Both of you blew this out of the park! I took my son & his band mate to see AX7 in Colorado Springs. My son grew up on The "Rev". It was the Spring of 2009. The "Rev" was still alive then. We happened to stay at the same Hotel as they did the day/night before the concert. My son was only in the 8th grade. M Shadows & another band member ate dinner late at the restaurant in the hotel & we were the only people in there. I the almost 46 year old HS teacher sheepishly walked over to him and said there are two young boys over at the table that Love your music & if You don't mind, when you are done eating, could they come over & say Hello. M Shadows was so nice & said "sure". I let the boys go over after he ate dinner. Then I went into the connected bar to have a nightcap. The rest of the band was all in there. All except 1 were really partying. It was the "Rev". He was unusually sober & I just drank my drink & did not want to bother them. But the "Rev" ordered a bottle of wine - I wrote a quick note saying how grateful I was for them being such talented musicians & proving to the kids that you can sing Metal & still be wonderful artist! I bought his bottle of wine from the bartender & sent the note expecting nothing for it. I sent it over with my note. I saw him read the note & fold it back up & place it in his wallet. He must have ask the bartender who sent the note - He got up to leave & came & sat down by me to my surprise. He thanked me for the wine & mostly for the note. He really was a jewel & gentleman! My son started playing the drums at 5 guitar - 7 & sings & writes & was waiting with his other band mate in the 8th grade right outside & had his drumsticks with him. I finished my drink about the same time as Jimmy left & my son got him to sign those drumsticks. He is 28 & still has them today. Bought him the SYN Gates black & white guitar later, too. I accidentally found you when I played "So Far Away" & it took me to a short video & eventually there you were. You have a killer voice & both of you play the heck out of the guitar. Keep it up! I grew up with a piano teacher mother & know my stuff about music. My son now lives In Colorado Springs & works at "The Black Sheep" the hottest Metal club around there. He is in 4 bands now, so maybe if ya'll get down here contact me & he & his girlfriend - she runs the sound & lights & etc. there and can get you a gig there. Your voice is amazing!

Absolutely crushed it man!! Was simply grinning from ear to ear throughout the whole video haha!

Rock on, brother! Wish us smaller musicians got more love.

One of the best Avenged Sevenfold covers I've seen

Closest I’ve ever heard anyone ever come to m shadows. Hats off to you 👍🏼

The section at 5:24 gave me goosebumps, great job as always!

Ive seen about 3 or 4 covers of A7X by you and honestly, i dont know if M.Shadows was your inspiration but you sound exactly like him, your voice seem to have a little bit more high end but apart from that you are spot on, from tone all the way to words articulation its amazing.

Unreal how good

What the hell is this amazing cover doing at only 8000 views?? We gotta pump those numbers up

Jesus, the solo was flawless..🙆🙆🙆

Unbelievable 🤍🤍🤘🤘🤘

It's like 2007 self-titled M. Shadows singing The Stage, absolutely perfect bro! Keep up the amazing job!

Your voice is unbelievable! Awesome job!! It’s incredibly hard to sing M Shadows high notes. Cheers from Brazil!

Gave me goosebumps. Amazing performance 🫶

Top top top 💪💪💪💪🙌

Просто потрясающее исполнение, я закрываю глаза и мне кажется что я слушаю оригинал!❤👍 Привет из мирной России.😁

Mailed it! Love your videos. Keep the A7X Videos coming. You sound more like MShadows than he does now.

Incredible stuff! Love how your tone sounds with this song, very unique compared to the original!

Fvcking cool !!! 👊👍

Bro, your voice is incredible, I've been following your work for a while now through Martin Rooning, (I'm a guitarist and a fan of this guy). You two are awesome. I'm recording a full cover of Critical Acclaim. Would there be any possibility of putting your vocals on this song? How much do you charge for your incredible work? Hugs from Brazil!

the only lacking on this video is holding an invisible watermelon

very solid!!! great job!!! comparable to the original...hope m.shadow & avenged sevenfold team watch your video!!!😎

This was as good as a cover can be! But i dont know how you got copyrighted on this cover and it seems that you did not use any of the original song tracks, instruments or back vocals.. Or am i wrong?

I checked against the OG... You want me to tell these folks or are you gonna do it?

Can you Please stop with AutoTune? It makes me feel like shit 😫

Duuuude you both knocked it out of the park. Excellent job. I am trying to become a better singer and I really want to learn to sing with rasp like you do, how did you go about learning that? What's the technique?
