if you have not heard, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan died on December 28, 2009.
Jimmy was the drummer for the band Avenged Sevenfold, and was a very creative drummer. the band had been working on a fifth album, but i dont know whats going to happen now.

he was found in his house in huntington beach, california, and the police are reporting cause of to be natural causes.

this is where the controversey lies. he was only 28 years old. natural causes?
it seems like hes a bit young to die of natural causes.

hopefully something will be confirmed soon.

Dang dood...
A lot of people at school liked him.
(aren't wooden steaks natural?).......

He was a great drummer and songwriter its surprising how many of A7X's songs he wrote. I think we'll all miss his music. Hopefully A7X will find some way to move on but I kinda doubt it.
And I'm skeptical about those natural causes. I know the rev drank a lot and he might have done some drugs but who knows for sure yet.

ya... maybe they meant "natural causes... for a rockstar"
haha sadly thats the stereo-type.

they said he looked healthy before he died. ill definitely miss his music. i was really looking forward to their new album, the self titled one didnt quite live up to my expectations.

ya... maybe they meant "natural causes... for a rockstar"

haha i didn't think of it that way but it makes sense
Personally I really enjoyed the self titled album and city of evil but the first two weren't the greatest in my opinion

it really sucks that "the rev" is gone imo he really made the sound of avenged sevenfold and he is one of my inspirations as a drummer... i know they were kinda open about their alcohol and drug use and all there partying habbits... but who wouldn't do these things if you were at the position of that band... the problem with them saying he died of natural causes is it's just saying he did't die in a car crash or get shot or anything... u can snort an 8ball and have a heartattack and that would be considered natural causes...really it just brings us back to realize that no one is immortal...but his talent will be missed!!!

[skippy]

wow too soon. One of my favorite drummers of the new era.

[Buddy]

Man. Are they gonna go for a new drummer or whats the deal?

[butter]

dunno man

they definitely cant "replace" him. they could get a new drummer, but the rev really fit with A7X.
it wouldnt be the same.

[Luke]

Plus most of them grew up together and were friends so they definitely can't replace a friend. They might try to get a new drummer but A7X just won;t be the same
