My favorite acoustic duo, RODRIGO Y GABRIELA is set to release a new CD entitled "11:11", on September 8 through ATO Records. This gets me quite excited. The band just posted a tribute song they wrote for Dimebag Darrell and features a special appearance by TESTAMENT guitarist Alex Skolnick. The band released this quote about the song…
Alex came to our studio in Mexico to lay down his incredible solo on 'Atman'. Atman is a Sanskrit word meaning the only deathless part of the human being. This song is for 'Dimebag' Darrell — metal guitar god and former member of PANTERA. Dimebag was shot dead on stage while performing with his last band, DAMAGEPLAN, at a venue in Columbus, Ohio in 2004. He influenced and inspired a whole new generation of guitarists around the world — his legacy is as endless as his memory is within us.
