That's the thing, she investigated the name on the Epiphone. Another person could just see the name and didn't care about it, or even worse, recognize the name and try to sell it.
There was also a pretty hefty reward for finding them. I want to say it was like $3000? While I'm happy for Robb, I doubt her motives were completely altruistic.
It's a win win situation really as a musician myself I'd just want tickets to the show and show support to Robb by buying Machine Merch out the ass but as a person who may not be into that his thanks and if he insisted on giving said reward I'd take it. If it were me who had my precious item such as this stolen and not knowing 100% if I'd EVER see it again especially somebody who looked up Dimebag Darrell and seen that guitar and decided to hold it hostage for the highest bidder if they said "Hey dude I have your guitar", I'd be in eternal debt to them
You can't put a price on that, faith in humanity is some what restored. That guitar Dime gave him must mean the world to him, that is beyond priceless.
Probably not since she couldn't make out Robb's signature on the back of the Epiphone prototype, but I was thinking the exact same thing. I know that's what I would want :)
Few people would care to return the guitar. Most would keep it or sell it. Goes to show that there are good people out there after all. She's definitely one of them! ❤
Well I have nothing against Rob but who do you want to play Pantera song as guitarist except Zakk Wylde?(as people say, I think nobody can do it) Not many heavy metal bands have a single guitarist and be so aggresive and make epic solo's..
Wow that's awesome and very kind for her, any chance you can find out who ever owned that storage unit? It could be a possible lead to the other guitars.
I owned one of the first 100 Washburn USA Dime Blackjacks ever made...got stolen from me in Columbus, Ohio. Wound up on Reverb.com and they REFUSED to help me get it back. I had a police report and everything. It's #62. Dime gave it to Bill Foley at the German Village Music Haus here in Columbus and it became my 18th Birthday present back in '98. I look every couple of months online for it and found it once...but Reverb really let me down. I contacted the seller, proved it was mine and he deleted the listing like a coward! Hopefully, that guitar makes it way back to me. It meant the world to me! Very glad to see that Robb got his back! What a great story!!
Nice to see Robb reunited with the Dime guitar. From the stories of how he originally got that guitar and the relationship he had with Dimebage, it's fitting he's got that guitar back. Awesome story!
amazing ... so happy about that . i got a dime on my pc wallpaper holding a guitar smiling. everytime i learn a new solo or do cool sh1t i always look up and see his big grin of approval.... miss dime man
I lost my black 1987-88 Ibanez SdGR 1000 to a storage unit auction (fell on hard times). It's a japan manufactured sort of prototype phase to the model released in 1990. It was black, with gold hardware and the guts wired to be passive (long story). There was a pot leaf decal in the center of the knobs and selector switch. Figured I would throw this out to as many places as possible ... maybe some day it will turn up. That bass saw a lot of action in the Brooklyn Hardcore scene and opened for every known band from that era.
If it was a storage locker, does the company not have records of the previous customer that was renting it? Surely through that, they can trace who was in possession of the guitars before and follow the trail back to the other 2 guitars? Jesus, the feeling Rob must have had to get that back.
Those are some seriously kickass guitars. Glad you got those gems back. I don't know how someone could just abandon those things in a storage locker like that.
Wow! What a gal! If it were me... I'd never have even thought to check if the stuff was stolen. I'd have just been SOOO stoked to score one of the sickest axes out!
I hope you gave her some kind of reward, gift or something, that was very kind of her. Bless her! And this is btw a very underrated channel, I wish more bands would upload these kinda things on youtube.
There was a 3 grand reward up. I assume she went home with full pockets. She deserves lifetime VIP tickets to MH as well if she's a fan - those guitars were priceless.
That's so fucking awesome! I'm glad you got those guitars back Rob. I only just heard about this, in your interview on "Coffee with Ola." There's nothing worse for a musician than having their gear stolen, especially when they're an important piece of history with such sentimental value. Congratulations brother 🤘
oh shit! I cant believe he got his bolt back!!! That's fucking awesome! Good looking out, lady. I don't know why, but seeing Robb got his guitar back after all these years, just made my week. I'm stoked for him. You can see how happy Robb is. Keeping it real with that cheesy ass grin. I'm sure i'd be shedding a little man tear when I got that email with the pic if I were him. Probably Dime himself looking out for him, as Robb has come to be a pretty badass ambassador of metal.
I absolutely love and respect honest true people. It's people like her that I truly admire and look up to. I've had a few incidents where people have returned property I had lost In the streets back to me like a wallet or a cellphone and it made such an impression on me that i made it a point to not only admire them but to be like them. Now a dimebag guitar that was personally given to Flynn from the guitar God himself and then stolen (tragic) and now found & given back. Now that's a reunion. Hey Rob I hope you gave her a pair of tickets to your next show, I know I would of , Machinehead Rules #1
So happy for the general to get two of his axes back. And what a lady for returning them to their rightful owner.. especially the dimebag one for obvious reasons. Best reward she could get is to get a vip backstage pass to a evening with machine head. something like that you know. its only been a month or so since they were here in manchester england..and i want them back already.. machine fucking head 4 life.
Honestly, I wouldn't want a reward or anything because that guitar on its own has so much meaning to him and is a treasure. I'd be extremely happy to return something that means so much to somebody, especially when it was personally given by somebody who was near and dear to a late friend.
I had my guitar stolen as well dime shadow with the black tooth graphics on it. it was about 6 months and I got mine back very cool story with that dime bolt
as much as the phil response pissed me off this brought a tear to my eye. so happy you got this axe back. Im willing to bet the chills she was getting was Dime's hands. Plug that thing in, turn it to 11 and rip shit up.
being 45 not a long time machine head fan. pine knob... u know. having my guitar auto'd 92 by dimez n band. he loved my guitar n remembered me without my guitar I knew dimebag was really a fans fan. not some unreal rock star. Robb.... too cool brother. Darrell is talking. We are listening. harpos machine shop.... pine knob (dte) freedom hill we will be there. hope it was spiritual to play it let alone have it back in your hands. much love
hahah funny :) yeah i took some time off to see whats going on youtube and to stalk my friend Rob who is so stoked about getting his Dime razor back, yet he said he will never again play any Pantera song till he lives. Might as well give that guitar back to that lady along with 3K finders fee. Makes sense no.
I've been watching old Pantera videos for the past few weeks and it was making me think how much of a vital person Dimebag was to creating the way modern metal bands sound. I don't believe in any spirituality or supernatural force but I feel like this is a nod from Dimebag to Machine Head to make another incredible record, Bloodstones and Diamonds is one of their best records and I think Machine Head could make another masterpiece like The Blackening! Gechta' Pull 🤘
Cool congrats on getting two of four back. That's the first series of Washburn 333 model's which where abit different because it doesn't have 333 on truss cover later models had it. I owned a Blackjack model which was pretty sick after I put two bill lawerence 500xl's in it.
My respect to that woman. Another person could just kept those guitars.
i mean, the woman find out they where robbed, most of the people wouldn't even know
That's the thing, she investigated the name on the Epiphone. Another person could just see the name and didn't care about it, or even worse, recognize the name and try to sell it.
There was also a pretty hefty reward for finding them. I want to say it was like $3000? While I'm happy for Robb, I doubt her motives were completely altruistic.

Don't let the media fool you. Most people are good. Most people won't look for trouble etc.
Dime works in mysterious ways....
Mark EM Duuuuude you made me cry
I can testify this :) he truly does work behind the veil
Dime is dead and can't do anything.
You can't put a price on that, faith in humanity is some what restored. That guitar Dime gave him must mean the world to him, that is beyond priceless.
I wonder if shes a machine head fan.That woman deserves a free vip backstage pass to see MH live and maybe a round of applause from the crowd.
#BanNeb
Oh and the manatee can go fuck himself
+ThePunisherGlen You cant ban me.
Probably not since she couldn't make out Robb's signature on the back of the Epiphone prototype, but I was thinking the exact same thing. I know that's what I would want :)
haha I wondered the same thing. just judging by her appearance I would've said there's a 50/50 chance of her being a MH fan.
poopballs
That's an act of dime right there!
What a kind and thoughtful lady, hope Rob rewarded her well!!
Few people would care to return the guitar. Most would keep it or sell it. Goes to show that there are good people out there after all. She's definitely one of them! ❤
This is one of the coolest stories EVER! This woman is an angel!!
Too bad a Pantera song will never be played on it again.
Sad eh?
I'm sure Rob can play a Pantera song on it.
Rob said he will never play a Pantera song because Phil ''White power'' call at dimebash
Well I have nothing against Rob but who do you want to play Pantera song as guitarist except Zakk Wylde?(as people say, I think nobody can do it) Not many heavy metal bands have a single guitarist and be so aggresive and make epic solo's..

That was too....punny...

no fun intended
wouldn't that be robb robbing someone? so... close, but no!
Now that’s gotta be one of the most awesome videos I’ve seen in a long time on here!! Congrats to both of you!! Dime was looking out!!🙏🏻🤘🏻
Rob Flynn, you are a Fucking singer and Charismatic leader !!! Respect from Paris.
Small advice.
Show pictures of the remaining 2 stolen guitars.
you can find them online easy.
the pics. lol.
not the actual missing guitars.
@charlesledezma8704 there is pictures of missing guitars which rob posted
Good to hear! My guitar is my most precious possession.. so this makes me really happy for you, Rob!
"I will never play another Pantera song again"
3 years later plays Pantera song
"If there's somebody out there" Ahaha, that was funny Flynn :')
congratulation bro.. dime is still there..
More proof that as long as people keep listening to pantera dime will never leave us..!!!
Wow that's awesome and very kind for her, any chance you can find out who ever owned that storage unit? It could be a possible lead to the other guitars.
Really damn cool story. So glad to see that Dimebag guitar pop back up in the music world. R.I.P. Dime.
Very cool. Thanks to the woman that helped re-unite the guitars back to Robb. That Dime guitar is badass.

did you get it??
@@MUCKFOOT666 Nope. Reverb didn't help me at all.

How cool is that. 7 yrs later I’m watching this.
Nice to see Robb reunited with the Dime guitar. From the stories of how he originally got that guitar and the relationship he had with Dimebage, it's fitting he's got that guitar back. Awesome story!
amazing ... so happy about that .

Too fucking cool!!! Horns up to that!!! There is still hope for us. Thank you to that wonderful woman for returning Robb's guitars!
If it was a storage locker, does the company not have records of the previous customer that was renting it? Surely through that, they can trace who was in possession of the guitars before and follow the trail back to the other 2 guitars? Jesus, the feeling Rob must have had to get that back.
If they did it probably wouldn't have gone up for auction.
Great news!! And a great bit of detective work by the fantastic young lady!!!
I remember your post when they got taken. And your thoughts on the neighborhood. Good for you man! And thanks for aharing the good mood!
Too cool Rob!😎🤘 I'm glad you got some of your guitars back! Very cool the way it happened too!! Put a smile on my face just watching it!!😁
If my Dimebag 333 got stolen, I'd be devastated, and it isn't even signed or anything. I'm glad you got your axe back. That is such a solid guitar.
Was it really 6 years ago, man time flies! I'm so happy you got those two back!
Those are some seriously kickass guitars. Glad you got those gems back. I don't know how someone could just abandon those things in a storage locker like that.
I remember hearing about this a few years ago, im glad to hear you got a couple of them back!!!
Being from Dime yeah that's a precious keepsake. Glad you got it back finally Robb!!
Wow! What a gal!
If it were me... I'd never have even thought to check if the stuff was stolen. I'd have just been SOOO stoked to score one of the sickest axes out!
That's amazing! Dimebag must have been looking out for you for sure Robb!
I hope you gave her some kind of reward, gift or something, that was very kind of her. Bless her!
And this is btw a very underrated channel, I wish more bands would upload these kinda things on youtube.
There was a 3 grand reward up. I assume she went home with full pockets. She deserves lifetime VIP tickets to MH as well if she's a fan - those guitars were priceless.
That's good to hear, I'll bet both of them are pretty satisfied with the outcome either way.
glad you were able to get these items back. hope the rest of the make their way back to you!
WOW man, that is fucking epic! So glad this was returned! I hope you write a song for that lady lol seriously. Holy shit!
Absolutely,totally respect to this woman,the other two guitars are missing thou,but I really liked Robb
Flynn's smile there!
It's great being reminded how awesome humans are, and they don't really suck as much as we often think.....this lady rocks!
Truly awesome! Glad you got it back Robb!
Amazing Story and congrats to get them back ....some stuff is just priceless and that Dimebag Guitar certainly is a grail piece. God bless bro
This is a awesome story, great that you got it back Robb!
i'm glad that there are still sincere and fair people out there! props to holly :)
Crazy story and really makes me wonder if it really is just a coincidence. Props to her for reaching out!
This is the best thing ever! Good things do happen to people who deserve them! All praise to Holly!
That's so fucking awesome!
I'm glad you got those guitars back Rob. I only just heard about this, in your interview on "Coffee with Ola."
There's nothing worse for a musician than having their gear stolen, especially when they're an important piece of history with such sentimental value.

That's great, hopefully you'll find the other two.

And what a lady for returning them to their rightful owner..

something like that you know.
its only been a month or so since they were here in manchester england..and i want them back already..

How the hell does someone dislike this?!!?
Probably the guy who stole them
The fuckers who stole them
I disliked this video
Because I pushed the dislike button...
Bc Rob is a whiny little twat? That's why I did it.
When you said it was one of Dime's guitars, ohhh... That's more than priceless. Looks in great condition, too.
man.. I hope you hooked that lady up. what a God send! that just gave me a little more hope for humanity man. awesome!
Robb Flynn, you need to record a few songs on this guitar!! In the world there are villains, but the good kind people over! Have nice day!
Excellent story! Now for a celebration, let's reform Vio-lence and stil keep MH going. You're going to be busy and make many people very happy!
I had my guitar stolen as well dime shadow with the black tooth graphics on it. it was about 6 months and I got mine back very cool story with that dime bolt

Way cool, congrats on getting those axes back.
YES! I'm so happy to hear this

THis is why you should always write your name on your belongings :P
as much as the phil response pissed me off this brought a tear to my eye. so happy you got this axe back. Im willing to bet the chills she was getting was Dime's hands. Plug that thing in, turn it to 11 and rip shit up.
That's so awesome! Glad sometimes in life things do work out.
Really awesome!!! Good to know it's back to right hands where it belongs!
That's fucking insane! So happy to see that those have found you, Dime's got your back

As much as I dislike Pantera, that is a treasure of a guitar to be returned. Glad you got it back mang
Why do you dislike pantera? It isn't because phill goes a bit racist when he is drunk lol that was a joke btw
hahah funny :) yeah i took some time off to see whats going on youtube and to stalk my friend Rob who is so stoked about getting his Dime razor back, yet he said he will never again play any Pantera song till he lives. Might as well give that guitar back to that lady along with 3K finders fee. Makes sense no.
Respect dear lady! Respect as big as out galaxy and more.

That is so awesome man. I love that Epiphone, I hope it becomes a signature guitar. I would own one for sure
Wow. Incredible story!

Congrats on getting your guitars back, Robb. But the hunt continues...
What a lovely story!!!
