Fan-filmed video footage of former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach performing a cover version of the PANTERA classic "Cemetery Gates" as a tribute to PANTERA members Vinnie Paul Abbott and "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott on July 2 at Foufounes Électriques in Montreal, Quebec, Canada can be seen below.

"I warm up my voice doing scales — all this boring vocal stuff — and they would warm up by doing 14 shots of Crown Royal [whisky]," he said. "'We're ready! Let's go!'"

"To have those crazy fuckers as my friends was something I will never forget," he said.
