Congratulations on the dumbest post of the night.
And you had to defeat churchillbluff to win that honor, which is no small feat.
Yeah, metal lyrics may be dark, evil and violent at times, but the entire cRap culture is violent and evil. It may turn out that there was some sinister cause to this shooting, but at first glance, it looks like this was done by some (probably) drugged up assclown who snapped.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Here is a post from the message board at http://www.damageplan.com from someone claiming to be a the show tonight. The person just signed up at that message board tonight.

holy crap, i was at the show!!!!
all i can say is holy crap!! that was such a freakin' nightmare... i don't ever want to be a part of anything like that again... i'm still shaking.... i don't even know what to say...
i was up close to the stage on the side where DBD was playing.... then i saw the guy jump out of the crwod onto the stage... he was yelling something about how "you broke up pantera.... you ruined my life.... what about phil??? he needs heroin money..." or something like that then i saw the gun and he shot DBD right in the head... when DBD went down he kept shooting... then he turned around for bobzilla then vinnie... teh hole time i thought it was part of the show... i had blood on me i was so close... i'm still freakin' out here...
after he turned around and kept shooting i was gone... i swear i almost crapped my pants... it was ####' crazy as ####... people were totally messed up outside... i was standing next to this one chick and she was crying and couldn't stop... she fell on the ground and it was like she was possesed or something... dude it was so kayotic its not even funny... the cops showed up and then people started sayin' that DBD was killed... then people started freaking out even more...
i can't belive this happend... its so crazy... its totally unreal and there's no way to describe how messed up i am right now...
i had tickets to the show in flint michigan too... i don't know whats going to happen... theres some blood on my ticket stub so i'm going to sell it on ebay or keep it or something... i know DBD is in heaven (or ripping some mad riffs in hell)
#### what a wild #### nigth... dude i won't even be able to sleep tonight

i'm not going to sell my ticket stub i'm just going to burn it i just want to get all this #### out of my head... i'm going to smoke a full bowl tonight... ####
I REPORT, YOU DECIDE.
Weird! Why would someone choose a stage to commit murder? If he had something against the guitarist, why not do it outside in parking lot where he has better chance of escaping? Just doesn't make sense...it never does. Sad.
Thank God for cops who can shoot straight!
I agree. The stuff like that in rap is like "musical" gang wars. This is going to be a nut, not a rivalry.
Quite an account.
I am struck by the number of other witnesses, not just this guy, who "thought it was part of the show". I've been to a lot of rock shows, and never seen skits like this as part of the show... and yet people really tend to deny the gravity of critical situations. It's a really counterproductive trait we have.
It was like the Great White fire, originally many thought the fire was a part of the act.
Exactly like that!
Why? What good did that law do? That didn't stop it because the gun didn't kill those people, that man killed them. It sounds like someone came in there with the intent of killing them. Maybe it will turn out to be a drug deal or something else that has nothing to do with the night club.
I read it was some psycho fan that blamed Dime for the breakup of Pantera. Guess the fact that Vinnie and Dime split Pantera because Phil is a useless heroin addict mattered little to this guy.
Any word on who the 2nd band member is?
sample post on a guitar forum i am on (from a canadian):
proud to be canadian and not having a gun dude.. maybe one day.. someone will take your gun from you and shoot someone.. we don't need gun ...keep voting for bush USA is sick man! the whole world is..
when i wrote that i did forget that in usa you where alowed to have gun.. completely sick country..brainwash mentality..proud of that.. but that is a good way to keep the paranoia , fear alive.. i only carrie my 2 hand with me that's enought
I seem to remember that Marilyn Manson did a stage "killing" where a roadie came up on stage and "shot" at him as part of the show. This was several years ago and I don't think he did it long after that.
Ping!
Not yet. Probably not until morning.
Radio called it a revenge killing. If not inside it would have happened outside as the band loaded out.
Can we get a prayer bump for this tragedy (five dead in a homicide)?
And I for one am thankful for that! That person is horrifying to me.
