DAMAGEPLAN GUITARIST KILLED ONSTAGE

DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "DIMEBAG" DARRELL ABBOTT was shot dead at a Columbus, Ohio, nightclub last night. Soon after the band began performing at the Alrosa Villa, a gunman charged the stage and began firing at the band and the crowd. Three other people were killed before a police officer fatally shot the gunman. Abbott, 38, was formerly a member of Texas metal giants PANTERA. - Rolling Stone




I've never been a huge Pantera fan, but I always liked a couple of their tracks. Dimebag Darrell was a pretty big name in music when I first reached the age to start really caring about it.
