    that‘s not just insane, that‘s f*ckin horrible! Dimebag Darrell was a legend. He was truly a Rock and Roll Heavy Metal God. He‘ll ALWAYS live on through his music. R.I.P Dime…

    I think that this whole thing is a bunch of fuckin bull shit. Why did that crazy fuck do such a thing to such a great guitarist and person. Im just glad that i got to see damage plan twice. One of these days I will be in a band and he will be the reason why.

    Truly Dimebag was a legend and innovator that will be missed. A friend of mine in Spain said that a home video of the shooting was leaked to European TV, being to graphic for US audiences. As a fan confused and enraged by this tragedy I feel I must see this video. If any one knows where a copy could be found (downloaded) please email me. dside505@msn.com

    im a great fan of the almighty pantera
    its a real shame that diamond darrel had to leave us he realy was a legend
    i looked up to him as an icon and now when i play my guitar i think of what a superb guitar player he is
    thank you pantera for rocking my world.

    I think it is a huge shame that this happened. I mean, who would actually have the balls to get up on stage and shoot one of the premier guitar legends 6 times. What the fuck is wrong with our society. It‘s too late to do anything about this shit now. I would however, like to know what kind of security there was at this fucking night club. Every day i fuckin‘ play my guitar, all i think about is how big of an influence he had on my life. I choked up a little bit when i found out that Van Halen gave dime his original yellow and black charvel to be buried with. Well R.I.P Dimebag Darrel.
    My prayers to go out his family and friends, ecspecially Vinny and Zakk W.

    uhhh…like i got to say something about Manuel….not to pick on u or anything but the JoJo guy was right…so u couldnt really be a die hard pantera fan cuz wen dime first came out he was given the nickname Diamond Darrel cuz in texas they always gave each other nicknames…then later people started to find out that he was a pothead so he was later given the nickname dimebag cuz he couldnt afford shit so he would buy 10 dollars worth of weed.Trust me dude i was closer to him then u ever are. dude i live like not even 13 miles away from his hometown of Arlington, TX.

    Yo no se hablar ni escribir el ingles, espero entiendan o traduzcan lo siguiente: Para mi Darrell siginficaba mucho, recuerdo que empeze a escuchar Pantera desde la secundaria y bueno la noticia no la crei cuando la empezaron a pasar por noticieros que aqui en Mexico nunca se habian dedicado a mencionar articulos de este tipo de musica, solo puedo decir que espero que en donde este el grandisimo hijo de su putisima madre del pendejo que lo asesino le esten dando una putisa diaria, ya que matarlo a el tambien no serviria de nada pues dejaria de sufrir y yo creo que lo unico que se merece ese tipo es eso sufrir el resto de su vida por quitarnos a nosotros a una gran leyenda y porsupuesto uno de los mejores guitarristas en la musica, Solo me queda decir que este donde este el buen Darrell espero que este bien y que desde aqui estaremos pensando en el y recordandolo como el gran Darrell que fue, Descansa en Paz My Dear Darrell….
