Was the only time I saw Pantera live. After the concert, Dimebag picked me out of everyone that was there and threw me 2 glasses of beer, but I didn't catch either because some guy slapped it out of my hand and the next beer Dime threw, landed short and the crowd got that one too. THEN. . . Dime told Vinnie to throw me a drum stick. I missed that too because my ride was leaving and I had to leave the concert. So I had to watch as the drum stick flew through the air and landed in the crowd behind me.

I was so mad that I missed all 3 and now, even more pissed off that I never got to meet them after the show, or ever after. I am just glad that I was chosen by Dimebag Darrell in front of all of my friends that night.

Now, I am still so crushed, that Dimebag was senselessly murdered and that a pathetic, deranged lunatic stole such an awesome person and that Vinnie had to go way too early. The only true COWBOYS FROM HELL. . . . . "Van Halen!!"
