"Dimebag" Darrell Abbot May He Rest In Peace

I’ve returned to work which means this spot will up updated much more frequently then what is was during my time off. I’ll be posting a blog tomorrow updating everyone on my time off missions and the other various missions I posted here last month. Today though sadly marks the four year anniversary of the murder of “Dimebag” Darrell Abbot during a concert in Columbus Ohio. He was shot to death while on stage by a clearly deranged individual. Dime, his brother Vinnie Paul, Rex Brown, and the Godly Phil Anselmo brought forth some of the greatest music ever recorded.

Pantera is without a doubt one of the best bands that ever existed and one of the main reasons this is so is because Dimebag was one of the best guitarist to ever wield the instrument. Listen to a Pantera track, any off them, his ability to both make a deep chunky riff that rattles the teeth and then switch to a high pitched flowing solo is something only to him. He’s fluid, it sounds like liquid metal when listening to him play music. The best basketball analogy I can give you is he’s like Scottie Pippen. He is fluid and graceful, but can chunk out some of the grittiest riffage known to man.

I just wanted to make note that on this day four years ago we lost a legend and that today is as good as any other to blast some Pantera.

I miss you Dime
