I live in Columbus and I had planned on going to this show for a month, bought a new guitar, and I couldn't get anymore money to go, I guess I'm lucky I didn't, I'm not a mosher, more the guy that tries to get to the front, especially because I wanted to see dimebag tear it up. I have a friend who worked at the club (she quit after that) but I guess that monster that killed everybody climbed a fence and burst through the door to get in. She saw the gun and tried to grab for him, but couldn't reach, another person, Nathan Bray, saw him too, and he got ahold of him and the guy shot him in the face. Then he rushed the stage. The local news interviewed some of the killers former friends who said he went to one of their houses like a month ago and he was talking about Pantera stealing things he wrote. Yeah this guy is a nutjob and I'm glad he's dead. Because if there is a hell, he's suffering, he's getting what he deserves.
Rest in piece Dimebag, your music will live forever and you will never be forgotten as a musician and friend to many people. I know this event just makes me want to play guitar more and more, it's the LTD I spent my paycheck on that may have saved my life because I could have been one of the people in the front row to have been murdered. it sends chills down my spine. Rest in piece.
