Hey heads up I keep smashing the like button and it would make the click sound but would not register as a like??? 😮
@BerserkersBattle-816 TH-cam up to its old shenanigans lol. Thank you for smashing it man 🤘🤘
Great vid, but just one correction, the schizo believed pantera stole his thoughts and used them for their success, that was the sole reasoning for what he did. Nothing to do with the breakup of the band or anything Phil did or said. Rock on brother🫡🤘🙏
@ManiacsSon thanks man - definitely makes sense. Either way - out of all the videos I've done this has been the hardest one to do, such a senseless act. RIP Dime 🤘🤘
One of my best memories from the 90s was Dime handing me a draft beer down from the stage from the headstock of his blue lightning Kiss dean..Then I got a pick..That's the perks of going to the show early.Saw Pantera 4 times in the 90s and they have topped every other concert I have been to and I go to alot.
“The Dean from Hell”
I saw that exact moment in a video i saw here on YT Pretty freakin' rad dude! What a legend.
He was an original & a legend also musical genius.
Watch the peoria illinois shows they are badass.
Sure pal 👌🏻
What really made him so great is he was influenced by other guitarists but he didn’t try to be them. Too many imitators nowadays.
Agreed 100%
There's an 'intellectual honesty' influence takes, in my opinion. Doing the dew is something you need to have learned to do, and too many people get caught up in learning to do, i assume. Doing the dew is love and light. Learning to do is tedious
@@dsxa918I agree whole heartedly. I'm the type of person who can emulate what I've learned, and learn tons of things. However, I'm not creative or ground breaking(like Dime). I have the ability to see the genius, just not create it.
It's being caught up with tone chasing. All the signature guitars and amps create a distraction from people finding their own sound.
TBF, Dime absolutely imitated other guitarists, from Van Halen to Exhorder.. He really didn't go in his own direction until Far Beyond Driven and Trendkill.
RIP Dime and Vinny
Us teenagers of the late 80’s early 90’s were definitely spoiled with some of the greatest music ever written. It hasn’t been the same since.
Oh man you said it perfectly - we came up with the good stuff! RIP Abbott brothers 🤘🤘
I remember the first time I heard CFH. Mind. Blown. 🤯 Didn't discover the early stuff until late last year. Bought all first 4 releases from a seller on eBay. They're bootleg copies from Italy. 🤘🤘
@metalheadrelic9873 pretty cool! Their sound was a lot different
@@metalheadrelic9873 better late than never. 🤘
Great time to be a teenagers into metal music.
Dime literally died doing what he loved more than anything. He is the best guitarist to ever live. It's crazy when I think about dime,I still get sad all these years later.
Exactly - that's what made this one the hardest one to do.
@guitarmeetsscience I can't ever get people to agree with me that dime was the greatest to ever do it which is crazy to me. Being a self taught guitarist myself,I can see things that other people don't and that man was a guitar god. I can't imagine what could be if dime was never assassinated and Pantera got back together.
@coreymcmanus4749 well, there's a lot of complexity with that. So many different criteria, and moving parts. A guitar player that resonates really deeply with one person may not resonate at all with another. However I could also say that there are a lot of people out there that feel the same exact way that you do about dime. And whether people are fans of him or not, they can all easily agree that what happened to him was tragic and never should have occurred. Of all consensus I have seen on here, everybody I've come across know deep down the he is a true legend of the instrument.
It is so sad what happened to all these innocent people. Still after 20 years when I am reminded of that tragic day we all heard about and saw, I still get emotional. Back in 1992 I met Dime Bag after he and Pantera got off the stage behind the Roseland club in NYC on the street hanging out with me and another fan. When out of nowhere a homeless man ask us if he could have some money to buy some food. Dime Bag was the first one to put his hands in his pocket and gave the homeless man money to go buy food. Because that's the kind of man Dime Bag was, and I never forgot that. In life it is the small things that tells you the true character of a person. And Dime Bag was truly a great person.
Man that is such a freaking touching story. Yep, that is Dime for you.... Such a cool fun-loving humble dude. Such a freaking loss. It is really cool that you had the opportunity to meet him, definitely once in a lifetime opportunity. This was the hardest video I've done - just covering those last moments that were completely senseless. Words cannot describe it. Thanks for sharing that story - totally inspiring!
Still cant believe hes been gone for 20 years this year now.
One of my all time greatest influences growing up, been playing since the age of 11 and I'm 35 now.
As a native Texan his passing hit home something hard and fierce.
He was an all around nice, giving, compassionate man, and absolutely cared about his fans.
Darrell is by far one of my most prolific guitarists of all time. Darrell had a style all of his own that cannot be recreated by any means. Most guitarists like to use tube amps, he ripped and tore the guitar game apart with pure solid state, which hadn't been prominent until then.
RIP Darrell Lance Abbott🤘💯🕊
We love and miss you dearly
Exactly! That guy was so full of life and really was awesome to everybody around him. Not to mention he played the living hell out of the guitar, and I like the fact that he didn't just buy into the whole tube hype. A lot of people bash his tone, but honestly - the dude sounded awesome always. RIP Dime🤘🤘
My first concert was Pantera, Sepultura, and Prong. At that time I had only known the music of my parents. Such as The Carpenters, Neil Diamond, DooWop and my moms Thai music.
After that first concert, my Pops bought me Led Zeppelin, Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, ZZ Top... and then it was Alice in Chains and Faith No More.
I am so grateful my parents gave me music.
Wow - your musical upbringing hit the ultimate extreme really quick! That's awesome man!!!
Dime tore it up on those early cds. He got bluesier over time. Such a great player.
Eddie pulled the absolute class act with giving him the original 💜 RIP to greatest guitarists that ever lived
Eddie was such a central figure in music.RIP 🤘🤘
You know Dime was looking down saying “fuck yeah man. Ild gladly take that bullet again for King Edward’s guitar” 😂😂😂😂. Glad I got to hang out and get high with him a few times.
I was like 16 when he died, had been playing guitar for a few years at that point in large part because of his influence. Rest in peace Abbott Brothers
Best quote about DIME ever! "Dimes guitar solos WERE the fire hazard" - love it -RIP Dimebag
Haha thanks bro!!! Pure fire hazard all the way 🤘🤘 Great channel name by the way.... Bill w rocks!
Dimebag was the best blend of EVH, Randy Rhodes, Ace Frehley, and Tony Iommi, and I think Pantera the best blend of Sabbath, Van Halen, and Slayer with a sprinkle of Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top too! Lol Thanks again for the guitar gear/studio talk, Dimebag had the best metal guitar sound ever to me, brutal!
That's a great description of Dime right there! I could definitely hear all the influences you mentioned in his playing, and the band is well! No doubt those influences all worked their way in. Thanks for the kind words man - I'm glad you dug it 🤘🤘
Dimebag is definetely one of my fav guitar players ever. May he be rocking as hard as can be wherever his soul went
Still remember exactly where I was in 2004 when I heard the news. RIP Dime your music will live on forever
Same! I didn't... and still don't watch the news or listen to mainstream radio. A coworker showed up and came directly to me with the news because he knew Dime was my favorite guitarist. It was the saddest day I remember ever having.
Me too. I was on the way to Iraq in the Army. It was a huge blow to heavy music. Dimebag was a true guitar hero and an amazing inspiration and just such a cool dude.
Same. Every December 8th I watch all the pantera home videos and dime vision. Thank you Dime for changing my world.
I was in fire camp in Humboldt and cried like a baby when I heard he was killed. Lived in Arlington at one time.
I remember hearing the song cowboys from hell for the first time back around 91'- 92'. I was about 22 years old. Blew me away. I was literally like, "what the hell is this!" So metal...had such a heavy groove and melodic. His guitar tone was crushing! Never heard a tone like that before! That was it, I was hooked! R.I.P Dime and Vinny! Thanks for all the killer music you gave us!
Oh yeah man - dime brought his own way of doing things to metal, and man did he supercharge it! I was hit pretty much the same way - heard cowboys from hell and thought damn! RIP to the awesome Abbott brothers 🤘🤘
Proud to be Loud for sure. wish these guys were still alive
Oh yeah man same here. Knowing those guys they would have gotten more heavier and more intense. They never sold out - and only got better and better.
The 1980s got me into metal, Nirvana had me pickup a guitar and Dimebag helped me shape my guitar tone and style. Pantera is my favorite band. I got to see the Great Southern Trendkill tour, Live 101 tour and Damage Plan before Dime’s death. I have been branded with a CFH tattoo since 1998. I miss this band. RIP Abbott brothers.
That is awesome that you get to see them during those different times. Must have been intense to see them during the GST tour. I was horrified when the news hit the wire - definitely hard to do this one for sure. Thanks for sharing your experience man 🤘🤘
My brother is also a guitar player. He went to school with Darryl and learned guitar from him. We lost touch long before they became famous.
I will never forget that hair.
RIP
@@mossfree wow that is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing that!
That solo on cemetery gates is still the most amazing and kick ass sound I've heard. Dimebag and a slash are by far my two favorite guitarist's
RIP we miss you always Dime. Pantera was the GOAT
Dime was truly one of a kind. RIP
his playing was otherworldly... really an innovator... also makes a good case for solid state... (edit: that description of tube versus solid state is spot on... solid state='immediacy', tube='lag')... imo
You got that right Andy - haha I'm glad you caught that about the tube versus solid state. I could relate with him though I like both for different reasons. Thanks so much man
@guitarmeetsscience I like both for different reasons also. I have several tube, solid state, and hybrid amps. I can't stand tube snobs though. Quality and sound is what's important no matter if it's designed with valves or transistors.
Exactly right - It goes back to the old rule if it sounds good it is good 🤘🤘
One of the best memories I have is going to a Damage plan concert with my brother after years of listening to Pantera growing up together. He has passed too. R.I.P. Andrew, R.I.P. Dime
Oh man - my condolences for the loss of your brother. That has to be one hell of a kick ass memory though. Thanks for sharing that man!
I was lucky enough to not only meet him but hang out with him for a few hours. Deep down he had a tender heart and truly cared about people. I have a huge canvas print of him in my house. Next to Cliff Burton and Scott Weiland.
That is awesome that you got to meet him. By all accounts he was a top-notch guy. Such a big personality ... Such a big loss
Those other two mentioned Scott and Cliff in my top 4 or 5 rockers I would bring back if I could.😢❤
To me, that facet of his personality is really what puts him at the top of the pack. Guitar players are a bunch of dicks, and I should know, been one since '89. Dime was the antithesis of the arrogant douchebaggery you tend to encounter in that walk of life. He was humble, he was gracious, he was always happy to talk to his fans because he was just like them. He realized how fortunate he was and the fame didn't go to his head. They really don't make em like that, before or since, especially considering how talented and successful he was.
I heard about his murder on the morning radio on my birthday. Needless to say when I showed up hung over, at about 11:00 my boss was on my ass, "dude, your 25, not 21, not 18, 25 is just another day" I told him it didn't have anything to do with me, it was for Dime. And as time went by I found out that all my friends, no matter where any of us were, we all got drunk as shit and smashed up everything around us. It was so senseless and heartbreaking. Anyways, thanks for bringing up that point of interest. I think that's what really set him apart.
Take care of yourself man.
Heard a brief clip of Pantera on Headbangers Ball. Bought all the albums. Bought the Home Videos. Bought Dime's Dimeslime guitar. Picked up every magazine he was in. Watched Dime play Floods, 20 feet from my face in an arena. Watched him at Ozzfest. Had a baby in '03, which caused me to miss the Columbus Damageplan concert in '04. Dime was murdered in that club. My heart has been crushed ever since
What an experience, and history following Dime! Thank you for sharing that! He touched a lot of people's lives. I was crushed when I heard the news, and this documentary is the hardest one I have done because of the circumstances surrounding his death. RIP Dime and Vinny 🤘🤘
I was really into Nirvana when I first picked up the guitar. The local video rental place had Vulgar Videos.. I rented that over and over. Changed my life.
This was the guy that inspired me to play guitar and inspired part of my tone.
Well you definitely have a great inspiration. RIP dime 🤘🤘
I'm a bass player and Dime had me rocking a long painted goatee and converse chuck taylor high tops in high school! I had the privilege of seeing them twice in my life and it was insanely good. I'd never seen people drink that much whiskey and go on to play the tightest, heaviest music I'd ever heard.
Oh yeah - they weren't just a band they were a lifestyle. Lol they could definitely knock back some, and never lose an ounce of energy and if anything just get more brutal as they went. That inspires me now to break out my Converse, still got them! I remember they're comfortable as all hell
This is one of the best rockumentaries on Pantera/Dimebag I've seen. Very well done. I met Dime and Vinny 6 months before Dime's death. Meant to be I guess. I love Pantera and loved Dime even more. He was so humble, inviting and such a cool MFer... He signed my arm (which I had tattooed the next morning) and took photos with me and the band I was with. I will cherish and never forget that brief moment in time... Fuck I miss Dime... And Vinny... Imagine what they would have been producing musically today...
Man!! thank you so much and thank you for sharing that! God I can't even imagine how close to home that must have hit. Considering that you met the brothers shortly before it went down. I remember how horrible I felt when the news hit, and doing this video was easily the hardest one I've had to do of all of these. Most are pretty easy, and I really enjoyed doing his story but the point where the heinous act happened was definitely really difficult to do. I truly appreciate your kind words and thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Saw Pantera a couple times in the 90s, and 2000. Saw Dime and Vinnie play with Damageplan two days before the end. Still have Dimes pick from that show, literally one of the last ones he ever gave away.
Dime is the reason I picked up a guitar, and he still put on the best live shows I've ever seen.
That is so cool that you got to see them and that you got one of dimes picks. And especially considering the time too - total collector's item
you better have played a pantera riff at least once with that pick to honor dime
That's fucking awesome dude! I saw them 5 times in the 90's and they were untouchable live, about the only band that could follow Slayer! Lol Thanks for sharing that story bro, I met Phil and Rex with Down a few times and Phil with Superjoint Ritual but not the Abbott brothers. I have no doubt I would have met them by now if Dimebag wasn't murdered by that SOB, Pantera would have gotten back together again after Phil got clean..I have been playing guitar for several decades and Dimebag was my favorite guitar player ever 🤘🏻
Dimebag - along with Kirk Windstein of Crowbar - is the reason I use a Randall now. I've always preferred solid state as well (they just work better for extreme/heavy music), but getting into Randall changed everything for me. Amazing amplifiers. RIP Dime.
Saw them 3x '90 - 93ish. Dime's solos were insane live! I was up front for all these shows and watching him play was mesmerizing.
Very cool! Right in front too - best place to be. Must have been intense! 🤘🤘
Excellent video on the best guitarist of the 90’s and in the top 1 of all time. Simply put I miss Dime almost as much as I miss my momma who passed around the same time. Dime was just a regular guy with incredible guitar skills.
My condolences about your mom. It really sucks losing a parent. I've lost both, so I can relate. When the news of dime hit - everybody was just floored. Such a sad day. Thank you for your kind words.
My eternal hero right here.
You will be forever missed.
My favorite guitar player ever and they are my favorite band ever, Dimebag was one of last real guitar heros that was completely original, 3 seconds and you know who it is...I saw them 5 times in the 90's and they absolutely destroyed the stage every time, kept getting heavier instead of selling out like Metallica and Megadeth, they took Slayer, Anthrax, Morbid Angel on tour to sold out arenas keeping metal alive. And it was so awesome that Eddie gave Dimebag that original guitar, he's my second favorite guitar player ever right after Dime, great video brother 🤘🏻
If I were to guess I would say you are a Pantera fan!! 🤘🤘 Oh yeah!!!!!
He created his own sound!!!! And will never be duplicated. Rip dime and vinnie
Rip Abbott Brothers 🤘🤘
Hits me in the feels every time the story of dimes end is told. You did it well. Rip dimes
@@redstallion415 Thanks bro - out of all the docs so far I've done, This one was the hardest to do. Specifically for dimes last moments. I appreciate the kind words. RIP Dime 🤘🤘
I once heard an interview with Max Cavalara talking about Dimebag and his guitar playing pretty much saying when he's done playing shows he's done doesn't want to look at a guitar until another show,Not Dime man he always had his guitar and was always showing different new licks.Dude was legend I'm 43 seen them twice and they help me get through alot of tough times...also they did the best Sabbath Covers.Rip Abotts
Thanks for sharing that - Dime was one with his guitar.... He was the real deal through and through. RIP Dime and Vinny 🤘🤘
The solo from "The Sleep" on CFH is my favorite Dimebag solo
That is one sweet solo!
Great job!!! That’s how we pay tribute to a legend and help keep him alive for the next generation!
🙏 Thank you so much!!!! Dime was one of a kind
Getcha pull!!!! Dime was my main influence playing guitar. Gone too soon. RIP DARRELL
@@Randy-g5q 🤘🤘
My very first concert was Pantera! Pops took me when I was five. I remember sitting on his shoulders in a leather jacket headbanging and the image of Dimebag Darrell absolutely shredding in an Ace Frehley shirt forever etched into my mind.
@@RISK-BREAKER What a great way to get introduced to music! That's awesome
Blasting their songs on the tape deck back in the day made me feel soooo wild and free 🤘🔥
Oh yeah!
Man the detailed step by step of dime's murder was an emotional rollercoaster for me. So many emotions, but sheer anger more than anything else. Only solace we have is justice was swift.
Yeah man - of all the documentaries I've done this was the hardest one to do. I literally had to do that part first.... So chilling to relive that night. I agree - the justice was definitely swift, but even that came at a cost to the officers psyche. He really was a hero that night though no doubt.
My favorite solo of all time!!!!! R.I.P Dime🤘🎸🎸
The best metal guitarist EVER! I feel blessed to have witnessed two Pantera shows (95/97), and still have a hard time accepting that the Abbott brothers are gone. Wish I had a time machine so I change the outcome, because they should both still be here making music.😢
Appreciate you digging in on Pantera, Dime was the best of all time imo...those last two albums are really underrated
@@holtrain81 Thanks bro - oh yeah, the great southern trend kill especially. Just an insane piece of work all around!
I remember the night that happened. Heard about it the next day. It just baffles me that somebody so heinous could do such an act to a beloved guitarist.
I can totally relate - heard about it at work. We were all shocked. This was the hardest one to do so far
Dimebag was the combination of every guitarist who’d ever met at the crossroad.
In the entire history of the electric guitar, very few people ever understood the instrument to the level that Dime did.
omg Thank You!!!! this was meant to be made it took alot of effort i see and your facts are right on god bless...
Jason that totally makes my day man! Thank you so much and God bless!!
Love the video man i am a massive Dime fan!
Thank you brother! Rest in power Dime 🤘🤘
You did well on this. From what I can tell, spot on. Thanks. Dimebag was definately an original.
Thank you so much Scott, I appreciate your kind words! They broke the mold when they made dime!
I saw them open up for Skidrow in a little arena in southeast Alabama. They melted the paint off the walls! Brutal Bliss!!!!
I will definitely bet that had to have been brutal! Freaking awesome
I got to stand literally in front of dime at a pantera gig, man he was cranked! So loud! But he was playing his ass off. What a legend.
That had to be pretty freaking awesome!!!
@@guitarmeetsscience they were great! Super fun
Fun fact, there’s a video of Kerry King (Slayer) and Dime Darrell both meeting up I’m not sure if it was before or after performing and Kerry Taught Dime some thrash riffs and Dime was getting it and now that’s the reason Cowboys from Hell was released.
That is really cool - and considering the time, it definitely would have been neat to see King getting dime on board with the thrashier side of things. Dime definitely ran with it
Thanks for this GEM and the fact that is your real voice and not a AI voice over ! RIP Dime and Vinny
Thanks man. If mine were an AI voice it would be one busted AI lol. The Abbott Brothers we're unbelievable. RIP 🤘🤘
I enjoyed this Jim! I was one of those young 20 something’s that had the privilege of seeing Pantera as a bar band in the 80s in the DFW area. I didn’t know how lucky I was to have my first Air Force duty station in Ft Worth, Texas (Joes Garage was on the west side of Ft Worth actually) and got to see them jam and what a phenomenal guitarist he was. In the 90s I saw them live at huge concerts in Germany. So I’ve been a fan from way back! I think you described their evolution and their sound well. Thanks for this cool video!
Hey Rich - that is freaking awesome that you were able to experience that!! And then to catch them in Germany. Pretty darn cool of a must say so myself. Thank you brother!!
If I'm not mistaken, Dime started using tube amps on the last two Pantera records. I don't think it's an issue of him not liking tube amps, but the fact that the tech for tube amps weren't quite there yet in what he wanted to portray sonically. The heads from the late 90's going forward took quantum leaps from the tech of the amps of the previous eras. I think Dime would love the high gain tube amps of today.
@@anutoldlegend89 I agree, the amplifiers nowadays have a lot more of that sag which works perfectly with more the high gain tones.
Nobody rocked like Pantera! I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard them. I'm a drummer and Vinnie was my favorite. RIP Abbott brothers
🤘🤘 both of the brothers brought so much to metal. This was the hardest doc to do because of what happened to Dime. RIP Abbott Brothers
Thanks very much Guitar Meets Science 🤘 hearing you say Dime's playing WAS the pyro is so spot on and definitely put a smile on my face. Edit: i try not to focus on the end too much, still makes my blood run cold
Thank you brother! Dimes playing definitely was the pyro no doubt! Not going to lie - This has been the most difficult video of all the docs I have done so far. I had to tackle that part first to make sure I did it justice but also because it was just so damn difficult. Thanks for your kind words man - always great to meet a fellow dime fan 🤘🤘
Thanks for making this vid! He had such a raw and unapologetic guitar style. Really was one of the supers!
Thank you kindly - that is the perfect way to describe his style: raw and unapologetic.
Wonderful sharing! Great job!
🤘🤘
Pantera / anthrax for my first real concert in the 90s was the peak of my life...
I will bet that was one hell of a freaking great concert too!
@@guitarmeetsscience life altering...
Awesome job whoever made this video. Thank you so much
@@SlackBabbath419 Thank you so much - I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This was a really awesome video, and i enjoyed it! Dimebag was a terrible loss, and there's no replacing him.
Thanks so much. This was the hardest one to do - All it took was one one deranged lunatic to make some of the saddest history to date. I appreciate it! 🤘🤘
Thank you. This was so good I watched it agian.
Thank you bro - that makes my day! Glad you enjoyed it!
So much cool information that I wasn't aware before. Thank you for compiling this!
I am really glad you enjoyed this one. Thank you for the kind words - That truly makes my day!
I miss them both all the time. This was great. It brought a tear to my eye.
🙏🙏 Thank you so much.This was the hardest documentary to do - he died in such a senseless manner, but he will always be a legend.
Huge Pantera fan here! I've watched, read, and listened to just about every thing Dimebag! I have to say that this video was INCREDIBLY informative! Lots of info I've never heard of, very fascinating stuff. Good job!
@@sploob2773 thank you so much - is that really makes my day and is a huge compliment. I'm really glad you enjoyed it!!!
The groove was real with later Pantera. Talk about metal, but there was a little blues/soul in there as well. You FELT the music, it was funky, and could pull a stank face like no other.
Absolutely spot on!!! Pantera could bring the stank face all the way.... That's funny because I always get it when I listen to there later albums. I'm definitely not the only one 🤘🤘
Really well put together video there man!
Thanks man That's a huge compliment!!! Much appreciated 🤘🤘
Only Halfway Through and This is Amazing, I Didnt Know About Dimes Dad,Awesome Way you put This Together, Love Me Some Dime,You Rock GMS,Love This,Keep Rockin 🎸👊🎸👊
Thanks Rebel!! This one was hard to do when it came to that fateful night. Dime was such a fun loving honest hard rocking dude. I thank you kindly and keep on rocking Rebel!!! 🤘😎🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
The BEST video of my entire day! Thank you!
🙏 Right on man Thank you so much that makes my day!!
New Found Power is probably one of the best and most underrated metal albums of all time!
Underrated and also influential - some of the smarter bands picked up on the sound they were putting down. I think it played a big part in shaping metal to come after that
It was certainly different.. I would've preferred Dave Williams on vocals (had he not passed), but Dime started blending tube amps (not just for clean parts) on that album.. and a "looser" feel.
There were some good songs on it.
I remember when cowboys from hell first came out. Me and my three of my homies were driving around Manhattan. Listening to a station that played tons of heavy metal . I think they were called wsru pirate radio. Pantera was on there live doing interviews. Diamond Darrell (which is what he was going by then) said,anybody call in i bet i can play any van halen song. And tons of people were calling in a dammit he played all van Halen requests NOTE FOR NOTE!!! So hearing this we swiftly drove to tower records. Bought cowboys from hell,and when i heard,i believe it was the art of shredding or something like that i was hooked!!!
Oh man that must have been freaking cool! He loved Van Halen - It always hit me pretty hard reading that story about Eddie burying his prized bumblebee with him. That just brings it all home right there. Thanks for sharing that!
@guitarmeetsscience your youtube family thanks you!!!
Right on brother 🤘🤘
Thank you for this video...and the tears!!
Thank you brother.... This one was the most difficult to do of the bunch. Such a tragic loss man
Love this video! Brings back the good'ol days
Right on man!! It brought back the good old days to cover Dime. Damn he was incredible!
i already knew this whole story and more, but you did a great job and i sat thru and watched it all. dime's my fav
Thank you so much - I just enjoy doing deep dives on these amazing players. His story was tough to do though for sure - reliving the end part. Such a shame how that went down
Yea man, great video, you put this together very well with details I haven't yet heard in others like it. I appreciate that kind of attention and care, it matters a lot. Now I know that psycho caught that blast of buckshot in his face, and that somehow feels like justice to me. RIP Dime, Vinnie, Mayhem Thompson, Nathan Bray, and Erin Halk. My condolences to Officer James Niggemeyer and his family, may he find peace within himself. 🙏
Thank you man!!! It was definitely justice - but definitely not soon enough. Out of all the videos I've done - this one turned out to be the hardest to do by far emotionally. Putting that segment together was just damn chilling to go back through again. I appreciate the kind words man and I'm really glad you dig this one! 🤘🤘
This vid made me subscribe! Splendidly done! I love Pantera, love guitar & I love science! Great marriage of topics!
Right on brother that makes my day! Thank you!!! The channel was originally named guitar meets engineering, which is my actual day job - but it had too many syllables lol. I'll try to have more science stuff in the future somehow at least the science of guitar 🤘🤘 much appreciated and great to meet you man!
@guitarmeetsscience Great to meet you and stay ROCKIN'! I know you and Tom Scholz would get along nicely!
@john564holloway haha definitely! I would definitely have to find out how the hell he managed to come up with the rockman 🤘🤣🤘
Another great video. Well done. I was recently turned onto your channel from your Van Halen series. You’re quickly becoming one of my favorite TH-cam channels 🔥🙌🏻
@@erickimm5150 Hey Eric - Man that's what makes it all worth it right there. Thank you so much, I really do appreciate your kind words! 🤘😎🤘🎸
@@guitarmeetsscience I appreciate your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you man!!! 🤘🤘
the reason I play any and all instruments. 🤘🏻🤘🏻 the greatest musician of all time! (opinion)
Total inspiration! Thanks for sharing that man keep on rocking 🤘😎🤘
Pantera/White Zombie, 1996 i believe. Greatest experience of my life, I had just turned 15, man that show is burnt into my memory
I will bet - that had to have been a killer show!
I got to see them on the “Far beyond driven “ tour with Sepultura and Prong . At State palace theater in NOLA!
Right on that's awesome!
Man I loved Dime!!Me and my X wife seen them in 1992,the good years😍🤩
Definitely the Good Years!!!! 🤘🤘
He was just Darrell the kid from down the street, lol. His guitar playing was something else, as he developed from "Diamond to Dimebag" he hit on something unique with his gear. I was a tube amp guy and hated his Randall tone but it worked for Pantera. Miss him and Vin a lot, cool guys and down to earth. RIP my friend
Excellent take man!
This was awesome man thx, lot of details.
Thank you so much I'm really glad you enjoyed it! 🤘🤘
Oh Yeah , Excellent Dude !!!
Thanks brother man rock on 🤘😎🤘
Nice job bro. Great doc.
Thank you so much bro I'm really glad you dug it! 🤘🤘
Dimebag was the greatest metal guitar player RIP dimebag and vinne
Absolutely spot on 🤘🤘
Oh, man. There simply are not words in any language that can be used to describe this anomaly of a man
Never will there be ever be another like Dime
I know you’re resting easy, king
See you on the other side, brother
🤘😎🤘
I'd always say to myself and my friends then since when I heard them for the first time that Pantera was the Black Sabbath of the 90's with heavier sound, modern Metal and fresh attitude for their period of time🖤💯
I saw live that ''94 summer tour with Biohazard and Sepultura'' opening for them it was a blast, life changing for real!
And I got into whiskey(black tooth grin) because of Dimebag Darrel primarily🥃🥃🤘
I truly miss you guys Dime and Vince and thank you both forever for timelessness music and awesome memories... R.I.P🙏
🤘🤘🤘🖖🖖🤘🤘🤘 💫💥 🙌🙌🤝🤟🤟🤟
@@AndreLuis-oo6bf The Sabbath of the '90s - pretty spot on analogy. They really kept the torch lit for metal. Thanks for your comment man that's a great one!
Dimebag is still my favorite guitarist. From the first time I heard CFH, I instantly became a huge Pantera/ Dimebag fan. He had raw talent in every sense of the word. He wasn't happy unless everyone around him was happy and having fun. Such a huge loss. I'm grateful that the Policeman got the shooter. Pantera fans are very loyal and I believe that had he ( the shooter ) not been killed that night a fan might have hunted him down and unalived him. I think it's also very coincidental that this took place on the same date as John Lennon's shooting. I miss Dime everyday. RIP Brothers Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul Abbott. Peace, Love and RE-SPECT 👊
Exactly right - I was floored to know that the officer was so shaken by the incident, but I really hope that he took home the point that it had to be done and that he saved a lot of lives. That guy was a true hero in every sense. RIP dime 🙏
Great video; learned a lot.. Ty..
Thank you so much - I'm really glad you liked it!!
I smoked out with Darrell at the Ozzy/Exodus show in Dallas, I think 88. Saw them a couple of times at the Basement during their Power Metal album. Phil had long hair and wore lots of rings.
Pretty damn cool!
I got to meet phil and rex last february in Kansas City. I drove from Dallas. Amazing meeting those legends. Got to meet zakk wylde and charlie too. that was badass.
That is pretty badass!
Rip my guys Dime and Vinnie 😢❤❤
And that KILLER BREAKDOWN in ILL CAST A SHADOW. 🤘🤘
Hell yeah! 🤘🤘
A true master, groovy and powerful, unique…. A guitar hero fantastic
Great job breaking down his playing abilities and history, i feel the same . Pantera could've been the best of all time if not for animosity,drugs and alcohol, tragedy so we'll never know
Thank you - You are so right too. Had they have been able to get out from all of that they would have stuck together.
