There's always some douchebag like you that has to come into a thread and shit on people, isn't there? You don't mean to judge? Do you know anything about Pantera or DD? He was nothing but a good ol' Texas boy that loved to party and play the fuck outta his guitar. He was killed by a psycho. You mean no disrespect, and you don't mean to judge, yet that's exactly what you've done. How about you just STFU. This is quite a shock and many, many of his fans are feeling pretty fucked up about this.

I wish I had digital cable so I could see this. MTV could definitely improve my opinion of them if they were to show this one on their regular programming instead of just on mtv2. An unbelievable sad event, but at least Dime is being remembered. That's the way it should be.

What? This thread is about the tragic death of a great guitarist. I was pointing out that someone has to come into threads like this and say something that's obviously going to be hurtful to the people that are upset over his death. And he's a fucking douchebag for doing it. How is my saying that anywhere near what he did?

My personal Dimebag memorial:
We were hanging out last night at the local dive (cheap beer, bad music) and we starting giving our cheers to dimebag. The "DJ" (i use the term loosly because he could be replaced by a 5 disc changer full of mixed top 40 cds) was playing the usual dance crap despite the fact that NOBODY in the joint was into it. Anyways after several attempts at asking the guy to play anything by pantera, he kept saying he didnt have any, a guy came forward with Far Beyond Driven from his car. The DJ still refused to play it despite the fact that dozons of people were cheering for it. Said that he wasnt allowed to play anything like that cause the bar wouldnt let him....
So my buddy goes up to the bar staff and convinces them to tell the DJ they want to hear it too and that its okay to play...
Finally the asshole relents and 5 Minutes Alone comes blasting on the stereo. LOUD AS FUCK!!!! The place went NUTS!!!! My buddy had meanwhile gone the the bar and ordered 11 shots of Jack Daniels (cost him $40!) and we all had a shot in DDs honour...it was so good we had another round 15 minutes later and toasted again...
and thats my story.
Great time...great man...great music and he will be missed

Right on. Dime would want people to do just that in his honor. Nice story man.

I just finished watching the Dimebag tribute on Headbangers Ball and I think the most fitting comment was made by a fan who had emailed or posted on a message board. His comment was that Dime had inspired him to pick up a guitar when he was younger and that "Even though I didn't know him (Dime), he was a friend of mine" I think there are a ton of people out there that feel exactly the same. I know I do. Anytime I ever read or saw an interview or saw any of the Pantera Home Vids, Dime and all the Pantera family for that matter just seemed like such down to earth, genuine cats. Metal lost one of its chief torchbearers when it lost Dime.
A good friend of mine sings in a metal band out of Chicago and knew Dime fairly well. He was recalling to me yesterday how a couple of years ago he and Dime and Vinnie met up in Chicago at a show they were all there to hang out at, and Dime asks my buddy (Mike) "Hey you got any weed?" and he replies "no I don't smoke, messes with my voice too much." And Dime asks "You like whiskey?" Mike replies "hell yeah" and Dime put his arm around him and said "then we're gonna get fucked up brother. Let's go."
Not that that is the most inspiring story ever, but I thought I would share. And had I been there, I would have had a drink with the guy cause he seemed like he would have been a riot to party with.
yeah this is fuckin terrible..needless to say..but heres my 2 cents..
these events need to get beefed up in security..whre the fuck was the security..how in the hell did this jackass get in the place with a gun..and then get on the stage with it..after the pistons game, then this..we should really check into our event security..fuckin we're too worried about the arabs and fighting wars overseas to kill terrorists thousands of miles away..well what about the terrorists right here in our counrty (and you wont ever hear this guy being referred to as a terrorists because our media only associates terrorists with the fucking arabs..but obviously he committed an act of terror, thus making him a terrorist)..all im saying is that we need to get our acts together..
i heard a lot of people saying that they were glad that the killer got shot on the scene..fuck that..i think he got off way to easy..he claimed to be a big pantera fan..if he was a true fan id love for him to see the faces of the millions of pantera fans after they heard what he did..
finally..right after i heard the dimebag story i heard a story about a kid where i live..i think he was 19..(i live in a real calm area)..apparently he owed people money (assuming drugs, but who knows)..they got the kid..cut off his tongue with fuckin scissors..put gas on his dick and then burnt it off..then torched his whole body (this is the account of the story i got..should be accurate but not definite)..the kid lived..but in horrible shape needless to say..well after hearing these 2 stories, im thinkin, what the fuck is wrong with people..sick fucks out there..its such a shame..i dont know what is going on anymore

It seems like people on this board have rather quickly gone from complaining about "overzealous" security to saying that security is not aggressive enough in the wake of this tragedy. I'm not singling anyone out in particular, and I dont want to take away from what's going on, but please everyone--think about this next time you (or Eddie) wants to start complaining about "the guys in yellow." They are there for a reason.
