I woke up today feeling as if something were a bit off, I woke up today to find out that Jimmy Sullivan, otherwise known as The Rev, the drummer of Avenged Sevenfold had passed on (yesterday morning). Even though the news hadn't really gotten through to me, I still shed tears, not wanting to believe what has been said. He was a great, no, amazing drummer. All of my respect went to him. It takes a lot to be a drummer, you know? He always seemed like a great guy too, I would have loved to have met him before this accident, (hell, I would have liked to meet any of them, but at the moment that's not the case). Jimmy always made me laugh, no matter what, it's nice to know that guys in bands aren't just booze and business (not that they all are in general or anything). Anyway, it's also a bit nicer to know that he had apparently died peacefully and of natural causes. Whether or not that is actually true has yet to be discovered... Let's just hope it was peaceful.
Not a person in the world saw this coming, not a single person. Tears will be shed, but not only will they be filled with grief, but with honor and respect for him.
Forever will he be missed.
RIP Jimmy Sullivan.
You will remain forever in our hearts and in the music that you have created.
the rev,
