Dimebag died. :(

I mean, I feel bad the guy died and the way he died and everything, but let's discuss Yes, King Crimson, Rush, and Pink Floyd, not some thrasher. There are piles and piles of threads on all of the above mentioned bands.  Is it really wrong to pay our respects to a great musician who lost his life in a tragic event just because he didn't play prog?

I totally agree with you useful. It could have happened at a Crimson concert or Yes show. The world is so full of madness that nothing seems to faze me anymore. I just keep asking myself, what is going to be next?

Although I was not much of a Pantera fan, I was saddened to hear of Dimebags murder. And from the news reports I saw immediately after the shooting, the shooter was a Pantera fan who was angry at the bands breakup. It was bad enough that Dimebag died, but what really affected me was hearing that some fans were killed also. It is a sad day indeed.

Dimebag rules (redbar89's brother)

My brother is a huge Pantera fan. He was practically in tears when he heard about it. I can't believe it myself; someone so young (38) and at the prime of their life. He had just started Damageplan, too. I really feel for his brother, the drummer of his band, who saw him get killed. I would not be able to go on in life if I witnessed my brother's murder. The drummer is Vinnie Paul.

nah it wasnt you. i dont think anyone was criticising him directly. i think even those who dont like pantera can see that this is a tragic and sad event.

I have a dark sense of humour but making fun of something so senseless and tragic even falls below my standards of humour. Nobody deserves to die in such a way. My heaart goes out to those affected directly. I saw no-one making fun of it. Some people say they didn't care is far from making fun of it. While it was unfortunate what happened I feel more sorry for the unlegendary children whose lives are taken from them for one reason or another over some guy who uses his name as some sort of endorsement for drugs. Actually it is the 3 other unfortunate people(Christ...no-one bothers to write their names!!!!) that got killed along with Mr Dimebag I truly feel bad about.

So, in your opinion, because his nickname has to do with marijuana he's less worthy of mourning, and because the others weren't famous they are more worthy?

Not starting anything, mind you, just trying to understand you.

And to all the people you may or may not have killed, if the opportunity arose, under the pretence of protecting your country?

As far as I can see, at this moment in time the biggest threats to Canada are

1. assholes flying around in planes laden with weapons of mass destruction

2.Polar bears

3.Grizzly bears

4.Getting their heads jammed firmly up their pompous arses.

Have a nice day.
