Yeah I agree, Phil had nothing to do with this...Why would he? This is my speculation so don't take to much out of it because it is just my opinion. I believe Phil is probably at his house getting absolutely fucked up right now..There fight between each other was nothing more than shit to get more press for each others bands, ya know? Phil is probably fucking in a bad hole right now....This shit had to crush him and the powers of substance abuse has probably put him in a bad place. I really wouldn't blame him either...Those guys have spent so much of their lives together that they are like brothers and brothers fight you know? It just takes time to make things right with each other and unforunately Phil won't get that chance and I am sure it is eating him up inside. I just hope Phil doesn't overdo things(drugs) and makes it through this bullshit..
I drove to the Machine Shop in Flint last night because Damageplan was supposed to play there the next night. They basically had a vigil there and it was just such a surreal feeling in there. It was pretty touching because the place was just packed and all kinds of people there were just listening to Pantera and Damageplan and sharing their stories about how Pantera or Damageplan affected their lives. They even had people get on stage and play Pantera songs to the best of their abilities. No one can play exactly like Dime but it was a fitting tribute to someone who brought so much inspiration to so many people. I just hope Vinnie pulls through this shit. I feel so fucking sad for him. I cannot imagine having to witness your little brother get murdered right in front of you. I am best friends with my brother as I am sure Vinnie was also with Dime and I just cannot even begin to imagine the grief that he is feeling. I think I would fucking just turn into a shell of a person if something like that ever happened to my brother. My brother and I always looked up to Dime and Vinnie they were always our favorite members and we both started playing music because of our love for their music and always made the joke that we were the Dime and Vinnie combo( well my brother plays bass not guitar but you get what I mean). I just still can't even grasp this fucking bullshit.
The one thing that really scares me now is who is going to copycat this shit and where will it be? Shit like this always makes some other psyco go out and try and copy cat this shit because he is also a loser just like Gale....I am with you Old School, I want to find out were this fucking puke is buried so I can also piss on his grave. It's only about a 5 hour drive and I will be more than happy to do it.
Man metal and concerts in general will never be the same because of this fucking bullshit.
as I said before, let me know I´ll try to join ya on your pissing mission.
