Aye.
Going to see them when they tour.
You hear what Rev died of?
On June 9, 2010, the cause of death was revealed to have been an acute polydrug intoxication due to combined effects of oxycodone (OxyContin), oxymorphone (a metabolite of oxycodone), diazepam (Valium), nordiazepam (a metabolization of diazepam) and alcohol.

I like Sounding The Seventh Trumpet and Waking The Fallen, but after that they went downhill.

That is pretty much down to opinion. I didn't really like the first two all that much.

Of course it's down to opinion. But after the first two albums, they sold out IMO, I hate it when metal bands sell out.AD_LFC wrote:ayvee1 wrote:I like Sounding The Seventh Trumpet and Waking The Fallen, but after that they went downhill.

Why? I've never understood that way of thinking. It doesn't mean the band isn't putting out good stuff anymore.

That's exactly what it means to the original fans. When a band sells out, they start putting out more mainstream music to attract more fans and sell more records, and in doing so they alienate their original fanbase, trading hardcore fans for a quick dollar.AD_LFC wrote:ayvee1 wrote:Of course it's down to opinion.

It's happened to many bands down the line; Trivium, Atreyu, Still Remains, Lamb Of God (although I can't decide if they sold out or they just got rubbish), Papa Roach, Linkin Park etc.

So you didn't like City of Evil at all? I know that alot of people didn't like their self-titled album though.

City Of Evil was sort of the turning point for me, I like some aspects of that album, but it set the precedent for the sort of music they put out now, which I personally don't enjoy.AD_LFC wrote:ayvee1 wrote:That's exactly what it means to the original fans.

Fair Enough
Well, Nightmare (the album) was quite different really. I know a lot of people that bought it in support of the band and Jimmy's passing. I did that, I didn't even know if it was going to be good. But it turned out to be a great album IMO. I know that some people think it's shit though. Have you gave it a listen?
