MACHINE HEAD, SHADOWS FALL Members Remember DIMEBAG; Video Available
January 19, 2008MACHINE HEAD frontman Robb Flynn and SHADOWS FALL singer Brian Fair talked to Finland's Get in the Pit TV about their memories of late PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott during separate interviews conducted before the two bands' joint December 14, 2007 concert in Helsinki. Watch the eight-minute clip below.
"Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was shot to death along with three others during a DAMAGEPLAN performance at the Alrosa Villa nightclub in Columbus, Ohio in December 2004.
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.
