I think that musicians mourned Dimebag's passing because he was a musician, and it was a tragic way to go, not because he was super-talented at the guitar. A majority of the guys who play metal based music would step aside and give props to the real guitar talents (the likes of Hendrix, Vaughn, Page etc.). Dimebag did not suck, but he will never be talked about as one of the better guitar players. That said, RIP Dimebag. No one should go out like that.

Yes , it really sucks he got shot . I liked his playing alot . Aparently , the guy that shot him was angry because he claimed to have wrote alot of songs that Darrel played , and got no royalties ...I could be wrong .

From what I know, The Killer was pissed that Pantera broke up amd the Singer ,Phil Anselmo, blamed Dimebagfor the breakup and said he needed a beating. Anselmo neglected to mention that he himself was a junkie and a total asshole and made the band wait around for long periods of time until he felt like working.

I read exactly the same thing DVW.

I read that the guy who killed him was a former Marine who blamed Dimebag for Panter's downfall.

Yeah, I believe that is the correct scenario, as I've read interviews with people that were upfront/backstage at that show and could hear what the guy was saying. What a demented piece of shiv.

Damn, that kid took a 12 gauge Remington shotgun blast to the face. Talk about 'shoot to kill.'

Here's Phil Anselmo's take on things.

My best friend is a graphic artist and on his myspace page, he made a little flash cartoon of some psycho stick figure climbing up on stage and blowing Dimebag's brains out during the concert. Suffice to say, my friend ended up with over a hundred death threats over his little stunt.

The moral of the story is: Beware of little emo-teen Dimebag fans!
