Next couple of days, I'm gonna pay homage to my main man Darrell "Dimebag" Abbott. I knew this cat before the "Cowboy from Hell" days got cookin'. I mean WAAAY back during their big hair days. Back in the day, when they were clubbin' and trying to get their name out there like everyone else, they would breeze in to town to do their thing. They lived 3 hours from our town so it was nothing for them to be around once a month. Between sets, they would sit with us and have drinks and they were really down to earth guys just shootin' the shit. So, I wanted to pay my respects and get some of y'alls opinions, stories, etc to show some respect and honor a guitarist who we all will truly miss. Be sure to see and comment my pic albums of Dimebag himself. Thanks gang and God bless all of ya!

As part of my tribute to Guitar Gods, I will have daily "Axe Fights" to see who you Cherry Tappers thinks is the best Guitar God. This voting will be seen once a day in my MUMMS. After each guitarist win, I will tally votes and let you all know who YOU, the voter chose. The next 24 hours will Randy Rhodes VS. Zakk Wylde. Good luck gang, this should be real interesting!

In the next month I will be writing about our rock heros, Case in point-Guitar gods! What makes a guitar player great? Is it flying through scales? Is it "tapping?' Personally, I think nearly everyone contributes. I feel a guitarist isn't really better than the next. It's their performance, if it sounds good, feels good, it usually IS good. BUT, once in a while there comes along one that kinda stands out for whatever reason. One way or another, they leave their "mark" in the music industry and that gives us all the memories we all like to talk about for years to come. Would'nt you agree?
