Darrell Lance Abbott<\/strong> (August 20, 1966 \u2013 December 8, 2004), best known by his stage name Dimebag Darrell<\/strong>, 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 often regarded as one of the greatest heavy metal guitarists of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n

A son of country music producer Jerry Abbott, Abbott began playing guitar at age 12, and Pantera released its debut album, Metal Magic<\/em> (1983), when he was 16. Originally a glam metal musician, Abbott went by the stage name Diamond Darrell<\/strong> at the time. Two further albums in the glam metal style followed in 1984 and 1985, before original vocalist Terry Glaze was replaced by Phil Anselmo in 1986 and Power Metal<\/em> (1988) was released. The band’s major-label debut, Cowboys from Hell<\/em> (1990), introduced a groove metal sound to which Abbott’s guitar playing was central. This sound was refined on Vulgar Display of Power<\/em> (1992), and the group’s third major-label record, Far Beyond Driven<\/em>, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200<\/em> in 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n

Tensions within Pantera reduced its output after the release of The Great Southern Trendkill<\/em> in 1996, and Reinventing the Steel<\/em> (2000) was the band’s final studio album before its acrimonious separation in 2003. Abbott subsequently formed Damageplan with his brother Vinnie Paul and released New Found Power<\/em>, the band’s only album, in 2004. Other works by Abbott included a collaboration with David Allan Coe titled Rebel Meets Rebel<\/em> (2006) and numerous guest guitar solos for bands such as Anthrax. On December 8, 2004, Abbott was shot and killed by a fan while on stage with Damageplan at the Alrosa Villa nightclub in Columbus, Ohio. Three others were murdered in the shooting before the perpetrator was killed by a police officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abbott was ranked at No. 92 on Rolling Stone<\/em>‘s list of \u00ab\u00a0The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time\u00a0\u00bb in 2011, and No. 19 on Louder<\/em>‘s list of \u00ab\u00a0The 50 Greatest Guitarists of All Time\u00a0\u00bb in 2018. He placed at No. 5 on Gibson’s list of \u00ab\u00a0The Top 10 Metal Guitarists of All Time\u00a0\u00bb in 2015, and the same year was ranked as the most influential metal guitarist of the past 25 years by VH1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
