Episode 24: Cowboy from Hell

This week Shea describes the life and early death of Dimebag Darrell Abbott and three others in a tragic 2004 concert shooting. This episode is dear to our hearts and became a tribute to both Dimebag and his late brother Vinnie Paul Abbott. So pour yourself a Blacktooth Grin, take a seat, and throw up the horns as we take you through Dime's early life, Pantera's world domination, and what led to one of the most heartbreaking events in music history.
