Dimebag Darrell Walks Into A Bar ...

"Dimebag Darrell Walks Into A Bar" is probably one of my best videos of Dimebag sitting in with ASKA. I shot this video on June 26th 2004 at "Monte Carlos" in Arlington, Texas near Dimebag's house. Darrell frequently sat in with ASKA, especially after the break up of Pantera and before Damageplan. This particular night was a lot of fun. The Damageplan guys had just gotten home from the MTV HeadBangers tour with Damageplan and HateBreed. Dimebag was still pumped from being back on the road again and was ready to party with friends, family, and fans. You can probably tell that Darrell had his fair share of BlackTooths that night.
