Last week at the Observatory in Santa Ana, California, the rock and metal community came together for the annual Dimebash celebration, a tribute to late Pantera and Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott. A legend who we lost too soon on December 8th, 2004.
To celebrate this great man, some of the best in the metal world stepped to the stage to pay tribute. The night featured full sets from Kill Devil Hill and Fireball Ministry, alongside an all-star jam playing a selection of Dimebag’s most well-known tracks.
Possibly the biggest thing people are talking about, is the recent footage that emerged with Dimebag’s Pantera bandmate Rex Brown, along with Corey Taylor, Dave Grohl, Scott Ian and Charlie Benante, playing through the Pantera classic “Walk."
The only negative thing I can say about this performance is that… I was not there to enjoy it live!
