He just looked determined. Cautela, who was tending bar, thought firecrackers had gone off. Others figured the speakers had popped or somebody had fired a cap gun. A security guard tackled Gale, who continued to shoot into the crowd. One bullet grazed the arm of a Volume Dealer roadie, Travis Burnett, a burly former soldier who dropped his beer and ran toward the stage to try and disarm the shooter.
Darrell Abbott lay on the stage, bleeding from his head. While most fans fled, one concertgoer, Mindy Reece, a registered nurse from Columbus, rushed forward. From the backstage area, Officer James Niggemeyer appeared, carrying a twelve-gauge Remington shotgun.
He walked past a stack of amplifiers and saw Gale, who had taken a male hostage. From twenty feet away, Niggemeyer fired once, killing Gale. Nathan Gale, according to people in Marysville, was troubled, but not prone to violence. He enlisted in the Marines in but left the Corps, for as yet unknown reasons, eighteen months later. He worked on construction sites; in an oil-change shop, Minit Lube; and as a landscaper.
Gale also played offensive guard for Lima Thunder, a local semipro football team. On the team bus, Gale could often be found with his headphones on, listening to Pantera. She had an incredible work ethic, which Darrell picked up from her.
He was so much like his mom in so many ways, while [Dimebag's older brother] Vinnie [Paul] really took after their dad. Pantera started out playing more mainstream "hair metal," then switched to a heavier direction around the time Phil Anselmo joined the band. Do you remember what motivated that change? Metallica had a lot to do with it. There were maybe 30 people there and I was one of maybe three females.
Their dad was their manager at the time, and he really wanted them to play safe -- play music that was commercial -- and Vinnie felt the same way. But when Philip joined the band, Darrell really had an ally for taking the band in a harder and more personal direction. And when ['s] Cowboys [From Hell] came out, that was really all them. Anselmo gave it to him. He'd moved to Texas from New Orleans when he joined the band, totally committed, and he didn't really know anybody at first.
He was always calling up Darrell to ask if he had any weed, or knew anyone who could get him some. One night, Darrell and Philip were getting stoned and Philip just started calling him "Dimebag" and it stuck! What was the story of Eddie Van Halen bringing the guitar to Dimebag's funeral? I remember talking with Vinnie, trying to decide what guitar to bury him with.
Three hours later, Eddie called to see if he could do anything for us and for Dime. So I asked him if he'd stripe up a guitar for Darrell. He said, "One of the red, white and black ones? When he came for the funeral, he brought his original yellow and black from He said, "An original should have an original.
We were walking down the hallway of the funeral parlor, me, Eddie and John "Bushman," who had been out with Damageplan as a tech -- he's the one who dragged Vinnie off the drum stand and threw himself on top of him to protect him. We got to the room where Dime was, and you could see [Abbott's] feet through the doorway.
