Are we ready to be under the microscope? Lol I don't know because i'm so fucking coked up off my face I don't know whether I'm still dead or not ha ha!

Listen kids if you do drugs like me you will die like a fucking twat so don't do it. By the way tell Paul Gray he owes me twenty grand worth of heroin lol. Oh wait he's dead as well just like me!

It says in the issue "see who is in the signing tent at Sonisphere on kerrang.com"

I've looked everywhere and can't find a list. If anyone knows can they please give me a link, 'cause I kind of need to know before the end of today ¬_¬

whos Mr troll?

Man what to say about it.

I was expecting great things, and honestly? I wasn’t dissapointed.

They A7Xcelled.

The whole record screamed A7x and they stayed true to themselves while also twisting in some new stuff.

If I had to choose a favourite song from the whole record,It would be So Far Away, and maybe it’s just me being the emotional person I am, but every time I hear it, I tear up.

Apparently according to M Shadows and Johnny Christ in an interview, the song was written by Brian Haner Jr aka Synyster Gates.

It was his first attempt and success at writing lyrics.

To quote Johnny “It was very much him speaking his peace with Jimmy” and I found it so hauntingly beautiful.

It’s so different from most of the songs I’ve listened to that were written about people passing. This one seemed so raw and …I dunno I could understand every emotion running through Synyster from the lyrics and melodies of the song.

I would definitely say this was a peak in their musical talent, it’s just so sad that along the way, on their journey, they lost such a valuable person.

I mean Nightmare is such an end of an era record.

The songs that Jimmy ‘The Rev’ Sullivan plays on are amazing as well as the one’s he’s missing from.

Those crazy drum beats will be missed so much.

Jimmy would be proud of the guys for sure.

Loved, Respected and Idolized foREVer ♥

Whatever the guys chose to do in the future with Avenged Sevenfold, I know I’ll be a supportive fan no matter what.

The guy posted under the name "Jimmy The Drugs Sullivan" is a fucking knob. The Rev and Paul Gray are amazing, how dare you even speak of them in such a way.

Get out your mum's house you 50 year old jobless virgin. Baka >_>

But you you wont be you will die alone with nobody there to miss you. im sorry i have to be so harsh maybe next time your will think twice before you rip on one of my idols now i hope you can live with your self now cuz what if someone was ripping on you after you passed i dont think you would appreciate it would you no you wouldnt so basically what im saying is i hope you grow up and get a life you sick fuck. R.I.P Jimmy The Rev Sullivan FoREVer. Thanks
