Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on July 07, 1981)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Synyster Gates! May your day be filled with more shredding solos than candles on your cake—though at this point, that's quite a fiery challenge. Your epic riffs and mind-blowing guitar skills have rocked stages worldwide, making Avenged Sevenfold's performances unforgettable.

From "Bat Country" to "Hail to the King," you've consistently proven that fingers can defy physics when placed upon six strings. Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success—and perhaps fewer broken guitar picks!

Keep rocking hard and aging gracefully; after all, legends never grow old—they just turn up louder!
