RIP Dimebag 1966-2004

Sad sad news hit me this morning when I got my regular upload of the news before work.  Damage plan was playing in a Ohio venue and a gunner attacked Dime and company killing Dime and 3 others before a officer nearby killed the shooter.  Crazy world we live in when people cant even get over a band splitting up.

 

I can only wonder how my lil brother is taking this since he actually has met dime and gone to his house down here in Dallas and dime was a major inspiration to him when he played in a heavy metal band until 2 years ago.

 

I guess the only smile that I can have from the whole situation was the streaker that popped in on Anderson Cooper on CNN while they were talking to a live reporter at the location in Ohio.  About 20 seconds of naked dude running around screaming dimebag gave me a chuckle.  I’m sure Dime was doing the same.
