News Buzz >> The Rev Avenged Sevenfold drummer dies at 28, The Rev and Band Had Early Drug Use
ChristWire News Desk >> External Media
The Rev of band Avenged Sevenfold was found dead in his Huntington Beach home today. He was 28.
The Rev’s actual name is James Owen Sullivan, who was found “unresponsive” by unconfirmed parties.
While natural causes are currently being listed as the cause of death, an autopsy has been scheduled to determine the actual cause of death.
Though they currently tried to act like they did not have origins in drug-induced music of Satan, it is purported fact that band members experimented with drugs and did live the ‘rock n’ roll’ lifestyle, perhaps best shown when MTV gave them a music award in 2006.
Though tragic, this is more evidence of why drugs and a fast-paced lifestyle are dangerous things that should be avoided. 28-years-of age is far too young to pass away. Thoughts to Sullivan’s friends and family during this time.

You look like a stoner yourself and I find it funny that you’re passing judgment on other drug addicts.

hey come on that was uncalled for.
it’s truly tragic when a person dies. yet if he really did die of drugs then true it was to some extend his own fault that such a tragidy ocured.
also don’t start flameing in one of the very few posts that are actually not really anything wrong with.

No. NO. Avenged Sevenfold is one of my favorite bands, and The Rev was one of my favorite people in the world. He was an extremely talented drummer. He could fucking PLAY.
Drug use? No. You don’t know these guys. The Rev wasn’t one of those “crazy satanic rock and rollers who are out to get me!!!”. Don’t make up lies about him. He just fucking died, show some fucking respect. I don’t care if this site is fake or real. Whoever wrote this, show some respect. This goes for everything.
Yes, 28 is way too young to die…but he wasn’t a drug addict. You can’t make assumptions about him just because he was in a Rock band.
R.I.P. Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan. You were too good for us anyway.

okay for one thing if you will read more into what ur writing about, Avenged Sevenfold (the name it self coming from the bible), who actualy have a song called “dear GOD” and ive been to one of ther concerts and they keep saying to keep the soldiers in your prayers and stuff like that. how do u consider that “Satan music”. James Sullivan was NOT a drug addict. and neither are any of the other members. if u listen to there music you will even hear bible refrences so i never want to see anything about my hero and best drummer of all time on here again.
