#Avenged sevenfold so far away jimmy manual#
Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed.Joe: “Every show they still play songs from Nightmare and they pipe Jimmy’s voice in just a little bit, just keeping him there. We talked to Matt and we said, ‘Even if this is the last album you do, you’ve got to put it out.’” I didn’t want to see it go away and I really wanted that last album out there. Jimmy had written a lot of that last album and they had built up a band. What were your thoughts on the band’s decision to continue without him? It must have been difficult.īarbara: “We encouraged them. Joe: “The thing I remember was a text: ‘Pray for Zimmer.’ He and his girlfriend had this rabbit and the rabbit was sick or had an eye infection or something and I get this text from my son: ‘Pray for Zimmer.’ I knew I had to keep that one.” He bought a car, he bought a condo on the beach, the band got their gold record and was a success and he goes, ‘I need a new goal, mom.’” He had eye surgery so he could see without glasses.
In his last few days, he said that he needed a new goal. ‘Turn on the radio! Turn it on!’”ĭo you recall your last conversation with Jimmy?īarbara: “I really do. ‘Our song’s on the radio!’”īarbara: “They were so excited. They called us from a bus once when they were heading out of town because it was the first time that KROQ played Bat Country. They had a lot of talent and I think they deserved it. How did you feel when Avenged Sevenfold started to get famous?īarbara: “I thought it was fantastic. A full-time musician is what he was born for, so it wasn’t a surprise.” We were hoping along with him that he’d find a way to be able to play. Joe: “It couldn’t have been any other way. How did you react when he decided to become a full-time musician? When he was five, I signed him up for drum lessons with a local drummer, and he wouldn’t give him lessons after the first couple of times because Jimmy played with abandon and the teacher said, ‘I’m going through too many drum heads and Jimmy’s going to ruin my rims.’” When did you first notice he actually had a talent for this thing?īarbara: “Right away.
He’d stand there with a little fake guitar, singing to the music on his little Fisher-Price record player. Joe: “Sammy Hagar, I Can’t Drive 55, Tom Petty.”īarbara: “He played music constantly. (Image credit: Peter Kramer/Getty Images)
