Vincent Paul Abbott, also known as "Vinnie Paul" (born on March 11, 1964 in Abilene, Texas, USA) is a heavy metal drummer and producer who is currently a member of supergroup Hellyeah, but is best known for being a member, and co-founder, of the heavy metal band Pantera. He also co-founded the heavy metal band Damageplan in 2003 with his late younger brother, Dimebag Darrell.
Vinnie Paul is the son of Carolyn and Jerry Abbott, a country music songwriter and producer. He recorded and performed in the groups Pantera and Damageplan alongside his late brother, guitarist Dimebag Darrell.
In December 2008, he handpicked several of his most memorable drum parts to demonstrate in a promotional video for the drum company: "Use My Third Arm", "Primal Concrete Sledge," "13 Steps to Nowhere", "Domination" and "Becoming".
Vinnie Paul formed the heavy metal band Pantera in 1981 with his brother Dimebag Darrell (then known as Diamond Darrell) and Terry Glaze on guitars, bassist Tommy D. Bradford, and vocalist Donnie Hart. Upon Hart's departure, Glaze assumed vocal duties. In the summer of 1982, Bradford left the band and was replaced by Rex Brown and the band released three albums with that lineup.
Steel Panther is a band from Los Angeles, California mostly known for their profane and humorous lyrics as well as their exaggerated on-stage personas that reimagine and parody the glam metal music and lifestyle of the 1980s. Formed in 2000, the band has formerly been known as Danger Kitty, Metal Shop and Metal Skool. Steel Panther is one of the most popular bands out of Hollywood since Motley Crue, Guns N’ Roses and Poison were the main focus the Sunset Strip in the mid to late 1980's. Arriving in 2009 with debut album Feel The Steel, hailed by Kerrang! magazine as “close to perfect”, Steel Panther has won a legion of fans across the world. And now the band is aiming even higher with second album Balls Out.
The band broke through the mainstream success with their 2009 album Feel the Steel, especially with the single "Death to All but Metal". "The Aldo Nova song "Fantasy" was remade by the band into a faster paced song for the MTV original series Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory. The remake was released on iTunes on December 8, 2009 and their album Feel the Steel was released in June 2009.

Genres: Music,Do you know I saw you yesterday,
Please don't explain,
cos I know what you're going to say.
I might be dumb but I'm not blind,
How many times do you have to lie,
Before it breaks us in two.
and because of my better judgement,
huh, I decided to let it pass,
But now I just can't entertain it,
So baby move your ass.
Good luck next time.
It's over,
It's over again,
And baby that's why,
It's true,
I cannot deny.
And now I am so sorry to say that's the last time,
you treat me that way.
You said I was a loser!
I didn't have a clue,
but I got smart,
and I got rid of you.
I might be young but I am wise,
So please don't bother to justify,
I can't take this shit no more.
And because of my better judgement,
I couldn't let it pass,
You know I just won't entertain you,
so baby move your ass.
