Robert 'Bob' Kakaha, also known as Bobzilla (born March 5, 1970 in Los Angeles) is the bassist for the American rock band Hush Money, best known as the former bassist for heavy metal band Damageplan and heavy metal supergroup Hellyeah.
Robert Kakaha, born on March 5, 1970, met Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott through tattooing.
He was raised in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles. He now is a resident of Dallas, Texas where he played with the rap rock band Hellafied Funk Crew and the band Shadow Reichenstein, and Vanilla Ice.
In 2003, The Abbott Brothers formed the heavy metal band Damageplan, after Pantera's breakup. Kakaha played bass, and former Halford guitarist Patrick Lachman on vocals. Damageplan recorded one album, New Found Power, which was released in February 2004. On December 8, 2004, Dimebag Darrell was shot onstage by former US marine named Nathan Gale in Damageplan's tour at Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio. Damageplan was split up after the death of Dimebag Darrell.
Kakaha joined Hellyeah after Jerry Montano was dismissed from the band for violent behavior. Kakaha was brought in to play bass guitar on tour for all of 2007.
On February 13, 2014, it was announced that Kakaha had parted ways with the band.
In January 2015, Kakaha joined Hush Money, an American rock band from Dallas, Texas.
