I heard a Dime story that at a clinic like this a kid told him that he wanted to learn guitar because of Dimes music but his parents couldn’t afford a guitar. Dime told the kid to stick around after the clinic was over. Once the crowd had dispersed Dime called the kid over and gave him his guitar and told him that next time he was in town he wanted to jam with the kid. Dime was a hell of a dude..
This sounds like bullshit to most people probably but if you've ever interacted with the dude, you'd know that's the kind of person he was. You hear all the stories about him remembering what kind of drink people wanted when he invited them to parties and making sure he got it for them and if you watch some of the behind the scenes stuff about the Moscow show you can see the way he was around people.
I'm sure Dime had bad moods. He just wasn't a douche during them. Even Tom Hanks has bad moods. One time he snapped at someone asking for a coffee. The next thing that person knew Tom was apologizing (someone who was a crew member on a movie he worked on said that). I have no doubt Dime was the same.
@@ZiddersRooFurry yeah he definitely had bad moods. When Pantera broke up he was unbelievably hurt and depressed about it. I even heard he could get a little violent when drunk, but it's hard to see that.
@@darkwizard2651 I've never heard anyone mention Dime hurting anyone so I suspect if he ever did get a little violent it was likely mostly aimed at objects.
I was taking guitar lessons in the mid 90s and I noticed my teacher, who was versed in blues/jazz, had a Pantera cd in his collection. I was blown away and asked him if he liked Pantera. He said "No, I can't stand that type of music" So why do you have the cd I asked. "Because their guitar player is on another level, and I'd be a fool to ignore him bc I didn't like their music". Even people who didn't like Pantera couldn't deny Dimes skills
The crazy thing about that, Dime, if what I’ve been seeing and reading is true, was primarily self taught...based on what I know having played electric guitar for over 32 years...some of the stuff he does, had to’ve been taught to him by someone...like he says “Little Penatonic, Little Minor, Little Major” the fact that he knows what that is, and is able to articulate how it relates to his playing style doesn’t quite line up with his explanation of figuring it out on his own by jamming with Kiss & early Van Halen records in his bedroom...just saying...
Malakai DeMoines my dad has a cousin who is like that, and my dad is scared of him bc of it, and he told me a story that makes me not doubt that someone can easily snap, so I understand that, still sucks though
I agree! The desire to watch videos like this comes from a true music connesior. I myself, am shitting my pants right now watching this. I learn so much when I dig deeper than the music they recorded. Then, as I gather more information on an artist, I develop much more respect for their music oddly enough. I love... Love.... Love the stories. I love these guitar too! They play very well!!!
I was lucky enough during the last ever tour they did in Australia to slap and fist bump with dimebag and it was an experience I’ll live with the rest of my life RIP the metal god dime
He said that because it was his favorite hobby. He loved kissing dudes. That's why Nathan Gale shot him. Dainty Darrell made a pass at him, and Nathan exercised his manly right of defense against a ghey attack

@@12south31 that's freakn amazing dude. I can't believe I didn't even see him live. I was the Pantera nut too. All through the 90's when the music world was taking a shit, Panetta kept it raw and powered through. Im so full of regret and torn I didn't get to meet the dude. I put on Vulgar video sometimes n grab some coors n knock it out. I did however take my Dimebag camo guitar to his resting place and prayed with him. Feels like my guitar is blessed now know what I mean? Anyways yeah I can understand you wouldn't want to part with even a pick lol. That's cool. I'll see him one day when it's my time. Peace brother and keep jammn!
@@mpwhiteloon2316 The fact that he was so down to earth makes it all the better. Sometimes you meet someone who you really look up to and they turn out to be a jerk, but not him. That's awesome you got to visit his grave. I live outside Cleveland and have been to the Alarosa a few times. They have a little memorial outside. I almost went to see Damageplan that night but it was a little too far away in Columbus (2 1/2 hour drive) and I had to work in the morning. Sometime when your shredding away he might come thru your guitar now!

Dime never met a stranger. If you had a conversation with him, he was a friend. I had the pleasure to see a show in Dallas while I was home on leave from the Marines and had lucked out getting backstage from a bro working security. I didn't want to press in and be a "fanboy" just wanted to say great show. He ended up talking to me for 20 minutes asking me about the Corps, making fun of my hair, steady putting drinks in my hand even I wasn't done with the one he gave me before. I was gobsmacked on how approachable and warm he was. A genuinely nice human being.
45:00 look at the way he interacted with fans. this man was not only a rare artistic genius, he was an incredibly outgoing and friendly person who wanted everyone he met to be as stoked on life as he was. wat i'm not crying YOURE CRYNGN8.5%.
SHREVEPORT LOVES PANTERA! Pantera & Shreveport will ALWAYS be connected. If it weren't for us, he'd have never met Phil. The beginning of the end. Who could've known. 😭❤️
Sure there’s more technical guitarists out there not bothering with names but no one can make the guitar scream and sound as cool as dime. Fucking legend, rip dime and vin. Music will miss you guys.😪😪
Hes the best, if you ask me its uncontested. There are great guitarists i love, then theres dime. Theres at least 10 of dimes solos that give me goosebumps everytime i hear them. No other musician in any genre does that to me. That texas style just speaks to me.
The neck run he does is kind of basic. But he makes it his own. 1st step is with the index and middle finger on the first and third frets and goes up chromatically. Then he does the same thing with the index and ring finger on the first and fourth frets and repeats the same pattern. The last one is with the index and pinky on the first and fifth frets with that same pattern. Warming up every finger.
This is heartbreaking, such a giving, kind, positive and open person, to leave us the way he did, such a shame. RIP kind sir. He took a genuine interest in others. Such an amazing characteristic. Never let it go to his head.

What happened to Modern music. Guitarists and musicans like Dimebag are celebrated by ever small numbers but the mainstream gets worse every year and keeps growing. Thank God for Dimebag. He was amazing.
You can be 36" taller and standing next to him on the same floor... but his personality will still have you looking up! Yet he was humble at the same damn time!
RIP Brother.....Such a beast on the guitar.....These guys are crazy, I met him at a bar and I asked a million questions through the nite. And for sure he answered every one like I was the only guy in there. Cool ass dude....
+Tat tood Dude, I love stories like this. He was the only guy that, when you hear stories like this about him, you're like "yeah, I figured he would be like that". And he fucking was.
+Nano B that's how he was man. When you talked to him he listened and talked to you like you were the only person in the world. He never talked down to you or thought he was better than you. Just a really genuine and humble dude.
This is so well known about Dime, loved not just for ability but being a righteous human. True story, I was 13 when my dad came home one day and gave me a beer coaster that Dime had written out to me, it reads “Sean, keep on rockin dude!” With a hand drawn CFH and his autograph. My dad had been playing pool with him all night at some bar and just thought he was cool. After a while the old man catches somebody call him “Dime” and he figures out he’s talking to his teenage son’s idol. My old man ain’t into Pantera but asked for an autograph for me and I still have it framed to this day. This is from right around ‘94. My dad’s awesome too. He still says, “Yeah Im not into metal but that Darrel guy was cool, fun to hang out with.” 🤘🤯
@@97Ushan well to be fair that was extremely vague. “Bout 13” could mean that he’s been playing since he was 13 years old or it could mean that he’s been playing for 13 years in general. Depending on when this video was recorded those two answers could be a different number of years between each other. A better question would’ve been, “how long did it take you to get that good?” But knowing dime he still would’ve answered with “bout 13.”
@@kingzuna8007 I wondered the same - in other sources Dime was quoted saying he started playing guitar at about 12 years old. He was born in 1966, which means he likely started playing in 1978. Which means in 1993 when this video was made, he had been playing for about 15 years. But then again, his brother Vinnie tells a story where Dime disappeared into his room with his guitar for a whole summer, and when he emerged he was a virtuoso who could play anything from EVH or KISS. No doubt Dime had a special talent.
How does this video have 400 dislikes? Dime was such a beautiful soul. He was a happy and super genuine dude. Cheers to him, his personality, and talents.
Nathan Gale was a man with severe mental illnesses who was not given the correct medical attention he needed. Couple that with the extreme ease of requiring a firearm in the US and it was a recipe for disaster. Now let me be clear - the act of him killing Dimebag was an absolute crime, but this wasn't just some ordinary fanboy who had a beef with the band. If the Joker film has taught us anything it's that unchecked mental illness can manifest itself in terrible ways, and often the person does not have a full grasp of either their actions, or reality in general.
Amen brother, sometimes I still can't fathom it. I hope the dude that shot him is burning in the deepest, darkest, dankest corner of Hell for all eternity...
Not even 3 minutes in and the overwhelming sadness came over me of how he's not with us anymore. He's not acting, he is genuinely that cool of a dude (not that I knew him) but you can just tell he's pure. Imagine Dime in 2021... Imagine him having ahold of an iPhone and some social media. Imagine him knowing what memes are. He could bring world peace in these days I swear. I can only imagine the funny things he would say about this bullshit covid19.
The faces while he's playing, pure skill with soul. Man, i'm glad i live in a time when he was around, and so should you. One of the guardians of metal. one of God's own prototypes A high powered mutant, never ment for mass production. Too wierd to live, too rare to die.
@@Sir_Catnip how? it's just ripped off of Fear and Loathing with a couple words changed? Of course, you like Pantera so this is probably mind-blowing to you.
Why the fuck was no one asking him any questions?! I'd have a ton of things to ask him! The coolest, most down to earth guy ever and my inspiration. RIP Dime.
metallichic87 - remember in 1993 there was no internet, social media, internet websites that promoted awesomeness like this. I am 38 yrs old...only thing we had was Metal Edge magazine. I hear ya tho..most of these gremlins in this store seem like old turd folk that just came from Walmart - they had no clue of what they were seeing.
espemg7 ah man i used to love metal edge magazine. went to my old room a couple of weeks ago still has the pages i've ripped out and taped to the wall. Old pantera, slayer, king diamond and sepultura were all on there. Tripped me out lol
I always have to comeback to watch this every so often. He really was/is one of my generations best guitarists of all time...really any generation. RIP DIME you are sorely missed.
This video completely changed guitar for me. I come back to this a couple times a year. Dime was one of those rare beasts who was even better live and in person than on the albums. And boy was he damn good on the albums.
Damn man that's cool as hell, I was never fortunate enough to see Pantera live let alone MEET DIME, your so lucky man! He had to of been so f@#$ cool and chill to hang with
He might not have been the fastest or the best in music theory. But he sure as hell was the most influencial and coolest guitarplayer in my opinion. A more down to earth and an caring person you have to look long for. Since im only 18 i unfortunally never got to see them live. Rest in peace Dimebag. I hope i one day will become half as good you were. (Sorry for my spelling, English is not my native language)
He was definitely the coolest guitar player in metal yeah, so was Pantera as a band. There's alot of metal guys and bands who are all like... cheesy, awkward and not cool haha. Pantera was just the most badass really heavy metal band. Same goes for Down. Really seemed like guys you'd want to have a drink with.
Your 200 percent wrong sir. Music theory is the study of practices and possibilities of music. His speed is excellent enough in the metal industry and just cause he doesn't play super fast on all his songs he articulates and throws in just enough, for me, to categorize it as shredding. Which I would definitely call fast. He can play just as fast as let's say yngwie malmsteen but let's leave that style of fast to yngwie. When I want to listen to classical metal I'll go there. I can't think of a more deserving guitarist who portrays possibilities and practice in his genre of music. He's one of the best in that field.
Man, his playing could’ve been trash and I would’ve watched the whole video. What a cool dude to watch and listen to. So genuinely light hearted and laid back.
Can’t believe that was 30 years ago. It brings a tear to my eye. What can you say other than Dime was probably the most unique and special artists ever. He was one of a kind. RIP.
Im 25 learned guitar my freshman year of high school got into it cus i watched dimbag growing up always thot he was the coolist.... that orange guitar with the potleaf oh man always been my favorite
From what I've heard of him sing in videos of concerts and other shit like the home videos, he actually didn't have a bad singing voice haha. I'm sure other than doing some back-up vocals here and there he wanted to be able to give his full attention to playing the guitar when performing live though. God I wish I had been able to see Pantera live, I was born in February 1990 so I was a little too young haha.. by the time I was getting old enough they split up. My first concerts were Primus and Ozzfest in 2004, and I planned on seeing Damageplan when they came around. Damageplans album was definitely good, but it didn't give me the same feelings Pantera albums did. I would have seen any band good or bad if he was playing haha.. he just was such a massive influence on me and playing guitar as I grew up. Eventually saved money from chores to buy a Dean ML-F and other gear he used like the whammy pedal. Learned as many of his riffs as I could, and tried to learn/perfect his solos as I got better. I never was as excited as when I finally figured out the trick to doing the squeals the way he did by dumping the whammy bar haha. I never did get to see him with Damageplan, since he was tragically and senselessly murdered by that cowardly shitbag. Hopefully Dime is at peace wherever we end up after death, as well as the other victims. I feel bad for the audience/band and their crew for having to witness and endure such a brutal tragedy.. as well as the cop who first responded and took action to kill that scumbag. Can't help but think how badly I wish I could've seen him live and met him in person every time I listen to Pantera or watch their home videos/concert footage. RIP Dime you're missed immensely, and your music will continue to have a huge impact on people for generations to come.
The fact he calls his fans by their names and welcomes and thanks them is so genuine. What an awesome human being. Dude has a big heart, no wonder his guitar playing is so unique and has a lot of passion in his playing. RIP Dime I wish I could met you and thanked you for your music and just being a badass person.
:( Wow, just shows you how humble and simple dimebag was. Hard to watch this without shedding a tear, Pantera got me through School. Only band that made me feel 10ft tall when listening to them. I remember confronting a dude that was bullying me, I listened to Trendkill on repeat for hours and broke his nose. I dont advocate violence unless its self defence but damn it felt good.
I know this does not need to be said but I find it soooo hard to watch Dimebag since his death. The most heartbreaking moment in music history. The tears fall hard. He was sooo beautiful. This guy is a God. If you play metal you know this guy has incredible ability. So much passion. So fuck'n tragic. R.I.P. brother you changed my life
Just watching Dime jam it out and answer all these questions causally shows how much of a genuine human being he truly was. This man was truly taken from us way too soon.

All through the 90's when the music world was taking a shit, Panetta kept it raw and powered through. Im so full of regret and torn I didn't get to meet the dude. I put on Vulgar video sometimes n grab some coors n knock it out. I did however take my Dimebag camo guitar to his resting place and prayed with him. Feels like my guitar is blessed now know what I mean? Anyways yeah I can understand you wouldn't want to part with even a pick lol. That's cool. I'll see him one day when it's my time. Peace brother and keep jammn!
@@mpwhiteloon2316 The fact that he was so down to earth makes it all the better. Sometimes you meet someone who you really look up to and they turn out to be a jerk, but not him. That's awesome you got to visit his grave. I live outside Cleveland and have been to the Alarosa a few times. They have a little memorial outside. I almost went to see Damageplan that night but it was a little too far away in Columbus (2 1/2 hour drive) and I had to work in the morning.

I would kill a man to be able to do that.

Dime never met a stranger. If you had a conversation with him, he was a friend. I had the pleasure to see a show in Dallas while I was home on leave from the Marines and had lucked out getting backstage from a bro working security. I didn't want to press in and be a "fanboy" just wanted to say great show. He ended up talking to me for 20 minutes asking me about the Corps, making fun of my hair, steady putting drinks in my hand even I wasn't done with the one he gave me before. I was gobsmacked on how approachable and warm he was. A genuinely nice human being.

Hes the best, if you ask me its uncontested. There are great guitarists i love, then theres dime. Theres at least 10 of dimes solos that give me goosebumps everytime i hear them. No other musician in any genre does that to me. That texas style just speaks to me.
"I'm not like, tryin' to play somethin' cool, I'm jut tryin' to get warmed up"
*Plays one of the sickest neck runs ever!
Classic Dime
The neck run he does is kind of basic. But he makes it his own. 1st step is with the index and middle finger on the first and third frets and goes up chromatically. Then he does the same thing with the index and ring finger on the first and fourth frets and repeats the same pattern. The last one is with the index and pinky on the first and fifth frets with that same pattern. Warming up every finger.
he literally sounds the EXACT same as he does on the albums if not better. Damn he was so talented.
I love how he periodically just heavily breathes into the mic when people are asking questions. Dude is so naturally hilarious and creative.
We miss you Dime, and we love you...
This is heartbreaking, such a giving, kind, positive and open person, to leave us the way he did, such a shame. RIP kind sir. He took a genuine interest in others. Such an amazing characteristic. Never let it go to his head.

What happened to Modern music. Guitarists and musicans like Dimebag are celebrated by ever small numbers but the mainstream gets worse every year and keeps growing. Thank God for Dimebag. He was amazing.

You can be 36" taller and standing next to him on the same floor... but his personality will still have you looking up! Yet he was humble at the same damn time!
Best metal guitarist ever. He could do it all. Shred with soul, write timeless riffs, had a great ear for tone and what a personality.
RIP Brother.....Such a beast on the guitar.....These guys are crazy, I met him at a bar and I asked a million questions through the nite. And for sure he answered every one like I was the only guy in there. Cool ass dude....
+Tat tood Dude, I love stories like this. He was the only guy that, when you hear stories like this about him, you're like "yeah, I figured he would be like that". And he fucking was.
+Nano B that's how he was man. When you talked to him he listened and talked to you like you were the only person in the world. He never talked down to you or thought he was better than you. Just a really genuine and humble dude.
This is so well known about Dime, loved not just for ability but being a righteous human. True story, I was 13 when my dad came home one day and gave me a beer coaster that Dime had written out to me, it reads “Sean, keep on rockin dude!” With a hand drawn CFH and his autograph. My dad had been playing pool with him all night at some bar and just thought he was cool. After a while the old man catches somebody call him “Dime” and he figures out he’s talking to his teenage son’s idol. My old man ain’t into Pantera but asked for an autograph for me and I still have it framed to this day. This is from right around ‘94. My dad’s awesome too. He still says, “Yeah Im not into metal but that Darrel guy was cool, fun to hang out with.” 🤘🤯
Dimebag is a cool dude.
was a cool dude :(
era muy buena onda , si
2:56 "How long you've been playing?"
" bout' 13"
"13 days..?!"
Lmfao
who tf would asume that
Dime's jam seassion answered that question
@@97Ushan well to be fair that was extremely vague. “Bout 13” could mean that he’s been playing since he was 13 years old or it could mean that he’s been playing for 13 years in general. Depending on when this video was recorded those two answers could be a different number of years between each other. A better question would’ve been, “how long did it take you to get that good?” But knowing dime he still would’ve answered with “bout 13.”
@@kingzuna8007 true shit bro, dime had his own vibe, rip to a legend.
@@kingzuna8007 I wondered the same - in other sources Dime was quoted saying he started playing guitar at about 12 years old. He was born in 1966, which means he likely started playing in 1978. Which means in 1993 when this video was made, he had been playing for about 15 years.
But then again, his brother Vinnie tells a story where Dime disappeared into his room with his guitar for a whole summer, and when he emerged he was a virtuoso who could play anything from EVH or KISS. No doubt Dime had a special talent.
How does this video have 400 dislikes? Dime was such a beautiful soul. He was a happy and super genuine dude. Cheers to him, his personality, and talents.

I'm not really a fan of metal but I don't understand who could kill this man. just a really great guy, rip dimebag
Not justifying the behavior but he had a mental illness and was off his meds for awhile.. still no excuse for killing a man 😡
@@ICECREAMane1017 also his mom figured it was a good idea to buy him a gun, since he was not allowed to buy one for himself.
Some fucking Deranged idiot did it
Nathan Gale was a man with severe mental illnesses who was not given the correct medical attention he needed. Couple that with the extreme ease of requiring a firearm in the US and it was a recipe for disaster.
Now let me be clear - the act of him killing Dimebag was an absolute crime, but this wasn't just some ordinary fanboy who had a beef with the band. If the Joker film has taught us anything it's that unchecked mental illness can manifest itself in terrible ways, and often the person does not have a full grasp of either their actions, or reality in general.
My band wouldn't exist if it wasn't for this guy. He has inspired me more than any other person ever. RIP Brotha.
Amazing guy. I can't believe he's gone. I stil can't realise it. I can't accept it.
Amen brother, sometimes I still can't fathom it. I hope the dude that shot him is burning in the deepest, darkest, dankest corner of Hell for all eternity...
i feel ya brother & he's not gone, he foreever lives in us and his recordings.... me you and all his fans will never let him die......
you beeet!!! thats why i still do massive squelz so people still listen the good or the hard way what cool sounds he did!!!
i kno it's been.. shit 10 years now
Not even 3 minutes in and the overwhelming sadness came over me of how he's not with us anymore. He's not acting, he is genuinely that cool of a dude (not that I knew him) but you can just tell he's pure. Imagine Dime in 2021... Imagine him having ahold of an iPhone and some social media. Imagine him knowing what memes are. He could bring world peace in these days I swear. I can only imagine the funny things he would say about this bullshit covid19.
Miss this dude a whole lot.✌

metallichic87 - remember in 1993 there was no internet, social media, internet websites that promoted awesomeness like this. I am 38 yrs old...only thing we had was Metal Edge magazine.

espemg7 ah man i used to love metal edge magazine. went to my old room a couple of weeks ago still has the pages i've ripped out and taped to the wall. Old pantera, slayer, king diamond and sepultura were all on there. Tripped me out lol
metallichic87 less questions more playing
metallichic87 Probably because people were in awe of his god like presence, they didn't know what to ask him.
because they are star struck and self conscious
I get goosebumps and my eyes get real watery when he starts playin. Still can't believe he gone after all these years 😪😪😪
I always have to comeback to watch this every so often. He really was/is one of my generations best guitarists of all time...really any generation. RIP DIME you are sorely missed.

My favorite video of Dimebag. Shows his playing and how cool of a person he was.
Even though i wasn't a fan of Pantera, the man has got serious chops and can play!!!! R.I.P. Dime!
This video completely changed guitar for me. I come back to this a couple times a year. Dime was one of those rare beasts who was even better live and in person than on the albums. And boy was he damn good on the albums.

Damn man that's cool as hell, I was never fortunate enough to see Pantera live let alone MEET DIME, your so lucky man! He had to of been so f@#$ cool and chill to hang with
Thats fucking awesome. I know lots people “claim” theyve met dime but he actually shook your hand and greeted you on video. Im actually super jealous
He might not have been the fastest or the best in music theory. But he sure as hell was the most influencial and coolest guitarplayer in my opinion. A more down to earth and an caring person you have to look long for. Since im only 18 i unfortunally never got to see them live. Rest in peace Dimebag. I hope i one day will become half as good you were. (Sorry for my spelling, English is not my native language)
He was definitely the coolest guitar player in metal yeah, so was Pantera as a band. There's alot of metal guys and bands who are all like... cheesy, awkward and not cool haha. Pantera was just the most badass really heavy metal band. Same goes for Down. Really seemed like guys you'd want to have a drink with.
Your 200 percent wrong sir. Music theory is the study of practices and possibilities of music. His speed is excellent enough in the metal industry and just cause he doesn't play super fast on all his songs he articulates and throws in just enough, for me, to categorize it as shredding. Which I would definitely call fast. He can play just as fast as let's say yngwie malmsteen but let's leave that style of fast to yngwie. When I want to listen to classical metal I'll go there. I can't think of a more deserving guitarist who portrays possibilities and practice in his genre of music. He's one of the best in that field.
LTFOL !!!!!!
Major, minor and pentatonic. The thing is, start from the second, third or fourth note and keep playing and you’ll find the other five scales.
I was fortunate enough to get to see Pantera one-time in Columbus ohio-- Oz Fest
The fact that guitar stays in tune for the free floating work he does, says alot about Dean 🤟

Im 25 learned guitar my freshman year of high school got into it cus i watched dimbag growing up always thot he was the coolist.... that orange guitar with the potleaf oh man always been my favorite
Damn straight
Dimebag could have fronted Pantera himself. Who needs vocals when you got someone who can shred like that.
From what I've heard of him sing in videos of concerts and other shit like the home videos, he actually didn't have a bad singing voice haha. I'm sure other than doing some back-up vocals here and there he wanted to be able to give his full attention to playing the guitar when performing live though. God I wish I had been able to see Pantera live, I was born in February 1990 so I was a little too young haha.. by the time I was getting old enough they split up. My first concerts were Primus and Ozzfest in 2004, and I planned on seeing Damageplan when they came around. Damageplans album was definitely good, but it didn't give me the same feelings Pantera albums did. I would have seen any band good or bad if he was playing haha.. he just was such a massive influence on me and playing guitar as I grew up. Eventually saved money from chores to buy a Dean ML-F and other gear he used like the whammy pedal. Learned as many of his riffs as I could, and tried to learn/perfect his solos as I got better. I never was as excited as when I finally figured out the trick to doing the squeals the way he did by dumping the whammy bar haha. I never did get to see him with Damageplan, since he was tragically and senselessly murdered by that cowardly shitbag. Hopefully Dime is at peace wherever we end up after death, as well as the other victims. I feel bad for the audience/band and their crew for having to witness and endure such a brutal tragedy.. as well as the cop who first responded and took action to kill that scumbag. Can't help but think how badly I wish I could've seen him live and met him in person every time I listen to Pantera or watch their home videos/concert footage. RIP Dime you're missed immensely, and your music will continue to have a huge impact on people for generations to come.

:( Wow, just shows you how humble and simple dimebag was. Hard to watch this without shedding a tear, Pantera got me through School. Only band that made me feel 10ft tall when listening to them. I remember confronting a dude that was bullying me, I listened to Trendkill on repeat for hours and broke his nose. I dont advocate violence unless its self defence but damn it felt good.
I know this does not need to be said but I find it soooo hard to watch Dimebag since his death. The most heartbreaking moment in music history. The tears fall hard. He was sooo beautiful. This guy is a God. If you play metal you know this guy has incredible ability. So much passion. So fuck'n tragic. R.I.P. brother you changed my life
