Description

Ex-Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott was once attacked and murdered At the same time as performing with his new band Damageplan on Dec. 8, 2004. At the same time as the media focused only on the crime, several unsung heroes remained forgotten. This is the story of three brave men who made a difference in countless lives by paying the price with their own.

Over the span of 14 months, writer Chris A has researched the people, places and circumstances leading to the horrific murders of beloved guitarist, Dimebag Darrell Abbott, bodyguard Jeffery Mayhem Thompson, professional roadie Erin Halk and fan, husband and father, Nathan Bray. The result is an insightful, thought provoking book that induces a powerful range of emotions.

At the same time as the book explores the background and motive of the killer who callously took the lives of these four innocent people, the focal point goes far beyond the specifics of the crime. A Vulgar Display of Power: Courage and Carnage at the Alrosa Villa crosses many genres; its part rock n roll history, part true-crime and part biography. The result is a modern-day inspirational chronicle of good as opposed to evil. Now and then graphic in its content, its intention isn t to shock or sensationalize, but reasonably to clearly articulate the raw courage and selflessness of those who paid the ultimate price. Above all, the writer placed great emphasis on recounting the events with accuracy and taste. The book has been meticulously researched and the writer has in my view interviewed and corresponded with hundreds of people involved. Augmented by 240 photos, most never published, readers will meet the heroes, the police officers, paramedics, fans and venue employees who worked together to check out to save lives and demonstrate compassion. A Vulgar Display of Power: Courage and Carnage at the Alrosa Villa delivers a powerful, inspirational and educational message so we can touch all who turn its pages.

A book by Chris A.
Foreword written by first responding Officer James Niggemeyer.
