I'll be at Dime's service here tonight. I'll post about it later. What a sad day.

If you get to speak with any of the abbots of the band, please send them condolences from the Orphaned Land family...

blaming the US for this sad incident is simply wrong. you can illusion yourself that the US is filled with more insanity then any other given place in this world.

you`ll find hate everywhere. Perhaps people blame US for being filled with insanity because they themselves see (or used to see) america as a role model for a free (and maybe supposed to be a safe) place...

this is definitly not the place for blamming.
RIP Diamond Darrel.

thank you for your comments. I hate to admit that we do have some bad individuals but our country is so much larger in porportion to countries like Germany for instance. Germany is about the size of New York. This comes into affect when bands try to tour the US as most go home to europe all amazed at how hard it is to travel around the entire US by bus.

I just hope dimebag is up there in the big garage in the sky jamming with Randy Rhoads, cliff burton, john bonham, and bon scott in what must be an amazing live act there!!

I went to Dime's memorial last night. There were thousands lined up outside the convention center. I waited about an hour in the cold just to get in the doors. Once we got in, they had a huge picture of Dimebag above the stage, a cardboard cut out of him, and his funeral flowers lined up across the stage. They had blown up photos of various magazine covers also, and two huge screens on either side of the stage. It started about 20 minutes late, as later explained, people would kid Dimebag about being late for his own funeral, and so he was.

A few people spoke, namely Jerry Cantrell (who played two songs with Mike Inez), then Zakk Wylde and Eddie Van Halen. Vinnie was the last to speak, and, of course, was the most touching and emotional. With tears in his eyes and his voice breaking towards the end, I don't think there was one person who wasn't totally moved by his speech about his brother. They then played a long video with concert footage, music videos, and homemade movies with Dimebag being himself.

It was a great night, part concert part memorial and liquor and tears all around.

I have been so down since i heard about it that night, Dime is one of the reasons why i even play guitar. I wish i could have gone to the memorial but i live in california. I am just glad that i finally did get to see him and vinnie live once last month with damageplan, that was fucking awesome. I posted something about this at my bands site if anyone wants to read it http://www.hejiraband.com
