At Least 5 Dead, 2 Wounded In Nightclub Shooting
Witnesses: Alleged Gunman Went Onto Stage, Fired Shots

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- At least five people died and two others were wounded after a shooting at a Columbus nightclub on Wednesday night, NBC 4 reported.

Nightclub Shooting





The shooting took place shortly after 10 p.m. at Alrosa Villa, located at 5055 Sinclair Rd.

Two members of the heavy metal band Damageplan were reportedly shot and killed, including Dimebag Darrell, formerly with the band Pantera, NBC 4's David Wayne reported. The other band member's name was not released. The alleged gunman also died at the scene, Wayne reported.

Shortly after the band began playing its first song, a man reportedly ran onto the stage and began shooting, according to a witness who identified himself as Sean. Some members of the audience reportedly thought the man running onto the stage with a gun was part of the band's act, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported.

Witnesses said that several shots were fired at the band before a bouncer tackled the gunman before he was shot and killed.

Columbus police Sgt. Brent Mall said the shooter appeared to be targeting the band members. After opening fire on the stage, the gunman turned on the crowd. At that point, an officer shot the man dead, Mall added. Police said there could have been many more fatalities had the officer not killed the gunman.

NBC 4 reported that of the surviving victims, one person was in critical condition while the other was in fair condition. Several others were treated at the scene, suffering from various injuries.

Alrosa Villa is a popular north Columbus nightspot for young adults, featuring rock and heavy metal bands, NBC 4 reported.

According to the band's Web site, Damageplan was touring nationally. It performed in Buffalo, N.Y., on Tuesday night and had a concert scheduled in Flint, Mich., on Thursday.

Damageplan featured former Pantera artists Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul. The pair were joined by vocalist Patrick Lachman and bassist Bobzilla, according to their Web site.

He's a Texan born & bred and if he wasn't a legendary guitarist, he is now. Pick either or both reason.

'Dimebag' was (and always will be) the legendary lead guitarist for the now-defunct band 'Pantera.' He and his brother Vinnie Paul formed a new band, 'Damageplan,' which they were performing with during the shooting.

Dimebag and Vinnie were Texans, and they were also residents of Arlington (the city I live in, between Dallas and Ft. Worth), and were known to regularly have kick-ass parties and be generally good-tempered guys. Their house (Dime's, anyway) was decorated with a large purple gargoyle for a number of years, and the guys from Pantera could occasionally be seen out back with a cooler full of beers, just chillin' out and having a good time.

For hockey (and more specifically, Dallas Stars) fans, the Dallas Stars' song during/after the '98 Championship season was a song written by Darrell/Pantera.

God bless the families and friends of Darrell and Vinnie Paul. The music and rock/metal community lost a great piece of its circle.

This is tough,
and must be especially hard for Texans like Frogger.


How creepy that last night I was reading an old interview with Dimebag while going through my old isssues of Guitar World!!???

***<i>Surprisingly,</i> he was talking about the brush-ups he had with fans charging the stage. The only victim back then was a broken head-stock.

No early Metallica Mudd?
<i>I deny the existence of any Metallica album after "And Justice..."</i>

You think they sucked Sniper??

Darrell had very weak melodic structure to his solos, but he was the best at making his guitar scream like a f'ing Banshee!

A Great Psych-up band,
"Mouth for War" would be a great band before going into battle.

And last night I went old school. Stuck every CD by Pantera I own in the CD player...and someone even asked "do you mind turning it down?"

Five Minutes Alone has become my favorite song for the moment.

This also happened 24 years to the night that John Lennon was killed.

<i>By ANITA CHANG













COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The man who shot former Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and three other men to death at a nightclub was obsessed with the popular heavy metal band and made bizarre accusations against it, a onetime friend said in reports published Friday.

Jeramie Brey said gunman Nathan Gale once showed up at a friend's house saying he wanted to share songs he had written. The pages of lyrics were copied from Pantera, but Gale claimed he had written them, Brey said.

"He was off his rocker," Brey told The Columbus Dispatch. "He said they were his songs, that Pantera stole them from him and that he was going to sue them."

He later told Brey that he planned to sue Pantera for stealing his identity. Brey and friend Dave Johnson said Gale's behavior frightened them and they distanced themselves from him several years ago. But other friends said they never considered Gale capable of violence.




On Wednesday night, the 25-year-old former Marine charged the stage at a show by Abbott's new band, Damageplan, and gunned down four people including Abbott before a policeman fatally shot him.

Police said Friday they still didn't know Gale's motive, and they may never find out. Some witnesses said Gale yelled accusations that the revered guitarist broke up Pantera, but police had not verified those reports.

An imposing figure at 6-foot-3, Gale had made people uneasy even at the tattoo parlor, staring and locking them into conversations about heavy metal music. When he played offensive line for the semi-pro Lima Thunder football team, he psyched himself up before games by piping Pantera into his headphones, coach Mark Green said.

But Green had not pegged Gale as the type to go on a shooting rampage.

"It wasn't like he was a loner," Green said.





Gale had had minor run-ins with police since 1997 but wasn't considered a troublemaker, according to police in his hometown of Marysville, 25 miles northwest of Columbus.

Gale had served with the 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina until November 2003, when he was discharged after less than half of the typical four-year stint, Marine spokeswoman Gunnery Sgt. Kristine Scarber said. She declined to explain the discharge, citing privacy rules.

A few hours before the shooting, Gale had showed up at Marysville's Bears Den Tattoo Studio, where often he stared at people and forced them into conversations, manager Lucas Bender said.

"He comes in here and likes to hang out when he's not wanted," Bender said. "The most pointless conversations."

On Wednesday he asked about having the studio order tattoo equipment for him, tattoo artist Bo Toler said. Toler told him no, and Gale got angry and started yelling, he said.





"Last night was actually the first time I noticed his temper," Toler said.

No one answered the door Thursday at the Marysville home of Gale's mother, Mary Clark. A message left on her cell phone was not returned.

The violence at the smoke-filled Alrosa Villa club came just after the opening notes by Damageplan, the band formed by Abbott and his brother, drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott, after they left Pantera. Gale dodged two band members, grabbed Darrell Abbott and shot him at least five times in the head, witnesses and police said.

In less than five minutes, Gale had also killed Erin Halk, 29, a club employee who loaded band equipment; fan Nathan Bray, 23, of nearby Grove City; and band bodyguard Jeff Thompson, 40.

Two other band employees, Chris Paluska and John Brooks, remained in a hospital Friday morning with undisclosed injuries. Paluska was listed in good condition and Brooks in serious condition.

On 911 tapes released by authorities, one caller said, "I heard quite a few gunshots and I think somebody in the band definitely has been shot."

A short time later a man called and said: "He's on stage right now. He's got a gun." A moment later, the man said, "He just shot again," and then, "He's got a gun to somebody's head."

Despite a drizzle and temperatures in the 40s, more than 200 people turned up for a vigil Thursday night in the club's parking lot.

Shawn Sweeney, 22, played "old-school Pantera" on an acoustic guitar as a half-dozen young men held a blue tarp over his head and sang along as a crowd gathered.

"This is beautiful, this is absolutely beautiful," Sweeney said.

We stepped on a Plane that evening and I met my TAD unit in riyadh about 3 days later,in 4 day old PJ's, (glad i flew commando) They arrived. I used a payphone from there to call my Apartment Complex back in Gardenia (george AFB) and tell my lanlord their has been a slight change of plans... One of my Buddies in admin would move my stuff to storage. Which consisted of enough stuff to fit in a laundry basket. he got a moving van, and when he opened the door he thought i had already been evicted, lol till he seen the cot, pillow, blanket, and a wallocker. He was a little upset, "Dude i could of used my audi"

Was that your OV-10 years?
<i>You once did fly the OV-10, right?</i>

Metallica has... well, <i>had</i> a genuine, apocolyptic feel to their sound; noone could match it.

I can just imagine some of their instrumental tunes being played over a thermonuclear wasteland.

I'm trying to imagine exactly what Phil Anselmo was saying about Metallica during a live performance, after they went into the supercuts phase.

I wish I had a VCR to watch Dimebag Darrell messing around outside a studio w/ an axe & an amp. Over the end credits of Cowboys From Hell: The Videos.

And I was never able to confirm a so-called rock & roll fued that started when supposedly Pantera and the Wu-Tang Clan beat down the band 311.
