Yeah , I heard that on th news last night . (In the breakroom) .But I didnt know exactly who.... I dont listen to the new band . But in any case is a shame that someone should get gunned down doing something they love . the killlers reason ???? Its yet to be public . But ,I'll bet it doesnt have a thing to do with the band . This world is full of Jackasses , thats why I support the deat penalty .

sad thing is, no one will ever know.. the cops shot the gunman

rumors are running rampant all over the internet. one rumor is that the gunman said something like, "you broke up pantera", just before he shot dime. i've been checking out the damageplan and the pantera message boards all morning.

Vinnie was killed. They finally identified all the people who are dead right now, and Dime was the only band member killed. Its still unknown if others were hit at all. This sucks dude... Dime was a cool guy.

i heard some news guy on rock104 this morning say that he shot them because he was mad that two member's of pantera didn't want to be in the band. the sad thing is dimebag was the guy who DID want pantera to stay together, it was a couple of the other band member's that were not with it. I did'nt really care for panteras music but this ****'s!!! what is the world coming to?!!

they just got the final update on the radio, Vin is not dead his roadie had saved him and he is injured. He was the god of all music. Today was the day i stopped playing the Dimebag Signature Washburn guitar. Its going in a glass case and being put on my wall. Im still in shock.

PANTERA one of the best Metal bands ever.
What a sad day for fans. There are a lot of people that are mad about the break up of Pantera. But to bring it to this level is pretty insane.
I even heard that they were going to consider a possible reunion of the band but that is done now.
RIP DUDE! DB you will be missed.
