Terrible fucking news. 

 

[Elmer_Fudd 22304]

Never did get to see Pantera but saw Hellyeah live several times.  Have a drum stick and an autograph from VP.

[Radical Larry 28651]

Goddammit. 

[LongestHorn 759]

This is sad news.  RIP

[Lurch 5931]

Damn. I’m guessing some guys in here have VP stories.

RIP

[tbone_ 14132]

Shit

[tbone_ 14132]

Damn. I’m guessing some guys in here have VP stories.

RIP

I drank with him and Darrell at the clubhouse.

Looks like I’m pouring out a few black tooth grins tonight.

Was n DFW this week and had lunch with a common friend that had just vaca'd with him.  Caught a few of Hellyeah's CO shows last couple of years and hung out with him a bit, good guy...  RIP VP.

[BoomMF 1399]

Fucking hell.

[Rustic Horn 929]

Damn, RIP VP.

[Longhorn_Fan68 33878]

Fuuuuuck. I'll sum up my thoughts when I'm sober. But damn, I didn't expect this one. Fuuuuuck.

[Anton Chigurh 3319]

Damn. RIP, VP.

[Buzzrock 14926]

Damn man, just got the crushing news. His drumming was just so damn punchy and groovy. I remember sitting in my buddy’s car after he spent too much on an after market stereo and just blasting CFH. Never did seem him live.

RIP Vin, I’m sure you’re jamming with Dime now. Wake up heaven!

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Bummer. RIP.

[G650 14270]

God fucking dammit

 

[Buzzrock 14926]

This nice old lady paid tribute

[Buzzrock 14926]

Please don’t be suicide

[Dark Horse 2284]

Fuck, R.I.P. Vinnie.

Coke is for color.

Vaya Con Dios!

[Eastwood 4394]

The Cowboys from Hell are now both in heaven. RIP

[deft 6857]

Damn. Are black toothed grins inappropriate for breakfast?

[tbone_ 14132]

I make mine with coffee.

[Longhorn_Fan68 33878]

Has cause of death been released? He was damn young

[Buzzrock 14926]

Has cause of death been released? He was damn young

8 years younger than me. Just awful.

[tbone_ 14132]

8 years younger than me. Just awful.

You’re 62?

[Dennis Taylor 18840]

Fuck this news...met Vinnie (and all the band members) in 94 at The Back Room after their warm-up show for the Far Beyond Driven tour under the clever alias Cowboys From Hell. Very fucking cool guy. Dime was an awesome guy too...phil- not so much...

Several years later, I'm at some Mexican place in Dallas waiting on the patio and this beat up retro limo complete with bull horns mounted on the hood pulls up and out comes Vinnie and the guys from HellYeah....I said hey to Vinnie and mentioned the CFH show and he gets a huge grin and said " now THAT was a crazy fucking show!" ...and he was right. Pantera was on top of the world at that moment. Still the most intense and violent crowd I've been in

RIP Vinnie. Will have to blast Vulgar today in your honor

[BoomMF 1399]

You’re 62?

 

Second piece of shocking news in this thread.

Yep. This sucks.

I hope Alex Van Halen doesn't try to stuff a set of drums in his casket.

[Buzzrock 14926]

No, I’m an idiot

[Buzzrock 14926]

I hope he does

[BigDHornfan 6549]

Died in his sleep at home.

[deft 6857]

Well it went peacefully as we should all hope for. I’ve loved you and your brothers music. Sleep well brother and keep kicking ass.

[Buzzrock 14926]

Drinking whiskey and listening to the boys. So much good stuff. Rise is a favorite with some wicked drumming.

[Buzzrock 14926]

Becoming. Holy shit. Sounds like a big block V8 with a cam in it.

[Buzzrock 14926]

This is great

[Buzzrock 14926]

This is so good

[Buzzrock 14926]

[jimmyjazz 45992]

I'm not particularly a fan of metal, but it's kinda hard to be any kind of a music consumer in Texas and not appreciate Pantera.  Sorry to hear this.  Anybody have a link to the song they wrote for the Stars?

[Lurch 5931]

[Lurch 5931]

This is among my favorite all time favorite tv moments

[ousux 5600]

RIP Vinnie, by all accounts you were one of the good guys in a genre filled with egotistical assholes. Too soon, but say hey to time for me.

Well, that's just all kinds of awesome.  I can totally imagine that at a hockey game.  Must have been hilarious to see a cross section of country, metal, rap, olds, etc. losing it to Pantera on every goal.  

Kudos to Vinnie & DImebag.

[tbone_ 14132]

Oh yea watching the stars skate out to that was bad ass.

Buddy of mine had a good ticket hookup. Went to a bunch of games in that era.

[Vic Mackey 47089]

I'm reading it was a major heart attack. 

[PilotsError 2310]

First part of Burr's podcast from Monday is him talking Vinnie and telling some stories.

 

 

[mr. sunshine 2827]

I see the public memorial will be at the Bomb Factory on Sunday, July 1. That’s ten hours round trip and a pissed off wife for me so I’d like to give someone my surly proxy. Nonetheless I’ll pour one out at 3:33.

RIP Vinnie

If you're interested, there is a guy that breaks down songs by track and vocals and he breaks down I'm Broken in honor of Vinnie Paul. You can hear it by searching klos sessions on soundcloud. I'm no musician but love music and he does a pretty great job breaking down and explaining it to the layperson.
