CapNColostomy Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 Just coincidence, I know. But still weird. Dime was killed exactly 24 years to the night after the shooting of John Lennon on the Upper West Side of New York. *Goes off to listen to the solo work on the song "Floods"* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity this happend while he was doing what he loved; playing music. I think it's what he'd wanted, rather than dying alone in his apartment, as for example Quorthon (hails) anyways, rest in piece, and hail to the dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagabond Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Though I didn't know him, I knew of him and Pantera. No one should die this way - it's a sad day indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it kinda sucks that to hear more info on this trajedy, I can tune into cnn, or fox, the net, or countless other "news" outlets, yet a station proclaiming itself to be "Music Television" has barely made any mention of this at all. For Gawds sake if this were "Biggy" or "Tupac" I'd be bombarded with tributes from peers, makeshift eulogys, and biopics about it. I remember when Cobains body was found, for two days straight at least, all you saw was Nirvana Unplugged over and over, and news stories. So it's not something that's exclusive to black people obviously. What gives MTV? Where the hell are you people? They had one album debut at number one, so is Dime not black, or not top 40s enough for your commercial asses to provide decent coverage of? [EDIT. AGAIN] Mostly I'm just curious to see/hear what Phil Anselmo has to say about this. Alot of folks in the metal community are saying that he inspired the attack in the first place. And I'd really like to know, after all the bad mouthing of the Abbott bros that he did, how he feels now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 MTV has turned into even more of a corporate whore, they pretty much always were once they hit the 90's. But you know. Not many people listen to pantera. I for one like tupac, but all that "omg let's mourn him cuz we don't wanna offend the black people" **** pisses me off. and your welcome. the man was a legend, he doesn't deserve a swampies average thread kinda fate.

Baron von Pelt Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 He was one of my most favoritest metal guitarists ever. I can't believe someone could just walk up point-blank and shoot him like that. Well, nobody lives forever, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapNColostomy Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 The family of slain DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott has requested a "Kiss Kasket" (photo) for Abbott to be buried in, KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons revealed during an appearance on Fox News' "The Big Story Weekend Edition with Rita Cosby" on Saturday (Dec. 11). The coffin features the faces of the four founding members of KISS, the KISS logo and the words "Kiss Forever". A transcript of Simmons' appearance on the program follows: Rita Cosby: Gene, it's great to see you, my friend. I wish it was under better circumstances. Gene Simmons: Thank you, thank you. Cosby: Now, I understand there was something special. This just came down recently. Darrell Abbott's family requested something sort of special tied with your band. Tell us about it. Simmons: Well, I wasn't really prepared to talk about it, but the family requested, as a personal issue between the family and the grieving people who are going to be there, to send a Kiss Kasket. We initially did it as a promotion. And you know, I think it meant a lot to Darrell when, you know — when he was alive, he gave lots of people great joy. I mean he had the band tattooed onto his chest. He was a major figure in rock and roll. He's going to be greatly missed. And the family wish — you know the one last wish they had was that he be buried in a Kiss Kasket. And I think it's a private matter for the family and the fans actually. Cosby: No, and I think that's beautiful that that's happening, too, because I'm sure, it obviously, as you said, meant a lot to him. How big of a shock was this? You know this guy really was a legend and so well respected in the industry. How big of a shock was it to you, Gene, when you heard what happened? Simmons: You know it's about as shocking as it can get. The unfortunate thing is that the media will tend to sort of look at the visuals, you know, the flying hair and the crazy look and all of the over- the-top stuff, which is what performing is all about. But people forget that underneath all of that, actually, Darrell was a very, very sweet guy, very upstanding, very quiet in his own way, immensely talented. PANTERA was a very, very important band. And I'm sure all the fans are going to miss him very much. I know I do. We — KISS played at the stadium in Argentina and we invited PANTERA to join us. And it was one of the highlights of any of the tours we have ever played. Darrell was just a sweet guy. Cosby: Gene, how vulnerable are you guys to fanatical fans like this mad man who did this horrible act? Simmons: You know people often forget that the word "fan" actually comes from the word "fanatical". Most people are very nice. Most people respect your privacy. But here's no secret, most celebrities check into hotels under pseudonyms and the reason is not because I don't love the fans but because you've got to be able to keep everybody at arm's length because every once in a while you're going to get a nut job. The only justice, as far as I'm concerned is that this nut case is no longer around to do this to anybody else. The unfortunate thing about the judicial system, if you'll allow me, is that, if he were caught, somebody would bring up the point he had a troubled childhood and that we should rehabilitate him. And I'm not a fan of that, I have to say. Whether he was troubled or not, if you resort to violence and you kill somebody, you should be taken off the face of the earth. Cosby: No, and it is — absolutely, I agree with you. How do you protect yourself, Gene? I mean you talk about this balance — you got so many wonderful fans, you in particular, you know, folks — and you want to have that access, you want to have that one-on-one. But then there's that wild one all of a sudden who does something horrible. How do you find that balancing act? Simmons: You've got to be able to separate the fact from the fiction, the stage histrionics from the private life. When you walk down the street, you've got to be aware that everybody is not necessarily your best friend and then — you know, sometimes somebody is going to have an ulterior motive, which is why when you check into a hotel, you have to do it under an assumed name. And when you go some place big and public and where there are lots of people, you've got to take security with you both for legal issues. I mean if I did something with this fist to somebody who was getting in my face —- and I'm 6-foot-2. I'm not shy. If you get in my face, I'll take you out. You literally can't do that. You've got to be able to have a buffer, somebody else between you and somebody who's — you know who's being improper. Celebrity is not everything that everybody believes it is. It is a precarious position in life. But, you know we do it because we love it. Cosby: And Gene Simmons, we love you and thank you so much for coming here and talking about this. We appreciate it. Simmons: I just want to say one last thing, which is. Cosby: Yes, real quick if you could, Gene. Simmons: Our hearts and our best wishes go out to the family. He was a great guy. He's going to be sorely missed. Cosby: Thank you, Gene, very much, and he definitely will. And we appreciate you're coming here. Thank you, Gene, very much. Now I'm by no means a fan of KISS, but even I'll admit that's pretty farkin' cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been seriously thinking about being stuffed by a taxidermist (after dying, ya perverts) and being put in a sort of "action pose" like the bears at some of the museums and what-not. Or maybe just with my arms out in a welcoming posture, so I'd be usefull, like a coat and hatrack. Hell, undo my pants, and I could even hold a scarf or something. Or maybe I could be put in a "natural" looking pose. You know, me in my favorite chair, with a beer in my hand. That would only be good for a laugh if nobody knew about my plans to be stuffed. That way, when my friends came by to steel all my stuff and pork my wife, they'd freak out for a second. And I'd laugh from heaven. Or hell. It's still undecided. BTW, Astro? John Holmes didn't die from the clap. So there goes your dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
