[Nettacki]

If it's any sort of comfort to you guys, Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater is going to record drums with A7X for their next album.

[deadlydisease7]

yo thts great tht they replaced him but like he was some of the backup vocals so ull never hear his great voice again. like the song critical acclaim

[thrillmaster76]

@Nettacki dream theater broke up again cant beleive that but I am glad thats happining

[thrillmaster76]

rip rev i cant beleive that they would breakup after his death, rev is the best drummer who ever lived and i cant beleive hes gone

[Soccargawd]

They didnt break up? Mike Portnoy is drumming for them now.

[synysterizgreat2145]

Avenged Wont be the same cuz they are no more

[plebbo14]

2009 is dead celebrities year

[AeroBombPLZ]

R.I.P Rev, A7X will never be the same, you will never be replaced with someone as worth as you.

[imdakid97]

Avenged sevenfold will NEVER be the same

R.I.P.

[Aeth666]

I just realized how amazing of a combo that would be.. Daaaamn.

[daniel55645]

what is natural causes? and how could it be at 28.

[Lunchb0xSupremeSH]

[zackritcheybitch08]

@Lunchb0xSupremeSH are you retarded? he didnt die form drugs idiot....

[Lunchb0xSupremeSH]

@zackritcheybitch08 lol Faggot....this was sooo long ago,

your gay

[CrimDellayo134]

@daniel55645 i heard stomach cancer

[lilrev718]

nope,natural causes,which probably means an o.d.

[CrimDellayo134]

@lilrev718 an overdose is not a natural cause.. and it was proven that no drugs were in him.. cancer is natural, not an overdose you idiot

[pyroprince456]

@lilrev718 anytype of cancer is a natural cause, an overdose would be labeled as "accidental/assisted suicide" i forget which

[PoCkEtRoCkEt50]

I played Beast and the Harlot on drums in his memory.

:(

[TheProstreetpro]

may the rev rest in peace :(

[kpandocshow]

Never even heard of him until today but he's awesome!!!! so sad that's he;s gone we will miss u :(

[guitarheroaddict49]

i am so sad... he will be missed by rockers everywhere \m/

[whomewhere]

eh...

[klaykampa1]

They Should make a remix of "seize the day" without the drums and different lyrics. Tribute To Jimmy. I Am Literally Crying Right Now.... He Will Be Missed. :(

[pimproductions]

rip rev

[Seligsuper]

He chased the biggest fucking duck ever into Heaven.

[anguspage555]

haha

[GeoOoo7]

they should make a song like I wont see you tonight for him as a tribute...

RIP dude... =/

[heheitsjohnE]

R.I.P. to The Rev!

[flashboy5000]

Wow... I'm crushed. That was one of my favorite drummers of all time... R.I.P. Jimmy, you will be missed!

[InvaderTwinky]

R.I.P you will be missed

[DryFigget]

R.I.P.

[cornela1]

WOW.. he died?

RIP to jimmy.

What will a7x do now?

[pudomass]

R.I.P Jimmy, A7X Wont Be The Same now.

[klaykampa1]

@pudomass,

A7X Probably won't be now. R.I.P. James Owen Sullivan "The Rev"

[McLovin6191]

R.I.P Rev, you will be missed.

[OriginalityImpaired]

I'm about to go buy Bat Country and try to beat my scores on Afterlife and Critical Acclaim to honor him as best I can,

RIP Jimmy, hopefully in death he will get the recognition he deserves

[GaryMcneilGH]

RIP, Rev.

You wont be forgotten, ever. \m/

[imasupafreakyo]

I think it would be appropriate for Avenged Sevenfold to make a tribute song for him without drums.

[nickmoore911]

Couldn't agree more. I'm thinking of doing one myself. I was never much of a drummer, but hey, not many people were compared to Jimmy.

[pudomass]

My words exactly, completely agree there

[TrueLegend47]

Great,just great.all the people who are actually good at something are dieing,first MJ now Rev.whos next... -.-

[wrestler0708]

Rest in Peace Jimmy "REV"

[ParticalEMotion]

I swear everyone who actually mattered in this world is dead.

[joerodr]

Only to his family, friends, bandmates, labels, and producers.

Oh, and the millions of fans of their music.

BAW YOUR MUSICAL OPINION IS DIFFERENT THAN THAT OF OTHERS. Get over it.

[MrYumYum0]

obvious troll is obvious

[pudomass]

Pay respect you cunt.

[ParticalEMotion]

He's more significant than you'll ever be.

[Josh27JLR]

R.I.P Rev.

[sokkeskum]

really sad

[CyanidKx]

Only 28 years old. Could have easily turned into the worlds greatest drummer. Such talent, so sad. RIP Rev!

[youjustfailed]

He wasnt bad, but I'd hardly see him as the worlds greatest.

[OriginalityImpaired]

@youjustfailed

He wasn't, but he was definately up there with the much older greats, he's on my top 10 for sure, thats quite a feat sharing the same list as Neil Peart, Keith Moon, Jon Bonham and guys like Mike Portnoy

Especially considering he sang on occasion as well, singing and drumming while doing both well is quite difficult

[CyanidKx]

Im not saying he was the greatest im saying he was only 28 and after enough time and experience could have easily taken over the drum world. He was amazing his talents could have gotten much much better.

[zman962005]

dang rip rev :( makes me sad he was an amazing drummer

[GregoryThomasss]

RIP

[TheGuitarherogod66]

R.I.P. REV

[BassManiac07]

28 and died on 28 because of "natural causes"

hmm

[abermants]

Natural causes = not being murdered or suicide

[BassManiac07]

Yeah, hmm, he'll come back to life

tupac 2014!

[Kurtplox]

But the world will have ended 2 years earlier!

[BassManiac07]

Tupac will deflect the explosion with his lazerz

[iloverock17]

it's always sad when someone dies RIP this great drum wizard

[OfficialChannelOfHi]

Thanks Rev, for sharing your talent with all of us. You've inspired many. Including me.

R.I.P Rev. We'll always remember you.

[RVBDeathbot]

A7X was one of the bands that got me into metal so hearing of his death kind of got to me, RIP The Rev, You will be missed by your fans, your peers and all others in the music scene, no matter what their taste.

[EtownAzns]

Rev was like my favorite drummer :( another reason why 2009 sucks

[J0hnny0hm]

Aw man! 2009 is almost over and people are still dying.

R.I.P, Rev.

[numcaps2]

ON MY FUCKING BIRTHDAY TOO!

[keesekees]

omg bless the rerv :'( i almost cry dude

[PhantomRider50]

Does anyone think Avenged is done because of Jimmy's passing or find a replacement?

RIP Jimmy :'(

[RVBDeathbot]

@PhantomRider50 they'll attempt to find a replacement, but they won't ever find someone who can cover his vocal part on Critical acclaim among others!

[PhantomRider50]

they know people...drummers in particular. If they do find a replacement and do live songs with him singing (which is mostly all of them) they might have shadows sing it of just have a recording play out

[simflanm]

imo they are done he was the band he wrote song was singing and was an amazing drummer

[xnightkillerx]

RIP, one of the very best drummers of our generation.

[Seligsuper]

He'll come back...

as The Knivesmaster.

[DemonicDragon5]

@Seligsuper LOL. that would be legit.

[crazycarp16]

[WTFLOLBBQHAX]

Dear God, that Gunslinger reached Critical Acclaim and was Unbound in his success on The Wild Ride. The loss makes me want to Scream. However, it is Almost Easy to say that he has found A Little Peace Of Heaven. May he never be Lost in the Afterlife.

I know I forgot Brompton Cocktail, sorry Rev.

Peace.

[GuitarNerd11]

Dude, I've listened to A7X for awhile, and over my Christmas break, I've been listening to them A LOT. He died right when I started getting into them HARDCORE...RIP Rev T_T

[volcomstone54]

@GuitarNerd11 dude they've been around for 6 years now and u bearly found them out a week ago what does that say

[GuitarNerd11]

Noo don't get me wrong; I've first heard them since Waking the Fallen, but I only liked 2 or 3 songs by them at the time, and I started REALLY listening to them when their self-titled album came out. I didn't find them out a week ago dude.

[oItzMichaelo]

@volcomstone54

Who cares how long GuitarNerd11 has een listening to A7X. He is still a fan just the same as you and I.

[Moochalacho]

How does his skill render our memory of him? It doesn't matter how good he was, just that he helped produce music that will possibly be listened to and dedicated to him for many years to come. R.I.P.

[WTFLOLBBQHAX]

It's my birthday too...

[IceyDefeat]

Rest in fucking peace.

[TheJikero]

Dear god... I was NEVER going to expect this. His memory will forever be in our hearts. R. I. P.

[atomikfzr1]

RIP the rev... only death this year I've been really upset about. No disrespect to anyone else, but this is just too much to handle.

[sheddedtears123]

who cares if he was a shitty drummer or a decent one or the best he was part of 1 of the best bands ever.

[volcomstone54]

@sheddedtears123 best bands of the radio?! thats no accomplishment in my book

[sheddedtears123]

i didnt say radio did i? nope.

[jtarrant617]

he was decent at best...........

[Yoshimitsu4prez]

@jtarrant617 i always thought his drumming was really cool, at least better than 'decent'

[volcomstone54]

as soon as someone dies its all over the net and now just because he has past everyone thinks his drumming is from zesus it was decent drumming and i have seen better

[mstwntd69]

are you kidding me. People have always thought his drumming was amaing. and not only his drumming his songwriting and Musicianship. He is one of the greatest musicians to ever live.

[volcomstone54]

@mstwntd69 ok songwriting i give props too anyone that can compose is good, but drumming is diffrent. a monkey can hit drums, all he does is 4th timings and 8ths woop dee do . Brodan ur drummers and u shall learn that this rev guy was mediocre compared to what real drumming is check out vadrum if u wanna see good drumming and no before u say anything im not saying he is god of drumming

[mstwntd69]

I am not saying I know drumming. I Am stating my opinion that he is an extremely good drummer(to listen to) he may not be technical but he is good to listen to. and I have heard vadrum. So you know my fav. drummer is Danny Carey from TooL. He is an amazing Technical drummer. In the song lateralus in the beggining he uses a 9/8 polyrythmic beat that goes from 9/8 to 8/8 to 7/8

[CrazyPsychoPerson]

R.I.P. Rev. one of the most beastly drummers of all time.

[volcomstone54]

@CrazyPsychoPerson na hes not a beast drummer hes a decent drummer

[KaOsIAsSaSiN]

@volcomstone54

Maybe you should just stfu and stop commenting on this page if he's only a 'decent' drummer and go and listen to some 'better' drummers, ffs the guys dead pay some respect =/

[Yoshimitsu4prez]

@CrazyPsychoPerson not really 'beastly' but his drum tracks are cool

[ihaveaboner3485]

the man was a genius. every A7X song was so complex on drums. RIP rev, you're practically my hero. one of top 10 drummers of all-time in my opinion

[smoshrock1]

RIP The Rev. You were an inspiration to many as an amazing drummer. May you rest in peace... :'(

[beeche17]

im so sad about this :(

R.I:P The Rev

[MasterXemnas]

RIP Rev.

I love you. I really do.

[oAPXo]

Sad.

[Perry859]

R.I.P Rev

Your a god a drums, may you rest in peace
