  • Rock and roll guitar solos are modern one-person symphonies, and two of the greatest guitar soloist are Eddie Van Halen and Dimebag Darrell. The sound of their respective bands Van Halen and Pantera have been shaped by their guitar mastery.
    Sadly, both of these rock legends are not around anymore. Darrell was shot in 2004 and Van Halen recently passed away after years of struggling with cancer. But both of their legendary music and performances will live on.
    Van Halen and Darrell actually knew each other for a few weeks before Darrell was tragically shot by a fan during one of his concerts. The two actually got really close before Darrell's death and Van Halen even buried his iconic guitar with Darrell.

    Van Halen 1 came out the same year I was born 1978, and I have loved Van Halen ever since I can remember big time. I had just started middle school when Pantera put out Cowboys From Hell back in 1990, and I have loved Pantera ever since big time. Eddie Van Halen in my opinion is the greatest guitar player ever, and he changed the world forever when Van Halen 1 came out. Dimebag Darrell in my opinion is the last guitar player to be a huge influence on many guitar players and bands. I never got to see Van Halen in concert, but I was lucky enough to see Pantera three times in the mid 90's all the way up to 2000. Both Eddie Van Halen and Dimebag deserve the respect and recognition that they get. Van Halen could never continue without Eddie Van Halen, and Pantera could never continue without Dimebag. They were both that extremely important to their bands. Their music will live on forever because it is way too Iconic. Rest In Peace Eddie Van Halen and Dimebag Darrell!! Thank you so much for the PHENOMENAL music you gave us.

    Dimebag and Vinnie are buried side by side not far from where I live, and having gotten my start with VH with the second album, it's a bit odd for me to think that "that" guitar is down there. One thing I've noticed on my visits is that you typically don't get much time alone, as there's a semi-steady flow of fans parking and making the walk to their final resting places to pay their respects.
    For those whose sensibilities are in that direction, Amber Hagerman is buried in the same cemetery. You may not know who she was, but those alerts you get about missing children bear her name.

      When people are killed by a mentally unstable person whether it be Dimebag or a mass shooting, we need to say that mental illness was the killer, not the perpetrator. Only someone taken over by darkness can be driven to those extreme actions. What's more, talking about them in the media only feeds into their fantasy for many of them, and they hope they will be glorified.
      Let's hold the media accountable, put some tax dollars into treating mental illness, and start reaching out to those around us who are having a hard time, no matter what.

    This is actually a kinda tough video to get through. Such beloved musicians who really left a giant impact on my life. Ntm to mention two of them are guitar gods who I thought would live forever, and in a way still do due to their great music they put out. That music and spirit will never die,long after all of us are dead and gone. So rest easy,God bless and RIP Dimebag,Eddie, and Vinnie Paul. Kinda crazy how even Eddie was taken too soon,but Dimebag and Vinnie grew up listening to Van Halen and both brothers passed away almost or more than ten years before the older guitar God. So glad that Dimebag loved Eddie so much,and that they got to meet each other and really hit it off and became friends. And that story about Eddie making and giving Dimebag a guitar is a very heartfelt story. A gift from a legend to an icon. There must be some amazing jam sessions in heaven.
