R.I.P. Vinnie Paul (1964-2018)
It's sad to report that drummer and co-founder of influential Heavy Metal band, Pantera, Vinnie Paul Abbott (Or as most people call him, Vinnie Paul) passed away yesterday at age 54.
It's bad enough that we already lost his equally talented brother over a decade ago!
After Pantera's breakup, Vinnie played for other bands like Damageplan alongside his brother and Pantera bandmate, Dimebag Darrell (Before the latter was shot to death during a concert), and Hellyeah.
He was definitely a hard hitting drummer, and he will be greatly missed along with Dimebag. May they both rest in peace and make great music together in heaven!
