& TWENTYFOURCORE Productions
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 🤘
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 😂🤣
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
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
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 :)
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
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..!!!
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
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
Gets a copyright strike for playing audio of Beast and the Harlot
Jake Strong lol, Article 13
for their own song
😂😂😂😂😂
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 😂
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
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 😂😂😂
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
"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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
"I'm a storyteller... I bring the Bob Dylan aspect to Avenged Sevenfold."
HAHA, love Syn and A7X, thanks for bringing back this series!!
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!
Yeah, just noticed the is part 1 of 3!!! 😯 Hope it gets released soon
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 😂😂
So no one gonna talk about zacky picking his nose and licking his finger😂
"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.
Okay, but can we just take a moment to appreciate how clean and precise the Rev's drumming is? Like wow
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
Would love to see a breakdown of Gunslinger 🙂
They should’ve brung the Rev back to life to breakdown this song
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
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
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.
All these breakdowns are awesome, thank you for doing these! 🤘
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
Wow i really admire how Syn can be so honest about the solo..
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.
¡¡BASTA!! LOS AMO DEMASIADO.
Hagan el álbum completo de City Of Evil
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
Give us breakdowns on STST and WTF bois.
Also, please upload the master files so they can be studied. I need to learn every note.
Yeah we need a breakdown on Turn The Other Way.
City of evil album
U don't need click the next song bcos all tracks is very good
Well... except The Wicked End
Yeah and the self titled album
zacky !!!! why you eat that ??? LOL see syn react is the best part
4:11 "SYN-copated"
Avenged Sevenfold We love you 'Jimmy' 🤘😢
-Thailand 🇹🇭
This will FOREVER hold such a big place in my heart! ♥
I tried to say a pun since a little pizza heaven but this is the perfect episode
What ingredients are used for pizza?
"Yeast and the garlic"
DewCranz1365 Lmao 😂 that was funny to me
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.
Aaaannnnddd he says nothing about jimmys drum solo?!?!?! Really?!?! That's one of the most apeshit sections Jimmy has and you say NOTHING?!?!?!?
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 TH-cam. City of Evil only has a few tracks sadly. The isolated tracks for songs that were in Rock Band are also available on TH-cam. 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!
They knew exactly what they were doing putting Syn on this one
sydneyster fates
Is there any video of Brooks auditioning for Avenged Sevenfold.??
Like the Dream Theater audition for new drummers??
I don't think there really was an "audition", Brooks was already in close contact with the band for like a year before Arin was sacked, and they already knew how competent he was.
The day I get to meet Brian, my life will be complete. Abslute beast, my greatest inspiration on guitar playing.
Wow you guys just relieved my guilt of splicing takes in the studio
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 😂
8:25 Looks like Zacky V. ate some mocus today xD
Damn right about the comparison with Hetfield's syncopated rhythms & vocals. Still get pissed when I mess up this song, lol
I don't understand what is so difficult about the riff, granted I haven't played it in many years, but it isn't syncopated like periphery, meshuggah, gojira etc. From memory it's just the same notes followed by a chord, eg
0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 0 6 0 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 0 3 5
with a slight change at the end so it can be looped again
Awesome breakdown of one of my favourite Avenged songs, can you do a breakdown of Save Me? Definitely an underrated masterpiece..
City of evil. Hands down my favorite song structures by them.
3:06 i like this part
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!!!
James Hetfield is the king of down picking but he's good at guitar
I often forget what brooks sounds like.
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 would love to see a breakdown of i won't see you tonight part 1
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.
Would love to see a breakdown of Radiant Eclipse. Seeing that I can rest in peace.
Brooks wearing the headphones and drumming at 9:11 looked just like Jimmy
Thank you so much! You guys are amazing! Greetings from Finland to everybody
Blinded in chains w/ Johnny plsssss
YES
8:49 the question
basically Brooks: "Well I just always thought like a sane person while I was writing in the studio." 🤣🤣
I would love to see a breakdown of Blinded in Chains, and especially Dancing Dead. That is one of my favorite songs that I don't hear many people talk about.
Blinded in chains was my first A7X song.
@@rustilldown7 Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005?
That's where I heard my first avenged sevenfold song. Blinded In Chains!
@@Darkhalo314 no my brother told me his friend listened to them and recommended that one.
Sidewinder is a underrated song with a good guitar solo
Syn hasn’t aged a day ! He actually looks younger !!!
Must be the hair, and the money. Both will make you look young lmao
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!
i really wish they would’ve went over the REALLLLLY high pitched Rev vocal harmony in the last chorus. it’s hectic haha.
Well, the beginning of the video did say "Pt 1 of 3", so I'd say there's still a pretty good chance of that happening.
Pretty sure that aint The Rev
that really high A5 is Matt
Such an amazing chemistry between you two
Gates: "when you, ...what's it called?"
me: "when you CHUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGG!!!"
Gates: "syncopated? syncopated!"
aww close enough
thank you! please make a video breakdown of Jimmy!!
"mindless arps" DUDE WTF ok so I know everyone is different but I can play the main riff EASILY and then that chorud is SUPER technical for me and I main lead but it's just so funny that the hard stuff for me is the easy thing for Syn and vise-versa with this song :) idk it was cool to think about and makes Bryan and Avenged just more relatable every time you hear stuff like this. Much love guys I hope you keep going strong! (P.S. I wanna give a small foREVer to honor Jimmy, but also Brooks was the right call. I saw Bad Religion when I went to see Rise Against and they blew me away and he continues to blow me away with a7x. Keep kicking ass guys! Much love for over 15 years hell yes.
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
Notice how they're avoiding anything from Nightmare. Why won't you show us Portnoy recording? 😭😭😭
These episodes are literally so awesome. Keep them coming
They used that melody for waking the fallen resurrected. I'm sure that's what was originated from and used it for beast and the harlot. Clever a7x. Always up to their tricks.
A fellow Solo Splicer i see:)
Bat Country
i love the ending Lead
I love you Avenged Sevenfold! 🤘❤😎 The Best Band what i hear in this World,I love Beast and The Harlot and Almost Easy 🤘 R.I.P Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan,The Best Drummer of All Time 😢😭
When will there be another album/ tour? Back when city of evil came out, I was initially pissed cause there wasn't gonna be any screaming like the first two albums. But the summer of '05, I was 19 and going through some shit, and, this album helped me a lot. Then went to show at Webster Hall (Webster Hell) on or around halloween in NYC and it is def top 3 of my all time favorite shows. But I haven't seen a7x since and, need to go, asap.
I would pay some good money to hear break down of St.James and Second Heartbeat and then also a little piece of heaven and lastly Welcome to the family
FINALLY!!!!!!! So happy you guys did that! I am the only one?!
City of Evil is my favorite album. Next u guys should Breakdown Blinded in Chains
I thought i saw The Rev at the thumbnail for a second...
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
#salve Avenged Sevenfold ✌
