I’ll do my best to hold in the rant about how he was murdered on stage.
You meet a lot of people running sound, I crossed DD’s path many times over the years.
My thoughts and prayers to the Abbott family…
:o 
this world (people that is) can be so fucked up sometimes…
RIP
RIP Darrell, and the 3 members of the audience who were also senselessly murdered. What a fucked up world where you can get killed performing at/attending a gig.
RIP
The shooting was absolutely the kind of thing that never should be able to happen.
I was never a big fan of Pantera or anything, but Dimebag was definitely one of the very few guitarists that were able to make the guitar talk in a totally unique, distinctive way. The song Cemetery Gates represents this unique, colourful sound to me.
At least the world was given more time to enjoy Dimebag’s talent than that of Randy Rhoads’. RIP.
