Two items of note about the death of Dimebag Darrell (and Thanks, Minister Geeklethal, for that copy of Pantera's greatest you sent. They were hard as f***, yea verily.)

• There is a crazed fan aspect to Darrell's death that remains unexplored Although it likely means nothing at all, just the week before the shooting former Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo told a British metal magazine, "He deserves to be beaten severely." More to the point, a longstanding and bitter feud between the former bandmates is a not-implausible contributing factor to the tragedy. Some fans really take that "fanatic" thing to heart.
• At the request of his family, Dimebag Darrell Abbot will be buried in a Kiss Kasket, donated by Gene Simmons. Check that shit out! I want one! The price is right for a casket, and as the website helpfully points out, " 'KISS® Kasket' can also be used as a Giant KISS® Cooler, enabling fans and their friends to enjoy ice-cold sodas and beer served directly from the ice-filled, completely waterproof "KISS® Kasket.'
