seeing Matt on Syn's guitar: *mind explodes*

[@gachispy]

In the next video: Syn playing bass, Zacky on drums, Johnny singing with Brooks

[@todorokishoto7169]

PossiblyImNoob ZACKY ON DRUMS 😂

[@OktaviaMikii]

mind fuck

[@hizunami1224]

Jhonny on vocal

[@benwasson7]

Haven’t we had enough of Jonny’s singing from nightmare

[@fabumota]

I support a 50 min video of these Studio Sessions

[@goosemcgoosey902]

i second this strongly

[@joshwhite-pullerofstrings9518]

yes please

[@XpSAN]

The Strife how bout from the start till the end without cut version?

[@joshwhite-pullerofstrings9518]

XpSAN how about just a camera following them around everywhere they go and completely uncut

[@hathien8389]

yupppp me toooo

[@skorpionmvv]

Matt playing guitar. Nice

[@Skarrow9]

SkorpionPlays - Destiny Hey I know you!!

[@skorpionmvv]

Hey there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@Skarrow9]

This new album is absolutely killer!

[@Wrathchild1995]

I never even knew Matt could play guitar tbh :P Was cool to see though

[@frenkie0902]

he recorded some parts during selftitled album

[@rustyshackleford4743]

It's amazing how different his speaking and singing voices are.

[@tyler_bt3326]

Rusty Shackleford without seeing his face he sounds a lot like TJ Miller

[@Ikiya69]

His voice has change... I saw an old interview, his voice was deeper back than..

[@TheHaggis0451]

Sarcastichuman Beingsarcastic I'd also imagine that it's a bit worn out if this was filmed during the recording.

[@AxanLderE]

It's just from his singing practice. His voice sounds much more light and free than ever before which is a good thing. He's using more frontal placement so he's not pushing his voice from the chest so much anymore.

[@Bushheadmonster]

Who else thinks this album is phenomenal?!

[@josuebauer8707]

ManUtd18 i do

[@SachinAgarwal17]

ManUtd18 meee

[@carmendavalos5026]

ManUtd18 definitely 🎶

[@jonathanlight2451]

ManUtd18 me too it's one my new top favorite from start to finish

[@raquelcorreia628]

Me :)

[@ChucksPullingVideos]

I didn't know Matt could play like that. Cool!

[@OiAvogadro]

Fancy seeing you here lol

[@LoganLeBlanc]

me either like seeing a few mins of him playing guitar was incredible like that was something I enjoy about Matt and for Brooks he's like a machine just drumming away.

[@ChucksPullingVideos]

***** I'm everywhere lol

[@OiAvogadro]

Haha, I've got you on facebook and was scrolling through here and i was like, oh shit I know him lol

[@ChucksPullingVideos]

LOL nice. Yeah I'm a big A7X fan :)

[@SachinAgarwal17]

Fuck!! First time I have seen matt. Play guitar

[@acajou299]

Sachin Agarwal You never saw the making of their self titled album?

[@OldSchoolDudeGaming]

Yeah but electric guitar. I knew he did acoustic.

[@simbathegermanshepard9564]

he played with slash to on the song they made

[@acajou299]

OldSchoolDudeGaming he wrote a few riffs on electric guitar like on Critical Acclaim

[@SachinAgarwal17]

I know he plays guitar. And I have seen a couple of clips and pics too but never like this.

[@davidpoliak605]

That moment when you see shadows play the guitar which was kinda cool but you wonder how.... then you realize he's got one of the best guitarists alive as a best friend :D

[@lewylui7044]

He was playing way before sevenfold was even formed, said the first song he learned was strength beyond strength

[@ayapamungkas2267]

He learned guitar before he learned to sing tho...

[@infernosdante4557]

Lol? Wtf is this comment? Learning how to play guitar is not impossible, most people can play something on a guitar. Matt was playing since he was a kid.

[@DemonEvidence]

@@infernosdante4557 haha that's exactly what I thought

[@adamekkk94]

Zacky wearing Bad Religion t-shirt while jamming with their former drummer - priceless

[@joshwhite-pullerofstrings9518]

so matt wrote that opeth-sounding octave riff

[@tundraaa_]

Matt is not only a great vocalist, but just a great musician.

[@japmikakli819]

"Brian is gonna sing" come oon guys! You should've showed that

[@geroc_dj]

I fucking love everything of this album

[@seque6c]

Jajaja se que sos argentino por la foto del pls de newells, aguante avenged

[@geroc_dj]

Felipe Sequeira jajajajaja estás en lo correcto

[@agustinrapiman3484]

Como tocan estos hijos de puta, shadows, zacky, gates y johnny unos cracks. Y Brooks toca re sarpado la batería

[@seque6c]

Agustin Rapiman Brooks es un animal

[@agustinrapiman3484]

Felipe Sequeira Es una bestia, toca re piola en Paradigm. Bah, en todo el álbum y en los conciertos

[@KarlstadDrums]

Wow! Didn't know Matt could play guitar that good!

[@FeedeDelRojo]

He used to be the guitar player with Zacky, before syn Syn appears.

[@KarlstadDrums]

Feede_ He was didn't know that he did the guitarr before syn. So did he record Sounding The seventh trumpet? Cause syn wasn't a part of that

[@FeedeDelRojo]

nils01 He recorded the demos from STST, then syn appears.

[@ExternusArmy]

@@FeedeDelRojo No, Zacky recorded the entirety of the original version of STST. After Brian joined, they re-released the album where they replaced only the original piano version of To End the Rapture with a new version of the song that features Brian's guitar playing (the one we're all used to hearing). The rest of the album was still entirely the same with Zacky's original guitarwork. You can find that original piano version of the song on KZbin. It's interesting because you can even hear the vocals sound completely different between the two. You can hear the immature Shadows voice on the original and the very specific Waking the Fallen-era tone in the updated version.

[@RasenReturns]

Paradigm, Sunny Disposition, and Exist are 10/10. Shadows was absolutely right about the album being off-putting at first. I hated it the first few times I listened to it, and now I adore all but one song on it

[@TheGeorgepao13]

that one song is Simulation, isn't it?

[@OK-ss3ln]

That is my favorite song off the album 😂

[@zinsurge470]

Gp TheLastSinigami Yeah Simulation is hard for me to get into as well. Don't quite understand it.

[@HateProximity]

DragonRising II oh same here...I legit was like "I need a new favorite band now." But it grew on me

[@subutaynoyan5372]

The bests for me are Creating God, God Damn, Fermi Paradox(hidden gem), Roman Sky(Because I love Giordano Bruno) and Exist(One does not simply exclude Exist)

[@dansands6363]

ahh so Matt played the intro guitar on this song, cool!

[@gtamoviestudios]

Danny Sands no he didnt

[@Kryptor360]

Danny Sands More like he created that part aside with Brian.

[@ExternusArmy]

Probably not on the album. This was a jam session while they were writing and recording the album.

[@garretsimpson4924]

The dog walking around the studio near the end. 10/10

[@RachelKasparek]

Matts voice has really changed... Especially when he's just talking.

[@rock00dom]

Yeah, but it's understandable. He has a singing style that really "strains the voice".

[@dmsnm]

u sacrifice a part of urself on things u love. Now that's dedication and commitment. Respect

[@nselenkou]

Changed, cuz of the high notes that he use now. Sounds weird, yeah..

[@kikofranco5705]

+Никита «Soviet Steel» Зеленков He used to sing higher notes on city of evil and waking the fallen.. I think he is only growing up

[@xGuitarInFlamesx]

Of course it has to change, their first record was like 18 years ago.

[@daverock803]

Breaking contract with warner was ur best move. This is your best album since Waking the Fallen . Keep the great work we love you

[@turkeysandwich3]

M Shadows has such a pretty face omg. Am I the only one who noticed that?

[@Seikatsu26]

turkeysandwich3 he does have that innocent kid look lol

[@likeanuuk6612]

he always looked like a big brother to me. as weird as that sounds

[@solitz89]

brotherzone confirmed

[@ritterdessuprematismus]

I think they are all godlike )

[@monimoo88]

turkeysandwich3 agreed. Although I've always felt Brian has the prettiest face, Matt is definitely the most attractive, I think his personality just makes him more desirable.

[@crystals_w_josie]

I think matt is so right when he says he is challenging the fans, as my boyfriend and my sister don't like this album so much but I'm obsessed! can't wait to see them in January 😍😍😍

[@juanito_666]

Man I feel SO CLOSE to the band in this video holy shit it's amazing

[@akhmadtio1]

Zacky V use the shirt of Bad Religion, and now One of Bad Religion member move to this band... nice 😀😀😁

[@LucasHpm]

I'll make a decision if granted the previlege but I'm afraid my taste is unrefined, and no one likes cheap wine... My favorite verse from this song, it's really nice to sing.

[@fowcircle]

my favorite song from the album, hands down

[@nathanmoreira]

Matt playing the guitar. How fucking awesome is this?

[@Delayeed9]

This is exactly what I thought of the record. Always when you think they are going to play this certain note they surprise you by playing another one and it kept the whole album so interesting to listen to... This album is insanely good.

[@sanfula]

I think the new album is fantastic. I only have positive thoughts about the musical direction you guys are taking. Everything, the drums, guitars, bass, singing, and extra instrumentation are phenominal. Mr. Gates has to be in the top 3 lead guitarists out there right now; it's not just his technical ability, but his style and choice of notes is impeccable.

[@mpk6664]

Shaun Fuller Is Jacky Vincent one if those?

[@sanfula]

I've heard of him, but I'm not all that familiar with his playing. He used to be in Falling in Reverse, right? What would you recommend as some of his best work? I'm always looking for new music to listen to.

[@zackyguitars]

Shaun Fuller look up "wolfsbane" by his new band Cry Venom. Or "Breaking Damnation" by Jason Richardson (another great guitarist). Those are both some of his best pieces in my opinion

[@zackyguitars]

Shaun Fuller Also, since you said you're always into checking out new music, check out my song "imagine" which is focused around some tech guitar stuff! haha all your dreams will come true if you do!

[@sanfula]

Hilarious, I will!

[@FernandoRivera-dm7hh]

MY FAVORITE SONG ON ALBUM!!!!!!! SHADZ OUTDID HIMSELF WITH THE VOCALS IT SOUNDS SO BADASS!!!!!!!!

[@vested420]

The stage has always been my favorite album since the release of it. And sunny disposition has always been of my favorite songs from that album it's awesome to see how it was made. Keep up the amazing work guys and I can't wait for the next album.

[@deandaandres10]

What do you think they are talking about ? Like the meaning of what they are saying

[@WillDaBeast559]

I think I speak for everyone when I say you guys don't have to make these videos so short. We want to see everything we can! Make them all like 30 minutes long haha.

[@sassysudz1]

Sunny Disposition is one of my favorite songs on the album. I like it BECAUSE of the 'funny' notes... that's pretty much how I described it to friends, that it uses "funny notes". Love the background growling vocals

[@95_nishanraisulkarim62]

Lovely Guiter Riff from Matt♥♥…………… That makes Sunny Disposition exceptional......

[@prodbytdash4013]

Man, the way Matt explained everything. This album is genius.

[@hunterdonbach9684]

I love the chemistry in this band

[@NITESCIENTIST]

You can tell how much they love the fans to create videos like this so frequently. I love you guys, rock on.

[@Kloud999]

fucking love this album lyrically and instrumentally ❤

[@WesleyAndradeGuitar]

MATT IS THE ONE GUITARIST THAT IS MISSING ON THE LIVE SHOWS

[@johnkirk7979]

Hope they release a Higher and Fermi Paradox behind the scenes soon

[@hectarpit]

John Kirk looks like they're going in chronological order so it'll be a while.

[@johnkirk7979]

rodriguez_91 Yeah haha

[@LurchyScott]

I just want it to get to Angels so I can see Papa Gates' 1 take solo. I hope they recorded that.

[@donotinquire]

this is a song that if Rev was still alive he would be the main vocals and it would be perfect in my opinion

[@aliefsuryo]

Zacky V with Bad Religion shirt😍

[@zackfraser8924]

I would've liked to see something about the saxophones in this

[@MsPonderthat1]

Zack Fraser they'll probably do a part two like they did with paradigm

[@dawleymatthew]

Zack Fraser those are horns

[@BarrySchanz]

Matty V Horns and saxophones

[@yourmother162]

Matty V do you know what kind of horns they are?

[@zackfraser8924]

Whatever they are,I'd like to see how they were written and recorded like the violins and cellos on Afterlife.

[@XpSAN]

Waiting for "exist" session so bad!!! Please release it soon dude!

[@blinkwave]

What!? This is the first time I see Shadows playing guitar. Great job, man!!

[@catrichbillay1506]

And noooo onnnee liiikes cheap wiiinnee

[@Tigerpaws98]

Stephen Sturgis sounds like the bit in breaking the girl by rhcp

[@LivScarfi]

Stephen Sturgis FAVORITE LINE EVER

[@GJBedrin]

Stephen Sturgis but but buttt... I drink $10 wine all the time

[@SachinAgarwal17]

George Bedrin but do you like it?

[@GJBedrin]

Sachin Agarwal yeah I drank the whole bottle

[@DavidDantePhoenix]

Really love the chords you guys went with in the chorus. Way dark, and unpredictable. 👌

[@imjustheresoiwontgetfined2740]

I always loved these behind the scene videos avenged does. It's probably why I fell in love with the band just cause the guys were so cool

[@SynystersAngel]

M Shadows has one of the best album to live voices when performing, almost sounds exactly the same. Can't wait to see them live again eventually.

[@alevd14]

My favorite song in the album

[@1027corbie]

Words can't describe how much I love these guys!

[@Seikatsu26]

i swear we NEED these studio sessions to be longer

[@Coryiodine]

Its almost unheard of to see a band take a downward spiral and seem like they may be at the ending and then completely kick open the gate and release some of their best work. That takes a whole new level of talent and musical maturity which Avenged has achieved.

[@claudiotjsbr1]

Oh boy... this album is fucking awesome. 'Exist' should be played live. Its a show apart

[@brandonwrobel2712]

Claudio Junior like as something to give matt a rest after a song with a lot of vocals

[@eighteen-naked-cowboys]

it would be great for that, but I can't see them playing it as anything other than the last song. It's too epic to be in the middle of a set.

[@enlightening.wisdom]

maybe they'll just use the awesome intro of Exist as an opening for a show :D that would be rad

[@phdflopper1784]

Why dose Johnny look like that one weird uncle

[@thespartanfox]

I love the collaboration and discussion at the beginning about the notes and reception to them. I think we all know how passionate you guys are about music, but it's nice seeing the serious side behind putting everything together as well.

[@accountjustforwatching]

What I love about this song is that it’s like the “Revelations “ map of avenged sevenfold, there are elements and little hints from previous songs in it and they all make on great songs

[@_h.y._lo._]

I just simply can’t believe that brooks came up with that beat after hearing less than 10 bars of the draft of the song… he’s truly a god

[@jarmalofamerica]

I LOVE Sunny Dispostion! Most definitely one of my favorite songs from A7X ever. And I've been down since C.O.E. Great fuckin album yet again fellas 👍👍

[@loukas371]

this album is amazing guys. It feels good, it feels original, it feels new. Loved it so much from the first couple listens. Can't stop listening to it since the release on fact. May all your albums be as exciting this one.

[@firepants20]

I can't wait to see the studio session for Exist. That's my favorite song on the album.

[@xGuitarInFlamesx]

More Matt singing, his voice in this record was wonderful. And show syn's solos!

[@larissajacobo7237]

i love a7x! they're incredible and perfect

[@ZenGuru9]

On my first listen of 'The Stage' I had to immediately replay this song. So damn good! Loving these studio session videos.

[@CatsCoffeeGuitars]

I really wish they continue in this way ^^ amazing album, it really stands out from the sea of monotomy and your every day riffs. I feel they could get even more proggier though...

[@Adam-ko6dx]

PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE AND LONGER ONES

[@Upsetkiller456]

Ego is sure to save the world. Served up to happy boys and girls!

[@naumz1nho]

Domenick boucher fix*

[@katiea2929]

I love these videos. it's so cool to see how all of this was put together. thanks from the fans for the effort!! also, seeing Matt play a bunch of different instruments other than just singing is awesome. you guys are talented!

[@vomitoriumbassist]

Yep, i have fallen in love with this record.. its dark, and dreary, just like i like my a7x to be! Fucking love this album so much.. its grown on me quite a bit, but this about all im listening to right now.. Would love to see this album live.. last time i saw you guys live was early 2000s, cincy warped tour.. you all had to cut your set, as security was scared the crowd was getting too brutal.. fucking pissed me off.. but.. it was fantastic..

[@therealjoshcollier561]

I think we should all take a moment to appreciate how good whackerman is and how he puts the songs together

[@rummhammm2601]

I wish they did little videos like this for all of their songs. Its awesome to see my favorite band working hard to make great music. Saw them in Toledo Ohio for the second time and they are still the best band I have ever seen live in my opinion.

[@akikoivunoksa635]

Wow M. Shadows on guitar, that's awesome! This is exactly why these studio sessions videos are so great, keep it up!

[@quickscopeoneeighty9158]

I love their creativity. So much talent. I like music that pushes boundries ("unusual" chord junctions) and of course using different genre's styles and colors to create a unique sound. Keep up the great work!

[@stffns]

too short man, we need a DVD for this

[@akshitjha6251]

This is my favorite song off the record. Feels like more A little peace of heaven kinda song. Watching behind the scenes of how they created this is just mind blowing.

[@patient8098]

these videos really are getting me excited for January tour! see you in Glasgow & Newcastle!

[@ktbspa123]

I'm loving these videos :) Keep them coming!!! Loved seeing Matt play the guitar!!

[@Wrathchild1995]

I absolutely love this song :D Really hope to hear it live

[@jonathandenny2870]

Seeing matt play guitar is amazing.

[@awseomsauce]

this morning like around 8 i was listening to sunny d and i said "they sound make a behind the scenes for sunny disposition" and then it uploaded today. thank you guys!

[@kristinfjola6918]

Oh I've got Goosebumps! 💖

[@thaghost3260]

I can't wait to see the video about Exist. I just hope it doesn't end up like Coming Home or Sidewinder, where it's one of their best songs but they won't play it live

[@cameronmullins8574]

This album is sick, and now that I bought it I re complete my collection of every album and DVD. Avenged forever my favorite band

[@Lisa-xm4bw]

I absolutely love these "In the studio" recordings!!!

[@LuciForeverInsane]

I loved this album from the very beginning and it is defiantly my favorite of all of the albums. Good work boys and btw I love these videos!!! Love you all!

[@Darkhalo314]

PLEASE SHOW SYNYSTER PLAYING THE SOLO PLEASE!

[@joshfancher2450]

this album is perfect from start to finish.. its on its own level..you can't compare anything to this...I'm eager to hear the songs live

[@HaissaSanoli]

I'M FREAKING OUT This gonnna be just amazing 💙💙💙

[@fairyemofr1]

Saw them in Sheffield last week... definitely my favourite album. Never thought it would be possible to beat after "Avenged Sevenfold"/white album but "The Stage" is mind blowing!!

[@daveaflave6087]

Great Album A7X. Cant wait for Exist Studio Session

[@lymyortiz8384]

This is my first favorite song of this amazing album! The others are badass too!

[@likeanuuk6612]

that horns section is my jam

[@lymyortiz8384]

Amazing song!!! I love the new album and this song!

[@jesslikescoffee24]

I just have to reiterate how much I love these videos

[@fiction2672]

I always look forward to seeing these updates!

[@iamyourgreatgreatgreatgrea6291]

More of Brooks and his drumming, that would be awesome!

[@makizerd]

On this track more than the others, I definitely appreciate what they're going for, because that was my reaction the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc time listening to the track

[@YumeOhEight]

i was waiting for this!! my fave in the album 👌

[@syafiqurrahman418]

first time see M.Shadows playing guitar. AWESOME!!!!

[@mitchellgoldstein1573]

Matts' raw city of evil voice is back. Love it.

[@rogersgonc]

another top stuff! thanks for this great album dudes!
