As many may have heard already, Jimmy “the Rev” Sullivan passed away yesterday. He was 28-years-old. Sullivan was drummer and back-up vocalist for the band Avenged Sevenfold. This was the message the band posted on their MySpace to all their fans:
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
I listened to them a lot when I was a freshman in college, and my favorite album was City of Evil. As a memorial I thought I would post the video for the single of that album, “Bat Country”.
