Man, my day has sucked from the second I woke up.


I was awakened by a phone call from my dad telling me my aunt had died over night. Then I couldn't fall back to sleep, so I turn on the television and what do I see? One of my favorite guitarists got smoked on stage by some fucktard in Ohio. :mad:

Just to shed a bit of light, the person that actually killed the shooter was a cop, so that explains why he had a gun in the club. Security fucked up big time though letting some whacko through with a piece.

Sad, sad, sad... Pantera was fuckin' awesome live! (Never saw Damageplan, but I'm sure they rocked too.)

Well, my day sucks... And it's not even 11:00 in the morning here yet. Guess I'll just have to wonder what's next...

Man, this just sucks......

I'm not too familiar with Dime's work but I know I would feel pretty bad if one of my favorite musicians died. Its happened before. Its almost like losing a family member because you may identify with the music so much.

R.I.P.

i remember feeling robbed when brandon lee died ...
knowing he was at the beginning of a certain breakthrough... and then gone ..

The A&E biography on him was absolutely heartbreaking. The NEXT FUCKING DAY, brandon was going to get married. I cant imagine how that had to have felt for his fiance.

Not to mention his mother who lost her husband and son way to early.

its weird how you can feel such a sense of loss when you like one of these public figures that you've never met.

it's more than just the knowledge that their creative output is at an end .. its more personal than that ...

I suprised myself at how it effected me.

I always loved Pantera, never heard of Damage Plan though. I heard the news last night, very sad. :(

Apparantly it was a crazed Pantera fan. Which is kind of spooky because it was on the same day Lennon was shot and killed by a crazed fan...

I don't give anyone reason to. Too many people want respect, but don't give any themselves. It's a sad reality, but I always show as much respect to some homeless guy as I would the Pope. It's called common courtesy. Apparently the 'golden rule' has been forgotten by a lot of the younger generation. Anyhooo...just read about it on the news. Bad situation. It makes you wonder about security at the venues you go to for shows. Worst part of this tragedy will be the lawyers who profit off of it when the lawsuits roll around.
I just read:
Yeah. What an 'X-Files' concept there :rolleyes:
CK

never realy knew much about the guy untill now... not into metal....but R.I.P all the same.

but it's clear as day, that the security in some of these venues is shite. Dont they search or have detectors to stop loonies taking guns into places like this??? The nutter obviously had an intention to maim or kill the guy and take down others aswell. I would have thought, when letting the guy in he'd have looked a bit suspicious, trying to conceal a gun.....unless this loonie was good at acting 'normal' infront of the public, just waiting to carry out his business.

It must have been a fairly small venue....Security at small clubs is lax....But I have been to numerous concerts where I've had to turn my pockets inside out, get a pat-down and run over with the wand but they were usually big shows......A couple times a buddy of mine had to walk clear back across the parking lot because he forgot he had a small (2") swiss army knife on his keyring.......I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of this treatment at future concerts....
