Update from the studio from Zacky - Drums done and new tattoos

Straight from their MySpace:

Finished tracking drums with MP. They sound fucking amazing. Jimmy will be proud. Jimmy's also smiling knowing that Mike Portnoy has a deathbat forever tattooed on him. To show Mike that A7X is deeper then just a band I got one to match his. Jimmy would have done the same. Mike realized that our fans and friends are considered family. Being an A7X fan isn’t always easy because it means you’re not only gonna laugh with us, but cry with us and defend us on occasion. If you’re part of the family it's for life. Shads dedicated his right hand to our brother, without hesitation. I believe what we all share together is magical and wouldn't have it any other way...Ill try my best to keep you updated from the studio.
much love

Avenged entering the studio

Message straight from their MySpace:

A7X ENTERS STUDIO WITH MIKE PORTNOY

..I want our fans to know that with Jimmy in our hearts, our journey to record has officially began.  Jimmy helped leave this world an amazing gift and now it's our job to make sure to deliver that gift to our fans. We asked Jimmy's all time favorite drummer Mike Portnoy to record on behalf of him.  Mike said it would be an honor and without question that’s what Jim would have wanted. Its comforting to us that someone like Mike, who is undoubtedly revered as one of the best drummers in the world, held such respect and adoration for the Rev's abilities.  Even though it will never be the same without our brother by our side, his essence lives in our hearts and through the music he helped create.  He was a legend before any of the success or any of that bullshit and we are fucking excited to lay this down for our fans, and especially for Jimmy.

Deadline for the scrapbook is TOMORROW

All entries must be mailed by tomorrow to be potentially be added to the scrapbook which is being put together for Avenged, their family and friends to remember Jimmy by through the eyes of the fans as well as to show our support. 

Due to the massive amounts of pages,only some of them are going to make it in sadly.  However there is only so much room in a book, so please understand that.  If you'd like your page back or something, email the girls in charge at their gmail account to talk to them about it as soon as you can.

The book has an official and solid way to the guys now.  Chris the Body who does security and personal training for the guys has agreed to help get the book to the guys.  There is also an article about Jimmy being written that is going to mention this scrapbook.
