He thought Dimebag was the reason Pantera Broke up.
Another View: Several theories, including the above were advanced, including the fact that the shooter believed that the band was stealing his songs, but other documents lean towards the shooters Paranoid Schizophrenia as the cause.

Update: How can he think Dimebag was responsible for Pantera breaking up when he shot Darrell while performing on stage with Pantera who obviously had not broken up, else they wouldn't have been playing at the time he was shot.(yes I have seen the video of Dimebag being shot). Facts please not Fiction.

because he was a crazed fan who thought that dimebag darrel could read his mind.
also, gale was crazy and violent and thought pantera was stealing "gales" lyrics. plus he was a queer
Answer:
Gale had a long history of mental illness, exacerbated by drug use, which he repeatedly refused treatment for. His own mother tried to get him help and was afraid of his potential for violence and self harm. Untreated mental illness led to his paranoid delusions and unfounded accusations/hostility towards people. But unless and until Gale was criminally violent towards someone, he could not be arrested, nor could he be forced to undergo a mental examination.
Gale did make claims that Pantera stole his lyrics, but the only person who could tell you precisely why he decided to kill people that night is dead, along with his victims.
On December 8th, 2004, Darrell Lance "Dimebag" Abbott was shot by man named Nathan Gale at a Damageplan show in Columbus, Ohio. Due to a mental illness called Schizophrenia, Gale was convinced that the band Pantera had been stealing thoughts and songs from his head. Gale was also certain that Pantera would throw parties and laugh at him, because of their unfair success. After Pantera broke up, the Abbott brothers (Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darrell) formed a band by the name of Damageplan, and played a show near Nathan Gale's home in Ohio. Gale thought of this as a perfect way to get revenge for what Pantera had done. He brought a handgun to the concert, snuck in through the backstage, and killed Dimebag Darrell, along with four other innocent bystanders. Several concertgoers were injured, as well, before police shot and killed him.
Dimebag Darrell was born on August 20, 1966.
