Rest in Peace Jimmy

Das Jahr 2009 endete mysteriös und traurig,

Unser Mitgefühl gilt allen Verwandten und Freunden.

Sehr traurig

Rest in Peace

Hier das Statement der Band-Homepage:
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.

Statement von Mike Portnoy, der die restliche Drums fürs Album einspielt:

Just finished my drum tracks for the Avenged Sevenfold album...what an amazing and emotional experience! Me & Zacky celebrated by getting matching Death Bat tats here in the studio....
(I also went with Matt on Sat night when he got a new Death Bat tat with Jimmy's face...)

I must thank the amazing A7X fans for being so open and welcoming to me...I was fearing them being very defensive over The Rev's drum throne but they've all been so supportive, open-minded, understanding and excited by the news...it is a huge relief to me and the guys!

What an awesome family spirit these guys have...lotsa love! Shadows, Gates, Zacky & Johnny are now my brothers for life...hopefully this wont be the last time I play with them....

PS - And oh yeah...the album is gonna be incredible!
The Rev is absolutely looking down with a big-ass smile on his face! : )
