Comments on: Death of ‘The ‘Rev’ and UK Afterlife Campaign. http://rockstopscene.co.uk/blog/discussions/death-of-the-rev-and-uk-afterlife-campgain/ Wed, 02 Jun 2010 03:42:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Jamie http://rockstopscene.co.uk/blog/discussions/death-of-the-rev-and-uk-afterlife-campgain/#comment-5596 Jamie Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:04:01 +0000 http://rockstopscene.co.uk/blog/?p=307#comment-5596 ^ He copied your idea? You copied this straight off the back of the RATM campaign, just like anyone else. The point of the 'Afterlife' campaign is to be in memory of 'The Rev', he wrote the song and the lyrics are closely related to the same unfortunante fate that he met. Why on earth would one of the band members ask you to start off the campaign? Anyone could claim to have been asked by 'Zacky', yet where's your solid proof? And not just any e-mail that could be faked. I'm sorry, I'm just slightly mad at how bad you've reacted to this just because your group only has 271 members. The 'Afterlife' campaign has had support from, 'Slash' and 'Good Charlotte' so it has an extremely high chance of getting the song to a top 10 slot, as apposed to yours which in my opinion has just been made to try and grab some limelight. ^

You copied my idea. Zacky Vengeance asked me to create a group to get Avenged to UK number one before the Rev even died. So I set up a group and started gathering members and then Jimmy died and you set up your group. I dont see why this is the "OFFICIAL" group when in fact my group is known about by Zacky Vengeance and yours isnt. If you want the real group, the original one then here it is. Interview me instead yeah cos I came up with the idea before this guy!!!! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=214991145698&ref=mf This is a load of crap. You copied my idea.

He was an amazing drummer, I only found out about nhis death today, after 3 fucking days...no news about it until today, fucking appaling, so I am going to post on my twitter, and help that facebook campaign as much as i can, i'll buy that single as many times as i can. A7X for no.1 baby!!!!!! As an A7X fan, I am shocked at is deah, even more shocked that only Kerrang reported it, wtf why wasn’t it reported in the news or aything.

When i heard about the news i cried and i still do now and it is hard to watch him in videos and listen to the music because all i can hear is the drums and he really is inspiring but i will never forget him or avenged sevenfold and i hope the guys stay strong but there is no other drummer like the rev. i also believe the rev was amazaing at everything he did and there are many songs by avenged sevenfold that would work in these circumstances but afterlife is the most fitting right now and that is why i have joined the group on facebook.

He was a hero of mine and all of A7X are my heros it is upseting when any death happens but it seems like the world does not care. I like most music from A7X to laddy Ga Ga i complatly support what this campaign is trying to acheive. R.I.P Jimmy gonna miss what you brought to music and thank you for the insperation you gave meany people.

A fitting tribute to a great musician. I'm behind the Facebook campaign. Not sure it will be as successful as the RATM campaign, as the original go is usually the most successful and RATM had a battle to wage (battling the XFactor). That being said, I would love for it to be as successful, to get A7X a huge hit that would bring them to the attention of people who previously didn't know who they were. Would be a great and fitting tribute to 'The Rev' and it would be great to join with other A7X fans to show our distress at the very sad news. RIP Jimmy, may your memory and genius live on through your family, band mates and army of fans x x Great article Jamie. A fitting tribute to a great musician. I’m behind the Facebook campaign.

I had the priviledge of seeing them at Sonisphere 2009 and meeting them, me and my friend Phil (in the photo) were speaking to Jimmy for a while, singing with him and having and a laugh...we managed to get him to shout "STALLION DUCK" (Avenged fans should know what that is) and it was probaby the best hour of my life. As they left, I remember (and I forgot who said it, me or Phil) "If we don't ask we might never get the chance again" and that's how the photo got taken. Thier music has given me such good memories with my close friends, The Rev must never be forgotten. He was literally crazy!

I too fully support the plea to get an A7X song to number one, but a part of me can't help but think people will see this as a ploy to ride on the wave of RATM's success. Sure this is nothing of the sort, but the RATM group has opposing the X Factor; it had something that was incredibly publicized in the mainstream media to act a a lowest common denominator. This does not have that, and so I fear it will not reach the same level of success. Still, great read - and Lucy, yes "Lyricist" is a word =] Great article, Jamie.

Jimmy Was Not Only A Very Talented Drummer But A Talented Lyricist (If Thats A Word) And An Eccentric Character. Avenged Sevenfold Will Not Be the Same Without Him, I Find It Wrong That His Death Was Not Publicised As I Happen To Find Them A Lot More Inspiring And Famous than Say Jade Goody. I Have Joined This Facebook Group And Hope Other Avenged Sevenfold Fans Will Also Join. I Agree.
