The Rev died on Monday

[Eevee]

The drummer and back-up vocalist of my FAVORITE band who I had been hoping to see live in concert for the first time when they started touring again died on Monday.

He was found in his home in California at 11:00 AM on Monday December 28, 2009. He appeared to have died of natural causes but the coroner is still investigating the body.

RIP The Rev/The Reverend Tholomew Plague/James Owen Sullivan

February 10, 1981 – December 28, 2009

(Yes, he was only 28-years old)

A7X will NEVER be the same without you...

A truly amazing drummer

...that music made me hurt, & cry...I don't like it.

I am sorry so many of my friends are affected (effected?) by this death....

....why have I never even heard of these guys before yesterday though...

They've been my favorite band for years.

They were more metal before M.Shadows (the lead singer) hurt his voice from the screaming and so he had to switch up his singing style. They became a bit more mainstream a couple years ago with their most recent CD release (and 4th CD release), self titled, Avenged Sevenfold. (I just felt like a news reporter...)

Sad. I honestly don't think I've ever heard a song by this band though.

Their song Bat Country was a fairly big hit along with Seize the Day, Scream, and Afterlife.
