@@jakemoresea7415 Well yea. Bands have a certain pattern that they use as their signature play style. A talented musician can figure what what scales they use and create something in their "sound" with ease. All he needs to do is know what the scale is
If you removed the vocals you could 100% put this on and tell someone it was an isolated instrumental of an obscure b-side and they wouldn't even question it because he got the guitar tone and playing style so spot-on
Yeah he perfectly had their sound. The only hard part is replicating the singer since his voice is pretty unique And he’s been through multiple throat surgeries.

as a 20 year listener of A7X...i would swear this is one of their songs minus the vocals....the phrasing of the drums and guitar + the harmony is spot on city of evil
100% real this was impressive. So accurate and really felt like one of their songs (though for obvious reasons not as polished) NOW. Do falling in reverse so I can see Ronnie react to it and perhaps take it as a personal challenge and make a new song! Honestly a7x should as well though. please.
The muscly arms in the thumbnail is perfect. When I first got back into A7x in 2005 none of my friends liked them then and would make fun of the fact they were all in tank tops showing their arms and that's why I liked them haha. They all grew to love A7x eventually :D
Haha, I remember the permanently sleeveless state of them from like '05-08, people thought it was so poser-y. I was a teenage girl then though, so naturally I loved it.
As a fellow Briton, I can confirm that there is nothing more casual to us than studying a Scrabble board before any big event also Korn would make an interesting episode
You know I used to laugh at those bass player jokes, but now I've become a bass player. Not by choice though. I started a band with my friends and it ended up being 3 of us that played guitar, a drummer, and no bassist. So being the only one that actually owned a bass, I was nominated to play bass. The jokes are still funny, but now I feel them lol
Damn - absolutely nailed this one. Even better with the Hollywood last second finish. As a huge A7X fan I have to say well done! If any of the guys ever get ill or injured on tour...just give Bradley Hall a call...
I'm not even joking but that was actually unbelievable. That was amazing! You get the usual laughs from us but to make something sound like that in 5 minutes, my god you're talented beyond words mate! Actually mouth open with how good that was 😂
Holy crap, I just came across your channel, I have no idea if you'll see this but I went to college with you back in 2006-2008. I was in the class below you, with Steve and was friends with Jamie. I still remember hanging out with you in the music room playing Metallica. Name's Craig, working as a Software Engineer now, but still playing and it's good to see you are too. I literally haven't seen you since. Might be playing again publicly soon, started singing, maybe we could catch up at some point. It's great to see you're still going :)
Well, God damn! (no Avenged pun intended), that was so good for 5 minutes :O And you got the Syn's guitar style so well and Shadow's harmonies and vocal mannerisms so well :D I super enjoyed it. Definitely wish it were longer. Next one: Myrath? You haven't done oriental yet.
Fun fact: don't know if Bradley knew about the "stallion duck", but if he didn't... This was no coincidence, but fate. KEEP RUNNING, STALLION DUCK. RIP THE REV.
We all know that he always lefts the bass for the last second because it's the hardest instrument to play and sound nicely, and he knows he's gonna be frustrated if he plays bass the first.
Brilliant job mate! Thoroughly enjoyed that, the duck being at the door and then biting him had me XD also the nasally parts made me think of Dave Mustaine a bit tbh haha but I feel that that made it better somehow. Would love to see more of these speedruns in the near future. Much love from a fellow Brit 🇬🇧🤘
Making a Motorhead song in 30 seconds: Step 1: Turn up the volume Step 2: Turn up the volume Step 3: Turn up the volume Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3 as needed
So the weird thing is this is very rushed to fit the 5 min time line but is still better than more than half the commercial song’s released by record companies would love to see a 10 min speed record just to give you more time to develop the lyrics and tweak the instruments great work
I just fuckin spit hot coffee all over my windshield and myself when you mentioned M. Shadows adlibs lmfao. Funniest shit ive heard in a good while. This reminds me of Guitar Masterclass, no idea if that website is still even a thing, but i remember there were always like..."Amon Amarth - style Riff" type videos and they were always short-ish videos. Never any vocals, i dont think, but what you are doing here reminds me of that. Awesome shit man.
Synyster Gates seeing this: "Am I that predictable?"
Yes. Yes you are
You are, but that isn’t bad, like we all think David Gilmour will play something with lots of feeling, that is awesome
A little haha but he doesn't try to fix what ain't broke.
Yes, especially after City of Evil.

It's the chromatics bro, the Gates signature style

hi nick
Well, this guy has some serious chops and anything is better than Hail to the King,
Sevenfold fans are so starved for new music I think we'll just take this as the new album TBH.
So true I’ve taken the 50
Seconds of into the ether as a new album too 😂
the solo is so damn good
This but unironically
TRUE
The solo sounds so good
All joking aside, this does show how powerful a little music theory knowledge can be.
Spent my teenage years trying to reproduce A7X's sound with my mates and this bloke does it in 5 minutes and is spot on. Dayum
I mean it clearly was written beforehand but it’s still veeery impressive. Especially getting that drums recorded on a keyboards in 1 take.
@@DodInTheSky He didn't write it before hand, why do you think it's called a speedrun?

I’m really impressed on how this sounds, not even 80%, not even 90%, but 1000% absolutely like A7X

Even on the vocals someone could tell me it was m shadows post vocal surgery while being sick and id believe it
1000%
Other than the lyrics it’s honestly very accurate to what avenged sevenfold sounds like
He captured shadows’ mannerisms though. But the laugh sounded like Jared Leto joker

It took him 5s to say dualing guitars, 100% legit A7x.

Your keyboard drums are getting better every speed run!
The growth of the keyboard drum chops is truly inspiring!
i have to admit feeling skeptical when you laid down the vocal track but in context = solid gold !!
You're so spot on it's hilarious. You're amazing mate
arguably the best speedrun so far brad well done the solo wuz frikin kickass
The best baseless A7x song that they never wrote! 5/7!
Need a Trivium speed run for sure!
Hell Yessss! Wanna see bradley try out a Heafy Style riff, and if hes gonna come with those Hetfieldish vocals of The Crusade and Shogun.
Matt might get a laugh out of it
This one is definitely the best one so far. Except the bass line, it sounds like Jason in AJFA...
As a huge fan of A7X, I'm really impressed with how you got a classic and a newer A7X sound in one song!
Your "motherf*cker bit me" had me absolutely rolling. And that was actually insanely good, I'm just gonna count it as a new single.
