I was reading about this, and was saying "that's some fucked up shit, dude".

And then, in the back of my mind, I thought: "I wonder how long it will take the RIAA to blame this on internet downloads".

the blackest of humor Jim, but damn funny

Dear Dime,
You are gonna forever remain in our hearts as one of the metal demi-gods who kicked serious ass with all the ripping solos. Keep the faith up there, man
Bhaskar

As someone who HAS fallen under the target of the security people at the Alrosa Villa, and as a fellow lifetime ax-playa - I am sickened to think that some demented freak hellbent on mayhem can just blow by security at the back door . . . and march into the club with a gun blazing. I happened to find myself in a situation at the Alrosa awhile back where I ended up 'lifting' three cans of beer. I was dead broke at the time - and, I was thirsty! Pat Travers was playing that night. A co-owner of the Alrosa and 5 or 6 of their 'elite' bouncers marched me into a back room. I figured I'd be nothing but body parts when they were through with me. Point being. Don't steal a beer in the Alrosa Villa. They WATCH for shit like that. Shame that club owners are not required to bring the same kind of vigilance to the front and back entrances to clubs like the Alrosa. Where's the security training? What about protection for performers and patrons instead of BEER!!! For my full recount of my experience with security at the Alrosa Villa . . . and to get a perspective on just what matters most to club owners - catch my review: DIMEBAG DARRELL AND LIGHTS OUT AT ALROSA. You can find it 6 or so pages in on Google, by simply searching the words: Dimebag Darrell. Rest in Peace Dime. And for the rest of us all . . . let's get the problem fixed. Licensed, Trained, Security Guards at the door to these places - is now a MUST. Don't let Dime's death be in vein. Rock On.

excellent points Darry, thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts

you fucking americans, one day you will kill eachother with your fucking guns.
you are the worst nation that ever lived on this planet.

Never mind the death of 27 million people under the reign of Mao, WE'VE KILLED A GUITARIST!

It's a good thing I know that there are people in Europe whose brains actually function.

I notice commenter #6 didn't type that in Rusian, no need to thank us (and our guns and our rock 'n' roll).

Were the Inquisition, the crusades, the religious wars, the crimes against science and the killing of a Dutchman inspired by New World values? I think not.

i think this is a very shity thing .how come you can't get in a slipknot concert
with antything but you can get in with a gun at a damageplan concert . i send all my regards to the family .. and i am so sorry this happened ..OHIO SUX BALLS .i know ,i live here ...
WHAT DOES PHILL HAVE TO SAY????????
DIMEBAG LIVES ON 4 EVER THROUGH HIS
MUSIC !!!!!!!

DIMEBAG ni tu ni tu musica caeran jamas en el olvido ....DEP ,RIP the best guitar ever on stage

Well I seem to remember a film-maker named Van Goth getting shot and then beheaded in the street a few weeks ago. Last time I checked Holland was part of Europe.

yes, we have a violent culture and too many guns in the hands of too many freaks, but we hardly have a monopoly on murderous fanatics

Hey "man" from europe, the only things bigger than our guns are our dicks. I think that's where your hatred of us really comes from.

Dimebag Darrell was a inspiration to me and my fellow friends to start a band - Deception. He was everything anyone could look up to as a role model. I wish he was still alive today, because if he was, the world wouldnt be in such a hell right now.

Ever since the death of Dimebag all I want to do is pluck my pubes out one by one. RIP DIMEBAG, I LOVE YOU MAN....IF YOU LOVE DIMEBAG LIKE I DO, E MAIL ME. DAVE.LEDFORD@PENSKE.COM

Lets forget the music for now and remember the kind of guy he was. He always had a smile on his face and never walked past a fan that was egar to meet him. He always signed autographs, talked and just hanged out like he was on of the guys. Hell, he was one of the guys. Seeing him walk around the mall, eating at Chili's on Cooper St. or chilling at the tattoo bar for a drink or 12..He was so fucking cool. Just going to the memorial the other night makes you think how much he touched the lives of people. He loved his fans more than music. I hope he is up there playing his heart out. In fact I know he is.

We love you Dime & miss you dearly.
RIP Brother!!

i love phil!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is for all you fuckin phil bashers.how can you blame this whole situation on phil? so what he got pissed and said some pretty hateful shit, so fuckin what, we all do, it aint like dime never said nothing about him either. calling superjoint ritual,"superdope ritual". get over it, its not phil's fault that he's dead,pnil is the metal god!!! pantera was nothing until phil joined the group!!! and besides phil kept it real, true metal, with down, superjoint, and viking crown, he didnt turn trendy and do that gay damage plan bullshit, i love phil and always will, stop blaming it on him, and handle this like adults, now because of the metal media, we've lost two fuckin great metal gods, phil, and dime!!!

its fucking sad fact but true.we lost one of the fastest and greatest metal players.
at least he left us all doing what he best could do and we most love ..
GOD BLESS YOU PAL
WE'LL ALWAYS BE MISSING YOU
WORLD'S CRYING YOU A FUCKING OCEAN

To the Russian Asshole who thinks we're the worst nation ever. Ummm, oh yeah, did you know we're the nation with the most FREEDOM you nazi fuck. Also, even though you may not like this, yes, it's true, "Americans" all derive from somewhere other than America. Unless your Native American that it. You do know who they are right? Your a fucking dipshit pal.....Have fun in your communist country.

Fuck you, you fucking europeans, you would'nt even be there is it wasnt for the U.S in world war two. Fucking faggot communist, suck my fucking American cock and go take a fucking bath you stinking ass euro-fuck!!!!

DIMEBAG FUCKING GREATEST GUITAREST EVER
LETS FUCKIN HOLD OUR BLACKTOOTHS IN THE AIR AND FUCKIN BLAST YOUR PANTERA
CDS AND LISTEN TO THOSE INSANE RIFFS

THERES ONLY ONE METAL GOD!!!!!!!!!

Darrell "Dimebag Abbott

There was not anybody like him as a person and a musicain may you rest in peace brother!!

Phil is with waldo of the wheres waldo fame. I saw the superretard tour of phils the summer before I saw damageplan and it was a bunch of pantera wanna bees playing with him. Hey david lee roth is a suck ass radio DJ now, while Vanhalens bus is still a rolling. Phil will be a fuckin roadie in 10 years telling some crank whore he use to be famous. and shell just feel sorry for him and blow him out of sadness.

Dimebag Darrell was truly one of the greatest guitarists to have ever lived.....and that was the most f**ked up way to end his life. May whoever killed him rot in torment.

Dimebag will live forver.

Dimebag rules forever!

DIME WAS A GOD.HE LIVES THOUGH HIS CDS.I MET DIME IN PHILLY ON THE POWER TOUR & TWICE AT OZZFEAST.HE WILL LIVE ON.PHIL IS A GREAT PERSON I KNOW HIS COMMENTS WERE WRONG.BUT PHIL DIDN'T WANT DIME TO GET KILLED. LONG LIVE DIMEBAG BBL

we all will miss dime he was a man ahead of his time so these black tooth is for you #### phil .

for anyone who lived metal in the 90s should remember that dime was the best guitar player in the world. and vinnie is the best drummer in the world.but also phil was the general of heavy metal.pantera's music showed us it was o.k. to indulge in our primal nature.

I dont go one DAY without thinking about the first time I heard brother "DIME" squeel out CFH tracks OR the Vulgar album. As a die hard fan, distant brother,..he is all I ever talked about...Vince and Dime both! All my friends, family, co-workers alike knew me for my passionate thoughts and beliefs of those so called distant brothers I met once at a busy concert at St. Louis Riverport Amphitheater. I noticed Vince walking around the crowd, hard to believe no one picked him out! But I casually walked up as if we were family,..comfortable. I miss DIME, it hurts. I am eager and intend to somehow meet with Vince one day, and talk as friends do. I wish I had a way to help get the peace of mind for Vince, that he deserves. I wear my "In Momory" shirt proudly, and keep my "catch the flame pick" in my pocket. For those who know...what a brother, sends chills down my spine when I put on Damageplan. THERE WAS MANY YEARS EVERY SQ.INCH OF MY ROOM WAS PANTERA, ALWAYS SEARCHED HARD TO FIND ITEMS, MADE EVERYONE WATCH HOME VIDS, AND RECITED DIME...."IT'S SO IMPORTANT, TO MAKE BEST FRIENDS IN LIFE" I LOVE YA' DIME AND VINCE... LIKE AN UNKNOWN DISTANT LITTLE BROTHER YOU NEVER HAD. BE PEACEFUL...GLAD TO GET THAT OfF MY CHEST. THANKS!!
