“Dimebag Darrell killed in concert shooting”
http://www.nbc4i.com/news/3983630/detail.html
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=storyIf you don’t know who he is, Dimebag was the guitarist from the Metal
band Pantera. Pantera’s lead singer; Phil Anselmo, decided that
he wanted to do his own project and in the process broke up the
band. Dimebag and his brother Vinnie (drummer for Pantera) then
formed the band “damageplan.”Now, the whole break up of Pantera caused a lot of their die-hard fans
to really feel rejected, shocked, and betrayed. Fingers were
pointed to each member as who was really at fault for the break
up. So now this resulted with some freakin fanatic who because he
can’t get over this fact, decides to shoot Dimebag while he was
performing.Here’s a statement from somebody who was actually there, posted on a forum.
“i was up close to the stage on the side where DBD was playing…. then
i saw the guy jump out of the crwod onto the stage… he was yelling
something about how “you broke up pantera…. you ruined my life….
what about phil??? he needs heroin money…” or something like that
then i saw the gun and he shot DBD right in the head… when DBD went
down he kept shooting… then he turned around for bobzilla then
vinnie… teh hole time i thought it was part of the show… i had
blood on me i was so close… i’m still freakin’ out here…after he turned around and kept shooting i was gone… i swear i almost
crapped my pants… it was ####’ crazy as ####… people were totally
messed up outside… i was standing next to this one chick and she was
crying and couldn’t stop… she fell on the ground and it was like she
was possesed or something… dude it was so kayotic its not even
funny… the cops showed up and then people started sayin’ that DBD was
killed… then people started freaking out even more…”This is ridiculous! Things like these don’t usually happen in a metal concert, so this is absolutely shocking to me.
