"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.
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)
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!
@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.
"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.
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
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!!!
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
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.
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!

Amazing. I've started teaching myself acoustic guitar. Not easy for me when I do most by ear. But I love to sing. I've gotten so much better, in such short time. You are awesome.
I saw him 2007 with Jeff Dunham but hes the reason i found out about Avenged Sevenfold. Now Im a die hard A7X fan and im going to see them for my second time soon 1st since the rev has passed :'(. 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
