this is a tribute to the greatset metal guitarst in the world, Lance Abbott "Dimebag" Darrell
A 25-year-old man stormed the stage at a heavy-metal rock concert Wednesday night, shooting and killing Pantera founder and Damageplan guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and three others before a police officer shot and killed him.
R.I.P.---------------------story from guitar world Mar 2005--One day in Dimebag's home territory, of Texas, he was signing autographs in a local music shop, a young kid, no older than 14 came up to him with his dad and told him “thank you Dimebag, you have been all the inspiration to me to play guitar.†Dimebag replied with “I'm glad to hear that, what type of axe you have?†he asked. By the way, this was in the middle of summer, a June day. The boy replied†well, I don’t have one yet, my dad here is saving to buy me one for Christmas this year.†Christmas was in 6 months from that point. He signed the autograph and asked the boy to stay with him for a while. At the end of the day when the store was closing, Dimebag went and picked a guitar out for the boy and bought it for him that day, and his last words to the kid were “whatever you do, don’t give upâ€~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
that man had a heart of gold, what a good man~~~
Rest In Peace my good friend
