See The Last Stage Pantera’s Dimebag Darrell Played On In Monroe, Michigan

There's a unique piece of rock memorabilia on display in Monore at the Museum Of Horror. Curator, Nate Thompson, told me a few weeks back that he'd bought part of the stage "Dimebag" Darrell was shot on that fateful day in late 2004. It was the final show for the metal guitar legend, at the Alrosa Villa nightclub in Columbus, Ohio, on December 8th.

Nate told me he found out about the stage a few months ago. He already has a small piece of the carpet from the stage at the museum, but he wanted more from his guitar hero's last show. Through a friend, he was told a guy he knows had the stage and was willing to part with it, as long as he wouldn't chop it up and sell pieces of it. Nate is a huge fan of the late guitarist and said that was never in the cards. He said a former guitarist for the country legend David Allen Coe had the stage. He even has some pictures of the final show, which will be part of the display. Nate said it's a 4' x 8' section "It's not the whole entire stage, but it's the most important...at least to me." Nate went on "It's bittersweet. I don't want to have it as an exhibit, I want to have it as a memorial."

Nate said you'll be able to leave a pick in memory of Dimebag at the display. "People will be able to bring their picks from all over the world and leave it at the stage where he last played at."

"It's very important piece for me. Because growing up playing guitar, you try to model your guitar playing after the ones that do it best. And there's no other, at least in my eyes, no one that's done it better than "Dimebag" Darrell." Nate sees putting this stage on display as a tribute to the metal legend. "The way I see it, I'm going to display it as a memorial. I'm going to display it as the stage he last played on."

Well said, Nate.

The stage is up now at the museum to view, as they'll be adding more to it in the coming weeks. For more info, click here.

Last week on my socials, I asked you guys to pick one horror movie everyone should see. I learned a couple things by doing this. One, a lot of you don't know what "one" means. And two, there's still some movies I have to see!

I'm a huge horror movie fan, so this is right up my ally. Give a look at some of these must-see movies, and feel free to hit me up with some you think I should've added.

I mean, classic, right?!?! Some call it one of the most horrifying movie ever made.

Now, this will put you in the Halloween spirit! I love this movie/series. That being said, the last one started out really well but crashed pretty fast. I did like the cameo of Shinedown's Zach Myers though.

What a classic! "Heeeere's Johnny!". Love it! A proud dad moment was a few years back when my daughter and her friend dressed up like the little girls from the movie. Just a fantastic horror movie.

For me, this is one of the scariest horror movies ever made. When you can produce a movie that has numerous daytime scenes, and make it scary, you've won in my book. Plus, this movie is completely plausible. It could happen.

I'll admit, I haven't watched this movie in a very long time. I saw it when it first came out and was terrified of it. Maybe that's why I haven't sat through it again. LOL

Steven King at his finest. Who doesn't love a scary clown?? Oh, besides most people. This is good, horror-watching! Plus, for me when you add in children, I squirm in my seat.

I just watched the latest SAW movie, which you can see my review of here. The thing that made the first one so good, is that you never saw anything like it before, and you never saw it coming. A total shocker at the end. A great movie, in my opinion.

This is another one I've got to watch again. Just a classic with some rock star cameos throughout the movie like Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons.

I loved both of these movies. IMO, Rob Zombie's finest. Truly worth the watch! He created some new horror characters that are still scary. Dr. Satan is one of them.

One of my favorite horror movies of the past year. Fantastic and creepy!

This movie is messed up!

This movie is also twisted. I loved it!

I loved these movies. Sick and gory.....I mean, who doesn't love Art The Clown?!!?
