Avenged Sevenfold have released a video showing bassist Johnny Christ play a hilarious prank on guitarist Synyster Gates.
During the end of their European tour in Stockholm, Sweden, Christ plotted with the band’s monitor engineer Bruce Danz to turn Gates’ backing vocals into that of Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Christ says: “The idea was when he went to sing in A Little Piece Of Heaven you would hear his voice come through in a chipmunk voice. The best part about it, he would think it was going out into the crowd – but lo and behold it would only be for us.”
The footage shows Gates laughing at the prank – but that doesn’t stop him from throwing his mic stand off stage.
