si ca se trouve, c'est cette interview qui a incité le mec a tuer dime...:(

.article de blabbermouth

"He would attack me, vocally. And just knowing that he was so much smaller than me I could kill him like a fuckin' piece of vapor, you know, he would turn into vapor — his chin would, at least, if I fuckin' smacked it. And he knows that. The world should know that. So physically, of course, he deserves to be beaten severely

What a stupid man. What a shallow, stupid man. How would he know what I do? And by the way, I've been fucking bone-sober for three and a half years now. Anybody who has seen me on stage, anybody who has seen the shape of my body and the size of my arms, and the fucking burning desire in my eyes, knows that I am fuckin'… I drink four beers and I have a buzz now. Gimme a break. I couldn't even say that in my twenties.

"But of course, that's criminal and I won't do such a thing…

putain mais je sais pas ce qui lui prend a anselmo ! je veux bien que la dope deforme , mais la.... il y a pas de mots. j'attend aussi les commentaires de rex , king ,metallica et j'en passe. en tout cas si tu as d'autre news bud ,je suis preneur

Sauf erreur, bud affirmait ca n'a rien a voir avec bush c'etait comme ca avant lui, et c'est pas pret de changer. matez ca sinon, sur le site d'anthrax e

je suis pas la pour parler politique, je c...! mais je c ke Clinton avais passé une loi pour interdire la vente d' armes et ke kand bush est passé cette loi n' etais plus.

putain moi ce qui me choque outre la mort de dimebag (qui était un putain de guitariste tous le monde est d'accord la dessus) c'est la manière,franchement moi ca me scie comment il est mort en tous cas RIP dimebag

clinton avait fait une collecte d'armes dans tout le pays : chacun etait incité a les donner, mais personne n'y etait obligé

ce n'etait donc pas une loi, mais une suggestion.
les armes, aux usa, c'est sacré et personne n'ose y toucher.

de toute facon, c'est pas le probleme : des armes, ca se trouve sans problemes, c'est pas une loi qui va y changer quoi que ce soit...

Arrêtez les "il paraît que untel a dit cela quand il a tiré sur dime" c nimporte quoi putain, on s'en branle !!!!!!!!!!!

dime' n'est plus de ce monde, et ça ne le fera pas revenir :((

c'est pas il parait , c'est il a dit et ca fait partie du drame. Rip dime quand meme

Vinnie Paul pourrait être la seconde victime... soit lui, soit le chanteur bref

il parait que ca serait plutot le chanteut, vinnie etant ok
a confirmer plus tard


voici les premières reactions :

scott ian d'anthrax :
I am devastated as I'm sure we all are. All I can convey at this moment are my condolences to Rita and Vinnie and the whole family. My heart is with you

---------------------------

dave mustaine de megadeth :
Droogies!

There is nothing unique or clever to this post, and what I want to say has no doubt already been said throughout the metal community, by countless others whom were more closer to Darrell than me by now.

However, knowing he was murdered tonight, I wish to thank and remember Darrell for his amazing life and the gift that he shared with me and so many other fortunates.

I pray for Darrell's family and friends; specifically for their healing, their peace, and their understanding of this tragedy in this time of need.

I send my deepest heartfelt condolences to the Abbott family, to Darrell's friends, and to the fantastic Pantera and Damageplan fans around the world.

We must never forget his life, and his gifts, his genius, his terrific personallity, and the legacy he left behind to remember him by.

Darrell, I will see you in heaven and I, like so many more, love you brother.

You will be missed.

Dave Mustaine

----------------------------------

Howard Jones de killswitch engage
"This is beyond anything I've ever heard. This shouldn't happen in or outside of the rock and metal community. He will be missed and mourned as a person, as a musician, and as a friend."

---------------------------------

Nikki Sixx
"Dime, I will never forget all the times you made us laugh. I'm so happy we got to spend the day together in London recently… We should all live our lives as full as you have. I will miss you, as will all of us... This is a sad day."

--------------------------------

Rich Ward (FOZZY, STUCK MOJO)
"Darrell was as nice as they come. During the times that I spent with him, I wondered why he played in such a heavy band. Not that he didn't have the ability to school all of us that dared to share a stage with him, but because he seemed like such a gentle and kind man. He had a great sense of humor and was someone that everyone in the room gravitated toward. He never carried himself like the big rock star that he really was, instead he came across humble and appreciative. I consider it a privilege to have known him, as he was one of the 'real' guys in the business and as Zakk [Wylde] would say, 'one of the boys'!"

--------------------------------

Shaun Glass (SOIL)
""Today I am saddened to say I lost my friend and hero it sickens me that someone would take away a person that brought so much joy to so many people. Love ya, Double D."

--------------------------------

Jon Dette (ex-SLAYER, TESTAMENT)
"My brother just called to tell me that Dimebag Darrell was shot and killed on stage tonight. Words cannot express the sadness I'm feeling right now and my condolences go out to Vinnie Paul and the Abbott family for their loss. This is a huge tragedy for the music world."



je posterai la suite plus tard, des que c a arrivera.


au fait, le business macabre commence

merci sick !

Et vive la NRA bien sur.....putain ça devrait pas exister ce genre d'histoire.....

Concernant le business macabre, il est annoncé sur l'annonce que l'intégralité de l'argent ira à une organisation caritative.

reaction de machine head :

Machine Head are devastated by the horrific news. Our deepest sympathy and condolences to the Abbott family, Damageplan and former members of Pantera. Our thoughts are with you all.



PS : john lennon est également mort assassiné un 8 décembre. il y a tout juste 24 ans...:rolleyes:

je viens de me rendre compte qu'il a été tué le meme jout que Lennon

Je suis vraiment triste d'apprendre un truc pareil, a la fois pour Darrel mais aussi pour les autres victimes.

N'importe quoi.....

Mon hero de la guitare a été assassiné, j'eprouve bcp de peine. J'attend la declaration de son ami Doug Pinnick de King's X dont le speach sur la chanson Believe dans le dernier live prend otut son sens.

parfois ma frase favorite ne s'applique pas...

what doesn't kill you...

C'est triste...

j'ai envie de croire que sa mort est le commencement de la fin, ou la fin d'un comencement... mais rien ne va changer... alors comme nous sommes encore en vie... elle est bien courte...

ps : le manager serait mort... les autres membres restant seraient vivants

Comme quoi avoir un nom qui commence en "Colum-" ça réussit pas trop......Columbine, Columbus.....Peter Falk a interet a bien se tenir.....

je n'ai jamais particulierment aime pantera,mais ce qui est arrive est au dessus de tout ce qui peut etre inimaginable....qu'est ce que foutais la securite,les gars qui nous fouille a l'entree?!!!!ils vous ejectent si vous avez un appareil photo ou un lecteur mp3,mais un gun putain!!c'est comme meme pas si facile a planquer merde!!j'habite aux usa,et les guns,ben ca risque pas de partir...avec cette tragedie,ca va plutot renforcer le sentiment qu'il faut des guns pour se proteger de ces dingues...ils prennent toujours le probleme par le mauvais bout...RIP Dime...j'espere que tu n'es pas mort en vain.

putain de merde ....

faut quand meme savoir que la salle avait une capacité de 200 personnes.
c'etait une boite de nuit je crois... donc ils avaient pas forcément els moyens d'avoir 10 mecs de securité

et il parait aussi qu'un gars de la sécurité a arreté le mec, sans quoi il y aurait pu avoir 5 ou 10 fois plus de victimes.

enfin voila quoi, un genie est mort.
j'ai passé ma journée a ecouter le live de pantera et quelques morceaux de damageplan.

j'espere que vinnie n'a rien, sinon ca serait la disparition du plus grand couple batteur/guitariste dans le métal...

edit :
Hommage sur le site de Pantera

Hommage sur le site de Damageplan

Sur CNN.com:le flic qui a descendu le gars dit"They are in charge of their own security inside," he said. "There are times they hire off-duty Columbus police for parking lot security -- we are prohibited by law from working inside a liquor establishment -- but last night there were none."c'est a dire qu'il n'y avait aucune securite...bravo dans le pays de la paranoia...

Le même jour des centaines d'autres personnes dans le monde sont morte de facon aussi atroces, si ce n'est plus. A bon epliloguer, donc ?

Ca fout les boules.j etais pas specialement fan de Pantera ou Damage Plan,mais voila koi,c etait un génie...ca me dégoute d apprendre une chose pareille.RIP

bon, on va resumer un peu :
nathan gale, un ancien marine, est arrivé sur la gauche de la scene avec un masque de hockey, apres 10 minutes de concert. il a été directement vers dimebag, lui a dit un truc sur le split de pantera, comme quoi ca avait ruiné sa vie, et il a tiré 5 fois sur lui.

ensuite il a pris un hotage et a tiré dans la foule, en tuant 3 personnes.

voila photo du tueur :

tim owens de judas priest :

"Hey, wanted to say that Dime was a great guy and amazing guitarist! He will really be missed! He made me laugh when he would see me backstage and sing out 'Ripper' in a high note with some melody he had made up! He and his brother always gave me respect. I knew how much of a fan he was of JUDAS PRIEST and Rob [Halford], so the respect meant a lot! And all the rumors about him and I working together where the best rumors I'd ever heard about me! I always wanted to work with Darrell and was always waiting for that phone call! Dimebag, we love ya bro and you will be missed!"

---------------------------

Phil Anselmo est DEVASTE par la news.

Comme tout le monde, je suis retourné par la nouvelle....
Je voudrais juste dire à ceux qui commencent à tailler les USA, la sécu, etc. de faire attention à ne pas dire n'importe quoi. Pour info, je suis allé 5 fois (3 concerts, 2 tournois de hand) à Bercy, salle qui a un service de sécu, et je n'ai jamais été fouillé...

putain, je rentere du bouleau, il est 21h00.Je suis dégouté, y a pas de mots pour dire ce que je ressens, je suis retourné.

commentaires de chez chimaira :

Rest in peace Dime.

From Mark:
I don't know a single person who didn't love the music Dime created. I am so thankful for the all of the music he gave us and I am truly upset about this. I immediately broke into tears when I heard the confirmation. Dime's music gave me so much to live for when I was younger and he truly changed the face of metal with his unique style of guitar playing. There isn't a metal band I know that hasn't borrowed a riff or three from him. My heart goes out to the Abbot family, their friends, all of the other victim's families, and all of the fans who had to witness this tragedy in Columbus.

From Rob:
I've had the same posters of Dimebag Darrell on my bedroom walls for over ten years. I studied and idolized his legacy as a fan, and credit him for being part of who I am today. Unfortunately now a part of me is gone, and a part of heavy music is gone-forever. Dime...you will be truly missed by us all.

From Matt:
I can't believe something like this could ever happen. Dime was one of the nicest, most personable dudes I've ever met. I consider him to be one of my idols and one of the most influential and legendary guitarist in metal. My heart goes out to his family and everyone else that lost their lives last night.

From Jim:
One of the most influential guitarists ever. I will miss him. One of the nicest guys in the business, and to say he was an idol of mine would be an understatement.

commentaires de fred dust
last night was the 911 for metal to me and the metal community. not only did pantera inspire me to have the courage to express myself they were also one of my main motivations to form limp bizkit. i am sad beyond comprehension. i mourn for the loved ones of dimebag and the others murdered. a living legend has been taken from us. life has permanantly changed for me as of last night. i believe everything happens for a reason and in no way do i understand the reason for this. i will be forever in his debt. RIP Dimebag
les boules

je me souviens qu'en 2001, fred disait que le 4eme cd de limp aurait des riffs a la pantera. et puis wes s'est cassé...


bon, rien a voir, mais voila le temoignage de zakk wylde :

The world loses a guitar hero and a great brother. Our friend, Dimebag Darrell.

We lost Dime tonight.
We have no official details, and I personally am not saying anything.

I want to thank Shawn Sexton (Sierra Nevada) from sdmfworldwide.com for calling Chad Lee and I in Chicago and bringing it to our attention, first and foremost.

Right now, I myself, and the entire Doome Crew Inc., those I've spoken to, can't even begin to try to fuckin' assmble words in sentences to tell you guys how we feel.

Give us a few days to circle the wagons. Whatever comes across officially from the family will be conveyed, as always, humbly by us.

Paix à Leurs Ames.
Darrell Forever.
Tu seras toujours avec nous.

quelques details supplémentaires sur le tireur, ainsi que sur la reaction immediate de vinnie paul :

The gunman who fatally shot four people — including DAMAGEPLAN (and former PANTERA) guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott — at Columbus, Ohio's Alrosa Villa nightclub Wednesday night alarmed the club's workers before the gig, according to RollingStone.com. "He was hanging around trying to get in," manager Rick Cantella said. "We told him . . . that he had to pay to get in like anyone else. One of my loaders told him to leave . . . He was hanging around trying to talk to the members of the band, and he was shooed away." Just before the show, Nathan Gale, 25, jumped an eight-foot fence to get inside, and headed straight for the stage. "There were guys chasing him as soon as he got in," explained Cantella, "not because [they saw] he had a gun, but because he jumped this fence and didn't pay."

During the gunfire, a local nurse in the audience, twenty-eight-year-old Mindy Reece, stepped in to aid Abbott. "The one thing that stands out in my mind was I could see Vinnie [Paul] stand up from behind the drums and look down...He had this look on his face like, 'Oh my fucking God.'" said Reece, a PANTERA fan since the age of thirteen. With the help of another audience member, she performed CPR on Abbott for several minutes until the paramedics arrived. "I kept saying, 'Dimebag, come on, come on please, stay with me,'" she recalls. "It was bad . . . There was blood on the floor



Maintenant, des reactions d'artistes :

Ozzy Osbourne
"I'm absolutely beside myself with grief. I can't for the life of me understand why someone would do this.

-----------------------------

SLIPKNOT's Corey Taylor
"He could take a riff that would take somebody a year to master and he could rip it off in seconds. He made everything look like he was playing 'Smoke on the Water' with one finger.

"He was one of the coolest people I've ever met. The guy just loved to laugh and he loved to make you laugh. And he loved to make you do something that you would never do in a million years. He was a guy that lived in the moment. His philosophy was, 'Let's do something that is gonna make us remember tonight for the rest of our lives.' And that's something I'm gonna fucking miss for the rest of mine."

------------------------------

ANTHRAX's Scott Ian
"After Eddie Van Halen, you had Dimebag Darrell. He was the next guy that came along and did something as original and important on guitar.

"He's the type of guy that would do anything for his friends. He really did put his family and his friends first, and for him everyone was his family. Once you came into contact with Dimebag and became friends with that guy, it was a sacred bond. Once you shared drinks with that guy, you became a part of his extended family."

------------------------------

Rob "Blasko" Nicholson (ex-ROB ZOMBIE/OZZY OSBOURNE)
"I'm speechless. This is totally unreal. Dimebag is a fucking legend and this is total bullshit."

------------------------------

SEPULTURA
"Dimebag was an excellent musician and a good friend, a fucking great partner in memorable tours. We'll miss him very much. Our condolences to the Abbott family."

-----------------------------

TRIVIUM's Matt Heafy
"There's nothing that hasn't already been said or felt about this recent tragedy regarding Dimebag Darrell. All I can say is that Dimebag was one of the most influential musicians in our time. Legends aren't something we can pick and choose and they aren't here in vast numbers — Dime was a man who helped inspire countless numbers of players, fans, and people in general, a legend who really made the world seem that much better. Everyone I know who has met Dime says he was really nothing short of one of the nicest people they'd ever met, that he was a humble fun-loving metal head. But now Dimebag Darrell: a son, a brother, an idol, a musician, a fellow man... has been taken from us. It's a terrifying feeling that now at concerts, our very release from the everyday world we each seek out to escape from, our heroes are being murdered. My heart goes out to the Abbott family: Dimebag Darrell Abbott was a man of legendary and heroic status, but before all that Darrell was and always will be a brother and a son; we all mourn today."

------------------------

QUIET RIOT's Frankie Banali: "This is so wrong. Darrel was one of the nicest people in music and a great guitarist. He was always great to me each time we saw each other, as was Vinnie. Such a waste and so disturbing. My thoughts and prayers are with Darrel and my sincerest sympathy to Darrel's family, loved ones and all of his fans and the fans of PANTERA and DAMAGEPLAN. No one deserves a violent death, and certainly not Darrel. God bless him."

RIP Dimebag

Voila le message que lARS a laisse sur metallica.com :

This is unbelievable. To sit here and talk about Darrell in the past tense seems so wrong, so unfair, so unjust, I don't even know what to say. My heart goes out to Vinnie, to their families, to the other band members, and to the families and friends of the other people that were killed or injured, in this fucking senseless act of selfishness and stupidity.

In 1985 I was fortunate enough to meet both Darrell and his brother in Dallas on tour. The first thing me and my friend did as soon as that tour was over, was to head straight back to Dallas and hang out with Darrell and Vinnie for a long time, cuz they were the coolest muther fuckers that we had met after criss-crossing the states for three months. That was the beginning of a friendship that was anchored in love, respect, fun, outrageousness, music, booze, sweat, late nights, early mornings, hangovers, headaches, pounding eardrums, sore bodies... the list goes on.

There's a tendency in these fucked up moments to use the word "I" a lot and focus on one's own feelings of pity and shock... so instead let it just be known that thru these eyes Darrell was incredibly warm, open, fun, nutty, forthcoming, talented, embracing, unpretentious, accommodating and he always had a very attractive innocence about him that obviously made him never threatening and always welcoming.

Darrell and his brother were the cornerstone of musical adventures that were always groundbreaking, pushing boundaries, challenging to themselves and to their fans, respected by their peers and always true musicians' musicians, and today the rock world is worse off because of this untimely and senseless waste.

Much love and respect and thanks for letting me be a small part of your life and I know you are already having fun and throwing it down with Bon Scott, Keith Moon, John Bonham, Jimi, Cliff B., and the rest of the musicians and troublemakers that you are hanging with so prematurely.

Lars"

Encore une fois, RIP Dime, puisse tu lui boter le cul de la tou es

le mec etait bourre

Tu as été l'idole de mon adolescence, je révais de te voir un jour en concert devant mes yeux. Ces reves s'envolent aujourd'hui mais ton oeuvre restera à jamais dans ma tete et dans mon coeur. Repose en paix.

commentaire de wes berland
We were playing a show in Texas a few years ago and I saw this sweaty
super long haired, big bearded, Dimebag Darrell looking guy come over
the barricade right in front of me. "Holy Crap" I thought "that is
Dimebag Darrell!!!" I had only met him once before, but I had grown up
on Pantera and was a little star struck by his presence. He was smiling
and looking up at me and jamming out to whatever song we were playing
at the moment. The security in the barricade were getting ready to shoo
him out from in front of the stage with everyone else, but I stopped
them from ushering him out and I stopped playing guitar and I shook his
hand. He hung out right in front of me for about 4 more songs. I
couldn't believe it. He was a hero to so many of us. I'm glad I got to
have that moment with him. I'll never forget it. -Wes

les hommages de lars et wes sont vraiment originaux et tres touchants.

serieux, je me fais toujours pas a l'idée qu'il soit mort...
je retourne m'ecouter damnation et war nerve !

charlie benante (anthrax) :

WHY??????

Dimebag brought the life out of everyone he met, why would anyone take his????

My phone has been ringing off the hook, everyone asking if it was true?

I didn't want to accept the reality, HOW COULD DARRELL BE GONE?

I just saw him! and just listened to the message he left me today.

I loved him, he was a true Friend. The phone calls in the middle of the night , talking about this and that. Playing KINGS X or KISS licks over the phone. I remember this one time we were both going through these anxiety attacks. I never had them, nor did he. We were talking about how we stopped them. I quit drinking alcohol and coffee and he said that he started drinking MORE ALCOHOL! HAHAHA, that was him. I had some great times with him, he always put you in a good mood, DAMMIT! What the fuck is wrong with people?? How the fuck does someone get into a club with a loaded gun, HOW?? WHY??

I thought for a minute about this - John Lennon was murdered the same way on the same DAY, some strange coincidence? (sorry, I'm delirious right now)

This guy didn't wait till after the show , he did it on stage. How fucking horrific. All those people freaking out, watching this happen. This will change things for the music world. It won't be the same vibe at shows... this is scary.

Dime was special, those who knew him would attest to that....

My heart goes out to Vinnie and Rita as well as the others who were injured.

Go play your PANTERA CDs or your Damage Plan CD.

Remember him for his music and his guitar playing, he was the best!

I love you Bro', I'll miss your face.
Give him a double.
whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

cryin' and sobbin' - CB

-------------------------------

Hank Williams III , bassiste de superjoint ritual :

"It just ain't fuckin right... Alcohol should have killed Dime, not a fuckin piece of shit worthless fuck with a gun trying to recreate the John Lennon's killing... This happened on the same day, if you didnt know... Dime will never die EVER!!! His style of guitar playing took metal to a whole new chapter in metal history.

"For those of us that were lucky enough to be around Dime as a person... or see him jam in no matter what band it was, you know he liked to have a good time... In his honor, crank up his fuckin music and get motherfuckin wasted on whiskey!!!!!!!

"And no matter what was said with all the shit talking between SUPERJOINT RITUAL and DAMAGEPLAN, that's all it was, nothing but talk!! If we had ever been in the same room together as both bands, it would have been cool… Kinda like seeing 'ole family....

"I'm sure there will be plenty of new rumors surfacing.....And fingers pointing at people to blame... But Philip [Anselmo, ex-PANTERA] and the rest of SUPERJOINT RITUAL are in a state of shock and blown away by this tragedy! We do not take this shit lightly... What this kid did is so fucked up its not even conceivable. May you burn in the hottest corners of hell, you pistol-packin' pussyfuck...

"R.I.P Dimebag. You rocked harder than you will ever know!!!!"

--------------------------------

rob zombie :

"I don't know exactly what to write concerning the death of Darrell. This is beyond shocking and horrible. I still can't believe it is true. I got the call from my manager Andy Gould, who, along with Walter O'Brien, used to manage PANTERA and WHITE ZOMBIE.

"During the early ninties WHITE ZOMBIE and PANTERA were constant touring partners and I had the pleasure of watching Darrell perform with PANTERA easily over a hundred times. For those of you who never saw him, he was without a doubt the most dynamic guitartist on the face of the planet. He was truly one of a kind. A legend.

"Off stage, he was a cool, down-to-earth guy with the most bizarre sense of humor ever, half the time I didn't even understand what the hell he was saying. He spoke a language all his own — Dimespeak.

"The last time I saw Darrell was with his brother Vinnie standing in the crowd rocking out at a METALLICA show. I never got a chance to see his new band, but I'm sure he was as amazing as always.

"No one can replace a giant talent like Darrell, he will be missed.

"My heart goes out to Phil, Rex and especially Vinnie."

-----------------------------------

le clown de slipknot :

"It's just upsetting how the world is — the need and the necessity to override the value of life," Crahan said. "From my whole (SLIPKNOT) family, I would like to tell . . . Vinnie and everyone else how sorry we are."

----------------------------------

Gary Holt (exodus) :

"I am, for the first time in my life, at a loss for words. The terrible reality of last night's tragedy is starting to sink in, and I am in a deep state of mourning over the loss of one of my personal guitar heroes, on stage and off, Dimebag Darrell.

"When my friend Walter called me with the news last night, I had to make him repreat every word when he was finished. It was just too much to believe. I had to be some sort of stupid, cruel rumor. But it was not. And so begins heavy metal's darkest day.

"I'll never forget when EXODUS, along with SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, had the honor of taking PANTERA out on their first U.S. tour. And I will never forget standing there, along with Rick Hunolt, watching Darrell play during their first soundcheck, just totally ripping GARY MOORE's 'Still Got the Blues'. Rick and I knew this cat was something special. And he reminded us of it every night. He was a wildman, able to drink people under the table and still go out there and shred, never hitting a bad note. He was the first guitarist I'd ever seen who actually frightened me, he was so fucking good! And most guys with that kind of talent wear their guitars like a bib and spend their off time indulging in role playing games, but Dimebag was a monster of the best and highest caliber. Only Zakk Wylde could compete with Dimebag in that respect.

"My deepest condolences go out to Vinnie and his family. I am so sorry for your loss, and I will not even try to pretend I have any idea what you must be going through right now. The metal world is behind you, we are all behind you.

"Dimebag, rest in peace bro, this blacktooth is for you."

---------------------------

jonathan davis de KoRn :

"Darrell and PANTERA were one of the main reasons I joined a metal band. This is a tragic loss for the music community and to all who knew him. KORN is truly shaken and we want to send our deepest condolences to the families of the deceased."

-------------------------

Abe Cunningham des deftones :

"We had the pleasure of touring three times with PANTERA. They treated us so well on the road. We had some great times hanging out with them. They treated us with open arms, especially the brothers [Dimebag and his brother, Vinnie Paul]. Darrell lived the music. We feel terrible, and our hearts go out to his family, brother and father. He was a legend in this business, and an unbelievable musician. He will be missed by all."

j'oses a peine imaginer aussi la tension qu'il va y avoir chez les groupes qui doivent faire des concerts aux states (surtout dans les groupes qui jouent dans les petites salles)

d'autres hommages (c'est assez dingue comme tout le monde reagit) :

----------------------------

disturbed :

"It is with the utmost despair that we extend our condolences to the family and many friends of one of the greatest guitar players to ever walk the face of this earth, Dimebag Darrell Abbott. Not only was he an inspiration to anyone who ever picked up a guitar, but he was one of the most genuine, big-hearted individuals you would ever have the pleasure of meeting. Dime loved to have a good time, and was never satisfied until everyone else around him was having one too. We are all still in an utter state of shock, refusing to believe that he is truly gone. Instead of focusing on the incredibly ugly demise of his death, let us remember the joy and strength he brought to all of us while he was alive.

"To Rita, Vinnie Paul, and all of those who loved him so much, we extend our most heartfelt condolences. We'll have a double black tooth in your honor brother. You will never be forgotten."

HATEBREED: "Right now, we like so many are in complete disbelief and shock at the horrific murder of our friend, hero and brother Dimebag Darrell.

"Our deepest and most sincere condolences to Rita, Vinnie and all of his bandmates, family and friends. May our love and prayers be with you in this horrible time.

"Dime was one of the most amazing, generous, talented, funny, charismatic and caring people we have ever met. Some of the greatest times of our lives were spent with him and we will never forget his zest for life and generosity. Thank you, Dime. The world will never be the same without you. Your contributions to music and to all of our lives are invaluable and will never be forgotten. We love you bro.

"Today we mourn with all of the PANTERA and DAMAGEPLAN fans around the world but tonight we are gonna play our asses off like Dime would have wanted us to!"

-------------------------------------------------

SKINLAB: "Today has got to be one of the darkest days ever. To wake up and realize the news we all recieved yesterday was real. I can hardly believe it. Dime was a huge inspiration on us all in SKINLAB not only as an awesome person, but as a guy who was always there for his fans 100%. He will be extremely missed. Our deepest condolences to all of DAMAGEPLAN and the families of everyone who has been affected by this tragedy. R.I.P., brother ... See you on the other side!"

-------------------------------------------------

OPETH: "The members of OPETH want to express their shock and sorrow in light of the recent tragic death of PANTERA / DAMAGEPLAN guitarist Dimebag Darrell. Condolences goes out to his family and especially his brother Vinne Paul who we hear is wounded but alive. We hope for a swift recovery. Things like this should not happen!"

-------------------------------------------------

Terry Butler (SIX FEET UNDER, ex-DEATH, MASSACRE): "Our deepest sympathies go out to the families of the victims in this horrific, senseless tragedy. The metal community has lost one of its most influential musicians. Dimebag's passion and energy for music was second to none."

-------------------------------------------------

Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER): "I wasn't gonna post anything because this whole tragedy isn't about me or how I feel… and I feel so helpless and insignificant at such an unbelievable time as this...

"But after sitting in front of my computer screen in disbelief for the last 24 hours since I heard about this last night I finally felt I needed to at least acknowledge how absolutely horrible I feel about this nightmare.

"Actually, I am sick to my stomach.

"Dime was an incredible talent who I've admired since the beginning when we had both just signed to Atco Records. It's been many years since I've hung with him or any of the PANTERA guys — but my memories with him and the guys were always of great fun and filled with crazy drunken insanity.

"He lived each and everyday to the fullest. In fact, I never could believe how he could even function (both on and off stage) with the way he partied and lived life.

"I feel so sorry for Vinnie and the rest of the band and family.

"Words really cannot describe the heartache I've had all day.

"This is as tragic and unbelievable as Lennon getting killed.

"But this hits home even closer because he was ONE OF US.

"I really cannot believe it..."

-------------------------------------------------

Mercedes Lander (KITTIE): "I dont know how to begin or end this.

"Someone that meant the world to me was shot to death last night... This is still not real to me... I'm still waiting to wake up from this nightmare... it doesn't even feel real...

"Dime was awesome to me in every way... He took me under his wing when I was 16 and taught me everything I know about what I do... Dime and Vinnie treated me like I was a younger sister and I saw both of them as older brothers... The truth is that they didnt have to be nice to me and treat me as well as they did but they did because they are good people. I had so many awesome nights throughout the years of just drinking and talking. Some people even started calling me the 'cowgirl from hell.' I looked up to Dime and Vinnie so much because I saw myself and my sister in them... They made me want to work even harder at my dreams and reach the level that they were at... they are the closest thing I had to heroes.

"I can't believe something like this could have happened in the metal community. I am at a loss of words to describe how I feel. I am so angry and frustrated... I don't think I will ever understand this senceless act. I can't believe this happened. It hurts so much right now. Whats even worse is that I can't even believe what Vinnie is going through.

"You are one of the most amazing people in the world... I will miss you dearly... All I can think about is all the awesome times we had together... it scares me that I won't be able to have that again. You were loved by so many people... You will be missed."

-------------------------------------------------

MINISTRY: "MINISTRY would like to like extend our deepest condolences to Darrell's friends and family and the friends and families of others who were killed or injured last night.

"Several members of MINISTRY were very close with Darrell and we are deeply saddened by the loss of this great artist."

-------------------------------------------------

Mark Morton (LAMB OF GOD): "Dime's music was a huge influence on me personally and on LAMB OF GOD as a whole. As a guitar player he was a true inovator. His sound tone and style shapped modern metal and his riffs are constantly referenced by nearly every band in metal including my own. Only recently did I have the pleasure of hanging out with him on a personal level and he was as genuine and down to earth as anyone you would ever meet. This is a huge loss to the music world."

-------------------------------------------------

Trevor Peres (OBITUARY): "I can't believe that this happened to Darrell. One could never imagine something like this happening at a metal concert. Out of all of the 'rock stars' that I know, he is the last person that deserved that. What a great guitarist and what a 'ham' he was. I am completely devastated. I am at loss of words."

-------------------------------------------------

DROWNING POOL: "No one knows why some people do the heinous things they do. What we do know is that once again, we leave tour to bury friends, brothers, and family.

"Dimebag Darrell was the epitome of rock and roll. He wasn't just a player that all guitarists aspired to be...but the genuine article and a true friend. Darrell inspired our lives and how we carried ourselves not just as musicians out on the road but also as friends in everyday life."

Dan Jacobs (ATREYU): "It's a sad day when being such a good guitar player can get you killed. Metal will never be the same."

-------------------------------------------------

Keith Buckley (EVERY TIME I DIE): " There are alot of counterfactuals involved in senseless deaths like that of Dimebag's. What if it had been one of our shows? What if there are more people than we know capable of such atrocities? What if it had been me? But these 'what-ifs' only come about after a period of reflection. The more sincere questions are the most immediate. Mine was this: 'Why did PANTERA break up in the first place?'"

-------------------------------------------------

Trevor (UNEARTH): "This is a sad day for heavy metal, rock 'n' roll and for all his family, friends and legion of fans around the world.

"Dimebag Darrell was one of the nicest and most genuine human beings all of us in UNEARTH have ever met. His presence, music and most of all his friendship will be dearly missed. Dime loved life, cared about people and was a true rock icon. Everything about him was admirable.

"Our thoughts and hearts go out to his family and friends."

-------------------------------------------------

Don Airey (DEEP PURPLE): "Deeply shocked by what has happened. I saw PANTERA play a few years ago at Wolverhampton Civic. They were brilliant, and Darrell a master of his art. Met them briefly afterwards, and they were charming humorous and low key. One memory of the evening is of a lone punter jumping on stage during the encore, then not having the courage to dive off. Most bands would have the road crew throw him out, but Darrell went up to him, patted him on the head, gave him a beer, and the guy cheerfully sat out the rest of the number on the drum riser. The man will be missed. My sympathies to the family, particularly Vinnie."

marty friedman :

"I knew Darrell from months of touring together. He was a great guitar player, actually much better than was probably necessary to play the kind of music he was playing. Although his image was a wild partying maniac, his playing always was full of class and finesse. As a fellow guitar player, KISS fanatic and basic rock dude just tryin' to make music, I'm sad and shocked by this.

"Why is it so easy for any lunatic to get his hands on a gun??

"RIP, Dime, you will be missed..."

le detail du massacre ici

Et il y a rine du cote d'Anselmo, a part le fait qu'il est devasteted?

en tout cas, j'espere vivement que les groupes vont faire un evenementiel pour saluer la emmoire de dime.
que ca soit un concert all star ou un cd tribute avec ses potes du métal, faut que ca se fasse (en plus si ca peut aider sa famille financierement...)

et puis quel pied je prendrais a entendre du pantera a la sauce hetfield ou hatebreed !

edit :
la reaction de staind (ils existent encore eux ?)

"I can't believe the news I got last night. Jon called me telling me that Dimebag was shot at a club while they were performing. I couldn't believe it then and I still can't. On behalf of myself and the band I'd like to send our deepest sympathy to Dime's family. What a loss.

"I was lucky enough to be able to hang with Dime on a few occasions and he was a man that loved life and lived it to the fullest. He was an incredible guitar player / musician / human being — a legend who will live on in the awesome music that he made.

"Pour yourself a shot of crown, add a splash of coke and raise your glass in Dime's memory. You'll be missed."
