Anthrax Remember Dimebag

12/08/2011
. (Rock News Desk) Anthrax bassist Frank Bello has hailed Dimebag Darrell Abbott as the sixth member of the thrash band.

Dime was shot dead on stage on December 8, 2004, and the tragedy was a double-blow for Bello, whose brother was murdered in 1996. The crime was never solved.

The Pantera guitarist played on three Anthrax albums and the band's new release includes a track called In The End, which pays tribute to him. "We were so close to him � he was one of us. Dimebag was the sixth member of Anthrax. I thought paying tribute to him in song was a great idea," Bello tells Revolver. "I lost a brother 13 years ago. Then to have Dimebag go in such a bad, traumatic way� He was like a brother to me." more on this story
