A Message From Mike Portnoy: "I Am Not Trying To Replace The Rev"

Published on August 24, 2010 @ 7:06AM // SHARE ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK!

Mike Portnoy posted the following message on his Facebook page, which he wrote in reply to someone saying the band would never be the same without The Rev.

I just posted this on the A7X FB page in response to somebody who said the band "will never be the same without The Rev", and I suppose it's worth posting here as well:

It indeed will never be the same...but these are the tragic cards the band were dealt...and rather than end it all, they are making lemonade out of the lemons...carrying on the best they can to keep the band (and The Rev's spirit) alive for THE FANS....I'm glad I can help them with that process...I am not trying to replace The Rev...I am merely trying to help them carry on....I believe the band has the ability to still achieve GREAT things and I am personally glad to see them carrying on (with all due respect to Jimmy)...Imagine if AC/DC stopped after Bon died and they never made Back In Black....or Metallica stopped after Cliff died and they never got to do everything they've done since 1986....

Regarding Threads In The Forum

Published on August 22, 2010 @ 8:58AM // SHARE ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK!

I would like to take a moment and let everyone know that topics such as "Solid proof that The Rev commited suicide" are NOT allowed on our forum. If you want to go and create drama, that's fine, but take it elsewhere. We do NOT support these topics.

The fact that Jimmy died is very, very sad - to say the least - but none of you out there have the right to claim that he commited suicide. His family is very disappointed in fans claiming that he did, because Jimmy was full of life. I will repeat this quote of Jimmy's mother, Barbara Sullivan, once more:

"I would like to take a moment to talk about the song 'Fiction.' It has saddened me to see so many questions and comments from the fans wondering if this might be a suicide note from Jimmy, and realizing they are missing the point. Remember that this was originally a 'concept' album about worst nightmares. This song, that Jimmy originally titled 'Death,' contains the hopeful thoughts of a person dying, but the effect on the listener was Jimmy's worst nightmare ... loved ones left behind suffering. It is really ironic that the guys had to record it and we have to hear it after losing Jimmy. He loved life, and was really looking forward to recording and touring again with his best friends."

Update Columbus, OH

Published on August 20, 2010 @ 11:14AM // SHARE ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK!

There has been made some changes regarding the Rockstar Uproar shows in Columbus, OH on August 24. Because so many people are attending the show, the main stage acts had to be moved from the LC Pavillion to the Nationwide Arena:

COLUMBUS FANS! Due to ticket demand, this show previously scheduled at the LC Pavilion Outdoor Amphitheater has been moved to Nationwide Arena. All previously purchased tickets will be honored. The festival area at The LC Pavilion will open at 3:00pm with Jägermeister Second Stage performances by Airbourne, Hail the Villain, New Medicine, Jackie and XFactor1 starting at 3:15pm. Head over to Nationwide Arena afterwards to see the main stage bands: Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold, Stone Sour and Halestorm. The first 2000 people to arrive at The LC will receive wristbands for the floor at Nationwide Arena.

Avenged Sevenfold has also confirmed they will be playing the Nationwide Arena by posting it on their Facebook.
