Avenged Sevenfold Interview 

zacky's usual "You Know"

i love how Syn is just rockin shades inside like it aint shit. and he's the only one who swear at all and they just edit it out

that guy is the best music interviewer ever. watched a bunch of his stuff and he is very knowledgeable and genuine. very refreshing. 👌

"You know" ~ Avenged Sevenfold since unmemorable moments

23:21 "we never release a record but when we do" this is something the knife master would say 🤔🤔

Wow. These are really high quality interviews. It's not the "What's your favorite food" type of questions, these are really informative questions. Loved the interviewer.

"Start DJ-ing"-Johnny Christ. Best advice 10/10.

Zacky v looks like a punk rock railway conductor...

I would love these guys to do an audiobook or something. Love all three of their voices.

I like how raw Zacky is about the fact that he has no background whatsoever, just being real about being a guy who started a band.

this dude is a great interviewer

One of the best interviews with these guys. Nice to have a guy interviewing who isn't a total douchebag and asks some legit questions.

"So guys, how do you write and arrange this stuff?" Gates: "I'm possessed." Hahaha

To SweetwaterSound : You never disappoint. Best online store, best support, and great content. Thanks!

Zackys voice is everthing

You know there are a lot of you knows in this video because you know...

Mitch Gallagher = The David Attenborough of Rockstar Interviews

6 minutes into the interview and I had to stop, and subscribe, this is one of the best if not the best interview i've seen, the guy knows what he's talking about, there is no awkward silence, and the conversation keeps and keeps flowing!

1:09 Zacky is like "...OH I'M ANSWERING? OK!" LOL

For the longest time, I always thought they looked pissed. Turns out they're really cool guys!

I love how syn impersonated Brook's habit of tapping on the hi hat pedal.

Really missed these guys. So happy to be a fan and hear their new music!!

Mitch Gallagher is the man. Asks the important questions and is a great listener. He should start a podcast!

20:05 So Johny what about the bass end of things..Do you have to work things up to tempo? *Syn coughing*-who cares..:D

8:40 "Those were the good days" he was referring to the Rev who wrote it by himself, I believe :)

I love sweetwater interviews they dont ask fluff questions they focus on the origin and the music

Lol Zack said he couldn’t even tune his own guitar, he deserves a lot of credit, he keeps up with Brian and he has gotten so much better since the early days

Killer concert. Decide to go at the last minute. They are phenomenal. It's some of the most sophisticated music. I love it.

Met them at their hotel the same day. Nicest guys on earth and signed my waking the fallen records. Wish Zacky would wear that hat and keep his hair blonde for the live shows as well. Johnny actually spent 20 minutes looking for the gym at the hotel I was just watching him walk in all over the place lol. Syn actually drank too much so was not with the other guys, he was back in the room takin a rest haha. Great band, all super nice

The guy doin the interview is awesome. He's really into what the guys have to say instead of askin a question, gettin the answer, and moving on. Great questions and loved the interview. A7X 4 life!

8:37 the Rev used to do that all the time.

I wonder if I'll live long enough to get to the vocals in 'Exist' I've had so many birthdays My children are nearly retired The futuristic style is now historic I've died a few times Visited the Afterlife danced with the dead Got a second heartbeat And had a little piece of heaven Been unbound on a wild ride Lost Had a few nightmares Got buried alive Went Missing in Action And still no sign of the vocals I'm so far away But I'll stay until the end Or scream Dear God Tonight we all die And Eternal Rest I can't Carry On

Really impressed by the interviewer. Very confident, laid back and educated! Plus he asks a lot of questions that really haven't been asked before. It's really refreshing

This guy knows how to interview. Perfect questions. He asked them very easy and knowledgeable questions. All of which I found very interesting to hear them talk about.

An interview with great musicians where they actually discuss MUSIC! AMAZING!

Mitch is such a terrific guy.

What a lovely host!

love their new album, even though i got it already i am defo gonna buy it too

thanks sweetwater for this interview

I love how the guy always leaves Zacky hanging

I love how they call each other "this guy", lol

Dave Mustaine to Johnny Christ: "I am your father".

Very cool interview. All of these guys seem like down to earth, very cool, genuine guys. As a guitarist myself it’s extremely hard to be able to connect with another guitarist the way Syn and Zacky do. Two different styles that blend perfectly together. Usually with guitar players there’s a lot of ego involved with you’re not playing it right play it like this as far as technique goes which I can’t stand. I know other guitarist who’ve taken lessons their whole lives basically and can tell you and play just about every chord shape but their pick hand is awful. I’m completely self taught and play by ear. Not that one is better than the other as long as what Syn said it sounds good. That’s all that matters. R.I.P. Rev 🖤🖤🖤🙏

This was great, thanks for ether video 😊 always enjoy their interviews, feel bad for Johnny sometimes 😂😂😂 being picked on haha

Loved the interview, when gates was promted to say you done your homework, I knew we'd get great answers as well as questions

I can't believe Zacky just sighted Mr.Bungle as a influence for Syn 😍

Its cool how they explain all the tones they get and how they layer stuff, I love it when bands do that.

Just finished watching several interviews by Sweetwater and hands down, you guys are some of the best interviewers.

Everytime i watch their 'newer' interviews I always like to imagine if the Rev was with them

Awesome! I would love to see more like this.

you know...

awesome interview, really cool to hear about johnny's set up, i had no idea how much he did behind the scenes

Zacky nailed his lines !! Spot on!!

0:22 Inner children activated. I want to go down the slide.

"Ya know" - Synyster Gates

Sweetwater is awesome. Been getting strings from there forever, great customer service, great prices. Highly recommend them!

"you know" ~Avenged Sevenfold

Awesome interview but you guys shouldn't cut out the swearing :)

Great interview. Really cool.

These guys are very professional. Not just musically. And Mitch Gallagher is a master of communication. ~💀~

Finally, an interview where Johnny actually talks

Syn-if you get the guitar without the sustainiac, you get a coil split and if you do get the sustainiac, it comes with a sustainiac" 10/10 best description ever.

Went to this concert at the Coliseum back in 2016. Only 45 mins away, and it was my first time ever seeing A7X. Hope they make it back to Fort Wayne in 2022!

When i was in high school (mid 90's) my friends bc rich had invader pickup in the bridge position. He played everything from Stevie Ray Vaughn to Slayer with that guitar. It sounded great.

Mitch is awesome!

really great interview wish I could see more like this no awkwardness at all I loved it

Syn is so damn cool

Excellent interview. Thanks

20:05 “And what about the bass” Syn: “who cares”

Why does Johnny Christ look like Slash with a Mohawk?

awesome video. favourite band

saw that show in fort Wayne, best show ever

I love the interviewer!

such a good interview, man!!

A7X and Sweetwater. Perfect 👌

The interviewer really reminds me of my junior high music teacher Mr. Hiner who is now retired. He looks just like him.

Syn is an amazing person

great interview.

Interviewer is secretly john goodman in disguise

brain:coughs..."who cares!?"lmfaoo

It sucks that they don't talk much about the rev anymore. I know they care so much about them but I wished they talked about him more

one shot every time they say "you know", it's gonna be one hell of a drinking game.. 😂😂😂😂

Dang I wish Shadows was here I would've loved to hear his input

These guys are very diverse I was shocked when I heard country from these guys. What freaked me out is you don't equate country music with Huntington Bch

best interview

What are they talking about at 10:11 about some click track where everybody's laughing hysterically? I dont get it/understand why they were giggling so much!?

Absolutely fantastic interview. Btw, did anybody catch the Step Brothers movie reference?

Come to Greece please!

love the neck tatty zacky :)

Mitch Gallagher allows the space for these artists to speak, and you can tell he digs it and knows his stuff. Just guys bein dudes

great interview, really liked it, go a7x!

Synyster gates looks so hot. These men age well

Great questions :)

This guy really knows how to interview

My only question is, if Jonny went back and graduated high school, how many of us really see him at like maybe MIT or somewhere, graduating in music and becoming a music teacher of sorts??? I mean, I just would have loved to have any member of A7X as a band or music teacher. Honestly, I see M. Shadows as a vocal coach!!! 😎😎😎😎 I, on the real, would love that. As far as Syn, I would love to just pick his and his dad's brain, cuz as a guitarist, I'm moderate at best, but I would love to learn not really speed or soloing, but mostly riffs and counter Melody. I mean, I'm decent, but I could use more practice. As far as anything else, if I started drums with The Rev, my mind would be blown ending up with Brooks. Cuz I'm mostly percussion, and I would love to learn to clean some of my stuff up with both Jimmy and Brooks!!!

This was published on my birthday 😃

This interview happen when?exaclty

I just realized that he is left handed.

What kind of wayfareres syn wearing? With the metal on top?

yeah.. you know..
