Reported to mods.

Curious to know that the motive was...

Why not? Almost all acts are in some way about surprises, shocking revelations... think of even the tamest soap opera... the sudden deaths, the car accidents, comas, pregnancies... sudden plot twists drive consumer interest. Considering this was rock and roll, and not a knitting convention, I think a display of violence would be somewhat in tune with the subject matter.

Also keep in mind that there are stupid people in the world, and they LOVE being interviewed.

...an inspired artist, grew up in his dad's studio, music was his life.
an ugly crime.

Why exactly was that post reported to the mods? The title of this thread is "Dimebag Darrell got killed on stage! WTF!!!" Is this a thread of mourning? You wouldn't know it by the title of the post.

I always hate to hear about somebody getting killed for no good reason, but I can't spare any of my limited sympathy on a guy who purposely chose the name "Dimebag." Why do people place such importance on drugged up musicians and actors?

First of all, everyone take a step back and calm down. I don't want to see this thread get out of control. That includes baiting and overreacting to honest opinions.

That said, this was a tragedy for all who died and their families.

Spectre good call an the calming of emotions, I just read the whole thread and most of it sounds like flame bait. But I must answer the questions from tyhe post before yours.
If you read the posts that came before yours you would have known that this was a thread for fans who are mourning, a man got killed, people got killed, what else would it be other than a thread of mourning? If you tell what a thread is about by the title and don't read the posts that came before it then you really have no clue what the thread is about. Just my opinion

If you can't spare any of your "limited sympathy" then move on and don't respond to the thread, you don't have to respond just because you read it, it's that simple. I believe his name was Darrell not Dimebag, Dimebag was a stage name or a show name if you will. Do you know he wasd a drugged up musician? Or are you just assuming this because of his stage name?

Some posts on this thread are a prime example of what TFP is not, it disgusting that people would take this opportunity to make snide comments about dead people and fans of Darrell.


My sympathy go out to all those affected by this situation

RIP

why do i gotta be drunk??

no it was first thing in the mornig.....


but why are you asking me??
o u may be a spelling natzi

true this thread is not called mourning for darrel.. but by reading 96% of the posts you can see this is a place tfpers have come to mourn him....




good report... :thumbsup:

Someone died and you're selfish enough to make a rude comment. Everyone has opinions, not just you, and it doesn't take a genius to realize this thread isn't the place to go offending the recently deceased.

Now, to get back on topic in the light of the tragedy....

I never really knew much of the guy, but I definitely know he had a large following. I remember a kid in a music class I recently took did a final report on Pantera, and more specifically Darrel. He was a really nice guy and was such a loyal fan for really pure reasons. Beyond Darrel, I'll pray for this kid and the other many fans as well cause I'm sure there's many saddened by this.

In order to avoid "offending" anybody else and unnecessarily dragging this thread further off topic, I will not respond. :thumbsup:

Why could it not have been danzig? That's all i want to know.

It shouldn't have been Danzig or anyone else. It shouldn't have happened at all.

I really dont have much to say about this, or to be more honest, I honestly dont know what to say. I've been listening to Pantera since I was like 13, and I really dug Damageplan too. This is just terrible. While reading as much as I could about it, I found that Blabbermouth has posted a bunch of other musician's opinions about this. If you're interested click here.

:hmm:.....

Yes, I was very angry when I first created this post. Guess what though, ANGER is the first stage of mourning! If I remember right, the usual process goes Denial or Anger, Helplessness, Depression, and finally Acceptance.

I don't understand how people get so emotional and attached to musicians they never met and don't really know. I suppose this goes for all celebrities, but it seems almost cult like with musicians.

I would personally mourn the bouncer more than I would Dimebag. He could have run away and lived, but instead, he charged the gunman and tried to stop his rampage, and gave his life trying. That man is a true hero.

amen brother

Musical influence has a lot to do with it. I didn't know him personally, but I loved Pantera and the music he made. The celebrity factor means very little in comparison.

word! :thumbsup:

Glad to see we managed to get back on track....and act like adults.

It is always sad to see ANYONE killed, and particularly so, when such senseless violence is the cause.

Disgruntled fan pissed off that Pantera broke up.

I've been listening to Pantera since Vulgar Display of Power came out in '92. The first concert I ever went to was Pantera, Sepultura and Prong in Spokane, WA in the summer of 1994. Since that day, I joined one of the biggest, most loyal fan bases in music. There's a reason why a band that got zero recognition and zero airplay was able to crate as big a following as they did. Their music helped me through some really tough times and communicated a very positive message. A message of inner strength, individuality, letting go of past pain, not caring what others think of you, and the concept of being UNSCARRED. Listening to their music has helped shape who I have become today and I am a better person today for having listened to Pantera's music. Losing Darrell is a tremendous blow to a huge amount of people. People who don't know their music aren't going to get it. I'm trying to explain why losing Darrell is as big a deal as it is but I don't know if it will ever come across to people who's lives have never been touched by his music.

He was a guitar genius. To my fellow Pantera fans, I am with you in spirit. In Darrell's memory, join me and smile with a Black Toothed Grin.

:thumbsup:

Definately sent a shock through my system. I guess I just realized how vulnerable human beings can be. Perceptions are so far from reality sometimes. I thought of Dimebag as an indestructable metal god.

Definately a sad day for metal. However, his death is not a cause of grievance. Nothing can stop us from enjoying his music. Dimebag may be at a better place now, but his music lives on right here. Here on earth.

He wa the head of secuirty for the band...but bouncer is about right!

From here

Seriously, the first time I saw that pic... ouch.

Likewise I had never heard of "Dimebag" but I have heard of Pantera. This is a tragic and senseless crime comitted by obviously a very unstable and now very dead man.

My heart goes out to any victim of this sort. I never was much into hard rock. And never heard the name "Dimebag Darrell". But the passing of any artist (or anyone else for that matter) is a sad loss.

R.I.P

But I feel a special loss for the bouncer. I was in security for many years. It takes true courage not to run in that kind situation. But stay and do your duty, a duty that rarely pays more then $10 and hour.

Being a Columbusite, I got to listen to this on the local AM talk radio station the following afternoon. I'm not a big metal fan, but I'm glad to see that unlike on the talk radio, nobody has made the tasteless "This is the 9/11 of the metal world" comment. Tragic? yes. But not to the tune of 3000+ deaths tragic.

Yes, he was a hero. His name was Jeff Thompson, aka Mayhem, and he was a personal friend of mine. I know of few more selfless people in this world. He truly enjoyed helping others and was more likely to do work in return for dinner then for money. He used to tell the guys he worked security for "I'll take a bullet for you fellas". In the end, he did. The world is little bit worse off for his passing.

Thanks to all of you who have considered him here.
