Entry: DIMEBAG DARRELL - LEST WE FORGET. Friday, December 10



DIMEBAG DARRELL ABBOTT (1966-2004)



  Texas. Wasn't exactly the first place people usually thought of when talking about Metal, but that is exactly where this Cowboy from Hell was raised. Born on August 20 in 1966 in Dallas, Dimebag and his Brother—Vinnie Paul—were brought up by country song writer Jerry Abbott, who owned his own recording studio. Although growing up with the country music, it appeared to have little effect on the music Dimebag played and wrote. 

 

 

A founder of Pantera, now a Damageplan member--Dimbag Darrell Abbott--was shot dead at a concert in Ohio on Wednesday. A deranged psychopath walked on to the stage and fired 5 or 6 shots at the legendary Dimebag Darrell, then shot 3 others, to later be shot himself by a police officer.

  


 

This is not goodbye, this is see you later. RIP Dimebag.

Dimebag influenced me so much with his incredble music. he was and always will be a total legend to me and every true metal fan. he was an incredible guitar player, and her played some of the finest metal i have ever heard. it so sad that a stupid fuck with a gun ended that but his music will live on as the standard for all guitarists to aspire to. i miss ya Dime!!! RIP
