Synyster Gates - The Best Modern Guitarist
Brian Elwin Haner was born on the 7th of July better known as Synyster Gates which is his stage name, he is the backup vocalist and the lead guitarist for Avenged Sevenfold, an American heavy metal/hard rock band. After attending 2 different schools in California he later on also attended the Musicians Institute situated in Hollywood. H he had music flowing through his veins even though he did not graduate from this institute. He had taught himself the rudiments of music by reading books and viewing music videos prior to joining Musicians Institute.
This comes across a surprise since his father was guitar player and also a songwriter who had played with Frank Zappa. After attending the Institute for roughly six months, Synyster, who prefers to use Bogner amps and Schecter guitars, received a phone call from The Rev of Avenged Sevenfold and was asked if he was willing to join that group as their lead guitarist. Opting to pursue the career of a studio musician, Synyster forsake his education and joined Avenged Sevenfold.
He had joined this group when he was just 18 years of age and towards the end of the year 1999 Synyster joined this group. This was immediately before the recording of Avenged Sevenfold's 1st album titled `Sounding the Seventh Trumpet'. Synyster featured on the re-release of the first album of Avenged Sevenfold, and also on their EP, `Warmness of the Soul'. At certain moments, Synyster also plays the piano for a few selected songs. The name Synyster Gates was thought of by The Rev during the course of a drunken drive. A few of his band members assumed that Synyster had often thought himself as too good a player for that type of band, but these allegations are brushed aside by Synyster.
This famous guitarist had also played for Pinkly Smooth, a metal band, along with The Rev. Both of them finally left this group since they wanted to devote all their time behind Avenged Sevenfold. Synyster Gates has won various awards like the `Young Shredder' award in 2006 and also the Total Guitar Magazine's guitarist of the year award in 2006.
