In your opinion*

[Amnesiac]

I understand that he died, yes, but don't you think everyone should be over it by now? My god, it's been a fucking year. Unless he stands the test of time like John Lennon or Jim Morrison, I don't think we should be celebrating his death constantly.

This is my honest opinion, I'm sorry if it offends you. But just because the drummer for some less-than-amazing band died doesn't mean we have to mention his death every time the subject of music in general comes up. I see A7X fans everywhere constantly talking about his passing as if it's some great tragedy that we should talk about non-stop, but in reality, it's just another person dead. What did the Rev do that makes him as important to remember as the other rock stars I mentioned earlier? A7X is not a good band. They haven't done anything revolutionary for music, on the contrary, they're counter-revolutionary.

Oh wait, I forgot this happened. You know why I forgot this happened? Because no one cares anymore. I mean, who the hell cares that the guy died? So what. He's just another death. Besides, the band he was part of did nothing incredible in the music industry other than sounding like guitars with too much feedback. It's not like the whole band died. Even then, it would all just be regular deaths. This happened, what, a year ago? Why on earth is this even relevant anymore? This is nothing new, it's as old as the dust on my shelves. Move on, forget it.
