Book Reviews of Black Tooth Grin: The High Life, Good Times, and Tragic End of "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott
Book Review: This is a great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a serial rock bio reader - just can't get enough of'em! I've read a lot of them, and let me just say: this one is right there at the top. I've read other reviews that complain about Crain's using other sources for his quotes, and there being no new material, and all I can say is, "COME ON!" This book combines it all into a comprehensive source that I just haven't been able to put down. I'm a fairly slow reader - excuse me, I like to "read for detail" - but I've been wizzing through this thing and telling myself to slow down so it won't be over so soon! Seriously, even if you weren't a huge Dime fan, I think you'll love this book. It's a great, easy, enjoyable read that I just can't get enough of. Check it out!

Summary of Black Tooth Grin: The High Life, Good Times, and Tragic End of "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott
Black Tooth Grin is the first biography of “Dimebag? Darrell Abbott, the Texas-bred guitarist of the heavy metal band Pantera, who was murdered onstage in 2004 by a deranged fan—24 years to the day after John Lennon met a similar fate.
Darrell Abbott began as a Kiss-inspired teenage prodigy who won dozens of local talent contests. With his brother, drummer Vinnie Abbott, he formed Pantera, becoming one of the most popular bands of the ?90s and selling millions of albums to an intensely devoted fan base. While the band?s music was aggressive, “Dime? was outgoing, gregarious, and adored by everyone who knew him.
From Pantera?s heyday to their implosion following singer Phil Anselmo?s heroin addiction to Darrell?s tragic end, Black Tooth Grin is a moving portrait of a great artist.
