REST IN PEACE DIMEBAG DARREL

GREAT GUITARIST, WE'LL MISS HIM

[eleni121]

Sorry for the loss of the heavy metalista but is this news in the right category?

Dimebag was another of those artists whom, like Kurt Cobaine, I never heard of till his passing.

What is the appeal of heavy metal? What made Dimebag any different? He does seem to have had a following, even, if your post is serious, among conservatives.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Well, totally ignoring the music he created, he was a conservative, and despite that he supported GWB anyway ;0)

[TheSpottedOwl]

We sure will miss him. My 17 yr old son told me a couple of days ago, that he still couldn't believe he was dead.

LOL I feel as if I'm in an alternate universe and will now tottle on to a thread which I understand ;)

I am fully persuaded that he is burning in hell.

He was a staunch Bush supporter, so you may be wrong.

"He was a staunch Bush supporter, so you may be wrong."

???

Such a scriptural defense of Mr. Dimebag!

Oi Vey.

[sc2_ct]

I am fully persuaded that he is burning in hell.

Having met him and talked with him, he was a genuinely kind person. As far as that goes, try to remember that line "Judge not, lest you be judged yourself."

Either way, I pray that God is as merciful with him as he will be with the rest of us sinners.

What I meant was that it "seemed" as though you had written him off as a typical left-wing, drug infested dirtbag. When in fact he was a right-wing guy who enjoyed a type of music that you may or may not.

Just because he lived the lifestyle of a heavy metal musician (and maybe some drugs, for all I know), that doesn't condemn him to hell.

[Rebelbase]

"that doesn't condemn him to hell."

No, but ignorant people feel better about themselves when they condemn others who fit their stereotype of evil.

Dimebag is going where we all will soon go someday, Dimebag was a Great Man, Just because he Rocks out doesnt mean he does Drugs, even though the name "Dimebag" is a simble of a bag of Weed, but from what i heard nobody ever saw him do any drugs, but even if he did doesn't make him a bad person, Advil is a Drug, also He Touched many Lives, thats more then any drug he ever smoked, what pisses me off is people Talk Nagatively about Dimebag and knows shit about him.

Haha...You're an idiot.
