Something about him saying he "Believes" his guitar has 24 frets is funny to me.

[@Noahshollow]

+Michael Riley the fact that you had to quote this is really gay

[@codyjewell1460]

When you're that good at playing guitar, you don't need to count the frets. These guys know exactly what note their playing without ever thinking about 12th fret, or 20th fret etc.

[@jonathansuarez962]

BlackDogeSam 69 I actually agree with what he said. I believe he meant at the level of skill they are at they have the muscle memory not to think about where the frets are when they're playing.

[@JZJ7777]

Syn’s guitar is as badass as his playing style. I love the plain color with pinstripes and his band name on the head of the guitar. So awesome.

[@Raptus_Gaming]

The band name isn't anywhere on the guitar though? lol

[@RKarnage]

I dont like a7x that much but, you gotta admit, Gates has been a pretty inspirational guitarist for the past 10-13 years, people think he plays wannabe metal but thats wrong, he puts his own twists and tweaks when playing and they sound kickass! By his way of playing, you can tell that he has been inspirated by many jazz artists, and he even said so himself! Young people everywhere are inspired to play guitar because of this guy! And i like that he loves jazz alot and not just metal, he may be a metal artist, but this guy, he is a true guitarrist

[@Kennethomega69]

This band gets too much unnecessary hate, I don't see what's bad about them lol

[@MultiLioNik]

They are great

[@jbal6956]

People seem to dislike them because they have lots of young fans who don't like other metal bands

[@Star_Sn1per]

They don't evolve heavy metal in any way.. It's just the same old riff's and drum pattern's we've been hearing for ages.. That's why ppl don't like them.. Avenge Sevenfold are generic as fuck.

[@CwGuitar01]

im sorry but i cant agree with that. The Drums for Avenged (specifically with the days of the rev) are great, look at Bat country's drums and tell me the fills aren't awesome and the guitar riffs and solos are sick, the riffs for things like nightmare are a bit boring which is fair enough but for songs like afterlife and shepherd of fire the riffs are anything but generic. The solo for both those songs are amazing too but not just because syn is shredding but because the solo's work with the rhythm guitar and sound melodic. Everyone has an opinion and may not like avenged, but you can't say that EVERYTHING is generic because thats just not true.

[@spazzofreak]

You are so incorrect. Avenged Sevenfold are the only modern metal band that I know of that do a completely different sub-genre of metal for each album. As a result Each album sound so unique.

[@jacobcasler8684]

+Roman Torchwick The rev was the drummer. He died at age 29. his real name is James Owen Sullivan. His favorite drummer was Mike Portney. He had a side project with synyster gates called Pinkly Smooth. I have Nightmare, City of Evil, and A Little Piece Of Heaven, one song on Nightmare is Buried Alive, One on City of Evil is Bat Country, One on A Little Piece Of Heaven is Afterlife, Rev came up to the band to create the song Almost Easy, which was the rev's idea, He was a wise person, and how I know he was wise is that one time I was watching some A7X interviews and they were at a bar when rev said something like "Every two years a person changes, no matter who you are.", and HE'S RIGHT, he came up with the song Fiction on the Nightmare album, which the song was originally called "Death", AND he was the first person to create A7X with M. Shadows, Synyster Gates, and another people. I know alot about the rev.

[@caydenwood3944]

i am soooo damn excited for this album

[@momizuga12]

Interesante que en este nuevo disco aspiren por un sonido más crudo, porque de verdad nos han acostumbrado a grandes producciones que te trasladan a otro espacio, como a otro mundo, de esas que te erizan la piel. Ese enfoque natural, que a mi parecer refleja madurez, intriga, porque de verdad es como desnudar el talento, que en esta banda sobra. Pero más que eso, lo que nos brindarán es más íntimo, más real, lo que demuestra una mayor confianza en su base de fans, pero sobre todo en sí mismos.

[@davidbeard77]

No overlapping vocals and harmonies?? I've always loved A7X for their eclectic approach to the metal sound, and it's just really hard to picture them doing a whole album of bare bones riff driven songs. I like that they are always willing to experiment, hope it works out.
