Dimebag's Ex Blames Phil Anselmo For His Murder was a top story on Thursday. Here it is again: (Rockdirt) In an interview with Guitar World magazine, slain guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott's girlfriend of 20 years, Rita Haney, is pointing fingers at Panetera singer Phil Anselmo for causing Dimebag to be murdered on stage on December 8, 2004 in Columbus, Ohio by deranged gunman Nathan Gale. "If Phil Anselmo hadn't quit Pantera, Darrell wouldn't have been playing in that sh**hole where that guy could get to him," Haney fumed in the mag's March 2008 issue, on sale January 15th.
She also didn't have kind words for the lead singer of the band Dimebag was playing with that night, Damageplan. "I remember in his final days, Darrell was calling me a lot and he told me that he didn't know what to do about [vocalist] Pat Lachman," Haney explained.
