Report on 'Dimebag' Darrell's Death Released
Band Photo: Damageplan (?)
A new 627 page police report including nearly 300 witness interviews was released last Thursday. The report details a chaotic scene at last December's Damageplan concert, with the tour manager getting wounded as he tried to prevent a gunman from climbing on stage -- he then was helped to the side where he watched former Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott get shot in the head three times. Some clarifications from initial reports are included in the following excerpts:
Christopher Paluska, Damageplan's tour manager, said he was shot first -- though it was previously believed Abbott was the initial victim.
Paluska was one of three people shot who survived. Another, stage technician John Brooks, wrestled with Gale who pinned him as a hostage as police moved toward the stage.
During the melee, Damageplan drummer Vincent Abbott hid behind amplifiers and lead singer Patrick Lachman jumped and screamed into the microphone for someone to call the police.

if you havent seen vulgar videos yet, it is a must, with live shows, filmclips and interviews from the legendary texans. watch out for the beer-throwing from vinnie, all the way from the back of the stage, all the way to the top balcony of the stadium.
LONG LIVE DIMEBAGS MEMORY!!!!!

i loved dime's tunes, and the guy was a rockin lad for sure.
but you know what's silly? every day people are getting shot, thousands of people - and nobody cares. until all of a sudden its somebody who you've heard of and you're all "guns are bad, mkay?". seriously, guys, and this goes for everyone - go throw your weapons someplace deep and watery. and i mean REAL deep and watery, none of this creek crap. i'm talking International waters, kids, no-man's land...or ocean, rather. whatever. peace.

Nathan Gale burns in hell....the f***er used to call himself "Diamond Darrell"...the f***ing irony....every time i read/hear about the death of Dime, i cringe, get angry, depressed at the same time....why do the good artists like Dimebag and Tupac get shot, and no one even tries to aim at idiots like Good Charlotte, My Chemical Romance, Blink182, and of course,Vanilla Ice? See? i have a big a$$ list of bad artists that need to be shot, and of all the ones that deserve a bullet in their heads (3-5 times!), Dimebag is the one that dies!!!!! I'm f***ing p***ed!!!!!
Anyways, Dimebag better be in better place than here....Allah better be a Metal Fan...Or at least Satan...

key to nothing - for whatever little it's worth, you just earned my respect.
and to the rest of you - squeezing a trigger doesn't make you tough. you wanna be the real king of the jungle? check out any no-rules king of the cage match. you'll wet yourself nine times. but i maintain that a real man has the courage to walk away. why waste your time with idiots like that anyway?
back to you, key to nothing - is your name by any chance derived from that Mudvayne song?

ya it is,back from the days of "the end of all things to come" when i really dug them,i've lost most interest in them since that one came out,....but i couldnt agree with you more,only a select group of people should be allowed to have guns,especially with the growing percentage of idiots in this country,...example:an idiot got a hold of a gun and now we have lost one of the greatest guys to ever grace this earth

guns are becoming very very gay. at least in the olden...olden days people fought with hand to hand weapons and hands as well. any a$$ can go up and shoot someone. holding a gun in your hand doesnt make you any more tough, it makes you that much more cowardly. anyway...when gale goes to hell...hell be assraped by hitler, gacy, charles manson, and all the other sickasses in history.
RIP Dimebag

Greatness is wasted as stupidity overcomes all. Dimedag Darell was one of metal's greatest and talented gutairist ever and boneheads like the guy who shot him are the reason we need intelligence tests in schools before we release animals like this into the world. Hell is too good for Gale, he deserves a private damnation where he's buttf***ed by Liberace every 10 seconds and forced to listen to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack over and over again in a bright p[nk room while the Villiage People cheer him on. RIP Dimebag

In my mind, that's where he is. Hail Dimebag!

gale is f***ing dead ok , just stop giving him any notoriety whatsoever by saying these stupid things about him. I understand your anger, believe me, I love dime and went to his memorial service in arlington shortly after he died, but this random trash-talking about being sodomized by the devil is just f***ing stupid, show some class as a dimebag fan and a human being, pay your respects to those who were taken away on that night of senseless violence, and remember them, not the disturbed individual who created this nightmare. Gale is dead anyway, and we'll never know why he did this unspeakable thing, what could have motivated anyone to do something so unthinkable...but justice was carried out to him immediately after he committed his crimes. It's done with. the world will note him as the monster he was and soon forget him. Dimebag taught us all something about life through the joy and enthusiasm he seemed to have every day. just pray or hope or confide in whatever you hold faith in that the families of those who died will be able to have peace in their lives again someday.

hey psythe, just for the record, guns dont kill people, people kill people, guns dont walk up to you and pull there own triggers, people pull them, and throwing away your guns in deep water, or banning gun laws wont help any because then all the people that follow the law wont have guns and be unprotected and the criminals will still have guns becuase why would they care about a gun law when they dont care about the law in general, think before you speak please.

And another thing psythe, you say get rid of your guns and throw them in deep water, why? To prove a point to the criminals that they won over us and are rights to bare arms. We have to suffer from there horrid acrions. Let me tell you something logical, if you want to ban guns so nobody gets killed, then to make it faire we have to ban cars and trucks. Millions more die a year from car accidents then from guns.

WOW!, People who listen to metal dont get laid?!, Every one who I know that listens to metal, get laid all the f---ing time, both male and females, they are all straight too. That is the most b---sh-t stereotype I've ever heard. Metal is probably the most truest of modern music today. All stupid commercial; mainstream trends are going to end soon but metal shall still remain. If one says bad things about the Dimebag, they have either never heard his music and or dont know a thing about music at all. Dimebag Darrell Abbott should be remembered as one of the greatest American musicians ever. To me he's on the level of a f---ing Mozart or one of them music makers.

wow C Might be gay im not sure because "both male and females, they are all straight too" well that makes sence they have sex with each other you poser... ohhh where im sure but they are stereo typing going on well C you need to get out more because seriously your a jerk off bastard.
rip dimebag

The only time metal heads get laid is when they f*** fat ugly chicks. Everyone I know who listens to metal is a rejected outcast that doesnt fit in anywhere else. Metal heads will accept any dork that listens to the same gay music they do.. I don't know of any hot chicks that listen to heavey metal. Good looking girls don't f*** metal heads. Heavey metal is the gayist music out there, and everyone who listens it it must be a social outcast. Even the girls used in metal vidoes are only there because there getting paid. The only people who listen to heavey metal are dorks, fags, rejects, and fat ugly chicks

Can you believe it's going to be a year very soon?! I went to the Tribute show in Chicago, and it was very sad, everyone was hugging and crying and wishing that the show never had to happen. It was also painful to listen to Disturbed do Pantera songs....lol RIP Brother Dime
