I don’t remember Darrell Abbott much as I wasn’t a Pantera fan, but I do remember dimebags. Ahh, sweet, sweet dimebags when you can get a nice bag of weed for only $10. Those were the days.

No offense to john lennon or his millons of fans worldwide, but my main genre is hardcore, metal, crossover, you know all of our liking….So I feel like I lost someone who had a influence in my life of music, life does go on ,but all of our lives changed in our musical realm when that piece of shit took dimes life, and although we all suffered the loss, no one more than rita, vinnie, and the rest of his family…..god bless the abbott family for giving us their son, brother to us for a little while, shot of CROWN AND COKE/ R.I.P. DIME…..THE BEST AXEMAN OF OUR METAL GENRE EVER, ASK THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER ALIVE EDDIE VAN HALEN ……(hendrix being #1of course but deceased) 98

Well, I for one remember Darrell Abbott from the early days and I still remember him today, Monday was a day full of emotion, remembering Dimebag for all that he gave us, remembering the times he made us smile, remembering the bone chilling riffs, remembering how he loved his friends, family and fans! Lets Keep him forever in our hearts, by doing this we WILL keep his memory ALIVE! R.I.P. Brother Darrell, you will NEVER be forgotten!

I woke up this morning with my mind on Dimebag. My eyes still fill with tears sometimes and it blows my mind. I’ve lost close family members and this doesn’t happen when I think of them. I would give all I own just to see one more show. Dimebag … you are the man!
