* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]:
** It's a little unsettling to hear The Rev say "You'll never see me again" in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tPPM4UfWmk this interview]. Also, the song [[Tear Jerker|"Fiction"]] definitely counts even though it was released after his death, as it was the last song he wrote and the song is told from the point of view of someone recently deceased saying goodbye to their loved ones. To add to the eeriness, it contains the very last vocal and piano tracks he ever recorded and is the only song on the album that features his voice and playing. Well that, and this quote:
{{quote| '''M. Shadows:''' "The new album, Nightmare, is dedicated to The Rev's memory and although it's not exactly a concept album, it does center around The Rev. The eeriest thing about it is there is a song on the album called "Fiction", which started out with the title [[Funny Aneurysm Moment|"Death". And the song was the last song The Rev wrote for the album, and when he handed it in, he said, that’s it, that’s the last song for this record. And then 3 days later, he died]]."}}
** Not quite - he'd actually been writing the song for several years, referring to it as his masterpiece.

* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]:
** This quote from Revolver's Avenged Sevenfold collector's edition:
{{quote| '''Synyster Gates:''' "Yeah, he fucking planned it all, that crazy fuck. Knew he was gonna be gone before 30. He told my dad that he was fucking out. He said, "I know two things: I'm gonna be in a famous rock band, and I'm gonna die before I'm 30." He told my dad that at 15." }}
** The song Brompton Cocktail. For those unaware, it was written by The Rev about a man who will die due to something wrong with him and is given a Brompton cocktail (a mix of morphine or heroin, cocaine, and alcohol) to relieve the pain. The Rev was found with OxyContin, Valium, and alcohol in his system when he died; his enlarged heart was either considered part of the reason why he died, or [[Epileptic Trees|he used them to make sure he wouldn't die suddenly from the aforementioned heart defect]].
** It's often said of him that he had a "huge heart", like a kind heart. He also had an enlarged heart, which partially lead to his death.
