wow. that was amazing.
RIP dimebag.

whats amazing is how his legacy lives on...ive been to three concerts where a band has played one of his riffs, and i was at a nickelback concert where they played the song "side of a bullet", which is in honor of dimebag and features a solo of him,while showing a slidewho of dimebag pictures and clips.
truly an amazing and inspiring musician

So wait, VH1 can use the footage of Dimebag being shot, but E! can't use any footage of Dimebag?

What an attention whore there is really no reason to send this to who ever she was going to because its not that impressive of rebuttal and who cares he's been dead for long enough not like it happened yesterday.

to: tom violence

well it seems like ("seems" because you never know someone's intentions) that the vh1 behind the music episode was a real tribute to pantera and dime's life and death. it seemed like they actually cared,from a personnal and musical stand point.

e! is a gossip magazine made for cable tv. some might see it as it trying to use people's deaths for shock value and gossip over popcorn and beers. it doesn't seemed like they give a shit.

maybe e! is being honest and really understands the impact of darrell's death...but i doubt it.This Message Edited On 08.22.06This Message Edited On 08.22.06

Wow. E! got pwned.

jesus christ

all that can be said is ...zing

Pantera have no room to speak about the audience of this or any channell. They are making it seem like E! is trying to profit off of Dimebag Darrell's death, but they need to look in the mirror and realize they are the ones capatalizing. They shouldn't even be a band any more, the only recognizable member is long gone. And any work they've done after his passing was garbage. So they should realize that E! is just trying to put together an honest list and have participents pay homage to DD and give the pathetic remnants of the band respect that they most likely do not deserve. And it's one thing to call people stupid, but it's another to have someone else articulate your hate speech into words. We know they have a rawwwk image to maintain, but this is ridiculous. What was once a good band with some nice and hard efforts has become a pathetic excuse for music, and i see this only as an attention whorish publicity stunt, which instead of having E! talk about something important like Darrell's death, they will just get owned by Ryan Seacrest, Michael Musto and others (and rightfully so) What a load of crap.

Oh yeah, and having a publicist is sooo hardcore. GTFO!!!

[/rant]

She, uh, could have just said "no."

It's not like they're taking a dump on a photo of John Lennon...

That was just asking for footage too, it's not like they're still not going to include him in the list.

"They shouldn't even be a band any more, the only recognizable member is long gone."

Pantera isn't a band any more...they disbanded in 2003 before Dimebag was even shot.This Message Edited On 08.22.06

[quote=roy]e! is a gossip magazine made for cable tv. some might see it as it trying to use people's deaths for shock value and gossip over popcorn and beers. it doesn't seemed like they give a ****.[/quote] VH1 is almost the exact same thing as E! these days.

That was some response.....

I was pretty shocked when I saw the footage of it on Vh1, I think they should do it to open peoples eyes about being a little bit more careful at concerts.This Message Edited On 08.22.06

I want to see the footage of his death.

E! just got worked. gg.

I want to see the footage of his death.

what a response. bear in mind that this publicist probably knew dime too, so she'd have felt disgusted by this.

as well as the fact that i agree with every word she says there, i also despise gossip magazines/channels etc. the people those companies deserve to be shot again and again and again and again.

The response was a bit excessive, but it seems like a lot of you didn't read it. It's easy for us to watch someone we didn't know die on t.v. because we see it all the time in movies. What if it was just worlds most outrageous deaths, and your parents were on there being shot? Wouldn't that be cool too!

i never thought of i8t like that.

That would be pretty awesome, actually.

I'm definitely siding with the Pantera publicist on this issue.

I saw the footage. Dime was just out of picture, but I saw the shooter. It was on Much More Music, which may just be a Canadian channel.

Don't know how they got permission to show the footage.

Jane Hoffman has my respect.

Two seconds later, he lifts his arms, aims a rifle at your brother, your best friend, your buddy and blows his brains out, not three feet from where you are.

And please, if you don’t like that scenario, make believe it’s your child who got his brains splattered all over a stage in Ohio.

I like to roast marshmallows over them.

Pantera=REDNECKS STOMPING

Everything about this situation is disgusting. Some sick bastard kills his hero. Suddenly, everybody is a fan of dimes and gear companies are kicking out lunch boxes with 'R.I.P. Dime' on it.

I say why the hell not let E! make a cents off of this tragedy, everybody else is. /spits

He should be somewhere in the top 10 of the most overated deaths in history.
