I just heard about this.
I'm pretty gutted. Love Avenged Sevenfold.
RIP Rev x

i'm gutted too, i love a7x.
saw them live a while ago, the guy was a great drummer.
rip, mate. <3

RIP. I hate hearing news like this.
They're not "one of my favourite bands" or anything like that. but i did buy their latest album and see them live. Feel quite sad about it!

Already one of these made?

Lock?

If you look, mine was made first?

Oh yeah, sorry about that.

What did he die of?

"Natural Causes"

Safe to assume a life of excess then?

Fuck all 'natural' about dying at 28.

I'll wait until the autopsy's completed.

I can't believe how many people 2009 has taken away. Patrick Swayze, Michael Jackson, DJ AM, Stephen Gately etc....
I mean, what is going on?!?!

Sorry, I was just discussing him with someone and put that in by mistake /slaphead

DJ HYPE HASNT DIED?!!??! That would be the biggest loss of the decade.

I made a topic without looking to see if there was another sorry... I'd merge them but me and Nicola both don't have admin powers in this section of the forum? strange.

It'll so be the drugs. Or liver damage or something.

Hahah.

Awwwwwww. I feel really sad. =/

From the sounds of the message, seems like it's been on the cards for a while. Even if it is drug/alcohol related, still sad to hear someone as talented as he is has passed on.

ive been wondering whats gonna happen once they've all dealt with the loss. Will they get a new drummer? or will they start anew?

Dunno, may get a new drummer, though obviously it'd be very, very hard to match up to The Rev.

Well, thought i'm sure he was a great drummer, there are probably thousands if not more drummers of equal or better talent out there and I'm sure they will hire one of them.

Im sure there will be alot of drummers offering to step up to the plate and do an awesome job, but they will never be The Rev.

i went to a gig last night and ended up playing bass for unholy confessions

so heres my lil drunken tribute

Whats this got to do with The Rev being dead?

they played it as a tribute to rev
so i thought it would be appropriate to put it here no ?
