wow, my mistake for thinking this was an intelligent board. I keep forgetting. People die every day, you know. I don't mean to belittle a particular person, but how many days go by unremembered and deaths forgotten? Why are only a few remembered, over and over and over ad nauseum? If, as you claim, they don't even care beyond whatever grave there is, then what's the point of even going through the motions like this? If this is the most meaningful event of anyone's life, besides the family of the deceased, then that to me just speaks of a life unfulfilled and left wanting. Every year I see RIP this guitarist or that, and defenders of such topics proclaim "but they did so much for the world!" Well, I don't see RIP Gandhi threads. So you see, I just find this sort of thing hollow and pointless. But carry on, if you must.

Oh, Kenneth... I'm not sure whether you're being pedantic or whether you're just kind of cold-hearted. I think it might be both.

Is the problem you're having that folks say, "Rest In Peace" when what they ought to be saying is "Never Forget"? As far as I know, the dead have not complained about being remembered. In fact, as long as we remember the dead, we can hope that others will do the same for us when we are gone. It softens the finality of death to know that others will remember you. Don't we alllong for immortality?

Did Dime make the world a better place? Not on Ghandi's level, to be sure. But did he make people smile? Did he inspire kids to pick up the guitar? Was he a human being who had a family and friends? You know, I'd be willing to bet that a lot of the people here haven't really known a lot of people who've died. And even though they didn't know Dime, it is possible that he was a part of their lives in some way. There's nothing wrong in celebrating that. Besides, it's not as if he died of natural causes or even managed to do himself in in some sort of stupid rockstar fashion. He was murdered. He died before his time, and that's sad whether you knew him or not. And I'm sure that the millions who die uncelebrated are in fact remembered by those who they touched. No one can know everyone.

And is it wrong to hope that he's at peace now? And by expressing our hope that he is, you're saying that disturbs him? I suppose Martin Luther King day is a huge disruptive force, then. I'm not saying Dime is MLK, of course. But if it's true for one, is it not true for the other?

I hear what you're saying, but I think you're overreacting a bit, my friend.

Who wants..... to live.... foreverrrrrrrrrrrr....

 

[Mr. Bland]

wow, my mistake for thinking this was an intelligent board.

There is your mistake... and a big one.

 

[i aint play this]

Cool guy, a real talent, R.I.P. i like all the post glam stuff he did with pantera.

 

[Tubbs]

Lmao, I keep forgetting CfH isn't their first album.

 

[soundave]

Metal Magic!

 

[Kenneth R.]

meh, If I'm overreacting it's only because I've seen this so many times.

these threads do seem to be everywhere but I think DIme deserves them. Fuk Give em a break he was shot in the skull, his gig was cut short because of some asshole nutbug who shot him. His career was far from over and the man had a lot more to prove musicaly. Metal legend now, how do you like that...Of course Dime will be remembered so mellow out, smoke a fat doobie, and get some Pantera cds to blast on your stereo until your speakers blow.:Smokin:

 

[Kenneth R.]

agreed until your first comma.

 

[old spice]

wow, my mistake for thinking this was an intelligent board
