	COMMENT \| HAHAHHA posted by : Hotler 11/12/2009 8:39:21 PM

	Why doesn't anyone call him DIAMOND Darrell anymore? I mean, that was his name for yearrrrrrrs before they decided to change their image from spandex and teazed up slut hair to try to be thrash tuffguy metal. 'DIAMOND DARRELL' lmao that still cracks me up........a gay freakin' name for a medicore player.

	COMMENT \| posted by : ManImSore 11/12/2009 8:47:29 PM

	Far out Riot666, Dimebags dead. You cant suck his cock now buddy, unless you have a shovel handy. P.S Brett Michaels is still alive. P.P.S Apparently Tommy Lee has a big one too. Pamela can tell you about them both.

	COMMENT \| gimmie a break posted by : bloodyskull22 11/13/2009 12:02:58 AM

	This is Dimebag Darrel not Jimi Hendrix. No disrespect to his family but if he were still alive would we be talking about his legendary riffs? 22

	COMMENT \| part 2 posted by : bloodyskull22 11/13/2009 12:04:07 AM

	He used to go by Diamond Darrel before he discovered the bud. 22

	COMMENT \| Fuck Hendrix posted by : metalfukinhead 11/13/2009 12:37:02 AM

	Jimi was garbage. Couldn't sing, and was a boring hack of a guitarist. At least Dimebag was an interesting hack at times.

	COMMENT \| WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE NICKNAME.... posted by : MARS 11/13/2009 12:49:03 AM

	YOU CALLED HAVE CALLED HIM FRANKIE FLOWERS FOR ALL I CARE. IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT DARRELL WAS A BADASS GUITAR PLAYER AND A GOOD DUDE. AND UH, YEAH WHEN HE WAS ALIVE, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HIS LEGENDARY RIFFS. SORRY YOU MISSED THE BOAT BROTHER. NEXT TO IOMMI AND EDDIE I CAN'T THINK OF A GUITARIST WHO CAME UP WITH SO MANY BADASS RIFFS. THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN HEAVY METAL BUT THEY WERE BADASS RIFFS NONETHELESS. JIMI AND DARRELL WERE BOTH GREAT SO TO COMPARE THE TWO IS NONSENSE. THEY BOTH MADE THEIR MARKS...

	COMMENT \| Hotler posted by : Neil Young's Cocaine Booger 11/13/2009 1:22:42 AM

	The funny thing is Hitler was a homosexual and seeing as there is a similarity between his name and yours....guess the old fruit doesn't fall far from the tree?????

	COMMENT \| Let's be honest... posted by : BattleMagic 11/13/2009 3:35:27 AM

	How much "crime" is there going to be in Finland? This just sounds like a lame excuse for some boring Finn nerds using Dimebag's name to publicise their crappy gig. and Jimi Hendrix "was a boring hack of a guitarist"? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

	COMMENT \| and umm posted by : BattleMagic 11/13/2009 3:37:14 AM

	" The funny thing is Hitler was a homosexual" ... the funny think about that being it's an apocryphal piece of propaganda. Hitler was not gay; those 'retro-active psych studies' you're referring to found that he was a coprophiliac though... What a filthy Hun weasel.

	I don't know....I read that his fascination with a population of 'blond haired, blue eyed males' was a suppressed sexual fetish and that he only married Eva Braun(sp?) to cover his homosexuality, hench why he married her shortly before the murder/suicide and never produced any children of his own. Eva Braun , his "mistress" even wrote that Hitler believed "physical contact with me would be to him a contamination of the mission." Plus Hitler's Youth Leader was bi-sexual and a pedophile, and his private attorney, Minister of Justice, and Minister of Economics were all homosexuals.

	"No disrespect to his family but if he were still alive would we be talking about his legendary riffs?" You mean those two or three-note pieces of shit that a toddler could've played?
