Rest in peace, Vinnie Paul Abbott.
March 11, 1964 - June 22, 2018
If anyone has some sort of issue with me getting emotional and waxing esoteric right about now, that's too fucking bad.
I love Vinnie Paul and I loved his little brother, Dimebag Darrell. Not like romantic or sexual love. More like filial love, and lots of respect.
I don't think Vinnie Paul ever got over Dimebag's death. I think he and his little brother are reunited now, making up for lost time. I wish I could give them both a big hug and tell them thank you just for being here in this sometimes crappy world.
Dime and Vinnie Paul never put on airs. They were just two regular guys who happened to be incredibly talented. They were the real deal.
Fly free, Vinnie Paul, good Buddy. Much love always and forever. Thank you for being here. Maybe I'll see you on the other side when I get there.
Love, Cie
