You can tell that Brooks has immense respect for The Rev. It's absolutely incredible.
hey
What the rev did basically being homeless after high school, keeping touch with drumming and having passion, the fact he did most of the writing and back up vocals, and I mean the good back up vocals… is just god given talent
@@matthewroreilly hey
I would pay some good money to hear Save Me on this
Fuck yeah! Can't wait
Save me would need like 7 parts 😂
In my dreams, not sure if they'll do it
One the best and longest loved that song wish we could have heard rev play same me instead of Mike portnoy on nightmare album
Oh yeah dude! I can't fucking wait 🤘
I really like how Syn is honest about having trouble playing his own material back in the early days. Gives the rest of us hope
Then he comes out with the solo on nobody
this made me laugh XD so true @@mikehoncho2900
@@mikehoncho2900 🤣🔥🔥
@@mikehoncho2900i spread my ass cheeks on playgirl as mike honcho
love how honest syn is when he says that he used to have trouble playing solos back in 2004 its amazing to see how he progressed and how he got better at performing live..
agree
Yep. Humble as he is.
It's true, compare one of his live solos from like 2005 to one from today and listen to how much more clean he plays.
That's because Patron not feating them now
Yeah splicing is the metal community's version of cheating on your wife. It's the ultimate sin, but so many people do it, just hardly anyone dares admit it 😂🤣
Man, Syn really hasn't aged at all
He still looks like he’s in his 20s
He's debuffed, but by no means aged
vampire confirmed
Not Syn only, all of member to
Not Syn only, all of member too
The fact a great guitarist like Syn couldn't tell if his own riff was 8th or 16th notes just gave me so much self-esteem 😂😂😂
City of Evil was such an amazing record! I mean, every A7X one is, but City of Evil was really something crazy! Great episode!
My favorite record of the band! Drums, guitars, vocals, everything is so amazing there!
I feel that too!! The sound of this album was super crazy!!!!! I fucking love it. My favorite band ever, Avenged sevenfold!!!
JSkeleton I remember it losing almost their entire fan base but gaining all of Metallica and guns and roses fan base....
It was one of the first album I bought with my own money. I was about 10 years old. I still listen to it to this day.
@@chemical.christ The stage is their best record hands down
The Rev breakdown with Wackerman? I don't think I have seen this excited for anything ever.
Except that he didn't, lol. Unless this was just a preview...
@@AlexPastel At the start it says "Episode 7 pt 1 of 3" so it will come.
@@AlexPastel 2 hours
@@AlexPastel I'm talking about the tease they did at around 1:50 .
Rickard Thuresson but Brooke’s sucks ass
Damn Syn is so humble about his skills
Naman Singh
It’s hard not to be.
The world doesn’t see him when he practices things he’s not yet good at. They only see the things he’s already worked on.
It’s hard to be cocky when there are so many other players constantly innovating
Yeah. Pretty much all of them are. Uh, maybe zacky not so much. But I'd love to meet them all.
@@haxonut yeah, what I wouldn't give to meet them, they seem so nice
Would love to see a breakdown of Sidewinder.
O dude fuck yeah that would be awesome to hear
Up
Would love to see it live....
Right... papa gates has some guitar tracks in it..
Desmond Moeller
Hosted by Syn and Papa Gates
Brooks looks like that one child that never wanted to be involved in music but his parents wanted him to.
Why?
@@ShadowKiller571 I would think appearance and overall demeaner. Usually you can look at a person and tell that they're eithr really into that realm (arts type shit) or if you look like an accountant like Brook(e)s does.
Brilliant episode, thanks for bringing back the breakdown episodes, please do M.I.A next. I would love it if you start doing play through videos like the one you did for Bat Country. And, Brooks is right that is an amazing solo Syn!
hey
I love Brooks Wackerman, he is humble man❤
I have you seen the reading hate comments with them brooks just goes off and is probably the most vulgar out of them all
why is brian look like he was telling his father about a song that he made with the band😁😂
Her?
Azrul Biersack I think that was intentional lol
..What
His actual father is in there at 7:43 ;)
@@svartsjokolade oh yeah, i already know it, that's papa gates :)
I swear Syn could be Loki’s brother.
TheTrace008 like Alex Turner, Loki, and Jack White had a love child
But what is syn played Loki in a movie
@@annabethrosa9335 nop he looks like Loki xD
he already has one and he's called Thor
We NEED a breakdown of A Little Piece Of Heaven!
Yes😎
FOR SURE 😍😍😍😍
YES YES YES
now we talking
It's just gonna be a bunch of cool dudes in a room maniacally laughing their asses off lol
When I hear the band talk about the older albums like City or Evil and Waking the Fallen, I get the sense that they have no desire to go back to that era. I totally understand the evolution musicians go through, but it is bittersweet. I’m excited for the future of Avenged Sevenfold but at the same time I want to keep hearing music that sounds like those older records.
I honestly can't dig the most recent albumor even much of Hail to the King (except for like 2 songs).. Nightmare was really their last "good" one.
@Grandma to Oliver&Lila nah I'm only 21 and have been listening to them since I was 12, I love their older stuff so much. Also super nostalgic.
I don't know for me no A7X has had a sound that was reminiscent of a previous album. They always try new stuff while still being A7X. The only album that didn't feel A7X for me was Hail to the King as it was much more basic than their other creations and felt only like a tribute album to old metal bands. But it was still a new sound for them.
But I can't argue against City of Evil being one of their best together with the self-titled album.
They can't.
@Grandma to Oliver&Lila You mean to tell me The Stage sounds like Hail to the King?
HttK is straight-forward heavy metal and classical influence. The Stage is a musical masterpiece with all kinds of crazy different things from any album they've done.
I remember slaving away at my guitar to learn that solo long long ago and to hear this now is like a weight lifted off my shoulders!
Great episode. Just can't appreciate City of Evil enough.
Gimme "The Wicked End" pl0x
Blinded in Chains is the goat
That'd be great Breakdown material too. @Kyle Miller
Or Strength of The World, Sidewinder, Blinded in Chains, Betrayed, M.I.A
Lamar Ceosen Blinded in chains is amazing
fuck it just breakdown the whole album its too good not to
"I'm a storyteller... I bring the Bob Dylan aspect to Avenged Sevenfold."
HAHA, love Syn and A7X, thanks for bringing back this series!!
Okay, but can we just take a moment to appreciate how clean and precise the Rev's drumming is? Like wow
Holy shit. Matt's vocals + his harmonies at 6:10 made audibly gasp and raise my eyebrows lmao I've never really noticed them but God they're pretty
What about Trashed And Scattered, the song is super complex and all over the place.
all over the place? you mean *scattered*?
@@downwardtumble4451 buh dum tiss 😂
"I've learned to play this live"
Yeah so much so that you hate it now, syn 😂😂
while I can't even play it at home...
I wondered for so long why he hated the song. It's a weight off my shoulders to finally know. I'll sleep soundly tonight.
Kyle Knapp
A year late, but if I remember correctly. He hated playing it because he was co-leading on vocals and leading guitarist, and on live shows with how fast this song is must be hard to do but.
First song I ever heard by these guys from _Rock Band 3,_ I was immediately floored by Brian’s playing and Jimmy’s drum solo and Harlot still remains one of my favourite A7X songs
i did not thought that syn would breakdown his least favorite a7x song xD
They didn't do Strength of the World... I think that's his REAL "least favorite."
@@captainedscythe Did he say he doesn't like Strength of the World?
@@TaylorChristy Oh yes, definitely. Mostly he beats on the chorus section, but he's probably the reason they never play that one live (in fact, I'm not sure they EVER have)
@@captainedscythe They have.
Why is it his least favourite I've heard that he doesn't like it because he is glued to the mic
Brooks was like: "I don't know what to say, I wasn't there at that time, why am I here, I want to go home" the whole video.
Hahaha true! It would make more sense to have him on tracks from the stage were he was involved in the songwriting
UnIdiota Mas nope . He was taking mental notes when syn was doing jimmy’s breakdown.
I don't think that was his attitude... Even though he only came in on stage but he is part of the band. They could of said fuck you you're not gonna be here when we do this
UnIdiota Mas no I think he was very interested in it
That’s funny bro, looks like he’s got no personality either, I’m sure he’s cool though
Gets a copyright strike for playing audio of Beast and the Harlot
Jake Strong lol, Article 13
for their own song
😂😂😂😂😂
Next Second Heartbeat, Please !
Do You Agree?
Ohhhh Plzzzzzzz Fuuuuucccck Yeessssss
Yes, I do! Love that song!!!
Yesssss that would be amazing
HUDA TV YESSSSSS
ALL SONG IS YESS..!!!
"Crazy crazy drums" I could see the pain in his face saying it.
4:24 I knew he was gonna bring James into this... my thoughts exactly. I can't believe Syn was actually singing this song live.... Crazy. Chorus okay, but harmonizing in the verses too?? Sick.
I feel like syn is the kind of guy that doesn’t talk much but once he warms up to you he’s a great person to have a conversation with
Wow i really admire how Syn can be so honest about the solo..
i thought the scream in the beginning was a fry scream but its literally something anyone can do when their parents are sleeping in the other room without waking them up
All these breakdowns are awesome, thank you for doing these! 🤘
I love love love these. I grew up listening to these at like 5/6 time and now I’m a recording engineer , producer , and aspiring artist. Synyster was and still is one of my biggest inspirations. You guys forever rock , these are absolutely eye opening to see these sessions and know what’s shown! Stay rockin.
Yeah, just noticed the is part 1 of 3!!! 😯 Hope it gets released soon
Love all of the old video clips. These breakdowns are amazing!!! Keep them coming!!
Thanks for bringing this series back. :) Please, for myself and other aspiring musicians inspired by your band, keep these videos coming. These are extremely insightful in learning how to write and produce music.
i hope that one day they release the raw final mix of their albums, that would so cool to be able to sit down and either mix down their stuff in your own ears or even just mentally breakdown what’s going on behind the scenes. i know there’s an instrumental version of nightmare floating around, but to be able to have the final project files in wav format would be absolutely amazing. honestly this applies to all the bands i listen to, but definitely these guys! i’ve always wanted to be able to actually isolate certain components and be able to take in what’s actually going on, especially on solos and fills
There’s instrumental albums of Waking the Fallen, self-titled, and Nightmare. There’s a few instrumentals for City of Evil but these are pretty elusive. Listen to the isolated tracks from Rock Band that are available.
@@ExternusArmy where can i find any of this? I would love to listen to their raw tracks
JEOM 049, you can find all the instrumental albums on RUclips. City of Evil only has a few tracks sadly. The isolated tracks for songs that were in Rock Band are also available on RUclips. Just search up the song name you want followed by the track you want to hear (i.e., Nightmare guitar track) and it’ll show up if they’ve released it.
@@ExternusArmy thank you!
God Damn love these...for real! So cool to hear all the different elements broke down that you otherwise can't hear in the completed song. Keep em coming!!! ❤️🤘❤️ #foREVer
First song I got introduced to A7X way back when... childhood shit right here. Thanks for the content guys, really appreciate it.
Same. GH2. This song introduced me to A7X.
Finally Brooks! He's so quiet. I love it. Hope to see more of him.
Songs i'd like to see this season.
Sunny Disposition
Angels
The Wicked End
Blinded in Chains
MIA
Second Heartbeat
And acid rain*
@@lebvyh6859 they already did Acid Rain
Save me
Save me and warmness on the soul
@@frankallister5538 And Unholy Confessions
These episodes are literally so awesome. Keep them coming
Still my top A7X album. I love the vignette-like instrumentals and I always imagined being able to transpose this album into some type of theatrical rock opera.
Love the early access to this.
Cant wait for the next part of the breakdown for this.
More City of Evil and Waking the Fallen!
So we just not gonna talk about that Zacky picked his nose and ate it 😂😂❤️
Its funny because a second before i was picked my nose and then i saw zacky did it too lol
At what point ? How do you pick that out? Hehehehe!
8:23 😂😂
This will FOREVER hold such a big place in my heart! ♥
The day I get to meet Brian, my life will be complete. Abslute beast, my greatest inspiration on guitar playing.
We're incredibly privileged to have access to this kind of material from our fav band.
I was thinking in the guys of the 80's ... dude, these guys just listened to the songs and that's it.
We need to thank all of this
Hell yeah. As someone just getting into writing music, I LOOOVE these breakdown episodes. They are so helpful in learning how to arrange.
Absolutely love this song. The riffs and drums are amazing, and the singing? Five stars like always. Ya’ll did a great job on it.
Any chance on possibly making an episode of I wont see you tonight pt. 1
Yesss
Or just both parts in general. It might be a decent 15-20 minute video but would be nice.
@@ShrubPlays dude they could make it an hour long with 20 ads and I'd still watch it
YES
PLEAAAASE
Wow you guys just relieved my guilt of splicing takes in the studio
You guys have been my inspiration since I was in middle school. Crazy to think im 25 now and still always thought your writing method was flawless. And this series has gotten me inspired to hit the studio again 😎🤘 keep it real, boys
These uploads are fn wicked thanks guys appreciated , RIP REV , cheers to Avenged
Thank you so much! You guys are amazing! Greetings from Finland to everybody
They should’ve brung the Rev back to life to breakdown this song
It is so cool to get an insight to the writing and recording process of these amazing songs. Thanks for sharing
So weird but also refreshing and encouraging to hear syn talk about how he struggled to play his own parts back in the day.
Truly thank you. You have helped me like many others through I tough times. Please continue to grow and show us your unique talents. I have one band tattoo and that's the batwing. I don't regret it. Thank you for making me a better husband and father
i just love these, keep doing it please
I love these breakdowns, it's really interesting, keep doing more :)
Such a masterpiece. So awesome to watch them break it down.
So no one gonna talk about zacky picking his nose and licking his finger😂
Would love to see a breakdown of Gunslinger 🙂
FINALLY! WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! 🤘🏼
I could watch an hour of breakdown for this fantastic 5m 40s song. So much nuance and detail, every time I listen I hear something new.
Avenged Sevenfold We love you 'Jimmy' 🤘😢
-Thailand 🇹🇭
City of evil. Hands down my favorite song structures by them.
aw helllll yeah. been waiting for a breakdown for BOTH
Oh man, I love this series. Please never stop this one guys!
¡¡BASTA!! LOS AMO DEMASIADO.
Hagan el álbum completo de City Of Evil
Such an amazing chemistry between you two
Love these breakdowns 💯
i really appreciate the honesty with punching in parts of the solo, to hear sevenfold recorded like that makes me feel, i dont know, happy? Really brings things to a level playing field because though syn's talents are FAR beyond mine, when I would punch in certain technical riffs/leads part of me felt weird like "Im not good enough" while I though of myself as a decent player, when it came to recording I felt like I was a terrible player haha.
Though I'd practice it enough to pull it off live, it's just really cool to be able to hear this from syn himself. Absolutely love these breakdown episodes!
city of evil is my favorite album. i know others are more polished but i just love the insane song structures all perfectly backboned by my fav drummer
PLEASE FOR THE SWEETEST LOVE OF REV RELEASE THE JIMMY BREAKDOWN WITH BROOKS!!! TOO MUCH GENIALITY INTO ONE VIDEO!!!
If only the rev wasn't dead rest in peace my friend rest in peace
@@rize3168 kinda rude just to say it like that.
Its isn't rude how was that rude I said I wish he wasnt dead he was the greatest drummer like why would I disrespect a person that I deeply respect
for real, you guys were the one who led me into this kind of genre
I love how they're are breaking down the break downs! This is sick!
Ah thank you Brian for making me feel abit better about not being able to play most of his solos.
i know this song is not Syn favorite, but that guitar solo , is AMAZING , my favorite so far!
i love Avenged sevenfold but this song not my fav too😅
@@blackshadow8082 😅😅
I love that one too, it’s hella amazing.
Oh my God a Jimmy breakdown 😱 😱 I haven't been this excited in a while
i have watched this vid so many times i just love these vids
Awesome breakdown of one of my favourite Avenged songs, can you do a breakdown of Save Me? Definitely an underrated masterpiece..
City of Evil was their most musically elite album. Every instrument was at its best
This is my favorite video series. I wish you guys would make more.
This is really cool! Keep doing these!!!!
They knew exactly what they were doing putting Syn on this one
8:00 😂
I always knew that most syn's city of evil stuffs aren't really one take.
He wasn't sober enough to play clean 😂
I freaking love these Breakdown videos.
kudos to whoever is editing this, shit's beautiful n well made :)
City of Evil is such a masterpiece. Easily in my top 5 albums
Love this anything off city of evil or or nightmare wild lovvvve to see buried alive such a masterpiece much respect to all the guys so much talent and hard work put into each album !!! Much love guys
I love videos like these. Well done boys.
A million people are recommending SAVE ME! I'm one of those people. It is the best, and I mean THE BEST A7X song you guys have ever created! Now just get it over with and do Save Me!!!
Would love to see a breakdown of Radiant Eclipse. Seeing that I can rest in peace.
Love this stuff! The honesty is so nice for inspiring musicians. I do have a question when you do these things live do you generally have back tracks to make it sound more full?
I’m really glad these are back!! I’d love to see you guys tackle either Dear God or Tonight the World Dies
Brooks wearing the headphones and drumming at 9:11 looked just like Jimmy
