Was stimmt denn nun ? Montegoblue 16:00, 9. Dez 2004 (CET)

nun, was hast du denn sonst noch gelesen...!? dimebag ist tot, das ist wohl leider fakt. ein weiteres bandmitglied soll entweder (ja nach quelle) schwer verletzte oder auch tot sein. fakt scheint weiter auch zu sein, dass vinnie überlebt hat, jedenfalls las ich das auf dem messageboard von damageplan als die page noch nicht vor überlastung in die knie gegangen ist. ich kopiere es mal in auszügen hier rein...
I've known them for 16 years. He wasn't just a guitarist, he was a friend. One of the nicest people I've met. Here is what I have been able to ascertain. Realize I could be wrong on some of this, but most of it is gospel.
  1. Daryl is dead. We all know this.
  2. Vinnie is fine (I have confirmed this)
  3. A bassist from the opening band tried to shield Daryl and was shot.
  4. Fans were shot
  5. The other member dead is believed to be Pat Lachman. This has not been confirmed, but I have this on very good sources, but it is VERY late for any of us who know anyone to get any info.
  6. Dime was taken to Riverside Hospital (DON'T CALL THERE!)
  7. A bouncer was shot in the shoulder.
  8. Someone was shot in the thigh, I believe this to be the bassist involved, but at point blank range, this may be critical.
  9. Three are dead (at this writing) one being the shooter. One is Daryl, I am nearly 95% sure the other is Pat.
  10. The shooter shot at Vince, but he crawled away on the floor and hit the deck (and you would too so no bullshit posts)
  11. There are now 5 confirmed dead.
This is all I know, and all anyone will probably know until morning. Peace be with you all. My email is below, but don't email me unless it's important.
