One of my favorite songs is The Stage, by Avenged Sevenfold, and I honestly think the THX sound has a large port of it. First 30 seconds are basically just a solid THX sound... huge nostalgia hit hight out the gate. The rest of the song is fucking epic on its own, but that first bite is just... chef's kiss

The imagery in that music video is really thought provoking. Very fucking cool song. Thank you for sharing that link.

It didn't become one of my favorites until after I saw the vid. I'd heard it prior to that, and took the stage thing literally - like, okay, you're performing on a stage... that's what you do...? Then I watched the video and "Oh. Oooooooh. Oh shit!" It's a metaphor, and they pull ZERO punches. Extremely critical of humanity, but without being whiny or doomy (well... in a 'Pumped Up Kicks' kinda way: it doesn't feel doomy but the actual message... yeah...). And they pulled it off with fucking marionette puppets somehow without making it feel silly. HOW?!

So damn good!
