I've heard of 'die hard' fans of metal, but this is beyond resonable:
Five Killed, Two Hurt in Ohio Concert ShootingI've never really been much into Pantera but I knew people who absolutely loved them.COLUMBUS, Ohio — The band Damageplan had just started playing Wednesday night at the Alrosa Villa nightclub outside Columbus when a gunman walked on stage and shot top heavy metal guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott five or six times at point-blank range.
The shooter then turned his weapon into the packed crowd, killing at least two fans who were at the club to see the Texas-based band, formed from the ashes of the legendary thrash-metal group Pantera (search), authorities and witnesses said.
A police officer walked on stage as the gunman held another man at gunpoint, killing the shooter before he could fire again. In all, five people lay dead and at least two others were wounded.
I can understand about being upset about a band breaking up, but to kill one of the people that founded the group is (pardon the pun) overkill.
I guess the reasoning behind why this guy decided to kill an awesome guitarist can only be reasonably understood by crazy people.
Rest in Peace - God will announce your next show. BTW Darrell - the Almighty digs heavy metal; if he didn't, he wouldn't have allowed it to be created.
Sounds like a killer concert.

What's with the "loved?" ;) For many of us it's not past-tense. We still love Pantera, even very early Pantera when they started out as a hair-metal band. This news has absolutely blown me away.

I still can't understand why that never caught on. Big, heavy metal dudes, sporting a long, pink goatee. Makes sense to me.
