Well guys, I found out earlier today. one of my all time favorite drummers has passed away at 54, Vinne Paul Abbott the drummer and one of the founding members of my all time favorite agro metal band Pantera. His brothet Darrel "Dimebag" Abbott was killed by a psycho on stage in front of Vinnie Paul back in 2004. My heart goes out to this family that has now lost 2 huge talents way too soon. I will always hold these two brothers in the highest regards for their raw musicianship and their hard charging styles! RIP Vinnie Paul Abbott! God speed, you double kick drum beast!

He and Dime can jam together once again.
Pantera was so influential in my early guitar years.

RIP
 
Sad. A real talent, and someone who genuinely seemed to be a good, positive guy.
 
A genuine, nice guy. RIP Vin. :(
My old band played a festival w/Damageplan just a couple months before Dime was murdered. Vinnie was nice as can be.
