Avenged Sevenfold have released a cover of The Rolling Stones‘ “As Tears Go By.” This track is part of the band's ongoing plan to evolve their latest album "The Stage."

M. Shadows commented:

“We really got into some of the deeper Rolling Stones tracks during the writing process for ‘Hail To The King‘.This song always stood out because of the melody and fragile state of Mick Jagger’s vocal and the interesting string section in the bridge. We took a more uptempo rock & roll approach and added the sitar as a little nod to the experimentation of the 60s.”
