To celebrate the release of Dimebag Darrell: He Came to Rock—the official biography of the fallen guitar hero—MetalKult.com is giving you a chance to win a copy of this exhaustive retrospective of Dime’s life.

The book, written by Susan Doll and David Morrow, is a 400-plus photo driven biography assembled from the private and personal collections of friends and family including Dime’s father, Jerry Abbott, and his brother, former Pantera and current Hellyeah drummer Vinnie Paul. The book also contains anecdotes from Dime’s metal peers such as Kerry King and Zakk Wylde.

Also included is a revised version of Dimevision on DVD that includes some never-before-seen bonus clips made by Dime himself.

So how can you win a copy of this book? Easy. You just have to be one of the first three people to correctly answer the following questions, and email them to metalkult666@gmail.com.

1) What was the name of Dimebag’s country music project?
2) What is the title of Damageplan’s debut album?
3) What is the name of Dimebag Darrell’s signature cocktail?

If you’re too lazy to think, or aren’t lucky enough to win, you can order your copy online directly from bigvinrecords.com.
