Dimebag Darrell was an American guitarist, songwriter, and co-founder of the heavy metal band Pantera. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest metal guitarists of all time because of his fast playing, unique guitar tone, and influence on modern heavy metal. After Pantera disbanded, he formed the band Damageplan with his brother, drummer Vinnie Paul.
On December 8, 2004, while performing with Damageplan in Columbus, Ohio, a gunman rushed onto the stage and shot Darrell several times. He died instantly at the age of 38. The attacker also killed three other people before being shot by a police officer. Darrell's death is remembered as one of the most tragic events in rock music history.
