    also..

    A brand-new photo of "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott's final resting place at the Moore Memorial Gardens cemetery in Arlington, Texas has been posted online at RideForDime.com. Dimebag was buried next to his mother, Carolyn Abbott, who passed away in 1999.

    As previously reported, KISS donated a "Kiss Kasket" to Dimebag's family for the guitarist to be buried in. The coffin features the faces of the four founding members of KISS, the KISS logo and the words "Kiss Forever".

    Darrell was a huge KISS fan and even had a tattoo of original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley on his chest. In addition, Darrell had Frehley autograph it and had that tattooed to his body as well.

    KISS bassist Gene Simmons announced he was giving the family the coffin during an appearance on Fox News' "The Big Story Weekend Edition with Rita Cosby" a couple of days after Dimebag's death. Simmons told Cosby, "Well, I wasn't really prepared to talk about it, but the family requested, as a personal issue between the family and the grieving people who are going to be there, to send a Kiss Kasket. We initially did it as a promotion. And you know, I think it meant a lot to Darrell when, you know — when he was alive, he gave lots of people great joy. I mean he had the band tattooed onto his chest. He was a major figure in rock and roll. He's going to be greatly missed. And the family wish — you know the one last wish they had was that he be buried in a Kiss Kasket. And I think it's a private matter for the family and the fans actually."

    ive started a bit of a tradition for marking this day, after dime was killed last year i played "floods"of t.g.s.t.k and i have just played it again today and just sat in quiet contemplation marvelling at the great way dime had of expressing himself through the guitar.

    i know dime is gone but for some reason the riff that he plays at the end of the song gives me some hope and makes me smile and remember him. RIP Dime.

    :(

    GRRR! This just makes me SO sick and SO angry all at once. It's still hard to believe and will never make sense...much like the legend Lennon indeed.


    {{RIP DIMEBAG}}


    What fierce talent! Thanks for all you gave. The man has seriously rocked many lives and will continue to do so for years to come. Such a bad ass and at the same time just seemed like SUCH a cool man.

    I'll definitely be mixing it up between Lennon and Pantera today. Quite the mix. ;)

    Your greatness forever lives on DIMEBAG. Gone but never forgotten.

    Dimebag is not dead he will never die, first and foremost 'cause he's music will live forever, he is still living in the hearts and ears of millions of fans and allways will and evry time i play guitar i feel like he's right there instructing me and i bet a lot of kids feel the same way too like he is our teacher! what a dude, so down to earth, so friendly and cool with people, he shared so much of himself with the fans and allways gave his all as a guitar player

    here's a super cool pick of the main man check it out!

    An absolutely compelling talent that was indeed, taken from us all too soon. What happened to him, of course was never the least bit deserving and he will always be in our thoughts. Amazing passion that he with held in his performance, giving above and beyond I know I will be throwing in some Pantera later on, and also The Beatles as well, as John Lennon shall be remembered on this day...

    Rest In Peace Dime.

    Awww El Riot Actor! I know it sucks! This damn lingering cold. I'm telling you, tis the season. I hope you get better soon! :)

    HA! Yep, I actually heard he's doing shots with the big guy. ;)


    That's awesome powertool. You got to experience the greatness and power live....and just a week before. Wow! Dime was the man! And yes...Pantera will forever rock my life. Vulgar Display is hands down one of my fav albums and it never fails to beat my ass....so perfect for letting out the aggression. I can't praise that badboy enough. Dime's riffs are absolutely amazing with thier sickness. He was one hell of a talent and that fierce energy definitely lives on forver.

    I saw Vinnie side stage at the Audioslave show in Vegas last month. :) My group and I were throwing horns and smiles his way...and he kept returning them. :) I kept waiting for him to get behind the kit and tear it up...but no such luck. Still, very cool the see the mighty man. Kickin ass runs in the fam. ;)

    Vinnie was at an Audioslave show..... cool!!!

    I was super lucky enough to see PanterA live 3 times, 94 in Sydney Australia, 96 and 97 here in Houston, I also met them in one of those record store signings... :D

    Yeah, it was pretty cool, they even played "Walk" and "Becoming". At the middle of the show they stopped and some guy wearing a "best dude" t-shirt(later found out it was Vinnie's drum tech the "Kat" who also got shot on the leg) came out and started passing shots of whiskey to the crowd while the band was doing the same thing but with cans of Coors light. Dimebag did a 5 minute+ guitar solo which was pretty amazing that got the whole crowd to start chanting "Dimebag, Dimebag!" Later I read on a magazine Vinnie Paul saying that Dimebag wanted for years to do that at Pantera live shows but Phil wouldn't let'em. And as my final highlight of the night, when Shadows Fall got on the stage I made my way to the second floor of the venue so I could have a better view for the band cause I didn't want to be on the pit no more and like after 10 minutes into Shadows Falls set Vinnie Paul comes out with the singer of Damageplan and just hung out there during the rest of the show drinking and all, it was cool as shit, I even got to shake hands and talk a little with Vinnie. I still got Dime's pick from that night, I saw people selling them in Ebay for like $50 bucks or something... there's no way on earth I'd do something like that, I treat mine like gold.

    That's freakin' excellent man! Becoming is an awesome song! And the Kat is a cool dude, i only know him from the PanterA home videos, but those videos show a lot of the crazy stuff they do :D
    There's no way i would sell that guitar pick, and selling it for like $50 is like giving it a way or worse, that pick is priceless. I would frame it if i were you.

    MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:

    "Some of us are spending our days reflecting on our great friend Darrell Abbott. I know it is a very emotional day for some of us. I wanted to take this time to say that I believe Darrell has been touched by how many of us loved him and helped after this went down. I also think he would rather we think about how rad he was and the great moments we shared with him, more than that fact he is gone. But this is just me."
