10 Unforgettable 'The Rev' Avenged Sevenfold Moments 

Damn, it’s actually been 9 years... Rest In Peace, Jimmy.

"come here ya fuckin...stallion, duck.."

His vocals in Critical Acclaim were phenomenal

Awwwwh I miss him. Whether or not you like A7X, try and deny that he was a kind soul.

My biggest inspiration and reason why started to play drums. R.I.P Rev

never thought I would have so much respect for someone who violently smacked pidgeons out of the air.

I didn’t even know who he was when he was alive and I still miss him

The person who got his drumsticks at the final show... I will do anything to have them !!

I've never seen the video of the revs final show until now. That shit hit me in the feels

One of the few drummers that was a great part of the songwriting process. Not to mention, he played drums while singing... He wrote some of A7X's biggest songs...

The rev and joey jordison are having an epic drum battle right now. Rest in power to both of these kings 🤘

For those who don't know, at M. Shadows wedding clip he was talking to Syn and his girl (she became syn's wife). he's talking about "i miss my chance" or something like that and he said "don't miss your chance" to them and hugged them :3

Mike is good,Arin is good,Wack is good,but nobody will ever replace Jimmy.R.I.P Jimmy foREVer.

final performance *wipes tears*

Avenged is a bunch of prodigies. The singer grew into a great singer.

R.I.P The Rev. You will be forever missed.

the Rev is the type of person I've wanted to be through out my life lol

Damn I miss him so fuckin much. Come back knife master! #foREVer

Can't believe it's already been 7 years since Jimmy passed. I'm sure he'll be jamming with his idol, Dimebag!

This guy had some serious talent! I remeber when city of evil came out how i was blown away by the work he put into that drum kit! Legend for ever!

I just was introduced to this band this year, so I had no idea about this guy. When watching documentaries and learning about his death though, the thing that got me the most was his face. He died at 28 and had the face of a child. Somehow innocent and adorable. Eyes sparkling and filled with dreams. So funny. And that was what made me cry, cry for a guy I didn't know about until 9 years after his death. That's crazy. I never mourned somebody I never knew personally. So, this guy and this band really got me.

When Rev's favorite drummer, Mike Portnoy formerly of Dream Theater, stepped in on the nightmare album, it really showed how cool people can be. Dream Theater is great, I like A7X too, so it was cool to see MP playing with them.

As a drummer it's sometimes difficult to be impressed when hearing (back then) new stuff. Not out of arrogance or anything like that and I'm far from being anything close to great, but you start to feel like metal drum parts are, well, predictably fast, predictably energetic, but..... predictable. Then I heard Jimmy play and it got to me. He wasn't "just," a drummer. He was a musician. His playing was rich, technically challenging but above ALL else: thoughtful. His playing was thoughtful. He created drum parts that went well beyond drum beats. We lost him too soon but I am grateful that I have his work to admire and enjoy today. I don't care if you like or don't like A7X. But please trust me (and many other drummers) when I write that Rev was special. He was just that fucking amazing.

that was Syns wedding wasn't it? They wrote it off as M. Shadows.

He's not dead, he'll come back from the forest as the knife masta' one day.

His parts in fiction should have been on this list, but a good list anyway

When Jimmy gave his blessings to Brian and Mich, he said "I should marry you two" which was so adorable. Mich once said that when Brian and her was started dating, it was basically she, Brian, & Jimmy hanging out together. They're just so precious. I miss the knife master.

Am I the only one who remembers the knifemaster?

Rest in peace, Jimmy.

what an awesome drummer he is got me all emotional

the Joker in A7X e bet he is still alive, because his memories dont die

I always forget how technically gifted he truly was. If he was still alive he'd probably be doing like drum clinics alongside Brann Dailor, Danny Carey and other drum virtuosos because he truly was that good.

The Rev had a voice that could hit you with emotion, amazing drum skills, a great sense of humor, and most of all, a loving personality, gone too soon, R.I.P. foREVer, man.

“Jimmy jumped into life and never touched bottom”. No truer words ... RIP foREVer 😰💔

One of the best drummers who have ever lived, thank you for all the music you've done RIP Jimmy

such a genuine real guy, not really an A7X fan but its hard to see someone that nice die so young I teared up a bit at the end

What a legend. We love and miss you Jimmy. RIP 💔

One of very best drummers of all time. Good singer too. Rest in power, Rev

"That's the biggest fucking duck i've ever seen in my life" Dude, i miss James :(

we dont just need more drummers like him, we need more people like him. jimmy was absolutely amazing

My alarm every morning is "Almost Easy." This guy was a huge part of this band. I have been following them since 2006 "ish". I'll never forget the ride to the beach when Ipod's were a thing and I shared a set with my best friend when he introduced me to them. It was the most amazing thing I had ever heard. I listened to them in the background while playing Gears of War 2, MW2, and so on. Every night we would listen to them as we hung out. It hurt me deeply whenever he passed away and to this day I feel like the Nightmare album was one of the best albums they ever released. The Rev was a huge part of this band. He had amazing vocals and his drumming skills were out of this world. His song writing ability was spot on as well, it added a lot of character to the band. He will be forever missed and it's been quite some time since I have heard his voice and drumming skills bless an album but he will live on foREVer!

Me and my drummer Owen hugged and cried in the middle of the courtyard in front of the entire school the day jimmy died. You'll be missed forever man, Rest in Paradise mate!

i think that when you see his last performance, you can see he's not doing good... just because of the way he looked and his clothes like he didnt bother getting ready anymore.

I have played the drums for years and its drummers like the Rev that make me lose all hope of being good. So much dedication. Whole nother level. won't stop me from trying though

Watching this brings so much pain. The Rev was an amazing drummer with such a personality; it's sad we can't see/hear him perform anymore. On another note, thank you to whoever recorded the Beast and the Harlot drum cam.

RIP The Rev, off to chase the great stallion duck in the sky.

Who’s here Of December 28 2019 remember a decade long since his passion and wants to remember Such a legendary Drummer

The rev of the best drummer of his generation, We lost him WAY to soon. Rest In Peace

00:53 I was there. So glad I got to see that legend at a live show.

I miss him! He's a phenomenal drummer and nobody can replace him! Rest in Peace! You left a lasting impression in the lives of many!

Jimmy lived life, and accomplished more in 28 years than most people do in 80 years. Truly one of kind, and one of the best human beings to ever be.

One of the few who could sing while he was drumming. Fucking legend

Jimmy was the kind of man who would fight until his pants falls off. A truly inspiring man

What a hell of a fucking musician we lost . Avenged hasn't been the same ever since . RIP big boy

My idol as a drummer myself, without The Rev I'd never have become a musician. R.I.P brother you are a part of heavens orchestra now! You left us with the greatest albums and you are missed worldwide...a true shame that I never saw you in person jamming away but you left me with a lifetime of material to study.

Rest In Peace Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan.

This is what Legends are made of. Pure craziness and a full load of talent.

FoREVer, I will always miss you Bro

God it makes so far away SO MUCH SADDER seeing the backstage karate one and hearing them legit laugh at each other and like you only get that laugh from a friendship as old as time itself and it must be the hardest thing to lose someone like that and i have a lot of respect and empathy for these guys and as someone who wants to grow up playing huge stadiums and make it big i really am scared of the times ahead but i guess you just gotta go through it and ya know just stick to it

"LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT F***IN' DUCK!"

Whoever got those drumsticks at the final performance is a lucky son of a bitch.

one of the best christmas gift from loudwire. thanks !

His mom at the beginning of this video comes to my local fair every single year. She’s a hypnotist. She’s a unique and cool lady!

2018 and i think you still kick all these drummers ass. Rip. Thanx for the ride.

his vocals are something else

Favorite drummer of all time ❤ he's in peace now

I slept on these guys when they came out. I just finally realized how good they are.

R.I.P Rev. Everyone’s favorite drummer. Gone Too Soon

Those fighting skill man he can kill Jackie chan with those

rip ;( I am so thankful I was able to see them live before he went to Heaven.

This dude was phenomenal. Insane drummer, had a great singing voice, wrote a bunch of A7Xs hits, great pianist and was funny af. His legacy will last foREVer

I've already got over his death and forgotten about him, and I've gotten used to A7x's new drummers. But seeing these moments with him again has really caused me to have nostalgia and miss this guy a lot. Rest in peace, dude

The Rev @3:35 = Dwight Schrute when he does his black belt ceremony in The Office

Now he's playing drums for the Beasts and Harlots in the Afterlife.

When I started to look into Sevenfold for the first time, I learned it was right after he'd passed away. I never got to enjoy his music durning his time on earth, but I'm grateful to have stuff like this to show me how talented he was. rip

I come back to this video every time that I can. 10 years, Jimmy. 10 years. #foREVer

I miss Jimmy so much

i was in shock when i saw his last concert omfg

This guy was one of a kind. The guy that made me want to play drums. Such a different style and charisma in his drumming. It hurts to think about the impact he would have had in future A7X records. R.I.P Jimmy.

Every moment with The Rev was unforgettable because The Rev himself is and always will be unforgettable. Hail to the one and only King

16 Dislikes are people that are too sad he died.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!

I have been avoiding this video ever since it was uploaded because I knew I was going to cry. rest in peace jimmy you will always be in our hearts!❤ FoREVer ❤

His back up vocals are probably my favorite. His voice is so distinctive.

Loudwire you guys should make a fact or fiction with the guys in avenged and talk about the rev in it to

Been waiting for this rip jimmy

He literally was he best drummer in the world, aswell as an amazing singer and pianist. And to think he could have given up at such an early age!!! He could do things literally no one else could do!! And how likable and awesome he was!!

He is the reason I even became something at drums ...my dad got me started, but he introduced me to A7x and BAM... FAVORITE BAND EVER

You've teased us enough, where's the A7X f or f?

THE REV IS MY BIGGEST INFLUENCE AND IDOL!!! WE LOVE YOU KNIFE MASTER

RIP Jimmy. You will forever be remembered as the legendary drummer and songwriter that you were. You work is immortalized and we love and miss you very much.

Last performance, never forget.... 10 years bud. You inspire me

RIP My favourite Stallion Duck Hunter!!!! Loudwire could you do an Wikipedia Fact or fiction with any A7X member. Sure I'm not the only one who would love to see that!!!

Dammit, Rev! why'd you have to go and OD on us. a genius at the drums, lost forever. *drops a shot of whiskey to the ground, in respect*

I'm so happy loudwire is doing more Avenged Sevenfold stuff!

Thanks for doing this, Loudwire, you absolutely rock

I'm not going to say first because I will insult the memory of the fallen drum beast. RIP

Thanks, this made me😢

He’s my musical inspiration despite the fact that I’ll never have his skill set.

I watch this a few times each year. There was only one Jimmy Sullivan... we miss ya dude. foREVer
