[@jacksonunruh5076]

Probably I was just trying to be chill and just act like their normal people which they are in the sense. But just like me he probably freaked out the minute they were gone and started screaming lol

[@JShadow6661]

You know that’s what I said to myself for years prior to meeting the band. The ones the moment came I kept my cool. Shook hands took pics. Super cool dudes. They signed just about anything we wanted once they met with everyone. Unfortunately I didn’t want to seem sus and try getting individual pics with each member. We took a group pic with us fans and the band. Which is still badass. Then later on I caught Brooks drumstick which seemed like he handed it to me after their set before Metallica came on

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

I bet he was in complete and total disbelief. Like you're not gonna be losing your shit when your neurons aren't making good connection because you're just confused and surprised lol.

[@nickkduhh]

I met syn at the a little pizza heaven meet and greet and I damn near passed out. Then I got to hangout and have beers with him at Johnny's beer release and it was like hanging out with an old friend while our kids played in the parking lot 😂

From politely asking if Andrew is home, to hugging him, to then taking the initiative of saying "hey let's get some photos" when Andrew was completely floored by the fact he's even there!! Man, Brian is on a whole new level of human. I hope, one day I'll be lucky enough to even spend 5 minutes talking to him. If you need a video to see who these guys REALLY are; this is the video. Absolutely love these guys, pure, kind and just downright respectful. I'll always love them. "Now it's time to get white girl shitfaced and not feel bad about ourselves". My god, can the guy get any more human?

[@rosec8646]

Thank you guys for doing that, that's awesome. I was a bit surprised by his reaction. I would have flipped out, like everyone else said. Maybe the kid was in shock and didn't know how to react. He may have thought that if he freaked out, he would make you uncomfortable. I bet when he went inside, he was like, "Why the fuck, did I just stand there?" replaying it all in his head, thinking of what he should have done, then called all of his friends to tell them what just happened. 😂 I bet it surprised Johnny and Syn that the guy was so chill about it. It was definitely a moment he'll never forget.

[@hunglejewel]

Dude if you two showed up at my door I'd simply pass out. And a SIGNED guitar?????? That's a dream come true!

[@ajalonzo2705]

This will probably get lost and it's been a year but here goes. My music teacher knew I was a huge avenged fan when I was in 8th grade. In his guitar class I flew right past all the regular curriculum songs and instead he had me learning avenged songs instead. This was around the time the self titled album came out and I was playing afterlife on a crappy acoustic guitar. I found out during Christmas break about the Rev passing away and it made me depressed. All I wanted to do was play seize the day over and over again on my guitar during class, I didn't want to even touch anything from the white album after learning just how much the Rev wrote guitar wise for the album and I thought I wouldn't be doing him any justice butchering it acoustically. I was a teen, didn't make a whole lot of sense, but avenged inspired my absolute love for music and my desire to play and sing. A few weeks go by and my teacher hands me an envelope. I opened it up and there were three things inside. One was a letter from one of his friends. His friend had married one of the Revs sisters and wrote me a letter detailing the rest of the package along with a request to never broadcast it, sell it, basically don't be a prick. The next was the pamphlet from James Sullivan's funeral along with directions to where his gravestone is. Attached to that was a letter from none other than Synyster Gates himself, the letter saying "please don't ever stop playing, the world needs people just like you." I have it framed and I look at it every day as I leave my bedroom to face whatever is in store for me. Thank you Brian, thank you Avenged Sevenfold. I'm 26 now, I play guitar, bass, sing, and have been writing music for myself ever since. I had a band during high school called Discontented we released an album, "The Blood and the Beautiful" in 2019. As of now we're no longer together due to just simple life circumstances, but at no point did my desire to play music ever leave me. To this day I still write and play, messing around with home recording stuff. I don't know if I'll ever release it, but it makes me happy and fulfilled knowing I put 100% of my creative energy towards music and Avenged Sevenfold is what started me down the path in the first place. One day I'll make my way to his grave, I'll drink a toast to Jimmy, and thank him for the impact he himself and those who loved him had on me.

[@TommyReaperProductions]

If you guys ever deliver to my house I will throw you guys a party... Maybe a BBQ!!! Show you my home studio.... Man, if that ever happened, I'd have a million questions and just being able to jam with them for like a minute or something would mean so much more to me than signatures and a picture. Just to have a moment to just thank them so much for the songs that helped me through the tough times... To let them know how much I loved their band and how I was blown away by Jimmy "the rev" Sullivan. That guy is my Dime Bag Daryl. I would probably be speechless for like a split second and then I'd have to force myself to shut up... And I'd probably be addressing them as Mr. Gates and Mr. Christ being like stupid respectful.... I mean, I don't want to piss them off, but I figured their more laid back white guys who like a good cook out... So, I definitely would fire the grill up and invite them in and show them as much hospitality as I possibly could... The only thing that would make me throw up and faint though... Would be if Jimmy "the rev" Sullivan showed up at my door.... If he was still alive and he delivered it... I would faint... I would need a medic.

[@GodSmacked75]

He was probably star struck, it hasnt sank in yet, thats why he was chill.

[@zmaninpgh]

Great channel! Me and my son love Avenged Sevenfold we’ve been fans since the beginning. I have an important question for you Johnny or Synyster…. My friend Pete Rossi won the Avenged Sevenfold almost easy guitar contest back in the day about 14 years ago. He has never played that guitar on stage. It was signed by the whole band including The Rev. I shot the video and submitted it. He used my Digitech whammy pedal on the submission… I even encouraged him to keep playing the lead guitar after the vocals came back in which some people loved and some people thought was disrespectful. But you guys voted it the winning submission so I guess my recommendation paid off. My friend Pete Rossi died from fentanyl five years ago this coming March. He was a fantastic guitar player. Al Pitrelli left one of our favorite bands Savatage to join Megadeth. I was determined to move down to Florida to meet any member from the band that I could and I ended up meeting Dr. Killdrums and passed Pete’s music on to him and got him in another band called Reverence because Savatage was in hiatus due to the success of trans-Siberian Orchestra. a bunch of videos of them with my best friend Pete Rossi. He got to do a mini tour over in Europe for about four weeks and they were supposed to do a major tour in Japan and Europe for the second album but he had passed away. I was wondering if there’s anyway I can get a certificate of authenticity or something stating that you guys had signed this Guitar. I don’t mean to be boisterous when I say it’s probably the only Synyster Gates Schecter guitar ever signed by the whole band with Rev signature on it. Me and Pete were so proud that he had won this guitar. I don’t know if a certificate of authenticity ever came with the guitar or not. The guitar was completely taken apart when I got it. His brother was a homebuilder and he had clearcoated the body all of the signatures so they wouldn’t rub off. I took it to a Luthier do you have it properly reassembled. I have only played that guitar two or three times in my house. It means so much to me and I don’t want anything to happen to it. If you can respond back to me somehow that would be fantastic! Keep on rocking!
