Damageplan's guitarist- "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was shot and killed. He was formerly from the band "Pantera" For full story go to www.KSTP.com[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

I am a huge fan of Dimebag (Pantera). Not everyone digs their stuff, but regardless, this is a huge loss in the rock/metal scene. I am speechless. Those who are a Pantera fan know, this loss hits hard. Right on the anniversary of John Lennon's murder, within 30 seconds of opening their set, in the middle of a song entitled "Breathing New Life", a guitar legend was lost. Unbelievable.

As my signature says, R.I.P. Dime along with the others who were wrongfully killed. Also remember those in the crowd who were hurt/killed. A 24 y.o. was killed as he went on to the stage to help those who were shot. Unbelievable.

 

that story sucks,,,,,almost as bad as the Great White fire a couple years back

my jaw hit the floor last night when i heard the news

Dimebag will be missed!!!!

 

It truely is a sad story. One has to feel for Dimebag and the others who lost they life senslessly.
I listened to Pantera up until they came out with The Great Southern Trendkill. I didn't like that one, and eventually I quit listening to them altogether, except for a few from CFH or Vulger Display every now and then. I went to they concert twice in St.Louis and it was two expierences I'll never forget. A few friends were in one of the vid's they made.

 

My question is where are the metal detectors? They do it at sports games but not rock concerts?

 

It wasnt a stadium..It was a club event and not enought security..Thats the worst part.. These guys are big..You should have a way to protect them...club,stadium,or where ever....RIP Dime
