Avenged Sevenfold - So Far Away w/ fan playing lead guitar

[Liebecks]

Letting fans up on stage for an experience like that... Is Great

[xDGrunkeeoP]

Fuck so I have a wrong solo XD but still sound the same I guess!

[1989sjb]

that was fucking awesome

[taylatight]

damn..that was amazing



[shannon971000]

THAT GUY IS EPIC.

[TheFuckOffMartin]

@drag0nfis7 I am actually a drummer too, I requested to play this song on guitar because the rev is my biggest influence and wanted to play it on guitar. Also they play to a click track live which is probably why they haven't played an entire doing with fan on drums.

[drag0nfis7]

Dam! I wish I could head up stage and drum with them sometime. On their next concert I'm gonna get a front row ticket and a large sign asking them if I can drum with them! Anyone thinks this might be a good idea?

Songs I know: A Little Piece of Heaven, So Far Away, Almost Easy and a few others! :D

[mickeybat6661]

1:50 epic smile from the guy :D

[quickflash999]

i think a7x wants to show that, family is important, and they are trying to send a message that is all a7x fan is a family.. and the critics is a challenge for them to be better althought they are the best for mordern metal bands

[drakeman00]

Freakin awesome, kudos brother.....you did an awesome job

[YoLpIsBest]

Well, to be honest that is one of the easiest solos you can play if you have any experience of playing guitar but of course still he did an amazing work, my hand would be shaking so fucking much!

[rubn7291]

@YoLpIsBest of course men!!!! i had the chance to play with Mastodon Iron Tusk and for me its a easy song ,like eating breakfast every day but when you're over there in the stage its a different story!!!!!!!

[JennieD1971]

I have tears in my eyes watching this!

[nuk2455]

กูร็อคคค

[C3H80]

This has got to be the most epic moment in that guy's life. Even I feel it for him. It was just that great. Just look at him, he absolutely nailed the song and the solos, considering there were thousands in front of him and playing alongside such an awesome band. I would have pissed in my pants if I were him. But he was so calm, and controlled, he even chattered with syn, zacky and johnny as if he knew them for years. Who could do that?! He absolutely stole the stage.I just feel so happy for him

[BrianBoi2]

He Played the solo like a BOSS!

[RmNaNtCbScRrn]

dude, this is a BEAST QUALITY!

[mcginnisljustin]

Just like rockband

[TheFuckOffMartin]

@B14NOLA thanks dude

[B14NOLA]

@TheFuckOffMartin Nice job man... Nicely done.....

[jtspecialties]

Yes, he's a lucky SOB for getting to play live with A7X, but can you imagine how satisfying that must be for Syn that he has fans who will learn to play his music and literally beg to join them at concerts? Works both ways I guess. Anyway, awesome video!

[jacaria21]

Jake did an awesome job! Lucky bastard!

[lilredhead76]

is it ok for a 35 yr old woman mother of 3 to be truly envious? but in a good way

[AcDg347]

what a fucking douche bag

[EvolutionXiHere]

He solo it in the wrong location haha

[ImDeaTh1234]

If Syn lets you hold his guitar, you know you'll die happy.

If M. Shadows puts his arm around you while singing, you know you'll die happy.

If Syn claps and smiles at you after you solo, you know you'll die happy.

WHEN ALL THE 3 FUCKING THINGS HAPPEN IN 3 FUCKING MINUTES, YOU KNOW GOD FUCKING LOVES YOU.

[MrJuggalotus966220]

@ImDeaTh1234 you can also die happy by having a beautiful child and cherishing yours and their life, but those are other ways lol:p

[MrAssassinkill]

@ImDeaTh1234 if Syn puts down his beer to clap then God automatically gives you a spot in heaven

[sherrycremeans]

@ImDeaTh1234 made my day man

[alan517815]

@ImDeaTh1234 Kinda weird when he doesn't excist eh..

[danieldeerejones123]

i was thinking at the end ye now play welcome to the family bitch

[danieldeerejones123]

syn didnt look to happy about him holding syns guitar

[danieldeerejones123]

i cant wait for my first a7x concert mwahahahahahaha

[TheKrZySnIpEr]

ok if syn claps for you you know your amazing

[steelersfan200]

of course it's pre planned. do u really think syn would let anyone touch his guitar if it wasn't?

[TheFuckOffMartin]

@steelersfan200 all you guys think this was pre-planned, it was not. I made a sign asking to play so far away... I went to both grand forks ND and bismarck ND... shadows called me up in bismarck. NOTHING WAS PREPLANNED just very fucking lucky that I got up to play it.

[steelersfan200]

@TheFuckOffMartin my bad dude. that's amazing. i'm even more jealous now lol

[MrSullivans1304]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMG SO LUCKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYY

[natza754]

เก่งจริง

[TheFuckOffMartin]

@fahadxile no it wasn't... Im the one who played it

[ChrisLavertyFreerun]

4:28 Shadows is in love with this guy

[diana002563]

omG! SYNYSTER GATES IS SO FUCKING HOT

[SidMoonwings]

A7X : Best band ever !

Tell me, where you can see a thing like that

[sean007ist]

@SidMoonwings cool song the best song

[arran8910]

Hopefully when i next go to an avenged gig, if i bring my bass and a big sign, reckon they'll let me play? I know most of the songs XD

[fahadxile]

Believe it or not, its all pre-planned. Still awesome though!

[ChrisDiCarlo]

:'( I wish I could be able to do that, I nail this song :')

[chocochick247]

I just got all giddy inside...

[vanaisthebomb]

This guy is my fucking hero.

[TheFuckOffMartin]

@SkolViking88 my fav is when he said jimmy would be proud... I wanted to play that song for him so that means a lot to hear

[98Bendik]

Omg he played one guitar Syn has Playd on before!! Lucky son of a bitch!..

[Vanity6277]

I play guitar and it'd be a dream to play with Avenged

But I'd just stand there like 'this needs to be perfect for Jimmy!'

And that kid totally got it, he's very lucky :)

[alexiswolf24]

This happened at the concert I went to... the guy nailed it there!

[SkolViking88]

I've had a few questions about the camera I use. I use a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS5. The ZS7 is the new version and takes the same quality. I think the audio with this camera is by far the best I've used for concerts. Glad everyone likes the video - my favorite part is the end when Shadows says "that was fucking AWESOME!". Priceless.

[MrJubijubidoo]

THATS IT....A7X is coming to my place in 29 of April and im gonna so fucking learn how to play all theyre songs in 3 months so that if im lucky enough to be called upstage to play wit them...ill be fucking ready :DDDD

[BFMVHandofblood1]

i would fuckin kill to play anything with them

[MyMomThinksImSpec1al]

im waiting for one of the fans to trip and break the guitar in half...what would you do???

[xXxMoreCowbellxXx]

@MyMomThinksImSpec1al that would be so fucking funny

[MrThegamer015]

he fuckin rocked that solo

[l00serville]

[TheZCodeProject]

Justin bieber and Rebbeca black have two accounts

[RainInTheFace1000]

When Jake came up i just got all teary and cried throu the whole song...wish i got to meet the bands.

they musta started in rite after the concert tho,becaus it was a couple hours from Zacky V's birthday lol. The best bands were on this tour! fuckin amazing

[azahari09]

[leos4life21]

[Baller527]

[autrojan2012]

@Baller527 Ya damn right!

[SuperGuitarMan987]

A few mistakes, but who would play it perfect in front of like 9864398056283746985234 people :D

[MenInTightsooh]

[mrvictory0910]

The way syns like O.O at the begining, clearly not impressed.

[acdw]

after playing he goes over and hugs syn. He asks, "Hey bro, can I keep your guitar?"

[newraze]

probably the best fan performance live on YT :)

[xpanik17x]

this song is about lost if u can understand lost its a very sad song.to that kids playing its the best time of his life.its a bit of a crazy moment if u think of it

[xxlindseyann92xx]

@Mindfreakfan11 No, I wasn't talking about the end. I'm talking about at 3:45 where he runs back to see Arin. Trust me... I know the difference between Arin and Syn

[xDGrunkeeoP]

3:11 nice finish WIN!

[Mindfreakfan11]

this also would be my dream...but i dont think i could handle myself, id probably break down mid song

[MimiGontier777]

[IEVIL2011]

It takes some balls to get on stage in front of all of those people AND Synyster Fucking Gates and even attempt to play one of his songs. He did an awesome job.

[RmNaNtCbScRrn]

lol syn at the solo is like.. um i play it different, you're playing it wrong but whatever... lol

[tanujgaurav]

[JMmusic4U]

@BloodshotDan121 he wasn't prechosen...he brought a sign with him saying that he wants to play the song with them

[rikiu2]

@BloodshotDan121 not prechosen, the last kid they had who played guitar on his song completely sucked.

[TheFuckOffMartin]

@BloodshotDan121 I brought a sign with to both the Grand Forks and Bismarck show... definitely not prechosen, just became one of luckiest people ever

[23bshorty]

@TheFuckOffMartin i dream about this every night, you are lucky!

[xxlindseyann92xx]
