Darrell Lance Abbott, aka "Diamond Darrell", "Dimebag Darrell", or simply "Dime" (August 20, 1966 – December 8, 2004) was an American guitarist. Best known as a founding member of the heavy metal bands Pantera and Damageplan, he also performed in the country music band Rebel Meets Rebel.

Abbott frequently appeared in guitar magazines and in readers' polls, and wrote a long-running Guitar World magazine column, which was compiled into the book, Riffer Madness. He was praised for his tone and was included in "The 50 Greatest Tones of All Time" by Guitar Player magazine. Remembered for his amiable nature and rapport with fans, Abbott was described by Allmusic as "one of the most influential stylists in modern metal."

On December 8, 2004, Abbott was shot and killed onstage during a Damageplan performance at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio.

Hope they got an open bar for you in Hell, brother.

It probably wasn't open..... then Dime jumped the bar and gave it all away for free

Probably the only band in history where you'd get kicked out for NOT having a drinking problem

No, I get loaded and listen to Pantera on the 8th December every year to mourn his loss. In fact I do it pretty much every day of every year.
