On 12/8/2004 we lost PANTERA and DAMAGEPLAN guitarist DARRELL "DIMEBAG" ABBOTT . On 12/8/1980 we lost BEATLES guitarist, vocalist, peace activist JOHN LENNON, as both musicians died at the hands of murderers. .
Also, today would have JIM MORRISON'S (vocalist of THE DOORS) birthday.
FROM MIKE PORTNOY:
I post this photo every Dec 8th to remember the two amazing people that were taken from us all way too soon on this day (41 years ago and 17 years ago). One was my hero and one was a friend. Miss them both dearly... #ripjohnlennon #ripdimebag
