It's crazy to think that eight years have passed since the tragic shooting of "Dimebag" Darrell Abbot, shot by a psycho fan and taken away from us far too soon. Dime left quite the legacy of shred, including some absolutely amazing work with Pantera as well as the beginning stages of his new project, Damage Plan.
Every year on December 8th, the metal community stops for a moment and remembers a legend. I never met Dime personally, but I have met and spoke with plenty who have, and the consensus is he was the nicest person ever, always had a smile, and a black tooth grin ready to go. So raise your black tooth up to the pink beard in the sky, and salute one of the greatest shredders of our time.
