The Rev was one of my biggest idols of all time! I thought he was the best drummer in the whole world!! I got a text message at 1 this morning saying that the drummer to my favorite band has died…and I just cried.
Dude I can’t believe he is gone. he was my idol. The only reason I started learning how to play the drums was because of him. When I was told this morning that he died I just broke down and cried. he will be missed by A LOT of people.
I found out that the rev was dead Tuesday morning and I couldn’t believe he was gone a7x will NEVER be the same, and does anyone find it awkward that most of these celebrity deaths are by “natural causes”?
omg how many celebrities died this year… :X
I could not understand! I felt so weird. Why did this happen was the first thing that popped into my mind. Why? Why is the worst thing you can ask. This was NO JOKE
OMG THIS WAS A JOKE I THOUGHT MY FRIEND WAS PLAYING ON ME BUT THEN SHE TOLD ME IT WAS REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:X R.I.P THE REV I <3 U
