Reverend reverend is this some conspiracy?
Crucified for no sins,
An image beneath me.
Whats within our plans for life?
It all seems so unreal,
I’m a man cut in half in this world,
Left in my misery…
The reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes
It’s nothing new for him to see
I didn’t ask him why
I will remember
The love our souls had
Sworn to make
Now I watch the falling rain
All my mind can see
Now is your (face)
Well I guess
You took my youth
I gave it all away
Like the birth of a
New-found joy
This love would end in rage
And when she died
I couldn’t cry
The pride within my soul
You left me incomplete
Memories now unfold.
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetery gates
Sometimes when I’m alone
I wonder aloud
If you’re watching over me
Some place far abound
I must reverse my life
I can’t live in the past
Then set my soul free
Belong to me at last
Through all those
Complex years
I thought I was alone
I didn’t care to look around
And make this world my own
And when she died
I should’ve cried and spared myself some pain…
Left me incomplete
All alone as the memories still remain
The way we were
The chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the cemetery gates
Gunman storms stage, kills 4 at Ohio nightclub including guitarist “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott.
More at Blabbermouth.
More at Zack Wylde’s message board.
More at Metafilter.
My stomach feels twisted and my heart hurts. I know my brother is feeling it too.
Senseless killing……….
I went to a Pantera show with Dante once at the Troc, one of the most amazing shows I’ve ever seen.
Dimebag will be missed by the industry which is lacking people of his quality and heart. He wasn’t just a rock star, he was a great human being who made time for the people that cared about him.
It’s even sadder that this happened on the 24th anniverary of John Lennon being killed in 1980.
RIP Dimebag, Heaven just received another great guitarist…….
…….
I seen Pantara just about every time they came through Philly. I did not catch Damageplan on tour, this time around because I had a lot going on and I thought I would catch them their next time through. Looks like that will never happen.
The last real pit I was in was at a Pantara show Wed June 3, 1992 at The Trocadero in Philly. I remember getting real dizzy and I was not able to breath from the heat and Steve pulled me out of the pit into the front of the club so I could breath. And if I remember right, pieces of the ceiling kept falling on our heads. Pantara was one of the last great (real) Metal bands out there.
I am not only sadden buy the loss of one of the greatest guitar players of our time, I am also sadden buy the loss of one of the nicest people I have meet in the music business.
Diamond/Dimebag Darrell Abbott will not only live on through what he has created but through the people he has inspired.
Dante
Dante,
Wow, thanks for memory. I’d forgotten about the pieces of ceiling falling on us. I do remember you telling me that if I stage dived not to jump where the skinheads were because they’d act like they’d catch you and then move at the last second and let you hit, then stomp you with their doc martins.
Dante, I might have never said this but thanks for getting me into Pantera; as well as Dio and the rest.
That show at the troc was worth every dollar.
Best song of that night was Cowboys from Hell.
Note: I had the delete the comments of someone who was trolling and trying to hijack the thread. I also had to turn on comment approval. Apologies, but I mean what I say – don’t come into my house and piss all over it. Either you have a respect for other people’s property – and this site is *mine* – or you don’t.
This post is about Darrell – you have something to say about him – please do. Otherwise STFU. I just don’t have time for bullshit and drama. There are reasons why sites like instapundit and rc3.org don’t enable comments (in instapundit’s case, they are enabled when he intends to monitor them) in the first place. This is one of them.
I respect your property, you respect mine. Simple. Go in peace. Thanks for listening.
they should of put Phil out of his misery not d-bag,muthafukker!
Look – if there is anyone in this world who is feeling terrible – it’s him. Let him alone. They were like brothers and now he needs to live on with the knowledge he attacked his brother over stupid shit and can never reconcile. That’s far heavier a thing than you can put on anybody.
