Brian Elwin Haner Jr.
Lead Guitar
July 7 1981
He attended Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California as part of the GIT program, and studied Jazz guitar.
He is also a member of the band Pinkly Smooth, a side project with The Rev (Avenged Sevenfold's drummer).
Synyster claims to have come up with his name when he was seventeen years old. "I was out with Jimmy Sullivan (aka The Rev.)drinking a lot and driving around the park in Jimmy's car. I was driving, and all of a sudden I just blurted out, 'I am Synyster Gates and I am awesome!" I don't know why I said it (laughs) but now that's my name!"
His parents (Brian and Suzi) appear as guest vocals in M.I.A., a song on their album City Of Evil, and his father also helped with the acoustics for that album.
Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance often play guitar back-to-back since Synyster is right-handed and Zacky is left-handed, this is visually appealing and has become a mainstay of the band's live shows.
He’s a smoker.
He says his biggest influences are Dimebag Darrell (Pantera, Damageplan), Slash (Guns N Roses, Velvet Revolver) and John Petrucci (Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment).
