    BIG NEWS - "Nobody" Guitar

    Just talked with Syn, and the headless "Nobody" guitar WILL be getting a limited production run with Schecter! Availability and pricing (the "wen?" and "how much?") are TBD, but this IS happening. All models will have the "Synarchy" logo at the 12th fret and no other top markers - super clean...

    The Cost of the Road

    This tour manager took Shadows' statement about tour bus costs being up $2 million over their last tour, and broke it down and investigated a little during a livestream. It's fascinating, and gives a little more insight into what it takes for a band like Avenged to hit the road for six months.

    Life is But a Dream

    Okay, so by now, most of you have heard Nobody and We Love You. A few more have heard/seen a live performance of Game Over, and a small handful were in Vegas with us this weekend and have heard the whole album. I'm gonna share some thoughts without getting too deep into it because some of it...

    We Love You (SPOILERS)

    So... Who was on the Discord at 7am Pacific to hear the newest track from Life is but a Dream, "We Love You?" Thoughts?

    Truly impressive medley cover

    This blew me away, and reminded me (again) of so many songs I need to relisten to again soon. The bassist doing the HttK solo kinda blew me away.

    libad5343.net - Marketing Campaign or ????

    So there's a LOT of speculation that the "hack" of the band a couple days ago carried out by Reddit user "libad5343" is actually the start of a marketing campaign for the new album and/or single. It looks very likely to be true (though, it should be said, if it is, the guys ain't telling us -...

    IMPORTANT: Spam, Passwords, and You

    All, We've become aware of a situation that has spilled over into our community that may eventually affect some users. An old password breach at an unrelated site (nothing to do with Synner) has prompted at least one enterprising person or company to try pilfered account/password options...

    Love the album but not the band - discussion

    Tell me about a long-time musician or band where you love one album and really don't care for anything else they've done. Not a band with only one or two albums, but a nice collection of work, but you only like one album. I'll go first - I love Slipknot's Vol 3: The Subliminal Verses, and...

    A Peek Behind the Curtain - How Tours are Run

    Ever wonder what the people Syn and the guys hire to run their tours actually do? This is a great video that goes into the general logistics of it all. I can't figure out who their example artist is, but considering the size of the venues they're using, it's reasonable to assume it's an...

    Fermi Paradox - the subject, not the song

    Just read this article that hypothesizes a solution to the paradox itself, and I thought perhaps some of the more science-minded fans might find it interesting. Especially since, with the lessons down, there's not a ton going on here...

    PERSONAL: My anniversary

    So in one of the recent livestreams, I mentioned that I was about to celebrate my 20th wedding anniversary with my wife, Lisa. I also mentioned that I had made a compilation video slideshow of those 20 years, and some asked to see it. Certainly not mandatory or especially exciting viewing, but...

    A Lesson About Art, Enjoyment, and Fulfillment from Kurt Vonnegut (author)

    In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write a famous author and ask for advice. Kurt Vonnegut was the only one to respond - and his response is magnificent: “Dear Xavier High School, and Ms. Lockwood, and Messrs Perin, McFeely, Batten, Maurer and Congiusta: I thank you for...

    Performing Live - Different Perspectives

    So this morning, as I was doomscrolling, I came across two articles on Ultimate Guitar where two quite accomplished guitar players talk about stagefright and preparation for performing live. They're TOTAL OPPOSITES and I thought that wonderfully illustrated how there really is no "one size fits...

    Captain Ed's AOTM February 2022: Pink Floyd - The Wall

    By this point, you’ve all heard Comfortably Numb, the classic rock song with what is often regarded as the best blues-rock solo of all time, and the blistering coda, where a fiery David Gilmour peels paint from walls with his multi-million dollar black Stratocaster. Hell, even modern blues man...

    SynTV - The Tone Zone - Learning your gear and creating a tone you love

    I'll be live on SynTV this Tuesday, February 8, at 4pm MST/AZT talking about guitar tone, getting to know your gear and what it can do, why is tone important, etc. We will workshop a blank preset on the AxeFX and build the start of a tone together as we go. This is being demonstrated on an...

    Vintage News Report on Heavy Metal - 1987

    This is a fun watch. The Iron Maiden concert in New Jersey they speak of at the beginning of the segment was my very first concert. We saw them flip the car and set it on fire. It was a good gig. I also remember a school friend in my junior year (also 1987) was killed walking home FROM...

    Two Students, One Song - Hector Trejo featuring Simon Eichinger

    Two of our more gifted students have dug into the lead single from Hector's debut album. @Hector Trejo has been a student and active member of the site going back to the very beginning. Though he's not here often now, that's partly because he's been working on this debut album, and partly...
