Alrosa Villa, the once-popular and now-closed North Side music venue where five people, including former Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, were shot and killed during a 2004 show, has been demolished to become the home of 180 affordable apartment units.
"Heavy Metal Picker" has uploaded the video below, stating: "The Dime rock has either been replaced with a different rock, or they buffed the artwork off. I could not tell. RIP Dimebag, Vinnie, Erin Halk, Nathan Bray and Jeff Thompson. Thank you Rick Cautela and Officer Niggemeyer. This will be replaced by "affordable" apartment megaplexes, which is a code word for high crime."
PcP Films previously posted video featuring footage of the club before it was demolished. A message accompanying the clip states: "With the recent news that this unfortunate landmark in the history of heavy metal will soon be demolished, I felt compelled to go and visit it. Here is what it looked like in it's final days. RIP Dime, and all the other victims from that fateful night."
