YOU ARE SOOOOO FUCKING MISSED DIMEBAG!
Dimebag Darrel born Darrell Lance Abbot on August the 20th 1966 in Dallas Texas is the son of Country Western songwriter Jerry Abbot . So from a young age Dime has been exposed to music and the instruments used to create it . it was because of this early introduction that he picked up the guitar at a young age . He took lessons from some country legends and he picked it up pretty easy and soon he was being hailed as a virtuoso at an early age . By the time Darrell was sixteen years old he had already won all of the local talent competitions and band contests and was eventually no longer allowed to enter . Dime spent many years playing in various clubs and bars around his hometown of Dallas before getting any national recognition but nowadays it's safe to say that he is known as a guitar idol to many . His fast legato runs and crazy ass bends have given his his own sound .
The band of course that Dime is most famous for is Pantera the heavy metal quartet featuring Dime on guitars .
Pantera's sound was found when they released the album Cowboys From Hell in 1990 . An amazing album featuring some of Dime's best work including Cowboys From Hell, Cemetery Gates, Art Of Shredding and Heresy. Crushing riffs , Blistering solos and Phil Anselmo's growling voice it was this combination that made the people stand up and take notice . Vulgar Display their most hailed album (although i prefer Cowboys) continued the sound and took it in a somewhat less melodic path . When Far Beyond Driven came and went to number 1 on the billboard charts it was set in stone that Pantera were something special. Thursday, December 9, 2004, Dimebag Darrell Abbott, guitarist for Damageplan and Pantera, was killed during a shooting spree at a Columbus, Ohio, nightclub Wednesday night. He was 38. Rest in Peace Dimebag! We love you! Pantera - This Love

I'm an easy goin' ~ keep it real woman...independent...unique, but then I still seem to fit in and get along with just about anyone. I can't stand a liar or a cheat, I'm honest, trustworthy and faithful and I expect the same from others. I am a "giver", one of my problems in life is that I give so much to others that I forget about myself. I have three kids, all grown up and four grandchildren, the kids call me "G-Ma" cause they say I'm "too cool to be Grandma", but my oldest grandson has named me "Ma-Moo"! Awesome! I got on myspace cause my Sis told me about it, once I joined and started my profile, well I was addicted. I've met some super cool people on here and made some really good friends. Right now I'm enjoying being single and concentrating on ME for a change. It's time for "T" to be happy instead of trying so hard to make everyone else happy. Not really looking for a relationship. Although, I DO hope that "One day" that ONE special person will come along, but until then? I'm happy just the way things are....Peace!
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING 'BOUT! MY KIDS AND GRANDCHILDREN...EVERYTHING TO ME!
