All-Star Lineups Remember Dimebag At Ozzfest
August 9, 2008 - Pizza Hut Park, Frisco, TX
One of the big events of Saturday’s Ozzfest was a four-song performance of song tributes to “Dimebag” Darell Abbott, the former Pantera/ Damageplan guitarist gunned down onstage by a wacked-out fan at a club in Ohio in 2004. Each song was performed by a different all-star tribute group, many artists making special provisions to appear.
I was able to positively identify all of the artists involved except the drummer on songs 1 and 2, who I suspect was Vinnie Paul Abbott, but I can’t prove it with a picture (it was tough to see the drummer from the pit). I also can’t prove Lars was there with a picture either. Below is the song list and the roster of each supergroup that performed:
Song 1 - Pantera’s “Mouth for War”
Jamey Jasta - Hatebreed
Bob Zilla - Hellyeah/ Damageplan/ Nothinface
Tom Maxwell - Hellyeah/ Nothingface
Nick Bowcott - Grim Reaper
unknown drummer (Vinnie Paul?)
Song 2 - Pantera’s “A New Level”
Scott Ian - Anthrax
Max Cavallera - Soulfly/ Sepultura/ Cavellera Conspiracy
Nick Bowcott - Grim Reaper
King Diamond
unknown drummer (Vinnie Paul?)
Song 3 - Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here”
Scott Ian - Anthrax
Jerry Cantrell - Alice in Chains
Mike Inez - Alice in Chains
Pearl Aday - Neverland Express
Lars Ulrich - Metallica
Song 4 - Pantera’a “F***ing Hostile”
Kerry King - Slayer
Vinnie Paul Abbott - Pantera/ Damageplan/ Hell Yeah
Mike Inez - Alice in Chains
Chad Gray - Mudvayne/ Hell Yeah
I am glad I got the opportunity to shoot this, as it will be nearly impossible to get all these artists on the same stage again.
