Getting wrecked by Synyster Gates! Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage in Rocksmith 2014

[@Chainbrain]

Come hang out with us live! I swear I usually play songs better 😅 www.twitch.tv/chainbrain

[@nmbr1slayer]

Dude, it's still better than the crap one takes of me playing original freestyle trash I've posted to youtube half drunk recording from old cell phones. Lol. Don't be so hard on yourself brother.

[@edwinsaez82]

I know Syn's solos throw you off, but that is what I like about his sound. He's not trying to follow "normal" patterns, he likes to experiment a lot. That is what I love about his style

[@chitoryu12]

I read an interview with him and Zacky. Apparently Syn is always reading musical theory books and practicing and Zacky gets annoyed because he writes co-lead parts that are too hard for him to learn.

[@LucasBenonisen]

@@chitoryu12 i watched that too, i think its amazing, but it think he likes it hahahaa, it is funny

[@andrelucas3804]

​@@LucasBenonisenwhere did u watch it

[@ldmb1966]

@@andrelucas3804 Think it was in their Eddie Ball String Theory interview

[@beansandwiched]

I agree. Even if it doesn't sound normal to others, it sounds melodic to me. You could feel ot building up.

[@noahbeal4555]

Looking back, I'm so glad they picked up that drummer from bad religion. He brought so much life back into the band that had been missing on hail to the king.

[@_.Mercury._]

Yeah, Brookes is a mad man. they peaked talent wise in "The Stage". cant wait to see what their new album holds when they drop it.

[@Marta1Buck]

Arin is a capable drummer, but the age gap did affect their creative direction.

[@justinbowen1183]

They didnt miss anything on hail to the king. Drummer was told to keep it simple and grooving and that's exactly what he did. His real talent shined on carry on and not ready to die.

[@Mapleman_9009]

@@justinbowen1183 I'm not really a fan of Hail to The King, but Arin in Not Ready To Die was amazing. He nailed the a7x sound on that one.

[@videogamecoverss]

@@Marta1Buck Naw, but A7X basically made Arin "Keep the parts simple" on purpose. Arin wanted to do more but they refused to let him.

[@MoiseDosSantos]

"I might completely wreck the song" famous last words 🤣

[@Chainbrain]

It's all over

[@DankBeef]

I think Synyster Gates said recently that he's used hallucinogenics to help him mentally and artistically. This song is probably one of those lol, such a sick song

[@lukecurley8769]

I saw that aswell I think Brooks might have aswell by the sounds of the drums

[@DankBeef]

@@lukecurley8769 He's a monster on the kit that's for sure. Both of them are phenomenal musicians and have family who are also fantastic to put it simply lol.

[@jerrenenns95]

Gates has music theory degrees and has learned from some big name musicians over the years. It’s no wonder his patterns are pattern-less.

[@TheRealHaloLover]

I heard on tour he practices for 6+ hours a day 😬🫠

[@AlexOnCourse]

@@TheRealHaloLoverthat would explain a lot- I need to get on his level. Maybe it’s time to practice at least 3 hours a day.

[@sophiegonzales2615]

this song is soo great, the vocal and lyrics, synyster gates electrical and acoustic guitar parts...and It was very funny chainbrain having a bad time trying to sightread the intro

[@pindadopje0162]

Synyster Gates really makes the guitar cry its so amazing definitely my favourite guitarist of all time.

[@qwwupp4763]

I adore this song so much. What you said about Avenged Sevenfold music not making sense and never seeing it before is exactly why they are my favourite artists. Its so unique and you have to listen to a song multiple times to unpack all there is

[@ryanholt4911]

The solo at the start is a nightmare, took me a year and a half to master it on real guitar so when I play rock smith it just flows like butter

[@Chainbrain]

Rocksmith is not real guitar?

[@OneDayOfPiece]

I can't even play that on rock band 4 🤣

[@weird_perspective68]

[@TheDeathJesters1337]

"I'm afraid" - Every guitar player ever when trying to play along with Synyster Gates

[@Mars-pc8zl]

Hello fellow guitarist here. That comment you made at about 7:10ish is exactly why I can't play anything other than Avenged Sevenfold. Syn gets a lot of his ideas and stuff for solos and songs from Jazz actually. He's a huge Jazz fan and because of that nothing makes sense and he's really just a jazz/metal hybrid

[@GeraltOfLibya]

Gets brutally rekt and decides to upload it to youtube Legend

[@Chainbrain]

Sometimes you just gotta do the thing

[@dom6029]

guy took one for the team

[@morsteen]

We gotta be ok with it, and we gotta be ok with each other.

[@_ThunderFire]

You gotta do what you gotta do 👍

[@Slider712]

Synyster Gates is one of the best guitarists alive and this song showcases that. The guy is just unreal.

[@Sòl_2716]

the little solo at the beginning took me forever to pin down, the hardest part is going from the full tapping to tapping the trill across different strings lmao. it's weird at first but once you get the "flow" down it's so smooth and satisfying

[@whowastheoneguy4719]

One of my favorite A7X songs. Great shredding and heart too

[@Swaggaroni]

Been waiting for you to play this song and you nailed it for someone that's never heard the song + the insane chart!

[@JuanitO_o]

fair play man , u actually did great for getting all these notes coming at your face so fast. Keep it up! also a7x just rocks :D

[@Ranger.TomGunna]

The drums and lead guitar in this song is top fucking notch

[@TheREALHugo4]

This is madness.

[@keharacek]

Damn, Synyster Gates' playing is something else, literally.. I have the same exact issue you have. As the time goes I can sight read more and more different solos but never A7X.. His style is something else. Keep on rocking! 🤘

[@KirePlasmaX]

Yeah, A7X is just too good at what they make, especially Syn. This entire album has some of the craziest, most fluid, soulful guitar work I've heard from him, my favorite piece being the solo off "Creating God" or any of the flowing solos from "Exist." Truly mindblowing composition.

[@chitoryu12]

He reads a lot of music theory books and practices constantly so he can whip out insane shit that Zacky has complained is too hard for him to play along too.

[@ZemzyOseris]

You know, I thought this solo was hard to learn, then I attempted the solo from Nobody, I don't understand how it's humanly possible 😅

[@SuperThales99]

1:10 it's even funnier when you notice the current song score dropping xD

[@samuelthigpen889]

That intro is insane XD

[@crnibass1994]

That drum intro by Brooks is also off the chain tho. As for Syn, he's a virtuoso, he has a great master class and also a guitar school with Papa Gates 😁

[@ImShawnFrost]

Love that song ! Honestly I still dont know how u can process those hard songs with this interface, gj !

[@Chainbrain]

Just lots of practice and time spent. it doesn't always work the best (like in this video lol)

[@39rbn61]

congrats on 100k views!

[@2yoyoyo1Unplugged]

Syn always just writes the BEST solos lol

[@YooItzAroy]

Synester has some complicated stuff he's pretty underrated imo

[@Skuld512]

not ready to die

[@tinplatedave]

I think you did awesome. That song is insanely hard and I can't play it nearly as good.

[@nastynate_95]

Yo love having the chat on the screen 👍🏼 hope you leave it this way 😅

[@nickcrazedstaber2592]

YESSSSSSSS ONE OF THE BEST A7X songs. The solo is So Godamn good. Wish i could play it, but Synyster Gates is something else. Also Currently Doing Payments for one of his signatures. Should be paid off by The 16th. Good job on the song Chain. The Tapping beginning is Kinda Complicated so i feel you.

Anyones thoughts on Rocksmith +? I have Rocksmith added a ton of content to it. Rocksmiiith 2014 added a ton of content to it. Then moved to just truning all guitar tones off in mixer and only using Bias FX then Bias FX2. Are the tones good?

Yo chain brain! Since you have dumped like thousands of hours into this game do you have any riffs you made up yourself? Also, do they still charge $10/month to play this game? Would love to get back into it but im not into subscription charges every month.

genuinely curious, in some of your older vids you said you hated some a7x songs (I assume from a playing standpoint) but I'm just curious what you think about them as a band
