Dimebag Darrell Slain In Club Shooting
Music: http://www.garageradio.com:8000/listen.pls In a sad day for Metal, Damageplan guitarist, Dimebag Darrell, and singer, Pat Lachman, were shot during a performance in a Columbus, OH nightclub on Wednesday, December 8, 2004. Witnesses described a gunman leaping onto the stage during Damageplan's performance and shooting at the band and audience. Dimebag Darrell was shot and killed during the band's first song of the evening. Pat Lachman was also shot and injured in the assault. Columbus police say that the gunman was then shot by an officer, however, eyewitnesses convey that the gunman, 25-year-old Nathan Gale, shot himself and was pronounced dead at the scene. Apparently Dimebag was originally shot in the face by the assailant, who then fired several more rounds into him after his body hit the stage. A bouncer who subdued the shooter was hospitalized as a result of wounds incurred during the confrontation. The death toll stands at 5, with 2 critically wounded. Dimebag is confirmed dead and others reported as dead are Mayhem (drum tech), Kat (guitar tech), and Damageplan's Tour Manager. Police are looking for a motive in the slayings. There are already several rumors circulating about disgruntled ex-band members and the possibility of a fan displeased with the break-up of Pantera, Darrell's former band. It's further contended that Phil Anselmo, Pantera's lead singer, was in the audience and the assassin may have been a frustrated devotee. Dimebag Darrell contributed much to Metal in the form of Pantera, one of the genre's most revered bands. His influence reaches over many of today's musicians and his death will affect the millions of fans he's touched.
