Well he certainly wasn't bad during his time in a7x. Good luck to his future.
I feel like they aren't going to be satisfied with any drummer they get because no one they get will be Jimmy. The last time I saw them live the cameras focused on anything and everything except the drummer.
I sent to 3 shows with Arin including his last I one, the cameras spotlighted him A lot and he's was having a great time
He wanted to take a7x in a different direction, mike portnoy was just a fill inn. So hopefully Brook is the man its nothing about a7x not feeling the drummer.
framar601 brooks is perfect
I think Brooks will be the drummer they stay with. In comparison to Hail To The King you can tell they are now writing stuff they are proud of. The Stage is a testament to that.
listen to the drums on The Stage then reconsider
Arin was a monster. Wasn't no rev but the rev was on another lever
The rev was a beast
the rev cannot ever be replaced he was the best in the buisness when it came to a7x
Mike Dolbe Arin was ass
@@americanmetalhead7318 How so?
BasedRogue did you listen to HTTK? I know that’s what A7X wanted, but holy shit, his drums sounded like shit as did his playing.
I'd pay to hear that phone call
Can't help it when two people don't get along. I think it was the right move if they couldn't work together comfortably. Kinda sad to see him go though :/
Her lipstick game is strong asf
It's gross
Brooks is the right man it's sad for arin but it had to be done
4 years later and this comment even more accurate, the stage was awesome and very creative, Brooks is a flat out better drummer than Arin and he fits super well personality wise and creatively with the guys. The drums on the stage were off the charts, Brooks also just said he just finished recording the drums for the next album so I can’t wait to hear it. Nothing against Arin but he just wasn’t the right fit for the band while Brooks is.
Poor Arin
He was fired after the WI show and the band knew before the show he was done. Matt made the decision and Syn made the call. Sad
It was the right decision, Brooks is a much better fit creatively and personality wise. No reason to be sad for Arin, he got to tour around the world and make good money with one of the biggest metal bands out there. At the end of the day he just wasn’t the right fit, luckily for the band Brooks is the right fit.
I'm really excited for the new A7X. Finally time to go back to themselves. Considering HTTK was basically a tribute album if anything.
One of the best things about A7X is how they constantly change up their style. I'm really excited for the new album as well, the sneak peek they gave us seemed very promising.
How was it a "tribute" album?
Brett Davis It was in the style of old fashioned hard rock. Kinda like Mettallica. Thats mostly what they call it in interviews.
I think they should keep that Old School Style.
It makes them appear more serious
HTTK was their heaviest album since...what, Waking the Fallen? Probably their heaviest YET. It's not that they're not making good songs, which they do, it's just that they don't sound interesting (heavy) as a metal band.
I think Portnoy was the best drummer since Jimmy. If they can get him back, that would be amazing
Well Portnoy had a lot of experience. He even wanted to become full member. But Avenged said they couldn't make someone they looked up to as a full member and still be Avenged
No they didn't. He was only accepted as the touring drummer. After the tour he left and they started looking for another drummer.
He didnt left. Avenged Sevenfold left him.....
Probably not, since he was just a fill-in.
Brooks is VERY good as well and more versatile. I just miss The Rev…
Honestly, I felt so bad for Arin after reading his reaction. To just be told you’re being fired right on the spot with no details his heartbreaking, even more so that he was out in a position of not being able to support his family when his wife was about to have a child. On the other hand, I’m proud of what he had down with A7X. They wanted him to create his own legacy with the band and he did just that. Hopefully he’s having success wherever he is now.
Well if syn had a decent reason and didn't just go "you're fired" then fine but arin wasn't bad, he was held back with the whole 'old school' thing in httk but still changed it up as much as he could.. Idk. If someone can explain this or tell me i'm wrong about arin's drumming please do
Avenged Sevenfold still hasn't said why he was fired so we still need their side to know the whole truth.
Larz Do you have a link or anything now I'm curious
+Larz Thx
+Larz well on the avenged sevenfold site, it said something about not enough creativity but who knows
Arin is a good drummer but just did not fit well creatively or personality wise with the band. This was a move that needed to be done for the sake of the band. Brooks brought a ton of creativity to the band and the stage was fresh and a great rebound album for them. I think after Jimmy left they were kind of lost as a band and needed a spark creatively which Arin just didn’t bring.Nothing against Arin he’s a good drummer but they just flat out upgraded by getting Brooks and it seems they all get along super well which is great to see. Brooks also just finished recording the drums for their next album.
Wish it could have been Joey Jordison
He's still recovering from his illness
+David Alarcón no he's not.
+John Ritchie k
no
Could have been sicker than fuck. Joey is the hardest drummer around besides Dave Grohl...
Wow.. that was a paid promo.
I thought he was the one that decided to leave in the first place ???
I love this band. But, when they "kicked out" Arin, somehow I felt there is no something special anymore even it's been years
love avenged sevenfold
I would assume that the band members got paid a lot of money, Arin included.
When are these guys releasing new stuff?
Both bands are releasing albums this year.
He ain't in Islander anymore 😔. Haven't seen him since. I hope he's okay.
I hope so too. According to something I read, he’s doing gigs in SC.
@@JZJ7777 What or who is SC?
@@ZoeyHope South Carolina. I’m sorry, but I thought that would be obvious, since NC is short for North Carolina. I actually thought you would’ve asked where is SC, since it wouldn’t make sense to do gigs in something or someone.
there is def more to the story i mean he must have fucked up someway no one is let go for no reason at all
Suuposedly he got pissed off about the song "St. James". He felt like if they were gonna make him an official member of the band that they should stop writing songs about The Rev and making him record the drums for them b/c he felt like he was never truly going to be a part of the band. Idk, it's all weird. A7X tend to keep a lot of things under wraps because they don't like drama.
+CarelessWhispers ASMR woah man where'd you hear that
Friend of mine from Cali who works the drum tech circuit
+CarelessWhispers ASMR if that is the case then I can definitely see both sides. It's hard to fill such big shoes and be stuck in someone's shadow, but at the same time they should be able to pay respect to their lifelong friend.
Hey Toot, Have you ever been in a band?? Musicians are the most Fickle, Pretentious, and self centered people on the planet...Trust me, You can EASILY get kicked out of any band for doing nothing at all but your job...Hell ,sometimes even working TOO hard can get you booted (nobody likes a guy that works hard these days...especially ego-maniacs LOL)
Everybody is focusing on Hail to the King drumstile... however, no one gets to think that if Arin could't play Mike's and Rev's parts with ease, he wouldn't be in the band in the first place. After Portnoy and Nightmare, AX7 could choose whoever they wanted and they wanted Arin.
I thought they'd already been working with brooks before they let arin go?
Yup
+Josh Lukowicz so surely it wasn't a shock?
unless he means the point when they initially told him what was going to happen
+ThunderHawk606 they were working with Brooks wackerman for about a year in secret, and when it was time to kick things off with Brooks, they broke the news to arin in that way, he was unaware.
+nathan saldana ouchhhhh
+ThunderHawk606 yeah I know 😁, but Brooks is a super cool guy, I think he will bring a lot to the table for avenged.
SHOOT his name is escaping me atm but I thought the Nightmare drummer was their best drummer. Jimmy was a better band member, because he wrote and sang, and was AWESOME but drumming wise alone nightmare had the most amazing drums ever. Hail to the king had pretty boring drums. Sick album, though
Lukas Montgomery I forgot where I saw it, but Arin spoke on how he had tried to crazy things, but the band basically just said no, because they wanted it done the way it was.
Yea, I've heard that as well, and he did great on Carry On. I just don't think he fit the bands style as well, as a member
Lukas Montgomery Yeah idk He just grew on me, you know? Sad to see him go.
I was never really for or against him, I just like brooks better :)
you mean Mike Portnoy?
the fired him over the phone?!?!? that's fucked up, also he played hundreds of shows to crowds that were around at least 10,000 people on average if not more, they sold out wembley stadium with is 65,000 people, so even if he didn't get royalties from HTTK, which he should have, because he had been a member for over almost 3 years by the time that album came out, he still should've made at least close to a million dollars in his 3.5 years of touring regularly with them, so why the fuck would he be worried about supporting his family?
fui no show com o Arin e foi do caralho, sdds
Arin was a great drummer in A7X... Let's admit it after Jimmy's death.. Brooks is great.. no hate... But I just miss Arin in A7X... Hope his new band will succeed too
Brooks is way better. Great decision for the people at a7x
They did what had to be done. Arin wasn't suitable for the band. I like brooks tho, his work on the stage is fantastic. besides he's been in this game the longest and pretty sure he's a lot more experienced i mean definitely
That's was a great way to make me click on this! Just a damn advert
I thought Arin made his own choice by going out of the band. Or am i wrong?
That's what I thought too but I guess not.
Nope, they parted ways due to creative differences due to a generational age gap and him just not fitting in. He didn’t help them in songwriting, he just did the drums for them. He was amazing, but not being cooperative in the band’s work isn’t going to work out.
Slipknot's Not The Only Band That Kicked Out A Member Avenged Sevenfold Kicked Out Their Drummer Arin Ilegay
Slipknot thought Joey was on drugs, when he wasn’t. RIP Joey Jordison.
He’s a great drummer
About time they released at least something. Arin is an ok drummer, and yes I have seen him live I still wasn't impressed and this coming from a 15 year drummer with 2 masters and a PHD in percussion, advanced percussion, and musical theory , but he was never fit to temp in Avenged, I feel that decision was made out of the after thoughts from a 2 year alcohol fueled bender of trying to figure out why Jimmy passed over the "official" release of his death. I've followed Avenged since before they were sign before they had Hopeless Records, I even still have a few for the singles the released at gigs and still love them as much as the day I first heard them, BUT Arin wasn't bad but dude needed to go back and relearn how to use a hi hat (see album Hail To The King not my favorite but its ok). Now I'll just wait for someone or a group of people whom think they know anything, or better yet a musical challenge, reply to this. I'm not one for it because after all ITS THE INTERNET AND THIS IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION if you don't like it go cry about it. *waits*
Not to be an ass or anything but from watching your "Some fun on drums" video I can tell that you haven't been playing drums for 15 years. I can play those things you play and I don't even own a drumkit. Stop acting like like a "PROFESSIONAL" you just make a fool out of yourself. Peace out.
Jona Muldin Lindström 1. That was my cousin and that video is old. 2. Nice try. 3. Not really.
+Tan yeah that's the highest it goes, call me Dr. Skins.
+Tan you need at least a masters in percussion and someone with a masters in business to open a studio and I have both, it didn't last longer than 2 months I chose a bad place to open it, but I'm glad I did it. They also help me jam with other artists whom I will not be mentioning.
Jimmy Blues Why does it say "Me playing random songs" and not "My cousin playing random songs".You are sure that's not your twin brother? You look identical. Is it your cousin in all the guitar vids to? It was 1 year ago, the video is not old. I have a hard time thinking you got 14 years of drum experience and a "PHD in percussion" in 1 year if that even exist.
I'm happy for him
A phone call???? Lmfao how unprofessional from a such a high profiled band. Im not gonna lie that makes me lose a lot of respect for all those cowards.
For everyone who is calling arin a shit drummer go and listen to darkness and bad guy by islander and try to tell me he is shit. I love a7x but it's their fault he played simple so get your facts straight before you call someone shit js
Wait until you've been to a live show and he's fucking up the shit that HE WROTE, trust me it's not pretty
+DGAF_AK87 I've watched live shows he rarely messed anything up you guys are to hard on the guy just because he's not the Rev
I saw them in Cincinnati, OH on October 6, 2013. The show was absolutely incredible, and it was my first concert. Arin did perfect on every song, even when they played "Chapter Four" for the encore.
Noah Said
Are you sure, when you fuck up HTTK at Carolina Rebellion, you've kinda fucked up a bit. 2014 was the year I saw them he's also a huge douche in person
I’ve listened to Hail to the King and Shepherd of Fire and he’s a great drummer in both, especially the latter. He might’ve turned things around for the band, but who knows.
dude....
girl that shirt looks dynamite on you.
Damn, that avenged band is still around? Thought they died out after that one album in 04-05, all the fucking jocks were playing that shitty album.
They are just a headlining act in almost every country that they tour.
Toni is lowkey hot
Lol ikr
Lowkey? More like a siren xD
yuhp
I mean, Brooks might be the good drummer , but he doesnt have the spirit and wildness as The Rev or Arin had !! or even Portnoy....... Brooks is just sitting and drumming, those 3 guys before him were passionate, and drumming like it was their last show of their life every time....
Brooks might not headbang as much as Arin or seem as energetic as Jimmy but he also gives everything when on stage. I personally love watching him play difficult material while remaining so calm, it feels so charismatic in its own way.
Islander > Avenged
Anyone remember this? That's Avenged Sevenfold's new drummer😁
ruclips.net/video/yfzFxxJBJ8E/видео.html
And yes that's the kid from Salute Your Shorts.
Toni is pretty, Pretty hot
Avenged Sevenfold died when Mike Portnoy left after nightmare and when they thought it was cool to copy Metallica with "Hail to the king" they can use any drummer and A7X will never be the same.
It was 1 album. You can't say they've completely changed with only a few songs to back you up.
I just hope they go back to their old school metalcore sound ..
Yeah, they never be the same, things change..
Anyway, the new album is coming soon, I hope they found the real themselves! :) (sorry for my english xd)
A7x died when The rev die
I don't think A7x died, just because they got a "worse" album then the oldschool.
This is my opinion.
foREVer ♡
a7x went down the crapper. arin was a great drummer
They didn’t go down the crapper at all, the stage was a great album and extremely creative. Arin is a good drummer but Brooks is a better drummer and creatively and personality wise he fits in the the guys way better. They 100% made the right decision moving on from Arin, they had to do it for the sake of the band.
Wait, people still listen to A7X?
Yep
Yea, obviously. I don’t think they would continue making new songs if they didn’t.
