[kj] OT: Dimebag shot dead on stage.

[Alex Smith]

Well, the unfortunate inevitability now is that rare instances like this tragedy and the Great White fire only serve to heighten a sense of alarmism. Instead of re-evaluating the real issue (that fuckin' 2nd Amendmant have'n'bear bullshit), the music and the metal community itself will become the scapegoats.  Reeeediculous.

Anyone else cited the fact that it also occurred on the twenty-fourth anniversary of John Lennon's murder (not that there's a serious connection, mind you).

I was a hardcore show bouncer in the 80's and early 90's- I remember one  
show there was this dude from the NYC DMS gang who was drunk and upset  about his 
favorite band "Killing Time" breaking up- so he was almost crying  and 
shooting a gun up in the air "why did they have to break up man..why did  they have 
to break up..BANG"- a little nerving and to have to ask him to  kindly knock 
it off. 
Another time after an Agnositc Front show, these kids came running back  in 
the club injured after being shot and stabbed b/c someone thought they were  
nazi skins. kids were like 15 and we had to go out with bats running down  
alleys trying to find the shooters- real fun stuff. 
 of course these instances are nothing like this. usually there is  quite an 
aura of a band when they are on stage. Even from the hardcore scene I  have 
never even heard of a band being attacked on stage what to speak of being  shot 
dead
