LAMB OF GOD, DEVILDRIVER, SOILWORK, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE Members Pay Tribute To DIMEBAG

December 10, 2007

Members of DEVILDRIVER, LAMB OF GOD, SOILWORK and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE paid tribute to late PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott by performing a cover of PANTERA's "Five Minutes Alone" during their joint appearance Saturday night (December 8) at the Nokia Theatre in Dimebag's hometown of Dallas, Texas. The performance, which took place on the three-year anniversary of Dimebag's death, can be viewed below. DEVILDRIVER frontman Dez Fafara also reportedly made the entire audience take a knee for Darrell in a moment of silence two songs before the end of DEVILDRIVER's set.

"Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was shot to death along with three others during a DAMAGEPLAN performance at the Alrosa Villa nightclub in Columbus, Ohio.

Dimebag was posthumously inducted into the Hollywood RockWalk last May, in a ceremony attended by Vinnie Paul, their father Jerry Abbott and Dimebag's longtime girlfriend, Rita Haney, along with members of ALICE IN CHAINS, ANTHRAX, KISS, SLAYER and Ozzy Osbourne's band.

A bronze bust of Dimebag was unveiled during the ceremony and later installed on the RockWalk's posthumous inductee wall, alongside luminaries such as Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix and Robert Johnson.
