"Dimebag" Darrell Abbot Murdered on Stage

[Trajik 2600]

I guess that is one of the reasons why most bands suck these days?  I have never heard of this Dimebag fellow...  Perhaps young kids should listen to some real guitar players ie Stevie Ray Vaughan so all this new crap wouldn't sound the same.

If you've never heard of Pantera, I'm sorry. They're great. If you think he deserved to be shot, your attitude should be kept to yourself. Get the f*ck off my thread.

[Big Tex]

no I think anyone who likes the Texans shold be shot.? Dimebag was awsome.? Poor Damageplan.? Pantera was the shizzle.

My band's first real gig was tonight. What a sad way to remember this day...

RIP Vinnie & DB

can a mod merge these two threads?

Agreed, though it's usually not as bad in Canada. I've been to a TON of gigs and they always pat u down for weapons and check your bag. Obviously they didn't do that at this concert and someone should be held accountable

I get searched at every show I go to. I don't know how this **** happened.

[QuantumTrickery]

Most places around here pat people down, they just don't do it right. In general, the security guards are scared to pat other men down, or worried about intimidating women. Its been a problem for years, and weapons and other items get into concerts in many other ways besides the front gates. I don't ever see these kind of problems being solved, as all these venue owners are out to pinch every penny they can.

Did I say he deserved to be shot? NO, but when your name is Dimebag and you are associated with the scum of the earth your chances of getting shot are more than your average Joe. Of course I have heard of Pantera, never heard of this specific guy.

I only get searched at big venues. Clubs, no, not at all. I do hope promoters, managers, and owners get their collective **** together and demand better security. This shouldn't have happened. I feel like I've lost a friend. Jesus... it's so incredible.

Oh sorry, he was asking to be shot. F*ck off the face of the earth.

I live in Ohio and work in Columbus.....

Going to the news site seeing it was our NBC4 was a bit of a shock.

This isn't the normal for Columbus......... but

don't now what to say...

Do you think this guy would be alive if he chose to play in a country band instead of a heavy metal band and go by the name of Dimebag - hmmm....

No cause I'd shoot him for pussin' out on Pantera and playin' with a wussy ass country band to do a duet with f***in' Nelly or Garth Brooks. You needa shut up cause Pantera owned and had a lot more heart than any damn drunk ass whinin' country song. I come from the hometown of Buck Owens (the drunk) and country blows chode as do you and your idiotic opinions...

Big Tex has a point. You can grow up and stop acting like a hard-ass.

That's no kind of point. I'm not acting like a hardass. I'm acting like someone who had one of his idols shot 5-6 times point blank.

These boards have been of little use to me for the past six months. I empathize with those mourning this loss, but this will be my final post on Neowin. It truly has been overrun by garbage.

[Ji@nBing]

Lots of info and posts on Damageplan's message board. Some celebs dropping by to pay thier respects. Strangest one so far: Will Wheaton, Wesley from Star Trek: The Next Generation

[Big Tex]

I was just making a point, not saying that he should have been in a country band.

I am sure he made his millions and did plenty of drugs and sluts along the way. I hope that guitar skills and bank account are the only things you idolize in a punk like that, if not you'll have some serious problems down the road.

[Winter Dragon]

This ****ing sucks so much I love Pantera so much.

Rest in peace :cry:

At least you can stand up and call your posts for what they are, good for you. Have you even read the trash that you have been posting?

This person was just a guitar player, big deal. No better than anyone else. People die everyday, that's life, get over it already.

[Untouchable]

Wow, I can't believe people are actually supporting the troll who thinks he deserved to get killed. Pure idiocy. Can't believe you think that since he played heavy metal he should have some how expected being shot in the face. You're a complete idiot.

This is truly tragic, and disgusting. Some people are truly sick. And some people within this thread are truly idiotic.

[insanekiwi]

this can't be, friend of mine just told me he died. i was like oh, some serious sickness or stuff. then i read he was gunned/shot down :no:

rip.

Someone on their messageboard said the guy was yelling some **** about Dimebag being the reason Pantera broke up and that he ruined his life, then pulled out a gun and just shot him in the head.

Hmmm, so Lennon got shot because of why. Nice logic. And you say real music like Stevie Ray Vaughn, how about you picking a real football team to follow then talk.
