Avenged Sevenfold - Nobody Solo (Live @ Welcome To Rockville 2023)

[@soltar7777]

Holy fuck, cannot believe he did it that good live, legendary.

[@funkdatshiz3970]

? why

[@empyrean-jamelgreaves8034]

It is Syn…

[@PureBrutality]

i can

[@echo_94]

Bro Syn is great live

[@JonathanOrtegaLobo]

​@@echo_94 i'm pretty sure everyone knows that, but the solo is quite difficult for live (imo). To be fair, he positioned himself to solely concentrate in the solo (not a critique).

[@josephswosinski8605]

bro as much as i love the solo. i think the drums are sooooooooooooo fucking good here

[@komando5102]

Ive been saying this, the drums sound almost like the way someone breathes when they're crying, all frantic and such

[@H.E.M.]

No way their last drummer could’ve played this. Sad he got fired but Brooks is the guy.

[@MannyMo_]

@@H.E.M. each drummer has their own style. Their new drummer changed their style of music and it’s surprisingly a good fit for A7x.

[@christtel1484]

​@@H.E.M.nah did yu watch their nightmare tour wirh arin, hes a BEAST drummer, I just think hail to the king as an album required him to compose more oldschool classic drumming over brooks that had full liberty to go very weird in the stage and now this.

[@pascalschulz5894]

​@@christtel1484 Yeah, they even said that they asked Arin to hold back and make it simpler to have that 80s rock/metal vibe. Dude could play, he recorded the drums for Carry On and Not Ready To Die, which are kick ass. Brooks is still on a different Level in my opinion though, but that's to be expected by the age gap alone. I think Brooks plays drums as long as Arin is alive. 😂

[@H.E.M.]

I love how Syn never stagnated as a guitarist. His solos get better with every album, and the feel he puts into them is insane.

[@csanadmusic]

xd u sure? have you heard city of evil? xd

[@csanadmusic]

jesus, reading out your comment again, how can you say such bs? I mean M.I.A. solo? Sidewinder acoustic solo? Save me solo? dull and mindless shredding? so stupid comment

[@christtel1484]

​@@csanadmusicthey are all good, and maybe its becsuse Im older than when I first started listening to them but Ill take the phermi paradox or the stage solos over bat country and MIA.

[@csanadmusic]

@@christtel1484 they are definitely different, but pls refrain from saying they are dull or mindless shredding because they are the most lively and energised solos I’ve heard

[@pascalschulz5894]

​@@christtel1484 A lot of his old Solos definitely were fast and flashy for the Sake of it, but they also had feeling back then. Gotta agree with his Solos since The Stage though - different level.

[@iljavioloprojects]

This is one of the hardest solo I ever played, and seeing Syn put all his focus to play it live here is so wonderful. It really is a hard solo.❤

[@JonnyRottenn__]

I sat down the other day and just tried to play it slow, and it was still such a challenge.

[@jamesnorton7601]

Dude's got impeccable timing. Plus he loves gypsy jazz He's awesome

[@isaacdecker6404]

That guitar is so sick! I want it now

[@JokerCat9]

They're making a production version soon

[@Pasiphae]

[@MannyMo_]

It’s pretty cheap bro, only $2,450

[@AUTI5T1X]

@@JokerCat9 No. they're not. There's nothing about it that's been said by Schecter as of yet.

[@ffxtiduskevin]

@@JokerCat9 End of the nobody trax episode he talks about making this guitar a production model with schecter. Its coming. The one hes playing here is very frankenstiened and custom.

[@blackstonejimmy]

The nod of “yeah, that went really well” at the end 😂

[@DeweyJHall1]

My thoughts exactly lol

[@KarzGuitar]

Love that we can finally see the official way of playing it! Too many youtubers doing extra tapping to cover some of the crazy note ranges, but they never sounded quite right.

[@cfishernb]

Syn used to be a bit sloppy playing fresh material the first few months which is to be expected. He absolutely slaughtered that solo. The amount he improved from nightmare to The Stage is insane. The amount he improved from The Stage til now may be even more impressive. I should note that I believe Nobody has been complete or at least close for a few years now so he probably has played it a lot but still... just damn that's impressive. A lot of his playing his going to go down as legendary. Really gives me some Allan Holdsworth vibes in this solo. Probably due to the complexity. Holdsworth was a pianist that learned guitar, essentially he played guitar in more of a piano way. The Nobody solo was written to be a violin solo and the band was going to find a youtube violinist to play it, but due to time and the pandemic the band just told Syn to do what he does and rip a nasty solo. He played that violin solo on a guitar and he was pissed with the way it sounded and hated it for a while. All while the rest of the band and everyone that heard it said it was incredible. Edit: just going to say that the part about the Nobody solo is straight from Syn's mouth in an interview shortly after the release of Nobody.

[@nicolasreny221]

Definitely will check him out sounds interesting

[@NotedEel]

that's a great story about how this epic guitar solo came to be!

[@DukeOz]

We'll, considering that this song was probably written 3 years ago and it's his most technical solo (don't even argue about it) I would not be surprised if this was his full skill live, but we will see

[@elbentzo]

Sorry but that story about the violin is bogus. Maybe it has some truth in it, like maybe they really did want a violin solo there at first and then changed their mind or something, but the fact that this particular solo was written for a violin is nonsense. Anyone who knows anything about guitar playing can immediatley see this solo was written by a guitar player as it incorporates many guitar specific techniques, specifically ones common in metal. And anyone who knows anything about playing the violin could tell you that it's VERY unsuited for the istrument. Either the entire sotry is BS or maybe there's a shard of truth to it, but it's definitely not a violin solo played by a guitar player like you said.

[@nicolasreny221]

@@elbentzo go argue with the band themselves then cus they said it on their podcast

[@ryancurfman]

Either that’s a custom Kiesel Thanos or Schecter is going to finally make a headless guitar haha

[@y3llowgd943]

it looks like a kiesel vader

[@spoonerluv]

Definitely not a Thanos. that 100% looks like Schecter made a headless Avenger for him.

[@lohkebeats]

He will be in contract with Schecter so doubt he would play another brand. Most likely from the customer shop!

[@30_second_guitar]

@@y3llowgd943 Diffrent body shape. Its Schacter. But probobly only for him. But who know. Schecter latly get pretty good guitarist roster so maybe they star doing stuff like headless

[@sigmundfreuddoeshisownmoth3874]

It also has a 7th string. Which might appear on a song on the album unfourtunatly.

[@cofiddle]

DUDE. thank you so much for this, by far the best video of him playing it live. And he nailed it too, jesus

[@threecubed3]

Damm that headless with the syn style body looks sooo good

it’s his solo. he should be playing it better if anything

[@zulkhairia.182]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@Korbs7 im about to say a same thing. that’s literally his solo wtf this guy talking about.

[@IJustWannaSleep1]

Wow and you can do his shit better? Suure

[@TheMiksutzo]

@@zulkhairia.182Ofcourse its his solo but he has played that on studio where u do parts lot of the times over and over until its perfect + in studio he plays guitar when he sits on a chair so sweeping/alternative picking is lot easier. In this scenario its onetake, he stands(playing is harder) + they havent performed in a long time cause covid and its first time to play their new song live what also brings pressure what the audience thinks about it. Its not about like he doesn´t know how the solo is played. According all of this Syn nailed it in a way many couldve not done the same even close in this kind of scenario. So mad respect!
