There were apparently five or six people crowding around his body, trying to perform first aid. It wasn't a thing of logic, but of shock and horror. They acted irrationally because they couldn't believe they just watched one of their idols murdered onstage.
Jesus Christ, this has never fucking happened before. How many musicians can you name who were murdered by another human being onstage. I can't think of a single one.
Dime didn't deserve this. He's one of the most influential metal musicians of the last decade and a half.
Go download some of Pantera's songs, King. "Cowboys From Hell", "Walk" and "5 Minutes Alone" are a good place to start.
Some of the articles I've read have said that the shooter was yelling at Dime, blaming him for breaking up Pantera after he shot him. Why the fuck would you kill a member, thereby preventing the band from ever being able to reunite?
I just can't understand this. Of all the musicians in the entire world, why'd it have to be him?
