In memory of James Sullivan (aka The Rev) I think all Avenged Sevenfold fans should get on the Itunes store and buy it at the little price of 79p!
Do your bit, show the friends, family and most importantly the fellow band mates; M Shadows, Synyster Gates, Zacky Vengeance & Johnny Christ love for the band and most importantly, for The Rev.

We are doing this NOT just because The Rev has passed away, but to show that REAL music can make it out there, I'm personally sick of hearing the same manufactured music in the charts, let's have something real and something different make it to the top.

From Sunday the 31st of January is the time to get buying the track! STOP buying it before Sunday the 7th of February. Then the number 1 will be aired on Sunday the 7th of February, 3 days before The Revs birthday, give him a birthday present to remember guys!

Invite your friends!

R.I.P. ♥

Just got this from the facebook page- the songs Seize The Day

Its got a good few months to build up and who knows what will happen? also it poses as a tribute

Over 4000 fans already. Hmm... it might reach 10000 by next week. I doubt they can get it to #1 though, it's not like there's an occasion around that time (except for The Rev's B-day) like a Valentines chart or something.

Not to take a huge p*** on your parade but yanno Rage Against The Machine sort of managed that already, it is a hardly a point as to why we should get it, it's already been proved real music can do it.

Anyway no disrespect to "The Rev" but he was hardly someone important to music, he was a drummer in a metal band who arent really anything special, hardly Michael Jackson is it, who didnt get to number 1 after he died (number 2 though).

And tbh I doubt A7X even have enough fans.

I admit they've got a long time to gear up for that and have a reasonable chance

The Avenged Sevenfold one is indeed growing quite fast right now too though - more than one a minute - if that's more than just temporary there could well be a rash of these things.

I'm interested in the skepticism... a lot of people thought the RATM campaign wasn't going to go anywhere either, even when they had over a hundred thousand members. The Avenged Sevenfold thing isn't for me but it's clearly got momentum - the Sex Pistols one is I think a really good idea.

I've got a bigger idea though happy.gif

It's in memory of The Rev, not because we want to see something different, although it will be a breath of fresh air too.

He was a lot to music, one of the best drummers from a very popular band might I add.

And tey have LOTS of fans in the UK, 24,600 members of that Facebook group already, and around 10 new ones every minute or so...you do the math. still a month to go until the group starts downloading the single. When that happens there will be at least 50,000 members, enough to get it into the top 5 at least.

Its a shame none of those 50,00 fans bought any of their singles, because maybe then 1 of their 5 singles that entered the chart would have got higher than 44. These whole campaigns really annoy me. Im a huge Kylie, Madonna, Pink etc fan but im not going to all of a sudden buy there music again or expect others just becuase they died. If you like a song then buy it, not just becuase something bad has happened.
