Death of a Legend

I just heard on the news that "Dimebag" Darrell, was shot and killed while performing with his new band, Damageplan, in Columbus Ohio. Apparently, some lunatic stormed the stage with a gun and fired several shots at Dimebag before turning on other band members and the audience. He was eventually killed by police. It's reported that one other band member was killed.

If you don't know who Dimebag is, he is considered a legend in the guitar world. He became famous as a front man for legendary metal band Pantera. He recently started this new band with his brother. I have the Damageplan albums, along with a Pantera album or two. I must admit, even though I'm not a die-hard fan, I'm pretty saddened by the news.
