DimeBash went off without a hitch last night (Dec. 14) at the Key Club in West Hollywood, Calif. Presented by ‘That Metal Show’ hosts Eddie Trunk, Jim Florentine and Don Jamieson, the event boasted some of metal’s most legendary musicians paying tribute to the late Pantera / Damageplan guitarist “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott.

The lineup for the second annual DimeBash has been announced. The show is a tribute to the late, great guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott, who tragically was gunned down seven years ago on Dec. 8, in Ohio while doing what he loved most: playing guitar. He was performing with his post-Pantera band Damageplan when a disturbed fan opened fire at close range and shot him.

Pantera fans want a reunion, doesnt mean its going to happen.  There have been rumors of guitarist Zakk Wylde playing with original members vocalist Philip H. Anselmo, bassist Rex Brown and drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott.

I’ve been lucky enough to have a couple brushes with some big names. I will never forget the time I played an after-show party at Northern Lights for Damageplan and Dimebag Darrell grabbed the microphone

Dimebag” Darrell Lance Abbott was murdered six years ago today in an incident just as shocking  as John Lennon‘s murder on the same date in 1980.
