Dimebag Darell (Pantera/Damageplan) Dead

OK, I don't know how many of you are metal fans but this has knocked me for 6 this morning.  If you have heard him play and guitar solo, and heard me do the same, you'll be able to hear is influence on me ... certainly when I'm playing heavy metal.


The guy was a drunken arse ... I am fully aware of that ... but his influence on so many of us in this genre is immeasurable and NO BODY deserves this, surely.


A sad day for me and I just wanted to get that little bit off my chest.


 


RIP guys.

It's pretty scary stuff.  The guy obviously had some sort of grudge - if Dimebag was a drunken arse, then it's likely that he ticked off a fair few people - but why he would then turn on the crowd is incomprehensible.  They were just there to listen to the music.


It's a shame that the guy was shot dead by the police - although he deserved everything he got, we'll probably never know what his motivation was and will never stand trial - sounds like an easy way out.


Reminds me that Stead and I were talking about the Hungerford massacre the other day.  There's just no way to prepare against something like that.

It appears that the guy had a grudge because Pantera split up - apparantly that's what he shouted about before shooting Dime.


I wasnt a huge fan but you can see his talent and Hengle is quite right, no one deserves this to happen. At least (and its a small least) he was doing what he loved best at the time of his death.


RIP Dimebag.


ROCK IN PEACE!
