The Rev - Death of "Avenged Sevenfold" Drummer

[harlanworld01]

best drummer ever me exstreamly sad R.I.P

[zieziechan]

@ETMVengeance The official statement, that it was an accidental overdose, wasn't found until earlier this month. And your wrote this comment 4 months ago. Don't be a cock, you fucking moron.

[cant0stop0time]

lol Satan will ask him for his autograph XD

[eskimo331]

man a hate that my fav. drummer iz dead.......

[IbanezGTRIST28]

still cant believe he's dead. best drummer in the world, i could make so many connections to him and the a7x songs, my personal greatest musical influence.

[SilverOsprey1]

@IbanezGTRIST28 hes not dead

he is just giving god drum lessons

[CrimsonOmen332]

this dudes fucking rocking out with dime and hendrix as we speak

r.i.p to the sickest drummer ever

[Iwillnotdoit]

@ETMVengeance no they haven't.

If they have, proof it.

[koenieboenie1]

they say natural causes ...i think that's not true, how can some1 die at the age of 28 on natural causes... that is just not natural. Rev we will all miss you

[88powerLOL]

coke OD most likely i love a7x but they have a known coke problem =/

[mestgcspparka7x]

@88powerLOL if you've seen them recently, you'd notice that he's gained some weight from actually stopping with the coke. he did use it before, but a good friend of mine is close with one of jimmy's friends, and said he's been drug free for a while. so, my friend and i think that maybe him actually stopping the drugs put too much pressure on his heart.

[88powerLOL]

ya who knows i saw them back in 07 and he had a belly

[RockstarKait2012]

December 28th 2009 was the day my life crashed around me... RIP REV!!!

[narutosnichan]

how did he died

[JeffEllsworth]

he's rockin so hard in HEAVEN right now...i know he is...i think i here him now!!

rip rev

[jayjimjim]

@JeffEllsworth Eh.. I can picture him better in hell rocking out with satan.

[meshahaf]

I can't believe he's goneT__T

[OniDog123]

R.I.P Jimmy :L I can't believe your gone! We all miss you!!! Best drummer evar!

[TheTrollMurderer]

It came as a HUGE shock to me, i read it on a youtube comment actually, "RIP The Rev", my jaw dropped. He was only 28 years old, seriously! Its very sad...

[andykray6661]

Rock in Paradise Jimmy!

[piemaster64]

its a shame, i mean he was avenged sevenfold. i cant imagine how the band will be without him. and the worst part about his death was that they were just starting a new album, set to release spring/ summer 2010

[hittinone]

This truely suck ass...

I know it is too soon to talk abouit a replacement, but The 1st name that popped in my head was Morgan Rose. (vocals and drums).. But unlikely he'd leave Sevendust or p/u a 2nd band. Very similar vocals.

[HelloGoodMaam]

He's tasteing a little bit of heaven right now :/ one of the best songs he wrote... ironic how all of his songs were about death. I loved him. Let's hope that the band can move on. But carry him with them.

[Papercut89]

"Loved ones back home are crying 'cause they are already missing me." -Afterlife

They surely are, so am I. Just found out when I went to see their website. It's horrible. He truly was the best drummer and the only drummer I've ever respected so much. I can only imagine how the band members are feeling. Let's hope they'll have strenght to move on.

[metallicaownsme]

My Story: A friend told me he died because I was playing Need For Speed Most Wanted and changed to BLINDED IN CHAINS. He said "The drummer died"

I was like, "No. Probably someone else."

He said "Ok, try it on the computer"

I did and... It was him!

That is so FUCKED up! Why him, the best drummer EVA! Why?!

R.I.P. Jimmy

Me, A7X and all of your fans loved your undescribable drumming speed and how good you played! You are in heaven (HOPEFULLY) We miss you and I hope we get a good drummer in!

[666demon1994]

Rest In Peace Jimmy... and stay strong Avenged Sevenfold ! ! We all miss Jimmy =(

The world has lost an awesome drummer.

[sisamuth13]

[vermillionh]

[synysterizgreat2145]

[gohanyo]

Avenged Sevenfold cant be Avenged Sevenfold without him.

R.I.P. The Rev

[rudiiwii]

why?!!?

pfff

i will miss him like all

a7x fans...

[SuperstarAnDaboyshow]

@raven5677 they dont know the cause of death yet, but they think it was because of cocaine or drugs

[SuperstarAnDaboyshow]

i still cannot believe hes dead!!!!! hes the one that hooked me on drumming! he was hilarious and...of course...a damn good drummer!!! i dont think A7X will be the same without rev now! R.I.P. Jimmy Sullivan

[sidekilla1]

rip rev the best drummer in the world

[sickpuppiesarecool]

i am so saddened. usually, i am not affected by celeb deaths. not even michael jackson. but i am greatly impacted by his death and a7x will never been the same with out them.

RIP, we love you

[xRaven71x]

he was the reason why i started drumming.

[Coheedvengeance]

Jimmy Sullivan is...was*....argueably the best drummer in the world...it is a sad great loss...i love you avenged sevenfold, and i love you Jimmy...R.I.P

[fudunger]

@sicfreak91, if it was a health problem that killed him, I salute him for not letting it hold back his love for his music.

[keeg1395]

The Rev = God

He was one of the greatest drummers out there and he help A7X become wat there r today

RIP The Rev

[sicfreak91]

@raven5677 and how exactly do YOU know it wasn't a suicide, an accident or homicide? to be honest, those explanations sound perfectly reasonable at this guys age. age 28 and died of 'natural causes'? trust me kid, there nothing 'natural' about that. if there was something wrong with him, this should of been diagnosis and if it was a heart problem, he probably shouldn't have even been touring with A7X to begin with.

[wafflehead11]

Rev! You'll always be the best drummer to me and you'll always be my inspiration! We will truly miss you and god bless your family.

[DefinitelyMaybeCosmo]

RIP, best drummer out there.

He made A7X what it is today and marked his place in rock history. Remember the great Rev.

[xma456]

Why so many 2009 nine deaths.... WHY!?!?!

[tishomoka]

This sucks,

[hadihajiri]

What is natural causes??

[demonicknife0012]

well its like a heart failure but not induced by medication

[jaredthompson13]

I think A7X might be dead now. You can't replace him.

[TheKingZB]

it sux to think that but its true, he is in my mind one of the best drummers of the decade

[willsdrumcovers]

This is just like Cliff Burton's death all over again. Farewell, James.

[JustDrinkIt]

WHY?!? ITS UNFAIR GOD DAMNIT!!

[resides87]

it cant be natural causes he was only 28

RIP man =[

[001jhl]

if i had a nickel for every person that died in 09 id be rich.

this is sad i can't beleive hes gone,

May he R.I.P.

He won't be forgotten, A7x won't be the same without him.

[0tears0dont0fall0]

I can't fucking believe it. I can't fucking believe it. I can't fucking believe it.

/:

[jennykhan1]

Are those the autopsy pictures or the pictures of him dead at the scene?

Also on the site it says he died of natural causes and he was 28. My question is what 28 year old die of natural causes when they are that active? FOUL PLAY!

STOP SHOWING DEAD PEOPLE!

[itachivengeance]

BUT HOW COULD THE REV DIE??

!!

[ebnation]

So many people died in 2009 it's sad

[jaudather]

Wait until you see 2010's Line up!

[GrooveInYourOwnTime]

@jaudather i'm feeling bad too
