Dimebag was certainly one of the best metal guitarists of modern times.

Think anyone will remember him 300 years from now?

[Dead Dog]

That's not the point.

Think anyone will remember him 300 years from now?

Probably not. That doesn't mean he deserved to be murdered, as this article implies.

Will anyone remember Dale Earnhardt 300 years from now? Mickey Mantle? Johnny Cash?

Probably not. It's still a tradgedy to lose guys like this.

People still remember Buddy Holly and Richie Valens 50 years later. People still remember Robert Johnson 70 years later. People still remember Niccolo Paganini over 100 years later. People still remember King David as a good harpist. They were ALL considered extreme for their time or from certain jealous kings, even possible devil worshipers, and in David's case, he sent an innocent man to death in war for the man's wife, yet he was a man after God's own heart, according to the Bible.

I'm sure anyone who is a fan of the guitar will.

[MUZAQMAN]

YES!

I rather do -- remember that BAch, Mozart (in fact, more Mozart than Bach) were the rock stars of their day, writing music that pleased their audiences. You've probably heard of Buddy Holly and hummed La Bamba, never mind about various Elvis and Beatle songs. Or, what about Frank Sinatra (I did it my way) or Bing Crosby (white christmas)? Do you remember them? Well, I do, just like I remember Louis Armstrong, Yehudi Menuhin and Caruso (though I've never heard Caruso, I still know the name of one of the greatest tenors ever -- p.s. he lived inthe 19th century)

Good musicians will be remembered.
