It says on FOX news that there have been two Damageplan members killed in the incident. They didn't mention who the other one was.

I think (hope?) it was only Dime. All the reports i've seen say 5 killed and from what I can gather it's the following :

Dime
Nathan Bray - Audience member
Erin Halk - Audience member
Nathan Gale - The shooter
?? - The band's head of security who tried to get him off Dime.

That's 5 too many, let's hope there's no more.

I'll be raising a glass to him tonight for sure.

all i can say is holy crap!! that was such a freakin' nightmare... i don't ever want to be a part of anything like that again... i'm still shaking.... i don't even know what to say...

i was up close to the stage on the side where DBD was playing.... then i saw the guy jump out of the crwod onto the stage... he was yelling something about how "you broke up pantera.... you ruined my life.... what about phil??? he needs heroin money..." or something like that then i saw the gun and he shot DBD right in the head... when DBD went down he kept shooting... then he turned around for bobzilla then vinnie... teh hole time i thought it was part of the show... i had blood on me i was so close... i'm still freakin' out here...

after he turned around and kept shooting i was gone... i swear i almost crapped my pants... it was ####' crazy as ####... people were totally messed up outside... i was standing next to this one chick and she was crying and couldn't stop... she fell on the ground and it was like she was possesed or something... dude it was so kayotic its not even funny... the cops showed up and then people started sayin' that DBD was killed... then people started freaking out even more...

i can't belive this happend... its so crazy... its totally unreal and there's no way to describe how messed up i am right now...

i had tickets to the show in flint michigan too... i don't know whats going to happen... theres some blood on my ticket stub so i'm going to sell it on ebay or keep it or something... i know DBD is in heaven (or ripping some mad riffs in hell

I saw that quote too and all I could zone in was :

...theres some blood on my ticket stub so i'm going to sell it on ebay or keep it or something...

I mean, wtf?

There's another audience report on this website.

It seems Bobzilla and Vinnie Paul are okay but Patrick may have got shot in the leg.

This sucks.

Reading those accounts from eye-witnesses are very fúcking distressing. Don't read them if you're already upset or likely to become so.

We've lost one of the greatest shredders in metal. I hope, wherever he is, he's still blasting out some intense riff. I have to worry about the effect that's going to have on musicians, even over here. Things are going to change. Indeed, with this shooting, things have changed. And you can be damn sure it's not for the better. I toast the genius that was Dimebag Darrell and wish him the best, whatever's ahead for him.

People, I recommend you should listen to "Floods". It's brought me to tears in the last few minutes. The man was a pure genious, plain and simple.

Exactly what I did the moment I heard, followed by all my Pantera. I'm just chilled by it all, purely shocking.
RIP not only for Dimebag but for the others.

A black day for metal fans everywhere.

Man this is too much to take, some of those eye witness reports are just horrible. The people who witnessed this will never be the same. My sincerest condolences go out to the all of the families of those who were killed, Vinnie Paul for one - I can't even begin to imagine the pain that poor guy is feeling

Crazy crazy shít

I have to join newband and say that Cemetary Gates is playing as a final tribute on my behalf as well - and yes, it is THAT solo which will define Dimebag forever.

I've been reading up on this all day, chasing news, websites and going back and forth to this thread - it's just beyond comprehension.

All i can say, in very brief retrospect of this very long day, is:

Dime, my brother, may you feast and shred in Valhalla until eternity ends.

I can't ****ing believe this. I was in dublin, in Music Maker and at the till was a picture of Dimebag that I showed my dad to show him who Dimebag was because I was looking at the Dimebag Washburn's and It said his date of death and I didn't understand it... until I got home.
