The truth speaks for itself..
U want to express urself here... By all means, go ahead. Freedom of speech is allowed here but is it beneficial to U or will it bring hurt, grief anger and despair??
For once, I was truly hurt by some comments about Dimebag over here. I personally feels that those comments have gone way too far.
U may not feel the grief but others are experiencing it.
U may be shocked by the level of grief that we, in this thread, are feeling.
U may not give a damn about our feelings because U don't have one.
I really feel sad for those guys/girls who have think they can have everything but actually have non..
To those ppl out there who are in PAIN about Dimebag's passing way, I know how it feels.
RIP Darrell Lance Abbott...

How many lives did he bring joy to? How heavily has he influenced metal? How many kids has he inspired to pick up guitar?
And how many have YOU?
Dime was never perfect, he would never claim to be. He was all about rockin out playing the music he loves and giving his fans a good time.
Are YOU perfect? Are you fit to judge him? Heard of the proverb 'Judge not, lest ye be judged'?
Someone with as little regard for human life as you is despicable and contemptible. It's about time someone put an end to your existence on these forums.
James, do something man.

Vern's take:
Irregardless of whether "Diamond/Dimebag/Five and Dime" Darrell was a racist or not (true, he had a Dean guitar with a Confederate flag emblazoned on it) is largely irrelevant here. Wagner was a devout Nazi - does that make his 'Ride of the Valkyries' any less valid as a standalone piece of inspiring music?
Diamond Darrell was a musician. It is/was his music that mattered and touched us. Moreover, he was a guitarist. Did he ever play any 'racist' riffs that incited violence against 'niggers'? Did he ever rip out some screaming anti-'Chink/Jew/Frog/Kraut/Wog' lead guitar solo? No. He played the guitar and he played it well. What he did in his private life was up to him. If he was a KKK member, or if he imported dozens of Congolese slave eunuch children to mill flour in his cellar in Dallas using tiny hammers, I don't really care. If you start adding in the personas of the various artists in the worldwide listening roster and objecting to their musical output based on their prejucides, it won't be long until you have nothing to listen to at all. It is human nature to have bias, and none of you reading this can claim that you are without sin and ready to cast the first stone.
What I do care about is that 'Vulgar Display Of Power' or 'Cowboys From Hell' or 'Far Beyond Driven' are absolutely spectacular albums, featuring his razor-sharp riffing, killer (non-denonimational-oppressing) solos, backed up by a tight and brutal rhythm section and fronted by an awesome frontman. Dime's guitar tone set a very high benchmark for crunch that was both fat *and* scooped - few people to this day have been able to duplicate it.
This forum is for musicians. It is not a political forum. Juvenile slagging of personas is just that - juvenile; "Dave Mustaine is a wanker" (or whatever); constructive criticism - well done whoever that was - I bet you spent ages thinking of that retort. True - he has an ego problem, but despite the fact that Dave is one of Metal's greatest rhythm guitarists (BTW - he sings over those riffs that are more complex than most people's solos) did you know, that he offered one Darrell Lance Abbott a place as the lead guitarist of Megadeth at one point in history? Probably not.
Yes, I am sad today. I have found out two days after the event. I'm tired and crabby, so sue me.

I think U really have to look for a bigger bucket to cover ur whole body. If u have a sense of shame and dignity that is...
That small bucket over ur head ain't big enuff..
If u r still standing firm on ur judgement about Dime, No one can stop U. But please keep it to ur self.
Thanxx...

hey guys i got this comment from the singapore idol showdown thread----
isn't tat a pity....he thinks he is cool??????if u were in the rock band?????
wat a wild imagination u have?too much cartoon network and mtv i guess...
wont accept any job huh?
with tat kind of attitude,who want to employ u at the first place?even u don worth to stand along side beggars along the street....just ignore this person.....i tink he just need attention and friends.....poor kid
this thread has certainly gone another direction, but the fact is that a great guitarist is dead due to the most unfortunate circumstances. i think that condolences is probably more expected than critisicm. oh well...
alot of bands and people have paid tribute to Dimebag. these 3 are probably the most heartfelt i've read so far...

Yes, Lars Ulrich's tribute was really touching and it came straight from the heart. I will think of him differently from now on.

I almost fell off my chair reading about the replies following my post.
It only goes to show what really runs through all your thick skulls. I didn't diss anyone here and all of you start dissing me cos I put down my opinion about your precious hero Dimebag.
