I am at a loss of words for this tragedy that took place last night in Ohio. On December 8, 2004, Metal God Dimebag Darrell (Pantera, Damageplan) was pronounced dead on the scene after being shot during his performance with Damageplan. Darrell was killed along with 2 others and a few more injured. Dimebag Darrell (Darrell Abbott) will surely be missed by friends, family, and everyone in the metal community. This is a truly sad day. Words cannot express the pain I feel for Darrell and his brother Vinnie Paul (who survived uninjured only to watch his own brother die) as well as the rest of the Abbott family. There is no release for the hatred I feel towards Nathan Gale (Dimebag's murderer). One thing I know is for sure... PANTERA being one of my favorite bands and biggest inspirations of all time will always be a part of me. My next bottle of Jaegermeister is for the memory of Dimebag F*cking Darrell, one of the best guitar players in the world and METAL GOD for all eternity.


Rest In Peace brother.
