Synyster Gates Guitar Solo Live In New York City

[billytalentrocks10]

it's funny how people say he's not melodic and has no soul in his playing only by basing themselves on this video... this is a live solo, it's meant to entertain which is why it's just mindless fast licks and sweeps. Go listen to his actual songs before you start talking shit

[TheDIFISI]

How can he not be the best guitarist in the world???!!!

[HammeredVideo]

... DDD:

[TheGargoyleLives]

@SnareMasta2011 Why thank you I really think this band is overrated.

[TheGargoyleLives]

Sissy Gates.

[MrSilver9692]

The Rev could even make Hitting sticks and a Kick drum sound sick.......R.I.P.

[ricknaguitar]

trash

[ThunderMan2022]

@ricknaguitar Yeah hes trash thats why he wins guitarist of the year and golden god awards right?

[minmichmin]

@3:22 that makes me think it's Canon Rock.

[icyha0]

wad so good abt that?

[GuyNamedCarl]

@icyha0 You can't do it. Heheheh.

[JUCA002310]

fuck yeah. he's perfect

[tommW13]

bit of dimebag there >26 secs.awsum job synyster

[TheMetalheadfromhell]

cant wait to see them today!!!!

[blinkfreakzz]

7 people is drinking cat's urine

[BigRuudy]

@Frostadevil, you used a less than sign instead of a greater than. Which means his cat's urine is better than everyone else. Not saying it's not possible, but it'd have to be some pretty cool urine.

[RocknRolSoldier]

@BigRuudy My cat's urine does some pretty wicked stuff to my carpet..

[mountieman18]

i want to meet syn in person so i can learn how to do this

[Warcos6]

7 people are jealous of Syn Gates ´cause they can never do this

Great Gates!

[MrTyler7070]

dood this is some heavy pop dawg

[TheMetalheadfromhell]

Syn look like a mix of The Undertaker and The Crow.... :P

[lampshade46]

@TheMetalheadfromhell and a little bit of slash :p

[nil951357]

that our video guy plays too crazy man that soil must be Synyster Gates

[RETROSPECTdrumming]

3:31 the Rev's like "fucking finally!!"

[basslicker420]

I guess this is the most creative solo pop music has to offer?

[kiss367]

@basslicker420 Unless you're completely stupid, or just jealous, clearly this is not pop, you don't see Britany Spears standing there having a guitar solo, let alone doing one so go watch a band or someone you like who plays the guitar instead of coming on here giving someone else shit!!

[basslicker420]

@kiss367 Settle down kissie.

[xHaterofHatersx]

you would think he could at least act like what hes doing is hard... fuck! why cant i ever be as awesome as syn?

[xboxlivebro]

@xHaterofHatersx cause bryan gates is a guitar god

[XxOmegaslayerxX]

Dear God I Pray James Sullivan Is In A Little Piece Of Heaven In The Afterlife, Making The Angels Scream. He Seized The Day In Bat Country Then Burned It Down, His Unholy Confessions Trashed And Scattered. We Gave Him The Strength Of The World And The Gave Us A Second Heartbeat. He Is MIA, But Will Walk On Through Thick And Thin To The Wicked End. May You Be In Eternal Rest. A Synyster Man Who Will Leave His Shadows Behind And Strikes With A Vengeance, Fearing No Christ For He Is The Rev

[hermanliisgod1]

Mosts guitarists music tends to sound the same or a little similar when its just one person, It's really hard to make every guitar tune sound completely different from the other and not being able to do that doesn't nesecarilly mean your not talented

[someonethrewabrick]

good guitarist. no doubt. all his music sounds the same though. ha

[JakeBIX1]

ppl who don't like...

dont like him cuz they can't do what he does :3

[EwingPatric]

Wow this guy sucks dicks

[Eddie79hockeymasta]

if people think that he is so OVER RATED then they should be able to do that solo just as fast or even faster, which i think is very unlikely, so dont hate what you cant imitate. BUT HES FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!

[joshlsmith3656]

Damn he is the shit hope one day that will be me and my band keep rocking syn!

[mkilp91]

i dont really like avenge sevenfold but this guy killed it

[RTFsoberan]

he so fucking amazing at guitar by computer started to freeze

[ilikepork247]

@RTFsoberan lol so did mine

[cheeky5410]

iLove.

[MrLanglois38]

NICE FUCKING SOLO!!!! NOT! FUCKIN ALEXI LAIHO WANNABE FAGGOT!!!

[Quitarr]

@MrLanglois38 laiho aint wannabe he is friggin talented too! try to play his solos goddamn kid

[ZackAdams2013]

@MrLanglois38 ha..if you don't like him then why are you here? why don't u watch some laiho?? both are great guitarists in their own way. so unless you have something constructive to say...shut it.

[sidthekid8781]

they need to come back to new york...im dyin hereeeeee without themmmmmmmm : /

[leroykell]

@MusicManJoey hahahaha!

[SynVenganceShadows]

he always does the same solo its like become a song syn gates solo = this

[xGuitarStianx]

@liss2503 Remember that he just uses this thing to warm up the publicum, no need to play yngwie malmsteen to do that :)

[lbpghost]

2:27 scream = DAMN! LMao

[RockCovers97]

synyster gates is sinyster !

[manning55]

not even that good im sorry but there are soo many more people that are better than him

[ellis0896]

@manning55 but hes synyster gates?

[Polyrthyawhut]

@manning55 Every kid I've jammed with at guitar center could smoke him on the spot.

He's such an OVERRATED player its unbelievable.

Just because someone is well known and has a bunch of scenester chicks gobbling on his ball sweat doesn't mean he's a killer player. Get it straight.

[kidmj14]

@Polyrthyawhut LOL. Bro. Bat Country solo alone is better than anything anybody you know could play.

[Polyrthyawhut]

@kidmj14 An Actual Musician knows that Avenged sevenfold is shit. Sorry buddy, but theres hundreds of thousands of unknown guitarists that would smoke his trashy ass out. He has the technique of someone whose been playing for a year.

[blackchidori527]

@Polyrthyawhut i highly doubt it. Syn is probabaly better than you so i dont see why your talking shit about him. but i also dont like how people say he is the best. He is not. There are hundreds of people that are better than him but will never get an opportunity to show it.

[Polyrthyawhut]

@blackchidori527 I could play circles around him when it comes to improvisation.

[thegame14042]

Synyster Fuckin Gates!!!!

[meeep56]

what year is this

[GottaRockHard]

@meeep56 06 i think

[meeep56]

@GottaRockHard thnx

[renegade2551]

@meeep56 42

[SynSuicide666]

:DDD

[catalanc166]

[Wellesley805]

@catalanc166

me too!

[MrKite011]

shredding king?

[m1392lovelp]

i love synysterrrr

[IsleptWithAZebra]

I love how the whole solo isn't remotly hard for him.

[edzdeman]

everyone else > synyster gates

[Alphaiz]

@edzdeman Dude you know thats not true, hes not a bad guitarist but there are better. I mostly like him because of his guitar solos in songs because the parts of his solos dont sound repeated too much and they sound good.

[MusicManJoey]

@edzdeman synyster gates > everyone else > my cat's urine > you

[Frostadevil]

@MusicManJoey Just correcting you ;) Every well-known guitarist < Synyster Gates < everyone else < your cat's urine.......

He's not bad, but he is nothing against the great guitarists!

[XnzerX]

*Syn's thoughts*

at 3:10 - yes I'm shredding, no i'm not looking

at 3:15 - yes i know i am a god.

at 3:30 - i wonder how many of y'all just had an orgasm?

at 3:36 - ... Arigato.

[oilersfan93]

his dad brian haner is an awesome guitarist too he did a metal guitar solo openin for jeff dunham lol it was pretty fuckin sweet, and he came out using that guitar too

[bpl711]

Even though it's an ok solo it's not that good

[matthewguitarist93]

the best guitarist and will forever will be! R.I.P. Rev you will be missed

[hydridmeteora]

Jazzmaster!

[kis2e5ta]

till now there's 3 stupid posers who dislike this fucking awesome solo

[JonasBaybie]

@kis2e5ta more like haters who can move thier fingers as fast as he can

[jeremyunderground41]

he should do a guitar solo duet with ORIANTHI someday and that would be EPIC!!!

[ChelMississChel]

Sa guitare est magnifique, ses son son magnifique. IlESTMAGNIFIQUE :)

[A7XISTHETITS]

this is so fucking catchy

[TheJ1979]

He does need to mix it up I guess that Rev wrote better solos than him but thats a given. What really impresses me is what he does with a pick more than the fret board anyone can learn the cords but not everyone can pick like that the guy really is awsome and yeah he lost his damn mind on that guitar in afterlife

[tiagotbb]

This is ART !

[pfcthrasher]

jesus if he can sweep his house as fast as he can sweep pick a guitar...

[AJG22PHILS]

Syn looks stacked in this video, damn

[anastinco]

Yeah! Synyster is the best, man! He rocks a lot!!!!

[zuko25]

I can't decide if this or Rock AM ring one is better. I love Syn cuz he's awesome.

Wish Jimmy was still alive too...

[beastguitaist]

although i could understand why not it would be a shame for them not to find a permantent replacement for the rev being as awesome as they are

[HALOfretmaster]

Does anyone know where i could get tabs for this?

[MrROFLKNIFE]

good christ he's jacked. Wish I could play guitar/look like that xD

[imnotcrazyaskmytofu]

it was fucking awesome in the beginning but then wen jimmy started to bass tap, it sounded even cooler

[Avenged1995]

FUCKING AMAZING

[NicknCarlo]

these guys where fucking rock GODS .... y did jimmy have to die

[stidhamhimer]

o really!? rev died??? yeah he did, everyone knows that stop making sure everyone knows how cool u are w/ ur info...!!!

[Krontos7]

a god

[AllTimeLAXER]

i agree with that..... syn is the best guitarist and the rev is the best drummer!!

[MasterzGamerz]

Yeah Best Guitarist EVER

[stidhamhimer]

and most underrated

[chelseasmile696]

Synyster Gates is a fucking legend. Enough said. \m/

[Yella23greenday]

°_°

[2paktolife]

la la lala la la la

yeaaah!!

[Marina0094]

Man, his hands are huge!

Nice solo though

[rowzy666]

he's my hero <3

sweetest solo ever =3

[ignaguez]

I like when the rev enter in the middle of his solo

[samurai138]

awesome solo, just watch your step Syn

[kickit11BTG]

oh. my. god.

[superstriker00]

I'm not the only one missing a face then.

[Ricky3780]

Best Solo EVER!!!

[MrKhloody]

COOOOOOOOOL MAN !

[santos2462]

R.I.P The Rev. Amazing solo

[RapidEyeMovement69]

Best solo in the world!!

RIP Jimmy Sullivan <3

Our prayers are with your family and all of Avenged Sevenfold and Jimmy's friends. The Reverend Tholomew Plague was an amazing drummer and an awesome guy. We love you Jimmy, you'll be forever in our hearts.

[HorrorChick16]

this guitar solo is amazing!!!!

i like the lil beat jimmy does at the beginning idk why i think its awesome!! RIP JIMMY i love u and i miss u soooooooooooooo much!!!! my prayers are with the family and A7X

[theoldmacarooni8]

RIP THE REV!!

[miracbayrak]

he really love this solo i think

[fox020708]

R.I.P Jimmy Owen "The Rev" Sullivan

[liss2503]

Syn does need to mix it up a bit and come up with something new to play but the guy freakn RAWKS. The hatters just wish they were that good.

[crazyflame93]

@liss2503 Hatter, like in Alice in Wonderland? Really, Gates is fuckin' good at what he does. It's truly a pleasure to watch him play.

[back2thefutre]

@liss2503 it's not about being better than someone. He is and plays the way he is. Thumbs up. Although, this certainly is a sophmoric attempt at playing guitar. Ain't bad though

[minkylaughs]

@liss2503 From what I know he only used this solo through 'City Of Evil' and their self titled album... I think he doesn't to do solos now, well he didn't when I saw them in Birmingham from what I remember...

[IDanceTheZombieDance]

@minkylaughs i'm gonna see them live on this sunday. i'll get back to ya, and tell ya if he does play a solo. =]

[SynysterVengeance3]

@minkylaughs he dosn't do it it in every show... appantl, just the /big ones/.

[SynysterVengeance3]

@minkylaughs he dosn't do it it in every show... appantly, just the /big ones/.

[B4MyVALLENTINE]

@liss2503 didn't know he had haters :D

[bambamDT65]

I think I just learned how to spell win the correct way..something like..Synyster Gates.

[fr33z3r55]

RIP the rev

[AWcondom]

i had an eargasm when i herd this

[im1old1greg]

wow just because syn isnt considered to be better than the greatest guitarists of all time doesnt mean he sucks...u ppl that hate on him r dumb! because he definitely is a great guitarist!!

[isRoYabLe]

im one of syns best fans

but when i first heard this solo, i fell in love with him, and now he plays this in every live performance, thts the only thing thats buggnig

BUT SYN IS THE BEST !@!@!@!@

[XxXxEmoxXxX666]

awesome guitar solo

[antoine1994]

to be honest it was pretty boring and not that good. if ya wanna see a real guitar solo check out rusty cooley, Jari Maenpaa, Micheal Angelo Batio or Dimebag Darrell

[xdoningtonchick02x]

this is not boring and i think the fact that he can pull of a solo like that means that hes got skill

[antoine1994]

@xdoningtonchick02x i never said he hasn't got any skill, i'm just saying that his approach didn't appeal to me at all unlike the other guitarists that i've mentioned before

[paperkut69]

Dimebag is the king of guitar

[antoine1994]

fuck yea man, you got that right =D

[09wati90]

Go see SYU..He is good too..

[acerocks1995]

he is a guitar legend

[DjAthinoulinio]

absolutely GREATTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[WeastCoastSoldier]

SYN RULEZ

[blew909]

Hes the Van Halen of today

[bonestorm99]

Nah, Eddie taps way more syn does. Syn doesn't like tapping.

[eticom1]

In a video, SYN said that tapping was for fag

[Nithaldor]

true, syn more of a sweeper than a tapper

[greendayguitariest]

suxes

[avengedsoul]

comeing from the guy with the name greenday guitarist haha that funny

[Rebelscreed]

he sounds horrible, he mustve been drunk or stoned outa his mind, this was sad.

[Amuta007]

If you dont belive watch the SEIZE THE DAY solo :D

[Amuta007]

He is a God :D

[PRAIREDAWG69]

fuck i love this solo. sure the intro isn't like unbelievably fast or anything but its quality not quantity

[J5150C]

yawn...boring solo

Oh, did I mention it's a boring solo (if you can call that a solo).

Best if he sticks to 21's!

[andykray6661]

its not boring... doh u idiot i don't say u CAN'T play that but i am 200% sure that u can NOT make up something like that...retard fuck if u don't like it don't fucking listen to it

[AXLROSE4LYF]

boring bends and taps. doesnt evn sound good.

[Skate8782]

hes amazing. definatley not one of the best ever but still incredible

[gamercorey666]

He's fucking beastly!

[synfan66]

no one on the face of the earth is better then syn!!!!

[IbanezSAS36FM]

Petrucci would cream syn in his sleep!

[Toadoe7]

I agree

[synfan66]

his fingers say MARLBORO

[gamer3425]

Best guitarist of this generation period A7X FTW

[minivirus2]

His name is Alexi Laiho bud... And that's only of this current generation. Of the guitarists which are still playing, that would be Dave Mustaine. Gates=Good/Overrated. The whole video is mindless shred. Write something cohesive then get back to us all.

[HereticVampire666]

i was at that concert, fucking best solo of my life

[GUITAR2426]

dude can you tell me ...what tatoooo syn got on fingers??what it say?

[Angel200690]

i think it says born free...im not too sure....but im probably 80% right

[GLKjosh]

its a cigerate company that starts on one hand to the other
