Yeah.....pretty ****ed up, and now reports are claiming this assclown claimed Vinnie's life as well.

Read it and weep, literally. Click the link below for full details.

Two members of the heavy metal band Damageplan were reportedly shot and killed, including Dimebag Darrell, formerly with the band Pantera, NBC 4's David Wayne reported.

No friggin way! Oh man I was just reading an interview with Dimebag in Guitar World magazine last night, about how he came up with the riff in Cemetery Gates. I really don't believe this, TWO great heavy metal bands killed on the same day. I'd do anything to get my hands on the ****ing dickless piece of shit that did this, too bad the cops killed him.

Man that sucks so much!
IM LISTENING TO CEMETERY GATES

I would like to offer my condolences to the band and their families.
Pantera, ATM are my favourite band.

That's terrible. Pantera was my favorite band for ten years and I've seen them four times.

I didn't hear anything about Vinnie Paul. I just heard (as of 7:00 this morning) it was just Dimebag Darrell.

What gives this a$$hole the right to take away someone like that forever? I am grateful for that police officer who shot him dead before he could do anything else. If anyone knows the officer's name, he should be considered a hero. What a tragedy.

This is really a tragic day.

I just heard about this on the radio while driving my brother to school...shit. Just....shit.

Right now there's 5 confirmed deaths -- Dimebag, the band's head of security (I believe that's what they said), two audience members, and the gunmen.

There were reports from bystanders that while this goon was wading his way to the stage, he was shouting at Dimes about he being the one that broke up Pantera, etc, etc. Most metal fans know Phil left Pantera behind, just like he left Down, Viking Crown, and someday, (god forbid) Superjoint Ritual.

It's cliched, yeah, but the metal nation is feelin' it. I just shudder to think what Vinnie saw go down right infront of him.

Yet another sad chapter in the book of rock and roll.

There are legends in rock and roll, all thoughout the history of it, and Dimebag Darrell was one of them. Nobody can deny that.

The times, they are a-changin'.


cornponious

This sad indeed. My bud is a big time Pantera fan. I better call him and ask him whutz up. This is terrible news.

ive seen pantera four times and they are a mad influince my band Nothing but Losers whats worse is the only channals not covering this right now are mtv and vh1 they fliped when odb has a balloon full of drugs blow up inside him or when some rapper gets shot but when someone from a band that helped build their station like dimebag or lane from alice n chaains die it barly gets a mention and now i was just watching the news and the ****ing reporter was like with a name like dimebag and it beeing a drug refernce that people like him should expect it when they run around in those circles

btw dont mind me im just very emotional right now so dont mind the rambling

Sad day for music

I'm so sad rigt now!! Pantera is one of my favorite bands of all time... Dimebag was amazing on stage. It was sad that the band broke up... and now this...

...insane days in did.

R.I.P. ''Dimebag''... we'll never forget you!

Minutes later, a Columbus police Officer James D. Niggemeyer entered the nightclub and shot and killed Gale, police said.

That's terrible, Pantera was an outstanding band and Dimebag was an outstanding guitarist, he will be missed greatly.

That is so ****ed up.

Some people dont deserve to live!! and this guy is certainly one of them!
im glad the cops killed him because he has taken away one of the greatest talents there is from the world

R.I.P Dime cry

I just cannot believe it!

RIP Cowboy from Hell! bawling

This suck so much, why would he want to kill Dimebag of all people?

I just saw a picture of the guy who shot Dime, The guy is a fat peice of shit.

6 People in all were killed, four from the crowd, 2 on stage. One of which was Dimebag and another one, either the drummer or guitarist.

Is there any way you could post the pic so we can see what this ****er looks like!

no... ****ing... way...

this is a sad day for metal...

Hey ChickinMeat do you play Half-Life's T.F.C. (Team Fortress Classic)?

IMO it is still a kick a$$ Mod/Game after all these years.

There i was last night, watching the Pantera home vids. I come online this afternoon and 90% of my contacts have there user name with * RIP Dimebag* Im ****ing shook up about it. Theres a Tribute night at The Gate in Swansea on friday night if anyone lives round there. Nothing but Pantera and damage Plan all night long. And, everyones having a shot of JackDaniels togethr at 10pm for him

R.I.P Brother, truelly an inspiration to all of us. You killed the trend, for that, I bow to you.

5 people were killed, 3 from the crowd, Dimebag and the vocalist of Damage Plan. The killer was shot dead by a policeman soon after.

I bet Dimebags kicking the shit out of that pussy in the after life and will do forever. Ill ****ing join in when I get there and if Dime hasnt already, personally cut his dick off.

I know really nothing about Dimebag, nor the band he was in, I have however heard a song by Pantera. lol. Look. http://vampirefreaks.com/main.php

Where did this all happen, I know at a concert, but what state?

Got this from a friend...



So, because he thought Dimes broke up a band that was sadly kind of losing thei edge in the stretch, he knocks off a guitar great. Premeditated, no less.

Shit. Heard about this and thought it was a rumor.

It's really shocking that a performer can actually be murdered on stage! This is ****ed up! Simple as that!

I'm totally shocked about this, its just not sinking in for me. Dimebag was supposed to just exist as long as he could keep banging out those awesome riffs. He's not supposed to be gone.

We'll miss you dude. You were one of the best guitarists that ever lived.

When you say that their head of security was killed too, I hope it wasn't Big Val. That guy was awesome too.

Out of respect for this great musician who was taken from us way way to early, I'm going to sticky this thread for an undisclosed amount of time.

Rip Dimebag, you were a metal god.

im going to have to make a memorial signature in his name, he was one of my main musical inspirations, even though i play bass.

RIP dimebag, your legend will live on through our memories!

yes, I'm going to get a Pantera sig to. The sad thing is that I havent seen a thing about him on Tv.

it hurts man, it really does...R.I.P. Dimebag. you will most definitely live on.

http://img26.exs.cx/img26/2880/dimebagcopy0ep.jpg

Well "mainstream" television could probably care less. FUSE is airing a Dimebag interview in their "Uranium" hour Friday night at 10/9. He shot it only 8 days ago. Guess when we see that, the surreality will set in.

This may sound kinda emo, but, I was at the video store tonight and saw "Pantera 3: Watch It Go" for rent, and I was reminded of Big Val and Dimebag's bets, in the lounge, where Dimebag dared Val to first do a "Sack Guzzler" (egg yolks), and then eat an entire birthday cake, Val said "No". Dime's said "Bullshit, if I raise the price!". I almost started laughing out loud.

Another good one was Dimebag dancing in his bathroom, flipping the light off and on, sayin' "STROBELIGHT!", and then he almost fell.

Good times. The more I think about it, the cooler he gets...and that sucks.

I remeber the Pantera videos, they were great. They're actually what got me into Pantera. My moms boyfriend gave them to me for like my 10th birthday

and only a few days ago Phil said he wished Dimebag would get bashed for breaking up Pantera. i used to think Phil was really cool, and i suppose he still is, but talk about acting like a wanker. another good DVD if you want some cool Dimebag is the Drowning Pool DVD, i've got it and its got them at Dimebags house setting off fireworks in peoples beds and smashing the neighbors cars and stuff like that. worth a look

RIP Dimebag

RIP-- cry

candlecandlecandle

I watched Watch It Go tonight in honor of Dime. I love the question mark that appears above his head after he says "if I raise the price..." like he just completely lost what he was saying. Classic! The best has gotta be when he jacks that guys car up that owes him money. He's such a scumbag Texan, you gotta love him. Big Val is awesome too, I always get that stupid theme song they make up for him stuck in my head.

If you see anyone picking their ear this week, remember to go "threeeeeeeee!" in honor of Dimebag.

they should have held the guy to the ground and got vinnie to push drum sticks through every major organ. imagine the poor guy havin to watch his brother get shot to death

thats exactly what i was thinking, i feel for vinnie man, poor guy

Just got an email from my brother saying that he heard about the following TV tributes to be aired tonight ( along with the HBB Saturday )

- Uranium ( Fuse ) Dimebag tribute feat. last known interview with Darrell - 8 PM

- Headbanger's Ball ( MTV2 ) tribute - 10:30 PM

Dimebag was great. A true pioneer.



weep

thats just sick, some dick thinks he can kill possibly the greatest soloist of all time, its just not on

i think the greatest tribute is on www.damageplan.com
a picture of dimebag, nothing more.

Yeah cry

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Me and my friends skipped school and played nothing but PanterA,Damageplan. R.I.H. Rock In Hell Dimebag I Went to 5 Live shows 2 from PanterA 3 from damage plan. I can't believe it still a VERY sad day in Metal Was Vinny Dimebag Brother? (if so that suck that you see your Brother die in front of your eyes.)


Also 24 Years ago John Lennon was killed the same day that Dimebag also got shot I think that this is all a big conspiracy what do u think?

There was no conspiracy

No conspiracy. The guy that shot Dimebag was a wanker, the guy that shot John Lennon was a completely unrelated wanker.

The guy who shot Dimebag was an idiot, he thought Pantera stole songs that he wrote.

should have shot phil then, even the nutters logic is compeltly wack

Just a reminder that the Headbanger's Ball tribute is on right now on MTV2.

I just watched the Uranium tribute on fuse. I have about 400 channels, but no MTV2. How ****ed up is that?

This reminds me of watching Mtv spring 2002.

Layne Staley dies, and all they show is scrolling words at the bottom during some programming which was not music by the way.

Lisa Left eye Lopez dies, HOLY SHIT!!! we're going to stop all normal programming,and show TLC shit all weekend. We are so saddened by this news Boo hoo.

This is what this world is, and therefore the hate becomes stronger

I know, someone who actually had talent, and made good music like Dimebag Darrell dies and all they do is show a few words at the bottom of the screen. But when a shitty pop singer that contributes nothing to the world of music dies it's a huge fiasco

~ Darrell "Dimebag" Abbott ~ 20 August 1966 - 8 December 2004, R.I.P dime.

Metal will never be the same, ever.

R.I.P <3

R.I.P. Dimebag <3

I recoard the headbangers ball thing for Dimebag Darrell also I just baught the live show of PanterA dvd. I also heard that thers a movie clip on the net some where that shows dimebag getting shot Ill try to find it but I can't promes you guys but I will try.

go have a look at the Drowning Pool DVD Sinema and check the section that Dimebag Darrell made as a tribute, its actually quite good and you see some pretty good Dimebag moments in it

really?

Cory...looks like Phiul may be done with music according to this MTV article / interview.

anyone know when the headbangers ball tribute will be shown in the UK?

Phil Said he could kick Dimebags Ass? Dimebag would beat the shit out of him. Phil is a douche.

Man thats to bad Dimebag darrol had talent and now hes gone

Phil is not a douche
but Dimebags would kick his ass

Phil can be cool, but he called Dimebag shallow, and said he deserved to be sevearly beaten. To me thats doucheworthy

phill was also turned away from the funeral by dimes family and has dicided to quit music
my band is also playing a Dimebag Darral meorial show

JD underground mother ****ers better watch out..as i go super sound..we under now about to fumble down to the floor here ill open the door and u can escort your way out onto the grass in my front lawn,.. just dont let the door hit u in the ass and dont forget the door knob

Whats that have to do with Dimebags death?

man i hate phil, to me he was the worst member of pantera anyway, on top of that hes a stuck up ass.

Man, i was away from the world for a few days and this happens. this is the first time I'm hearing about this, this is sick. Why in gods name would someone wanna kill Pantera (the guy wanted to kill the whole band as far as I understood)!?
...
well I found myself an answer to that...i think...don't take my word for it but I read that the guy (Nathan Gale) claimed that Pantera stole his lyrics and that's why he wanted them dead. Sick sick man!

I found a shitload of information here: http://www-personal.umd.umich.edu/%7Ealfieii/pantera/news.htm
for anyone who wanted the whole picture.

RIP Dimebag Darrell Abbott

What i heard is that the guy blames Dime for PanterA brake up back in 2002 or 3 i can't rember the year that pantera broke up.

I think Phil,Rex and Vinnie
should do a last PanterA tour in memory of Dimebag

Wont happen.

yea, Phil didn't even go to the funiral claiming he's 'not wanted' and Vinnie got shot in the arm, he may not be up to it...

Sorry, thats crap. Phil was not allowed to go to his funeral.
Dimebags family specifically requested that Phil was not to go.
It even says on the website that he will go to the public memorial.

but it wouldnt be the same without Dimebag

I forgot to share this with you guys. Most of you kmow about Dimebag's love for KISS.

Pantera Guitarist to Be Buried in KISS Casket

BTW, thanks for all the support in this thread. Good to know people care.

Thats so cool

not in this thread

Slipknot.... guess what












Merry Christmas xmastree tree xmastree tree

please stop

yea pantera were a good band i honestly think it's ****ing sad and those ****ers deserved to get their balls ripped off, i mean jesus christ dimebag was a awesome guitarist, this world is so ****ed up.

by the way i'd like to say. linkin park, slipknot, korn, cradle of filth and murderdolls ROCK. im so happy im seeing slipknot live on janurary the 20th and my b'day is on the 28th THEY FINALLY CAME TO AUSTRLIA YAY!

i made a mistake im seeing them on the 29th* they ****ing kick ass. joey jordison is the BEST drummer!. and a good guitarist *hes also in murderdolls* hes cute to but that doesnt matter. linkin park rock 2!

Linkin Park and KoRn suck. But the others you mentioned are great.

Just dropping my post in.

R.I.P Dimebag. You are missed.

I would have loved to see the shooter arrive in Hell to find Hendrix, Dimebag and other Rock greats waiting there for him, punching their other hand for intimidation effect. Then kicking the shit out of the bastard.

-AC

Im sure this is exactly how rock fans thought about Mark David Chapman(John Lennon's Killer)..the bastard

RIP Dimebag-another fallen soldier

we played a tribute to dimebag over this weekend everyband did a pantera cover it was awsome

I actually have pantera on right now, Drag the Waters

Huh, I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but it happened 24 years to the day after John Lennon was killed.

Dec 8? thats creepy....

Pantera sucks.

And it's not creepy, there are two possible explanations for that, it's just a coincidence, or the guy who did it was like "Hey I think I'll kill this loser Dimebag guy exactly 24 years to the day after John Lennon was killed."

you are a moron. Dimebag Darrell was one of the greatest metal Axe-men of all time. He wasn't a loser, he was an amazing person with a massive heart. He wasn't some idiot who died because he rammed drugs up his arm or in his nose, he didn't drink himself to death, he was taken from us far too young in a horrible horrible way. he was a terrific person from an amazing band and i am saddened that you have the gaul to come in and insult his memory in such a disgusting way

What tabby said.

I am appauled that he associated himself with and took part in such bad music.

Believe it or not there are people who are genuinely saddened that one of rock's most admirable figures (not only as a musician but as a person) no longer exists because of some dipshit. If you're going to be a dumb**** about it do it somewhere else.

haha! sorry but that was funny

everything i want to say to you can be found in my siggy.

not what darth raven said what Micheal said

i wasn't talking to you, when i wrote that it was going to be under micheals post.

Alright guys knock it off with the bashing. And for you Micheal. please post your opinion without any bashing or insulting anyone. In a way this thread is dedicated to the late Dimebag. Please use courtesy and be considerated to others.

WD

from the amazing debut of micheal i dont think they have any manners

You love me.

yeah, like the jews loved hitler man

How the **** can you not like Pantera, they were one of the best metal bands around. You really need to learn something about music if you hate Slipknot, Pantera, I'm guessing Slayer, But you like Bad Brains And evenge Sevenfold.

Take 3 days off from the boards Michael.

What did he say, was it about me?

Just keep it on topic Slipknot. If he returns with anymore flamming he gets a permanent ban.

ok

I think this is a video or a sound clip

from a 911 call- not sure - i cant watch it cause im at work...

but maybe someone else can check it out if you want..

maybe you have all seen this and im super slow sorry

anyways...

^ I cant get it to load right .. grrrr

I cried all the day when I heard the news.
It's been a while but I still get ****ed up when I think about it.

R.I.P Dimebag...

i'm getting "Dimebag 1966 - 2004" tattooed on my arm next week, i'll post a picute hopefully!

ouch = have fun with that tattoo

it dosn't really hurt, i know enough people who are pussys who've had tatts done so i'm sure i'll manage

I was planing on getting the slipknot tribal "S" on my arm, but I'm not

why not?

I was just wondering, are you guys certain you'll still like Slipknot and Pantera when youre 90 years old?

no but i'll remember that when i first got into music, back in the day, the first metal band that i really loved was Pantera. they were my metal gateway band. and really, you only live once dont you.

Yes, Pantera was one of the first metal bands I ever got into and I'll always like them. Same with Slipknot.

Well, just because thier not new, doesnt mean you cant still love em. Tell you the truth, I hate the new bands out these days, so I still listen to my Nirvana cd's that I got 10 years ago.
I personally would not get band tattoo because I mightnot like them 10 years from now. Also, you just branding yourself like people do when they wear Gap Shirts.

even so, its not like you cant tattoo over a tattoo if you really dont like it later in life, i've seen it done on my dad, he had a tattoo covered by another.

True, but why go through the trouble. I was going to get a tattoo of the band's logo. I was like, this would be aweseome because i love the band. They went soft a tad bit later, and know im not a big fan. I was like, "thank god i didntdo that.

No offense, but:
WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE EXPECT, ESPECIALLY IN THE F*CKED UP WORLD WE LIVE IN.....

anyway...

Smasandian i can see where your coming from, and i get what your saying. but i'm not getting a pantera tattoo, i'm getting "Dimebag 1966 - 2004" done, because while the love of a band might waine over time, the memory of dimebag as a amazing person who was an amazing guitarist from one of the first bands that got me into music wont. are you picking up what i'm putting down?

I was watching this TV show and this guy was so pissed off because in the 80's he got a "Poison Rocks!" tattoo

That just randomly turned into a porn link...

if this happenend to anyone else who wasnt famous you wouldnt care
and to keep to this forever locked philosophy who gives a shit hes an insignifigant ant who died he will be forgotten he wont be remembered like the great composers of the past iam heartless but move on wtf kind of name is dimebag who ever named him that wanted him to get shot
id rather cry about jfk now then ever think about "dumassbag"

this was the saddest moment of my life in years

he was my idol as a guitarist

Thsi my friends is a prime example of an *******

Thats what i intended
i feel ive done just what i wanted to do

Brandino,

Don't spout off in a Tool thread of all places, that people are idiots for not knowing about jungian theories, then come in here and act like a complete moron and display major ignorance.

-AC

your a dick.
and people originaly called him Dimond Darrell but it became Dimebag because of his marijuana buying habits.
to reiterate on my previous point thogh, your a dick

being a dick was my full intent

oh and alpha im a sociology student

So?

Means jack shit to me buddy. You still act like a moron.
