On this day a year ago, Damageplan/Ex-Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott was murdered. At a club in Ohio, in the middle of a performance, Nathan Gale jumped onstage and emptied six handgun rounds at Dime, and two at his brother, Vinnie Paul. He then killed a fan and two bodyguards before being gunned down by police. Darrell was pronounced dead at the scene. Dime was a great guitarist and person, and I'm upset that I never got into metal soon enough to see him in person. May he rest in peace and bring metal insanity to Heaven. I really hope no one posted this already...
I can't believe its a year since it happened...that was a real shocker though, when Dimebag got shot. And I didn't even realize it was the same day as John Lennon's murder. Well, RIP to both.
