Machine Head: ”Vinnie Paul inspiroi bändiämme tyylillään ja upealla soundillaan”
Panterasta ja Hellyeahista tutun rumpalin Vinnie Paul Abbottin kuolema on koskettanut monia muusikoita fanien ohella, ja sosiaalinen media onkin täyttynyt bändien ja artistien julkaisemista osaanotoista ja muistosta. Machine Head julkaisi eilen kuvagallerian seuraavalla viestillä, jossa kerrotaan miehen inspiroineen bändiä tyylillään ja upealla soundillaan:
”Vinnie Paul inspired our band with his amazing style, incredible sound, and mostly his always friendly, good-time attitude. Machine Head was fortunate to tour with Vinnie 3 times (twice with Pantera, and again with Hell Yeah, Dave toured with him a 4th time in Sacred Reich on the “Vulgar” tour), numerous hangs at festivals in Japan, Australia, and the UK, and far too many blurry nights at the Clubhouse in Dallas.
He was always ready for a rage, always with a smile, and ALWAYS ready with a shot of Crown or Skyy Vodka. Vinnie even played “Halo” with us helping out his friend Dave when his mom passed away on tour. He practiced all day to learn the song and his dedication showed in his performance.
Rest In Peace Vinnie Paul, you are gone far too soon.”
