It\u2019s hard to believe that it\u2019s coming up on 5 years that the greatest heavy metal guitarist of them all was shot and killed on stage &#8211;  the night of Dec 8, 2004 &#8211; while performing with his new band DAMAGEPLAN. Darrell lost his life, along with the shooter and three other great men who tried desperately to help save the guitar legend: Jeff \u201cMayhem\u201d Thompson, Nathan Bray, and Erin Halk.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nDimebag was truly a one of a kind guitar hero and is missed today more than ever.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i3.photobucket.com\/albums\/y55\/RSCODY\/dimebag.jpg\" alt=\"Dimebag\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nHis incredible music with PANTERA from Cowboys From Hell in 1990 all the way to 2000\u2019s all-time epic Reinventing The Steel, permanently and profoundly left a mark on all those that listened to his uncanny<br \/>\nguitar playing abilities.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nToday would have been <strong>Dime\u2019s 43rd birthday<\/strong>.
