Make it happen~ Steve got Shadows' attention from the audience, and wouldn't take no for an answer. Sadly, he didn't hang with them afterwards. He got hugs from the band before they led him off the side exit. Still, it was an incredible experience!
I'm glad your son enjoyed Larry. I've been taken Stephen to concerts since he was 8, and as he's leaving for college this fall this was probably our last one together. Definitely a nice way to go out.....
gotta love the internet warriors killin' this kid for "mistakes" He nailed it, stayed composed, and just played live with A7X. What'd you do? Jamming in your room is a hell of a lot different than this. Most of us would be sweating and shaking so hard, you'd drop the pick on first riff. Props.
Who are the 18 assholes who disliked this video??? How miserable they must be in life. The kids knocked it out of the park over the center field fence and the ball is still going! A7X showed what a class act they are. They're one of the few bands that really show appreciation to their fans.
SO TRUE!! AND EVEN IF THEY KNOW THEY'RE NOT SO SOLD HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES (WHICH IS FUCKING SAD CAUSE I'M A DIE HARD FAN AS WELL AS MY BAND) .. THEY STILL WENT HERE AND GAVE THEIR FANS AN UNFORGETTABLE SHOW.. THEY'RE MY HEROES!!
He killed it! The nerves must have been insane way to go!! I also love Syn is laying there then he’s like “Fuck gotta go sing aaaand back to laying down oh sweet sweet sleep”
im surprised he did that good without montiors when the head phones fell. it was hot there when the pyros went off his back probably felt like it was melting lol
I knew he was in a little trouble when he lost the headphones, all he could hear was himself. Even though I'm biased (as his dad)... he still did really well, was just a half step off key during his lead with Zacky.... but his harmonics were flawless!
Robert Blackman did he get any special treatment after the show did he get to hang with the guys or anything and did he get to keep syns guitar i was there but obviously they dont tell you any of this stuff lol
Shatterskin Gaming and he did great honestly i didnt expect him to do that well but he really blew me away he was great didnt expect it at all. hes a lucky man
Shatterskin Gaming A lot of people have been asking that! Unfortunately not, it would've been nice if they'd given him even a backup guitar, but it didn't happen. He does have the pic that he played with, and he'll never forget the experience, so it's all good!
LUCKY!! i had a sign that said it's my dream to play this means war on rhythm guitar and i was in the front of the crowd......fucking security told me to put my sign down -_-
Tyler Lees its funny you say that. i was a security guard at that show and i am a metalhead and was enjoying the show but everyone was talking shit to me just cuz its my job to uphold the rules, for example, to stop people from smoking inside. its just called doing my job and when i have 2 jobs trying to pay for an apartment i have no choice.
Damn that must be awesome for Synyster Gates, haha. Just kicking back on the stairs and listening between the fire and a fan performing an arrangement in which he wrote. He must be listening to the notation. To see how, if at all, the song impacted the life of this young musician on stage. Or maybe that's just me and my memories of how "Waking The Fallen" has impacted me.
Doktor Baum The first three albums, in my opinion, are the best things they have ever done and most likely ever will do. They write off "Sounding the Seventh Trumpet" because they think that they're above it, but really, the music on that album is so much more adventurous in terms of songwriting than what they've been doing for the last three records. I know they've honed their craft, slowed everything down, opened it up, and tightened their focus, but honestly it's time for another album of eight minute songs consisting of multiple bridges, guitar leads, harmonies, etc. I still find things to love about "Waking the Fallen" and "City of Evil" almost ten years later. Can't say the same for the self-titled on... although I thought "Hail to the King" was a solid record, as dry as it is.
"Yo Gates, you're fired."
SpesMorte hahaha lol
moral of the concert: backing vocals are much more important than relaxing...
Hahahahahaha
Thanks for posting, Steve is my son, he had the time of his life
You're welcome! He did awesome up there. Definitely a night to remember for you guys!
your son is awesome !!
DANIEL.T Thanks Dan. What an amazing experience for both of us!
Make it happen~ Steve got Shadows' attention from the audience, and wouldn't take no for an answer. Sadly, he didn't hang with them afterwards. He got hugs from the band before they led him off the side exit. Still, it was an incredible experience!
Thank you, I will!
Love how synyster just lays there
Great band alert!! Really that seems so nice to come across a band such as this!
*watch?v=ywhvj7UaDHo*
Yup, that's impressive!
Visit the video URL
When his headphones fell off you just knew that he was thinking "Fuck it"
+ThatGamerGirl2002 HAhaha! Exactly!
"should i just pull a cover band out of the audience"
am i the only one who wants to see that?
Mateo and this guy should be there😂😂
Friend: so what did you do this weekend
Steve: nothing 😎
r_TbHOP_r
"Steve from Philly" 😂😂😂
synyster laying down be like "oh shit i forgot to sing" 😂
😂😂😂 that right
I'm glad your son enjoyed Larry. I've been taken Stephen to concerts since he was 8, and as he's leaving for college this fall this was probably our last one together. Definitely a nice way to go out.....
all hail Steve from Philly
Thundercats Paintball Hail to the Steve!
I have to tell you, your son is a beast
+Thundercats Paintball
PA represent
holy sh.. the feels man bless your and your family
* While holding syns guitar* "...so do I get to keep this..?" XD
That is straight up me lmao

Riding9ines exactly! he wasn't a bit nervous! so calm and composed
Also, he lost the headphone with the audio return. You're right, he nailed it
This was awesome. I was there. This kid nailed it.
i love these guys even more. Giving fans the chance to live their dream is just so awesome!
damn it doesn't matter how many times I listen to that riff it will never get old and ive been listening to it since 2004
Im 32 years old now and have loved this band since I was 14 in 2002 and I always will because of the Down To Earth men they are

That's pretty cool! I hope he didn't get deaf because of the falling headphones though.
His ears were ringing pretty good, but the headphones were so he could hear the rest of the band.... which he couldn't!
I can't be the only one who thought of the WWF during the Attitude Era when I read "Steve Blackman"
yeah me to....
i was played WWF in PS 1 when im elementary
Yes
Lethal weapon
anyone else cracking up at Gates just nonchalantly just lying back with his drink lol
i seem to hear matt say gates you're fired 4:10
Chi-Yen Hung hahahaha
i love the way Gates is just laying there aw 😂💖
Omg i love syn haha he just lays down
lol XD i love how synyster gates is laying down
...and get up to sing his parts
lol true but he was just chilling no joke XD
STEEEEVEEEE! That show was awesome, it was so surreal being there.
He killed it! The nerves must have been insane way to go!! I also love Syn is laying there then he’s like “Fuck gotta go sing aaaand back to laying down oh sweet sweet sleep”
That's so cool. I love how Syn is just chilling on the stairs. Lmao XD
he's just like "f*ck this, i'm tired"
Ikr haha xD Henry
Probosquadhenry he was probably also bombed
this is so old but God damn Steve from Philly makes my day every time I watch it
i love how they allowed him to play together with them :)
im surprised he did that good without montiors when the head phones fell. it was hot there when the pyros went off his back probably felt like it was melting lol
I knew he was in a little trouble when he lost the headphones, all he could hear was himself. Even though I'm biased (as his dad)... he still did really well, was just a half step off key during his lead with Zacky.... but his harmonics were flawless!
Damn, what a great job. He killed it. A7X forever man, such an awesome band.
there goes his hearing RIP steve
4:11 gates you are fired LOL
I was there. He killed it!
A7x is my favorite band of all time I have been a fan of them since 09
Fun fact: The papers on the tables in the front of the stage are all of the lyrics, incase matt forgets the lyrics
+Jason Dena Really? i didn't even noticed there's papers there XD
How do you know? And how can it be all the songs?
HazardGamingHG it is the lyrics, Matt uses a teleprompter now
Steve did a kick ass job! This show was f'in awesome!! Love them and thanks for sharing the video.
Gates is just like: Na I'm not gonna play just let me chill here and enjoy my beer
Then, : oh shit my backing vocal
This makes me happy watching this. Another reason why to love a7x
I witnessed this as well and he was pretty awesome.
This is one of those moments when you can put a big ole check in the box for life achievements.
Dude went out there and KILLED IT!
I was there ! miss it and steve killed it !
Great job Steve! You'll probably never read this, so not sure why I (Or anyone else here, for that matter) is posting this, but oh well, good job.
Thank you, I'm Steve's dad. The outpouring of love has been amazing
Robert Blackman did he get any special treatment after the show did he get to hang with the guys or anything and did he get to keep syns guitar i was there but obviously they dont tell you any of this stuff lol
Shatterskin Gaming and he did great honestly i didnt expect him to do that well but he really blew me away he was great didnt expect it at all. hes a lucky man

did he get to hangout with them at all after the show at least
Wow. This is quite fantastic.
LUCKY!! i had a sign that said it's my dream to play this means war on rhythm guitar and i was in the front of the crowd......fucking security told me to put my sign down -_-
"FUCK THE YELLOW SHIRTS"
EXACTLY!
Tyler Lees its funny you say that. i was a security guard at that show and i am a metalhead and was enjoying the show but everyone was talking shit to me just cuz its my job to uphold the rules, for example, to stop people from smoking inside. its just called doing my job and when i have 2 jobs trying to pay for an apartment i have no choice.
Derrick Hiester i said it because thats what the crowd was saying and then matt said "WOOOOOOO" and well you know the rest you were there
no i wasn't not at this one haha i was at the carolina rebellion concert
Funny, I saw them in concert only2 days after this! Amazing.
This guy is so lucky!!!
Damn that must be awesome for Synyster Gates, haha. Just kicking back on the stairs and listening between the fire and a fan performing an arrangement in which he wrote.
He must be listening to the notation. To see how, if at all, the song impacted the life of this young musician on stage. Or maybe that's just me and my memories of how "Waking The Fallen" has impacted me.
I only missed matteo from LBC singing while steve is on guitar
Matteo is a paid actor guy😁
Gates still wants to sing partly even tho he looks really tired
I was there at the same place but other side! Great Concert!!
"Gates you're fired"
LOL!!!!

Syn is just sleeping in the back
I dream of playing the drums at art of subconsious illusions
I'd love to hear songs like that again live... Sadly, chances are looking pretty slim :(
Tom Whaley
Me too but I think they don't wanna anymore..for whatever reason :((
Btw art of subconsious illusions is my favorite song ever!

Tom Whaley
I've got nothing more to say but you're so right!!
Damn Gates got few minutes break without pay cutoff.
whyyy that lucky sun'f'uh!!! 😱😲
Amazing
And that very night. Steve got every chick’s number in the crowd at that show.
2:44 R.I.P headphone
