This is simply the most stupid thing, I have ever heard

From "www.therockradio.com"

meh, Anselmo is everyones favorite scapegoat. if he hadn't quit Pantera, the US would never have invaded Iraq.

Sounds like she is just angry and grasping at straws.

The blame can only be laid on one man, the man that pulled the trigger.

We all need to get over Dime'd death. I remember that day when i heard the news i felt sick in the stomach knowing that some sick psycho out there decided to take not just a great metal icon but a wonderful person who cared about everyone around him...

There has been a lot of stories out about his death and it seems they are getting worse and worse everytime. We all have mourned this tragedy and we will all remember Dime. Lets look back at the great person he was and the awesome music he made, not how or why he died.

RIP DIME

He's gone.

Next.

yup. i watched the 'behind the music' pantera thing and its ridiculous. they blame everything on him and make him out to be some kind of villian you'd find in a film. fair enuff i don't like him either, but it aint his fault

I understand that Dime's girlfriend is still grieving, but that doesn't take away from the fact that she's also a doofus.

Blaming Phil Anselmo for what happened to Dime is ludicrous.

I just think it is VERY immature and downright dumb to say that if Phil never quit Pantera, Dime would not have died. It's like blaming Osama Bin Laden's parents for terrorism. It's rediculous

Unfortunatly, it is easier to blame the living than the dead. Still doesn't excuse her actions though.

I agree 100%, but if she wants to be ignorant, that's her problem.

I think Obama said that in a speech a few weeks back

Did You Know?: If Anselmo hadn't quit Pantera, William Hung would have never had his 15 Minutes of Fame.

Sorry guys, it was my fault. I didn't go to the concert.

she looks worse and worse as time moves on.

I don't think Phil is to blame, but he was definitely reckless in his comments. Did it cause that dude to kill Dime? Probably not. Did it play into the dude's craziness? Probably.

Did she ever think maybe it was her fault for letting Dime start another band and think it would be better than Pantera was? Shes a moron. The guy died in a very tragic way by some psycho. Does she think Phil had direct contact with this guy and convinced him to go to the show to do what he did? Just another idiot that wants her 15 minutes of fame through someone else.

She's not the only one that thinks this. A lot of people close to the family blame Phil. Phil did say it was Dime and Vinnie's fault Pantera was no more, and that was the crazy dude's motivation for the killing. He tried to kill Vinnie, too, if you'll remember. Phil also made comments (I forget the exact wording) to the effect of "Dime needs to have violent things done to him."

So is it unbelievable that a grieving family would place blame on Phil? Not really. I disagree with it, of course, but I think it's human nature to want to blame someone, something. And while I don't think Phil's comments and action forced the killer's hand, I do think his comments and actions made it easier.

he said Dime "needs a severe beating."

Yea I know. Its such a stupid thing to think though. People say things all the time in the heat of the moment. Look at dio a couple months back said some crap about vivian campbell while he was signing autographs. So if someone went to a Def Leppard concert and took out vivian it would have been dio's fault? Dio didnt say anything about doing harm to him but still he seemed bitter.

No, but someone would probably blame it on Dio at some point.

Very interesting Eyesore, I didnt know much about the situation.

Looking for people to blame doesn't solve anything in a situation like this. There was one person to blame and he is dead.

Too true. I hope someday these two sides can forgive and move on. Maybe even work together again.
