"Dimebag" Darrell Abbott |
|
"Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was an American singer, musician,
and lead guitarist for the heavy metal bands Pantera and
Damageplan. The thrash rock pioneer and two-time Grammy
nominee was best known for I'm Broken, Revolution Is My Name,
Mouth For War, Power Metal, New Found Power,
Reinventing The Steel, The Great Southern Trendkill,
Cowboys From Hell and Far Beyond Driven. Pantera
had been one of the most popular heavy metal bands of the
early 1990s. Darrell and his brother, drummer Vinnie Paul
Abbott, founded Damageplan after Pantera's acrimonious
breakup.
The virtuoso guitarist was shot and killed on stage
during a 2004 concert. The gunman, Nathan Gale, was
shot and killed by police officer James Niggemeyer who
confronted Gale after he took a hostage at gunpoint,
immediately following the shootings. Many of those
present at the nightclub praised the officer and
credited him with saving lives.
