R.I.P Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan; Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die.

Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan, drummer with Avenged Sevenfold passed away on December 28th in his home in Huntington Beach, California.

This has come as a complete shock to me, and other Avenged Sevenfold fans alike. In recent years I have hardly given any time to listening to A7X because their newer albums were, in my opinion, a little disappointing. But the fact remains that A7X were, for a very long time, my favourite band, and I still carry a lot of love and respect for them and the music they've made.
The Rev was, as remains, an amazingly talented musician and drummer, and the band just isn't going to ever be the same without him.

Jimmy, you will be sorely missed, and always in the hearts of the fans.
R.I.P

Apologies.

I realise, pretty much nobody reads this 'ere blog. But, I have been at work a hell of a lot lately and haven't had much time for anything else. However, I am in the process of writing a piece about the return of 990cc engines for MotoGP (oh God another motorbike blog, I know!) But it's something that I think could really change the way MotoGP is played out. The bigger-bore bikes make the ride a lot more down to rider skill, rather than having smaller engines and hundreds of electronics doing the work for them. Watch this space, I'm coming back soon!
