"Drop acid and go to Disneyland" And that, my friends, is where his son Synyster Gates, lead guitarist of A7X, had the idea to write Unbound: The Wild Ride with the band.
This man puts together two of my favorite things. Good stand up comedy, and music, and he created Synyster Gates so, this guy is pure epicness in my books!
1)Sweet Child O' Mine - GNR 2) Hard Days Night - Beatles 3) Purple Haze - Jimmi Hendrix 4) Smoke on the Water - Deep purple 4) Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - Beatles 5)Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin 6) Beat it - MJ 7) Car Wash - Rose Royce 8) Hit Me with Your Best Shot - Pat Benatar 9) Faith - George Michael 10) I Want to Know what Love is - Foreigner 11) Pour Some Sugar on Me - Def Leppard 12) Sweet Child O' Mine - GNR 13) Jump - Van Halen 14) Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana 15)
"Now when I see him on stage he's MY guitar hero." Ermehgawd. Brian's so sweet to his son x3 "And I watch him shred a solo for ten thousand screaming fans I think to myself...pfft. I can do that." Nevermind.
you should be extremely proud of your son not only has his music inspired other musicians, it has actually helped many of my friends through the hardest of times, you are an amazing guitarist and i know you're just as good at being a dad..keep up the great work.
@Kail533 LOL. I know you were kidding or I wouldn't have answered you. Thank you for the compliment. I think I'm a very good player, but clearly not in the league as the guys you mentioned. The main difference between Syn and me is that Syn is in the business of being one of the greats. In order to do that, you must tread on new ground and be cutting edge. I am under no such constraints. I am an old school guy and I play whatever I think sounds good. If it is a bit retro, that's fine with me.
This is the most coolest and hilariously talented man i have ever seen. Him and his son are like the coolest thing since i had that subway sandwich an hour ago. I love this dude. GO BRIAN HANER !!!
9:55. Serious shedding. No shit. They tamed the volume. I would buy a plane ticket and a hotel just to see this guy. Seen his sons band a few times. AMAZING LIVE. I see where he gets it. Janet Sr is no joke
This was one of the first videos I saw on youtube and it was when I was sooo heavy into my A7x phase, now I'm composing and arranging music and studying vocal performance. You're a fantastic story teller and honestly the nostalgia is hitting me at how inspired I was by this video to keep doing music.
Also i wish my dad know how to play because that would make him really happy, so i'll start to teach him some basic chords so he can play something by the beatles, i just want to see him happy
thank you papa gates i love what you have done and what you have created for your family and son...i feel lucky to have a father that supports me with what i do as well...live well and keep rocking!! hit me up if your in NOR CAL!!!
You inspired me more than you can ever know. The sidewinder solo is possibly the greatest musical creation ever made, and your son is my idol, you guys are phenomenal, thank you
I think this is an amazing and clever combination of music, life and comedy. I've listened to it at least 40 times and every time it makes me smile because it's so different and clever. Thanks!

Anyway thank you Papa Gates for helping me find my favorite band. YOU ROCK AND ARE AN AWESOME GUITAR PLAYER!!!!!!!! You taught your son well lol
Brian, you're a fantastic guitarist. I've been playing since I was around 12 (I'm 61 now), and I wish I could play as well as you. I enjoy your work with Jeff Dunham and his friends. Keep it up. -Reggie Steele, Syracuse, New York.

"Drop acid and go to Disneyland"
And that, my friends, is where his son Synyster Gates, lead guitarist of A7X, had the idea to write Unbound: The Wild Ride with the band.
You forgot to mention that the demo title was "Disneyland Acid Trip"
"My son and his high school friends started a 'little band called Avenged Sevenfold."
Now that's the band which keeps me going.
Dear guitar guy,
Thank you.
Signed, all A7X fans
hey
Syn and his dad are the coolest people ever
Ahh so I guess it's safe to say that we can see where Syn's shred talent came from.
Yeah, fucking Van Halen of all people.
Dao Yang perfect
Though he has a very talented father, he is ironically classically trained on guitar
And me watching the Jeff Dunham Christmas songs and he’s the guitar guy lmfao that took to long
His son almost has the exact same voice
Not at all..its same💯
"You know who their guitar hero is. That's right. Eddie Van Halen." *Plays intro to Jump and then plays Nirvana*

That's what I like about you, you are old school. By the way Disneyland was a blast on acid🤪
You and your son are phenomenal guitar players. I can hear your influence when he plays.
Tho as far as I'm concerned you did play the acoustic Sidewinder solo in the end tho and that is one of my absolute favourite solos.
This is the most coolest and hilariously talented man i have ever seen. Him and his son are like the coolest thing since i had that subway sandwich an hour ago. I love this dude.
GO BRIAN HANER !!!
"pff, I can do that"
Brian and Syn have the same voice and face!
Uhh yeah they are in fact related by blood.
Well one of guitar guys nicknames is "papa gates"....big give away
They literally have the same name
😂and brian sr looks like his mother and syn gates sister looks like syn gates
Damn! Now I see where Syn got his talent. Sweet!
Yeah, Eddie Van Halen
Still one of the best performances I’ve ever seen!
This is Synyster Gates dad. Sweeeeeeet.
Papa gates! ;)
+ilikemusic5440 NO ITS JOHNNY'S FATHER
Yep
I'm surprise when he played creed and green day.... my fav bands beside a7x
and of course "i can do that" solo :3
I watched this at least 3 times before I caught that Beat It pun
Max Pinto I’ve watched this like 1000 times and I only JUST got that.
Haha I got it right away.
I was like "ooh beat it" and then was like "oohhhh i get it!!"
UuUhHhHhhhH, hE mEAnS J-

I've been playing guitar for about 4 and a half years and I used your A7x tutorials to help me get started! So to you sir I say thank you \m/
SYN'S DAD?!?!?!?!?!
+Delbert Joseph Yes
+Delbert Jeremiah Has been for over 30 years haha

He told us in Erie, PA in 2008 when we saw him touring with Jeff Dunham. Freaking great show! Loved every second of it.
8:38 This is obviously the best part of the video xD
+Elie The Metalhead that tapping lick like Eruption (Van Halen) and at 9:07 like Star Spangled Banner...
I still,love this video to this very day. wish there was a better quality version
He is such a talented guy, and funny. I am so glad that he was there at Jeff's show. A great start to a wonderful weekend.
9:55. Serious shedding. No shit. They tamed the volume. I would buy a plane ticket and a hotel just to see this guy. Seen his sons band a few times. AMAZING LIVE. I see where he gets it. Janet Sr is no joke
C'mon guys, who do you think taught Syn guitar...?
Van Halen
danm he can sing and rock out can tell where syn gets it
This was one of the first videos I saw on youtube and it was when I was sooo heavy into my A7x phase, now I'm composing and arranging music and studying vocal performance. You're a fantastic story teller and honestly the nostalgia is hitting me at how inspired I was by this video to keep doing music.
Got to see this guy live at the improv in Ontario, CA. Absolutley captivating.

Also i wish my dad know how to play because that would make him really happy, so i'll start to teach him some basic chords so he can play something by the beatles, i just want to see him happy

That moment when you realize this guy is the father of Synyster Gates.

Papa Gates, also guitar guy for Jeff Dunham
I still remember watching this on our desktop computer in 2008 when I was absolutely obsessed with Syn and A7X. Can’t believe it’s been 16 years
You inspired me more than you can ever know. The sidewinder solo is possibly the greatest musical creation ever made, and your son is my idol, you guys are phenomenal, thank you
holy christ Brian ur my guitar hero along wit Brian Jr and McKenna big love
papa gates should play the anthem in football games his version is way too awsome!!!!!!
I think this is an amazing and clever combination of music, life and comedy. I've listened to it at least 40 times and every time it makes me smile because it's so different and clever. Thanks!
i had tears in my eyes at the end of the video. your one of the best guitar players i've ever seen and heard.
Amazing guy and guitarist

Can't believe his son is Gates
That's why one of his nicknames is Papa Gates
Most wholesome and profound stand up act I've ever seen.
You, Gabriel Iglacias, and Christopher Titus are my favorite comedians ever.

He is good and funny - love him when he works with Jeff Dunham
