MUSIC CHOICE Remembers Late PANTERA Guitarist 'DIMEBAG' DARRELL ABBOTT

November 16, 2005

Music Choice, the premier, multi-platform music network, remembers legendary hard rock/metal guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, whose life ended tragically on December 8, 2004. Music Choice On Demand will feature the best of Dimebag on its video-on-demand service from November 28 to December 11. The Dimebag Darrell Tribute Hot List showcases four music videos featuring Dimebag, along with a musical and personal tribute to Dimebag from fellow guitarist and best friend Zakk Wylde of BLACK LABEL SOCIETY.

The music videos for "Walk", "Revolution Is My Name", and "Drag The Waters" from PANTERA, the band that featured Dimebag on guitar for over two decades along with brother Vinnie Paul on drums, are included in the Dimebag Darrell Tribute Hot List, in addition to "Save Me" by DAMAGEPLAN, the band that Dimebag and Vinnie formed after PANTERA's breakup in 2003.

The Dimebag Darrell Tribute Hot List also includes Zakk Wylde's musical tribute to Dimebag, "In This River", performed by Zakk's band BLACK LABEL SOCIETY. Zakk is also featured in a clip that precedes the music video speaking about Dimebag shortly after his death. "He (Dimebag) ruled the world and still does," said Wylde. "He'll live forever like Randy (Rhoads) and Jimi Hendrix."

"Dimebag Darrell was one of the greatest rock/metal guitarists of all time," said Justin Prager, Director of Rock, Pop/Rhythmic Programming for Music Choice. "We join Dimebag's fans in celebrating his short life with our exclusive Dimebag Darrell Tribute Hot List."
