ThisIsMyName I think brooks is a better drummer then the rev imo, he’s way more experienced and he’s just better overall imo, not disrespect to you or the rev at all I love the rev he’s a god
It’s crazy how much Brooks has done over the years and how many bands he’s been with. Hopefully Avenged is the last step for him. But he’s so cool and humble. I got to meet him and the rest of the band in 2017 and everybody was so nice to me and the others in the room
@@georgeramos2176 he’s a workhorse, dude kicks total ass. He just finished laying down drums for their new album as well, I’m so excited to hear where they take their sound overall and the drums.
Another reason why I love these guys; They’re badass musicians but they’re also like your cool older brothers that you want to hang out with (or cool dad, in the case of Brooks)
Brooks is probably my favorite drummer out there. Jimmy was one of the best drummers in the world. I’m happy to see that there’s someone in the world who’s able to live up to what The Rev was.
Brooks seems like more of the intellectual /reserved type. From my experience, these types of people don't go out of their way to seek pleasure from substances.
Brooks has so much class and politeness and I love it. He’s such an awesome drummer and a perfect fit. After listening to a few songs from The Stage, including Paradigm, God Damn, and of course The Stage, I can definitely confirm he’s just right. Love that Johnny has a cocktail named after him. You guys rock! Has anyone noticed that Brooks doesn’t have any tattoos on his arms?
Brooks Wackerman is the reason Bad Religion stayed great. The Process of Belief is one of their best records and the other 6 he did with them were all awesome.
Another awesome episode!! I Love hearing the back stories to all the bands, A7X, Brooks music career, memory lane. The Accountant thing lol!! But it's true lol!! I Like what you did with the shirts LOL!! When you switched for Q&A from Black and White Pineapples and Hawaiian shirt matching the drinks, theme to cheeseburgers and pink with black pineapples I choked on my drink then Lmao!! picturing Zacky throwing Cheeseburgers into your, Johnny's ass crack on the plan got me 😂😂💀💀☠☠ Thank you for making the show, series, all the laughs. I needed this today!!Please keep the episodes coming!! They Rock🤟 You Rock🤟 #drinkswithjohnny #johnnychrist #brookswackerman #thewackerman #drummer #avengedsevenfold
My bass players father just met Brooks at an exclusive show a few weeks ago, and they were ironically staying in the same hotel, they got to talking with him about our band youth gone wild. Best thing I remember him saying was "they must love skidrow" lmao
There all uploaded on a channel called Zamiel (i cant remember the channel name but i think thats what its called.) Sounding The Seventh Trumpets my favorite album tho
They’re not. It’s not allowed on TH-cam unofficial because of copyright. I even tried uploading it myself and it was removed due to copyright immediately.
@@therealeverlade oh you're right. I mean I knew they werent allowed unlesa you gave credit where it was dueb but a bunch of videos just got removed and the videos had been up for years until last week.
HELLO FROM NEW ENGLAND...LOVE THE SHOW AND BROOKS IS THE MOST MELLO DUDE, AND THE CLOSET THING IN SPIRIT AND PLAYING ABILITY TO THE REV THE FANS AND BAND CAN ASK FOR...KEEP UP THE GREAT MUSIC, FELLOWS...PEACE FROM THE NORTHEAST...
He’s a really good guy. His wife is my daughter in laws cousin. I’ve actually not met him but he knows my son well. I’ve met his wife and sons though. He’s a great drummer. His dad taught music at a high school about 3 miles from me.
dude wtf.. incredible how brooks seems to have been born around famous and big people. i mean, produced by steve vai and signed by interscope at 12yo? whatttttt. not affirming that it has all come easy for him nor that he doesn’t deserve it bc he’s an incredible drummer, but like.. definitely not everyone’s story, to be surrounded by big names since childhood. i wish i was this lucky!
He said something recently that he’s working with them again as well, so possible they’re doing a new album with Brooks doing the drumming. Brooks is a workhorse, he’s played in and with so many different bands.
Idk, he still doesn’t have one. Also, don’t forget Johnny as Johnny Christ and Zachary as Zacky Vengeance. I personally think his name is good, it sounds like a stage name.
I was surprised, too, when I realized he was the only one out of the five that didn’t go by a stage name. His name kind of sounds like a stage name, though.
Brooks is his name, and I can’t personally agree as I haven’t found a song, yet, where he’s the drummer. I think Arin Ilejay was a beast drummer, especially in Hail to the King. Shame he left, but I understand why.
This was coming since Beast and the Harlot breakdown :3 I love these two! 🤗 Edit: Oh dear, Brooks freakin' Wackerman would never be a mistake. If anything, he's a blessing 😍
Would be epic if you do some drinks with Johnny episodes with all of the guys from A7X at the same time
Every day please. Ten thousand thumbs for this comment Rebecca
Couldn't agree more. We need them all on drinks with Johnny
Oh yeah
It wold be purely bullying to johnny
Ha, I would love to see that! That would be something.
Brooks Wackerman is one of my favorite drummers of all time.
ThisIsMyName I think brooks is a better drummer then the rev imo, he’s way more experienced and he’s just better overall imo, not disrespect to you or the rev at all I love the rev he’s a god
@@emo_trash6517 stop comparing them, the rev is rev himself and brooks is brooks himself
Man the rev will forever be my ultamite fav drummer
@@iandamian2604 yes.. but that doesn't mean they can't be compared with regards to technical ability and objective compositional abilities.
@thisismyname wtf does Humor have to do with it I’m going of off actually playing skill

Wow that's cool :)
He continues to do other things with other bands. But Avenged is his main band. Like he did when he was in Bad Religion. The man cannot stand still.
@@georgeramos2176 he’s a workhorse, dude kicks total ass. He just finished laying down drums for their new album as well, I’m so excited to hear where they take their sound overall and the drums.
@@puppetmaster8551 he will also be part of Devin Townsend's new solo album.
@@georgeramos2176 oh about I total forgot about that, dude is such a workhorse, what a drummer.
Imagine Jimmy on Drinks with Johnny, that would be something else. foREVer
Jimmy would be serving the drinks
off-road for life Yes, he’d be living his bartender dream
@@frankallister5538 yeah he would be actually lmao. he wanted to be a bartender when he retired as a drummer
just what i was thinking!
TheHaloBoi I was just thinking that and that’s something happening in another universe
you gotta get matt on here now
God i wish they'd get matt on here so bad. He is easily my favorite band member.
Which Matt ?
Becki Terry m shadows
Becki Terry Matt Tuck
Shadz = Matt Sanders? The lead singer
Brooks is the least metalhead looking drummer in all of A7X History, but man this guy's got more than enough experience to be in this band
He's least metalhead looking drummer in metal music history
He looks metal as fuck when he's on those drums though.
@@jbsurge9812damn right he does
@@jbsurge9812I disagree, he still looks out of place. He looks like a session music
If your a drummer, looks have absolutely nothing to do w jack shit…. This cat can shred the drums and comes from an extensive jazz background.
One must love this band on youtube:
1: Drinking and chilin' videos;
2: Opening the mix of their old tracks and commenting the process.
Another reason why I love these guys; They’re badass musicians but they’re also like your cool older brothers that you want to hang out with (or cool dad, in the case of Brooks)
@@andrewpappas9311 Hes not that old lol, he’s only 44 so so really only 4 years older than guys like Syn so he can be an older bro too.
Gotta put it out there, I'm loving the fact that Brooks co-ordinated his shirt with his drink. A man of class.
That is great, pineapples are also representative of welcoming guests and friendship
I just love Brooks! The perfect fit for avenged! Such an amazing drummer and also such a cool guy!
Brooks is probably my favorite drummer out there. Jimmy was one of the best drummers in the world. I’m happy to see that there’s someone in the world who’s able to live up to what The Rev was.
Brooks’ dad taught me not only jazz but gave me the tools to have an open mind for all kinds of music and for that I’m forever grateful
Love him with Holdsworth.
Brooks is so damn class man, such a great fit for this band.
This series is one of the best things to ever happen and Johnny turned out to be the perfect host and Brooks the perfect guest
Love these vids keep them coming Johnny Christ!!
brooks has the most impressive music resume i've ever heard of and he seems like the chillest dude ever. would definitely love to meet him one day
brooks, the most chill metalhead around
The short clips in between are epic as always
so funny that one of the best drummers of this era isn't a drinker. oh how times have changed
Brooks seems like more of the intellectual /reserved type. From my experience, these types of people don't go out of their way to seek pleasure from substances.
@@slakker321 That's also why Brooks fit so well in Bad Religion.
I want a mixed drink from Johnny 😭
@Ios5513 loool
"What's your favorite fish?"
"Octopus."
Ren Outlaw He’s a cannibal
It's great to see that every A7X member go along well with each other. There a ton of big bands were members barely talk when they´re not playing.
You are not a mistake, Brooks!

Johnny Christ - my favourite A7x Member :D
He was papa gates's favorite until he pissed on his face
@@etsells44 Yeah but he just established dominance and became the leader of the band
@@Biscu1ts_ M.Shadows: am I a joke?😆
I remember I wasn’t a fan of brook at first but now he’s my absolute favorite
I'VE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS!
Mad respect for Brooks to mention Buddy Rich among his top 5 favorite drummers.
I love this show, Johnny is a lot more personable than I realized, get duddy and dirty j more often, love the mix of personality
Best episode so far! It’s nice to learn about brooks.
Brooks is such a chill, cool dude. I love him. Hope he stays eternally in Avenged Sevenfold xx
Honestly, these are one of my most looked forward to videos on youtube right now.
Not only did I give much love to Brooks prior, but the fact that Danny Carey is one of his favs puts him on a galactic level.
Another awesome episode!! I Love hearing the back stories to all the bands, A7X, Brooks music career, memory lane. The Accountant thing lol!! But it's true lol!!

Brooks is one of all time Favorites; and dig his dark humor. Thanks JC for the new episode
Brooks is my favorite drummer ever
Brooks’ deadpan humor is the kind I live for.
This episode has to be the best one yet!
My bass players father just met Brooks at an exclusive show a few weeks ago, and they were ironically staying in the same hotel, they got to talking with him about our band youth gone wild. Best thing I remember him saying was "they must love skidrow" lmao
Brooks looks like a normal guy to me instead of a metal drummer 😅🤣
Exactly what I was thinking. He doesn’t wear any traditional rock clothes.
@@JZJ7777 that kinda makes him metal, tho. He doesn't need to look like a rock star.
@@rebelfighter5249 well, I certainly can’t argue with that. You don’t have to dress as a metalhead to be one.
@@rebelfighter5249That makes no sense. He doesn’t look music related at all
I really like Brooks : ) Very simplistic and chill
Loved you in Jared Dines video Brooks!
Drinks with Johnny Featuring Jürgen Klopp
Hahahhahahahah yes please hahahaha
wait what hahah
Sooo before Klopp, he had a drink with Osama ben Laden (Mike Portnoy) and Mesut Ozil (Arin)?
LMFAAAOOOO
Exactly lol
holy s***, what a resume! i had no clue. i can see why he fits so well w the boys!
Avenged Sevenfold! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD UPLOAD Sounding the Seventh Trumpet and Shattered by Broken Dreams to TH-cam!!! PLEASE!
Look up Hopeless Records Avenged Sevenfold
There all uploaded on a channel called Zamiel (i cant remember the channel name but i think thats what its called.) Sounding The Seventh Trumpets my favorite album tho

How can 17 people dislike this??? It’s my two favorite men in one hilariously informative TH-cam video.
Now 22
Now we'll never know...
Brooks was the drummer in Tenacious D??? He is my new favorite drummer! (after the rev and Neil Peart)
Just zipped over to your band. Insane!!! And that HAIR!!!
Johnny is always so fucking fancy and gentleman-y looking. Also really chill.
brooks has always been effortlessly funny 😭
Love you A7X!
DeathBat foREVer
I like Brooks he's a good fit with the band, a Johnny is awesome he's my favorite band member now.
HELLO FROM NEW ENGLAND...LOVE THE SHOW AND BROOKS IS THE MOST MELLO DUDE, AND THE CLOSET THING IN SPIRIT AND PLAYING ABILITY TO THE REV THE FANS AND BAND CAN ASK FOR...KEEP UP THE GREAT MUSIC, FELLOWS...PEACE FROM THE NORTHEAST...
Man, I saw Brooks was in this and hit like before the video even started. I do not regret my decision. Pure gold!
We need a Bad4Good reunion show. Loved that band
This was great on so many different levels. Can’t wait for what’s next from you guys.
Best episode ever. And man, Rafa has been killing it with the edits! Sheesh!
Please never stop doing this, so wholesome :)
They are wearing the most dad ass looking shirts ever, especially brooks... i should buy that for my dad
Wish the Boys would do a full on Podcast, that would be sick
You NEED to bring this back! Also we need more breakdowns!
He’s a really good guy. His wife is my daughter in laws cousin.
I’ve actually not met him but he knows my son well.
I’ve met his wife and sons though.
He’s a great drummer. His dad taught music at a high school about 3 miles from me.
great episode, I'd like to see one with Syn in the future
“YOU WERE NOT A MISTAKE!” 🤣 I could hear my wife saying that to my son.
This band surely knows how to interact with fans.
It would be so rad to get the whole band on here for drinks!!!! I think Matt and Synyster would set it off
Brooks Wackerman.... Where have I seen this guy before? 🤔
Probably Bad Religion? Haha
I mean he is a7x's drummer
Bad 4 Good
I believe he played with Tenacious D for awhile
Hey man he's Ryan Gosling of the metal xD
The moment where they played a little piece of Heaven, that was exactly what I was thinking of at the moment
dude wtf.. incredible how brooks seems to have been born around famous and big people. i mean, produced by steve vai and signed by interscope at 12yo? whatttttt. not affirming that it has all come easy for him nor that he doesn’t deserve it bc he’s an incredible drummer, but like.. definitely not everyone’s story, to be surrounded by big names since childhood. i wish i was this lucky!
I love this episode so much! Fooking love Brooks, he is adorable as hell!! That 'ryan gosling of metal' was strangely accurate
we love Brooks and we miss and love Jimmy too..
he doesn't even wanna say the f word omg what a cutie
Drinks with the Rev would’ve been an awesome episode !!!
Wow, he was the drummer for Infectious Grooves? I had one of their albums back in '93. I keep forgetting he's only 6 years younger than me.
He said something recently that he’s working with them again as well, so possible they’re doing a new album with Brooks doing the drumming. Brooks is a workhorse, he’s played in and with so many different bands.
Great timing, as I've been on a Bad 4 Good kick the past few days...
Least metal looking drummer with super metal drumming ability. I'm so glad he joined A7X! The Stage is one of the best metal album IMHO
I never watched drinks with johnny before this but definitely will watch more!!! Also get brian on the show as a guest!
What a nice guy. I like how he was pissed over the octopus being a fish or mollusk several questions later.
Favourite drummer of all time my second is sugar feet and then jimmy the rev 😁
Lol do you mean sugarfoot
@@jakegreene4313 auto correct 😂 thanks
This is some top tier quality content man, absolutely love it!
I make a similar drink, called a vacation. Ocean vodka, pineapple juice, splash of cherry juice with a cherry on top.
I don't know why I'm supposed to feel bored watching this but I'm actually enjoying this a lot! Gotta learn more about Brooks anyways.
If Matt is M. Shadows, Brian is Synyster Gates, Jimmy as The Rev. I wonder what would be Brooks A7X stage name since he's still with the band?
The beast
Brooksie
If he stays, I hope he gets one.
Maybe the Skull Brook ☠️ yohohoho
Idk, he still doesn’t have one. Also, don’t forget Johnny as Johnny Christ and Zachary as Zacky Vengeance. I personally think his name is good, it sounds like a stage name.
I can't wait until you guys are able to make new songs again
21:16 Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Johnny's assumption that Brian is the automatic next choice for fucking after him. 🤣
it amazes me that Brooks is the only one without a stage name
they should maybe give him one or call him The Wackerman
I was surprised, too, when I realized he was the only one out of the five that didn’t go by a stage name. His name kind of sounds like a stage name, though.
This was good, enjoyed it very much. Brooks does not disappoint and I have to agree with his top 5 list.
Wtf Brooks is a machine! I always underestimated his power
I made a wackerman after watching this. It fucking made my day
Brook’s Fuck Marry Kill was literally the plot of A Little Piece of Heaven lol
I like Johnny's style of interview
I love how Brooks get pissed off about an octopus😂
Brock is beast drummer
Brooks is his name, and I can’t personally agree as I haven’t found a song, yet, where he’s the drummer. I think Arin Ilejay was a beast drummer, especially in Hail to the King. Shame he left, but I understand why.
Man this guy should drum for Avenged Sevenfold
He is their drummer
Jay jay Shadows get fucking woooooshed
r/WOOOOOOOOOOOOSH
Jay jay Shadows really 😱
Waiting for the comment ''He does, stupid'' 😂
@@BaileyBaratheon duuu where have you been
James Hetfield's live voice seems to have gotten better in recent years. Better intonation, especially. Hope Matt can one up that!
Brooks is not a replacement but an addition.
Cool!
R.i.p rev.still miss your awesome drumming
This was coming since Beast and the Harlot breakdown :3 I love these two! 🤗
Edit: Oh dear, Brooks freakin' Wackerman would never be a mistake. If anything, he's a blessing 😍
Totally! Hes legit my favorite drummer of all time!
JC - So what was it like growing up in that house (full of drummers) Brooks - what? JC - repeats Q. Brooks - what...oh, it was loud.
