not Dimebag! A small part of my soul circa 8th grade is irreparably broken. ------------------------------------ At Least 3 Dead, 4 Wounded In Nightclub Shooting Witnesses: Alleged Gunman Went Onto Stage, Fired Shots COLUMBUS, Ohio -- At least three people died and four 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 Road. 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 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. Witnesses said that a bouncer at the club tackled the alleged gunman before that person was shot and killed. It was unclear as to whom shot the alleged gunman. 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. |

Pantera was one of the bands that I really enoyed in my early teens, this is wrong, I'm really shocked and sad. I hope Vinnie is ok, he is an amazing musician too. :( |

A cop shot him. This is sad as fuck, alright I haven't been spinning much of his output recently but in the nineties I loved Pantera. His musicality was staggering and he was a fucking good laugh as their home movies show. R.I.P. |

I was shocked when I heard this. Pantara although outdated now, did improve the standard of production on metal records. RIP *does the rock sign with a tear in eye* |

As far back as i can remember he was always one of my favorite guitarists. He had an incredible style all of his own. It was always fun watching his backstage antics. Weather it was working over Billy Milano on stage, smashing up a friends car ("fuck it, ima buy him a new one") or just pounding drinks and entertaining his fans. The Cadillac Rockbox will surely be missed. R I P |

this is sad people! even if you didn't like pantera, its fucking really shitty that they were gunned down during a performance. I can see if some losers overdosed on heroin or crack, but the fact that someone decided to take a life of a bunch of musicians (during a concert no less) is fucking gay an stupid. I really liked the song "floods" and "revolution is my name". I hope vinnie is okay too, he is/was a badass drummer. |

I know, what a horrible, HORRIBLE way to go. Getting gunned down in the place you love most, the stage. Vinnie Paul is OK at least, I heard he was shot too. Guess not. I rocked out to Far Beyond Driven last night. |

This is the first time i have really been effected by a loss of a musician. I really loved his style and his personality. Ever since i was around 12 and my sister gave me a pantera tape. That was 10 years of loving his style. It's so odd and way before his time. Yeah on stage.... what the hell? This is so unprovoked and cowardly. damn |

What a way to go....that fucking sucks, Pantera is a true rock band, that really blows. |

By CHELSEA J. CARTER, AP National Writer "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, who was fatally shot during a performance, was a frenetic, ear-shattering guitarist whose riffs for Pantera and more recently Damageplan were a staple of heavy metal music. He was 38. Abbott was shot to death as he took the stage Wednesday with Damageplan and began to play the first song of the concert at the Alrosa Villa nightclub in Columbus, Ohio. Three other people also were fatally shot before a police officer shot to death the gunman. The deaths shook the heavy metal music industry as colleagues reeled from the news and fans flooded Web sites to share their grief. "This is insane and this is beyond travesty," Killswitch Engage frontman and former Damageplan tour partner Howard Jones told MTV. "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." Rob Blasko Nicholson, the former Ozzy Osbourne bassist, told the music channel Abbott was a legend. "I'm speechless," he said. "This is totally unreal." "When you think of '90s heavy metal or hard rock, Pantera is one of these seminal bands. They are quoted today as influences by many bands," said Tom Calderone, MTV's executive vice president. "Hard rock has lost a legendary guitar player." Abbott and his brother, former Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul, produced Damageplan's debut album, "New Found Power," which was released in February. Other band members are vocalist Patrick Lachman and bassist Bob Zilla. "Damageplan carries on the tradition Pantera started, the ... hell-raising tradition we were all about," Vinnie Paul Abbott told The Dallas Morning News in October. "We do play some Pantera songs. Me and Dime wrote them, and we feel like we have the right to play them. But the focus is on Damageplan." (continued) |

Born on Aug. 20, 1966, in Dallas, Darrell Abbott and his brother were introduced to music by their father, country songwriter Jerry Abbott, who owned a recording studio. Although Abbott grew up around country music, he often said he gravitated toward rock music and was influenced by the likes of Tony Iommi, Ace Frehley, Eddie Van Halen (news) and the late Randy Rhodes. The Abbott brothers and bassist Rex Rocker formed Pantera in 1983. Then Abbott went by the name "Diamond Darrell." Abbott later began to use "Dimebag" and was often referred to as "Dime" by fans and friends. Pantera's early music leaned more toward hard rock. Joined in 1987 by singer Phil Anselmo, the band began to develop a heavier sound. After releasing a few independent albums, Pantera signed with Atlantic Records in 1990. It was also the period when Abbott came into his own as a guitar player, developing his heavy, frenetic sound that can first be heard on the 1990 album "Cowboys from Hell" and on the 1992 standout "Vulgar Display of Power." It was followed up by 1994's "Far Beyond Driven." Pantera's manager Kim Zide-Davis, who worked with Abbott 1994 to 2003, was overwhelmed by the news of his death. She told the AP she often told the guitarist he was "a living cartoon character." "He would do things that you wouldn't believe a real person was capable of," she said. She said there was a sweet and caring side of Abbott that many people never saw. "Everything you saw from him was real. That was who he was," she said. "He lived and unfortunately died by his guitar. What you saw on stage was his enjoyment." Abbott and his brother left Pantera in 2003 and formed Damageplan. In recent years, he also made recording appearances on Nickleback's "The Long Road" and with one of his influences, KISS' Ace Frehley. Dozens of messages were posted to the Dallas band's Web site after the shootings. "This is the worst day in metal history," one posting read. "The meta |

Seriously, that was quite intense. He shot the guy while he was reloading. According to a radio DJ, the guy got on stage and started screaming something about pantera and starting firing shots. |

Its a horrific thing to happen. I remember when Elliott Smith killed himself I was in complete shock, I can't imagine what it would have been like if he was killed in such a brutal way as this. I don't know much about Darrell, but I can appreciate the shock those of you that grew up with him must be feeling! RIP |

Written @ punktorrents And one other thing. Phil Anselmo has apparently been saying shit about him in Metal Hammer, saying Darrell needs a beating, or something. How much of a cunt is he feeling now? I kinda lost any respect for Anselmo when he had that Heroin overdose. Ok, people make mistakes, but to do it again? No respect from me at all. Phil survives two near-death experiences and lives. Darrell gets killed doing the thing he loves most. No fuckin' justice in the world... |

Crucified for no sins An image beneath me Whats within our plans for life It all seems so unreal I'm a man cut in half in this world Left in my misery... 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 |
