Last night (January 24th) saw the annual ‘Dimebash‘ event take place, with numerous metal and hard rock musicians jamming together onstage to pay tribute to late Pantera, etc. guitarist “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott. This year’s edition of the event, which was held at The Observatory in Santa Ana, CA, sadly took on more weight given the death of Abbott‘s brother, Pantera/HELLYEAH drummer Vinnie Paul, who passed away in June of last year due to heart-related issues.

- Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters)
