Dimebag Darrell shot DEAD
I was on the Troma website and read the Dimebag was dead. Found this at http://www-personal.umich.edu/~alfieii/pantera/news.htm
12/09/04 Reports are coming in from Columbus, Ohio, where an alleged shooting occurred at Alrossa Villa, the nightclub where Damageplan was performing tonight. The earliest reports indicate that Dimebag Darrell and one other band member were among those killed. The following is posted at the Web site of WCMH TV Channel 4, the NBC affiliate in Columbus at http://www.nbc4i.com/news/3983630/detail.html (video report here) At Least 5 Dead, 2 Wounded In Nightclub Shooting Witnesses: Alleged Guman Went Onto Stage, Fired Shots POSTED: 10:32 pm EST December 8, 2004 UPDATED: 1:40 am EST December 9, 2004 COLUMBUS, Ohio -- At least five people died and two others were wounded after a shooting at a Columbus nightclub on Wednesday night, NBC 4 reported. The shooting took place shortly after 10 p.m. at Alrosa Villa, located at 5055 Sinclair Road. 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. The other band member's name was not released. The alleged gunman also died at the scene, Wayne reported. Columbus police Sgt. Brent Mall said the alleged gunman appeared to be targeting the band members. After shooting at the stage, the gunman opened fire on the crowd. At that point, an officer shot man dead, Mall added. Police said there could have been many more fatalities had the officer not killed the gunman. Shortly after the band began playing its first song, a man reportedly ran onto the stage and began shooting, according to a witness who identified himself as Sean. Some members of the audience reportedly thought the man running onto the stage with a gun was part of the band's act, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported. Witnesses said that several shots were fired at the band. Witnesses said that a bouncer at the club tackled the alleged gunman before that person was shot and killed. NBC 4 reported that of the surviving victims, one person was in critical condition while the other was in fair condition. Several others were treated at the scene, suffering from various injuries. Alrosa Villa is a popular north Columbus nightspot for young adults, featuring rock and heavy metal bands, NBC 4 reported. According to the band's Web site, Damageplan was touring nationally. It performed in Buffalo, N.Y., on Tuesday night and had a concert scheduled in Flint, Mich., on Thursday. Damageplan featured former Pantera artists Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul. The pair were joined by vocalist Patrick Lachman and bassist Bobzilla, according to their Web site. Some crazy shit going on in the world. The thing I find interesting is that I didn't see anything about this on the news in NY or even on MTV. Pantera was one of the best most influential metal bands and a former member dies and there is nothing on music television. I bet if it were Brittney everyone and their mother would have reported it. R.I.P. Dimebag

I heard this soon after I woke up (4 AM) and was disgusted.
By the way, there is a story about his death at the top of MTV.com's news page and has been there since about 7 AM.

Anyway, when I heard about this in the morning, I didn't believe it till I read the news for myself. Dimebag was one of the reasons I actually picked up a guitar. The man is a god damn legend among guitarists everywhere. This is just absolutely fucked up. We have security guards in schools that will tazer a child for having a shard of glass, yet when someone pulls out a gun with someone in a headlock, and then shoots someone five fucking times point blank range, nothing is done? How did the guy even get into the club with that much ammunition? 7 people were shot, and reports say Dimebag was shot five or six times. That's atleast 12 bullets. Did they have ANY security at this club at all? I guess I'm just more angry at the fact that there's actually people in this world that would do something like that. I mean, it's one thing to murder a single person, but to murder five people, in front of a club... And, I don't want to make it sound like the others didn't matter... But DIMEBAG DARRELL for fuck's sake!!! I hope he rests in peace. He will definately be missed among the metal community. As for the fucker Nathan Gale, I will be there to piss on his grave the second he is in the ground. BTW, this whole thing is a bit eerie to me also because I just saw Damageplan here in Milwaukee two weeks ago and I actually got to shake the mans hand. And everytime I look at pictures of that night, I just get this really strange feeling.

If the rumors of that asswipe killing Dimebag because he "broke up Pantera" are true, that shitface killed the wrong guy. He should have gone after Phil. That's like killing Slash for breaking up Guns N Roses. That deftones6 should be beat to death by a rubber dildo (thank you Mr. Carlin). :mad:

This is with-out-a-doubt one of the craziest days of my life. Dimebag influenced all of us in my band. We sat here and listened to all the Pantera albums and of course the new Damageplan CD. If you listen to track 11 on the Damageplan album listen to the lyrics just listen how eeire and crazy they are. I am in awe that this shit would happen and I second the motion that Keith is feeling right now....we are all pissed and Nathan Gale was a piece of pussy shit that went psycho.....I am glad that the cop shot him in the face with a rifle but I would have been happier if they got him alive and let everyone who knew Dimebag would be able to beat him to death but that would even justify what just happened.....My condolences go out to Vinnie and everyone elses family would lost someone Wednesday night.
Dimebag we will miss you..... R.I.P Darrell "Dimebag" Abbott [August 20, 1966 - December 8, 2004]

No assholes, I have NO clue whoPantera is! oh yeah and what came after Pantera....hmm Superjoint maybe? Good friends and a bottle of pills, maybe one of the best Pantera songs ever. Maybe you've heard of it.Dimebag was a prick. I'm not saying he deserved to die. he was an asshole. I've seen DamagePlan on several occsasions. I'm not saying anything about the music. Pantera, Damageplan, superjoint,etc. I love it all. How could you not. But like I said he was an asshole.Let's be honest, how many of you would be crushed is Axl Rose were shot....yeah that's what I thought. Oh an um...NirvanaNole. Let me know when I can get that rubberdildo out of your mom's ass. You guys can go fuck yourselves.

this is fucking sad. Every musician I know has been influenced by Pantera. Dime was a modern guitar marvel. his riffs were uncompromisably simple yet not just anyone with tabs and a dean v could crack the code that was the dimebag style. He was up there with in the ranks of Zakk Wylde and chuck schuldneger. Some of the few modern guitarist the really knew/know how to play a guitar. It's just sick that some ignorant fuck could do this. well R.I.P Dime.
by the way has anyone found exactly why Nathan shot him?
