We were like, 'No, this is like you're a caveman with two sticks! It wasn't until the band convened at Can-Am Studios to begin recording with Elizondo that Ilejay fully grasped the new groove-oriented approach. All of a sudden, it just clicked. He went, 'Wow, the simplest fill was the best one! Jimmy did it in a bigger, faster, more technical setting, but he's doing what Jimmy did. He's orchestrating—it's a Ringo Starr approach, with all these things that accentuate the song. If you want all the technical, crazy shit, you've got it on a couple of tracks, but for the most part, this is all about groove and orchestration.
For all the band's commitment to becoming a lean, mean groove-rock machine, Hail to the King still has moments that are undeniably, quintessentially Avenged.
The latter two songs, with their apocalyptic imagery, soundtrack-worthy orchestral flourishes, and some of the most emotional vocals Shadows has ever recorded, pair up to close the album in a particularly impressive fashion. It's the coolest ending of a record that we've ever fucking done, two of my favorite songs that we've ever written—and two of the most different songs that we've ever written.
With Hail to the King finally mixed and mastered, all that remains is for A7X fans to wrap their ears around it. Will they accept and embrace Avenged's new groove-oriented incarnation? The band seems confident that they will. There was nothing fake about that shift, that was just the way we needed to go—and from City of Evil to the 'White Album,' same thing.
Nightmare was, I think, closest to what our fans were expecting at that point. And with Jimmy having passed away, they weren't going to sit there and judge it. This is where we naturally needed to go. I feel like we made a killer record, and once people get past the lack of drum fills or whatever, I really feel that people are going to say, 'Wow, this is their landmark record! It's not like the dueling guitars have gone away, or the solos are shorter.
There's still a lot of substance, a lot of depth, and a lot of time was taken to nurture the musicianship of this record. It's definitely a less-progressive record, but there are still some progressive songs—just fast-forward to the end of the record, if you're worried! For the guitarist, Hail to the King serves as the final vindication A7X will ever require. Community Forum list Members Current visitors Leaderboards.

How to get avenged sevenfolds tone? Thread starter Tom Chambers Start date Jan 4, Tom Chambers New Student. Nov 11, 2 1. What pedals, amps ext… do you use and settings? Reactions: Zippy Pach. More options. Tomas Vicente Ramos New Student. Hey mate! Reactions: jimmyjames With that in mind, it will be hard to get a sound like that from a single guitar with an amplifier. Most metal guitar players are using active guitar pickups these days. These pickups need a battery, so to install them in your SG might need some modifications.
There are passive pickups that try to emulate the active ones, and then no modifications are needed. The pickups is one important aspect of the sound, but the amplifier or emulation of it is more important.
Since the sound you are looking for isn't coming from a single guitar connected to a single amplifier, and I'm guessing you're not playing in a band situation, my advise would be to try out some modelling solution, like Guitar rig for your computer. There should be quite a lot of sounds created by users on the internet.
There should be free trial versions so you can try it out and see if it works for you. You will need to be able to connect your guitar to the computer via an interface. This is not all about gear. Your guitar sound also depends a lot on your playing style. You want to have an agressive, metal sound: start practicing and get a flawless agressive picking technique before spending hundreds of dollars in gear!

But currently he is using his signature Schecter Hellwin amp, developed by James Brown at Schecter — just w. It is a nice amp, with three channels, two high gain, one clean — which itself has a UK or USA voicing. Unless, of course, you find a good deal on some decent used equipment.
And check out this cool clip where Synyster talks about the development of this amp. He gives a demonstration of the various settings, showing some of those old jazz influences he was brought up on. As for effects pedals, Gates has used a variety of different brands and models over the past 13 years with Avenged.
Of course a set of individual pedals is going to give you the best and most accurate sound, but something like the Boss GT-8 or Gt Multi Effects pedal can help you match the sound without breaking the bank. So what do his fingers do to get those sounds? What techniques does he use?
