The Rev AKA Jimmy Sullivan

I may not have known him personally
But I’m writing this in his memory
To his fans he was known as The Reverend Tholomew Plague
But unfortunately for us he passed at an early age
I’ll admit, I haven’t been an A7X fan for very long
But I can not deny I have been touched by their songs
From buying their CDs to seeing them at Sonisphere
I can not help but shed a tear
To me he was the best
Better than the rest
He was completely out of his mind
Yet we loved watching him all the time
A man who loved chasing a stallion duck
And seriously didn’t give a fuck
Shadows, Gates, Vengeance and Christ were blessed to work with this man
I unfortunately never got to shake his hand
Reverend, you were one of the most talented drummers I’ve ever seen
And I can’t believe you’re gone, I feel like I’m dreaming
I may have never met this brilliant man
But I have been touch by him as his fan
This is a sad time, but also a new beginning
Cause we know the M. Shadows will keep singing
Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates will keep shredding
And Johnny Christ will stay the little shit the Rev loved to beat up
Jimmy Owen Sullivan, as fan…
You may be gone, but your talent will live within your fans
As we link hands
In your memory…
