| Dimebag
Shrine |
BW&BK reports: For heavy metal fans, the
violent death of PANTERA and DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott
in December 2004, ranks among rock's greatest communal losses: BUDDY HOLLY,
JOHN LENNON and KURT COBAIN.
But if "Dimebag's" murder at a Columbus,
Ohio concert marks the day the metal music died, his rowdy spirit lives
on as was evident at Hard Rock Cafe on Wednesday.
Abbott's live-in girlfriend, Rita Haney,
and his brother and band mate, drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott, were on hand
to unveil an electric guitar belonging to the murdered guitarist, among
new memorabilia items installed at the restaurant. [see full story for
