Drummer for Avenged Sevenfold found dead

[C_F_H_13]

yeah he did brag alot in older interviews about doing a ton of drugs....so "natural causes" probably means previous cocaine use induced heart attack.

 

[_Brutalism_]

I remember when Avenged Sevenfold first came out and were taking all the limelight from bands who were actually metal, I secretly wished they'd all die in a plane crash or something, that was my mentality at the time. Now when something tragic happens, I take a deep sigh and say "How sad...". Life's fucking precious and its a damn shame when I see the loss of it around me. Stay healthy and safe dudes, that's the most we can do.

To clarify, "Natural Causes" usually means just that it was neither Homicide or Suicide,

given the apparent lifestyle of the band, one could draw their own conclusions as to what these specific set of "Natural Causes" may be.

anyway, but may he RIP.

fuck this really sucks. he was an amazing drummer and seemed like a funny guy you could hang out with.

That´s sad. I remember when Drowning Pool´s original vocalist died. It was "natural causes" too and he was only 30.

i'm pretty sure they said right off the bat that he choked on his puke on their bus...

That was a rumor, he died of an undiagnosed heart condition

Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, drummer for the band "Avenged Sevenfold", was found dead in his home in Huntington Beach, California, on December 28th. He was 28 years old.
Sullivan appears to have died of natural causes, Huntington Beach police Lt. John Domingo told The Orange County Register. Police were notified by firefighters who had responded to Sullivan's home about 1 p.m., according to the report.

The Orange County coroner's office is investigating his death.
The band formed in Huntington Beach in 1999, and was currently working on their fifth album. In addition to playing drums for A7X, The Rev was a prolific songwriter, having contributed the track "A Little Piece of Heaven" to the band's fourth studio CD, 2007's "Avenged Sevenfold".
The rest of the band submitted this statement on their website:
"It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we tell you of the passing today of Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan. Jimmy was not only one of the world's best drummers, but more importantly he was our best friend and brother. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jimmy's family and we hope that you will respect their privacy during this difficult time.
Jimmy you are forever in our hearts.
We love you.
M Shadows, Synyster Gates, Zacky Vengeance and Johnny Christ"
RIP James Owen Sullivan.

Tbh though, I like Avenged Sevenfold better than most metal bands and it's not as if the guy was untalented, so all the hate doesn't seem to be much more than just plain spite.

Definitely think the drummer was the best part of the whole band.
And I DO like some Avenged Sevenfold's stuff.
Specifically City Of Evil.
Although M Shadows' voice bothers me some times.
hahaha

Hey Jesse, I'm listening to them right now.

You suck!

Jesse, this is the most musically fulfilling experience of my life, in all honesty, A7X shits all over bands like Nevermore.

I don't like the music at all but it still sucks to hear that someone died far too young.

Dude, I totally air guitar-ed that solo in Bat Country every time I heard it and was stoned/drunk. Otherwise I couldn't care less about this d00d.

take a solid listen through of City of Evil and tell me that not one riff from the entire cd isn't stuck in your head.
haha
Some of their songs are actually extremely well structured and they have some really catchy riffs.
