Black Tooth Grin: The High Life, Good Times, and Tragic End of “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott

pantera1I remember that I was dicking around at a Sydney Internet café in 2004 when I opened an email from my mom informing me that Pantera guitarist Dimebag (né Diamond) Darrell had been murdered by a crazed fan. You’d think that she was telling me my brother had died. The pain hasn’t faded with time. So when I received a galley from De Capo of the forthcoming Dime biography, I thought, “Hell, it’s about time.” The book comes out in May, and it will hold a place of honor on my bookshelf. You hear that, Jimmy Chen? Honor!

      She’s a cool lady, but takes second place to my dad, who took my younger brother to OzFest years ago, and sat outside the pit reading a book. I shit you not.
