Lead guitarist of Huntington Beach, CA Hard Rock band Avenged Sevenfold. While he may be my personal favorite guitarist, I can honestly say as a fan he is NOT the best guitarist ever, but he is very good.
Actual name is Brian Elwin Haner Jr, after his father who is also a known guitarist.
Is inspired by Slash, Dimebag Darrell, John Petrucci and others which can be seen in some of his work.
Is endorsed by Schecter Guitar Research, along with rhythm guitarist Zacky Vengeance. Has released a signature guitar, the Synyster Custom, and the Synyster Standard.

Synyster Gates is a popular modern day guitarist who is trashed upon by many jealous haters, when in actuality he is actually a talented guitarist.

The guitarist for the band Avenged Sevenfold.
He thinks that he looks cool in his hat - he doesn't.
He thinks he is good at guitar because he is fast - he's not really that great.
He thinks it's cool to knock of the legendary LYNYRD SKYNYRD for his name! - NOT COOL!

Lead guitarist for Avenged Sevenfold, a Californian metal band. It's obvious from his clothing and style of playing that he has been greatly influenced by Slash of Guns N' Roses- which isn't surprising as A7X are huge fans of GN'R. Often wears a hat and a lot of eyeliner.
Damn sexy too ;)

Seize The Day and Beast And The Harlot are good examples of how Synyster Gates can play both slow and fast songs and make both styles sound amazing.
