I just heard about this not too long ago. I wasn't too big a fan of Pantera, but they had some decent stuff. Sucks that he had to go out that way, though.

Holy crap, that's terrible!

I can't say I've heard too much of their music, either, but Dimebag was certainly a name familiar to me.

Condolences.

What the shit?

Dimebag was easily the best part of every band he played with. Damn this sucks. I hope to god Vinnie Paul wasn't the other member killed.

To think... the same day, 24 years ago, John Lennon was shot and killed. Dimebag was nowhere near the stature of Lennon, but he's still a talented musician and a big loss to the world of music (namely heavy metal). God damnit.

Holy shit, this is awful.

I was never a huge fan of Pantera, but Dime's guitar playing always left my jaw down by the floor. He was just incredibly innovative as a soloist, not so much on patterns or composition but just getting all the fuck kinds of sounds out of an electric guitar.

I'm just fucking stunned. I can't conceive of anyone wanting to shoot Dime.

What the hell are you talking about? The only more metal way to die is to have your brains made into soup and teeth made into a necklace.

this deeply saddens me, pantera got me into metal, and dimebags playing got me into guitars...

True, true. It was fragments of Dead's skull that were made into a necklace, though.

WTF!? I thought there was just an announcement about a new guitar line he was producing. But I guess it's true. Already the news is spreading on the Metal sites/forums I visit. That guy had talent, and I think he (and most of the band) were graduates of North Texas' Music Department. The only "local boys" I know who made it big in the metal world - even if it was short lived.

Never really got into Pantera all that much, but still. This is horrible. It's amazing how sick some "fans" minds really are.

I dont' believe the shooter was a former fan.
