---Dimebag Darrell: The Guitar World Tribute at www.GuitarWorld.com
Anyone that reads Guitar World knows Dimebag Darrell was family.  He had been featured regularly in Guitar World for more than a decade and appeared in our pages dozens of times.  Darrell also contributed a monthly GW column that ran on and off for at least five years.  He was more than just a guitarist we admired; he was a part of the fabric of our magazine and someone we called "brother."

While GW mourns Dimebag, the magazine also rejoices at the chance to pay tribute to him and his accomplishments.  Guitar World looks back on the life and times of Dimebag Darrell, the original cowboy from hell, whose explosive style and live-wire personality forever changed the face of heavy metal guitar.  PLUS - Dimebag meets Eddie Van Halen, a report from Dime's funeral and memorial services, and his last Guitar World interview, which is also included as a part of the issue's supplemental CD-ROM.

---Alright everyone, this disrespectful bullshit has GOT to stop. I am mortified that there is even videos, footage or photos from that terrible night. But what upsets me more is the thousands of people that are scurrying to view them. Just to get my point across so that I do not get emailed on this anylonger. You will not find ANYTHING regarding that night as far as photos, videos or any other form of footage on this site. If you want to see that shit, go somewhere else. I do not support that and never will. Just like the banner says, this is a site to HONOR the life of Dimebag, not to disrespect it.  Thank you, Nola Bradley

---Dimebag Darrell’s Family Requests KISS Kasket For Burial
On this past weekend’s edition of Fox News’ The Big Story Weekend With Rita Cosby, KISS bassist/singer GENE SIMMONS revealed that Dimebag Darrell Abbott’s family have requested a KISS Kasket to have the fallen guitar hero laid to rest in.
The following is an excerpt from the show’s transcription:

Cosby: “Now, I understand there was something special. This just came down recently. Darrell Abbott's family requested something sort of special tied with your band. Tell us about it.”
Simmons: “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 buried in a Kiss Kasket. And I think it's a private matter for the family and the fans actually.”
Cosby: “No, and I think that's beautiful that that's happening, too, because I'm sure, it obviously, as you said, meant a lot to him. How big of a shock was this? You know this guy really was a legend and so well respected in the industry. How big of a shock was it to you, Gene, when you heard what happened?”
Simmons: “You know it's about as shocking as it can get. The unfortunate thing is that the media will tend to sort of look at the visuals, you know, the flying hair and the crazy look and all of the over- the-top stuff, which is what performing is all about. But people forget that underneath all of that, actually, Darrell was a very, very sweet guy, very upstanding, very quiet in his own way, immensely talented. Pantera was a very, very important band. And I'm sure all the fans are going to miss him very much. I know I do.
We — Kiss played at the stadium in Argentina and we invited Pantera to join us. And it was one of the highlights of any of the tours we have ever played. Darrell was just a sweet guy.”

---According to a press release, the Dimebag Tribute benefit on December 12, 2004 held at the Backroom in Austin, TX raised $1000 US for the families that were affected by the tragic shootings in Columbus, OH at the DAMAGEPLAN show.
