Not sure how many of you here are Heavy Metal fans, but for those of you who are, Im sure you're familiar with guitarist 'Dimebag' Darrell Abbott. He was former guitarist of Pantera, and was currently in a band called Damage Plan! I've been a fan of Pantera since I was 15, and I was fortunate enough to have seen him in concert the last time he played with Pantera here in California. He was among the best guitarists in the world, and was one hell of a guy! How someone could just go up and shoot him at point blank range is beyond my wildest imagination! He will be missed!

"With all his greatness and accomplishments on the guitar, Dime will be missed more for his giving personality, charisma, caring for others, love and most of all his HEART!! Twice as big as the state of TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!! Dime gave it all every day to each and every one of us and our lives have forever been hollowed without him...Thanks to all of you for reaching out to us in this time of our immeasurable loss. REST IN PEACE BROTHER DIME!!!!!!"
