That's not justice. Putting him behind bars for life would be justice. Do you know how many pantera fans there are in the average prison!? Woulda been hell on earth for that shmuck. that's a good point Pete. |

If it wasn't for Pantera and Dime, I would have never picked up an instrument. This guy was a hero of mine, flat out. Yeah, Damageplan sucked, but the shit he has done speaks for itself. And coming from a guitarist point of view, if you think he wasn't doing anything remotely talented or inovative, get your ears checked or put down your guitar because your full of shit. And think of some of the bands you like locally, because a few wouldn't be who they are without his influence. Random Acts of Violence, Dead Like Death, and Disengaged sure as hell wouldn't be what they are without this guy. |

Does Sabbath or Ozzy sound like the Beatles? No, but they were their main influence to start playing together and writing music. Its the fact that this guy was so good that we picked up a guitar because of it. |

As if you know who every band member is influenced by...Is that part of your KVLT filtering system? do you call up bands and ask them "okay, let's get this out of the way, you don't like pantera do you?" "well yeah...." *click*. I'm pretty sure there are a shitload of metal bands influenced by shit like bjork, tori amos, shakira, tatu, melissa etheridge, zztop, but you don't necessarily hear it in their music. |

Zelinsky has issued the following statement regarding the death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell: "As I sit here awake at 2:34 am, feeling numb beyond belief to the news that our good friend Darrell Abbott is no longer with us, I would like to share my thoughts as they come to mind. "I met Darrell when he was only a kid, not old enough to get into the clubs for which he would later grace the stages throughout his impressive career. This kid was great at 16 years old and destined to become the idol we now know as Dimebag Darrell. "Darrell became the true persona of a rock star. He personified and exemplified the rock life …he lived it 24/7. It is the Dimebag Darrells that make this industry we all are so emotionally attached to 'bigger than life.' He truly knew his role...after all; he was also rock's biggest fan. He grew up with the dream and had what it takes to put it all together. "Anyone who ever met Dimebag Darrell will tell you, they were touched for life. He treated his fans like royalty, as he knew what it was like to be a kid at a concert and seeing your idol onstage…he wanted to give it all back. When Darrell was off stage, he was always aware of whom he was and the effect he had on his fans. People who knew him will tell you that behind the persona of Dimebag Darrell was a guy who was kind, loyal, sentimental, full of emotion, full of life, charismatic and extremely talented. Darrell was an artist not only with a guitar but also with a pen. When I would meet with him, he would show up with a file folder full of drawings of his guitar designs. "Just a few weeks ago I was with Darrell at a show in Milwaukee. Backstage after the show, two kids were waiting at the stage door and would not leave without seeing Darrell. When he got wind of this he insisted they be brought back to meet him. These kids were so in awe to meet their idol, then Darrell rocked their world when he put them on the VIP list for the Chicago show the very next day. "Darrell was one of rock's greatest guitarists. He took metal to whole new level and showed young rockers how the instrument was to be played. He made young kids all over the world want to pick up a guitar and play like Dime! He potentially inspired more kids to play guitar than any artist in recent history. "On a personal note, words cannot express the loss I am feeling. Of all the stars I have met in the past 28 years, nobody touched me like Darrell. He was the artist who would bring me on stage and introduce me as the world's greatest guitar maker. He was a fan of mine as I was a fan of him. No single artist has done more for the popularity of Dean Guitars than Dimebag Darrell. "These past months working with Darrell on new guitar designs, talking to him just about every day have been the most invigorating times in my 28-year career. Seeing Dime onstage with a Dean in his hands again brought back feelings I thought were gone forever. Just yesterday I was on the phone with him discussing the photo shoot we had set up for the show in Michigan on Friday to introduce his new Razorback design. He started talking about how he couldn't wait to get home in a few days to work on the new DAMAGEPLAN CD. He said this new CD was going to be heavier than ever and blow people's minds. "I cannot help but think about Rita. She and Darrell had been together since they were in 3rd grade. I have worked very closely with her these past months as she handles all of Dime's affairs. She is truly the woman behind the man and Dimebag would have told you, he wouldn't have been Dimebag without Rita. She is one very special person and I cannot fathom the pain she must be feeling. Our deepest sympathy goes out to his brother Vinnie and the rest of his family. Our hearts go out as well to the other victims of this horrible tragedy. "Darrell was a living legend. He lived every day of his life to the fullest. I will always remember his smile onstage. He loved what he did and it showed. No matter how big the crowd, he could always find you and fling a guitar pick your way. We at Dean have lost a great artist but more importantly, a true friend. The world has lost a great human being." (Thanks: Vekin From blabbermouth.net |

I said "particularly influenced" as in showing some obvious points of comparison. Not knowing what every member of every band I listen to is precisely why I added the word "particularly", mongoloid. PS - Bands influenced by ZZ TOP or TATU >>>> Bands influenced by PANTERA |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 4:47pm - BornSoVile ""] I have lots of interviews from Guitar World, Guitar Player magazine, Dime always said his biggest influence was Kiss. what a bummah. this dude is a hero. I wish I coulda met him. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 5:08pm - dreadkill ""] last night verizon sent a tech over to work on my dsl and while he was trying to fix it, we talked about the dimebag murder. then he brought up the station fire and mentioned his nephew was killed in it. turns out he was my friend's uncle. he ended up making my dsl worse and now i am on temporary dial up, but it was nice talking to him about stuff. |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 9:49pm - RustedAngel ""] just watched the home video #3...It's pretty sad to watch considering dime is one of the guys either filming, or in front of the camera in most of the scenes having a good time. :-/ |

| ___________________________________ [Dec 11,2004 1:14pm - DEATH2ALL ""] it was most likely heard by someone on, or on the side of the stage. it isn't as loud on the stage as it is in the crowd. |
