Sad day...Dimebag Darrell killed

[Ace]

Re: RIP Dime

DAMAGEPLAN drummer Vinnie Paul issued the following statement:

"With all his greatness and accomplishments on the guitar, Dime will be missed more for his giving personality, charisma, caring for others, love and most of all his HEART!! Twice as big as the state of TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!! Dime gave it all every day to each and every one of us and our lives have forever been hollowed without him...Thanks to all of you for reaching out to us in this time of our immeasurable loss. REST IN PEACE BROTHER DIME!!!!!!"

The surviving members of DAMAGEPLAN issued the following joint statement:

"Jeffrey 'Mayhem' Thompson was not just a true part of the DAMAGEPLAN family, but part of the whole Dallas music scene. He was friend to all, with a great personality. He bent over backward to help us all with his trademark phrases like 'What can I do for you sir?' and 'Coming up!' He also stated his willingness to protect us, saying 'I'd take a bullet for ya,' and unfortunately did in defense of our lives. He truly lived and died for his friends and made the ultimate sacrifice, giving his life to save ours. For this we will never forget. You will be missed big man."

Re: RIP Dime

I agree ACE and that story amkes sense this guy was just a flat out Nutball. I don't really see anything that Phil said in that article that would have been a cue to kill Dime. He said in descript terms that he personally could crush Dime in a fight... Nothing that would indicate that he wanted anyone besides himself to take any action...

Re: RIP Dime

That kind of talk is just typical "rock and roll" rhetoric. Know one can even begin to understand what Phil was/is going through. Noboby pushed this fuckbag to do what he did...

Re: RIP Dime

"5 Minutes Alone" and "I'm Broken" has that great groove too.

JCF'ing: verb: To take care of someone whom you do not know personally because you share guitar tastes and are friends in an online enviroment

For Example(When recieving a free NAMM pass or hard-to-find guitar part from a complete stranger from across the country): "DUDE!! I'VE BEEN JCF'ed big time!! Thanks Ron!!"

Example: "If that muthafucka keeps asking for a trem arm for a JT580LP, I'm just gonna JCF him mine to shut him up!!"

Re: RIP Dime

Sully, check out "The Art of Shredding", last song on Cowboys From Hell. I would also suggest you crank the volume as much as possible, this song hits.

I'll shoot you the MP3 if you don't have it.
