Burn Halo's James Hart remembers The Rev

Published on March 12, 2010 @ 8:31AM // SHARE ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK!

Over the next few weeks, Revolver Magazine will post remembrances of The Rev's friends. This week, Burn Halo's James Hart is up.

“Jimmy had an innovative style. He was able to blend rock and metal with the best of them. He was very creative, not just as a drummer, but as a songwriter as well. And he had such a warm heart. He never wanted anyone to feel left out or feel second rate. He was a special drummer and a special person. Though his short life came to an end abruptly, he lived a life one can only dream of. I will never forget him.”

This Week's Kerrang! Scans

Published on March 10, 2010 @ 12:32PM // SHARE ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK!

This week's Kerrang! magazine includes a classic Avenged Sevenfold feature, in which they pay tribute to The Rev. Be sure to get your hands on it if you can - for those who can't, check out the scans in the gallery.

I love how they started off this article:

On December 28, 2009, Avenged Sevenfold's drummer, The Rev, passed away suddenly.
Four years ago this week, after joining the quintet in Los Angeles, we told the story of the unbreakable bond that lies at the heart of A7X.
It seemed like the right time to tell that story again...




A big thank you to Sarah for scanning these and sending them in!

Avenged Sevenfold to play Canada?

Published on March 09, 2010 @ 6:46AM // SHARE ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK!

The rumor goes that Avenged Sevenfold might play in Canada on August 24th. According to this website the band is scheduled to play with Disturbed and Stone Sour on Uproar 2010.

I have already contacted the management of the band to see if they can confirm this or tell us anything more. Until then, please consider this a rumor.

Thanks to Angie for getting in touch :)

Slash talks about "Nothing To Say" featuring M Shadows

Published on March 04, 2010 @ 7:48AM // SHARE ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK!

Music Radar spoke to Slash and had him do a track by track review on his upcoming album "Slash". This is what he said about the song with M Shadows:

“There wasn’t a lot of conscious thought about what kind of record I was making. I was just pooling all of these people together and it was a devil-may-care kind of thing, but once I started to look at the list of people I’d already worked with, sort of halfway through the record, I had some of my heroes on there, some of my contemporaries and I wanted to have some young guys.

“For this song I was thinking that Dave Mustaine would’ve been great, but I didn’t want to spin way too much into any one era. Then I thought of Avenged Sevenfold, and fortunately we share the same management so M Shadows was easy to contact! And he was great, he came in and worked really hard to get the melodies together, he took it very seriously. It’s me getting away with something I couldn’t do in Velvet Revolver!”

Published on February 26, 2010 @ 6:52AM // SHARE ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK!

Thanks to Arron and Angie for sending this in:

Vinnie also talked about pulling for his sentimental favorite, the late Jimmy "The Rev' Sullivan for 2010's Golden Gods for "Best Drummer."

"My personal favorite is a very sentimental favorite," he said. "I'm pulling for Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan, who is no longer with us. He played in AVENGED SEVENFOLD, and he was just an amazing person and an incredibly talented drummer that brought a whole lot of new energy and fire to playing drums.

"God bless you, Jimmy. We miss you. And I hope you win."

Zacky shares some pictures..

Zacky posted a couple of pictures on Vengenz.com of his big baby dog Majesty. If you check out the second post on the site, you can see just how much his pup has grown the past two months!

He also wrote:

forgive us for the lack of updates. but were trying to get back to being productive we promise.


Given the circumstances, I think it's only normal that we all sit back and wait patiently for Vengeance University to get back on track with things. Meanwhile, you can still shop in their Online Store of course! :)

Update from Zacky in the studio

Published on February 24, 2010 @ 12:14PM // SHARE ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK!

Zacky just posted the following message on the official website:

Finished tracking drums with MP. They sound fucking amazing. Jimmy will be proud. Jimmy's also smiling knowing that Mike Portnoy has a deathbat forever tattooed on him. To show Mike that A7X is deeper then just a band I got one to match his. Jimmy would have done the same. Mike realized that our fans and friends are considered family. Being an A7X fan isn’t always easy because it means you’re not only gonna laugh with us, but cry with us and defend us on occasion. If you’re part of the family it's for life. Shads dedicated his right hand to our brother, without hesitation. I believe what we all share together is magical and wouldn't have it any other way...Ill try my best to keep you updated from the studio.
much love

Mike Portnoy finishes drum tracks, gets deathbat tattoo!

Published on February 24, 2010 @ 12:29AM // SHARE ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK!

Mike Portnoy posted a couple of updates on his twitter about his recording sessions with Avenged Sevenfold, saying:

Just finished the A7X drum tracks... what an amazing experience! Me & Zacky celebrated by getting matching Death Bat tats here in the studio. 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! Hopefully this wont be the last time we play together..


He also posted a couple of pictures on his twitter. All tattoos were done by Grant Cobb, who also posted a few pictures on his twitter. I've added them all to the gallery now :)



The tattoo with the Jimmy Deathbat was put on M Shadows' hand - in case anyone was wondering!

A big thank you to both Mike and Grant for putting up these pictures and sharing them with us all :)

Brian Haner Sr posted the following update on his Facebook a couple of hours ago:

Just got home from the studio. The guys are holding up well - given the circumstances. The album sounds amazing and Mike is just tearing it up. I wish Jimmy could be there to hear his idol play on songs he wrote. NOBODY would get a bigger kick out of it than him. Can't wait to record my tracks and pay tribute to Jimmy's memory.
