1. I dont think so. They didnt have a lot of time time too finish it... They announced they started working on it in late November. But with the holidays and all, it's doubtful they finished an album in a month

2. Im very sure that they will continue as a band. It's going to be hard to replace the Rev for sure, but maybe his death could inspire them to produce their best album yet.

3.That's a good comparison. I think they could if they find a drummer who doesnt copy the Rev and creates something new for the band. We have to be patient for them to find a replacement.

4. I think they will... plus Zacky Vengence and Synester Gates arent too bad at vocals either... they could just as easily sing his vocals.

5. Every article has said that he left behind a wife, so I would assume so

6. Sometimes people just fall asleep and never wake up (as cliched as it sounds).

7. probably not until his autopsy results come back.

1. Did they Finnish the Album? They were working on it.

2. If So Will They Release It..? I hope so... :\

3. Do You Think They Can Pull Through This Like Metallica When they Lost Cliff Burton? Well see the thing with Metallica is that they took all of their anger out on Jason. Basically, they blamed him for the incident and the death of their friend. I hope A7X will take some time off and make the right decision about the future of Avenged Sevenfold.

4. Will They Ever Find A Drummer Anywhere Near As Good As The Rev? Who Can Also Sing His Parts? I don't think so. And of course, things will never be the same.

5. Were Leana And theRev Still Dating? They were married, hun.

6. Did they Find Out The Cause Of Death? Last I Heard It was Natural Causes.. Same.

7. When Is The Funeral? I have no idea, but right now I beleive an autopsy is taking place...

1. I don't think they did finish the album

2. But I'm sure whatever they did get done on the album they will probably release it with the songs that are done, Wonder if it will be dedicated to him... =/

3. Only they can decide if they want to continue and pull through

4. I think they could find a new drummer but the original will always be the best! Look at Metallica when cliff Burton died they got Jason Newsted but he left than came Rob Trujillo and look they are still together.

5. Yes they were still together, must be really hard for her....

6. I've heard it was a natural death but there are rumors around too that it is still a mystery, they still have to do a toxicology tests to see if drugs played a role because of his penchant for cocaine and other drugs

7. There are no official reports about his funeral right now



I'm sad too May he Rock.In.Paradise *R.I.P*

...Dear God, I pray James "The Rev" Sullivan is in a little piece of heaven in the afterlife making the angels scream. He seized the day in bat country then burned it down, his unholy confessions trashed and scattered. We gave him the strength of the world and he gave a us a second heartbeat. He is MIA, but will ...walk on through thick and thin to the wicked end. May you be in eternal rest.

1. I really don't know, but I hope so.

2. See question one.

3. Maybe, but they've known each other for well over ten years, they're practically family and it's a hard hit for them.

4. Never ever ever, Jimmy is the greatest drummer to ever grace the Earth.

5. They're married, and it must be devastating for her.

6. Last I heard it was natural causes :/ but they have an autopsy scheduled.

7. IDK I doubt they have even scheduled it yet. see question three.



I am devistated as well, A7X is my favorite band.

I can't believe the great The Reverend Tholomew Plage is dead either. I as well feel like it's a horrible dream I can't awake from.

Sorry I couldn't answer more of your questions.:(



I keep playing A7X songs over and over and over and over..... and I keep crying. It's soooooo sad. :( I cry when I see a pic too, which since my profile pics are him it's a lot.

And right now it's A Little Piece of Heaven... Jimmy's song. :/



The Rev was my hero, I wanted to meet him, or at least go to an A7X concert and see him, but sadly never got the chance. I even had the dream of playing drums with him.



RIP James The Rev Sulluvan greatest drummer to ever grace Earth. You will be missed and eternally in our hearts and remembered. Have a kickass afterlife, may we have the pleasure of meeting you in our own afterlives. Rock In Paradise

I was just a s shocked to see it scrolling on the bottom of the screen on CNN this morning! The only questions I can answer for you is that they didn't find out a cause of death. They say autopsy reports were inconclusive. He and Leana were married according to Wikipedia.
