Then, knowing that it really happened. so what would happen without james owen sullivan in avenged sevenfold? He was a little peice of heaven RIP Jimmy, we love you. 1/19/10 Benji Madden talks to Kerrang! R.I.P james owen sullivan you will always be loved & never forgotten as one of the best young drummers to live, and one of the nicest guys to live. When he was five, I signed him up for drum lessons with a local drummer, and he wouldnt give him lessons after the first couple of times because Jimmy played with abandon and the teacher said, Im going through too many drum heads and Jimmys going to ruin my rims.. Rest in Peace my friend. I am at lost for words Matt, Brian, Johnny, Zacky, Leana, friends and family You are in our thoughts. I love you. I dont know how they will cope without their best friend and brother. You are, and will always be my favorite drummer. You were full of life, and you helped make amazing music. can someone set up a chat or something so we can discuss? Throwdown made an status update on facebook as well, i was stunned! James The Rev Sullivan, drummer for the Orange County heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold, whose apocalyptic songs full of biblical imagery resurrected for a new generation the sonic template of 80s hard rock laid down by acts such as Guns N Roses and Metallica, died Monday at his home in Huntington Beach. Everything the band is doing now, theyre doing for him and because of him. I became happy. Why did it have to be a member of this band?. and there he was sitting behind the drums. I hope A7X will make the right choice invovling the future of the band. its such a surreal thing to have to come to terms with and i think itll be surreal for a long time to come. RIP Rev, you were an amazing drummer and from what i could see, an amazing person. NO F*IN WAY!! when hope begins to fade. You were the best drummer ever, what will we do without you, avenged sevenfold will never be the same. And lifted you to rest. We love you. Well miss him <3 Rest in Peace, Rev, Death just sucks Im a drummer and I thought one day I could REALLY meet him RIP you beautiful devil. I woke up yesterday morning to my mom running in my room hysterical and yelling Christy! Did I miss something or is there really no information on what happened??? Rest in peace Jim, the world may have lost you but heaven has gained another star. He was so young, so tallented and so loved that all I can think is that if God exists, he is an asshole.
