MTV News is reporting that a small memorial started by a handful of fans blossomed into an outpouring of grief and celebration Thursday, less than 24 hours after the shocking slayings at the Alrosa Villa club where PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and three others were killed.
Despite the rain and cold temperature, hundreds of fans gathered outside the weathered metal club to pay homage to their hero. They erected makeshift crosses, laid yellow roses in honor of Abbott's Texas roots and burned candles in his honor, but mostly they shared stories, asked each other why anyone would do such a thing and, perhaps most importantly, they blasted PANTERA's cathartic tunes and shouted their lungs out.
Early in the day, during a steady downpour, fans trickled by and propped tributes to Abbott on a large rock at the entrance to the club's parking lot. A six-pack of Heineken shared space with a rain-spattered copy of PANTERA's "Far Beyond Driven" CD, a handful of guitar picks and large Budweiser can that bore the taped-on message "From Joshua Ramey, Diamond Daryl Boggs and Danny 'Party Boy' Jenkins - Never stop rocking and kicking f---ing ass. RIP, brother." In the distance, the venue's marquee still showed DAMAGEPLAN's name. Read more.
