't think he's been doing anything in the intervening time but has been suspended in safety along with what remains of his spaceship AI 'All Mother' in one of the Key Entities. HOSS clearly have also heard legends of the Keywork and its power but hasn't quite joined the dots together (but who know through trial and error that energy can indeed 'resurrect' them, which is why (SPOILER) in the epilogue even though their armada has been destroyed they see the existence of a window like Vaxis who can actually SURVIVE contact with a Quintillian Speaker as a sign of hope for their own plans), while Candelaria, who, as a (SPOILER) 'vampiric' presence as head of the Liars Club, draining its young recruits pulled in by its image of unadulterated illicit PLEASURE of their literal 'blood' is implied to be VERY, VERY old (symbolized by the Egyptian sarcophagus style appearance he and his guards have), probably even then HOSS themselves, and so REMEMBERS the Prise and the Keywork, and so as a tool to control HOSS, was also possibly planning to use this one he was going to smuggle into their 'Seed' base as a weapon to control them. Just my thoughts, but the story of Vaxis (or Claudio and Condra's new son same aged Atlas), along with Claudio (as Nostrand here) and Nia (Chondra) is VERY much a continuation of the Amory Wars, so its no surprise really that such fundamental parts of it like the Keywork energy, Key Entities, and the Prise shouldn't return also. who knows: in Vaxis part 3, we may EVEN get some continuing existence of something from Claudio, Coheed, Cambria, and others in those first Amory Wars, and possibly even the Mages (and Tri Mages), within the Keywork as Entities TOO, thanks to the final Harrowing of 'No world For Tomorrow'? We'll just see, but CLEARLY Vaxis as a child and growing adult in the remaining three albums of this planned series (and whatever hints are planted when the 'No World For Tomorrow' comics are eventually written) will be the key to bridging these two, separate by millennia, sets of stories together. Whatever, it's going to be a VERY interesting journey, with your invaluable help here of course, in the next probable ten years (which would take Vaxis/Atlas up to teenage years, much like Claudio in 'Second Stage Turbine') finding out.
Thank you for sharing! I didn't connect all those dots so this was a very interesting read! To clear up the part about Vaxis 1 and the prison planet, what I meant to say was that in Vaxis 1, I wasn't sure if those plants were a part of the Heaven's fence of IKKSE3 and onward or if it was part of the nine planets that broke off of the Keywork in SSTB (I don't think I explained this right in this video). But, I agree with what you were saying in the beginning. Especially with the addition of Vaxis 2. Can't wait to see where the story goes! Thanks for watching and sharing your theories!
Ooooo. Been waiting fot this
Thanks so much for this. The album is fantastic. For me right now tracks 1-5 are fantastic, and the last 4 the same. It’s the middle few that I’m not in love with. Vaxis I for me is still flawless front to back, this one can become that as well. I have the Boxset and the vinyl. Thank you! Joe
I think the Quintillion Speaker he “came out of” WAS his Entity form. It looks so similar to the art of his suit from after man, and I wonder if that’s the form he took when he was in the keywork.
I love this!!
Whaaa! Hey! I'm Kyle from the concert meet-up! The one in the SS Neverender shirt! This popped up on my suggestions and I was like "hey! I know her!
Hey Kyle!! Fancy meeting you here! Lol hope you enjoyed the concert as much as I did!!
@@JJMetalhead absolutely! The face paint was next level!
So I just wanted to throw my hat in the ring for some lore stuff. I always kinda felt that the quintillion speakers were more of an amalgamation of many keywork entities. We also know that many souls in the keywork are "unfulfilled" souls, like domino, holly wood, etc. I also think I read somewhere that Sirius never returned from his mission to save his wife, so I think he may have died and became an unfulfilled keywork entity. I think Vaxis is unique in that he can pull these entities back into the universe from these quintillion speakers. So, what if he were to come across other speakers that had other characters from the past stories. That makes all of the killgannons up for grabs, Jesse, etc. That also stands to reason that some old villains also could make an appearance. With Claudio saying that these 5 albums are the axis by which the entire amory wars revolves, seeing old faces will kinda be in line with that. (Hence why it has Vaxis being the main character for everything. 5 albums: V and axis of the story:axis = Vaxis) all in all, this story has been incredible so far and I can't wait for more to come. Love the video and keep them coming.
Awesome theory! You very well could be right, and we might get to see some characters return from the dead. I can’t wait to find out more, let’s hope the next installment comes soon!
If a week to Sirius was 758 days, and he was around 40 when he entered, and say he's in his early sixties when he comes back, that's at least 2000 years that have passed in Heaven's Fence since the events of No World for Tomorrow. Fucking. Epic.
Holy shit. Thank you for doing the math!
You are so very welcome. I'm just happy to have a youtuber who's one among the fence!
Also, it makes the reintroduction of the Prise that much more astounding! Between that and Sirius coming back, I think Claudio (IRL) might be gearing up for a reunification of the stories. Maybe Vaxis can be the new "Claudio" (in universe) and do what the previous one couldn't do; reunite The Keywork, but with an understanding of the keywork entities such that they aren't tortured souls, but willing participants
@@ApolloStarfall Awesome theory! I would love to see that happen and it seems like that might be where the story is headed:)
Finally got my keywork tattoo! Too bad I can't post it here
Just by the music, The Final Cut sorta leads me to think of a great violence followed by a serene environment with confusion throughout.
Window of the Waking Mind is so damn good! It feels so different from Unheavenly Creatures but it also feels like it makes sense as a part 2. Some of those songs really take me back to classic Coheed
Coheed story talk with the Stormlight Archives in the background? JJ, you just got a new sub :)
Two of my favorite things!!!
What I wouldn't do to sit down at a coffee shop and pick your brain. You've got some dedication.
I actually got alittle teared up of just Joy and happiness. Can't wait for more Claudio is littery a genius in many rights
He absolutely is! I can’t wait to see where to story goes from here:)
@@JJMetalhead me either!! :) whatever and whenever I'll be pre-ordering lol. Also you do a kick ass job on all the bands that write concept albums seriously. It really is awesome too see someone else who actually listens too the music and understands the story behind it.
@@deadtotheworld936 Thank you!!
YOOOOOO SIRIUS AND THE PRISE! IM STOKED!
I named my daughter Cambria, and my son, coming in a few months is gonna be named Cyrus. (Last name is Black, so I'm not gonna burden him with spelling it Sirius). This lore drop is insane, thank you so much!
Love the names!!
i decided to stop listening to the album long enough to watch your vid; im glad i did! 💙💙
Been listening to both vaxis albums a lot lately..in hindsight, there are so many musical and lyrical hints that it's all part of the same story. They use a lot of similar musical motifs (clearly on purpose), and occasionally, a lyrical motif (less clear), which i originally though was just a nice nod to the fans, but knowing what i know now, were clearly meant to be clues
@5:30 in the dark sentencer.."Welcome Home"
The beginning of Beautiful Losers is from The Road and the Damned
Hey JJ, do u think…you could kinda do a summary of like what even is happening on the each song? Like Beautiful Losers…lines up with what events of the story? Etc etc? (BTW! As I was watching this video I ordered the VAXIS 2 set!
🤘🏽😝🤘🏽) Rock on JJ!
I've had a lot of requests to go track by track with each song and try to decipher each lyric. It would be a big undertaking (to do their whole discography) but it's definitely something I want to do in the future!
@@JJMetalhead for sure it would. I wasn’t asking THAT far. Just a basic summary of the events taking place. Even if you never do, your “explained” videos have really cleared up ALOT. I always knew there was a story but never bothered to find out until recently. (Mindcrime was awesome too, LOVE THAT ALBUM!). Thanks for responding and all these videos JJ.
It's been at least 2400+ years for that character at the end....
Wooo! I wanna read it but i cant wait for them to be purchasable eventually. Still mad theres no nwft comics
He just said in his Twitch stream on Friday that they are finished.
Also...seen the Saturday for their tour and they were incredible. 6th time seeing them and they have gotten better every time.
I also saw them this past Saturday! Also my 6th time seeing them and I totally agree! Best show ever!
@@JJMetalhead They've come along way from when I seen them open for Linkin park.
Keep up the good work on these videos, i've watch like 6 today. Great stuff ✌️
Just wondering if the book explains what "Love Murder One" the phrase means or what the song is about in relation to the story! Thank you! Really enjoying watching your explained videos as someone who loves the music but never gotten into the story behind it
It’s funny you ask about that song because it’s the one track on the album that I have no idea how it ties into the concept! Haha I think heard Claudio say in an interview that that song was originally written around the time of Vaxis 1 but it didn’t fit with the rest of the album so it got cut. So it could be about Nos and Nia’s relationship when the were on the rocks back in vaxis 1.
@@JJMetalhead the mystery continues then, haha. Thanks for the reply 😊
Love Murder One is amazing.
Just finished reading the book. Fucking amazing
I saw them last night in Minneapolis. The giant alien head centerpiece blew me away. I want the collectors book now lol
I was in complete awe when the Quintilian Speaker inflated in the beginning! I was just a great moment. I’m glad you got to catch them on this tour, they are unlike I’ve ever seen them!
@@JJMetalhead I didn't know it was inflated, that makes total sense! It was unlike any concert I've been to. They set the bar & I'm WAY more of a fan now!
Claudio posted your video on his Instagram story
I just saw!! Can’t believe it!!!
Came here to say this
Maybe the speaker is claudio
Now THAT would be insane!
🤩 Your excitement makes up for the fact that I have no COTF friends IRL to freak out over this with. The reveals put a big lump in my throat. SPOILER: I had thought that Rise was gonna be about Nia's death and I'm stoked that it wasn't but not convinced it wasnt foreshadowing for the following installments.
Claudio does have ha tendency to kill off the female love interest. I’m preparing myself for Nia’s death now so that maybe when it happens it will be less painful 🥲
Idk if you saw, but on Claudio's IG story he posted a picture of him starting to write NWFT.
Yes! I’m so excited! I hope we get it soon but I know illustrations,coloring, etc will take a while.
Sounds to me as though this all takes place before Amory Wars and may be about how the Keywork was brought forth.
I was thinking that originally too. But I do believe there have been recent interviews where Claudio says it takes years and years later.
@@JJMetalhead can you send me a link to those interviews. I’m curious to see anything else he discussed.
Cac is always my fav band, same as u so im subscribing 😁
Best band in the world! Thanks for subbing!
So i named my kids coheed and Cambria bucket list #1 is checked ❤️
No world for tomorrow is about the dark tower saga written by stephen king
I personally think it would be cool if the Entity would be Sentry the Defiant. Since Sirius had helped him pass over to Samaritaine and get away from Vic the Butcher. Like maybe in his pursuit of Meri, Sentry tried to help him as Sirius did and they were captured somehow. I also have a theory that the containment units were created by Wilhelm Ryan in some attempt to continue control of Keywork energy and now they're held as rare relics by the post Fence civilization.
LOVE your theory about Ryan and the containment units! I can definitely see that happening. And it would be cool for Sentury to come back!
Well, she said the speaker looks masculine
Sirius has been trapped in it
He's been trapped with Vic the Butcher for 1 million years...
Hahahaha oh no!
Story overview starts at 3:00
Sirius is on the album cover.
I totally did not even realize it until much later!! 🤣🤣
I'd like to believe heavens fence is actually a parallel universe and the energy of the keywork is acting like a door between it and this universe. Kind of the same way how the world's were taken originally but now that the crowing may have destroyed the integrity of the fence the energy could be randomly showing up kind of throwing up remnants from that place. Just a different interpretation but I like thinking at some point the crowing will come through one possibly with ambelinas body.
Interesting theory! Hopefully we’ll find out more soon once the NWFT comics get released.
Are you at all down for a live discussion covering Amory timeline?
Sure! Scheduling is kinda tough for me since i have a 9 moth old, but i'm definitely interested!
hiiiii!!
Hey say. if i could suggest an awesome concept album for you that i feel is this generation's version of The Wall. Vektor's "Terminal Redux" album. Itd be awesome to hear your theories or thoughts on that albums story. It doesnt help that the lead vocalist reminds me of Claudio visually and bears some strong writing chops akin to him. But story wise? Vaxis Act II is solid. Probably more concrete and action packed than Act I and easily for me to follow. But musically i find myself revisiting Act I the most
I haven’t heard of that band, but I’ll check them out and add them to the list!
@@JJMetalheadTerminal Redux is definitely worth it. Musically it is one of those metal albums that is so strong that you have to read the lyrics. The story for it is awesome. one dude started writing a comic for it but never finished back in 2016.
Got the book but just wanted to hear you tell it anyway lol
Newo ikkin = nikki owen (Claudio's ex fiance) random fact o day
Don't have comics for NWFT....YET! 😁😁
The books were sold out like 4 shows into the tour
Yeah there were selling out of stuff quick! I had early entry and they were already sold out of both the candelaria mask and the sister spider mask by the time they got there. Hopefully they will come out with more after the tour.
Does the book show what songs go with the story?
Not exactly, no. Reading the story give your insight into the songs, but it’s not track by track and a lot of it is left up to your interpretation.
I had the original comic graphic novel thing they ever made.
A dumb friend of mine ruined it.
I started listening to coheed in 2005 maybe 2004.
Oh no! That’s awful. I’ve recently heard a lot of stories about priceless merch getting ruined by friends/roommates/ex’s… I’m sorry to hear that, especially from an OG fan!
You got audio issues on this one. A fuzzy background noise like a fan is fizzing.
Idont think there selling the book at the concerts. I went to a Vaxis ii concert in Tampa and the guy said they only had the Amory wars. And on Coheeds Twitter I said "I wish there was a way I can get the book" they said "you can. box set"😑😒
I really just want the book not the whole thing.. so thank you for the breakdown. You were honestly my last resort.
Hey, I’m so sorry I just realized it’s the Vaxis 1 book they were selling not the Vaxis 2 book.
Maybe eventually they’ll release vaxis 2 in paperback. 🤞🏻
@@JJMetalhead no worries queen I figured it was Vaxis 1. Because I did see that. I was about to flip shit because at that point the merch man AND Coheed Twitter lied to me 🤣
