Disrespect Dimebag?

05/08/06
. (Blabbermouth) ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian has commented on the "controversy" surrounding a recently published Internet interview with ANTHRAX guitarist Dan Spitz in which Spitz appeared to insinuate that late PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott "copied" his leads for ANTHRAX's "Stomp 442" record... In a posting on ANTHRAX's official forum (where he posts under the name "Black Thirteen"), Ian stated about the interview (which was published on the Metal-Rules.com web site), "He [Dan Spitz] claims it's bulls***. I hope it is. We are in the process of getting the tapes. Innocent until proven guilty. Truth will prevail. It has to because these statements are inexcusable. If he said it, or if this writer did just make it up, out of all of it; saying that Darrell copied the leads, taking credit away from what was unique to Darrell, that is beyond low. Disrespect Darrell's legacy? No, not on my watch."[see full story for more, Scott has a funny follow up] - Click here for the Full Story
