I posted this here cuz I don't want to mess with a damn logo or picture. This really hurts and pisses me off. In the metal world, Dimebag was one of the greatest guitarists there was. He got screwed out of a full life. Fuck I'm so mad.:angry:

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Concertgoers who witnessed a fatal nightclub shooting frantically called emergency operators on cell phones and tried to resuscitate the wounded, with some having to wash victims' blood from their hands, faces and clothes afterward.

Dozens of witnesses and authorities interviewed by The Columbus Dispatch for a story Sunday described a chaotic scene during and after the shootings that killed five people. Some fans rushed to the stage to help, while others ran out of the club — passing authorities on their way in.

Billy Clark climbed over a barricade and reached onto the stage to try to help slain guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott after he was shot.

The presentation of this Saturday's Headbanger's Ball on Mtv2 will have a tribute to Dimebag. If I recall correctly, he was killed on Dec 8th of last year. The show will have Pantera and Damageplan videos along with his brother Vinny speaking about things, most likely about the new label he has created. I will do all I can to watch/record that show.

Thanks for the heads up LOTD. Sounds interesting.

Belated, but cool.
