Dimebag Darrell Abbott, formerly of seminal 90's metal band Pantera and currently of Damageplan, was shot dead onstage during a gig in Ohio by the ultimate death metal posterboy Nathan Gale. Here are some key quotes from the article.
"witnesses reported hearing an accusation about Abbott breaking up his former band"
Officer James Niggemeyer, who, if I had his last name I would have had it legally changed. (this guy's just waiting for a racially charged police brutality case to come his way, and when it does, may god have mercy on his soul...and his name), shot the gunman to death, presumably due to the fact that Niggemeyer must have been a Pantera fan.
"The tall, physically imposing Gale hung out at Bears Den Tattoo Studio, staring at people and trying to get them to talk about music and bands, manager Lucas Bender said."
But here's the best part!
Dozens of messages were posted to the band's Web site after the shootings.
"This is the worst day in metal history," one posting read.
"The metal world feels your pain," another wrote.
"How dare this man try to stop the METAL!!!" wrote someone else.
"Dimebag will be back! You can't kill a man forever who had the metal pulsing through his veins!" The messages continued.
"He's down there with our lord and master satan, rocking out with Randy Rose, the Great White guy, and f**king OZZY man!" Referring to superstar Ozzy Ozbourne, who, all appearances aside, is not believed to be dead."
"This was a f**king awesome metal show, man! I never seen nothing so good. F**kin' A, man!" These writers were not available for further comment.
I haven't laughed that LOUD in a long time.
