The Pantera
connection was
more
complicated
and stemmed
from a darker
place.
Chad
became friends
with drummer
Vinnie Paul and
the late guitarist
Dimebag Darrell while on tour with Jerry Cantrell, and
wound up working with Dimebag on a cover of Elton John’s
“Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting,” which appeared on
the “Charlie’s Angels” soundtrack.
After the legendary
guitarist was shot and killed onstage, a devastated Kroeger
wrote an aggressive song called “Side of a Bullet,” as a
lasting tribute to his friend.
“After I put the song together, I
really wanted Vinnie’s blessing,” Kroeger says.
“So, I called
him up and played the track for him over the phone.
He
said, ‘I’d love to have you do a song about my brother.
’
Vinnie then sent some guitar outtakes and we pieced
together a solo and put it on the song.
The result is a new
Dimebag Darrel solo.
” “Side of a Bullet” is just one of the
many tracks on All The Right Reasons that’s rife with
compelling narrative.
