Avenged Sevenfold drummer found dead - 28

[ffwarrior47]

I'm glad to know deaths are funny to you. I'll make sure to laugh when you die too.

/sarcasm

go to hell.

I think he was responding 'lol' to what instantdeath said...

EDIT: Ninja'd

I'm not going to assume anything. I'm still going to read it as the way I read it. They need to stop being "lazy" and actually quote who they are talking to.

It was also their first post to the whole thread. Just coming in and not quoting anyone, and saying "lol" to me means they're are loling at the thread as what it is.

How dreadfully depressing that must be. I'd rather be optimistic in this case, you know, not assuming someone's a jerk until they prove (repeatedly) they are.

Edit: Given the subject matter, I can understand completely how Optimism is not the default response, but angrily defending the deceased from (possibly) imagined insults seems to me a pointless tangent to pursue when you can instead be celebrating the life of the fallen.

I wonder how their new album is going to work out. Were they done recording it? Or were they in the process of recording it?

Wow, is it sad that this is the death I care most about this year?

No friend for me I feel the same. The Rev was an amazing drummer. Damn now what does leave for the rest....

RIP The Reverend Tholomew Plague

There wasn't much published about how far they were into the recording process, just that it had began. My guess is that it was not complete but I hope they release the songs that were & continue on.

Then again I wasn't his best friend so that's up to them, we can only hope.

I bought "Critical Acclaim" today before I heard that he died. I am really bummed out. I saw Avenged Sevenfold when they were touring with Ozzfest in 2007. I didn't know any of their songs, but they got a good reception. Rock Band definitely showcased "Bat Country" and "Almost Easy." The Rev was an incredible drummer.

By the way, I sang "Bat Country" in his honor tonight at a local karaoke bar.

^ That's awesome!

I guess only time will tell on the album and/or the band itself.

Here's another post I made in another thread about him.


I listened to City of Evil today. And when "Seize The Day" was playing, and Syn was doing the solo. It immediately made me think of the video of him playing on the grave. It made me think that, that would be so awesome if Syn actually did that in real life at Rev's funeral.

Natural causes? Didn't Brittany Murphy also die of "natural causes"?

For God's sake, somebody stop natural causes before they kill again.
