Damageplan was heralded before they even got on stage. The band lead by Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul (formely of Pantera) gave the crowd exactly what they wanted, another PANTERA!
Patrick Lachman, the bands frontman, is different from Phil Anselmo. However, he still has mannerisms like him. He is also a talented singer but his vocals were drowned out by the music. The crowd was obviously happy just to see Dimebag and Vinnie on stage again.
They do have a few great tunes such as "Save Me", "Reborn", and "New Found Power" but clearly the highlight of the night was when David, Mike and Danny from Disturbed, Trevor from Unearth and members of Drowning Pool joined them onstage for a rendition of Pantera's metal anthem "Walk".
There were other small highlights such as Dimebag passing out shots of Jägermeister to his fellow bandmates as well as his own ten to fifteen minute guitar solo but, if Damageplan is going to escape the memories and comaparisons of Vinnie and Dimebag's former band then they have a little ways to go.
