Fuck, this is terrible. The world's a soberer, quieter place.

Incidentally, is it just me or do the news reports say another band member was killed? I'm assuming that it's not Vinnie, so Pat or Bob are dead as well? That's awful.

it says on CNN that vinnie paul was shot at and fell.....it could be any one of them. i wud have guessed if it was vinnie they'd have said so.

From other sites I'm reading, John Lennon was shot on the 8th of December as well.

Is this true?

I wonder if Phil Anselmo regrets his comment to Metal Hammer this month.
"He [Dimebag] deserves to be beaten severely."
This is shit, RIP Dimebag.

"According to eyewitness accounts, the gunman initially shot and killed the band's guitarist, Dimebag Darrell. Darrell, 38, and his brother, Vinnie Paul, 40, are former members of Pantera -- a group they formed in the 1980s. Their father is Jerry Abbott, a country and western songwriter and producer."

You'll see alot of reports on www.pantera.com its shocking that someone can just walk in and do that. Gun crime sucks!

i was just thinking that too
that copy of metal hammer is still sitting in my room...

it's an absolute disgrace
how could someone go to a gig with a gun and shoot someone anyway
the fact that it was an absolute legend just makes it so much worse

we'll perhaps have a pantera/damageplan tribute at the bassment on friday night...

i'm gutted. this sucks.
