more videos coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Oh tomorrow's video is 20 min plus and a story no one else has covered on YouTube.
Damn, didn't know he was only 28. Such a talented dude
I remember being 16, reading the news on LiveJournal the morning of and thinking it HAD to be fake, but it wasn't. Ultimately I'm happy that A7X continued on, and even without him released one of my favorite metal albums of all time (The Stage) but I wonder if there's another world where we could've heard more of his unique vision than the brief snatches we've got on their old albums.
It was afterlife that got me into these guys..
Butt rock….
He died the same day that the actress Brittany Murphey did, and she hogged all the press
Tragic death? He went to the party and didn’t read the rules
Prison or jail?
Those Kate Goslin hair styles were lit LoL
R.i.p. foREVer
foREVer
Went to huntington beach high school when Dallas cook passed away and played in his life celebration! I totally forgot that the rev played drums in suburban legends!
The death of Razzle was tragic.
This is just some junkie from a shitty 1 hit wonder metalcore band that didn't know when or how to pull the pill bottle away from his mouth. Druggies dying is not "tragic" it's expected. If someone poured those pills down his throat, this would indeed be tragic, but he did it to himself.
I am amazed by their song fiction as the song Iwas not aware it was a goodbye from Jimmy… Though heard of it 100 of times..
Best video you have ever put out.
Excellent job
Never forgotten ❤️
He killed himself
Once you hear the hundredth girl fan say “the rev is the best drummer in the world” you may never have listened to A7F.
But you already hated them.
"We never really shove any religious or political beliefs on people…"
Oh how I yern for the days most bands (and other entertainers for that matter) lived by that rule. Now you can't get them to shut tf up about it, especially the politics. 😑😑😑
Such sadness.. terrible, he was so talented. He became part of the 27 club. So many talented artists that lost their lives to drugs at 27.. Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Amy Whinehouse, Jim Morrison and so many others.. so sad 🙏🙏🙏
If only there were some kind of warning, maybe a common trope or pattern that showed itself, then maybe Jimmy wouldn't have let his band and family down.
There is no tragedy in living a selfish, abusive lifestyle…..it's no secret how that ends.
The real tragedy in this story is the guy that left the band and ended up in ",politics"……gross.
I read an article in drum magazine about A7X …
IT talked about how these guys were straight edge, and went to the gym together between shows ..
What bullshit.. a month later the Rev was dead from overdose.
Sacrifice?
RIP Jimmy, I feel so old being the revs age of passing today and being a kid when he past on. It’s nuts. I have his fiction tattoo on my chest in the same spot in his honor 🤘🏼 dude a legend. He’s up there rocking out with Dimebag and Vinny Paul
Seize the day
If you actually want to hear about his death, you have to skip to that last minute of the video. This video should of been titled, "Brief history of A7X, and we briefly discus the death of Jimmy, literally in the last minute"
Jimmy obv has no idea, but his drumming is what got me into drums in the first place, and shift my attention from alcohol and other stuff in the late 00's. Cheesy, but changed my life foREVer.
Horrible group
I saw this band in Vegas '08 at the peak of their crossover success, they were firing on all cylinders. When Rev died it sucked all the air out the band. That's the thing with drugs you just never fuckin' know how someone is doing unless you see it for yourself.
Edit out 50% of the word “would” you used in this video.
The most IMPORTANT thing to remember from Rev's story is to pick up on changes in a person's behavior or mental state and always ask the hard questions. Never assume someone else will.
King Crimson? That loser from Dr. Phil? Lame af.
Now I think I understand
The 2000's version of Butt-rock. They dress like assholes too.
City of evil changed my perspective on life and being a kid. It’s hard to carry metals message without religious conflict
does anyone else remember the shitshow that was his wikipedia page the night the news broke that he’d died? i remember at one point, i checked and the page said something about him falling off his roof dressed as santa and dying as a result. i sat in front of the computer refreshing the page compulsively for updates, and that was definitely the most jarring update.
it didn’t last too long, thankfully
I loved Jimmy so much. I was in hard denial when he died. It cut deep. Cheers Jimmy!
Goddamn….that emo-core hair is so fucking cringe.
