Ditemi che è un fake! :(

[Phantom II]

Io ci sono rimasto di merda visto che Darrel era uno dei miei artisti metal preferiti.
Rip a lui e condoglianze al fratello che se lo è visto ammazzare davanti agli occhi :(
Da quello che ho letto è stato ucciso anche il bassista e un manager del gruppo.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- At least five people died and two others were wounded after a shooting at a Columbus nightclub on Wednesday night, NBC 4 reported.

The shooting took place shortly after 10 p.m. at Alrosa Villa, located at 5055 Sinclair Rd.

Two members of the heavy metal band Damageplan were reportedly shot and killed, including Dimebag Darrell, formerly with the band Pantera, NBC 4's David Wayne reported. The other band member's name was not released. The alleged gunman also died at the scene, Wayne reported.

Shortly after the band began playing its first song, a man reportedly ran onto the stage and began shooting, according to a witness who identified himself as Sean. Some members of the audience reportedly thought the man running onto the stage with a gun was part of the band's act, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported.

Witnesses said that several shots were fired at the band before a bouncer tackled the gunman before he was shot and killed.

Columbus police Sgt. Brent Mull said the shooter appeared to be targeting the band members. After opening fire on the stage, the gunman turned on the crowd. At that point, an officer shot the man dead, Mall added. Police said there could have been many more fatalities had the officer not killed the gunman.

NBC 4 reported that of the surviving victims, one person was in critical condition while the other was in fair condition. Several others were treated at the scene, suffering from various injuries.

Alrosa Villa is a popular north Columbus nightspot for young adults, featuring rock and heavy metal bands, NBC 4 reported.

According to the band's Web site, Damageplan was touring nationally. It performed in Buffalo, N.Y., on Tuesday night and had a concert scheduled in Flint, Mich., on Thursday.

Damageplan featured former Pantera artists Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul. The pair were joined by vocalist Patrick Lachman and bassist Bobzilla, according to their Web site.

Per me era uno dei migliori riffatori, e anche come solista non era niente male...

[Phantom II]

Era ottimo in entrambi i ruoli, forse un po' meglio come riffatore. Il lavoro che ha fatto in Cowboys e Vulgar (soprattutto nel primo) è un capolavoro.

[lunaticgate]

Ma c'è un movente o era solo un pazzo? :mad:

Questa è certamente una delle pagine più tristi della storia del Rock.

Durante il concerto dei DAMAGEPLAN al 'Villa Rosa' di Columbus, nell'Ohio, uno squilibrato è salito sul palco pochi minuti dopo l'inizio del concerto, e dopo aver iniziato ad urlare e gesticolare, ha aperto fuoco con una pistola, sparando cinque/sei colpi a distanza ravvicinata sui membri della band.

L'assalitore sarebbe salito sul palco dalla parte sinistra, e dopo aver raggiunto Dimebag Darrell, avrebbe aperto il fuoco verso Dimebag, uccidendolo. Il pazzo ha fatto fuoco anche sul resto della band, ma al momento non si sa con precisione se qualche altro membro della band sia stato ucciso. Pare che Vinnie Paul, fratello di Dimebag, sia uscito illeso da questa tragedia, e che in questo momento sia in uno stato di profondo shock.

"Un agente della polizia di Columbus, appena arrivato sul posto, è stato coinvolto in uno scontro a fuoco con lo squilibrato, uccidendolo. Probabilmente se l'agente non fosse intervenuto, questa sera il numero di vittime sarebbe estremamente più alto" dice il Sergente Brent Mull a MTV News.

Al termine di questa news trovate il link per l'articolo del Corriere della Sera.

Non riesco davvero a trovare le parole adatte a concludere questa triste notizia.

Sparatoria nella notte, ucciso sul palco il chitarrista dei Pantera

Dimebag Darrel, chitarrista dei Pantera, è morto sul palco nel corso del concerto che il gruppo al quale si era unito, i Damageplan, stava tenendo all'Alrosa Villa di Columbus, Ohio. Un uomo è balzato sul palco pochi secondi dopo l'inizio del primo brano ed ha improvvisamente esploso cinque colpi d'arma da fuoco contro Darrel, morto all'istante. Il folle ha poi rivolto l'arma contro due persone che stavano accorrendo, uccidendole entrambe. Si tratterebbe, ma il particolare è da confermare, del tour manager e di un roadie del gruppo. Il killer è stato subito dopo ucciso da un poliziotto che stava assistendo al concerto. Altri particolari più tardi su Rockol. Dimebag Darrell era nato a Dallas, Texas, il 20 agosto 1966. I Pantera avevano cessato l'attività nel 2003.

We sail,

The moon,

The Earth,

of sapphire haze,
in orbit always.

While down,
below the trees,
bathed in a coll breeze,
silver starlight breaks down the night.

And so,
we pass on by,
the crimson eye,
of great god Mars,
as we travel...

Sono pervaso da una profonda tristezza, era uno dei piu' grandi, nei Pantera riusciva a fare tanto macello da non far rimpiangere la mancanza di una seconda chitarra, validissimo sia in solo devastanti, sia nei riff, tra i migliori mai concepiti da un thrasher, con quella distorsione limpida secca e maledettamente metallica :cry:
Mi dispiace anche per suo fratello Vinnie Paul, non credo che l'abbia presa bene :(
Rest In Peace Dimebag "Diamond" Darrell, you are gone but never forgotten.

[FaveDiFuca]

Io non ero un grande fan dei Pantera, però certe cose sono veramente pazzesche.
Ste cose succedono solo in America, dove basta avere due soldi per comprasi un'arma, o sapere di arti marziali e uccidere gente come Pastorius.
Buonanotte Dimebag

The reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes
It’s nothing new for him to see
I didn’t ask him why
I will remember
The love our souls had
Sworn to make
Now I watch the falling rain
All my mind can see
Now is your (face)

Well I guess
You took my youth
I gave it all away
Like the birth of a
New-found joy
This love would end in rage
And when she died
I couldn’t cry
The pride within my soul
You left me incomplete
Memories now unfold.

Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetery gates

Sometimes when I’m alone
I wonder aloud
If you’re watching over me
Some place far abound
I must reverse my life
I can’t live in the past
Then set my soul free

Belong to me at last
Through all those
Complex years
I thought I was alone

I didn’t care to look around
And make this world my own
And when she died
I should’ve cried and spared myself some pain...
Left me incomplete
All alone as the memories still remain

The way we were
The chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the cemetery gates

[Mav80]

Anche io ancora oggi ho delle palesi difficoltà a realizzare bene e a rendermi conto di quello che è successo.....abbiamo perso un gran patrimonio musicale,e nessuno può negarlo.....abbiamo perso un intero modo di suonare,un sound particolare e unico che solo lui poteva fare...nnsarà come sostituire un chitarrista qualunque in un gruppo,con lui se ne è andato anche il suo suono,il suo stile e modo di fare musica che nessuno potrà sostituire....purtroppo....e cmq ragazzi vorrei ricordare che ,al di là del fatto che ci ha rimesso la pelle un personaggio famoso come Dime, l'episodio che è successo è una cosa gravissima....una cosa che cambierà il mondo del metal.....le cose cambieranno è inutile negarlo.....

Io sono doppiamente dispiaciuto per la scomparsa di Darrell proprio perchè ero convinto che dal nuovo gruppo dei fratelli Abbott potesse uscire qualcosa di buono. New found power è un disco più che onesto che poteva essere un'ottima base di partenza per il ritrono in grande stile dei due texani.
Certo non è un disco dei Pantera, ma dove Darrell ci dava giù sodo la qualità si sentiva, e un ritorno ai fasti del decennio passato per me non era del tutto impossibile, anche perchè Lachman non faceva rimpiangere troppo Anselmo, sicuramente non quello degli ultimi anni.
Per me potevano fare tanto, mi dispiace per Darrell che non meritava una fine simile, come non la meritavano gli spettaori e addetti alla sicurezza, per suo fratello che se lo è visto ammazzare davanti agli occhi e per il gruppo in generale che era nel locale per divertirsi e far divertire il pubblico.

Former TESTAMENT/SAVATAGE guitarist Alex Skolnick has sent the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"I was watching CNN early this morning when they cut to the scene of a conert shooting in Columbus. I was sure it was some local band, then they showed the pictures of Darrell. I still can't believe it.

"I remember meeting those guys for the first time in Houston in '88, when TESTAMENT got up and jammed with them, They were a metal cover band with a reputation of playing better than some of the bands they were paying tribute to.

"I remember Darrell asking me to show him one of my TESTAMENT solos to see if he was doing it right. He was, and added his own thing to it. As time went on, I'll be the first to admit the PANTERA found their own voice as a band and took it to levels which blew us all away.

"I hadn't seen [Darrell] in about ten years or so. We were very different types of players and people. I wanted to explore other musical styles, he wanted to delve deeper and deeper into metal. I was shy and quiet (at the time), he was a loud, wild Texan. We weren't close but when I saw him over the years I always felt a mutual respect. I considered him one of the best metal players out there and am truly saddened by this and in disbelief that something like this could happen.

"I don't know what else to say.

"RIP, Dime."




Ted Nugent spoke to the Flint, Michigan newspaper The Flint Journal about the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell.

"It was horrible. Darrell was a big fan of mine. He expressed that every time we ever saw each other," said the Nuge, who fondly recalled that PANTERA performed his "Journey to the Center of the Mind" and "Cat Scratch Fever" the last time they played Detroit.

"It's tragic on two dynamic levels," Nugent, an outspoken advocate of sensible gun ownership, added. "Once again, innocence is destroyed, and it's Americans destroying other Americans. This conduct runs wild in this country ... It's not the Taliban doing it. It's Americans."



STAIND guitarist Mike Mushok has issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"I can't believe the news I got last night. Jon called me telling me that Dimebag was shot at a club while they were performing. I couldn't believe it then and I still can't. On behalf of myself and the band I'd like to send our deepest sympathy to Dime's family. What a loss.

"I was lucky enough to be able to hang with Dime on a few occasions and he was a man that loved life and lived it to the fullest. He was an incredible guitar player / musician / human being — a legend who will live on in the awesome music that he made.

"Pour yourself a shot of crown, add a splash of coke and raise your glass in Dime's memory. You'll be missed."


Former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman has issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"I knew Darrell from months of touring together. He was a great guitar player, actually much better than was probably necessary to play the kind of music he was playing. Although his image was a wild partying maniac, his playing always was full of class and finesse. As a fellow guitar player, KISS fanatic and basic rock dude just tryin' to make music, I'm sad and shocked by this.

"Why is it so easy for any lunatic to get his hands on a gun??

"RIP, Dime, you will be missed..."


Members of MOTÖRHEAD have issued brief separate statements regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

Lemmy: "To Vinnie & all concerned: Man, I am so fuckin sorry. You know I loved Dimebag and I'm about as sorry as you can get. Glad you're OK though. If there's anything you need help with, you got my number somewhere, OK.

"Thinking of you."

Phil Campbell: "I'm so sorry, we'll dedicate the set to Dimebag tonight."

Mikkey Dee: "My deepest sympathy to everyone affected by this tragedy."


LIMP BIZKIT guitarist Wes Borland has posted the following message on the group's official web site:

"We were playing a show in Texas a few years ago and I saw this sweaty, super long-haired, big-bearded, Dimebag Darrell-looking guy come over the barricade right in front of me. 'Holy crap,' I thought, "That IS Dimebag Darrell!!!' I had only met him once before, but I had grown up on PANTERA and was a little star-struck by his presence. He was smiling and looking up at me and jamming out to whatever song we were playing at the moment. The security in the barricade were getting ready to shoo him out from in front of the stage with everyone else, but I stopped them from ushering him out and I stopped playing guitar and I shook his hand. He hung out right in front of me for about four more songs. I couldn't believe it. He was a hero to so many of us. I'm glad I got to have that moment with him. I'll never forget it."


Guitarist/producer James Murphy (ex-TESTAMENT, DEATH, OBITUARY) has issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"I first met Darrell about 18 years ago at a show in Texas around '85-'86. PANTERA was playing to a pretty packed house at this little hole-in-the-wall venue — a bar, really, with a stage jammed into one corner. I had not come for the music, but rather to socialize and have a few drinks. I was only 18 or 19 (18 was old enough to buy beer in Texas and Louisiana in those days) and I had never heard of PANTERA before. I nursed my beer and mingled as the band on stage played a diverse collection of cover songs and soon enough I started to take note of the killer playing of the lone guitarist on stage and became more and more impressed as the band started to work in some original music. I took note of two things in particular: 1. how this band with this single guitarist could sound so thick and powerful on stage, and 2. how that guitarist who looked to be about the same age as me could play so damn well and with such an original style. He was, in my estimation, light years ahead of me.

"As the night was wrapping up I made my way to the band's merchandise table where I noticed some cassette tapes for sale, asked which one was the most recent, and purchased it. I then made my way over to where the guitarist was hanging out off to the side of the tiny stage and introduced myself. Diamond Darrell, as he was known in those days, extended his hand warmly and though he was tired and trying to pack up some gear he still took the time to chat and tell me more about himself and the band. Having met many 'bar band' guitarists by that point from the Texas and Louisiana club circuit I was immediately struck by how truly nice Darrell was by comparison to some of the other guys I had talked to... he showed me his guitar, his rig, and tried to show me a couple cool guitar licks on his unplugged instrument over the din of the bar crowd. I was in awe of this guy, and when I asked he revealed to me that he was less than one year older than me... I was floored and rushed home with my new PANTERA cassette determined to practice until I was on a level somewhere close to Darrell's by the following year.

"That tape was titled 'I Am The Night' and though the tape itself wore out years ago from constant play I recall that the line-up consisted of all but Phil Anselmo out of the line-up we all know from the most famous albums.. i.e., from 'Cowboys from Hell' onward. I liked every song and Darrell's incredibly tight rhythm playing was evident throughout the album, but there was also an instrumental track that showcased Darrell's amazing solo guitar talent, I think it was titled 'D-G-T-T-M' and I wore my fingers and ears out trying to learn it.

"I met Darrell many more times over the years, especially as my career started moving forward in 1990, and no matter how big PANTERA got he was always the same as that first meeting.... genuinely nice. Sometimes he would remember me, other times he didn't seem to at all, but he never treated me any differently.

"I will miss you Darrell, the world will miss you. My deepest sympathies to Vinnie, Rita, and the entire Abbott family as well as to all those like myself who are, have been, and always will be, in awe of what you accomplished, what you played, and most importantly, who you were.

"Rest in peace brother."


SAVATAGE guitarist Chris Caffery has issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"Recently we were suddenly stripped [of] a modern-day guitar legend. Darrell was one of the few guitarists in history that had his own unique spot. His own style, his own sound.

"When you hear someone say 'the Eddie Van Halen sound' or the 'Yngwie sound,' you know what I mean. These are the true legends. There was a PANTERA sound. This sound was groundbreaking, it was Darrell. I respected him and learned from him even after playing guitar for over 25 years. As a person he was one of the kindest and friendliest I have ever met.

"Having a brother who is a drummer, I can only imagine Vinnie's pain. My thoughts and prayers are with his closest friends and family.

"The heavy metal world is large and widespread, but we are still a big community, a family. Yesterday we lost a cornerstone. A very special member of the family.

"RIP Dimebag!"


Former RATT bassist Juan Croucier has issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"Ironically, I learned today that Darrell was a big RATT fan. What a thing to learn on a day like today. I had heard the rumor before but it was confirmed to me by Warren De Martini. Warren and Darrell were friends. He had nothing but wonderful things to say about Darrell and as you can imagine, was greatly saddened by this senseless tragedy.

"Dimebag Darrell, was an awesome guitar player, PANTERA and DAMAGEPLAN were great, great bands! I remember hearing PANTERA for the first time back in the early 90s and thinking to myself man, this band is over the top. Very intense. I loved it. It was also my brother Rick's favorite band.

"Darrell, brought something new to the hard rock/metal game. He was not only a great guitar player/song writer but he changed the rock music world with his style and approach. Hard rock/metal will never be the same. His contribution to music will live on in all of us who loved his work.

"My thoughts, condolences and prayers go out to his brother Vinnie, his family, friends and PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN fans as well as the other folks that were senselessly murdered.

"Life is so precious, everyone matters. Unfortunately, we live in a world where senseless and insane acts of violence can and do happen without warning.

"Yeah, I learned today that Darrell was a big RATT fan... Well, I am a big PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN/Dimebag Darrell fan! And always will be.

"God bless him."


DROWNING POOL have cancelled the remainder of their tour Thursday out of respect and grief for the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott.

The band, who grappled with tragedy just two years ago when their lead singer died of a heart condition while on tour, issued a statement Thursday about the shootings.

"No one knows why some people do the heinous things they do," it said. "What we do know is that once again, we leave tour to bury friends, brothers and family.

"Dimebag Darrell was the epitome of rock and roll. He wasn't just a player that all guitarists aspired to be, but the genuine article and a true friend. Darrell inspired our lives and how we carried ourselves not just as musicians out on the road but also as friends in everyday life."

The band also expressed grief for Jeff Thompson, who was also killed by the gunman.

"Jeff Thompson, known to his friends as 'Mayhem,' was the biggest friend that a man could have or know," the band's statement said. "Mayhem has been a big part of both DAMAGEPLAN and DROWNING POOL. We will sorely miss him and all of his nearly seven feet of glory adorned in a kilt."

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY guitarist/vocalist Pepper Keenan and producer John Custer, who are at a Raleigh studio working on the band's new album, spoke to The News & Observer about the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, a longtime friend of COC.

"It's tragic, a shame," Keenan said Thursday. "I've known Darrell for years and years. He was a big fan of COC, we toured Australia together with PANTERA. It's just a shame."

"He was one of the defining guitarists of his generation," Custer said. "He was like Eddie Van Halen or Randy Rhoads or Stevie Ray Vaughan, about seven cuts above everybody else. Anybody who puts in the amount of time and devotion to get that good is not ... out there just to mess around with music for a little while before going on to something else. He was a devoted musician and one of the most influential guitarists to come out of that whole decade. And he made records that helped people get through their year. He'll be remembered as one of the best."

Thursday afternoon, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY was gathering at the studio again. But Custer did not think they'd get much work done right away.

"It's hard to get excited about cutting guitar tracks right now," Custer said. "There will definitely be a shroud over things for a while." This is just awful."


SLIPKNOT percussionist Shawn Crahan (a.k.a. Clown) spoke to the Des Moines Register about the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott.

Crahan attended a DAMAGEPLAN concert just last week, at Irving Plaza in New York. He called Abbott a friend and "rock 'n' roll icon."

"It's just upsetting how the world is — the need and the necessity to override the value of life," Crahan said. "From my whole (SLIPKNOT) family, I would like to tell . . . Vinnie and everyone else how sorry we are."

SLIPKNOT 's lead singer, Corey Taylor, sang on DAMAGEPLAN's album released in February, "New Found Glory".

When asked if Abbott's death made him anymore fearful about stepping on stage in front of a sea of strange faces, as SLIPKNOT has done 150 times this year alone, Crahan struck a practical tone.

"This type of activity has always gone on and it's part of our business," he said. "You can go through decades of information and hear about these kinds of things. It sounds like there were people in place to try to prevent this. It almost doesn't matter. People get in. It's just so, so, so unfortunate."



DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy has issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"I wasn't gonna post anything because this whole tragedy isn't about me or how I feel… and I feel so helpless and insignificant at such an unbelievable time as this...

"But after sitting in front of my computer screen in disbelief for the last 24 hours since I heard about this last night I finally felt I needed to at least acknowledge how absolutely horrible I feel about this nightmare.

"Actually, I am sick to my stomach.

"Dime was an incredible talent who I've admired since the beginning when we had both just signed to Atco Records. It's been many years since I've hung with him or any of the PANTERA guys — but my memories with him and the guys were always of great fun and filled with crazy drunken insanity.

"He lived each and everyday to the fullest. In fact, I never could believe how he could even function (both on and off stage) with the way he partied and lived life.

"I feel so sorry for Vinnie and the rest of the band and family.

"Words really cannot describe the heartache I've had all day.

"This is as tragic and unbelievable as Lennon getting killed.

"But this hits home even closer because he was ONE OF US.

"I really cannot believe it..."



KITTIE drummer Mercedes Lander has issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"I dont know how to begin or end this.

"Someone that meant the world to me was shot to death last night... This is still not real to me... I'm still waiting to wake up from this nightmare... it doesn't even feel real...

"Dime was awesome to me in every way... He took me under his wing when I was 16 and taught me everything I know about what I do... Dime and Vinnie treated me like I was a younger sister and I saw both of them as older brothers... The truth is that they didnt have to be nice to me and treat me as well as they did but they did because they are good people. I had so many awesome nights throughout the years of just drinking and talking. Some people even started calling me the 'cowgirl from hell.' I looked up to Dime and Vinnie so much because I saw myself and my sister in them... They made me want to work even harder at my dreams and reach the level that they were at... they are the closest thing I had to heroes.

"I can't believe something like this could have happened in the metal community. I am at a loss of words to describe how I feel. I am so angry and frustrated... I don't think I will ever understand this senceless act. I can't believe this happened. It hurts so much right now. Whats even worse is that I can't even believe what Vinnie is going through.

"You are one of the most amazing people in the world... I will miss you dearly... All I can think about is all the awesome times we had together... it scares me that I won't be able to have that again. You were loved by so many people... You will be missed."



DISTURBED have issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"It is with the utmost despair that we extend our condolences to the family and many friends of one of the greatest guitar players to ever walk the face of this earth, Dimebag Darrell Abbott. Not only was he an inspiration to anyone who ever picked up a guitar, but he was one of the most genuine, big-hearted individuals you would ever have the pleasure of meeting. Dime loved to have a good time, and was never satisfied until everyone else around him was having one too. We are all still in an utter state of shock, refusing to believe that he is truly gone. Instead of focusing on the incredibly ugly demise of his death, let us remember the joy and strength he brought to all of us while he was alive.

"To Rita, Vinnie Paul, and all of those who loved him so much, we extend our most heartfelt condolences. We'll have a double black tooth in your honor brother. You will never be forgotten."


Ozzy Osbourne has issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"Dimebag was a dear friend of mine. I'm absolutely beside myself with grief. I can't for the life of me understand why someone would do this. PANTERA toured with me many, many times. I'll always remember the signed guitar that he gave me at my 50th birthday party. My heart goes out to Dime's family, his fans and the other innocent victims who were killed in this senseless tragedy. It's just terribly, terribly sad."


KORN frontman Jonathan Davis has issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"Darrell and PANTERA were one of the main reasons I joined a metal band. This is a tragic loss for the music community and to all who knew him. KORN is truly shaken and we want to send our deepest condolences to the families of the deceased."


DEFTONES drummer Abe Cunningham has issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"We had the pleasure of touring three times with PANTERA. They treated us so well on the road. We had some great times hanging out with them. They treated us with open arms, especially the brothers [Dimebag and his brother, Vinnie Paul]. Darrell lived the music. We feel terrible, and our hearts go out to his family, brother and father. He was a legend in this business, and an unbelievable musician. He will be missed by all."


EXODUS guitarist Gary Holt has issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"I am, for the first time in my life, at a loss for words. The terrible reality of last night's tragedy is starting to sink in, and I am in a deep state of mourning over the loss of one of my personal guitar heroes, on stage and off, Dimebag Darrell.

"When my friend Walter called me with the news last night, I had to make him repreat every word when he was finished. It was just too much to believe. I had to be some sort of stupid, cruel rumor. But it was not. And so begins heavy metal's darkest day.

"I'll never forget when EXODUS, along with SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, had the honor of taking PANTERA out on their first U.S. tour. And I will never forget standing there, along with Rick Hunolt, watching Darrell play during their first soundcheck, just totally ripping GARY MOORE's 'Still Got the Blues'. Rick and I knew this cat was something special. And he reminded us of it every night. He was a wildman, able to drink people under the table and still go out there and shred, never hitting a bad note. He was the first guitarist I'd ever seen who actually frightened me, he was so fucking good! And most guys with that kind of talent wear their guitars like a bib and spend their off time indulging in role playing games, but Dimebag was a monster of the best and highest caliber. Only Zakk Wylde could compete with Dimebag in that respect.

"My deepest condolences go out to Vinnie and his family. I am so sorry for your loss, and I will not even try to pretend I have any idea what you must be going through right now. The metal world is behind you, we are all behind you.

"Dimebag, rest in peace bro, this blacktooth is for you."


ROB ZOMBIE has issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"I don't know exactly what to write concerning the death of Darrell. This is beyond shocking and horrible. I still can't believe it is true. I got the call from my manager Andy Gould, who, along with Walter O'Brien, used to manage PANTERA and WHITE ZOMBIE.

"During the early ninties WHITE ZOMBIE and PANTERA were constant touring partners and I had the pleasure of watching Darrell perform with PANTERA easily over a hundred times. For those of you who never saw him, he was without a doubt the most dynamic guitartist on the face of the planet. He was truly one of a kind. A legend.

"Off stage, he was a cool, down-to-earth guy with the most bizarre sense of humor ever, half the time I didn't even understand what the hell he was saying. He spoke a language all his own — Dimespeak.

"The last time I saw Darrell was with his brother Vinnie standing in the crowd rocking out at a METALLICA show. I never got a chance to see his new band, but I'm sure he was as amazing as always.

"No one can replace a giant talent like Darrell, he will be missed.

"My heart goes out to Phil, Rex and especially Vinnie."


LIMP BIZKIT frontman Fred Durst has issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"Last night was the 9/11 for metal to me and the metal community. Not only did PANTERA inspire me to have the courage to express myself they were also one of my main motivations to form LIMP BIZKIT. I am sad beyond comprehension. I mourn for the loved ones of dimebag and the others murdered. a living legend has been taken from us. life has permanantly changed for me as of last night. I believe everything happens for a reason and in no way do I understand the reason for this. I will be forever in his debt. RIP Dimebag."


Hank Williams III (SUPERJOINT RITUAL): "It just ain't fuckin right... Alcohol should have killed Dime, not a fuckin piece of shit worthless fuck with a gun trying to recreate the John Lennon's killing... This happened on the same day, if you didnt know... Dime will never die EVER!!! His style of guitar playing took metal to a whole new chapter in metal history.

"For those of us that were lucky enough to be around Dime as a person... or see him jam in no matter what band it was, you know he liked to have a good time... In his honor, crank up his fuckin music and get motherfuckin wasted on whiskey!!!!!!!

"And no matter what was said with all the shit talking between SUPERJOINT RITUAL and DAMAGEPLAN, that's all it was, nothing but talk!! If we had ever been in the same room together as both bands, it would have been cool… Kinda like seeing 'ole family....

"I'm sure there will be plenty of new rumors surfacing.....And fingers pointing at people to blame... But Philip [Anselmo, ex-PANTERA] and the rest of SUPERJOINT RITUAL are in a state of shock and blown away by this tragedy! We do not take this shit lightly... What this kid did is so fucked up its not even conceivable. May you burn in the hottest corners of hell you pistol packin pussyfuck...

"R.I.P Dimebag. You rocked harder than you will ever know!!!!"



LIFE OF AGONY: "Today is a sad day for music. LIFE OF AGONY are extremely distraught over last night's insane tragedy which took the life of DAMAGEPLAN's Dimebag Darrell. The band's hearts go out to the Abbott family as well as the entire DAMAGEPLAN camp. Dime, you will never be forgotten. We are all just speechless over here."



HATEBREED: "Right now, we like so many are in complete disbelief and shock at the horrific murder of our friend, hero and brother Dimebag Darrell.

"Our deepest and most sincere condolences to Rita, Vinnie and all of his bandmates, family and friends. May our love and prayers be with you in this horrible time.

"Dime was one of the most amazing, generous, talented, funny, charismatic and caring people we have ever met. Some of the greatest times of our lives were spent with him and we will never forget his zest for life and generosity. Thank you, Dime. The world will never be the same without you. Your contributions to music and to all of our lives are invaluable and will never be forgotten. We love you bro.

"Today we mourn with all of the PANTERA and DAMAGEPLAN fans around the world but tonight we are gonna play our asses off like Dime would have wanted us to!"



SKINLAB: "Today has got to be one of the darkest days ever. To wake up and realize the news we all recieved yesterday was real. I can hardly believe it. Dime was a huge inspiration on us all in SKINLAB not only as an awesome person, but as a guy who was always there for his fans 100%. He will be extremely missed. Our deepest condolences to all of DAMAGEPLAN and the families of everyone who has been affected by this tragedy. R.I.P., brother ... See you on the other side!"


OPETH: "The members of OPETH want to express their shock and sorrow in light of the recent tragic death of PANTERA / DAMAGEPLAN guitarist Dimebag Darrell. Condolences goes out to his family and especially his brother Vinne Paul who we hear is wounded but alive. We hope for a swift recovery. Things like this should not happen!"


Terry Butler (SIX FEET UNDER, ex-DEATH, MASSACRE): "Our deepest sympathies go out to the families of the victims in this horrific, senseless tragedy. The metal community has lost one of its most influential musicians. Dimebag's passion and energy for music was second to none."


MINISTRY: "MINISTRY would like to like extend our deepest condolences to Darrell's friends and family and the friends and families of others who were killed or injured last night.

"Several members of MINISTRY were very close with Darrell and we are deeply saddened by the loss of this great artist."



Mark Morton (LAMB OF GOD): "Dime's music was a huge influence on me personally and on LAMB OF GOD as a whole. As a guitar player he was a true inovator. His sound tone and style shapped modern metal and his riffs are constantly referenced by nearly every band in metal including my own. Only recently did I have the pleasure of hanging out with him on a personal level and he was as genuine and down to earth as anyone you would ever meet. This is a huge loss to the music world."


Trevor Peres (OBITUARY): "I can't believe that this happened to Darrell. One could never imagine something like this happening at a metal concert. Out of all of the 'rock stars' that I know, he is the last person that deserved that. What a great guitarist and what a 'ham' he was. I am completely devastated. I am at loss of words."



Bobby Gustafson: (ex-OVERKILL, RESPONSE NEGATIVE): "I've sat here for a full day sulking in the total disbelief of the loss of my dear friend Darrell. Wondering if my words would be as pertinent as some of the musicians who've been in the spotlight far more than myself. But Darrell has touched me just as strongly as my peers, and I'm sure of that. His unconditional friendship and his zest for life and laughter was unsurpassed by anyone. His talent and gift of guitar playing speaks for itself. One of my proudest moments as a musician came from him, when he told me he used my guitar tone from 'Years of Decay' as the basis for 'Cowboys from Hell'. I will never forget when we sat there drunk as hell with a 4 track in Springfield, Mass. coming up with our own lyrics to ICE T's 'There Goes the Neighborhood', or when they as a band tried to hijack me from N.Y.to Virginia Beach on the tour bus in yet another drunken fiasco, or catching the beer he tossed to me in 'Vulgar Videos'. I will miss you as a person and a phenomenal guitar player. My tears are shed for you, Vinnie, and the rest of the Abbott family. C-Ya on the other side."


Doug Sabolick (A LIFE ONCE LOST): "A sad fucking day for sure, some miserable 20 something fuck killed a legend. A man who inspired so many to rip and thrash.

"PANTERA was and still is my favorite group and Dimebag was the one who inspired me the pick up the axe , the bottle and the joint and just fucking RIP! I remember being 13 years old and just blasting 'Far Beyond Driven' all day long. Darrell was who I looked up to, someone who did things on his own terms and still succeeded!

"To the dumb fuck who did this I hope you rot in hell you miserable scumbag!"

-------------------------------------------------

Bobby C. (A LIFE ONCE LOST): "Not only was Dime progressive musician, his image and style of playing changed the face of metal to this day…Light one up in his memory."



Dan Jacobs (ATREYU): "It's a sad day when being such a good guitar player can get you killed. Metal will never be the same."



Keith Buckley (EVERY TIME I DIE): " There are alot of counterfactuals involved in senseless deaths like that of Dimebag's. What if it had been one of our shows? What if there are more people than we know capable of such atrocities? What if it had been me? But these 'what-ifs' only come about after a period of reflection. The more sincere questions are the most immediate. Mine was this: 'Why did PANTERA break up in the first place?'"


Trevor (UNEARTH): "This is a sad day for heavy metal, rock 'n' roll and for all his family, friends and legion of fans around the world.

"Dimebag Darrell was one of the nicest and most genuine human beings all of us in UNEARTH have ever met. His presence, music and most of all his friendship will be dearly missed. Dime loved life, cared about people and was a true rock icon. Everything about him was admirable.

"Our thoughts and hearts go out to his family and friends."


Ed Conroy (FULL BLOWN CHAOS): "That's a idol and a legend gone for no reason. There is no reason for something like this to happen and it’s frightening to think if this could happen in the future if, say, some crazed fan jumps on stage and does something like that at a FULL BLOWN show. With Darrell, man, it’s just a waste of talent. People all over are just bummed out about it. Whether he was a friend or not, his influence can be heard all around music now."



MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine: "There is nothing unique or clever to this post, and what I want to say has no doubt already been said throughout the metal community, by countless others whom were more closer to Darrell than me by now.

"However, knowing he was murdered tonight, I wish to thank and remember Darrell for his amazing life and the gift that he shared with me and so many other fortunates.

"I pray for Darrell's family and friends; specifically for their healing, their peace, and their understanding of this tragedy in this time of need.

"I send my deepest heartfelt condolences to the Abbott family, to Darrell's friends, and to the fantastic PANTERA and DAMAGEPLAN fans around the world.

"We must never forget his life, and his gifts, his genius, his terrific personallity, and the legacy he left behind to remember him by.

"Darrell, I will see you in heaven and I, like so many more, love you brother.

"You will be missed."




Tim "Ripper" Owens (ex-JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH): "Hey, wanted to say that Dime was a great guy and amazing guitarist! He will really be missed! He made me laugh when he would see me backstage and sing out 'Ripper' in a high note with some melody he had made up! He and his brother always gave me respect. I knew how much of a fan he was of JUDAS PRIEST and Rob [Halford], so the respect meant a lot! And all the rumors about him and I working together where the best rumors I'd ever heard about me! I always wanted to work with Darrell and was always waiting for that phone call! Dimebag, we love ya bro and you will be missed!"


Tracii Guns (BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION, L.A. GUNS): "We have lost the last true pioneer of our metal generation.

"This guy did not have formulas or bullshit.

"Dime played and wrote from his soul, he also treated his friends as if they were his blood brothers.

"This summer I presented him with the Guitarist Of The Year award at Metal Hammer Awards ceremony in London.

"We got shitfaced, laughed our asses off and had a grteat time as we always did when we hung out.

"The rock world has suffered a devastating blow with the loss of Dimebag.

"I wish his family and fans all the best from my heart."



CHIMAIRA's Mark Hunter: "Dime's music gave me so much to live for when I was younger, and he truly changed the face of metal with his unique style of guitar playing. There isn't a metal band I know that hasn't borrowed a riff or three from him."


Brandan Schiepatti (BLEEDING THROUGH, EIGHTEEN VISIONS, THROWDOWN): "I can truly say that Dimebag wrote the most influential and important riffs to any project I have done or will do musically. PANTERA songs have transcended time and genre and will go down someday to be as legendary as bands like SABBATH have become. Even though he was godlike on stage, when BLEEDING THROUGH met him in Dallas, he was so nice and down to earth to us, we loved him even more. I remember seeing PANTERA with SEPULTURA when I was twelve and it was the first time music was such a force that it crushed everyone's face like they were in a jet doing mach 3. I picked up a guitar immediately after."


KILLSWITCH ENGAGE's Howard Jones: "This is insane and this is beyond travesty. This is beyond anything I've ever heard. This shouldn't happen in or outside of the rock and metal community. He will be missed and mourned as a person, as a musician, and as a friend."


MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx offered the following: "Dime, I will never forget all the times you made us laugh. I'm so happy we got to spend the day together in London recently… We should all live our lives as full as you have. I will miss you, as will all of us... This is a sad day."



SEPULTURA: "Dimebag was an excellent musician and a good friend, a fucking great partner in memorable tours. We'll miss him very much. Our condolences to the Abbott family."

-------------------------------------------------

MACHINE HEAD: "MACHINE HEAD are devastated by the horrific news. Our deepest sympathy and condolences to the Abbott family, DAMAGEPLAN and former members of PANTERA. Our thoughts are with you all."



QUIET RIOT's Frankie Banali: "This is so wrong. Darrel was one of the nicest people in music and a great guitarist. He was always great to me each time we saw each other, as was Vinnie. Such a waste and so disturbing. My thoughts and prayers are with Darrel and my sincerest sympathy to Darrel's family, loved ones and all of his fans and the fans of PANTERA and DAMAGEPLAN. No one deserves a violent death, and certainly not Darrel. God bless him."


Derek Sherinian (ex-DREAM THEATER, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN): "I think that this is such a horrible tragedy. I never met Darrell, but I admired his talent and what he stood for musically. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones."


Flo Mounier (CRYPTOPSY): "I just found out this morning. What the hell is this fucking planet coming to. Dimebag was an innovator and an amazing guitar player. It's difficult enough to play shows in this business but now this. I am completely shocked and extremely angry at the way our world is becoming. A moment of silence for Dimebag and the other victims and my thoughts as well as the rest of CRYPTOPSY's goes to their families. R.I.P."




Jari Kuusisto (CARNAL FORGE): "I can honestly say that Dimebag was one of my favorite guitarist and that he will be strongly missed by me and thousands of other people. One of the greatest has past on way to soon and CARNAL FORGE send out our deepest condolenses to Dimebag's family and friends. Right at this moment i only feel sad and angry on that something like this can happen. R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell."


Scott Rockenfield (QUEENSRŸCHE): "I did not know Dimebag Darrell personally, but this is a great tragedy for the entire music community. Concerts are meant to be a place of fun and safety, and this will stay on all of our minds for many years. Darrell will be missed..."



Eddie Ojeda (TWISTED SISTER): "I just heard about it. It really sucks that something like that can happen. I'm so shocked by this unnecessary act of violence that I can't really put it in to words. My deepest sympathy goes out to Dimebag and his family."


Jonas Björler (THE HAUNTED): "We just got back from the U.S. tour with DAMAGEPLAN, and we're all in shock right now. I can't fucking believe what has happened. Dimebag and the rest of the guys were really cool people, and this is the worst display of cowardice I've ever experienced. R.I.P. Dime — we'll never forget"



Marten Andersson (STARWOOD, GEORGE LYNCH, LIZZY BORDEN, LEGACY): "I am devastated to hear that something like this can happen. Unfortunately I never got the opportunity to become friends with Dimebag but I will always remember him for his talent, his gift of music. There is so many bands out there that would not be where they are if it wasn't for this man and his talent. He will forever have a place in the history of metal and in so many people's hearts. I think most have been said in the metal community, we are a strong bunch and stick together when something horrible like this happens. I want to give my deepest sympathy and condolences to his family, friends and his hardcore fans (me included) for your loss. My thoughts are with you all. In due time the pain will give way to great memories of Dimebag. Rest in peace."



Juan Garcia (AGENT STEEL): "Everyone in AGENT STEEL is devastated by the passing of Darrell. We attended the Los Angeles show when DAMAGEPLAN + SHADOWS FALL + THE HAUNTED came through town a few weeks ago (so this is really hard to deal with). We know Patrick Lachman (vocalist), and our condolences go out to Vinnie Paul, the Abbott family, Bobzilla, Patrick and rest of the crew, and PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN fans worldwide. A real tragedy



Don Airey (DEEP PURPLE): "Deeply shocked by what has happened. I saw PANTERA play a few years ago at Wolverhampton Civic. They were brilliant, and Darrell a master of his art. Met them briefly afterwards, and they were charming humorous and low key. One memory of the evening is of a lone punter jumping on stage during the encore, then not having the courage to dive off. Most bands would have the road crew throw him out, but Darrell went up to him, patted him on the head, gave him a beer, and the guy cheerfully sat out the rest of the number on the drum riser. The man will be missed. My sympathies to the family, particularly Vinnie."




Billy Sheehan (STEVE VAI, MR. BIG, TALAS, NIACIN): "This SUCKS!! I'm so pissed. Dimebag was always a good guy to me — I met him out & about in L.A. a few times. Very sad to lose him. Great player, too. This is a catastrophe."


According to the CHILDREN OF BODOM fan site Scythes-of Bodom.com, plans exist for a "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott tribute concert to be held in Helsinki, Finland. Artists that have volunteered their services for the show include CHILDREN OF BODOM, along with Lauri Porra from SINERGY and members of GODSPLAGUE, GRAYBACK and THUNDERSTONE. However, nothing has been confirmed yet. More details will be provided soon.


Former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach honored "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott's memory by performing PANTERA's "Walk" with his band during a concert in Madrid, Spain Friday night (Dec. 10). Sebastian reportedly sounded angry and upset over his friend's tragic death as he lifted up a poster of Dimebag that someone from the 1,500-strong crowd had thrown up on stage.


DANZIG bassist Jerry Montano has sent the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET in regards to the tragic death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott:

"I just wanted to say my heart goes out to Vince, Rita, and the entire PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN family. We lost undoubtfully the greatest metal guitarist of all time and a great friend.

"I had the honor of calling [Dimebag] a friend and even bandmember at one time (I was lucky enough to play bass for Dime and Vinnie's side band GASOLINE). I have to say just being next to him while he was playing his guitar was always a sacred experience — he was truly unbelievable when it came to his playing, but he really shined when it came to being a friend.

"I can remember during reheasal one day or night (who the fuck knows at that point, right?!!) after the four of us finished playing (fourth being my boy Thurber T. Mingus, our singer and friend from the southern metal band PUMPJACK). Dime and I were hangin having a few beers in the back. I remember asking him, 'How the FUCK do you do it man!!!?' and he looked at me with a very humble look and said, 'Man, I just close my eyes and it comes right through my body my hands and outta my guitar.' I remember him telling me he doesn't even know what's gonna come out of him when he records his solos and that it was a gift given to him from god that he never questions.

"Truly amazing.

"He was THE ONE THE ONLY and there will NEVER be another.

"Words like kind, caring, loving, generous amazing, undeniable, compassionate and god-sized are what come to mind when thinking about this kind man I had the privilege of getting to know very well over the years.

"And there is the touring we did together ... I swear, [it] literally has taken years and years off all of our lives!! GODDAMN! Ozzfest!! Reinventing tour!! Those four months alone almost did me in — literally! I remember he was as excited as me when I landed the NOTHINGFACE gig, and gave us the tour immediately!! (Good times). I will never forget one word, one moment, or one note for as long as I exist. EVER.

"I just needed to say you'll be greatly missed my brother (I still feel like I am gonna get 4- and 5- and 6-in-the-morning phone calls fom you!!). You will never be forgotten — and [you] truly made an impact on my life forever.

"So let's sit back and remember the good times, all the wild and insane times and the quiet cool mellow hung over times, and know the entire world lost a friend and hero. So now he graduates from this life to go on to his destiny as the greatest metal guitarist of all time, a true bonafide LEGEND.

"CHEERS to you, my friend!!! 'I'll see you on the other side.' At the great bar in the sky. Until then, you'll forever be in our hearts.

(Just like you always said!) C'MON with your C'MON!!!

"With all my love, respect, admiration... and with great regret, I now say goodbye.

"GODS NEVER DIE — DIME LIVES"



MURDERDOLLS frontman Wednesday 13 has issued the following statement in regards to the tragic death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott:

"It's 3:31 am here, early Saturday morning in the bible belt of North Carolina. I'm still in shock from the 'Dimebag' story this week. I honestly did not believe it at first. I didn't know him personally, but to say I wasn't touched by his band and style would be lying. This is the most bizarre thing I've ever heard of. It's a sad week for us all in the music world, and all I can ask is why????

"I raise a toast in the memory of the fallen..."



ANNIHILATOR guitarist Jeff Waters has posted the following message on the group's official web site:

"Not sure what to say. Still in a bit of a state of shock.

"I didn't know Dime very well but always looked up to his incredible riffing and writing. One of the top 10 most important and influential metal guitarists, no doubt.

"I wish Vinnie, family and all the band members involved (including Phil Anselmo) all the best and my thoughts go out to every one of them. Certainly 'shock' is the best and only way I can describe my feelings at this moment."


NINE INCH NAILS mainman Trent Reznor has posted the following message on the group's web site:

"What a sad time. First Jhonn (sic) and now Dimebag. Two very different and very great people who will be sorely missed."



AMEN/SCUM frontman Casey Chaos has sent the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott:

"Dimebag and Vinnie were two of the most generous, down to earth and influential guys American metal will ever know.

"Dimebag's unmistakable lifestyle and larger-than-life spirit changed music forever. His generosity, his music and living life to the fullest was truly inspirational to anyone in any band or anyone alive. I don't think there is a soul alive that hasn't been touched by this.

"I had the great privilege to be interviewed by Dime and his brother for 'Headbanger's Ball' (Photo#1, Photo#2, Photo#3) just a few months ago. He greeted me with gifts and stories as we talked of a tour together in the near future. Up to that time, we had met on numerous occasions as anyone in a band today does.

"To say that we lost a legendary performer is an injustice, for he was truly unique and an incredibly funny guy. His mere presence would light up any room in any country, even if you didn't understand the language. His lust for life would exude from him, and you felt as if you had just fallen in love. He was so down to earth and generous to the degree that he gave me a present of Crown Royal (Photo) with a handmade label that I have kept on my mantle since then, and there it will remain until my dying day.

"At this time, as with anyone who was around him, I have tears in my eyes. I just wish that today those tears were from the laughter due to his exuberant spirit. I remember Larkin [Shannon, ex-AMEN and current GODSMACK drummer] telling me about him and then showing me the videos and we'd laugh so hard it hurt.

"I don't think the metal community will ever truly recover from this tragic loss. In passing he has left a legacy of music that will remain timeless for future generations to be influenced by. The sound of his work is unmistakable and completely unique. A product of his lifestyle and pure intensity as a writer and a guitarist that was truly his own. Make no doubts about it when it came down to it that on and off stage the man
was the MAN.

"He was heavy metal on steroids. What Larry Flynt did for porn is like what Darrell did for guitar playing. Always with a smile on his face he talked the talk and did a hell of a lot more than walk the walk. He was unmistakably a one-of-a-kind human being, above it all a career that was never-ending, which is unheard of in these modern day one-hit-wonder times. He wrote some of the heaviest riffs that metal has ever had the privilege of hearing.

"My heart goes out to you, Vinnie, and the family, for I can't imagine how good life must have been, from the day he was born to the day that some jealous coward does the unthinkable and robs the world of a truly inspirational soul. Now I'm gonna sit back and watch his DVDs and remember a man I wish the world could take lessons from. To me, Dimebag was life with a big heart, a sound bigger than life, and he was happy to share it with you the way he shared his soul with all of us.

"For any of us who have had the pleasure of meeting him, I feel we are a hell
of a lot richer from it than those who didn't. For those of you who didn't, listen to the music and watch the videos and I am sure you will know what I mean.

"I'm keeping this bottle of Crown you gave me, Dime, 'till we can drink it together again. Thank you to the family for bringing up such a loveable and honorable man. May the world's grief help to heal the wounds of an irreplaceable loss.

"Thank you Darrell from all of us in AMEN/SCUM.

"Thanks for the legacy."



Former ALICE IN CHAINS guitarist Jerry Cantrell told the Dallas Morning News that DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell was a one-of-a-kind character — a hard-partying Yosemite Sam who had a tender, more nurturing side.

"He was a deep soul," Cantrell said. "He was always there with a smile ... which is why this doesn't make any sense at all. Why would anyone have a beef with him?"

Cantrell recalled the time Dimebag borrowed his Yukon truck and returned it full of graffiti and adhesive stickers. "That's the kind of guy he was. ... He loved to pull pranks on you. ... He always had a joke and a smile."


TYPE O NEGATIVE drummer Johnny Kelly has has issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell:

"I'm not really sure what to say or how to put it in words to describe what I'm feeling at the moment. The world has lost a genuine person, one of the true greats. We've lost a great friend, some have lost an idol, but more tragic than any of that, a father lost his son and Vinnie lost his brother.

"Since TYPE O NEGATIVE first toured with PANTERA in 1995, both bands have remained close friends. No matter how much time would pass, whenever we would get together it always seemed like we had just seen each other the night before. Touring with them was an amazing experience that I still talk about ten years later. I have so many memories of Darrell and all of it included laughter. Hanging out with Darrell, Rita, Vinnie, PANTERA and DAMAGEPLAN was always an adventure. You never knew what was going to happen but it usually wound up with your stomach hurting from laughing so much and a really nasty hangover in the morning.

"I know that Darrell was an amazing guitar player and many know him just for that. I would have to take a step back every once in a while to see him for that, because that wasn't how I knew him. I knew him to be a very enthusiastic, generous, animated and one of the funniest guys that just happened to be one of the greatest guitarists of our time. He had a way with people that after you met him, you became a part of his family. We always considered him family and we're devastated. Heaven definitely has its hands full now that Darrell's shown up.

"Even though I have written this about Dime, I want to send our condolences to the families and friends of the others that were so senselessly taken away from us on Wednesday night."



PHILIP ANSELMO:


"I don't have a big official statement. I do have a lot of inside knowledge on the PANTERA feud from Philip's side and tonight he gave me the green light to let everyone else in on what I know. He trusts me to do this, and I take 100 percent responsibility for anything that is inaccurate, but I'm confident you all know I'm not going to touch on this subject unless it's from the heart. He didn't even give me any specifics except for the final part of this post... he just wants me to tell people what I know to be true.

"Philip loved Darrell like a brother, always. They accomplished things together that most wouldn't even dare to dream. None of us can know what it's like to be riding such a big machine, it changes the face of music and brings joy millions of people's lives around the globe. The rewards are big, but the stress is unimaginable if things don't go perfectly. Yes, PANTERA broke up and there was a lot of shit-talking through the media. There are two people on this board who would periodically ask me about what's going to happen with PANTERA in the future. I told them each time that I don't know when, but I'm 100 percent sure that we will see PANTERA together again. I told them that when PANTERA does get back together, you will know somebody who never lost faith, not for a second. Why did I tell them this? Because I know Philip loves those guys and when he was ready, he would reach out to them and try to make it work again. I had the feeling that one morning (afternoon maybe), all the 'Cowboys From Hell' boys would just roll out of the rack and say 'Let's go!'

"Of all the time I've spent with Rex and Philip, I never badgered them about PANTERA, but the subject did come up every once in a while. As for Rex, he would refer to the state of things simply as 'silly nonsense.' All I ever got out of Philip was something like 'Nyaaaa... I just don't feel like sitting down and writing PANTERA riffs right now.' ... and that's it! No crazy accusations, name-calling, or carrying on. As a matter of fact, in the middle of all the heat, Philip described Vinnie as 'the perfect drummer' and that Vinnie could drum more perfect than a drum machine if he so chose. What he said of Dime, he also repeated tonight. 'The best of the best.'

"It's sad that the media would irritate the situation so much. Countless times, Kate and I would listen in on Phil doing interviews. Always, always, always, the jackals wanted PANTERA dirt. Sometimes Philip would give it to them, sometimes he would not. However every single time I was there, he expressed his love for, and wished luck to Vinnie and Dime but that was somehow left out of the final print more times than not. I was at Philip's house a few weeks ago and I informed him that I handle the official PANTERA site now, and he asked me if I talked to Dime. I said, 'No, when was the last time YOU talked to him?' With a sigh, he said 'Three years.' Not a 'Fuckin right 3 years' not a 'Yeah three years and it's gonna be three more'... but the dude was genuinely disappointed about the situation. I could tell... the time to patch things up was drawing near.

"There's more I want to share, but it's almost 5AM right now, and I just managed to hold myself together long enough to get that out.

"Philip isn't hiding out or waiting for the right moment to speak, he's in Texas right now searching for answers to this tragedy the best he can. There was one thing he asked of me, that I humbly bring to you all:

"'Darrell my brother. The best of the best.'
