Traduza\\ AVENGED SEVENFOLD's MIKE PORTNOY Meets THE REV's Family For First Time

Former DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy, who is currently on the road as the touring drummer for AVENGED SEVENFOLD, met the family of late AVENGED SEVENFOLD drummer James "The Rev" Sullivan for the first time when the band played at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, California on September 17, 2010. Beliefnet's Chris Epting, who was present during the meeting, wrote about the encounter, "Mike and [The Rev's father] Joe Sullivan embraced. Then Mike hugged [The Rev's mother] Barbara, and Jimmy's two sisters. There were tears. And stories. And lots of emotion. Mike told the family how much he feels Jimmy's legacy in the air each night they play. And what it means to him to be playing drums in the band. Joe expressed to Mike how much 'little' Jimmy adored Portnoy growing up. Some pictures were taken. More hugs. More tears. More sharing of stories.

"This was a very special moment in the middle of all the craziness, and a privilege to witness.

"It was a drummer honoring a family honoring a drummer — a cycle of love and appreciation — a moment in which two parents and two sisters were able to embrace the man that will now be linked with their son, in spirit and in music — foREVer."
