Synyster Gates
Band played for: Avenged Sevenfold (current)
Date of birth: July 7, 1981

Biography:

This is the guitarist from they wildly popular rock band Avenged Sevenfold. Born Brian Elwin Haner, Jr. he is much better known by his stage name "Synyster Gates" or "Syn" or "Gates". His role in the band would be the lead guitarist and back up vocals. He attended but did not graduate from "The Musicians Institute" in Hollywood, California. Up until he went to the Musicians school he was self-taught using the TV and books. This is suprising because is dad is a guitarist that played with Frank Zappa. One day Brian got a call from The Rev (Another band of A7X) and had gotten told that they wanted him to join Avenged Sevenfold as the lead guitar. He quit going to school for being a producer and continued his career with Avenged Sevenfold.

The reason I put this man on my list is becasue he can play that guitar like no other. Not to mention he is basicaly self-taught.
