Am I the only person who's never heard of Dimebag Darrell? |
|
Not to be callous, but why do I get the feeling that I'm the last person on Earth who's ever heard of the guy? Is it a bad thing that I never would have heard the name Dimebag Darrell if he hadn't died?

I've never heard of him either and I've got a 19 year old who loves music and he has never mentioned him to me.

3. No, I think most people didn't know who he was. |
|
Pantera certainly didn't have all THAT many fans.
I don't see any reason why most people WOULD know him. And this is coming from someone that actually DOES listen to Pantera.

6. His music is a bit of an acquired taste... |
|
If you like metal that makes you bleed profusely from both eyeballs for weeks at a time, he had you covered. But he was also a great guitar player, and came across as a very thoughtful fellow in several interviews.

It was interesting at work when one of the kids at work got a call from her bf & she kept on saying dimebag, dimebag. At first I thought she was talking about a dime bag of pot. No drug deals at work, please! (Or if you must, please share).:smoke:

10. I heard on the radio today that some in the MSM were comparing his |

death with John Lennons. :( That's a bit of a stretch.

18. I think they were comparing the circumstances |
|
In which case it's not a stretch at all.

12. I knew him from Guitar magazines---not a pantera fan |
|
although I did have one of their albums when I was a wee lad. But I mostly knew him from his numerous articles he wrote to help aspiring guitarists :-(

I'm in my 40's and had no idea who he was or the band.
When I first heard the news that "Dimebag Darrel" was murdered, I thought to myself. "Good, no less drug dealer off the street.
I didn't know he was a musician. I'm glad the cop bagged the jerk who did him in, though.

17. Nope...I hadn't a clue, either. |

I'd barely been aware of the previous existence of the band Pantera. So I couldn't name One of its members. If Darrell hadn't been shot and killed yesterday, I might have died still not knowing who he was or what he did.

19. I guess because there aren't many screamo fans here |
|
Pantera isn't my cup o tea, either, but I did actually buy Great Southern Trendkill.
It sucks that some crazy steroid fanboy went lunatic and gunned down the band on stage because of Pantera's breakup.

Being involved in some of the music world for a while I would have thought I would have known who he is. Of course I knew of Pantera and heard some of their stuff, but didn't know the name of the guys in the band. I love all different types of music, but some I never acquired a taste for. Thrash metal is one of those types. It would be like if someone told me a famous opera star passed away. :shrug:

22. When Kurt Cobain died, |

I felt about the same way and I am squarely in the middle of the generation that supposedly was most moved by his music. I had heard of Nirvana, but I couldn't name their band members to save my life. It didn't help that I couldn't stand their music.
