This song was my late wife's favorite song by Floyd. She loved A7F and introduced me to them. This was published after she died and it hit me so hard when I just now heard this randomly on youtube. She used to play So Far Away all the time, ironically it is now a song I play to mourn her. Thank Avenged Seven Fold for this cover, it means more to me than you can imagine.
Right on. I'm glad these motherfuckers are finally getting theirs. I think the lawsuit comes out in their favor. It's been a long, far from rock steady, journey without Rev, but I think we finally found a keeper. Things are looking up. I forsee Gates doing a solo album at some point, just because he's that fucking good. Enjoy them while they're here, ladies and gentlemen.
@@EricFloyd08 What,?!? Where did he call his Dad an "it"??... I literally read his comment 6x's cuz I thought I was missing something...I'm not and I'm shocked that someone else also believes this
Showed my father this song 6 Months before he passed. He was a die hard Pink Floyd fan and thought that he wouldn’t like this version. To my surprise, he loved it. Miss ya pops. Fly high old man
Me and my Dad never talked around much. He was more into teaching me the values and purpose on how to live my life and be a pillar to the family. Back then I didn't know that he had brain tumour. It was only during the last stages of his life after the chemo that I discovered and he didn't want me to be sad either by his situation. This song is a connection of two lives without words but by a stronger bond of understanding. Its been 9 years now ever since he passed away. And this song is something that reminds me of the good old days that I spent with my dad. He was my Hero after all. RIP Dad. You were a good man. I hope I grow up to be the man you wanted me to be
I can relate... My dad was 3b lung cancer.. We kinda thought or knew he was sick or something.. He was losing weight, going home early from work, and then had a respitory infection that wouldnt go away.. He was addicted to pain pills at the time.. Anyway, I think he knew he was sick but didnt want to hear it from drs.. Well he did eventually.. And no longer than a week of knowing, he was taking his last breaths of life surrounded by family, and some good fire house buddies of his.... Never gets easier.. The only thing thats gets easier is remembering they aren't here... I still reach for my phone to tell him something funny.. but opps
Life is as it is.... We all move on with the memories of our loved ones being cherished. We can never be that strong to erase a loved one from our life...... And that's what makes us mortal at the end of the day.
Welcome to The Saddest UA-cam Comment Section. Read a few of the comments and get your heart broken by all the stories of all the people and their loved ones. It's beautifully sad. Never will you see so much love and so much pain on this website, at the same place. Much love to all the awesome people here, your stories around this song give me chills.
Kalau nanti avenged jadi tampil d indonesia/hammersonic video ini jadi pelajaran buat yg nonton langsung, jangan cuma pegang hp tapi nikmatin konser, siapa tau suatu saat nanti kalian bisa tampil di video MVnya avenged, avenged suka bikin MV dari konser2 mereka. Tahun 2015 pas manggung d indo vokalis avenged sempat nyindir penonton karena semuanya pada ngerekam bukannya menikmati konser itu sendiri.
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from hell Blue skies from pain Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground And how we found The same old fears Wish you were here How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground And how we found The same old fears Wish you were here

Força parceiro,ele está descansando,para um dia acordar em um lugar melhor do q esse mundo q vivemos e vc estará junto dele e dessa vez não vai ter mais despedidas.
When the crowd helped the man in the wheelchair crowd surf, that hit my heart hard. I've always loved these guys ever since I heard them the very first time but to see fans help this man crowd surf hit me hard because my father is in a wheelchair too and I never see that kind of selfless thoughts and actions toward him, a7x just breeds passionate fans. Love you guys foREVer.
I listened to an interview a few hours ago where Zacky said they have another song "coming out very, very soon" and BOOM - here it is! I love all these cover songs they've released so far!!
What’s funny is I came here to look for your comment and I found it really quickly. I’m looking for all the old guys and adding them on discord. Add me. I’m DragonStar42#7708. I’m Bradshaw/mrblack by the way.
My grandma was a die hard floyd fan,and in my teen years I was all about a7x, and we shared our love of music together. This was always our song. It was very centimental to me. She passed away this year due to corona. Now the feeling this song gives me. Makes me realize how she felt when she heard it. I love you grandma. I wish you were here. Stay strong everyone. Let these words lift your soul and the music to reach your heart. We're all here on this earth together until we're gone. Everything's gonna be alright.
This band is just brilliant. You really prove you're talented when you abandon your comfort zone and try this kind of stuff they've been posting during the past months
@@mastermanio2 why did it feel necessary to tell the guy such a thing? I'm genuinely curious and concerned for why you needed to respond the way that you did.
Otis AnusDrip and you're an immature cancer to society, get a life bitch. people end their own lives because of people like you. hiding behind your monitor to act tough, get through middle school before you talk shit lol
Starry, I can't fathom losing a parent. I'm really sorry. Reading your comment, with the song in the background, hit me with the feels right in the heart. I hope you know every valley, every trial in life, is there not to hurt you, but to build you and into a stronger you. A stronger soul. God bless and peace be with you!
This song hits all the right points. At first they were afraid that you would turn it into another song, in an unflattering way. Your performance respects the original, and hits even harder in the sad places. I remembered my friend who I lost in the war, who I wish was here with us, and would have heard this performance.. I can already imagine the smile that would have appeared on his face.. But he will always remain 22 years old. Miss you my friend, fly as high and as far as you can
I feel you man. My dad passed away a few months ago, and we played the PF original at the funeral. It was our favorite Pink Floyd song. For me this song holds so much, and this cover is amazing!
This is my dad's song he passed away when I was 26 I'm now 31 and just heard this the other day. A7x is one of my favorite bands. This means so much. Thank you! 💚💚 Wish you were here pops! Rip
A rare cover which amplifies the original without disrespecting it. The vocals are amazing and so is the guitar work. Thanks for doing the solo with an actual guitar
Got married to a woman who is not the right one even when dad told me not to get married. Now from heaven dad is telling me boy I told you. Now I'm sad and lonely. Oh daddy I miss you so much.
I feel like something in my heart was mended by this cover. My dad would have really loved it, I wish he was here to listen to it. RIP dad.... How I wish you were here
My Dad passed this August and he got me into fantastic music like this, he was a huge fan of Pink Floyd and I wish he was around so I could show him A7x covering this. Thoughts are with you too, keep strong and rock on girl x
13 years ago today my bestest friend in the whole world passed away...he loved avenged sevenfold and pink floyd this happens to be my fave song by pink floyd so to hear a7x singing it makes me wish kenny was really here with me....I love you kenny!!!!
Had this song tattooed on me for my grandma. Never would’ve imagined it being covered by my favorite band. This song is fucking amazing, you guys killed this.
Thank you A7X, this song means so much as it's always been my favorite. We lost our daughter,who LOVED you guys, July 2017, so when this came out shortly after, we felt it was a blessing. Rest in peace Jimmy! Whose parents are wicked awesome btw.Rest in peace Rachel Rose!
Great job, Avenged! This shows how much musical diversity you have, that you don't just make rock and heavy metal songs and try to cover as many different styles and instruments in your songs and, honestly, that's what makes me a fan and accompany you more and more! Keep it up !!
Did prom dance dinner when they were in high school my son and him like the best of friends along with getting ready for it at our house miss the twins ballerina sister my heart is my stomach never stop calling me mom from day one I could have so much more to say but right now actually I don't have anything else to say I just miss him so much and I know my son my ex-daughter-in-law miss him my hell of a lot and feel so bad for them because they were so close to him Lord let him rest easy God bless you Jimmy we all miss you so much and Micah as well give him a hug for us
Using somebody else's phone so what I just put was on my best friend's phone my name is D'AnnI wish I could just jump through this phone and jump to heaven and hug him my soul isn't settled in the slightest since him and Micah both are gone Micah drawing the death bat they were my boys
a7x was the future of metal durning the 2000s now, they are the present, one of the very few good metal/rock bands that keep the genre alive in a good way, they are the present of metal and future legends, i know that the hardcore metalheads are gonna argue on this with their guturals and shit...sorry but that is the thing that keeps the genre under the ground, bands like a7x are what is needed not fast shit on guitar with all the gain and guturals everywhere
Our band played this song on 31st dec in dedication to all The families that have lost their loved ones in our town that year (2017). It was a great experience.
This song was my senior class song back in 2008. My best friend had just passed when we chose this song. My husband just passed lasts week... it took me 10 years to not be so upset I couldn't say my best friends name without tears. I hope youre taking care of Phil up there, Casey. I love you both forever.
dennis t man they even said hall to the king was a tribute album to all of their favorite bands that inspired them. So they did a lot of riffs that sounder like their idols. Look into stuff before you start making assumptions man
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell Blue skies from pain? Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a leading role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here
My daughter Alexis Michelle Ruiz and my son Kaden Daniel Ruiz of Farmington New Mexico I hope someone reads this soon and reached out to you both. God knows my downfalls and he knows I truly loved you both dearly. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Keep this song close and never forget the good times and long live avenged sevenfold for your daddy. A7X foREVer
to my best friend. i can only play this song with you, i still can remember the times we perfected it and we sang it somewhere at the coffee shop. shame that i lost you. wish you were here with me, bud.
My best friend killed himself on Tuesday and it's Saturday after his service and I've listened to this song everyday and I'll be here everyday till I die
Say that again real slow, since Avenged SevenCrap has released like 3 covers in a row. There is not enough words to describe how much all their covers suck.
Obviously you could never beat David Gilmour's own version of the song, but I'd argue that covers are never made to try and outperform an original version. Personally I think it's great that A7X are releasing new content between their albums instead of going silent for 2-3 years. Plus, the changes in genre just show how versatile they are as a band.
Why is it too hard to understand that the main reason of all these covers is to invite the new generations to listen the old classics that inspired this band.
Tomas Garces Chaparro Simple. The original can be heard at least once a day on any classic rock station and it’s far superior to this. This cover isn’t about “inviting new generations” to the music of Pink Floyd; it’s called a “cash grab”.
+Jason Tanner xD, you can hate as much as you want, i'm telling you what the band said, and what any real fan knows about this band is that they never forget their roots, they are always giving like "shout out" to other bands. This is a beautiful piece of art, a really well done cover with many cool images of their last tour with Metallica, and I had to pay nothing to watch it over and over again, for me it's something to be thankful of.
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from hell Blue skies from pain Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?

My father loved this song. So to hear it done so perfectly by my favorite band brings tears to my eyes and feels to my heart.... thank you A7X I love you guys.
Ofcourse not on Pink Floyd's level but they kept their identity and it became one of the most beautiful covers i've ever heard. One of the greatest metal bands ever, hats off.
Splod ™ if you mean close as in resemblance to the original, then you should remember it's a cover. they're supposed to make it their own ;) on the other hand, if you mean close as in quality, then i respect your opinion and i won't say much about it, considering i'm not that big on pink floyd xD but in the end, it's a good song
Wishmaster wtf are you talking about Pink floyd wrote this, of course they played it best.. no contest but I appreciate A7X for being themselves without trying to immitate Pink floyd style
rob140892 What? Thats exactly what I said xD Btw, for being the song owner doesn't mean he/they play the song better, for example, a shitty singer can write a shitty song and other musician can turn it into a beautiful song. But in that case there's no chance anyone could do better than Pink Floyd on their songs.
The meaning of this version to me....my daughter's father was a US Marine.....long story short, flashbacks, suicide, heartbreak. But he had told me awhile before this had happened, that he wanted Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here played at his funeral. And I played it. He had told me a story of him and some of the other soldiers sitting around a campfire in Okinawa and one played this on his guitar and they all sang it. Well, it got to the point that it was so hard for me to ever listen to Pink Floyd's version again. So when Avenged Sevenfold came out with it......I cried. But I was so happy. I made this version, the happy one. This one is in my heart with all the good memories. Thanks guys for the remake. It was very needed and it is beautiful!
I dedicate this song to my dad and my sister who have passed on. I miss you both so goddamn much everyday!! I love you both very much and miss you every minute that you're not here with me. R.I.P.
One of the greatest bands of my time covering one of the greatest bands of my parents time... everything perfect is handed down through the generations. Thank you for this.
Usually dubious of these kinds of covers as more often than not they're awful. But THIS is a real cover! They kept to the spirit of the original but left their signature on it. Exactly how a cover should be done.
I love every single song that you all make. I hope to see you guys some day. I refuse to see anyone else before you. I love you so much. Thank you for helping me though all the rough and painful times. Everything feels easier by listening to you. I am thankful for this band.
This is so weird for me because I get off my electric monitoring on this day 2019 not a bad person just slipped up and now it's time to move on sorry for your loss
This song was my late wife's favorite song by Floyd. She loved A7F and introduced me to them. This was published after she died and it hit me so hard when I just now heard this randomly on youtube. She used to play So Far Away all the time, ironically it is now a song I play to mourn her. Thank Avenged Seven Fold for this cover, it means more to me than you can imagine.
Michael Piersant Sorry to hear that :(
RIP
RIP. She sounds like a very special person.
God speed brother

The view of M. Shadows lifting his son after the concert was touching AF.. I love these guys..
Does he have 2 kids now?
Rob Bader yep - River and Cash Sanders
Right on. I'm glad these motherfuckers are finally getting theirs. I think the lawsuit comes out in their favor. It's been a long, far from rock steady, journey without Rev, but I think we finally found a keeper. Things are looking up. I forsee Gates doing a solo album at some point, just because he's that fucking good. Enjoy them while they're here, ladies and gentlemen.
Good tribute a great acid rock band
@@sirbader1 hes had 2 kids for a while now.
My favorite metal band covering my favorite rock band is something I didnt know I needed til I heard it.
Ain’t it rad!

Nah
Dan, apa yang terjadi kemarin di bulan Mei?
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
And how we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
And how we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

The quality of the audio is perfect
When the crowd helped the man in the wheelchair crowd surf, that hit my heart hard. I've always loved these guys ever since I heard them the very first time but to see fans help this man crowd surf hit me hard because my father is in a wheelchair too and I never see that kind of selfless thoughts and actions toward him, a7x just breeds passionate fans. Love you guys foREVer.
We all wish you were here Jimmy!
FoREVer!

Nova73 im just saying facts buddy, no need for such aggression.
I listened to an interview a few hours ago where Zacky said they have another song "coming out very, very soon" and BOOM - here it is! I love all these cover songs they've released so far!!
That 12-String tone just perfection

I think my life is complete now. One of my alltime favourite Metal Bands covering one of my alltime favourite Rock Bands.
What about your best grunge band ?
Best punk ?
In my opinion, this is the best Wish You Were Here cover ever!
Facts. Mainly because of gates an vengeance the guitar was perfect as always
It isn't..... Velvet Revolver does a waaaaaaaay better version
Personally for me, late Scott Weiland and Slash did the best, i mean the best. #ripscott
Absolutely the best cover of this song
because its longer than the original))
This song hits you in all the right places.
Sure does
We wish you were here Jimmy❤️
I always think so much of the Rev this time of year. Just a few days from the horrible anniversary of his passing.😭
Absolutely! :( RIP Jimmy!
This band is just brilliant. You really prove you're talented when you abandon your comfort zone and try this kind of stuff they've been posting during the past months

I think this cover is better than the original
@@marioperezgarcia7258 , nope ... Original has more sense
@@tluangasailo3663 in my opinion
not even close to better than the original, nice cover though
This song hits all the right points.
At first they were afraid that you would turn it into another song, in an unflattering way.
Your performance respects the original, and hits even harder in the sad places.
I remembered my friend who I lost in the war, who I wish was here with us, and would have heard this performance.. I can already imagine the smile that would have appeared on his face..
But he will always remain 22 years old.
Miss you my friend, fly as high and as far as you can

My Dad passed this August and he got me into fantastic music like this, he was a huge fan of Pink Floyd and I wish he was around so I could show him A7x covering this.
Thoughts are with you too, keep strong and rock on girl x
13 years ago today my bestest friend in the whole world passed away...he loved avenged sevenfold and pink floyd this happens to be my fave song by pink floyd so to hear a7x singing it makes me wish kenny was really here with me....I love you kenny!!!!
Doctor : You have 5 minutes to live
Me : I want to listen to wish you were here
Doctor : But it's 6 minutes
God : It's ok
Always worth it
Yes
@@ashleypierce9543 yes
😊😉
Nailed it
Definitely did one of the most classic songs in Rock history much justice. Well done gentlemen!
Had this song tattooed on me for my grandma. Never would’ve imagined it being covered by my favorite band. This song is fucking amazing, you guys killed this.
pp
Thank you A7X, this song means so much as it's always been my favorite. We lost our daughter,who LOVED you guys, July 2017, so when this came out shortly after, we felt it was a blessing. Rest in peace Jimmy! Whose parents are wicked awesome btw.Rest in peace Rachel Rose!
It's a hard thing to lose someone that was the best person we've ever known,we also like the other version as well 💯 respect
Never thought a7x would cover a Pink Floyd song
Solaire loves us My 2 favorite bands combining. I never thought I would see this happen.
I was so shoooook
I think if you listen to a lot of the slower paced songs of a7x you can hear so much pink floyd influence so I didn't find it too surprising 😊
roman sky is very pink floyd like
Nah, it's Pinkly Smooth. ;)
Pinked Sevenfloyd
Zanny Christto Br? Kkkkkk
Geise Vasconcelos Mais br que paçoca
Nice
I’d listen to that.
Zanny Christto tinha que ser Br essa desgraça kkkkkkk
I am in love with this cover. A7X did a stellar job. I could listen to this song on replay for hours.
Great job, Avenged! This shows how much musical diversity you have, that you don't just make rock and heavy metal songs and try to cover as many different styles and instruments in your songs and, honestly, that's what makes me a fan and accompany you more and more! Keep it up !!
Hope you are resting easy Rev. The metal community misses you brother.
everfaraway1 no you dont 🌚
everfaraway1 not me, everytime I look at mine I hear his amazing voice, specifically him singing live in LBC
Did prom dance dinner when they were in high school my son and him like the best of friends along with getting ready for it at our house miss the twins ballerina sister my heart is my stomach never stop calling me mom from day one I could have so much more to say but right now actually I don't have anything else to say I just miss him so much and I know my son my ex-daughter-in-law miss him my hell of a lot and feel so bad for them because they were so close to him Lord let him rest easy God bless you Jimmy we all miss you so much and Micah as well give him a hug for us
Using somebody else's phone so what I just put was on my best friend's phone my name is D'AnnI wish I could just jump through this phone and jump to heaven and hug him my soul isn't settled in the slightest since him and Micah both are gone Micah drawing the death bat they were my boys
Valerie* lol Where are u
This is the perfection that I needed in my life.
More classic hits like these please!
Huge Pink Floyd fan here!! and i cannot believe how PERFECTLY done this cover is!!! wow!!!
Love the guy crowd surfing and then his wheelchair following behind him ❤
THIS is why Avenged IS the future of metal. The respect and acknowledge the roots of great rock n roll.
CHRIS RYAN the future of metal is Trivium...With songs like "The Wretchedness Inside" and "Thrown Into The Fire" a7x doesn't stand a chance..
Lee Taylor Why not both? Just because one band is good doesn't mean all the other bands are non-existent.
Avenged Sevenfold is both the present and future of metal! F off!
Trivium is amateurish
a7x was the future of metal durning the 2000s now, they are the present, one of the very few good metal/rock bands that keep the genre alive in a good way, they are the present of metal and future legends, i know that the hardcore metalheads are gonna argue on this with their guturals and shit...sorry but that is the thing that keeps the genre under the ground, bands like a7x are what is needed not fast shit on guitar with all the gain and guturals everywhere
Best thing to randomly check UA-cam to see
Our band played this song on 31st dec in dedication to all The families that have lost their loved ones in our town that year (2017). It was a great experience.
This song was my senior class song back in 2008. My best friend had just passed when we chose this song. My husband just passed lasts week... it took me 10 years to not be so upset I couldn't say my best friends name without tears.
I hope youre taking care of Phil up there, Casey. I love you both forever.
This cover is for you Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. You're still alive in my ears and heart.
❤
They can cover anything dude. Fucking perfect musicians!!
Leon S. Kennedy ever since Hail to the King, they've been great at copying other bands.
dennis t Its not copying lmfao. You're just hating relax bro.
dennis t man they even said hall to the king was a tribute album to all of their favorite bands that inspired them. So they did a lot of riffs that sounder like their idols. Look into stuff before you start making assumptions man
dennis t LOL You think being a hater is cool while it is actually pretty lame.
dennis t oh yeah smart guy tell me which bands they copied with The Stage
The Stage... as much as i love them, i never though they would've released such a perfect album.
Mark Wakefield I know right. The album on it’s own was just incredible! But you throw in these covers and wow! MINDBLOWING!
It's no city of evil but it's number 2 in my opinion. The stage just came out of nowhere!
I thoguht The Stage was one of their weakest albums personally...
Dan Griffin Why?
I don't know. I just... Have no desire to listen to it more. But Hail to the King, self titled etc I adore
Something just doesn't click for me.
Que música, senhores... Que música.
Recently lost my mother, this is a song that truly hits deep ❤
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a leading role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
lifemuststrong good
lifemuststrong always wondered the full lyrics of this song never felt like looking it up thanks man
Legendary writing from Waters.
For all the young cats
Who write this song?
My daughter Alexis Michelle Ruiz and my son Kaden Daniel Ruiz of Farmington New Mexico I hope someone reads this soon and reached out to you both. God knows my downfalls and he knows I truly loved you both dearly. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Keep this song close and never forget the good times and long live avenged sevenfold for your daddy. A7X foREVer
"we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year..." I wish you were here Nico.
Running over the same old ground.. What have we found, the same old fears.. Wish you were here!! :'/
2 lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, kinda makes u think the earth is flat with a dome covering the waters above.
A7x gets me through the darkest of days. Thanks guys.
That's how you carry the Metal torch
to my best friend.
i can only play this song with you,
i still can remember the times we perfected it and we sang it somewhere at the coffee shop.
shame that i lost you.
wish you were here with me, bud.
I'm actually crying. Oh my gosh
seriously can they stop spoiling us omg
same lmao
Wym I need more
Amazing choice of cover, beautifully portrayed. The Rev would be incredibly proud of his band mates, that's for sure.
My best friend killed himself on Tuesday and it's Saturday after his service and I've listened to this song everyday and I'll be here everyday till I die
Some of the angles they shot of Brian in the studio made me notice how much more he looks like his father.
yea,at 0:43
A7X x Pink Floyd starring James Hetfield 4:09 & Braun Strowman 4:48
Not bad, not bad at all
Bray Wyatt was there as well
Oliver Olivar Fuck fake ass James(I steal peoples songs) Hetfield and his shit band Sellouttica!!!
Oliver Olivar starring 88's Hetlfield Perfect twin too at 4:51😝
Say that again real slow, since Avenged SevenCrap has released like 3 covers in a row. There is not enough words to describe how much all their covers suck.
For my grandma and granpa,missing you big time ..wish you're here with us now..
Great cover of a legendary pink flyod song well done
Obviously you could never beat David Gilmour's own version of the song, but I'd argue that covers are never made to try and outperform an original version. Personally I think it's great that A7X are releasing new content between their albums instead of going silent for 2-3 years. Plus, the changes in genre just show how versatile they are as a band.
Why is it too hard to understand that the main reason of all these covers is to invite the new generations to listen the old classics that inspired this band.
Floyd
Tomas Garces Chaparro Simple. The original can be heard at least once a day on any classic rock station and it’s far superior to this. This cover isn’t about “inviting new generations” to the music of Pink Floyd; it’s called a “cash grab”.
+Jason Tanner
xD, you can hate as much as you want, i'm telling you what the band said, and what any real fan knows about this band is that they never forget their roots, they are always giving like "shout out" to other bands.
This is a beautiful piece of art, a really well done cover with many cool images of their last tour with Metallica, and I had to pay nothing to watch it over and over again, for me it's something to be thankful of.
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
And how we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Thank you
What have we found?*
Niiiiice
Aurelio Rojas thanks so much
Aurelio Rojas You very know about this song, hell yeah \m/ 😎
OH MY GOD, THIS IS AMAZING!
SYD awesome profile pic man, best album of all time
DustyLoc Yeah, thanks man. Animals is a very wonderful album.
This is the only song A7X that got me choked up. Amazing performance!
Dam I love that A7x did a Pink Floyd cover! Love Pink Floyd and A7x for life!
My father loved this song. So to hear it done so perfectly by my favorite band brings tears to my eyes and feels to my heart.... thank you A7X I love you guys.
Ofcourse not on Pink Floyd's level but they kept their identity and it became one of the most beautiful covers i've ever heard. One of the greatest metal bands ever, hats off.
Pedro Ferreira you sir, to admit something like that have earned every bit of respect I could give to one person
Splod ™ if you mean close as in resemblance to the original, then you should remember it's a cover. they're supposed to make it their own ;) on the other hand, if you mean close as in quality, then i respect your opinion and i won't say much about it, considering i'm not that big on pink floyd xD but in the end, it's a good song
Good cover, but not a touch on the original
Wishmaster
wtf are you talking about
Pink floyd wrote this, of course they played it best.. no contest
but I appreciate A7X for being themselves without trying to immitate Pink floyd style
rob140892
What? Thats exactly what I said xD
Btw, for being the song owner doesn't mean he/they play the song better, for example, a shitty singer can write a shitty song and other musician can turn it into a beautiful song. But in that case there's no chance anyone could do better than Pink Floyd on their songs.
Rest In Love My Bro Athen Leba 🥀

The meaning of this version to me....my daughter's father was a US Marine.....long story short, flashbacks, suicide, heartbreak. But he had told me awhile before this had happened, that he wanted Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here played at his funeral. And I played it. He had told me a story of him and some of the other soldiers sitting around a campfire in Okinawa and one played this on his guitar and they all sang it. Well, it got to the point that it was so hard for me to ever listen to Pink Floyd's version again. So when Avenged Sevenfold came out with it......I cried. But I was so happy. I made this version, the happy one. This one is in my heart with all the good memories. Thanks guys for the remake. It was very needed and it is beautiful!
sending a lot of love to you and your daughter... stay strong
4:06 James Hettfield
Dante55 Channel Is it really? He looks different
Yeah
Lol of course he looks different,he's closing in on 60
Dante55 Channel Hetfield is my idol
Scott McIntosh And he doesn't have long hair anymore
They totally nailed it. I love Pink Floyd and avenged. Seeing them do a Pink Floyd song is just insane. Well done
Nate_dawg 115 they ruined it.
TheRabidPosum I wasn't much of a fan of the original, but that is just as much an opinion as your statement.
Brandon Viera it's my opinion that a7x sucks ass and is the worst band ever. They have no songwriting ability whatsoever and they ruin classics.
TheRabidPosum well thats the amazing thing about opinions, they hold no credibility.
Brandon Viera if it is an educated opinion like mine it holds a lot of credibility.
I dedicate this song to my dad and my sister who have passed on. I miss you both so goddamn much everyday!! I love you both very much and miss you every minute that you're not here with me. R.I.P.
1:55 Matt playing his Nintendo Switch lol
Heavy Metal King he is a gamer
probably breath of the wild
i know
yeah probably
One of the greatest bands of my time covering one of the greatest bands of my parents time... everything perfect is handed down through the generations. Thank you for this.
Usually dubious of these kinds of covers as more often than not they're awful. But THIS is a real cover! They kept to the spirit of the original but left their signature on it. Exactly how a cover should be done.
I hope you like this #stayathome cover ua-cam.com/video/w0YldyZfzvc/v-deo.html
My mom loved this song.
I love you so much. Wherever you are.
RIP 14/02/1974 - 17/10/2024
Be strong my brother
@ thank you so much!
To A7X-You just did Pink Floyd proud! Excellent!!!!
I love every single song that you all make. I hope to see you guys some day. I refuse to see anyone else before you. I love you so much. Thank you for helping me though all the rough and painful times. Everything feels easier by listening to you. I am thankful for this band.
3:59 BRAUUUNNNNN!!!!
And Bray?
4:48 is better.
Shoulda got in the mosh pit !
6:11 it's better
Great version. This is my son Seth's favorite band.
How's even posible that some people didn't like this?
dude, this was the most beauty thing i would see today for sure
Robert Hardy idiot kid
Robert Hardy you're clearly a grunge fan.. gtfo. Learn what real music is..^^^
