Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul - They were the backbone of Pantera and I won’t be told otherwise. We’re nearing 20 years since we’ve lost Dimebag and 5 years since we’ve lost Vinnie Paul.

    People in my life. Couldn’t care less about celebrities and people I have no relationship with.

    If your life is bothered this much by celebrity deaths you may need to reevaluate your mental health.

      That’s needlessly harsh imo. There’s celebrities or big names at least that people grew up with, who may have contributed to core childhood memories or served as a role model for them. To see someone like that pass away can be a jarring moment for many, as their deaths can feel like a part of your youth/childhood dying along with it.

      And that’s just the examples that come to mind. I’m sure there’s more. There’s no need to question people’s mental health for feeling sentimental. It just contributes to a society where people’s emotions are twisted and repressed.
