it was one year ago today when rock star 'dimebag' darrell abbott was shot and killed by nathan gale at the alrosa villa nightclub in columbus ohio as damageplan was performing.
also killed that fateful night one year ago were audience members nathan bray (23) and erin haulk (29), and jeffery "mayhem" thompson (40), head of damageplan security. many others were injured including dime's brother, damageplan drummer vinnie paul.
in the blink of an eye
seems like minutes as the years fly by
in the blink of an eye
afraid to stop because i can't stop time
that's just how fast your life can chage
in the blink of an eye everything's erased
--damageplan (blink of an eye)
i think what vinnie paul said best sums it up...
"rest in peace, brother dime!"
