Someone mention Dimebag?

R.I.P.

/I hear Darrel was the one doing the spoken part at the beginning. Not sure though.

Live fast, die young.

RIP

And that is life in a nutshell. As soon as you embrace it for all that it is worth, without fear, without worry, you die.

cue the D.D. worshippers, to complain that you can't make a funny headline out of his sacred death in 3..2..1....


/ok maybe not

Yeah, that's Dime at the beginning. I'd only met him a few times, but all you have to do is watch the Pantera Tour vids to realize that's him.

R.I.P. Brother Dime :(

DL Roth was busted in Central park for buying a dimebag, so turnabout is fair play

 
DavidKirkBeale 2008-01-28 07:48:01 AM  
Dime was a legend! And yes thats an extremely white trash thing to say, but the man lived and breathed white trash, and I loved him for it!

/goes to put on the end of Floods

 
zappaisfrank [TotalFark] 2008-01-28 09:08:16 AM  
Even though I cannot stand Pantera or the soundalike bands that followed, it is a shame what happened to him.

No one deserves to die at the hands of a farked up Ohioan!

Hmm...I like the headline, but I have to think there was a better VH reference for it.

Maybe: "Now he's runnin' with the devil".

Bah, that's no better...c'mon, Fark, there's got to be something.

 
Ethyl Engine 2008-01-28 10:43:50 AM  
I'm a huge Pantera fan, but just never got into Damageplan, kinda resent that their tour put him in that situation. You don't get people that can reinvent a genre everyday...

/RIP

Just before he uttered his last words, was he asked "What's the worst band in the world?"

/troll off

"Sappy" tag does not apply when a man is talking about a slain brother.

Dime's last words to his brother: "Dude, stop cutting stripes in your facial hair...it never looked cool."

 
El Freak [TotalFark] 2008-01-28 12:13:47 PM  
Would it be wrong of me to point out all the times Dimebag Darrell ranted about how he wouldn't allow security at his shows and how he wanted to cause violence on stage? Guess he did. Dude brought it on himself. Too bad the other guys in the band had to pay the price too.

idiot.

(you brought it on yourself)


If it had been some douchebag rapper like Fiddy or whatever the fark he calls himself you Dimebag worshippers would be saying the same thing, and you know it. He was in a band that glorified stupidity and violence, and he glorified stupidity and violence in his interviews. Not to mention it was a band with a frontman who went into white supremacist rants onstage, and they recorded with David Allen Coe, the wonderful guy who gave us such songs as "Attractive and Successful African-American Farker".

He was no great loss to humanity.

 
Mini Ditka 2008-01-28 12:49:59 PM  
I don't know if I can post it from here, but I have a great picture with me and Dimebag from like '91. Had an all access stage pass when they were touring on Cowboys from Hell.
We were both a lot thinner.

Didn't get to talk to him too much, but he was very cool.

Pantera was fairly decent.

I went to high school with Phil Anselmo when he was screaming into the mic at high school house parties. He was a bit of douche bag, bit will say still shows up for reunions.

I recently met a hot mother daugther pair who were turned down by Phil.

The girl had turned 18 and the mother took her to a Pantera concert, this was years ago, and the mom offered to fark him if he farked the daugther. And he turned them down. 8 years later these women are still exceptionally hot.

YET he banged this short, fat, inked up freak who looks like a combination of bridgent the midget and barbara streisand.

Rock and roll.

 
therumblefish 2008-01-28 01:02:26 PM  
Their codeword to play awesome was Van Halen. I wonder if they had a codeword to play horribly and get out of a venue as soon as possible?

"You thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Definately... it's Quiet Riot time baby!"



/I kid, I kid

Well, that doesn't sound too bad.

 
barneyfifesbullet 2008-01-28 03:33:26 PM  
They Abbotts wouldn't have been playing in a dump club if wasn't for that junkhead asshole Phil Anselmo.

What a waste.

 
unclejimbo827 [TotalFark] 2008-01-28 04:07:19 PM  
Of course he was a redneck. That's what we all loved about him (besides being a sick mofo on the guitar) - he was just a cool guy, real chill, and he didn't take it all so seriously. He knew exactly what he was, and he was proud of that. RIP.

/No, none of what I just wrote makes any sense, probably because it still makes me so mad.

I met Dime a couple of times, and he seemed like a really nice, funny guy. shiatty what happened to him.
Good guitar player, by the way. Personally, I can't stand to listen to Pantera though.

I saw Pantera 6 times and never heard the singer say a single rant about being racist... I heard him rant about people who thought he was racist and how full of shiat they were. Oh, and DAC also brought you songs like "you never even call me by my name" which I hear sung at bars all the time, very popular, not racist so I don't get your point

oh and from your profile:
Was voted "Most Likely to End Up Beaten, Tied Up, and Stuffed in the Trunk of a Car"

haha

Isn't it "live fast die young" when you off yourself from years of abuse?
