Dime, you help inspire me, your art will always serve a place in my cd player, forever.

R.I.P. to the guitarist with the most energy-inspiring riffs in the world. You will be missed. :sadwavey:

One of my best friends started playing guitar because of Dimebag. I'm sure this will hit him pretty hard. :frown:

it's hit the entire metal scene hard. MetalSudge.com have a huge section of it, including quotes from some metal heavyweights.

I don't know about you guys, but I feel bad for Vinnie, he watched his brother die.

Heard the news at schooltoday, that really really sucks.

I loved pantera and kinda liked damageplan and i cant think of any metal band that has had a better guitarist ever.

Ahh. I heard it in a local pizza place on the tv and thought to myself... Dimebag? Dead? no...hes freakin immortal. Then i just found it online...its a shame. But I bet money that Dimebag whoops the guys ass all over hell.

And beyond just him, i hope Zakk Wylde makes it through this okay. Hes one of my huge influences and Zakk and Dime were like best friends. My thoughts are out for ya man...

The best way to become immortal, is to die when the eyes of the world are apon you.

i posted something like this in COT...dimebag is the fucking man and i'm fucked up in honor of him right now...airguitared to a fucking shitload of pantera tonite and i'm fucking loving every second of it...RIP dimebag...you're the fucking man

It's too bad you found your Cemetery Gates this soon Darrell. My heart goes out to Vinnie, the family, the friends, the fans....you were taken from us too soon. Among the aftermath of this deep wound to the metal scene and music as a whole, there remains one light shining in the darkness. Darrell, you died doing what you loved to do. Rest in Peace Dimebag. You are lost, but never will be forgotten. I hold the horns in your memory.

Amen.
