Rig Rundown - Avenged Sevenfold's Synyster Gates, Zacky Vengeance, & Johnny Christ 

the tech is baked out his mind

i wish we heard it from the guys themselves. it always sounds better to hear it from the players, because they're so passionate about their own preferences and can tell you the detail that a tech can't.

Does Synyster gates amp have a Synyster Gate for noise reduction?

"Then there is standard, but we call it E." YOU DON'T SAY, MATE! I WANNA KNOW, HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT?

" then there is standard tuning, we just call it E". no shit!

Johnny has an Emg 81 in his bass guitars. In case anyone wanted to know.

Zacky's tech is WAY better than Syn's...

The techs run a good show, but they're clearly not cut out for interviews. I mean, I guess it's not really their job to do things like this, hah... Honestly, I wish Avenged was more hands on with their equipment. I'd rather hear Gates talk about his rig, his preferences, his live show routines, his sound inspirations, etc. instead his tech. There's like no equipment personality when it comes to these guys. I mean, they do change their rigs almost every other tour, so I guess they're always experimenting...

"You know what I mean?" The most annoying phrase in any conversation when said a hundred times

Being a right handed tech for a left handed guitar player would be really annoying.

"What's in the bridge position I know the sustainiac is in the neck" "sustainiac" LOLOLOLOLOL

'I dont know what he modeled them after' What, have you only ever heard one type of amp? It doesnt take a genius to be able to say something along the lines of ' He was going for more of a Fender crystal clean, or an Orange Thunderverb style clean. Also, really... You dont know what kind of pickups are in the basses?! How are you a tech for a bigger band like AX7?!

this tech is definitely stoned

You know what he means?

this guy is totally wasted 'yeah they got... uh... they got... uh, different tunings, you know what i mean?'

Ahhh can anyone else hear the opening chords to (Change) In The House Of Flies at 1:21? Touring with the Def Tones was SUCH a good idea. Best night of my life.

He's like the most unprepared tech ever

turn on the closed captions for this video. you will not be disappointed I promise

The first tech looks and sounds high af

“What pickup is that?” Tech: “I don’t know you know what I mean?”

You can hear Change In The House Of Flies being played on guitar in the background. Probably Chino doing soundcheck.

would be more interesting to hear what weed Zah is caning

Couldn't actually get syn and zacky?

I feel that Zacky’s guitar tech is much more knowledgeable and amiable than Syn’s.

hey...this guy works at my local deli

Probably the least knowledgeable guitar-tech I've ever seen. I know more about their instruments than he does.

"You know what I mean ?" Why the hell would the reporter do a rig rundown if he knew ??

Drop D. But someone should work with Drop G... start a new trend!

Coming from the Animals As Leaders rundown to this is such a drastic drop in insight and quality.

Lol Chris sounded like he was getting pissed off just a wee bit

I’d be so bummed for that set list.

Zackys tech is so much more like friendly and social compared to syn and Johnny’s

This video really makes me surprised that A7X doesn't sound like absolute shit live. Either the tech is really doped up or he just doesn't know shit about the gear. He's supposed to service their stuff, for heaven's sake.

The funny thing is Syn Gates knows much more about his gear than his tech...

Schecters are very reliable. ive owned 3 an have had ZERO problems with any of them, if you say schecter is bad its mostly likely you have never owned more than 1 schecter. The blackjack series of guitars are flawless.

Occasionally I’ll come back to this rundown just to hear Syn’s tech “HUH?!” his way through his whole segment

I've been waiting for this run down!! Yes!!!

glad they did a rundown of one of my all time favorite bands

Schecter Please make Zacky's model in flat green & Camo.

idk if it's just me but I heard "change" by deftones going on during syns guitars lol

Dude is an awesome Tech,Ranging the gammut from DRI to Cher and STP,REO,Furs sheeze.When were any of you guys interviewed on camera???

they need to put "Walk" by Pantera back in that setlist. That was the best cover i have ever seen live!!

Is it me or does the tech seem to not know much about the gear?

The guitar teck for syn/johnny sounded either high or stoned, and admittedly I wish he put a bit more effort into describing the bass rig

I feel like Johnny and Syn's tech is bullied by em😂

Some guitar techs do a masterful job of explaining the guitars and gear, specially to us casual guitar heads......but im thinking that even straight I question Zah's focus, and Chris kinda steered him back on the road more than once. But hey, he's on tour with Avenged Sevenfold....and im at home on a keyboard.

that pick was a Dunlop Gator Grip 2.0 in case anyone cares to know kthnxbai

That tech sounds clueless.

7:41 the sheet says that Welcome To The Family is in C#, but I’m pretty sure it’s in drop D?

If you guys ever get the chance, please do a rig rundown with Gary Clark Jr. and/or Jonny Lang.

Deftones change in the background, at the drive in t shirt

zacky signature guitar is a very good looking piece of art

THAT FIRST TECH WAS STONED OUT OF HIS MIND!

I'm actually impressed Zacky uses Jet City amps.

This was in Norway 8, November!!! I was there!!!

many of these rig rundowns are sooo awkward lol. they sound like presentations in grade school.

9:11 EMG 81 is the pickup in the bass.

bands like Slipknot and Korn make their own rig rundown... this guys from avenged sevenfold have a divo complex like greenday

is that change by deftones in the background at 1:45 ?

Funny how is bored "yeah, i'm guitar tech for youngs cunts of Avenged Sevenfold, could be my sons...should created my own band when I could..."

the Hellwin amp and head cost a Shit ton.. holy fawkk!! I got a Marshall and it sounds pretty good but damn!!

So, does anyone know why Rebecca is no longer with Premier Guitar?

it's incredible how uneducated some techs are. There's a million people out there that would probably love to be in the position that techs are in that would be much better suited for the position. And it would also make for much more informative video on these rig rundowns.

This one was painfull. I know people are more /less comfortable in front of camera.

just about $25,000 and you can have Synyster's tone lol

Deftones playing in the background during zacky's stuff :D

What are they testing a damn flamethrower in the background?!

Can we have a rig rundown for Extreme's Nuno Bettencourt?

doesn't​ Zack play his acoustic on so far away aswell?

Alter Bridge rig rundown please!

i wish syn and zacky were the ones being interviewed.

The second Guy seems actually profesional

They got danny trejo as guitar tech AWESOME

I feel I'd be able to give the same description of the gear. Except I know for a fact that on Synyster Gates guitar he has his signature invader in the bridge. I've never been to their live show and I'm sure it's good, I really do love the band, but my guess is this guy really knows his digital and soldering and string winding. He wouldn't be with them if he didn't know what he was doing technically.

Somebody is playing Change back there

please do a rr on fleetwood mac! im sure its been discussed, but now that mike c and neil finn are in the group, im even more interested in their rr!

You would think techs would be more professional and not smoke a godzilla size dewb before an interview. My word. This guy seems useless. "Im not sure what he was modelling, im just explaining the amp know wad i mean?" My gosh...

For anyone wondering he uses a Dunlop gator grip 2.0mm

Please do a Trivium Rig RunDown haha And I'm tired of seeing the guitarist guitar tech about the guitarist lol I don't know that guy! I want to see the artist but hey that's just me I guess.. I'll stop bitching haha

I'm so confused with the setlist, I though welcome to the family was drop d not drop c# and there isn't even any guitar in fiction

“awawa “ 6:20 KILLED me with closed captioning omg

nice job Chris, cool rig rundown

Not sure if anyone has watched their rug rundown, but is Zacky V's tech also a tech for Dropkick Murphys?

please do korn rig rundown next please !!!

What's the bridge pickup I mean the neck is sutainiac? Umm sustainiac

0:58 DROP G, Billy, where is my gdamn pot! BILLY!

I've seen it done before, sounds absolutely mad

6661 or 1999? Im actually curious. And why?

Dont ask me things I dont know I'm just talking about the amp

Wow...I'm sure syn could be his own guitar tech. This guy doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground

The “tech” looks more Like a sound engineer that knows how to change strings, and charged them cheaper for the tour

They keep their amps and equipment off stage because it gets to hot with the fire. You can feel the heat from the fire in the crowd. Powerful amp heads get hot quick and they can blow fuses easily from it. Plus more for Synyster so he doesn't get screeched at from his high gain, and harmonics from the sustainiac. I know a lot about these guys.. Lol

17:07 AHHH METAL ZONE! Oh wait its just a decimator 😂

I hear Deftones' "Change" in the background...

"...an, um, yanowymeen...." Yes. It's all so clear now. Coffee, my friend. Coffee. With lots of sugar.

Damn I like to have some of that weed he's smoking LMFAO 😂😂😂

DRUGS

syn better fire that tech... and next time he better get off his ass and do the video himself

synysters guitar is a custom s

I do't know why I watched this, when all they use are there Schecter signatures
