Avenged Sevenfold "Nightmare" Live in Salt Lake City, UT | 08.11.2017

No matter how many times I see this song live, Johnny’s backup vocals will always be hilarious

Nobody can replace him cuz he dont leave the band

[@Neal85]

Since we are talking about who can sing in the band, honestly M Shadows is pretty bad too. Best thing about this band still today is Sinister Gates. He is Avenged!

[@johnnybigmac5756]

@@Neal85 Ok, but even though what he's playing isn't the most complicated stuff in existence, Brooks is definitely has the most skill out of anyone's respective instrument in my opinion. Most of the stuff throughout Avenged's discography (though irreplaceable and iconic at times) doesn't showcase his potential well, but his technique and skill can certainly rival the greats.

[@sondeland9041]

Johnny Christ is the leader of Avenged Sevenfold. With out Johnny Christ Avenged Sevenfold would be nothing. We all hail Johnny Christ.

[@Egordon2222]

Was going to say something similar. I can remember first discovering these guys back in secondary school and then the passing of the REV on my birthday and having had them on a pedestal for so long, is good to see more of their human side!

[@AscensionUSA]

they aren't even really making "mistakes". They will just play riffs slightly differently to make it interesting. When you've been doing the same songs for 10+ years, you can start to mess around, especially Brian who's amazing at improv

[@donteverquit1987]

The stepfather of Synyster gates answered someone on Facebook. He said that the new album was almost done. Matt´s voice was amazing. And said that Syn had a little girl and zacky had another child too.

[@human2069]

If the new album is anything like the stage it's gonna be amazing. Brooks is an absolute badass and shadows voice sounds great.

[@m4x_129]

It is likely to be similar to the stage, please haha, it is a not very liked album, but man it is an absolute piece of art, have you ever heard Exist? People dont like it because it is far away from the classic a7x metalcore songs, but it is undeniably more complex and artistic, even more than the others🔥
