Nickelback track ‘Side Of A Bullet’.As reported by Guitar World, Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger once played the track, which appears on the band’s fifth studio album ‘For All The Right Reasons’, to Dimebag’s brother, Vinnie Paul, asking if the Pantera drummer would redo the drum parts.
While he declined, he suggested the Canadian band use some of Dimebag’s unused material instead.The two groups had a close friendship and ‘Side Of A Bullet’ was written from the lyrical perspective of a Pantera fan seeking revenge for Dimebag’s death.With permission from Dimebag’s girlfriend Rita Haney, Nickelback were sent a number of solo outtakes from Pantera’s albums ‘Vulgar Display Of Power’ and ‘Far Beyond Driven’.“They were our brothers,” bassist Mike Kroeger said in a previous interview (via Guitar World). “And then when Dime was murdered, we wanted to pay tribute to him.
We were able to get some of his unused solos and a few other bits of his playing that we would actually lay into the track… It was a really special thing for us.”Nickelback and Pantera first met in 2002, when they were introduced by Alice In Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell.“A lot of people didn’t like the fact that they were friends with us, or fans of our music,” Kroeger continued.
