Looks like it’s true… this is incredibly sad, f*&ked up news. This is the very group my band was standing 20 feet away from backstage at the Quest nightclub here in Minneapolis a few weeks ago (see: my Glamorous Life post). This guy wasn’t just another “metal dude” – he was an amazing guitarist, one of the best for the kind of music he played. I only gather this from reading a lot of interviews and his old “how-to” columns in Guitar World, but Darrell always seemed like he’d be a really cool guy to hang out with. And now thanks to some knucklehead, he’s with us no more. No one seems to have reported yet if his brother, who was playing drums, was killed also – I think it would almost be better if he was. Would you want to live the rest of your life with the memory of your brother being killed in right front of you?
Not talking to him when we were backstage is yet another notch on the belt of my thankfully rather short “I should have…” list – right up there with not going to see Nirvana in 1994 with my friends thinking I’d catch them next time they came (not to mention The Breeders were opening for them that tour – what the Hell was I thinking passing that up?!!)
Goes to show you and me both, no matter how shitty you think your life is, it could be much worse. Like nonexistent.
I hope the killer gets a hearty serving of ass-capping of a different kind: dropping the soap in front of his cellmate Bubba in the prison showers for the next 20 years. Bubba – if you’re reading this, this guy killed 5 innocent people. There’s no need to wait for him to drop the soap. Kick it out of his hands. Make him your bitch. Better yet, consider this guy a free lifetime supply of bitch. You’ve got nothing else to do, right?
Hope you’re still tearin’ it up wherever you are, Dimebag… I’ll forgive you for the wiener thing.
came across your blog on a "next blog" spree and wanted to thank you for the entertaining read…..
sad, so sad 'bout dimebag…heard it on the news this morning….but love your "kick the soap outta his hand" attitude….
I'll be back…..

You carry with you a great power, MeatSmoothie.
Never ever skip going to a show you want to see or talking to a Rock Star in your presence. Never. Do. That. Because if you do, THEY WILL DIE.
Use your powers for good… UNLESS you happen to be at a party with Marc Anthony. Then do what you must.
Ha ha! That's some funny shit. Maybe I'll do just that. Look out, Michael Bolton.
Thankfully Vinnie and the rest of the band are alive.. however the gunman was also killed, so unfortunately he wont be able to be visited by Bubba. I think that instead of shooting him, they should have let the mosh pit get ahold of him.. Im sure the fans could have given him a much better death.
"No one seems to have reported yet if his brother, who was playing drums, was killed also"
Well MEAT, that's because he wasn't killed. Go here for a looksie…http://www.damageplan.net
