Damageplan Tragedy?
I don't know for sure what is going on, but I've heard that there was a shooting at a Columbus, OH nightclub where Damageplan was playing. There are conflicting reports saying who was shot. Some say 2 of the members of Damageplan were shot and killed. I don't know the story. Anybody else heard anything?

I just heard about it on the radio station WRIF here in the Detroit area. The DJ didn't sound too optimistic. But he hasn't heard all of the facts yet.

This fucking sucks, it really does. I don’t know what to actually say right now except that the guy was a fucking fuckering fuckatash. This fucking sucks

Why does the guy go on a shooting spree at a Damgeplan concert? Go to a fucking Britanny Spears or something and shoot her or something The female pop stars never get shot at a concert. :foc:

That's probably because female popstars have quite a lot of security. i can't imagine a club with 250 people in would.

Pantera was one of my all time favourite bands, if not *the* all time favourite.

I'm absolutely speechless.

I just hope Anselmo thinks before he says anything on this, if he says anything at all.

A blurry black-and-white photograph of DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott's alleged killer, Nathan Gale, has been posted online.



Investigators in Columbus, Ohio say Gale, 25, had a hostage in a headlock when he was shot by a police officer. Police won't identify the hostage.

Dimebag's death shook the heavy metal music industry as colleagues reeled from the news and fans flooded web sites to share their grief.

PANTERA's manager Kim Zide-Davis, who worked with Abbott 1994 to 2003, was overwhelmed by the news of his death, according to CNN. She told the AP she often told the guitarist he was "a living cartoon character."

"He would do things that you wouldn't believe a real person was capable of," she said.

She said there was a sweet and caring side of Abbott that many people never saw.

"Everything you saw from him was real. That was who he was," she said. "He lived and unfortunately died by his guitar. What you saw on stage was his enjoyment."

This is still just unbelievable. I've heard reports that the guy just went up to Dimebag and yelled that he broke up Pantera and just started shooting. I even heard that the guy had Vinnie Paul as his hostage, but wasn't killed.

Damn, bands break up from time to time, but this is absolutely uncalled for. There may have even been a reunion from Pantera, but no longer. Even though I didn't plan on going, Damageplan was supposed to be coming to Flint tonight. Pantera was awesome, Damageplan was great. R.I.P.

I was lucky enough to see damageplan this year at the download festival in the UK, they took slayers place on the mainstage, fate possibly, but to hear the master at work aswell as them play "walk" was the highlight of the day.

Why does the guy go on a shooting spree at a Damgeplan concert? Go to a fucking Britanny Spears or something and shoot her or something The female pop stars never get shot at a concert. :foc:
1) He went there because he was pissed about Pantera breaking up.

2) You're a fucking idiot, no one should go on a shooting spree at any concert.


as for Vinnie Paul, there were reports this morning that a 2nd bandmember was dead and it was belived to be him, but there was also eye-witnesses who said Paul's stage hand (roadie) jumped in front of paul and got shot twice protecting him. I haven't had the radio on, so haven't heard anything new tonight.

I did also hear the cop did a great job, someone called 911, the cop was there in 2mins and from point he entered the building (from the back) to point where he shot the shooter who had a hostage less the 60seconds.

Everytime someone pisses on police, I see stuff like this and realises again, how underpaid and apreciated cops are.

09 Dec 2004 Here's a statement Metal Hammer writer Brink O'Neill (who is based in Columbus, Ohio where the Damageplan club massacre took place) sent to this evening (UK time).

"I didn't go to the concert. Ministry was in town so I went to that show instead. I found out about what happened when I got a call from a publicist in Los Angeles asking me if I was okay.

"I went out to Alrosa Villa. Spoke to a few witnesses. One who works for the club and did lights this evening, one fan who was right at the front of the stage when it happened and his wife, who was on the Patio where the guy crashed the fence. Before he made his way onto the stage.

"From what everyone has said, this was essentially an assassination. Yes, others were killed, but the guy made a bee-line right for Dimebag, held the gun right to his head and squeezed off three rounds. The witnesses I spoke to said that nothing was said, that the time between him getting onstage and pulling the trigger was too short, or that the music was so loud you couldn't hear anything anyway. The gunman had one thing in mind. Nobody knows for what reasons as of yet, and maybe we will never know. (This won't stop suspicious minds from speculating, naturally.)

"The police spokesperson said that an officer happened to be right around the corner from the club so he got to the club only about two minutes after the shooting started. From what I heard, the guy had emptied one clip, had loaded another and just started to shoot into the crowd. He also supposedly took a male hostage. The stand off didn't last long: The cop took out the suspect with a shotgun blast to the head.

"Dimebag is dead and probably never knew what hit him. Early news reports said another band member died in the shooting. I don't know what other member is dead but rumour had it was the bassist. Vinnie Paul is alive and shaken. Among the rest of the dead are a club employee named Aaron, supposedly, a local loader. And the shooter.

"I spoke to the owner of the club. He was incredibly shaken and didn't know what was going to happen. I felt really bad - I wanted to get a quote for the story I have to write but Rick is a good guy and a friend and I didn't want to ambush him mere hours after this tragedy. I hope I can speak with him on the record this afternoon.

"I will repeat that he said that the actions taken by his bouncers was heroic and saved lives. Given how many shots this guy took (no less than 15 according to one person I spoke with) and how many people were within spitting distance of him (the venue was not sold out but was filled nicely - probably 500 or so people according to estimates I heard) this one could have easily been a lot worse.

"I also made some calls to Phil Anselmo's people to get a reaction. Thus far, no official release, but a spokesperson said he was "devastated."

"For the record (for those who don't know about Columbus) Alrosa has been here for a few decades. It still has the feel of the old New Jersey metal emporiums - and it booked a lot of the bands, then and now. However, bands such as Guided By Voices have graced the stage there. Shows in limbo include Satyricon and Hatebreed.

"The owner Rick "The Rock And Roll Reverend" Cautella is an character. He always did his own commercials on the local radio station complete with loud sound effects. He seemed to enjoy the attention that came from this. He always made sure I got into the room and when I reviewed a show for him, he's sport me a beer or two.

"I'm rambling a bit with this stream-of-consciousness. All I know is that if I had an assignment to review this show - or even if Ministry wasn't in town this evening - I would have been at that show. It's hard to separate me as a writer trying to get as much information as possible for my story (stories, actually, since another of my outlets will probably ask me to supply something) and me as the guy who went to that place fairly often and knew a lot of the people there.

"I don't know what will happen. I kind of feel like those folks in Rhode Island felt except even though so many more people died there, that was an accident caused by unfortunate negligence. This was completely intentional, an assassination as sure as I'm typing this, and that's just surreal to contemplate."

Even though I wasn't a fan of Pantera, I'm fully aware of the impact the band made, and it's a tragedy that this had to happen. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Guns at a concert? WTF? I'm sure concerts like this will have tighter security or something now which will probably increase the price in tickets.

R.I.P. I'm not going to lie and say I know who he was but it's sad to see somebody shot over possibly a stupid reason

That's terrible. RIP to all who were killed.

Just out of (ignorant) curiosity, it says in that article Kirk posted that the club employee was a local loader. What exactly is a loader?

RIP to one of the great metal guitarists. But how's this for another strange coincidence: Just picked up the new Revolver mag, where Vinnie Paul writes a Q and A column. First Question:What wold be your least favourite way to die? If you had to choose the way to die, what would you pick?

Turns out the 4th victim was one of the band's security guys. Their tour manager is also in a serious condition, and their drum tech was also wounded.
