DIMEBAG: 'He Came To Rock' Photo Book Details Revealed - Oct. 7, 2008
Former PANTERA and current HELLYEAH drummer Vinnie Paul will publish a paperback photo book/DVD on his late brother, PANTERA guitarist
"Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, on November 18 via Vinnie's Big Vin label. Entitled "He Came To Rock", the book will contain over 400 pictures of
Dimebag along with a biography of his life written by authors Susan Doll and David Morrow ("Elvis, Forever In The Groove", "Marilyn Monroe:
Her Life And Legend"). Also included will be personal tributes from a number of metal's most prominent musicians, among them SLAYER's
Kerry King, ANTHRAX's Scott Ian and OZZY OSBOURNE/BLACK LABEL SOCIETY's Zakk Wylde. The DVD portion of the package will
consist of the previously released "DimeVision - Vol 1: That's The Fun I Have", complete with never-before-seen bonus footage.
The book was compiled by Vinnie and his father Jerry Abbott and has been in the works for more than a year. "We are very excited about
this as it's a true tribute to the King himself!" Vinnie previously stated.
"Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was shot to death along with three others during a DAMAGEPLAN performance at the Alrosa Villa nightclub in
Columbus, Ohio on December 8, 2004.
Dimebag was posthumously inducted into the Hollywood RockWalk last May in a ceremony attended by Vinnie Paul, their father Jerry Abbott
and Dimebag's longtime girlfriend, Rita Haney, along with members of ALICE IN CHAINS, ANTHRAX, KISS, SLAYER and Ozzy Osbourne's
band.
A bronze bust of Dimebag was unveiled during the ceremony and later installed on the RockWalk's posthumous inductee wall, alongside
luminaries such as Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix and Robert Johnson.
A special one-time only all-star tribute to the fallen guitarist and Texas native was held on August 9, 2008 at the one-day Ozzfest at
Dallas' Pizza Hut Park. The tribute to "Dimebag" Darrell featured Vinnie Paul (acting as musical director and playing drums), along with an
array of prominent hard rockers, including HATEBREED's Jamey Jasta, SLAYER's Kerry King, SOULFLY's Max Cavalera, King Diamond,
ANTHRAX's Scott Ian, ALICE IN CHAINS' Jerry Cantrell and METALLICA's Lars Ulrich. (Courtesy of BLABBERMOUTH.net)
