Five years ago today...

R.I.P.

Bad day for music. RIP

December seemed to be a bad month for Music

on the bright side, it meant the end of Damageplan & no possible return of Pantera. on the darkside, it spawned Hellyeah.

Yup, that bites.

As much as I didn't care for Pantera or Damageplan and I think Dime is overrated I still think this is a tragedy.

Only mc can turn a tragedy into humor

+1

I remember sitting on the couch in the apartment me and the ex shared and using her laptop to check my emails. This news was all over the front page of msn.com. Sad.

RIP.

Time flies...

R.I.P dude

I am a Pantera fan and felt that he was a great if a somewhat overrated guitartist. I think Damageplan was a poor man's Pantera and prefered Phil's Down project.

What I admired about Pantera is during the era where metal was suppose to be dead and buried they were actually able to release commerically successful albums with little airplay. I do think that the impact of the band and their influence on bands that followed maybe overstated but I felt they were a good band and Dimebag was a better than average guitarist.

A senseless tragic event commited by some moron.

It's too bad he went out like that... I liked his music. RIP

I remember him as a skinny runt who made a pretty nice looking chick

The club scene in Texas during the early/mid 80's was a great place to play. No matter what folks think of the band or his playing, The dude made an impact on music.

He had his own style and that's more than most can say.

time has passed very fast. I can remember watching his guitar clinics online before his death. He was doing great with his Dean guitars

I'm not a Pantera fan and wasn't overly fond of Dimebag's guitar style...HOWEVER...it is still a tragedy and nobody deserves that kind of fate.
