Late PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott will be the focus of this weekend's (June 23) "Headbanger's Ball" as he gets inducted into Hollywood's RockWalk. Look out for nine "Beyond the Ball" short art pieces with family and friends scattered throughout the two-hour show. Scott Ian (ANTHRAX), Jerry Cantrell (ALICE IN CHAINS), John 5 (ROB ZOMBIE), Six-String Masterpieces, Little Kids Rock and more all honor and pay tribute to Dime's life, music and legacy. Zakk Wylde plays "In This River" for Dimebag at the RockWalk induction ceremony.
"Headbanger's Ball" airs Saturday nights between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. on MTV2.
As previously reported, Spread Entertainment went behind the scenes at the Black Tooth Bash on May 17, 2007 at the House of Blues in Hollywood, California to speak with a number of the musicians who performed in honor of late PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, including members of ALICE IN CHAINS, LINKIN PARK, ANTHRAX and Dimebag's brother Vinnie Paul. Watch the Spread Entertainment coverage at YouTube: Part#1, Part#2.
The music and memory of "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott lived on as friends, family, and fans rocked the night away. Early acoustic performances included "It's Been A While" by Aaron Lewis (STAIND), "Simple Man" by Brent Smith and Jasin Todd of SHINEDOWN, ALICE IN CHAINS, and "Wish You Were Here" with Pearl Aday (ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian's fiancée and daughter of legendary crooner Meat Loaf) on vocals, accompanied by Scott Ian and Jerry Cantrell on acoustic guitars.
Things kicked into high gear with Chester Bennington and Dave Navarro joining forces, covering JANE'S ADDICTION, LED ZEPPELIN, and AC/DC. Doug Pinnick of KING'S X joined ALICE IN CHAINS onstage, and Tim "Ripper" Owens tore through selections including VAN HALEN and JUDAS PRIEST with Eddie Jackson and Mike Stone of QUEENSRŸCHE with HATEBREED's Matt Byrne on drums. After a dazzling array of powerhouse classics, Ace Frehley led a high-energy "Cold Gin" with Vinnie Paul on drums. The evening ended with a bang as all musicians took the stage for PANTERA's "Walk".
