Industry Reviews "One thing Crain absolutely nails...and what is really the heart of Abbott's story--is his open, unpretentious nature, always willing to chat with a fan, to sign anything, to help a friend....The mantra of the medium, of course, is 'sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.' Crain's best work is in documenting the last of those--with the hair-band-to-hard-rock timeline of Pantera, the dissolution of same, the formation of Damageplan, and Abbott's unfortunate demise in Ohio."
