Known by many people as The Rev, short for The Reverend. James Owen Sullivan was not only an amazing drummer for Avenged Sevenfold, but also a ingenious song writer. He composed much of Avenged Sevenfold's, not only music but also the lyrics to the songs too. If you actually know who I'm talking about, even a little, you'll know he died in December of 2009 from a drug overdoes. His death shook the band because Avenged Sevenfold (Commonly known as: a7x) was a band full of friends, not just because an important part of their band was gone. Jimmy was the lead singer's best friend since they were just kids.
There is another thing that is really interesting about his death that some people don't know. This is the song they made, well actually The Rev wrote it only three days before his death. It has somewhat of a message if you listen to it. He was said to be a depressed person sometimes but he always tried to make others feel better even if he wasn't happy himself. The song he wrote before he died, which they think is a sign he knew he was going to die, was called Fiction. And > HERE < it is. His best friend, the lead singer, M. Shadows also had a few things to say about his death and this song. Obviously he was beyond the point of upset. He talks about how Jimmy (The Rev) was his best friend and was the people in their bands best friend for eighteen years and how every day he thinks about the loss of his best friend who was not only a their partner music. And going with that the band wrote a song dedicated to Jimmy (The Rev) this is called So Far Away. Here is a link to that! > ♥So Far Away♥ <
