Pantera "dimebag Darrel" Shot Dead
"A gunman stormed the stage during a heavy metal rock concert in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday night, firing at the band and audience and killing four people before a police officer shot and killed him, police said. One of the dead was guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott. The gunman also wounded two people."

Actually, I read that he was an "ex-member" of the group and it was in a nightclub. He was playing with a new group called "Damage Plan." Also, it appears that abbott was the primary target. The other people were secondary targets. Once the guy was sure abbott was down for the count, he started taking out other people nearby. From what I can tell by reading the article he had a bone to pick with Abbott, then bezerked on everyone else. I may not have liked Pantera or even that genre of music, but to see someone go like that is really sad and I wouldn't wish it on anybody. Too bad the gunman got out the easy way by dying and won't stand trial for his crime.

I was driving all day, but on the radio they said that Fox News was talking some serious crap about it all. One anchor even went so far as to say that with titles named like some of Pantera's, he doubted Dimebag would even really be missed. Not to mention they were accusing the music of provoking the dude.

Yea....and all that fun action happened just mere hours (approx 4) from my current location. woot woot. Ugh...shakes head corn sniffing fool. They're already getting on our case about video games and they kind of slightly forgot about music, but this will bring the issue back up.

I hate when people do that, if anyone actually heard the music, it's there to make sure you don't do that shit. I f*cking HATE those lousy stupid Christian Fundamentalist bastards who go around saying metal/hard music is evil cause it provokes violence. It's untrue and ignorant, I am a devote Roman Catholic and don't believe any of that stupid shit they try and cram down peoples throats. The only thing that provoked the violence was that guys own messed up past. About the motive: From what I gathered, the man was mad because Pantera broke up (after a power strugle between Phil Anselmo(singer) and Dime and Vinnie(Guitarist and Drummer)) Dime and Vinnie got sick of Phils dumb-shit attitude and disbanded. Then after forming "Damage PLan" (the new band) this fucking psycho had to go all 'shit up in the head' and kill Dime. It's disgusting how fucking sick some people are. |

There is much better metal out there than Pantera. If anything they are mediocre in talent when compared to others. It's a damn shame he's dead, but thats really no reason to praise Pantera's weak attempts at metal. Now go on git, go discover some real metal.

Heh, I'm glad I got to see Pantera a few times. I hope Vinnie can go on playing, but I don't blame him if he quits.
My birthday claims another famous musician. (Dec. 8th is also the day John Lennon was shot and killed, same year I was born, I get to hear about it at length every year from my parents. :/) |

Death to False Music

"While most concertgoers rushed for the exits after Abbott was shot by a longtime fan of his former group, PANTERA, Nathan Bray (photo) jumped up on stage, held Abbott and tried to perform CPR, said Adam Vanover, 45, of Bellefontaine. "When (Bray) looked up at the shooter that's when the shooter shot him," Vanover said. Witnesses and police said a group of people tried to help those who had been shot after Abbott's band DAMAGEPLAN began playing at Alrosa Villa on Wednesday night. Police shot and killed the gunman, Nathan Gale, 25, of Marysville. " courtesy of blabbermouth.net |

A sad day, indeed. Darrell was a prodigy, without doubt, a unique style and a big 300w transistor amp (don't forget the Washburn axes, too). He will be missed by a lot of people.
I was fan of Pantera (while it lasted), so I almost went on shock when I readed this. He was killed the same day than J. Lennon, so the killer had that in mind... it's just plain sick. I just hope that Vinnie will get better and continue playing some f*cking good Heavy Metal. |

regardless..it was a tragic act of violence from one man Now promoters may have to pay more for insurance because of this idiot. The shooter truly hurt the music he claimed to love by taking things into his own judgement. I also feel sadness for the family, friends and fans of all victims including Dimebag He was truly loved and will be missed so very much. |
