jaxson50 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 No one is exempt from the grim reapers call, when it comes you go, doesn't matter how young or old you are. RIP Rev, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Yeah that Grim Reaper is a real jerk sometimes! He's been busy in 2009! Maybe he will take a break in 2010! We can hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 congratulations on being hip and cool. but it still remains that some adult people on a gibson forum will think zz top before avenged sevenfold when you say "the rev".... Fixed again! (by my count on this thread 6 knew who it was' date=' 3 didn't, one thought it was a revolution ) Glad to help you, sir, and I appreciate the "hip" compliment, but really... any musician who has been out of pocket for a while would scope out what was currently popular before jumping back in, methinks. I'd love to carry on this excruciatingly entertaining dialogue, but unfortunately I have some other pressing matters to attend to. I do so hope you have a LOVELY evening!

Corrosion of conformity Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 JP, a man is dead. I don't care who you assumed this thread was about. The Rev was the name that Jimmy Sullivan chose. This is a thread about him. The misunderstanding was cleared up the second you clicked on this thread, so stop complaining.

milod Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Obviously this style of music ain't my schtick, but... Let's assume a "best case scenario" and the warning it offers all of us. I lost more than a few band buds over the years to "natural causes." It's ain't necessarily musician-speak for using illegal or improperly prescribed drugs, either. In one case, the "kid" roughly my age, was gone somewhere around 30 because he wasn't taking stuff for various ills that he should have. Thought he was indestructible. That, I think, seems to be a common problem for so many musicians I've known through the years, whether full pro or part time gig pickers. The warning is that either I'm so old that it's natural to have lost so many pickin' friends due to horrid natural genetic weaknesses, or that "we" have an indestructibility complex. I think it's the latter. We tell our tales of driving gig to gig through blizzards, two or three days of nonstop-nonsleep drives... even without the partying, it's not always an easy life and we - definitely me included - tend to brag on it rather than consider the physical damage potential. Just... somethin' to think about. It ain't crazy rock and drugs and booze and parties, it's the day to day mistreatment we sometimes do to ourselves in perfectly legal and even perfectly moral ways by most criteria. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can say is that The Rev was one hell of a drummer (IMO,) it's very sad that he's gone, and it's a real shame to see someone die that young.
