Band Photo: Damageplan (?)
Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine has issued the following statement regarding the death of Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell:
"There is nothing unique or clever to this post, and what I want to say has no doubt already been said throughout the metal community, by countless others whom were more closer to Darrell than me by now.
"However, knowing he was murdered tonight, I wish to thank and remember Darrell for his amazing life and the gift that he shared with me and so many other fortunates.
"I pray for Darrell's family and friends; specifically for their healing, their peace, and their understanding of this tragedy in this time of need.
"I send my deepest heartfelt condolences to the Abbott family, to Darrell's friends, and to the fantastic Pantera and Damageplan fans around the world.
"We must never forget his life, and his gifts, his genius, his terrific personallity, and the legacy he left behind to remember him by.
"Darrell, I will see you in heaven and I, like so many more, love you brother.
"You will be missed."

THE BAND IS COMPLETE!!!
It’s unfortunately that Dimebag had to be taken away from us in such a manner and so soon, but apparently some guys in heaven were getting too damn impatient. They needed another guitar player for the badass band they were forming. They had no use for strummers like Kurt Cobain, Johnny Cash, George Harrison, Sid Vicious, Jim Morrison, et al. (no offense to these guys, but they just don’t have the goods to fit into this band). Now they are ready.
The band is called “Heaven’s Heavy Metal Horndogs” and it consists of John Bonham on drums, Phil Lynott on bass (former Thin Lizzy), John Lennon on vocals, ummm, oops, that was a mistake. I meant to say David Byron on vocals (he’s the former singer from Uriah Heep and kicked ass) and finally, our own Dimebag Darrel on gui-eeeeee-tar!!
If anything, I will now become a very nice, well-mannered individual and won’t even f***in’ curse anymore (that was the last time). Why? Because I really need to get into heaven so I can get down and dirty with these guys. They are gonna kick some major ass.
In the meantime, we will have to make due with playing all your great albums you made down here with us metal heads. It will never get old, although I’m sad that we’ll never get to hear any follow-up music from Damage Plan.
R.I.P Darrel and our thoughts and prayers go out to your family, especially Vinnie, who had to witness your quick exit from this life. Down the road, when John Bonham decides he’s had enough, you’ll be taking his place and you will be able to jam with your brother forever.

Sorry Tommy but I simply have to disagree. Although your line-up pays proper tribute to musical legends that have fallen, I just dont see Dimebag shredding with those guys. Well, except maybe John Bonham.
More likely, the line-up goes like this.....
Thunder rumbles aross the sky as John Bonham brings down the hammer of the gods. Then the hypnotic riffs of Randy Rhoads echo through the heavens. And from farther corners of forever comes Cliff Burton laying down a bass line that Dimebag can follow to the hearafter.
NOW my friends, the band is complete!

Ahhh f*** that..... It's Layne Staley with the hypnotic ghost screams from Alice in Chains, Dimebag with his insane rhythmic shredding, Cliff Burton with his earth-shattering, bellowing bass lines, and John Bonham (an explanation for him would be just too long).

"why dont u make guns illegal mr bush?! then maybe these tragedies would at least be less frequent!"
Don't you get it??? Ohio has CCW. An honest/law abiding licensed person would not walk in a bar with a gun. Only criminals like that MF would break the law like he did. When you outlaw weapons, only outlaws will have them.

Wow....Just reading through all u guys and girls comments is quite amazing, it is a testament to the power of music and the love we all shared of Darrells music and attitude. It`s weird because I lovd listening to Pantera and was blown away when I first heard them but havnt listened to Damageplan or any of the news regarding what they where up too of late.....then I heard the radio and the news that Dimebag was dead...I was gutted..I never thought I would be affected so much. I loved his style and bluesy aggressive metal grinds....will remember him as long as I play music......................We loved u Dime even though some of us never met u............

just dig a little deeper folks and you'll see, Mustaine is capable of being compassionate about things.
