(Gates with The Rev, at Grade 8?)
Message from Shadows:
“I don’t know how to start this or know where to begin. 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. Jimmy was my best friend, as he was best friends with many other people including the members of Avenged Sevenfold. He was hands down the greatest person I have ever known. I told him I loved him everyday. He demanded your love and was never afraid to give it back. I have walked side by side with Jimmy, everyday, for the last 18 years of my life. I have no memories before Jimmy, and it’s going to be damn hard to move forward without him here.
“It still doesn’t seem real. He was my best friend, songwriting partner, band mate, confidant, and most importantly, he was my brother. The crazy thing about Jimmy was that everyday was a crazy story. We have told our favorite Jimmy stories for the last two weeks and never have we repeated ourselves. This guy was magical. The out pour of art from his soul was unlike the world has ever seen. Unless you spent a day with Jimmy, or 18 years, it’s impossible to explain, so I’m not going to try.
“He inspired people in different ways. He wasn’t just a drummer, he honestly didn’t care so much for the technical side of drums, cause he could play anything he wanted. He was all about creating beautiful songs, original fills and hopefully touching people with his art and mind. He told all of us for years, including his parents, that he knew two things in life. He wanted to be a rockstar, and that he wasn’t going to live past 30 years old. He was right on both accounts, but I know Jimmy, and if he knew how much pain this would cause for the ones he left behind, he would have done anything he could to stick around a little longer. Jimmy gave so much and in the end it was his time to go. All my reasons for wanting him to stay are selfish and I know he is in a better place then this, so in a way I’m joyful that my best friend is now at peace. He made it to the other side first and I can’t wait to hang with him again.
“I have so much to say but can’t find the words so I will wait until time can allow me to find a way to express myself. As for the rest of us, it has become clear what we need to do. We had just finished writing a record with Jimmy. I can’t promise what the future holds because right now it’s too painful to think about, but we know we need to record and put out this record in honour of Jimmy, for Jimmy. He would call me every night to talk about songs and tell me ‘this shit is gonna change the world.’ I agreed with him, unfortunately I didn’t know it would be on these terms.
“Please be patient with us for we cannot imagine how hard this is gonna be to get through, we just know we have to do it for his legacy. After that, who knows? But I know Jimmy will help us make that decision when the time comes. I love you Jimmy and I feel like the luckiest man in the world to have known you and spent 18 years of my life with you. Rest in Peace my friend.

Breathe if you think you've just had the time of your life at Green Day's. Billie Joe could have asked the crowd to punch themselves in the face and we would have done the same. Anything he commands! Such brilliant brilliant fantastic charismatic energetic and lovable entertainer, BJ and his band won the crowd over instantly just by showing their faces. His killer vocals throws your mind into a whirl, you'll never let yourself forget this wonderful night ever! First time in Singapore? Better not be the last time then!
Oh! and opening acts are a total waste of time, you're okay with the first song and when the singer just goes on and on, you get sick and tired and space out. Come on, it's not your night!
never thought i'd live to see this day
21st Century Breakdown
then kallang breaks down as well
waterguns, toilet papers and t-shirt shooters, GD should have fired 21 t-shirts into the air to salute us
amazing stage props and settings
belting out acoustic 21 guns and last night on earth puts you to tears
with the best company, what else could you expect?
our post-chelsea-match ground.
Me: * grabs a handful of Green Day confettis from the ground*
Anjax : "Its okaay char, I won't judge you"
HAHAHAHAHAA. She really knows how to make my day and night!
I won't say it's one of the best concerts ever because it's the last concert I've been to and you're supposed to say that. But 21 years of GD's existance, and 8 years of waiting......even if the gig had sucked, I would still say ITS THE BEST THING EVER! Watching them perform puts your soul to rest. I'm glad we had so much room for ourselves and could just stand back and enjoy the show, afterall, I couldn't and wouldn't want to ask for more. But honestly, how could a phenomenal band like them disappoint anyone? Next up, THE KILLERS!!!
-does the pain weigh out the pride? did someone break your heart inside, you're in ruins
