Best RockToon ever!


This is by far one of the best ive seen !
Thats Dimebag, lead guitarist of my all time favorite band Pantera ( kick ass!)
Great background of their popular song "Cemetary Gates" and of course symbolic to the sad demise of Dimebag Diamond Darell Abbott in Dec 2004.
Its my wallpaper now .
Sadly Pantera split into Damageplan and Superjoint Ritual Damageplan were formed in 2003 by guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and drummer brother Vinnie Paul .
Lead singer Philip Anselmo formed Superjoint Ritual and side project Down.

RIP @ Dimebag ... your music lives ...
