R.I.P. Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan

I just found out about this today.
James Owen Sullivan, also known as The Rev, drummer from the band Avenged Sevenfold was found dead in his home in December 28th, 2009. He was only 28 years old and his death was listed under natural causes. The first autopsy was considered inconclusive.
Personally, i think he was one of the best drummers in the world, and one of the main reasons i became a fan of the band (the other main reason is the lead guitarrist, Syn Gates). He also had a great voice (he did some back vocals for some songs).
I still can't believe he is dead, this was a great loss for the world of music.

may death provide him the peace he deserves . . .

buuut I never really listened to his band or his music.. news is news though, It does not make me as sad compared to when heath ledger died, that was sad.

:-RIP-: A7X is sooo awesome. I don't agree with him being the best drummer in the world, but he was very very talented. Man, '09 was a bad year to be famous.

And wtf is up with "natural causes"? He's 28 and seemed to be in alright shape... fishy fishy fishy.

I think :

natural causes = cocaine

Yeah, he was wayy too young to die of natural causes. Probably they said this to keep his image clean, but i heard he had problems with drugs. It will be hard for the band to replace him and they surely can't get someone as good as him (he composed a lot of songs and had some of the coolest ideas, and he played lots of instruments).
