The F@cking Pantera Cover Band

Atlanta’s premier Pantera tribute act, the F@cking Pantera Cover Band, lays waste to the Masquerade while paying homage to the original Cowboy From Hell, Darrell Abbott. Abbott, aka Dimebag Darrell, who was the lead guitarist and founding member of Texas headbangers Pantera and Damageplan, was gunned down by a deranged fan on a Columbus, OH stage in December 2004. His legacy as one of the driving forces behind groove metal lives on. For this show, the Masquerade also hosts a guitar solo competition with a $250 cash prize for the he, or she, who shreds meaner and harder than the rest. $12-$15. 7 p.m. (doors) Fri., Feb. 23. Masquerade, 75 MLK Jr. Drive SW. 404-577-8178. www.masq.com.
