No Brown M&ms

December 8th, 2004, I was living in Stillwater, Oklahoma when I heard the news that Darrell Abbott had been shot on stage in Columbus, OH while performing with Damageplan. I have been a Pantera & Darrell Abbott fan for as long as I can remember. Vulgar Display of Power was the first Pantera record I ever purchased & I was hooked from then on. To me, there was no one like Darrell, he was the consummate performer as well as being life of the party, & a really friendly person. I’ve always wanted to have a discussion with Oklahoma musicians about the influence that Dime had on them. I’ve sat down with Provo from Everybody Panic, Vinny from Trainreck, Zain from Locust Grove, Cameron Conyer from the Far Beyond The Grave Pantera Tribtue, and Cody Canada from The Departed even called in to talk about the Cross Canadian Ragweed song “Dimebag” that he co-wrote with Mike McClure. If you are a Pantera fan at all, you will enjoy hearing the stories from these Oklahoma Musicians… - Jay Ramone See omnystudio.com/listener f
