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.

I never said he deserved to be shot - and how do you know he was shot in the face? Another one that can't read...

Just making the point that someone who lives that kind of a lifestyle and names himself after a bag of weed probably will not make it as far (in age) as an average person would.

Would you still feel the same way if he overdosed on heroin or some other drug?

Well it is a shame that he is dead, I saw this on Fox, and they made it sound like it was just another local band playing at a crappy club. I did not know it was Dimebag until I read it here, damn Fox sucks. As for being influencial in bands of today, I think of that as a slap in the face to Darrel. Bands today suck, they play three chords, no solos and seem to all sound the same. Let us just say he was a great guitarist, I bet he hated the music that is coming out today.

PS: Quit bitching at each other, Neowin has too much of this crap. Stay on the topic, if you want to argue, why don't you guys make a new thread with the same title but give it a [Fight] tag or something.

Big Tex, you do realize that Stevie Ray Vaughn was on of the biggest drinkers/ drug abusers in the business right?

I'm not sure what happened to you to give you such tunnel vision. I'm sure it has something to do with your father. But that is a discussion for another day. Please keep your mindless trash talk to yourself.

You have no point. You and the music you prefer are not better than anyone else. I happen to like all types of music and this news comes as a big shock to me.

I'll not stoop to your level and try to insult you as this is not the time or place for that.

And to RichardK, yes to you he was just another guitar player. I'm a guitar player myself and I'll admit I was never much of a Pantera fan, but this man was an incredible guitarist. Too some people he was more than just another guitar player.

Accept the fact that we are all different, we all have different tastes in music and everything else. And by god if a thread doesn't affect you, please use your back button instead of posting this mindless crap.

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.

Go watch a documentary or read a book and find out for yourslef.

What football team do you follow that gives you the right to talk smack like that? - whoever wins the Super Bowl every year???

"the gunman reportedly also died at the scene"

yah that would be expected seeing as how there are at on of fans right there.

He had to of known he would die too, unless he was a complete idiot.

My point was there were a lot of people there and he had to of known that even if the cop hadn't killed him i'm sure someone would of beat him to death. Not everyone would just stand there and let some psycho shoot at them.

OK - I am not going to flame your personally, but if you can imagine something like that taking place, that tells you something about the fans of this music... Not all of them, but some of them are a little crazy...

I do not know what kind of gun was used or how much amo he had or if he used it all. But at some point he would have to run out of amo. If he did run out and people beat him to death instead of just beating him (which would be OK, especially if he was trying to beat people or if he was trying to flee the scene) then that is just sick. This is not the middle east. Let his ass rot on death row - I am sure there are some Pantera fans there that would like to kick his ass anyway.

Anyone with a name like that is just asking to be shot...

I'm sorry, but that's one of the most ignorant things I've ever read. Who are you to judge a man by his musical stage name? We're all worried about terrorism and gun control, but I'm more affraid of ignorance which seems to lead to this kind of behaviour.

there was probably about atleast 600 pantera fans there last night. if say only 200 want to beat his ass... the guys not gonna just come out of it with a black eye. plus his brother was right there, i dont know if you have a brother, but if i saw someone kill my brother right infront of me, that man would cease to exist. if either is the case that has nothing to do with the type of music i or any of them listen to or anything. the man would be dead because he deserved it.

Read my other posts and you will see why I can judge a man by his musical stage name.

Well I don't know what kind of music that is from the band he's in now so I can't really make too accurate of a comment there. I only know of him from his Pantera days.

But I'm assuming of course it's a similar crowd. Either way you give a beer to the wrong person and they see something that tramatic ya never know what could they are capable of doing.

I think it can happen with any crowd of music. But if you are referring its more likely to happen with that type of crowd then I do agree there.

You are wrong. If someone shot your brother and killed him in front of you and was pointing the gun at your face and you were unarmed, you would be going nowhere buddy.

It has plenty to do with what type of music it is - consider the same scenario at a classical symphony...

Not going to happen with any crowd. I would like to think that most people are civilized these days, oh well :(

It's interersting to see what this thread has turned into. Absolute garbage.

Fight about these matters elsewhere. Is it that difficult to start an argument in another thread? Must be for some people. I'm not insulting anyone in particular, but seriously, lets not bring other things into this.

Reading this news made me very sad. Darrel was one hell of a guitar player. I have seen him live with Pantera 5 times.

They were great. This may have severe consequences for gigs in small clubs in the US.

Lets hope I am wrong about this.

R.I.P. Darrel and Patrick
