He was great. mexico loves you. ever! And I to have wondered when my next meal will be but I always knew if nothing else I always had my music and when I was diagnosed with my skin disease I cried for hours listening to Avenged. I was completely distracted by two song titles that were longer than the rest, that truly stood out to me: I Wont See You Tonight Part 1 and Part 2. my heart thoughts and prayers go out to his family and to the rest of the guys of A7X he will be missed dearly :'( THE ABSOLUTE BEST DRUMMER EVER! Im sick of the deaths, R.I.P. keep holding on. Die For The Bat. his family?!

You will always be remembered throughout the years. ps watching old a7x videos doesnt help, ive cried all day and night watching them. I cant believe Im writing this, right here and right now. They invited Jimmys favorite drummer and idol, Mike Portnoy (former Dream Theater drummer) to help with the drum session. Incredible musician, writer, and genuinely nice person. If anything, the band would likely see it as their duty to continue doing what theyve been doing for so many years in order to carry on The Revs legacy. :( Such a badass drummer. I put my hand over his signature and cried, because its the only thing I have thats personal from him. R.I.P. where is the funeral being held?? i thought i was seeing things lol.
