SHATTERED

The Death of Dimebag Darrell

by Bobby Black

Last winter, one of the cowboys from hell climbed the stairway to heaven. The sudden, senseless murder of metal guitar idol Dimebag Darrell has left the family, friends and fans of this fallen hero, and the world of rock'n'roll...
Shattered

It was a cold Wednesday night in December, and hundreds of fans huddled into the Alrosa Villa club in Columbus, OH, eager to check out Damageplan, a new band featuring former Pantera members Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul. But just as the lights dimmed, the amps buzzed to life, and Dimebag strummed the opening song’s first chords, the crowd’s familiar roar of excitement suddenly morphed into screams of fear and disbelief when a man with a handgun ran onto the stage and began firing at the unsuspecting guitarist.

“You broke up Pantera! You ruined my life!” gunman Nathan Gale reportedly yelled as he charged onstage. Known to many as “Crazy Nate,” Gale was a 6-foot-3, 25-year-old ex-Marine who was given an early medical discharge and sent home in November of 2003 after being trained in combat and diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. He was prescribed medication for the illness, but it’s unclear whether he was taking it at the time of the attack. According to his mother and friends, Gale had been obsessed with Pantera since high school, blasting them on his headphones before football games. More recently, he had begun insisting that the band had not only stolen lyrics from him, but were trying to steal his identity. Eventually, even close friends distanced themselves from Gale after he began exhibiting odd behavior such as talking and laughing to himself.

Gale shot Darrell five times at point-blank range, the last time directly into his head. Dimebag was dead before hitting the floor atop his trademark Washburn guitar, which continued to emit a loud, ominous drone. Gale then quickly changed clips and fired on club security guard Erin “Stoney” Halk and Damageplan’s head of security, Jeff “Mayhem” Thompson, as they converged on him from opposite ends of the stage, killing both. Damageplan tour manager Chris Paluska and drum tech John “Kat” Brooks were shot next (though not fatally) while trying to subdue Gale, as was audience member Nathan Bray, who was killed after leaping onstage to help Dimebag. Meanwhile, several police officers had entered the club and assumed defensive positions around the stage.

Gale took an unidentified hostage in a headlock, ready to play it out to the bitter end, but was shot by a cop from behind with a shotgun, killing him instantly.

Born Darrell Lance Abbott in Dallas, TX, in 1966, Dimebag was the son of a well-known country & western songwriter named Jerry Abbott, and grew up around music and recording. He and his brother Vincent Paul Abbott (who later changed his name to Vinnie Paul) formed Pantera with bassist “Rocker” Rex Smith and vocalist Terry Glaze in 1982. Influenced heavily by KISS, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and Motley Crue, Pantera recorded three albums before recruiting vocalist Phil Anselmo in 1989 and intensifying their sound. It was this lineup that put Pantera on the metal map with 1990’s Cowboys From Hell.

Why didn't anybody have a gun to stop the asshole shooter in the club? OHIO GUN CONTROL thats why. Better to have a woman raped and innocents murdered in a club than it is for them to have a firearm and stop the violence? YES according to Ohio and you anti gun piss ant motherfuckers.

Oh and by the way, Randy has always been one of my 5 favorite guitarrists but that doesn't deny the truth about heaven & hell, Randy is possibly also down there. He reached damnation because he was tricked by the dev himself , and for hanging out with satanic people and playing with witchcraft such as that of A.Crowley, too bad people don't want to listen

Dime, r.i.p, only if he knew how many times ive listend to floods when things are shitty to just bring a smile to my face. His music will always bring a smile and no matter how hard that gale guy could of tried "It will never change, because revolution was Dime's name". Gale will only be remembered as a waste of sperm, and Dime will NEVER be forgotten.

Just hanging at home in FT. Lauderdale--my brother calls from Jersey--Yeah right I said. Minutes later the news ran across the bottom of my T.V.. All the ASS-KICK'N Rage PANTERA let us get out of our systems over the years, Could not amount to the anger that came over me. What a shitty way to die, what a FUKN Waist of one of the last true metal bad Mother Fuckers. PANTERA never needed Radio or MTV support nor did they want it. It's sad they had to hit prime -time just so these sorry Networks could sell a story. CFH 4 Ever.... celticwar@bellsouth.net

It's still painful to accept. Dime loved everyone and he never turned anyone away. Why anyone would want to hurt him is beyond sane comprehension. But he lives now, in each of us. He lives forever, as long as we never forget him or what he left for us. I love you and miss you, Brother Dime.
Rest In Eternal Peace.

Mar 8 2005, 7:11 pm

Get it right, fuckers at high times.. when dime was killed, he was playin his signature DEAN guitar, not washburn. Dime originally played dean until after CFH. Then, he got contracted with washburn/randal amps, but hasn't been supported by washburn for a good year before he got killed. You owe it to the man to check your facts before posting anything. Dime was/is/and always will be the god of metal guitar. R.I.P Brother, we all miss you very much.

I had my 3 footer Glass sculpture fully loaded with Chronic with a circle of people preparing to enter heaven & speak with him & the others in complete fear. We had candles lit circling the sea of Glass - packed and ready 2 smoke in the dark room.

KBPI lit tha speakers & SUBS a Perfect Circle came on! Within seconds the Glory of the Lord filled the Room as well as the City and the people of the City.

The lord began 2 speak thru them and we heard his voice speak to us from the cloud and fire. They prophesied and it all happened. We all barewitness to the Power of the Fearsome God. We Come to him with Fear and bow before him in sackcloth and ashes & Dirt on our heads. He is holy and the glory of all creation him who works miracles through us.

We fear his power and he loves us with all forgiveness born on his son.

Do you realize what 40 years in the Desert eating Psychedelic Mushrooms is Like? Any concept?

What was it like for people to leave a empire they were slave to and wander around a sand pit tripping & wearing the same clothes?

Want to see?

------------------------------------->> YOU WILL OR YOU WILL DIE

- YOU WILL EAT MUSHROOMS (MANNA) REV 2:17 AND THE TREE OF LIFE (MARIJUANA) - REV 2:7. YOU WILL FOLLOW ME AS YOUR KING. THIS WILL HAPPEN VERY SOON.

OR YOU WILL DIE WITH THE SOCIETY. AS THE EGYPTIANS.

SEEK ME. SEEK GOD. SEEK THE TRUTH.

DEATH IS COMMING.

PREPARE TO WALK TO HILLS OR DIE.

Prehistoric Psychedelic Mushrooms
The oldest representations of hallucinogenic mushrooms in the world are in The Sahara Desert. They were produced 7000-9000 years ago. The idea that the use of hallucinogens should be a source of inspiration for some forms of prehistoric rock art is not a new one. After a brief examination of instances of such art, this article intends to focus its attention on a group of rock paintings in the Sahara Desert, the works of pre-Neolithic Early Gatherers, in which mushrooms effigies are represented repeatedly. The polychromic scenes of harvest, adoration and the offering of mushrooms, and large masked gods covered with mushrooms, not to mention other significant details, lead us to suppose we are dealing with an ancient hallucinogenic mushroom cult. What is remarkable about these ethno mycological works, produced 7,000 - 9,000 years ago, is that they could indeed reflect the most ancient human culture as yet documented in which the ritual use of hallucinogenic mushrooms is explicitly represented. As the Fathers of modern ethno-mycology (and in particular R. Gordon Wasson) imagined, this Saharian testimony shows that the use of hallucinogens goes back to the Paleolithic Period and that their use always takes place within contexts and rituals of a mystic-religious nature.

Rest in Peace Dimebag.....We Miss You.That crazy,schizophrenic mother fucker got what he deserved.I wish they could've tied him to a stake and let everyone who is a fan of Pantera and Damageplan get a shot at his punk ass.....that guy had no heart....I mean Dimebag Darrell was a fucking guitar genius and now we will never hear the awesome sound of D.D. playing his Washburn like he knew how to do so well........I hope Dimebag is kicking the shit out of that guy in the afterlife.

Darrell Abbott will always be a part of my playing style as well as always in my heart. I'm heart goes out to his enitre family, all his friends and everyone who this has affected. Words can't describe how terrible this was but, memories can...see you on the other side darrell...

how fucked up has everything gotten if you have to have a metal detector fucking everywhere?!?!

I live in Sweden (thus the dots in my name) and I've never in my entire life, except in airports gone thru a metal detector! There is just no point 'cos nobody here have firearms, sure some people do but they are heavily regulated. I don't wanna come of as a anti-gun nut (well, I am) but if we changed the legality of guns with grass, wouldn't life be grand?

the art of martial arts is all surounded by the spherical beachball theory. acheiving balance of the hands creates balence of the body and so on. to ultamitly get your body to spin and to kick your leg high enough to reach face highth. you know you need something to calm you down. sugesting sagging and baggy shirts isnt enough these days especially for these hardcore specialsts of the arts. mostlikely the introduction to marijuana to a sociaty such wild individuals such as Dime Bag's. If were able to start moving in on known hibitual schitzofrentic tendencies whats that say for our people. Is our country in as much disorder as iraq? what happens when everyones so uptight about dress code? Little things are being done where and when.

Gale didn't sneek in the back door of the Arosa ....What he did was climb an eight foot privacy fence at the front door ..The fence also surrounds the patio ...which is accessible from the inside ...from the patio , he just walked in and worked his way to the stage ...security did try to get to him ...but they wasn't quick enough to catch him from the patio door ..

That is just fucked up, first how the hell does a paranoid schizophrenic get his hands on a handgun and second how does he get it through security at a club?
Because of someone's stupidity we lost a metal legend. He's up there right now jammin and toking up with hendrix.

Gale snuck in through the back door where the bands load their equipment, so he didnt pass through any security check. As for him getting a gun, you can thank the U.S. Marines for that one.
