A POEM FOR DIMEBAG

I read the news last night just before bed
A horrible tragedy, Dimebag is dead
The metal world in mourning, a hero fell
Rest In Peace to a cowboy from hell

You helped us through the 90's when metal seemed dead
You stayed true to the cause, there was a hunger you fed
Your spirit will be carried through memories and song
In the heart of heavy metal Dimebag will live on

Like Randy, Jimmi and Cliff, your death came too soon
No one was ready for you to pass from this world
So take your place amongst the greats
Unlock the door, and pass through the cemetary gates

Photos Of DIMEBAG DARRELL's Final Resting Place Posted Online

FindAGrave.com has published several photos of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott's final resting place at the Moore Funeral Home Cemetery in Arlington (Tarrant County), Texas. Check them out: Photo#1, Photo#2, Photo#3.

According to the Star-Telegram, a small procession of limousines left Abbott's Dalworthington Gardens home on Tuesday (Dec. 14) at about 3 p.m. for the funeral service.

After the funeral, mourners said Abbott was buried in a KISS-themed casket, dubbed the "Kiss Kasket" (photo). In recent years, Abbott made recording appearances with one of his influences, Ace Frehley, KISS' first lead guitarist.

REST IN PEACE BROTHER DIME!!!!!!” - Damageplan drummer Vinnie Paul, brother of Dimebag Darrell


New Damageplan Recordings May Surface

Although Damageplan may be finished as a touring entity in the wake of last month's on-stage murder of guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, the group's manager says another release is likely. Damageplan's lone album was its 2003 Elektra debut, "New Found Power."

"There were recordings the band laid down prior to Dimebag's death that are near completion," manager Paul Bassman tells Billboard in his first interview since the incident. "[Drummer/Abbott's brother] Vinnie Paul has said there will be a follow-up album down the road, as Dime would have wanted his music to be heard."

"How this man got onstage without encountering security is the most puzzling question," Bassman says.

"All clubs should be prepared for whatever presents itself to protect any artist they have contracted to perform on their stage," he continues. "In this particular case it may or may not have helped, but it certainly would not have hurt. Hopefully, a tragedy such as this will never be repeated."
