Mourning the loss of a guitar hero today

and I am just sick to my stomach and heartbroken. Pantera was the first metal show I attended way back in the day and Dimebag was a huge influence on me in the early days. I even had a lifesize cardboard cutout of him and his Washburn in my room. In the dark the thing would really freak you out. I've been following his career for ten years now. I've read/seen countless articles on him and he always came across as a nice, down-to-earth, genuine guy. I own two issues of the '96 Guitar World when he was on the cover. From the news it seems as if he was targeted, but the stories seem pretty sketchy. Vinnie Paul may have been shot as well. Isn't the world just awesome? yay.
I"ll miss you, Dime

R.I.P.

Dimebag was a douchebag! He's got nothing on Dustin Trump. One time, I watched him play cemetary gates, BETTER than dimebag darrel with his teeth. That was so hardcore. And zach was singing lead vocal, and danny played the saxophone.

95% of the people I know are douschbags. I suppose they should be gunned down for breaking up a 90's thrash band as well? If anyone should be shot for dismantling a perfectly good band it should be Jon Bonham....oh...wait....
