272 The Murder of Dimebag Darrell & The Bjork Suicide Bomber Ricardo Lopez: When Obsessed Fans Go Too Far

This week we got a two-for! We combined two stories (that were actual topics on our list) that were too short to be a stand alone episode and decided to start a new series of episodes we'll be covering in the future. OBESSED/STALKER FANS....no we're not talking about Jesus Gutierrez.. but we're going to cover two celebrities who had very dangerous run ins with a deranged fan. First up, Jacob tells us of the murder of Pantera/Damage Plan guitarist, Dimebag Darrell Abbott. Obsessed fan, Nathan Gale , murdered Dime on the 24th anniversary of John Lennon. Some speculate it was over the recent break up of Metal Supergroup Pantera and former lead singer Phil Anselmo's comments to Metal Hammer Magazine where he stated "Dimbebag deserves to be beaten severely".  Then Art Tells the tale of Ricardo Lopez. A young man who had become obessed with Icelandic rock start Bjork. Ricardo would build a fantasy in his head that he and Bjork were in some kind of relationship and would fly off the handle when he realized this was not true and Bjork was actually dating a black man (what a racist!). Because of this he decided to concoct an elaborate plan to send Bjork a bomb that would melt her face off and as the clock struck 12 on 9/11 (no not that 9/11) he would blow his own head off while listening to her music and wearing Darth Maul face paint for some reason...
