Hard Rock and Metal legends to pay tribute to Dimebag

Past and present members of Kiss, Motorhead, Judas Priest, Slipknot, Pantera, Black Label Society and many other heavy rock acts will participate in an all-star jam honoring late Pantera and Damageplan guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott this Saturday (January 20th) at the Hilton Hotel's Pacific Ballroom in Anaheim, California. According to Blabbermouth.net, the musicians will perform three songs at the event, which is connected with the annual National Association of Music Merchandisers (NAMM) convention.

Among the musicians slated to appear are Slipknot's Paul Gray, Black Label Society's John Deservio and Nick Catanese, ex-Judas Priest singer Tim "Ripper" Owens, Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian, Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister, Kiss drummer Eric Singer and Abbott's brother, former Pantera and Damageplan drummer Vinnie Paul.

Many of the artists are also doing autograph sessions over the weekend at the NAMM show.

"Dimebag" Darrell was shot to death onstage in December of 2004.

Vinnie Paul has formed a new band called Hellyeah! with members of Mudvayne and Nothingface. Their debut album arrives in April.
