Death of James “The Rev” Sullivan
On December 28, 2009 the drummer James "Jimmy" Sullivan died at the age of 28 due to overdose of prescription drugs and alkohol. The band was thinking about breaking up but decided to work on and started working on on Nightmare, which was released in 2010. The song So Far Away on Nightmare is about The Rev and the videos shows pictures of him which were never seen before.
They say: No matter where we turn Jimmy will foREVer be close by.
My personal favourite song is Nightmare, check it out
Shepherd Of Fire
Seize The Day
Avenged sevenfold and hail to the king are great albums
It was a joke that the hero of the power metal played a guitar for 15 minutes solo, using all the receptions that he had studied at the last course of the conservatory, then all die from boredom, after which the hero still 10 minutes playing solo ...))) - power metal its great? but those technikal solo///)))
Some like it, some don't like it :D Hope i got your right that you find the solos too long - if i understood you wrong let me know! We're not definitely sure who you mean with "hero of powermetal"

So if it's ok for you we will let your pot resteem by "resteembot". I'm asking first before doing it because you will get a comment under your post ("Resteemed by @resteembot!") and if you don't want this we won't do it ;)
Just let us know
