I am is utter disbelief. This is a horrible tragedy. I fear going to concerts now and really pray for the members of my favorite bands. I am glad all of the venues that I go to have metal detectors.

For those of you who dont know, Dimebag Darrell was the former guitarist for Pantera, and was with his new band Damageplan along with his brother Vinnie Paul. Ive seen him, Dimebag plays guitar like a madman... It is a huge loss.

sux man, can't believe it. what a way to go out. the metal world lost a legend >>

i was just coming here to make a topic about that.... crazy stuff

As a tribute...Lets all post whatever you want about the man and then list your favorite Pantera/Damageplan song as they were most likely written in part by Dimebag Darrell

To start off... I was only fortunate enough to see him on the headbangers ball tour with Damageplan this year. It was awesome, and his array of guitars he brings to each concert is crazy. The rack i saw had like an easy dozen or more guitars of his up there. I really wish I would have saw him with Pantera. There concerts had to have been nuts.

My favorite song is Cemetary Gates

Walk is my favorite. i listen to Vulgar Display of Power at least once a week.

Wow....to hear that he dies sucks enough, to find out it was some gun taoting asshole just hurts...just can't believe that at all......I think "a new level" and "five minutes alone" are my fav pantera songs, but theres so many others that kick ass

reinventing the steel tour... pantera, soulfly, staticx, morbid angel and scrape... awesome show....

fav song would have to be cemetary gates as well...

Ya thats another fav song, fun to play on gueetar. I hate finding out someone like that dies, pretty sobering I guess. Just another artist from our generation dead before his time. Lane Stanley, Lynn Strait, and kurt cobain being most memerable. Heroin and guns, ****in bastards!!!

Being a guitar player myself, at least hes up there with Rhodes, Hendrix, Jones, Lennon and the other brothers. Dimebag...rest in peace bro!

Well if thats what you believe, sadly I can't be so optimistic >> I just can't imagine having an average day playing a show and whatever, then out of nowhere someone shoots you, just a messed up world.

But hey **** background checks and gun registration, god wants us to have guns, god bless America!!! I loves my guns.....

Guns don't kill people.....husbands that come home too early from work do!
