An unreleased guitar solo by the late "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott will appear on a new Nickelback song that was written as a tribute to the guitarist.

"I was very upset, and for two months, if I saw his picture somewhere I would get angry," frontman Chad Kroeger told MTV.com of his motivation for writing the song. "I hadn't lost somebody to a shooting before."

Kroeger wrote lyrics from the perspective of a Pantera fan so angered over Dimebag's murder that he vows revenge, not realizing the shooter had already been killed by a policeman.

Kroeger and Dimebag actually recorded together once before for the soundtrack to Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. They both appear on a cover of Elton John's "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting," along with Kid Rock.

"That was the first time I appeared on a record with Dime, and now this," said Kroeger. "I just wish this wasn't the way it had to happen."

Oh Chad…
