LYRICS:
So I arrived, naked and cold
A welcomed change from the abeyance of a ghost town catacomb
No need for counsel I appreciate the time I’m not alone
(Why don’t you get my lawyer on the phone)
There were days these child eyes
Would overlook the ugliness and fantasize
I found my heart for the first time and I awakened in me
I left myself to navigate… and oh I felt control
(It appears these sheep have quite an appetite)
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage,
As we perform here upon the stage?
As the boy became a man
In came a calm sophistication I can hardly understand
So lost in ego, didn’t notice when the time had slipped away
(Yeah, Everyone’s got a sob story)
Jesus Christ, was born to die
Leave it to man to levitate his own to idolize
We’re simply sociopaths with no communication baby
I see your angle but we differ from our points of view
(So, what’s your cross to bear)
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage,
As we perform here upon the stage?
Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
I believe in answers
Just not today
Hope my wheels don’t abandon me now, seein’ that I’m out here alone
I’m runnin’ out of fight
And the wind speaks a comforting voice, guiding me to her arms
Mother, I’m alright
It took the birth of sin to snake-rattle the mind
Before a blow to the head by the gavel of time to wake up
Won’t you wake up?
When did the walking apes decide that nuclear war
Was now the only solution for them keeping the score? Just wake up
Can’t you wake up?
(You do know this is just a simulation, don’t you?)
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage,
As we perform here upon the stage?
Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
I believe in answers
Just not today

Anyone else feel like this song is giving us a message?
yes.. its a warning.
That's the point, and man is it on point!
What's the message, in your opinion?
It's more of Matt Sander's cringeworthy attempt at political commentary. A7x lyrics have never been great.
It's echoing the same message that has been echoed for a long time, the people behind the curtains show the world whatever they want the world to see to distract them
It then goes off into a matter of and they are being controlled by a higher power. The 1%? A religion? Death? The Illuminati? The point is that we don't know who the puppet masters are. The lyrics echo this with stuff along the lines of "wake up".
It feels like they are trying to endorse activism and to aspire to change tbh
Synyster Gates is a legend.
Dom Hill yeah totally
He is playing as good as ever again fuck yeah, the whole band in general
Seems like they have their mojo back. Much more energized playing, everyone played a big role in this song.
A7XFanForLife aa
Dom Hill fuck yeah ax7
Everyone in 2024?
Right here brother
🙋♂️
Always have to revisit this masterpiece
No, im from 2050
🤟
7 years of The Stage. It's been 7 years that I come back at least once a week and get the same chills as the first time. A Grammy was not enough. This is golden.
Definitely their best song, and imo the best prog metal song.
@@goobner420not really. Because the best prog metal goes to dream theater
@@georgjiskywalker8419 very close second
It’s also been 18 years since city of evil
@@cjhehrTime flies, man
I still can't believe this song didn't win a Grammy
Same, when this shit came out before they ditched the Grammys I already knew they were gonna win one for this song, but, yk
@B-13 JOSEPH I think it was released a bit too late for it to get nominated? Not sure tho
They were nominated. The grammy went to Run by Foo Fighters
@2026.Nate Currie you make a good point
How can you win a useless Grammy with no radio play, at least not on Detroit radio anyway. And Detroit radio Is awful.
HOLY SHIT it took me an hour to get this, look at 1:53 the letters form left to right , ETEWABD the abbreviation for those words are "Even The Elites Will All Be Deceived" this is straight out of the bible. I'm freaking out
mikelp1127 i dont see any letters at 1:53?
Joe Coates they are side to side lol or 152
mikelp1127 ohh yes i see it now it goes from top to bottom
2:11 left: ..E ..T ..E right: W.. B.. A.. D..
Joe Coates yea, my bad for not explaining it well
That guitar solo...so emotional. Syn is literally screaming at humanity through his guitar to wake the f*** up. Incredible
Love this metaphor
Syn’s ability to express such powerful emotion through his guitar playing is what makes him one of the best for me… truly incredible 🔥
The race of men are doomed. Only a righteous few will be whisked away. Many shall perish in the next few years to come
isnt it sad were destined to destroy ourselves even if we want to stop it what chances are there to fully stop the hate of this world
Ya cause a millionaire rock star has an accurate feel for the pulse of the world.
Tell me a lie, in a beautiful way... Best line ever
“I believe in answers….just not today.” Hope we start believing soon
Spot on. Time these 🐑🐑 WAKE UP. Now 🤘
Metal is so spot on, just straight up truth, skip the sugar coated bullshit.
is it odd that the video for this hit me more than the song
mario hernandez no
mario hernandez even as a fan of this music its hard to feel a message throught song when its not soft toned and slow
I think You are
not a real fan of A7x.....
& also has no sense About music variation.....
Nishan Raisul karim I loved both the song and the video. A7x is one of my all time favorite bands lol, I'm just saying the message of the video and it's execution was brilliant and engaging, a little more than the song was. But I still loved the song. Also Why would you say I'm "not a real fan" lol that's such a dumb thing to say, you can't measure how much of a fan someone is. It's a pretty supid thing to tell someone.
Oh.... I see... ok then... sorry bro
.... Anyway,Deathbat foREVer....
I hope Jimmy can hear this ❤
Daan Schreijer ):
:( R.I.P. The Rev
Daan Schreijer he can ,somewhere he is smiling
He can't, he's fuckin dead yuh fuckwit
Mitch no shit I meant somewhere in the afterlife, in heaven or whatever you call it.
A7X fan or not, this song is a rock masterpiece, start to finish. Absolute perfection!
Agree 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😎
Couldn't agree more
i thought this album would be closer to prog metal rather than rock no?
This whole album is something beautiful
Metal but yes it's amazing doesn't have to be drop B and screamo to he metal 😂
The Stage is one of the greatest metal albums of all time and I will die on that hill.
You mean all of us will die on that hill
Not even the snobbiest Metallica fan can deny this album and if they do, fk 'em. They're still living in the past where Metal is only one very specific sound and they all sound the same.
@@joejelassilol no just you guys
For me it's always been City of Evil. That album is just masterpiece after masterpiece. But that's the great thing about music, is we all have our individual tastes and opinions--yet, none of us are wrong.🖤🤘🏼
@@karimarie0638 No theyre wrong and you are right.
why does A7X give a better history lesson than my school...
Daniel Jones hahahaha
Daniel Jones agsvdjbbsudhfjdbr absolutely
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Daniel Jones for real
Damn fucking straight.
I never was the biggest fan of A7X (apart from i wont see you tonight pt1 I barely liked many of their other songs), but this video, the lyrics and the song in general deserves all the fucking awards. This is fantastic. These guys have outdone themselves and created a masterpiece
blazejecar what the heck.
I definitely agree with everything you said. Because I'm the same way, I only enjoy a few of their songs.
you didnt listen to enough of them, they already are a masterpiece
I mean I don't think you've heard all their albums if you only call those two enjoyable tbh.
***** Actually I've only never heard the first album, I've heard all the rest. I found the songs good, but...very few songs were more than just "yea, it's cool I guess".
No lie this is one of the most meaningful music videos to exist
It has a bit more meaning than many people realize. You know that green monster hand, holding the puppet strings, at the end? Three years ago, I was exposing and encouraging opposition to the New World Order, when all this paranormal and UFO activity started happening around me. I started getting overtly harassed and my life threatened, by, what turned out to be evil telepathic reptilian demon monsters and their disembodied souls, no joke, at all. They have the natural ability to read our conscious minds, see through our eyes and hear through our ears, utilizing quantum entanglement. They can secretly, telepathically manipulate our minds. They're the crowd that peers through the cage, and are secrerly behind all the evil in the world. They literally get high on some energy, produced by our suffering.
I prayed to be sent angels, and extremely intelligent, benevolent reptilian, "angels," who are currently at war with the demons, contacted me, and told me they wouldn't let the demon monsters anywhere near me, physically. It's now my job to expose the demons. They threaten to kill me in all kinds of ways, hit me with telepathic attacks, electronic weapons from the sky and even beg me to stop, sometimes. These evil pieces of excrement are going down, currently, but they'll be trying to blow up everything they can, on their way down.
Summary, with evidence:

Spread this, everywhere. It's time people find out what's been happening to us. "Come, take a trip with me, but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seeeeeem," as dancing hot girls turn into nasty old dudes, with snake toungs. Keep this stuff in mind, next time you listen to A7x's older stuff (and Pinkly Smooth), Shinedown (his monsters are real, watch the animated video. He was aent to warn you, The Devil's right beside you), and Muse (Origin of symmetry). And consider there was one or two non-evil hybrids in A7x. Listen for the clues.
Watch war pigs
Hard to believe it's 6 years old already, still amazing as when I first heard it.
I love the lyric: "When did the walking apes decide that nuclear war was the only solution for them keeping the score." its so epic
A reflection for us all. A question to be answered
It's a scary statement because it explains and defines a lot of psychopaths on this planet who would happily do it.
I think the thing that really effectively closes that is when he shouts "JUST WAKE UP"
As Exist says, we're 'resource-hungry people'. And yet sometimes we can't see past our own small world's.
Nobody:
apes: bomb go boom
We evolved from apes, well... trump didn't 🤣
@@WilzeyLad actually, a lot of people in politics are incredibly insane, they want money, and if you bomb a country, that means they will need supplies, whos gonna sell them supplies? you get the picture.
This is #10 on trending! Brings a tear to my eye knowing rock/metal is still alive and well amidst the bullshit they play on the radio.
T Salty When I went on to play this song it was trending at #4 I must have played this song 20 times now :)
It was #4 yesterday : )
Brandon Bellegarde it's gone up 30,000 views since I posted this 50 minutes ago. I love A7X fans and am proud to be one.
Also helps that it is a really interesting video.
T Salty #13 now
This is one of the best metal songs written in the last 10 years. The guitar is Badass and sounds ungodly (syn is insane as usually). The vocals are super raspy and on point. The meaning behind the song is also starting to really hit home, especially with everything going on in the world right now
+++++++++
It has been 7 years, I was 14 when this released, now I am 21 and I still haven't backed away from my opinion, that this song is hands down one of the best songs ever written. It is pure perfection, every last bit of it
Most of their songs have a deeper meaning man, i love this band so much
I’m 14 this is now one of my favorite songs of all time love the band in general but this is a masterpiece
Johnny Christ was born to play
the killer bass guitar that I can hardly understand.
Dr.A Ramesh lmao chill
Dr.A Ramesh Who is the guy that beats all the strings. But whose size will never support his skills
hear*
Play me a song
In a beautiful way
I can hear it being sung lol
The hand at the end is pushing a button for a nuclear launch. Afterwards, we become cavemen again, and start over
my head just exploded
O SHIT
James Osyris was that Satan?
nuclear winter
satan doesnt exist that my good sir was something far worse.
That outro right before the acoustic guitar is pure bliss. A complex rift that gradually fades as if to say "And on and on we go" Until the reset button, then the acoustic to symbolize simplicity as the cycle starts again.
If there was an award for "Darkest meaning in a song," then The Stage would definitely be a nominee.
I swear. Shits depressing af.
No joke I actually clapped at the end of the video. That is a fucking masterpiece.
It's depressingly and terrifyingly accurate
CazMatazz says the guy bein a dick on the Internet
Wow *popcorning my popcornic popcorn*
***** I was more talking about the way the song accompanied the video altogether. The song itself is very good, but surely not the best of all A7X songs for sure.
agree 100%
Never been a big fan of Sevenfold, but I gotta say...this song is fucking awesome
THE KNIGHTs WHO SAY NI! Yes it is my Boy.
BRING ME A SHRUBERRY
THE KNIGHTs WHO SAY NI! Monty python tho 😂
I love Avenged Sevenfold, and this is bomb!
Dave Musteredstain A
The sybolism in this video is beautiful. It says war, conflict, and injustice have always been part of human history. People hear and read about these things in a detached way. Little do they know that they are the same people that came before them, just at a different time. If left to their own, people will descend into that insanity, albeit for different reasons. And then the camera turns to you, the one who's watching because you are the same as the rest, don't get it mistaken.
I think that’s what this song is about
"Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it"
This band saved me in high school. I discovered them right before City Of Evil album dropped and I’m happy I did.
Waking the fallens is one of my favorite albums
That WWI scene with the soldiers cowering in the trenches while the officers were toasting and having a good time was so powerful and perfectly captured the way our world is ordered.
Sorry about the late post. But the officers core in ww1 was just as bad off as the conscripted. King Charles was quoted as all our friends are dying over there. That's where the nco class came from. To replace all the officers kill
Yep, it sure is.
They don't call it "Theater of War" for nothing
It's nothing new but they did it well and that's what matters
The leaders are evil indeed.
I can’t believe I just realize the symbolism of this video. (If you disagree let me know what you think I’m all ears but here is what I think) The People, Us, we were watching history and learning about it and how tragic it was with killing, mass murder, and war being the only solution we knew and we were laughing at it when in the end we are going to be the ones up next to perform on the stage and the next generation is going to do the same, laugh at us like we did with the generation below us. It’s a endless cycle. Avenge is/was telling us to wake up from this chaos of mass destruction and break the cycle or we are going to see history start all over again.
Wow amazing I never even though about it you analyzed it very well actually
Can we be friend I really admire your thought )
I thought the crowd were celestial beings laughing at us
It would make sense because he says at the end 'when did the waking apes decide that a nuclear war was the only solution for them keeping the score?' backing up your point of saying modern society is on route and track to make the same mistake of the last couple hundred years (America and Korea escalating tensions are an example) with him to say "just wake up"
And then to further back up what you're saying, the first verse comes back to say we're all just performing the extreme acts of the violence in the name of "someone wall call God" (that's from Exist), to conquer and resolve disputes (and sometimes to satisfy our ego). Will this generation become like our predecessors? Simply performing up on the stage so our next generation can laugh in both disgust and have the attitude of 'well yes but we're not like them'.
Thanks, by the way, this song has a view now!
This song and Exist are amazing.
History repeats itself, can this be undone?
This Album wasn't my favorite, but this song specifically is one of their most technical compositions ever. It's truly a masterpiece.
Bro, I'll be honest, I've been watching all the old a7x vids, and I'm crying cause they're so GOOD! Each of them has all the members are having so much fun telling stories through each song! It's so damn beautiful! I'm glad they're still kickin ass to this day!

That rhymed wtf
You should write for the band lol
buck3theadman just like wine. the older the better.
LazyWatermelon how were the dementors prison mike?
look son, Bucket Head
This video guts me every damn time. I miss those days. I will always remember my band "Skelton Crew". We called ourselves "Headache" at first to annoy our parents (that's self-explanatory). We were sitting there at practice one day wondering why out of 4 people we could only get 3 of us at any given time to show up to practice (we were helions and most of the time at least one of us was grounded, lol).
So we're all standing there, and out of frustration, our sing/bass player just blurts out, WHY THE FUK ARE WE ALWAYS WORKING WITH THE "SKELTON CREW"! Needless to say, we all just looked at each other, and Brian said, "Yeah, I think I just changed our name." We all agreed, and we were reborn as Skelton Crew.
This song has got to be the absolute pinnacle of A7X. Absolutely phenomenal.
I have much more respect for Synyster as a guitarist now, after hearing this. Definitely can't wait to get my hands on this album.
He definitely stepped it up. His playing was always spectacular, but this song is genuinely special. I like that it's so long and has those long bridges.
John IsPro I always enjoy seeing good players get better. It motivates me to get better.
What about like Scream, MIA and all the others where it's like 'oh...' Did you prefer this to them cos like this is pretty sweet
I like all the music, but this showcases Syn's ability to play other forms of lead, other than just sweep picking the whole time, which gets a little repetitive after a while. I also loved the acoustic part in the middle and the spanish guitar at the end.
You see, that's what I hated about HTTK. I'm glad that he went back to the creativity of COE. Though my favorite solo is still Second Heartbeat.
This vid deserves a lot more views
Roberto Nome it literally just came out 2 weeks ago .
Levi Jones Still, that's quite a long time.
kind of ironic that you have a metallica picture on and your giving credit to a7x XD, no disrespect, i love them both, but you've got to admit, what the hell was this means war
It was 1 song in a real similar style and A7X obviously are influenced greatly by Metallica (like almost every other metal band). More of a nod to Metallica than "ripping off". Not ironic at all.
Avenged Sevenfold should have put Adam and eve in the beginning of the puppet show instead of two cavemen, they were the first human's on earth, and also the first people to sinned against god's will by consuming the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Nobody brought me here. This band is just mind-blowing. They killed everything with this album. They'll do it once again.
That final with a spanish guitar at the end... Goosebumps...
This band's progress over the years has been unbelievable
Lord Sval Xeno true enuf
Just because they change their sound, doesn't mean they went backwards. Nightmare was my favorite, it has that eerie feeling.
Waking the Fallen is awesome, though I like all the others too
Lord Sval Xeno Xeno Morph
"Us old fans" By that you mean? The screaming heavy sound of Sounding The Seventh Trumpet? The mixed screaming and raspy sound of Waking The Fallen? The raspy with background screaming sound on City Of Evil and Avenged Sevenfold? The raspy with not much screaming sound of Nightmare? The pretty much entirely raspy sound of Hail To The King and The Stage? Avenged Sevenfold just evolved, they make music they want to. M.Shadows isn't going to scream if he doesn't want to on future releases. So move on, accept how they sound in the present
The transition from WW1 to WW2 was *EPIC*
I mean ik your talking about the skit, but shit not in real life 😂😂

This song is beautiful honest and just the truth of mankind, a masterpiece
This song has everything. 100% Avenged Sevenfold. I wouldn't add anything or take anything away, it's another perfect, mind blowing track.
well said my friend.

Heard this the week it came out and LoudWire was there too!!! They said this was 2 recordings. Synyster Gates himself made the guitar rift's and recorded it. 2 weeks later the rest of A7X listen to what he accomplished and came in and filled in the blanks!! 2 songs incorporated into 1!!! Super Talented A7X!!! Still my favorite song of all time from you guy's and I know the history in it!!
god i just heard this song for the first time today. I had to replay the last 4 mins about 10 times. What a fucking killer piece of music.
Imagine the cruelty of these scenes if they were real.
Oh wait..
It's fuckin real

When? I've never noticed Syn's vocals on this track
time please?
I doubt that was Syn. He usually doesn't provide any vocals. That sounded like Matt.
@@JZJ7777 exactly, I think it's Matt too
he has that special husky tone
@JJ7777 syn sings all the time
The violence of humanity is an endless cycle. But as long as we have music and art I think we can change. Hearts and minds people. This is how you do it.
I just have to say: This is so fucking amazing, the guitars, the drums, the voice, the thematic, they did it again, and i'm agree with everyone, this song deserve more views, but out of the marketing, I think they are doing what they really want, being themselves, and playing what they like, without care if the world prefers pop. And I say again, this album in general is so fucking amazing.
They are doing what they want, and there is a factor that makes everything better: they are not begginers. They have experience, they're mature, and the result of experience + talent is what we've been seeing from them.
Lucas Palmeira gfocg oficial
Now The Stage is A7X best album
The Hunting Party your English is very good :)
Cody Whitney thank you man
It's amazing. This is a legit famous band, this is a critically acclaimed song and album, but have heard nothing on the radio
dante040
I've heard this song on the radio many times.
Enrique Godinez satellite or terrestrial?
dante040 It comes on every now and then where I live, it could be playing more, but I don't know cause I'm usually listening to my cds.
I'd rather not hear it on the radio because, I don't know about other stations, but mine only plays a shortened version that cuts out most of the best parts, including almost the whole ending (and obviously the whole intro). I have heard it at least 3 times though and I listen to radio about once a week, so it depends on the area, apparently.
Falkuzrules They play the whole thing where I live, and I fucking love it. How could you cut out anything? They don't do that to Metallica or Megadeth songs.
Every time without fail, A7X manages to give me chills with their powerful videoclips and music. Absolutely beautiful.
A7X released this album just a week or two after my mom died. Listening to "The Stage", it feels like a song of my grief stages.
This is such a great song, literally made my day. I'm sick of everyone comparing it to older songs and saying it isn't good. Even if this is the absolute worst song off the album it's still amazing.
i love all a7x but this just sounds okay
Thomaesthetics I completely agree! This is such a great song!
+Jacob Bastian yeah 8 minutes long of Nickelback style music... There try copying them I no lodes abot metle music an this isent aveged secenfold
Le Greb R.I.P your grammar
***** I was taking the piss you sperg, get gone
this guitar solo is gold
.....goosebumps every time
Which one? 😂
Kameron Ulibarri Yeah, I was about to say
Omg samee
The whole song is a guitar solo, except were m shadows is singing
That solo is like the solo of "I'm a Evil?-Metallica" is too good 🤘🏻
This song is EVERYTHING.
It serves ALL purpose
Pretty prophetical view of where we're headed.....and where we are today. Amazing band with a pretty clear view on the world imo. Love you A7X!
Man this song goes deep for what’s going on right now.
Exactly why I came here for...
Same
Yea had to come watch it again for the same reason. Wanted to see who they had having control over the world leaders
C'mon guys, its has been always and everywere and nobody care. Unless it comes to your home
SAME
As someone who fell off Avenged Sevenfold years ago, if the whole album is as prog-esque as this, sign me the fuck back up.
Sign me up too!
Same
Beyond the Radio they definitely have the talent to do it. Would be interesting to see
And I never left, TBH I LOVED Hail To The King, mainly Shepherd of Fire, This Means War, Heretic, Planets and St. James (It reminds me of my deceased grandfather :D)
Alot of people here dont appreciate their other albums they are so stuck onto sounding of the seventh trumpet and waking the fallen. Personally i love all of their albums and man I have a feeling this will be more epic than hail to the king!
This song is an actual masterpiece, this video really does put everything into perspective. These guys are geniuses!
This song gives me goosebumps
Me too
When he sings "Won't you wake up" yep. Goose bumps every time. Love this band.
I don't know what just happened but it was fucking awesome
MaDxShAdOwZ the video shows the reality today
I fucking feel you bro
It was pretty cool
pretty much about how humans started then survived then thrived then corruption greed kicks in and war and eventually we will just end up killing ourselves only to start all over again.
Harry Hunt I'd say it's more about the theme of mankind's violent and self concerned nature where we all aspire to get the upper hand on one another. There was murder and corruption since the beginning. Early humans were no better than the humans of today. They conclude by expressing that this innate nature of getting a one up on the other through murder shows that we may quite possibly all kill ourselves, and nobody wins but the theme, death.
We need this song more than ever now.
Indeed
facts no printer

Of course
They're my heroes. What they couldn't come right out and say, all this time, they add as visuals; at the top, we're manupulated and, "ruled," by...REPTILIAN DEMON MONSTERS! These dastard monsters have been overtly harassing me for a year, now, ever since I decided to save the world from the, "New World Order." Real angels have also contacted me and are protecting me from these filth. I've been very skeptical, especially trusting the angels, who, by the way, are extremely intelligent, benevolent gecko like humanoids. They're obviously way smarter than humans. Believe it or not, both the, "demons," and the, "angels," are telepathic, can read our conscious minds, and can do telekinesis, which has happened at my house many times. They're not, "omnipresent," but there are plenty to go around. The angels also are time travelers. They live thousands of years, many are, "eternal." The devil, which I've named, "Butt Hurt the &!(÷,!€$*× %@%!:$," also had a chronovisor, and could not change the future (and it's fate) beyond 2022, when the timelines converged. I'm not beating around the bush here. The demons have the ability to manipulate our minds, without us even realizing it. For that reason, many of you will have knee jerk, negative reactions to this comment. The demons are in the process of going down, right now.

I've compiled great evidence, some original, at Parler.com/tommy321. I promise I'm not nuts or making this up. After this stuff started happening to me, almost all A7x (and Shinedown) songs made so much more sense! These a holes threatened my life so much and, occasionally, still do, but IDGAF! They've shadow banned my FB. I just started tik tok, under the name, "reptilian_demon_exposure." Here's a quick YT start:

one of the most beautiful songs ever made.
One of the best song and music video pairings ever made, hands-down. Relevant no matter which generation of leaders are pulling the strings.
If this isn’t played at my funeral I’m not going
Water lol chill man
Water well done water
But youd be dead...and therefor present? Id still play it just the same mate
You're dead you're going to be forced to be there your dead body I mean you could say "Over My Dead Body"
Lol
"You know this is just a simulation, don't you?" Gave me chills, fuuuck
Hold on when was that I didn't catch it
@@logical_harm 6:35
The Matrix Theory?
@@devolveminhaconta1777 it's us evolving to the point of simulation. And we could be just brains in a jar being stimulated.
Its not a simulation. This is a farm.
I really like this song for the reason it puts our lives into perspective, like we’re on a stage and being watched by something else above.
I remember this song when it came out. I stayed listening to just this one. Just love the sound of it. The guitar. The drums. The voice and the story of the song in general. Never disappoint.
The video is powerful and makes a good point. The average person is a a puppet for those in power.
our society today lol
beefcake3131 right I was thinking the same! good message but seeing as nothing will change this kinda pointless.
mohamad imran
It may change, after Brexit and Hillary getting shut down, it seems as if the people may be waking up and telling those in power to shove it. One can only hope.
+beefcake3131 It also seems like "every bad thing we do will repeat itself/continue until we eventually destory ourselves in the end." But yours is better. :3
The French Revolution doesn't seem to fit though. Because it's the very opposite; Monarchie brought down by the people. So the meaning might be, hopefully, something different than the weak and generic "fight the government" nonsense. I am pretty sure, things will turn out worse, after Brexit and Trump's presidency. America needs a lot of social changes ... the poverty is horrible, and they chose to vote against Obamacare but for someone famous for exploiting his workers and the government. The reason why Trump isn't in the video is, hopefully, that they thought he was never going to make it to president.
The fact that this didn’t win a Grammy is an absolute atrocity.
That's cause grammys are reserved for the politically incorrect, and wanted deemed for "popular/successful/non working class" ass TV material. 1% views us as garbage and controls us, well ill give the middle finger right back..maybe a gun
The elites!
Lmao this video was a direct attack on the people who run the grammys.
The joke is on them because if World War III hits, they disappear
I know a lot of people that don't like anything rock, metal etc... But really love this song, some find it extremely eye opening.
The Devil, the master of puppets…..his hand is displayed at the very end. Brilliant song as always by A7X
this album is massively misunderstood and underrated. this song, creating god, paradigm, roman sky, exist. 10/10 masterpieces
I love the spanish guitar at the end.
a very cool way to close the song definitley, also the intro's badass
the acoustic outro of sidewinder is way better
Um Brasileiro entre os comentários que foda.
um portugues entre os comentarios que se foda
Ok..
This song only makes me love Richthofen's quote in Revelations." Accept your fate, begin a new" meaning we could end up killing ourselves because of war,corruption, revolts only to start back from where humanity began
Meant to say music video
That's a die rise quote.
+Joez Base he also says it in revelations
Richard Gombert still mainly Die Rise quote from O4 Richtophen.
Never thought i would see this here but yeah haha... Also yes, originally die rise quote haha
All the ppl hating on this, the so-called A7X fans are mad theyb.arent doing the same ole shit every band that doesnt make does, making the same old noise. These boys have continuously evolved as shown through their music. As artists, an as a musician, this part is whats to be appreciated. All the mad kids, go listen to the old screamo stuff, or some Lamb of God. Go live in nostalgia with old albums. Life goes on, music evolves, people grow. If you cant grasp this its ok... no one will miss you here in the now.
I love Syn solo in this song. His guitar is like, trying to say something sad about this mad world.
This album is so underrated, even by a lot of A7X fans. I love all their shit, but this album is a cut above the rest, or definitely the previous couple and I love those albums too. Man, it just hits different, especially with Brooks killing the drums nowadays. The man respects the Revs legacy while innovating in his own way and that shows skill.
The Stage and Roman Sky gives me chills every time.
A7X is just the best band ain't they 🤘🏼 love all there songs 🤘🏼
City of Evil will always be my favorite but in terms of being truly meaningful, The Stage has a lot to say and is *DEEP*.
Yeah I think Nightmare is my favorite overall, but The Stage is for sure the best in terms of concept and innovative music. Can’t wait for their next one
Amen I agree.
So glad that Rock/Alt Rock is still around.. this hip hop R&B is driving me nuts.
Ray Cocker It will forever be around. Metal is always going to be here. It'll change from time to time, new genre's will come around. But metalheads will always be here and continue to make metal music.
Ray Cocker ur comment give me stage 4 cancer
This is metal lol
it's metal
It's hard rock...
this song is went so hard in live
Think this the only song I know where a solo has so much emotion it makes me tear up. I can feel the peace being torn apart in the solo
"CAN'T YOU WAKE UP!!!!"... gives me chills everytime I hear it
AniMaL yea cause we're all asleep and not opened the truth
Omg same. I'm in love
Me too!!!!
This video is actually pretty sad. We have been pretty brutal to each other.
Well what do you expect, look out in nature and understand just how brutal a birthplace we have grown up in.
We talk about how scary nukes are, yet its noting compared to the forces out side earth, like metors.
When you look at it from nature's perspective we been going towards kindness at a incredible speed our bodys haven't even gotten time to evolved with our culture. So while I appreciated the message of stop doing war, it's always a bit weird we so hard on our self.
@@MouseGoat sensible
We are the same brutal cavemen, we just have better ways to destroy each other.
@@kevinkenealy1179 mankind was corrupt by the devil.
@@nizzlefrizzle8869 we corrupted ourselves
This song has been in my Top favorite songs of all time for a long time now. It's lyrically and musically one of the greatest songs ever written. But only now did I realize that this is video/song are supposed to be if actual nuclear fallout happens, this is media that they want to be discovered. This is the representation of how they want everyone to know how it at all went. And it just makes this entire song somehow even better, considering how flawlessly everyone performed (even Shadows with vocal surgeries) and how much emotion that you can't just replicate went into this recording.
2023 e essa música não poderia ser mais atual.
@tjl4835 ela fala sobre o que amigo ? Entendi que conta um pouco sobre os fatos que correram no decorrer do século pela mão do homem
I understand why everyone likes Gates, he's a phenomenal guitarist. But I don't think Brooks gets the recognition he deserves, he is insanely talented and his work on this album is just mind blowing. The speed and complexity is amazing. I think they should keep him in the future, definitely.
I thought Johny christ doesn't get the recognition he deserves
Trash Boat He doesn’t, it’s such a shame
Words 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤
ikr, especially since he writes all of the songs
Mostly because he's not Jimmy. People don't think he's the true og
This isn’t just a puppet show. It is a masterpiece of fact.
I don't take seriously furrys
@@Chandler36 that's sly cooper,would you call furry a dude with crash bandicoot as pfp aswell?
2023 revisiting this and it still is the best music video of all time. GOAT A7X song!
4.40 this solo is so emotional, give me goosebump every single i'm listening to this song..
I like it more every time
I know right! I had a hard time at first adjusting to matt shadows voice having changed more but i like it more and more each time i listen
me too
lemkelegion Yes. The voice change is slightly overwhelming at first making one unable to hear the beauty. But I'm three listens in and it just keeps getting better!!
As a history geek and lover of heavy metal, this song is magnificent. Brings tears to my eyes every time.
literally crying. Then you clapped

Same
Wish more people like this listened to this song. I always tear up listening to this song
Excellent audience participation here. Whoever made the puppet show is a genius!
I'm so glad I haven't listened to this album in full yet! October will always be my A7x Era and will listen soon!
2nd half of the song really took it home. And Brooks' drums were killing it.
Brooks sounds like a better drummer than Arin
Justyn Code-Muck he is
Kurt Guenther I enjoyed Erin on a few tracks. he was great as well
This means war was the only one I liked him in
Justyn Code-Muck arin wasnt a good drummer he sucked in hail to the king album Brooks is very good playing, lets see what he does in the next songs
Goddammit, these solos gave me goose bumps.
Hail boss Gates, nothing else to say.
Hail to the King...
William A yeah it's awesome too!
I will make a cover of that solo in the future on my yt channel :)
Same here. Especially the solo, but the whole song really hits me on an emotional level
+Alpayylmao v Yeah. It's incredible that a band called "Avenged Sevenfold" is making a song about stuff like environmental issues and world peace. That's why I absolutely love them. They break all the stereotypes.
With musics like this we understand the definition of Art, in it's most beautiful form.
This is absolutely majestic.
One of the best songs ever
I was just 13 when this song was released. As a drummer, I was stunned by the unreal performance of the whole band but more importantly, this song, lyrics, solos and this film is so powerful that after 7 years, still it affects me profoundly. One of the best works of art out there. Everyone should listen and watch this at least once in their lives. Respect ❤
