“Remembering Dimebag Darrell today and everyday,” said Benante
For those who may not know the “blacktooth” or “Black Tooth Grin” was Darrell’s signature cocktail which is a mix of Crown Royal, Seagram’s 7 and Coca-Cola that he and his Pantera bandmates drank like water back in the day.
The other men Brown mentioned on his Instagram post were other people who were tragically killed by the gunman who fatally shot Darrell onstage during the performance in 2004.
