Avenged Sevenfold

Last Saturday on the 28th of April 2012, Avenged Sevenfold came back, they fucking came back omg asdkfjhdkjfhdkjfhf! Emily flew down from KL to see the show with us, amazing the band was much more stronger than before, their performance were outstanding, Arin was amazing, I love him being in the band, I can't imagine anyone else playing the drum besides Arin and he's cute :3

The day started with fetching Em from the airport meeting Shi Pei and Han there, went to Bedok corner because of reasons, heh. Meet Intan at the carpark and drove to Orchard to meet Ras and chill. Reached WRS at around 5-6plus chill and smoke, we didn't join the queue until around 7ish when the line started moving, the line was quite fast maybe around 30mins to get in? I was so excited i'm very jumpy and what not. When we got in the place wasn't as big as i thought but i kinda like it cause it feels more personal with the band. :)

No opening band this time which is awesome, straight to the good stuff! Like every other concert opening song was Nightmare and so on. I really like it how the fans sing to So Far Away's guitar solo it's unbelievable, my words didn't do justice to my feelings for the concert it's just amazing, I would definitely want that night to be replayed over and over again.

DID I MENTION ARIN IS SO CUTE? I wish i could meet him in person to tell him that he's amazing, even he himself knew he can't replace Jimmy, such a humble guy. I want to meet him so bad. :(

Here's a picture of us before the concert :)

Ryan, thank you so much for updating my header xD.

Now let talk about my favorite number one band~
AVENGE SEVENFOLD and Jimmy's death.

It's was in year 2002 when I'm having an "identity crisis" not sure about my music taste or what style i am into or whatever shit. I have to admit that Avenged Sevenfold was not my first "hardcore" or "metal" band that i listen too. It was Lacuna Coil, ohh how i lovee Christina's voice. I tried to copy her style as much as i can, i had long curly/wavy hair (probably the longest hair i had in my life), I bought eyeliner and red eyeshadow (cos in her MV Heaven's A Lie she wears red eyeshadow) and i bought fishnets. LOL CAN YOU IMAGINE? HAHAHA. Yea I love the band i love the music and the style but i still wasn't so sure. I mean it's all too girly and i'm quite the tomb boy you know.

Amd also in 2002 someone introduce me to Avenged Sevenfold, they just re-release Sounding The Seventh Trumpet. The very first time I hear Warmness On The Soul my heart just fell in love with the lead vocals name Matt Sanders (we in the a7x family don't call them by their stage name). I'm in love with Matt and his voice. LOL and i can't get over how fast Jimmy's drumming is. He's like the Beast of all beast in drumming. HAHAHA. Brian and Zacky for me is like the best guitarist in the whole world and Johnny? He's badass on that bass!! OHMAGAWDD MY WORLD JUST FLIPPED FROM FISHNETS TO A7X Shirts, skinny black jeans, studded belts and Lots of eyeliner. My hair is still long. I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM WITH I DON'T KNOW, EVERYTHING I GUESS?

Soon they release more album and it's only until they are going to release the self-titled album they came here. THEY TOURED IN ASIA AND THEY CAME HEREE!!! OMG I'M LIKE OMGGG THEY ARE COMING! It's was the very first SINGFest. They performed for 45mins, but those 45mins is the best 45mins of my life everrr! I keep dreaming about them for 2 whole weeks! During the band's set a bunch of people accidentally broke the barricade and Matt said "We'll promise to come again for that broken barricade" but i don't think they'll come again, I mean it's Singapore how could a band like A7X wants to come back?? I WAS WRONGGGG WAYYY WRONGGGGGG. A year later i got the news they are coming again, this time it's their own show!! I'm going crazy like ASDHJASKDHASJKDHASJKDHSAJ. I bought a new shirt just for that show. It was pretty epic i loveeee every min of it. It's like when you are thirsty and you get an icy cold drink or when you get to eat ice cream on a hot day~ ohmygawd that feeling you know~

November 2009, the band's recording some new sounds for the new album, as usual every fan is very very very excited for a new album.

28/29 December 2009. The year/day all things come to an end for Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, I receive the news from my brother over text message.

Brother: Eh, A7X drummer's name is The Rev?
ME: Yea, why?
B: He's found dead in his' home.
M: WHAT? ARE YOU SURE?
B: Yea, James/Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan right?
M: *Burst into tears* Whatt?? Nooo! It can't be!!

I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS TRAGIC NEWS UNTIL I GET HOME AND DO MY OWN RESEARCH.
It was true my brother isn't lying. Jimmy is dead. The media said he had overdose with painkillers and alcohol, I believe he died naturally. He once said that he won't live until 30 years old, he died at the age of 28. My world crumble at this point of time, I still can't believe it! With the help of OUR FAMILY all over the world i cope better, their encouragement help me through this sad and dark times. WE encourage Jimmy's family and his band through this dark times. Jimmy will foREVer be in our hearts.

Along come Mike Portnoy, drummer(Dream Theater) and one of Jimmy's idol, help the band completing the new album Nightmare. Memories of Jimmy written all over the album art and songs. Few months after MP toured with A7X Arin came, cute guy seems like everyone welcomed him with open hands and hearts. And that's all i can say for now. Still waiting for the band to return with Arin :)



Labret piercing is my tribute to Jimmy <3
