My Take

Dimebag Darrell sits high in my personal pantheon of guitarists. What he built with his brother in Pantera, out of Arlington, Texas, redefined heavy rhythm playing; those razor-wire riffs and squealing harmonics are identifiable within two bars. I am struck by how joyful he was about such an aggressive art form, since every live clip shows a man having the time of his life. His murder onstage in 2004 remains one of music's cruelest losses, yet his vocabulary is now baked into the DNA of modern metal. Few players, in any genre, cast a longer shadow.

Overview

Darrell Lance Abbott (August 20, 1966 – December 8, 2004), known professionally as Dimebag Darrell, was an American musician. He was the guitarist of the heavy metal bands Pantera and Damageplan, both of which he co-founded alongside his brother Vinnie Paul. He is considered by many to be one of the greatest metal guitarists of all time.
