Well, since we have the John Lennon thread, why not have a thread for Dimebag Darrell Abbott from Pantera and DamagePlan.
I love those two songs!
So yeah, I was prolly sitting at home getting ready for school the next day.
Abbott was murdered while performing on December 8, 2004 at a Damageplan concert at the Alrosa Villa nightclub in Columbus, Ohio. Nathan Gale, 25, of Marysville, entered the nightclub at about 10pm, just after the performance began, after scaling an eight-foot fence and being chased into the building by club security. He entered the left side of the stage and proceeded across to the right where Dimebag was standing. Gale then grabbed Dimebag and shot him twice in the head with a Beretta pistol at point blank range. Dimebag received a total of five to eight gunshot wounds.
The song "In This River", from the Black Label Society album Mafia was written before Dime's death and later tributed in loving memory to Dimebag by a very close personal friend Zakk Wylde.
Also featured on the newest Nickelback album, All the Right Reasons, is a song titled "Side of a Bullet" which features lyrics dedicated to Dimebag and an outtaked guitar solo from the Far Beyond Driven era.
