Ich kann es kaum glauben, Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan, Schlagzeuger von Avenged Sevenfold ist am Montag im Alter von 28 tot in seinem Haus in Kalifornien gefunden worden. Auch wenn diese Nachricht vielleicht nicht an Brisanz mit dem Tod von Michael Jackson mithalten kann, als A7X Fan bin ich tatsächlich sehr schockiert. Auf der offiziellen Website der Band findet sich bislang nur ein kurzer Nachruf, um über Zukunftspläne zu diskutieren ist es wohl noch zu früh:
“…Jimmy was not only one of the world’s best drummers, but more importantly he was our best friend and brother…”
Mein Lieblings Avenged Sevenfold Song und in diesem Zusammenhang garnicht mal so unpassend: Afterlife
Avenged Sevenfold – Afterlife Lyrics:
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you’ve seen,
So unsure but it seems, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you.
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste,
Of your afterlife here – so stay, you’ll be back here soon anyway.
I see a distant light,
But girl this can’t be right…
Such a surreal place to see,
So how did this come to be?
Arrived too early.
And when I think of all the places I just don’t belong,
I’ve come to grips with life and realize this is going too far.
I don’t belong here, we gotta move on, dear.
Escape from this afterlife,
‘Cause this time I’m right, to move on and on,
far away from here!
Place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain,
Can leave this place but refrain, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you.
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste,
of your afterlife here – so stay, you’ll be back here soon anyway.
This peace on earth’s not right, (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time… (I’m much too young to fall)
So out of place, don’t wanna stay,
I feel wrong and that’s my sign.
I’ve made up my mind.
Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye.
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life.
I don’t belong here, I gotta move on dear.
Escape from this afterlife,
‘Cause this time I’m right, to move on and on,
Far away from here!
Got nothing against you and surely I’ll miss you.
This place full of peace and light,
And I’d hoped you might, take me back inside
When the time is right!
Loved ones back home all crying ’cause they’re already missing me.
I pray by the grace of God that there’s somebody listening.
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be.
(I am unbroken; I’m choking on this ecstasy!)
Oh Lord I’ll try so hard but you gotta let go of me.
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live!)
I don’t belong here, I gotta move on dear.
Escape from this afterlife,
‘Cause this time I’m right, to move on and on,
Far away from here!
Got nothing against you and surely I’ll miss you.
This place full of peace and light,
And I’d hoped you might, take me back inside
When the time is right!
Ein fantastischer Songtext! Rest in Peace Jimmy und Danke für die Musik..
