Recommended Posts

the only condolence is that he went down doing what he loved.....

very well goddamn said!! at least he didnt died in a toilet (sorry elvis fans :ninja:). he died without a chance of defending himself, but at least we are all sure he died doing what he really loved, regardless of the band he was in!!

I really fail to believe the lack of respect shown by some people, if you don't like the music or have any interest in paying your respects stay out of the thread! Also the other guy who's saying he was killed for his lifestyle. If that was the case, he'd have been killed during his glory days in pantera. Damageplan have done no where near as well (I like them heaps, but they just arn't the same league to be fair).

Chances are it was some crazed fan who thought Phil (the singer from Pantera) came to them in his dreams and instructed him to kill Dimebag. That's the only reason I can think of. Zakk Wylde is going to go ape****, they were very good friends and zakk is not a person to mess with.

Bah I'm waffling. I feel so sad, we've lost a 50% of a VERY talented pair. Between him and his brother they've created music that'd make the shyest person stomp around the dance floor sober. :(

Dimebag Darrell Killed

Dimebag Darrell, of Pantera legacy, was shot tonight with another member of Damageplan while performing in a Columbus, Ohio nightclub. Today is a very very sad day for heavy metal. :no:

Thats our lovely city of Columbus for you, total dumbasses.

RIP guys :cry:

:cry:

first off- there's multiple types of metal- i'm bass in a hair metal/ blues metal group-

metal isn't the reason he was targeted- lennon wasn't targeted for playing pop hippy music.

it's sad to lose a guitarist of dimebag's level-

it's also sad anyone else suffered injuried in the tragic event.

although- i'll be honest, i don't like pantera (their music) i can still appreciate that they were doing what they loved- and they were actually being musicians about it unlike most of what you hear today.

i read in the damageplan forum one guy that says he was in the front row, and that the guy who killed darrell said something like "you broke pantera! you ruined my life! phil needs heroin money!".

kinda hard to belive if you ask me, could the volume be that low so that anyone in the audience could listen what he said? maybe he misheard it...

I've just read an account from someone who was there, apparently the guy grabbed dimebag by the hair, and shot him in the head 5 or 6 times :( That just makes it so much worse, almost like an execution. Several ppl who where there said he shouted **** about dime breaking up pantera. :( :(

you forgot this one....

1992 saw PANTERA release VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER. This album produced the first ever heavy metal single to debut at #1

I hope the person didnt shoot him in the head like 5 times that would be sick, i just hope his parents some how die in a car crash or sommit and ide slowly for raising such a beast.

585073533[/snapback]

so it's the fault of the parents? -and they somehow deserve death?

wow :ninja:

u can become a beast in other ways- in my mind the blame ends /w the killer himself unless something else is found out

I never knew the bloke, never heard his music but I've gotta say, to die by the hand of someone else is not on! Its so ****ing **** I'm struggling to contain my anger! The bloke was doing something WORTHWHILE! Something he loved doing! Jeez this is a ****** up world where the people who actually contribute to music end up getting murdered.

Those audience members didn't deserve to die either.

Such a ****ing waste :(

RIP Dimebag :cry:

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
