i'm bumping this thread because their new album, Nightmare, is coming out today, July 27th and after having listened to the album, I can tell that they really made it for The Rev
you can listen to the song Fiction, which is The Rev's song (he sings in it) and it's probably the greatest song.
http://www.aimini.net/view/?fid=…also, this is what he died of :
"The cause of Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan's death was revealed on June 9, 2010. Orange County Deputy Coroner Mitchell Sigal determined from toxicology tests that The Rev died of an accidental overdose of strong prescription painkillers and alcohol. His death was a result of acute polydrug intoxication due to combined effects of oxycodone, oxymorphone, diazepam/nordiazepam, and active intoxicant of alcohol. Sigal also noted that The Rev also had an enlarged heart, which was noted in the coroner's report as a "significant condition" that may have contributed to his death."

What about Danny Carey from TOOL and Joey Jordison from Slipknot? Some says they are at the top.

He was above average in the genre of music he played in, but in reality he's not that great. Nowhere near as good as someone like Thomas Pridgen for example.
- You play drums?blaw
- I'm curious as to whether you were approaching this from an angle of knowledge or just running at the mouth.blaw
- From past posts, i'm guessing the latter, blawlocustsloth
- i think he's just a fanboy of Thomas Pridgenelektro

By the way, Ringo Starr is the best drummer ever, followed by Phil Collins.- Its not all that sad when emo drug addicts die.CygnusZero4

Was he in the possession of a white lighter?

its funny because every metal band think they have one of the best drummer in the world. They can actually do everything each others do.
