5 years ago today, I saw Slayer/Mastodon/Killswitch Engage/Hemlock in Billings, MT. Slayer stopped abruptly, came out after ~15 minutes and did 2 more songs. Kerry left a shot on the stage. Chad from Hemlock was out in the lobby saying "Oh fuck, I just heard Dime was shot". I didn't believe him: I said "why would someone say ...some shit like that?" Finding out it was true was really horrible.
My band is playing this Saturday at a local mini-fest dubbed "DIMESTOCK". We're playing War Nerve, Slaughtered, and possibly Domination (we play that pretty often, we have it as a backup in case we end up with more time for our set).
Cheers to Dime! GETCHA PULL!!
