4 or 5 people died, including a body guard and the manager of the band from what I've heard. I'm not trying to turn a tragedy into a political thing, but I'm glad the police officer was equipped to handle this situation.. if only he could have gotten there sooner. I'm only mentioning this because police officers here are not allowed to carry weapons. Anyway, enough of me ranting.
I think I'm too young to have appreciated the works of Pantera. I only remember their name from when I went to primary school. A friend of mine was a huge fan of theirs and Metallica, a band I would not fall in love with for another 10 years.
Still, even with no particular attachment to the band or the poor fellow who was killed, I still mourned his loss as I read an article about it this morning. I kept thinking "What if it had been John Petrucci or Jordan Rudess?" (members of my favourite band: Dream Theater) Just typing these words makes me choke up. I would have *freaked* had I lost one of my favourite musicians. I am freaking, just thinking about it. I can't imagine what fans of Pantera must be going through.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
