James Owen Sullivan (February 9, 1981 – December 28, 2009), professionally known by his stage name The Rev (shortened version of The Reverend Tholomew Plague), was an American musician, composer and songwriter, best known as the drummer, composer, songwriter, co-lead vocalist and founding member for the American heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold. The Rev was widely regarded and critically acclaimed for his work on Avenged Sevenfold albums, and contributed entire songs written and composed by himself, such as Chapter Four, Afterlife, "A Little Piece of Heaven" and Almost Easy. He was also the lead vocalist/pianist in Pinkly Smooth, a side project where he was known by the name Rathead, with fellow Avenged Sevenfold member and childhood best friend, guitarist Synyster Gates, and he was the drummer for Suburban Legends from 1998 to 1999.
Sullivan grew up and lived in Orange County, CA. He received his first pair of drum sticks at the age of five and own drum set at the age of ten. In high school, he started playing in bands. Before leaving to join Avenged Sevenfold as one of the band's founding members, Sullivan was the drummer for the third wave ska band Suburban Legends. At the age of twenty he recorded his first album with Avenged Sevenfold titled Sounding the Seventh Trumpet. His early influences included Frank Zappa and King Crimson. The Rev said in a Modern Drummer Magazine interview that "I was raised on that stuff as much as rock and metal."

First I would like to thank all the fans for their support through the passing of Jimmy. It has been comforting to see his fans, our fans, and everyone in general give their support.

I told him I loved him everyday. He demanded yo...

As part of an online feature from the Box of Stuff, I am pleased to share one of the best documentaries ever made. In 1995, the BBC programme 'Bookmark' focused on various authors, their successes and legacies. Produced by Nicholas Jones, this rare BBC2 documentary interviewed the Rev W. Awdry himself and shed light into 'The Thomas The Tank Engine Man', discussing his much-loved 'Railway Series', the TV Series it inevitably spawned, and the huge franchise it created. The documentary was repeated in 1997 shortly after the Reverend's death, and features comments from his son Christopher Awdry, Railway Series illustrator Peter Edwards, children's writer Michael Rosen, TV Series creator Britt Allcroft and those who sadly are no longer with us; Hilary Fortnam (the reverend's daughter, passed...
