[MOTOXXX]

[James Deuce]

I heard that on the way to work this morning.

Unfortunately its a fact of life that Metal does attract some unsavioury characters - something I've witnessed personally.

Sad to hear about Dimebag. But not unexpected in the land that desroyed the sense of personal responsibility and insists on giving its citizens the right to hide firearms on their body.

Perhaps the club could consider a long-standing policy in this country of frisking dodgy-looking people on entry to clubs.

Nah - I guess that would infringe on their personal liberties. Screw anyone else's right to live.

My only consolation is that there's a lot of metal fans in jail.

[aff-man]

Some people are just stoooooooooopid. at least he went doin something he loved :Punk: :Punk:

[James Deuce]

It'll be an obsessed Pantera fan, pissed off that Dimebag and Vinnie have a new band (IMO of course).

Well thats what was apparently heard before he was shot. Something about dime being responsible for the breakup.

Geez.

And everyone KNOWS it was Vinnie who hated Phil...

[F5 Dave]

What, being shot?

You saying he loved being shot?

[Jamezo]

What, being shot?

You saying he loved being shot?

heck, don't you? :yeah:

damn shame though...

[F5 Dave]

Can’t say I’m a fan, (or really have heard much Pantera), but it was still well shocking to hear it on the radio.

Americans & their handguns huh?

That combined with people who thing they own celebrities lives.

[Hoon]

Ohh puhlease ...you sure you're not thinking about Marilyn Manson fueled school yard killing sprees?? Or maybe rappers glorifying drive-by shootings and the 2pac incident?? Don't forget John Lennon too...nasty looking crowd that lot!!!

Or maybe society is to blame not the music??

There was a recent interview where Phil had some unsavoury things to say about Dimebag Daryl whereas Dimebag and Vinnie were blaming Phil and Rex.

Still it takes a fucked up person to go postal about it - Only in America I guess :(

[riffer]

Of course not Hoon. Do I look (or sound) like Tipper Gore to you?

I'm talking about metal concerts (and pnk ones too) have always had their audience share of malcontent arsehole idiots who just want to beat people up rather than listen to music.

Still I guess its progress that the arseholes have moved on from pool cues and knives in the 70s to guns now.

God bless America. NOT

[MOTOXXX]

mate of mine found a 6inch bread knife on the ground of a metal concert once.

scary

WOW.... just saw it... went backstage and met dimebag and rex at a pantera gig in the 90's... was a top guy... fuck.... was listening to Pantera and damageplan on the way back from waihi
:disapint:

[sedge]

You saying he loved being shot?

He loved shooting up... or used too... a lot...

But yeah. the world is full of crazy feckers... I'll kill you and then you can get Pantera back together ???? Um... OK.

hey, it worked for george bush: 'let's stop terrorism by declaring war on islam!'

'lets improve the economy by giving tax cuts to the rich!'

can't argue with the logic eh.

[jrandom]

... and, with a total body count of only four, he didn't even make the cut for SpankMe's other site.

Wonder what sort of gun he used.

Anyone else see the photo of the shooter on the news tonight? Looked like a right stereotypical pimply 19-year-old metalhead.

I blame his parents.

Yeh I met him at their hotel last time they were here. What a cool guy :(

[Blakamin]

That was Phil... and one of the reasons they broke up....
dimebag was a fan of joints and tequila

Perhaps the club could consider a long-standing policy in this country of frisking dodgy-looking people on entry to clubs.

Generally speaking, you go through searches at nightclubs in the US ... perhaps not in this case, it is up to individual nightclub owners. Certainly if you are going to a larger event (say a smallish concert venue ala Studio / St James up in AKL) you'll get frisked and probably a metal detector.

I'm guessing that this was one of those occasions where searches weren't carried out because everyone "looks like they can handle themselves" ....

:crybaby: I could not believe it when i heard about dimebag, i even sat down and shed a tear for him and his family, friends and millions of fans, in tribute i ahve been listing to Pantera and Damageplan all the time, even at work much to the dismay of the customers.

5 minutes alone............ RIP Dimebag.

Felt like that myself.
Had a few drinks then got the missus to drive my car while I cranked the stereo, wound the sub up to 11 and threw on Cowboys and FBD.

Haven't quite got it all out of my system yet.
I think tonights drive home might include a bit of Vulgar

Did the same.... cemetary gates will never be the same.... the guitar.....
cranked stereo and drank some jack for the first time in ages... went out this morning and got a hip flask of Jose Cuervo, Dimes drop of choice... will have a quiet session tonite... :weep:

[Ghost Lemur]

Well Phil has made a statement here (http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000739061) .

By the looks of things (and as you'd imagine) Dimebags death seem to have affected him to the point where he's quiting. If it turns out to be true, and not just said in the moment of grief it'd be a real shame.
