Leave it Alone

Leave it Alone is the first track to be released from the up-coming memorial disc honoring the legendary Dimebag Darrell Abbott. The incredible story of Darrell's life and death is well known and tributes were given to him at the benefit show in Chicago as well as the Rock Walk induction in LA. Unfortunately, not everyone who wanted to participate in those events was able to at the time. We all wanted to do something to honor Darrell.

 

     This song is our way of contributing to the same giving spirit and legacy that Darrell was all about. We want to continue the movement of selfless sharing that he started and lived by. This is our chance to "pay it forward" so to speak.

 

     Friends and colleagues joined together to celebrate Dimebag's life rather than mourn his loss. Jason Bittner - Tristan '1690' Grigsby - Dave Ellefson - Tim 'Ripper' Owens - Nick Bowcott. Each of us had our own time and connection with the Legend. Dave performed with PanterA many times starting at the beginning of their career. 1690 was there with PanterA in their early club days, where they formed a friendship, and played alongside Darrell through the years. Jason toured with Dime during the Damageplan days. Tim crossed paths with the Idol while fronting Judas Priest. Nick was a long time friend , having shared management when he was in Grim Reaper and also through their dealings via Guitar World magazine. Because of the legendary and countless stories of the influence and inspiration to his fans, it was impossible to do this without including them as well. So, this may be the first memorial track to include a performance by a fan; Brian Cashmore.

     Leave it Alone was done for Dimebag Darrell Abbott with respect and love. Everyone involved invested their sincere desire to pay tribute to Darrell and gave their blood, hearts and spirit to making something our brother could be proud of.

 

     Leave it Alone is available for download exclusively via iTunes with all the proceeds going to Little Kids Rock, in Darrell's name.

     Little Kids Rock believes that all children in our public schools deserve music education as music education is a transforming force in children's lives. Dimebag had the same philosophy with always sharing his passion and love of music to the world inspiring kids to pick up a guitar.
