    Just want to note that the studio versions weren't recorded with triggers or his own kit. He used a small kit with extremely thick maple shells to get that tight "pop" sound in the snare on the album, his drum tech talked about it on a forum a while back, they overtuned a 9 ply maple snare as far as they could and tuned the bass and toms way up so get a "lead" drum sound.

      You’re completely wrong. His cause was of death is 100% confirmed to be an OD on opiates with alcohol usage. He was found dead in his house and never died in a hospital. His autopsy also confirmed that the cause of death was an accidental OD, and incidentally noted he had an enlarged heart due to years of drugs use and alcohol use. He had a serious cocaine addiction which caused his enlarged heart. He had no physical issues aside from years of struggling with addiction. He had been to rehab many times and he had a relapse which led to an OD. The band members have all said this. This autopsy has said this. I don’t know why people keep spreading this misconception that he died a slow, painful death or that he was suffering due to his enlarged heart. You don’t FEEL an enlarged heart. He died peacefully in his sleep after he stopped breathing due to the overdose of opiates and alcohol. The uploader of this video is entirely right.

      @@jonathanbishop6205 he was never born with an enlarged heart. You don’t get born with an enlarged heart. Your heart grows with your body. Hearts enlarge due to the usage drugs like cocaine and alcohol. There are many stories of him doing lines of cocaine as thick and long as pencils. It’s called drug induced cardiac hypertrophy. And it was an accident according to the band members. He was having troubles singing his lines in the studio due to all the vocal damage from the alcohol he drank (alcohol causes heartburn and the acid damages the vocal cords). He never intended on committing suicide and Brian, Zacky, and the Rev all had a sober party the day before his death. He did struggle with anxiety and depression but his death was an accident. The usage of opiates and alcohol causes something called respiratory depression. Your brain stops telling your lungs to breathe and you suffocate in your sleep. This is just how drugs and addictions work. People keep spreading rumors about it having to do with his heart, but it was simply an accidental OD, nothing more, nothing less.

    Jimmy had an enlarged heart and chose not to share that with his bandmates. He knew his time was short. My best friend also had an enlarged heart and never told us. He passed away from a massive heart attack during a seizure at age 24.

    Well, you have to keep in mind that he had an enlarged heart which would cause a painful death and was told that he wasn't going to live that long so he OD not because he was necessarily hooked on drugs but rather to end his life in a more peaceful way as you can say.

  • @Britton_Thompson
    @Britton_Thompson Год назад +1

    There are several reasons why The Rev wasn't confronted over his drug use :
    A) The rest of the band (and their respective significant others) were largely indulging in the same lifestyle at the time, and they couldn't notice anything out of the ordinary
    B) The rest of the band didn't know he'd begun doing opiates, benzos, and other pharmaceuticals in the months leading to his death. They just assumed his drinking had increased (which it had, by the way). Plus, Jimmy had always been a party animal since he was a teenager. Everyone around him has since stated that in retrospect, it wasn't so much that Jimmy was keeping it very well hidden, but that they were never checking for it in the first place. It'd been part of his everyday lifestyle for so long that they didn't notice he was crossing a threshold
    C) It most likely wouldn't have made a difference anyways. Jimmy was always so anti-authority that he wouldn't have responded well to a potential intervention. If anything, it almost certainly would've encouraged him to crank it up even higher just to prove a point. He would've tried to demonstrate that they were the ones who were being ridiculous and unreasonable. Jimmy was an eccentric, anti-authority shit head by nature. He couldn't help it. He'd been that way his entire life. If they tried an intervention when he was drinking a liter of vodka, snorting 2 grams of cocaine, and taking 100 mg of Oxycodone a day, he only would've started drinking a gallon of vodka, snorting an eightball of cocaine, and swallowing 150 mg of Oxycodone a day just to prove a point that they should now feel dumb and embarrassed for stepping when they did

  • @Southboundpachyderm
    @Southboundpachyderm 4 года назад +1

    Thanks for the PSA, brother. Depression and addiction are very real things in todays world. We can argue about the causes, but I'd say the primary one is that young people especially are growing up in a fucked economy and finding a way to feel fulfilled and happy is difficult in a world where we are constantly bombarded by images of wealth and excess through social media and TV. Ultimately I think what matters most is learning to love ourselves. As someone who continues to struggle with severe mental health problems I can attest to how much happier I was when I was in a band and had that comradery with brothers and sisters who love music as much as I do. It's hard to love yourself. I sure as shit haven't mastered it or even come close to it, but what matters is the pursuit of it. I've lost my bands and a lot of my friends because of an abusive ex-girlfriend and then realized how miserable I was at my job too. I've pretty much self isolated for the last 6 years and it's really made it difficult to go back out into the world and be around people without feeling like an alien. Music is the only thing that keeps me grounded outside of my mother and sister. I always tell people that I study politics to help with and communicate to other people, and that music is how I communicate with myself. Maybe a weird combination but just the hope that I can help educate more people around mental health and how it''s attached to politics, voting and the economy goes well with my music which has always been my source of internal rebellion. We all need to take better care of each other and stop making everything in our world so transactional. We need to realize that every single human no matter what had no choice in being born, and because of that we all have an inherent right to a happy and fulfilling life. We get so little time to view and listen to the beauty of this world and we spend too much of that time fighting against each other when our real battle is with the politicians and leaders who fight against every little gain we normal people try to make. We all need to realize we're in this life together and we owe it to one another to take care of each other. I've lost so many good fucking people to suicide and overdose in the last 5 years. I'm so tired of feeling like the world doesn't care about those people or puts some kind of social blame on them for being the way they are instead of asking what's causing the conditions that create and foster addiction and depression. We're all underpaid, overworked, and underappreciated as the backbone of the world. Citizens are left to die in misery just for the sake of a few people getting enormously wealthy. We've got to change that and refocus our economy on providing maximum fulfillment and happiness. Labels shouldn't get to rob artists like they do, they shouldn't get to hide the fact that they feed addictions to keep a musician playing rather than getting that person help. If they do get them help, they send them off to scammy ass resorts that take advantage of addicts for a profit. It's completely fucked that everything in this world boils down to spending money and whether or not you can afford things, and I'm willing to bet good money that's exactly what put Jimmy down his path in the first place. He was a great soul, and it sucks to have lost such a talented and kind person before their time.
