In light of the (sort of) recent death of Avenged Sevenfold's drummer, Jimmy Sullivan (The Rev), and unfinished business, it has been announced that Mike Portnoy, drummer of Dream Theater, Jimmy's favorite drummer, and arguably one of the world's best, is entering the studio with Avenged Sevenfold.
Article.
To me, this is amazing news. I love both bands, and they are two of my favorite drummers ever.
Discoss.

l-Kriel-l Ribbin No one can replace The Rev for me. I don't get it though, is Mike stepping in to finish the album? Are they finding a different drummer for the future? Just to finish the album. I agree, no one can replace The Rev, but if anyone has to, Mike is the best fit. Also, from what I've heard, the drummer of Slipknot is helping as well.
Ah, when I first heard the news on facebook I thought it was Mike stepping in to replace him. Then I thought, wtf would the drummer of Dream Theater join A7X? Hah, but yea, if they're half done the album, it makes sense to get Mike to finish it. I have no qualms against that. I just kept picturing the band line up.
M. Shadows
Synyster Gates
Zacky Vengeance
Johnny Christ
Mike Portnoy..... wtf?
If they continue as a band after this though, I won't have the heart to follow. With The Rev starting to do vocals and everything in their last album, they were turning into something pretty amazing. And his drum style is just too amazing to live without. I still like Waking The Fallen better than any of their new stuff, but they were turning into something pretty decent. And without Jimmy I have no interest in it. |

Jimmy's vocals in Critical Acclaim is the best thing that Avenged Sevenfold has ever done in my opinion.
His voice was amazing.
Not counting his drumming or Syn's guitar. |

I like their newer stuff better than Waking the Fallen, but you're right. Without the Rev, it just won't be the same.
Also, you're speaking somewhat in circles. First you say A7X is "turning into something pretty amazing" due to their recent albums, then you say they're "turning into something pretty DECENT" for almost the exact same reason. xp
Also, cool to hear that, if it's true, Joey Jordison of Slipknot is helping out as well. He ain't the best drummer on Earth like all his ******** fanboys claim, be he's certainly wicked skilled. |

Well what I mean to say is that they're turning into something really awesome, just something I'm not that interested in. They're evolving into a more intelligent band, but I miss the unintelligent stuff. Waking The Fallen had the most repetitive guitar riffs, but it was still my favorite. As they get more talented and more open to new ideas, they stray farther away from my interests. |

Dino Pakkun Ribbin Dino Pakkun This is gonna make me look like a total d**k but I don't think it could be that hard to replace a drummer... >_> Easy to replace, but there specific style will never be like The Rev. *shrug* I like A7X more for their guitar work anyways. I mean, it sucks that he's dead, but I really don't think it's gonna change the sound of their music all that much. but maybe i'm just stupid
I agree, A7X was more famous for Synyster Gates.
The Rev did have a style, though. Heavy bass drum and lots of cymbals.
It won't change the music that much, yeah, but this means they can't continue as a band.
So...actually, it'll change the music greatly. >_> |
