Synyster Gates' solo at Nokia Theater 4-16-09

[TreCoolsDominatedLS]

"As you can see, I've been abandoned."

[kittycatys101]

what exactly happened to the rest of the guys? did they just leave?

[drummerGlucose]

WOW I thoght this was recorded after the Rev died...but then as the drums started playing Icould immediatly tell it was the Rev playing. Such an amazing surprise!!! :)

He really has a special technique that makes him stand out from other drummers, really amazing..

[cntrollerfanboy]

I remember seeing this video somewhere else, but now i just realized this was on my birthday!!! haha

[LeftJackGuitar]

Anyone know the name of the effect he has on from about 4:45 - 5:56?

[Lordrazor14]

@LeftJackGuitar some type of chorus pedal, or flanger not sure but I think it's a chorus effect :)

[alfai01]

hes just playing, it doesn't even seem like a burden, like something that comes naturally, like brushing ur teeth, like he could do it in his sleep, hes not even paying attention, his mind is wandering or something... HOWWWWW???

[GINGERofDESTINY]

@alfai01 I can't brush my teeth in my sleep...

[alfai01]

@GINGERofDESTINY u should learn, it will simplify ur life :P

[tiffanyy410]

What's the name of the last song he played?

[valdernissen]

@tiffanyy410 Its his solo :)

[AA7able]

@TheBlackveilbrides98 nice you must be very lucky.

[Traxxaspimp]

Whoever the chick is thats talking and giggling in the background has the most irritating voice I have ever heard... refer to the family guy scene about dating a hot chick with a horrible laugh.

[talyluvable]

love ya synyster

[BLASKRAYNE828]

i love the solo that starts at 4;40

[SilversteinFan101]

4:42 to the end of the vid is genius

[GloriaVictoria13]

The solo from Girl I Know was awesome!! He's such an awesome guitarist

[jasvenegas3]

LOL was that the solo for Girl I Know?

[krazy4jeremy]

omfg this brings back memories to that day! <3

[LXme71]

Dude I love the third solo..

A7X foREVer.

[PharmacyBoardshop]

What was the third one from? I know I sound stupid but its fucking bugging me.

[mestgcspparka7x]

@PharmacyBoardshop it's very similar, if not the same as the main song in 28 days or 28 weeks later.

[SceneQueenx1]

such cute fingers

[DCT300]

i wish he had a more creative solo.. like his old solos. i mean yeah hes amazing. but still and i know yall agree.

[TheFlyCorn]

And I want to make a full song out of that last piece there... Beautiful

[TheFlyCorn]

Who else recognized the Dancing Dead solo piece in there?

[A7xLove95]

What Camera Are you Using?!

[NGT1296]

What a laugh!! hahahaha

[sarcu95]

wow both top comments are by someone named josh... my names josh... awesome

[SpaceDetergentPM]

Just witnessed Avenged Sevenfold jamming= awesomesauce!

[Buckwheat430]

I lost it when I saw how a certain top commenter spelled "heard".

[italiandude719]

@Buckwheat430 how did he spell it?

[ironbesterer]

@Buckwheat430 I heer ya.

[felphero]

jesus fucking christ he is starting to sound a bit like Jeff Loomis, and that's when you know shit just got real

[leaksmusic3]

@samy110 he's doing a guitar solo

[Samy110]

um, this might be a stupid question, but why is he on stage all alone? :D

[FTWavengedSevenfold]

I remember i went to this! he was rite in front of me in the girl i know solo

[dezerterone]

@FTWavengedSevenfold They did it on the stage? :O

[FTWavengedSevenfold]

[RisetheDead88]

[AndreeaRdzz]

<3

[saulvelazquez22]

[imagicool]

I love Syn's solo.... but wow! .... when the Rev joins in it's awesome!!

[SSiso1]

It's so fuckin cute how he holds the guitar pic. <3

[SchecterCal]

4:45-end. what song is that!?!?!?!?

[guitarman1091]

@SchecterCal unwind the chainsaw

[SchecterCal]

@guitarman1091 wow i thought that song was not A7x's. why they don't release it?

[guitarman1091]

@SchecterCal I'm not sure. I just know they play it live

[SchecterCal]

@guitarman1091 nice. alright then. thanks for the info man.

[QikeA7X]

@guitarman1091 hey men it's only the guitar solo, this song doesn't exist

[SynGatesZV]

Its so annoying that in every single vid of this solo uploaded on youtube there is always some smartass who have to put this comment "at ... he is playing the solo from girl i know" oh really?! ...

[bigrick04284]

@SynGatesZV ....he is playing the solo from girl i know

[IantoA7X]

the song at 2:33 is the solo from 'Girl I know'

[grondzelek2010]

a7x 4ever

[2808879]

can annyone tell me how does he make the note squeal at 0:18 without even pickin?

[DannyDesman]

@2808879 it's his neck pickup. it's actually a sustainer driver that has a harmony mode. check it out. it's called sustainiac

[2808879]

@DannyDesman thanx

[ItachiCat]

@2808879 Sustaniac stealth pro- infinite sustain with the option of instant harmonics. Look up the Schecter Synyster Custom-S

[2808879]

@ItachiCat thanx

[v4556]

улет

[bubblejaisi]

which song is 4:40 ...?

[QikeA7X]

@bubblejaisi it's only the guitar solo

[musiclover64491]

that laugh... wow |:

[megadeth1056]

I love it when synyster gates jerks his guitar off.

[slorr55]

last song?

[QikeA7X]

hey people, shut up! I'm listening the greatest synyster solo!!!

[Ultraxsiempre]

i find it so funny about all these gay ass conspiracies of jimmy's death. stop stipulating shit. YOU ALL KNOW NOTHING BUT WHAT WAS REPORTED so shut up. He technically didn't "write" the song 3 days before he died. He finished the demo 3 days before he died. if you all knew better than you'd know that fiction was actually an unfinished song that he started writing for pinkly smooth but never finished it. so that's where the 3days before he died comes from.

[pheonix3789]

I'm pretty sure the last song is called I wont see you tonight part 1

[uma7d]

The best fuicking drumer in this fuicking world. R.I.P the rev. we will miss you :'(

[jasoli52]

@uma7d I will DeathBat salute to that! ~foREVer~

[darkshadows1994]

they know he was going to die i believe becaus he had a like big hard and he was going to die a slow and painful dead and he diden want that so thats what the bromptail cocktil song is about he took 1

i belive dont get me wrong dono for sure y i dont think they know but they know it was soon

[jasoli52]

@darkshadows1994 Bromton Cocktail is how Jimmy felt. All he had in him was Oxycodon (for real medical issues) and alcohol, had he been a slammer, it would have been in the report. Yes! He and I believe they knew he was going to die, Jim knew he was NOT going to see 30 and they hid his illness from the fans very well. He DID NOT kill himself, he just got Lasic to fix his eyes, just bought a new car and was VERY excited about recording Nightmare, they were only two weeks away from final tracking.

[jasoli52]

Fiction, originally Death, was recorded three days before he died, that would be Christmas. Recording on Christmas, probably because Jimmy wanted to hear his album before he died. That is also most likely why Jimmy sounds drunk in it, HE PROBABLY WAS WASTED..... IT WAS CHRISTMAS!! He had TOO much to live for and knew he had limited time. get this suicide talk out of here!!!

[Bonusbananas311]

jimmy died right after this. its like syn played that sad eerie solo knowing he was going to die.

[niallc223]

anyone know what song they went into straight after that jam at the end? im curious =/

[inCYDable]

@Bonusbananas311 are you fucking serious? this was long before jimmy died and he did this solo for a long time before this too

[jasoli52]

@inCYDable I was at the Oakland show in 08 and wish we got the Unwind The Chainsaw solo set!!

[jasoli52]

@inCYDable sorry 09

[jasoli52]

@Bonusbananas311 He died 8 1/2 months after this, you crazy?

[Bonusbananas311]

he did do this at every concert on this tour. I remember him playing this in seattle and portland.

[Daddyzgirl72]

ONE MORE!!

[RipTheREV1981]

2:28 sounds like nightmare

[KellerDude4]

I love his classical feel. He's definitely got a lot of classical influence.

[H3lloSE]

This is nothing special lol... His other solos are 1000000000000000000000x better....and have 100000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000000000000x soul.

[Drumstix2813]

The solo is so powerful, it messed up my computer

[Timusguitar]

0:26 lmao "that's my man" classic!

[pet2unya]

One of my favorite parts is how he's not even looking at it or seeming like he's really paying attention. Like at 3:31. He's not even looking. He's just like "Oh, yeah, I'm a bad ass. You think I'm a bad ass, too? Well okay then. We all agree I'm a bad ass."

[PunkRockStarFilms]

wish he did tht at every concert

[Turtleman7007]

Guitar masturbation and meandering lol

[marbesto]

Girl I know, one of my favourites :)

[XxSmUrFiEgUrLxX]

Eargasm. Enough said

[anonymous2698]

synyster is one of the best guitarist ever, and that solo gave my what i like to call an eargasam

[sunshinejimmey]

you know... i'm able to play quite a lot of avenged sevenfold songs on my guitar and i'm thinking yeah im catching up to Gates, now he pulls a stunt like that and i feel shit

[joshmaday123]

[xPePoOy]

@joshmaday123 yeah lol :D it´s the ugliest laugh I´ve ever heard xD

[AvengedSyns]

Youre laugh sucks

[nayaracrisful]

[TheDamnedNation]

Cool!! zero dislikes

[7foldk]

i was there in the third row :) 

[LizXfoREVer]

{4:39-7:00} That should be a song. {:

[joshizarappa]

@LizXfoREVer it is a song, its called unwind the chainsaw

[LizXfoREVer]

@joshizarappa I meant like, official song. :o That song isn't official. :P

[joshizarappa]

@LizXfoREVer it will be someday :P

[therevdidntdeserveit]

he could play this solo ten times faster behind his back with his penis.

[Blinker968]

@therevdidntdeserveit i love your user name <3

[agva2010]

THAT FUCKING SUSTAINIAC AND THE SYN CUSTOM!! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! *jizz* **jizz** !!!!

[pinkcottoncandyrocks]

[1994YourNightmare]

i think my ears just had an orgasm.

[jacaria21]

I am completely and utterly in awe of Syn and Jimmy's incredible talent! Syn's guitar playing is astounding and Jimmy killed those drums!!!

[aleksander123aab]

/watch?v=Cdjrgwmi7xI&feature=c­hannel_video_title

[KattySciuridae]

the last part was so fucking amazing

[666muzze]

Syn is so amazing!! how is it possible to be so amazing??

[fspopshovit]

Am I the only one who thinks they should make a song with the part he did at 4:40? How awesome would that be? :D

[fspopshovit]

Girl I Know solo? :D

[Joker2899]

I was there!!

[jujubfreed15]

yeeaahhhh

[jamil937x]

[officialfallenlegacy]

@jamil937x you missed by like 20 seconds...

[qtpie4ev759]

0 dislikes is how it should be

[Canadianbacon967]

This is the last time I saw Jimmy Alive ;_;

[TheTylerw2011]

00:28 seconds "thats iron maiden' wtf? bitch no it isnt! its synyster muther fuckin gates!!!

[TebowisJesus15]

he is the best in the music biz RIGHT NOW, no other guitarists around are more gifted than him, him and zacky made me want to pick up a guitar again after months and months of quiting.

[ritznbitzgaming]

at 4:45 is that a song? because if it isn't, it should be made in to one. ASAP. Shit's ridiculously good. and catchy.

[SuperChamona]

@ritznbitzgaming I like it better as a live solo.. They have many songs as it is, and it's only one of very few other solos he has for himself.

[KG5339]

@ritznbitzgaming i actually think it might be like an altered thing of The Wicked End i mean its kinda similar

[millionthmassacre]

@ritznbitzgaming unwind the chainsaw

[mAjOrOkEr]

que pinche solo tan mas buenoo!!!

[MrNeildeal]

Fuckin LOVE Syn u fukin rule.....

[smilerdude]

Anyone notice the second lot is mostly from Diamonds in the Rough? Clearly I'm not the only one who thought those solos are too good to waste!

[YourMusicEntertains]

[heloisadell]

[seneli]

This was amazing!! and I was wondering.. so is Syn really married? I've heard that he is but then i read other things that says he just has a girlfriend...

[crazyotaku100]

[seneli]

[kikospk]

[EdwardJamesInes]

[GironJaden]

hes fast as hell

[MrSlainAngel]

they're all the best musicians on the planet in my opinion, and always will be, you can say a few others are more technical or that kinda bullshit but these guys play with the most feel, emotion and raw power, nothing tops them!

[TheRanadia]

is the solo from 4.47 is from an original song?can somone help me?i rely need the mp3..

[EternalEclipseBand]

@TheRanadia

It's is not an original song. It's Syn's solo he played on the 2009 tour :-)

[MJFAN96able]

it's perfect :) 

[inuluva27]

"your recording!" "not im not!" lmafo

[hooplaKID]
