Tribute to Dimebag Darrel

This is a tribute to our great fallen rocker, Dimebag Darrel. He was not only a great guitatest, but he was also a great person. Dimebag was murdered in Ohio while playing at a club with his new band "Damage Plan" His brother Vinny Paul was the drummer. A crazed Pantera fan jumped on stage and said somthing to Dimebag and shot him repeatedly. Vinny Paul wached his brother die. We lost a great person in the rock 'n roll world. Dimebag Darrel will forever be missed. I was watching the special edition headbangers ball "Tribute to Dimebag Darrel" this weekend and about cryed the whole time, but I thought "Why not hold a contest to honor the great rocker?" So behold, I give you the tribute to Dimebag Darrel!

Dimebag Darrel Abbott
1966 - 2004


Here's what I want:

Full Homage to Dime...
It can be about his insperation, music, personallity, or anything else that has to do with Dime.

It can be when he was in Pantera or in Damage plan...
But lets just remember this great rocker!


"Dime, you are forever missed on this earth!"

      i'm not sure if you've been to alrosa or even live in the columbus, ohio area... but it's an extremely small venue, and they don't have a lot of money so they can't exactly just go get a metal detector. also, the guy who killed dimebag dodged security by jumping the big wooden privacy fence around the smoking patio and coming in through that way.

    Great Idea.

    I was a big fan of the side project and pantera, pantera would have played again they were both just doing something on the side-- The kid was stupid. Now it is too late.--Robert
