Gunman Kills 4 at Ohio Heavy Metal Show

COLUMBUS, Ohio - A gunman charged onstage at a nightclub and opened fire on the band and crowd, killing top heavy metal guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and three other people before a police officer shot him to death, authorities said.

The gunman had a hostage in a headlock and appeared to be preparing to kill him when the officer hit him in the face with a rifle, a witness and police spokesman Sgt. Brent Mull said. The hostage escaped uninjured, Mull said.
Two other people were hospitalized. Police said one was in intensive care and the other was stable.
Police identified the gunman as Nathan Gale, 25, of Marysville, 25 miles northwest of Columbus. Police said they had no information on a motive or any connection to Abbott or his band, the Texas-based group Damageplan.
Damageplan had just begun its first song at Alrosa Villa club Wednesday night when the gunman climbed onstage, started yelling and shot Abbott five or six times at point-blank range, witness Chris Couch said.
Mull said the gunman's exact statement was unclear because of the loud music. He said some witnesses reported hearing an accusation about Abbott breaking up his former band, thrash-rock pioneer Pantera, but police could not confirm whether the speaker was the gunman or a fan.
Police believe there were earlier threats against the band, Mull said. He declined to give specifics.
Witnesses said the man, who was wearing a Columbus Blue Jackets hockey jersey over a hooded sweat shirt, jumped an 8-foot wooden fence and was being followed through the crowd by club security.
After firing on the guitarist, the gunman shot a bouncer who had pulled him off the musician, while fans surged toward the exit, said Couch, 22. The gunman then fired into the crowd of more than 250 people, Mull said.
Mull said Officer James D. Niggemeyer, patrolling nearby, arrived within two minutes of hearing the call. Niggemeyer, 31, saw one person lying dead and the suspect holding onto another "pretty much in a headlock," Mull said.
He said the hostage, "probably a fan, maybe someone who worked with the band," was able to maneuver out of the way before the officer fired.
Mull praised Niggemeyer's response.
"If the officer wasn't as close as he was, I think this would have been a lot worse," he said. "It was a chaotic scene, just a horrific scene."
Besides Abbott and Gale, police identified the dead as Nathan Bray, 23; Erin Halk, 29, and Jeff Thompson, 40.
Bray's family said the suburban Grove City man was a Damageplan fan. Halk worked for the club loading band equipment, said the club's lighting designer, Brian Kozicki. Thompson's last known address was in Texas, police said.
Couch said he believed the shooter had a plan. "It was definitely a grudge. It was against something," he said.
Mull said he believed there was amateur video that officers could view for clues but that police had no answers yet. "We may never know a motive for this, unless he left a note," Mull said.
Gale has a minor police record in Marysville, said Police Chief Floyd Golden. He was pulled over for driving with a suspended license last month.
The tall, physically imposing Gale hung out at Bears Den Tattoo Studio, staring at people and trying to get them to talk about music and bands, manager Lucas Bender said.
"He's not wanted," Bender said. "The most pointless conversations."
Thursday morning, a dozen yellow roses, still in plastic wrap, lay near the entry to the low-slung beige building that since 1974 has hosted mostly heavy metal acts with occasional hip-hop and rap shows. The 641-person-capacity club, just off a freeway exit on the city's north side, sits amid motels, small businesses and office complexes.
Dozens of messages were posted to the band's Web site after the shootings.
"This is the worst day in metal history," one posting read.
"The metal world feels your pain," another wrote.
Damageplan's debut album, "New Found Power," which was released in February by Elektra, was produced by Abbott and his brother, drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott. Other band members are vocalist Patrick Lachman and bassist Bob Zilla.
Earlier, the brothers had been members of the Grammy-nominated Pantera, whose popularity soared in the early 1990s with a fast, aggressive sound.
"Damageplan carries on the tradition Pantera started, the ... hell-raising tradition we were all about," Vinnie Paul Abbott told The Dallas Morning News in October.
"It took awhile for some of the Pantera fans to accept it; we knew that was gonna be the case," he said. "Change is something that people have a hard time accepting. But me and Dime intended on doing this our whole lives."
The shootings came exactly 24 years after John Lennon was shot to death outside his New York apartment building by a deranged fan

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

If I listened to Y100 more often, I'm sure I'd hear some OLP... I know they're one of the dj's favorite bands.

yeah on 89X i haven't heard a gravity song since the album came out, i think the only one i hear now is strictly Sell My Soul (which is odd) anyway, they only play old stuff. they play starseed, superman, clumsy, thief, in repair, life, and some others. i mean ... it is a windsor/detroit station but that's pretty cool.

I know there were some Glassjaw fans here sooo ....
"In disappointing, yet not unsurprising news, it appears that GlassJaw have split up.
After intense speculation about trouble in the GJ camp things, it came to light last month that the band were playing a show on Boxing Day. But someone forgot to tell three of the members and decided to hire musicians instead. Todd Weinstock issued a statment about his departure but there has been little word from anywhere else. The aforesaid 'rent-a-show' has now been cancelled according to the band's official website. The time spent not telling band members they were 'sacked' has obviously been spent productively on redesigning the website. Althought there is no official word on the breakup, the 'RIP GlassJAw' on the website header and montage of dead musicians bearing the logo 'it wasn't their time' seems to be pretty conclusive."
I never was into them, but maybe this will leave more time for Head Automatica, which is a plus, but then maybe they will break up too, who knows.
