Dimebag Darrell RIP

Mass media huh? Found out about this from the story "Ozzy beside himself with grief"... Talk about framing a story.

You probably won't know, but Darrell Abbott was the guitar hero from Pantera, who split to start his own band. Rumours of him being sober at any time are probably false, but he was an ace guitarist, and wrote some of the best riffs in heavy metal. He's gone up to the big bottle of Jack in the sky, after being gunned down on stage, along with a body guard, a fan and an employee of the club.

It pisses me off - here was a man of real talent, and his murder doesn't make a headline. Imagine if Britney Spears got shot on stage.

Edit:
Spookily, while this marks the first time a rock star has been killed on stage in the US, it occured on the anniversary of the murder of John Lennon.
