Korn guitarist writes song for Dimebag

Former Korn guitarist Brian Welch is self-releasing a solo album, one track of which is dedicated to the murdered Dimebag Darrell Abbott.

Former Korn guitarist, Brian Welch, who quit the band last year to spend more time being a Christian, is to self-release a solo album, and one of the tracks on it is dedicated to murdered Pantera/Damageplan guitarist 'Dimebag' Darrell Abbott.

Welch wrote on his website: "It is called, "A Letter To Dimebag. It is written in guitar language, and I did it because he used to tell me we needed to put guitar solo's in Korn. So, this song's for him, and to him. It's saying how much I miss him. Even though we weren't too close, his very friendly personality had a great impact on me!"

On the self-release, he continued: "I'm gonna finish my record quick and then sell it on my website. That way, there are no hands on the money that I make, so I can give it back to my people by building something positive, like a skatepark or something."
