In a world of Metal Magic...
- Vinnie Paul is NOT dead. - he is wounded and in the hospital.
Here's some of the immediate responses from the metal community:
-Scott Ian of ANTHRAX: "I am devastated as I'm sure we all are. All I can convey at this moment are my condolences to Rita and Vinnie and the whole family. My heart is with you.
-Zakk Wylde of OZZY OSBOURNE / BLACK LABEL SOCIETY: "We lost Dime tonight. We have no official details, and I personally am not saying anything. I want to thank Shawn Sexton (Sierra Nevada) from sdmfworldwide.com for calling Chad Lee and I in Chicago and bringing it to our attention, first and foremost. Right now, I myself, and the entire Doome Crew Inc., those I've spoken to, can't even begin to try to fuckin' assmble words in sentences to tell you guys how we feel. Give us a few days to circle the wagons. Whatever comes across officially from the family will be conveyed, as always, humbly by us."
-Howard Jones of KILLSWITCH ENGAGE: "This is insane and this is beyond travesty. This is beyond anything I've ever heard. This shouldn't happen in or outside of the rock and metal community. He will be missed and mourned as a person, as a musician, and as a friend."
-Blasko of ROB ZOMBIE / OZZY OSBOURNE: "I'm speechless. This is totally unreal. Dimebag is a fucking legend and this is total bullshit."
I'm very heartbroken... but not devistated... Devistated would be "George Romero found dead", then I'd be sick for a very long time.
