Hope Gokul wasn't there...he strikes me as the heavy metal type.

It's been on the local news here. Everyone they interviewed on the scene so far has been obviously drunk, so they might not be getting good soundbites to use in national coverage.

No I wasn't...and I'm not really a metalhead either (though about 10 years ago, I would have gone to a Pantera concert, if they came to town)...but this has been in the news here all morning.

 

[Math Is Hard]

oh, no. I knew him - back when I lived in Texas. oh, that is so sad. I can't believe someone would do that. I just can't understand.

Oh dear. I recognise the name. I was quite concerned because I thought he was from Pantera... didnt he play for them at one point? RIP darrel.

Dimebag Darrel and his brother started Pantera.

Has anything like this ever happened before? Someone killing a musician while they're preforming?
