They both grew up in Arlington. Went to Bowie High school I believe.

Darrell's home is in Dalworthington Gardens. Vinnie lives in Arlington:

im still sad.. i can't get over how horrible this is.

Jim01: I was patted down at venues as small as The Engine Room when tours like Iced Earth came through.

That show last April was killer. I was waiting for Damageplan to come through again since I just got heavily into them.

-----------------------------------------
Thanks for the advice, i'll keep that in mind

I think Damageplan were just at Numbers with Shadows Fall not too long ago at all. Now I'm even more pissed I missed that show. PS for those that liked Pantera, Shadows Fall is pretty freaking good. Damn good guitar playing and heavy as hell.

Hey Echoes, if you like Pantera, there's a local band called Six Past Hell that I saw at Forgettaboutit that I liked quite a bit. They're playing there again next weekend and again in January. They're like a bunch of short metal gnomes with long beards and long hair. Very entertaining.

I actually ran sound for them once, when they opened for "Slim". They're cool too, very very Pantera influenced, to say the least. Good guys, as I recall.

arlington my freind, they went to gunn junior high...apparently claim "ft. worth" in all their songs though...probably because it sounds better than arlington or pantego or dwg(worse cops than bcs)

I just saw photos of the public memorial service - some really big guns came out on stage. Eddie Van Halen, Zakk Wylde and Jerry Cantrell all spoke. Talk about the guitar allstars! I hope Darrell Abbott knew how respected he was by the best rock musicians in the world.
