I grew up with bands like Pantera, and they were a great influence on who I am today.
So when I say I respect and appreciate good, heavy, angry music... it's bands like Pantera that come to mind.
So, to wake up one afternoon and find that one of the best guitarists in the world was murdered onstage by some freaking lunatic with a gun makes me fucking ill.
Although I'm sure parental groups will have a field day with this, I'm left here, angry... wanting to kick the shit outta not only ignorant fucking assholes like the guy who shot him, but the people who got him the gun.
Isn't there some kinda "stupid fucking redneck" clause when buying a gun?
Aren't these people supposed to be checked out thoroughly before being allowed to purchase one?
Too many good people have died already... too many good artists...
So I just want to thank you Dimebag... you had a big part in my younger life, and tho I might not have understood then, I do now. Thanks for being there for a kid who didn't know his head from a hole in the ground, thanks for inspiring me to be more than I was, and thanks for helping me find the backbone I needed to find to become strong enough to live my own life... without rage, without ignorance, without fear.
Time to wake up, mother fuckers... we lost a good man yesterday...
Pantera
A New Level
Now a new look in my eyes my spirit rise
Forget the past
Present tense works and lasts
Got shit on
Pissed on
Spit on
Stepped on
Fucked with
Pointed at by lesser men
new life in place of old life
Unscarred by trials
a new level of confidence and power
Demanding plea for unity between us all --
United stand
Death before divided fall
In mock military order
Vulgar
Power
Impatient
Because time is shorter
No fucking surrender
Can’t lose
Life kills
