Vincent Paul Abbott

Rock Musician, Songwriter, Producer. He formed Pantera alongside his brother, guitar virtuoso "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and bassist Rex Brown in 1981. Following Pantera, the Abbott Brothers formed Damageplan and released 2004's New Found Power, but that band's tenure was tragically cut short when Dimebag was shot and killed onstage by a deranged fan in December 2004. Two years after the death of his brother, Paul returned to music with the metal supergroup Hellyeah, which featured Mudvayne singer Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett and Nothingface guitarist Tom Maxwell and bassist Jerry Montano; Paul's Damageplan bandmate Bob Zilla ultimately replaced Montano on bass. The supergroup released five albums together over the past decade, most recently 2016's Undenable.
