In 89 I was in 7th grade I went to see suicidal tendencies and exodus with my older brother at the channel in Boston . Standing outside waiting These two guys with long hair come talk to us.. saying they were in the opening act and would we like to check out their bus and I was like umm sure. They were so proud and giddy to be on a tour with a bus. Like a little kid in a candy store. Then they played and completely blew everyone off the stage and my mind was blown. That band was pantera and the outgoing strangers inviting me to see their tour bus were Darrell and Vinny Paul.
WOW. What trip.
Wow
Wow alsome
In ‘93 I saw Pantera at the Orpheum in Boston and met the guitar player for Sacred Reich (opening band) after the show outside smoking a butt. He brought me and my buddy backstage and we actually met and hung out with the whole band. Best night ever!
Rich Robinson trip too the brain
Dimebag had the single greatest metal tone of all time.
Absolutely
100% agree! that chunky ass solid state tone, sometimes i find it hard to hear rex's bass behind that guitar tone ::D
Yeah, but his playing was even better.
Definitely had one of the greatest,especially all with solid state.
One of the best for sure, I thought it was brilliant how he cut the mids out of his tone and used the noise gate.
Pantera technically didn’t split in 2001. They went on Hiatus during 2001, then officially split on 2003, because of Phil. Then in 2004 Damageplan was created. And they created their first album, and went on tours, and then on Dec 8th, Dime was sadly taken from us. RIP Dime
Everyone always gets the Cowboys from Hell era guitar pickups wrong, Dimebag had a Bill Lawrence USA L500R in the neck. It’s even on the album cover if you don’t notice it in the video. A lot of guitar players were trying to get some type of endorsement money back in the day, The cleans were not done with a 59.
While he was on tour I saw him 4 days before his passing playing a show in Hartford, CT. That was his last full show he played. He was playing through Krank Rev heads
I have a krank rev1 on the way. I'm hoping its a great amp!
Those heads were for show, his Randall heads were backstage which were the ones actually being used.
@@dylangajdosik964 Pretty much, Dime was all about supporting and promoting his sponsors (but also was a real tone purist, he liked his sound and he didnt want to change it for anything)
@@dylangajdosik964 His Krankenstein head wasn’t finished until the day he was killed. Krank was supposed to ship it to his house in Dalworthing Gardens the following day. Not sure if he would have used it or not, but don’t see why not.
@nickevans8990 it's still sounds odd..."the day he was killed". I never pictured in a million years Darrell going out the way he did. Him of all people being murdered still doesn't make any goddamn sense 20 years later. I met him and Vince and well whole band many times through the years. The Abbotts were the nicest dudes you'd ever meet. Darrell's murder was just senseless man.
He used both the rack version of the head and the actual rg 100 es
Hey thanks for clarifying boss 🤘🏼
No problem
I'm pretty sure I heard Dime's guitar tech Grady say that Dime only used the Warhead for clean tones. Which is a little surprising because you wouldn't expect an amp called Warhead to be used for pretty clean sounds.
You are correct
Dime actually didn't liked the Warhead sound, it was used more as a... "image" thing than it was used for actually shaping his sound
so then what was used for reinventing the steel? I couldnt find jack shit besides some people saying it was the warhead and some people saying it wasnt the warhead lol
@@coke9013 i'm pretty confident it wasn't actually used at the album, only for the cleans. I believe that Dime used the Century amp for the distorced signal, the Warheads were used only to “marketing” or something like that
kind of crazy that still in 2022 Dime's tone is a mystery) I managed to get close to the great southern trendkill using Warhead in amplitube, still working on it...
It makes you wonder if Dimebag would have ever become the owner of Dean Guitars. 🤔
Dean would not have gone to shit, and I'm sure he would have been up there Zelinsky.
I was really hoping to hear about the southern cross paintjob too. That paint job has a unique story to go with it as well. Awesome video man. Keep em comin
Hey the dean from hell was stolen after the show in Philadelphia 1994 I saw it in Uniondale the day before which was aug 19th. He eventually recovered it but years later.
Arcane Sanctuary I thought he just retired it
What many don't know is that dime, had free reign of the washburn custom shop and anything he asked for, they would create.
Which is a Miracle, since it means that Dimebag/his estate owned the trademark and copyright for his personal guitar designs (of which the most well known is the Razorback, which he literally drew on a napkin and then drove the napkin to Washburn's custom shop)
I remember first time I ever saw Pantera, it was back in the mid 80's, during the 'glam metal' days, with Terry Glaze on lead vocals. Dime was a monster on guitar, and they basically put on a stadium style show in a small rock club. Dime had this ultra-frizzed out dew, clean-shaven, and wearing spandex (the standard metal look at the time). It wasn't until '92, when I got to see them open for Skid Row, and WOW!!! What a complete difference six years makes. After the show, me and everyone else I was with, we all went to another local club, and who decides to show up? Pantera, and they were the coolest. They jumped up on stage and performed a mini-concert for everyone, even after performing a full (Balls-to-the-WALL) set, earlier. Totally, BAD-ASS!!!
I would tell you to go see Ola Englund's video visiting Dime's house with Grady Champion (Dime's roadie) but you've probably already seen that...
It's awesome for all Dime's gear freaks!
Grady was dimes guitar tech
from 15-19 I spent alot of time around Darrell at shows. First saw them at Savvys and I had to stand behind the fence because i wasnt old enough. Then later he used to invite me and my friend backstage at Joes Garage before they played. We would talk gear and all kinds of things. I swear he had a few RG80ES heads. This was before they were signed and put out Power Metal. They were playing early versions of Cowboys.
I know it's probably just me, but don't say he just "passed away" he was murdered, big difference and it glosses over the horror and tragedy of how his life was ended. Great video, and I love your content!
Dime literally died in a mass shooting by a marine with abhorrent PTSD who had recently returned from Afganistan, its one of the worst, most tragic ways he could have gone (other than a slow alcoholism-related death, which wasnt too far away for Dime at the time unfortunately)
@@quickdrawmcgraw3567 actually believe it or not according to dime's autopsy his organs were all in decent shape, even his liver.
@@quickdrawmcgraw3567 you sure it was literally and not hypothetically? For real though you're an idiot. Dimes live was fine.
Dude this was a really good video! You should make one on James Hetfeild or Dave Mustaine. Oh and btw the Concrete Sledge isn't a Dean it's a prototype made by Jackson.
The Original ?
No his concrete sledge was a dean body with a Washburn neck. Not jackson. I know the inlays look like jackson but it was a Washburn neck.
ML Body with a Washburn Faststar neck
I joined the Army in July of 2004. I flew on a flight to Texas that same month. I was sitting there and this kids eyes got huge. He point to these guys I didn’t recognize. He said they were in Pantera. I knew the song ”Walk” but I didn’t know much else. I stay back but he went up to Dimebag and talked to him and told him we were joining the Army. Darrel said thanks for serving and signed some stuff. Thinking back now it was different seeing Vinny and Dimebag on a standard flight. I guess they were just your working class guys trying to earn a living. Made some good money I’m sure but still lived a normal life.
They were VERY well known for being just common ordinary folk.....just with really cool jobs. They absolutely loved being around and hanging with everyday people and not flaunting their celebrity.
I want to start off by saying thank you for your service to our country. The first video I saw of yours was Jim Root's rig rundown, which was amazing, by the way.
Dime's tone is one of those tones that many people (me included) try to emulate, without success. There's just so much gear to get that adds up to it. But nowadays, said gear is discontinued and crazy expensive. But there's some secret attributes to his tone. The Far Beyond Driven ML's floyd was top mounted, plus that guitar had a maple top which added some brightness (the Dean from hell's floyd was also top mounted, but the body was all mahogany). His USA Bill Lawrence pickups (NOT Bill&Becky Wylde, Dime confirmed this in his '93 clinic video) were flipped. Also in the original Dean from Hell, the neck pickup was a DiMarzio super distortion bridge pickup, but in the neck position. He was always trying to squeeze a little more gain out of everything. Its neck profile was also reshaped. But yea, he basically boosted the shit out of his amp, had a noisegate rack unit, and controlled the signal output with his volume knob.
Sorry I kinda geeked out for a sec lol.
Loved his sound of guitar playing. The best
Good job, bro! You nailed it! Reminds me of when I was in English class; the teacher wanted us to write argumentative essays. I wrote a paper on how and why Pantera broke up. The teacher loved it, and I earned an A. You get an A+, broski!
Great work. SMR. If i'm not mistaken, the Dean AND his first Randall were won at 'the shred contest'. Looking for talent in Texas with the cat from Point Blank on the panel; Kim Davis. After winning twice, Dime was D/Q'd from competing. y'all knew that, i know...
also, his dad gave him his first ML and while he liked the one he won more, he sold it to buy his first car. Didn't want to let go of a gift. He managed to buy the other one back, though.
4:05 Dean from Hell was not used in the 5 minutes alone music video. it was a DFH replica. you can clearly see the lightning graphic differences and in some frames of the video you can see that it has a black neck pickup, and not a black/white one.
The warhead came along very late in the recording of RTS. Some time ago I read that it was only used for a few solos and some overdubs. The bulk of the tracks are his trusty Randall RH100’s.
Awesome video, I'm a massive dime fan , got myself a dime o flame, Korean made, not the cheap copy, looking for a Washburn trendkill, it's my dream guitar
I read in a magazine Vinnie saying Dime also used a Wizard head on VDOP to help bring some definition to the tone.
I don’t recall the name of the magazine. I’m sure that info is out there somewhere.
Cool video, man. Keep up the good work.
hey man, I just found this vlog mixed in with other dimebag videos I've been watching.. and I didn't realize that this video was from 3yrs ago so I'm late to this show😅... but hey man, you did a awesome job doing this and you didn't act like you knew everything and even pointed out that you could be wrong on a few things and asked to corrected if so.. you took your time to explain the set ups and didn't breeze through it all real fast.. .. so I know I'm way late to tell you,, you did an awesome job on this!
RIP dime!! we all love and miss you like no other!! 💯♥️🤘.....and I'll bet that dime is with his brother jamming out with Eddie van and Randy rhoads, James DIO and many others and having a kick-ass time and probably making some serious ass kicking music together that we can't hear lol.😅......
🎉 🥃🍺🍻🍷🎉🎱💊🧫 👈🤘💯🎸🎤🔉🔊🎵🎶🎶🆙
Thanks for doing the homework on this vid. I’ve been getting more and more into Pantera over the last few years and I needed a quick reference for Dime’s gear over the years. This video was the top result.
Thanks SMR 🤘
You should drink Black Rifle Coffee if you don't already. Veteran owned, vet discounts, your riffs will also improve.
RIP Dimebag
I’ll have to take a look at them. Thanks for the info!
nobody really cares, do you want to bore people to death, with ouija board stupid guitars and childish frankstein trick or threat pedals? grow up
Veteran owned but they gave money to the Democratic Party and supported the very people that want to take our right to bear arms.....I’m also a veteran and will not support nor drink black rifle coffee due to this!
Man everyone always forgets Metal Magic (fucking classic album cover lol) and I Am the Night/Power Metal
Don't forget Projects in the Jungle either
an artist with a passion for the instrument along with his paint schemes his fun wild antics even on the guitar master of his art 1 of a kind human being his sound style dedication and loved to play jokes he will always be a legend and a inspiration for young guitarist he is among the elite i remember watching him play at rose land ballroom nyc 1992 and seeing all his gear they were a incredible band to see
Really happy to be subscribed. Greetings from Germany🙌
Hey thanks so much! I was stationed in Germany for two years, so Germany is like my second home!
I got the Dimebag sound years ago when they first got big. I used an old Goldentone 100 watt , ibaneze delay & boss Metal Zone. Swapped the etone speaker for an old Celestion out of my old Marshall. Only thing I could get closer to it was my friends Randall half stack.
The Washburn MLs were called "D3s." The "FM333," were the post "Dime," limited imports from another guitar company "Funky Munky Music." That rebel was a "D3 Rebel," and the camo was the "D3 Trendkill."
No Dean Dime o flame on tour at the end of pantera, that was during damageplan and it was the only one at the time, a paint job from Rick dubstadt over one of several USA ‘79 mls that dime received as part of his endorsement with Dean. He also had a black one, a Brazilia burst one and a cherry sunburst one that he left the original gold speed knobs on, all brought along on tour with damageplan. Hell o flage was also taken out for damageplan touring, not pantera. Late pantera would be mainly diamond plate and black/silver bevel stealth, culprit, and also the d3 cross, which I’m surprised wasn’t mentioned. Others that made appearances on those final tours were the rebel d3 and the d3 slime, the occasional d3 blue bolt, sometimes he would break out his d3 inferno! Not a lot of pics of that one, but that was one of the coolest dime guitars I’ve ever seen and one of the rarest guitars on the used market today.
I didnt hear you mention the MXR doubler?
I don’t really mention pedals too much. I just to focus on the main stuff otherwise these videos could be an hour long
@@xanderraymondcharles fair but it was a big old 80s rack unit and a part of the secret sound. J from White Zombie stole the idea as well.
You're doing great, Ray
Hey thanks so much I really appreciate it!
Daron Malakian through the years. His guitar and tone changed quite a bit over time
he used an ibanez iceman and a swedish chainsaw, and then he changed to a gibson sg and a normal boss distortion pedal
He truly died for Rock and Roll. The Bill Lawrence pickups have always intrigued me
Yeah George he always did what he loved. A true icon
Dimebag also stated using a DigiTech Whammy Pedal on the songs "Becoming" and "Suicide Note Pt. II"
I recently read and interview with his guitar tech and he mentions that they were always experimenting with the pickups so they often got changed but Dime’s favorite combination was the Bill Lawrence in the bridge with a Seymour Duncan 59 bridge PU in the neck
Hey man, just a thank you and good job! That was very well done and I'm thankful for all of yhe research and effort that went into making this video. 🤟😁🤟❤💯
Music store 2 minutes away from my has a Dime signature.. I'll have to see what model .. guy mainly has LTD so the Dean is odd for his store...
Yeah I’ve played a couple dean guitars they’re not really my style
Thank you for the info about him going back to 100es solely for trendkill. I’m pretty sure he used the 100es and the century 200 for vulgar and fbd. And the dimeslime showed up way before u mentioned lol. Also the lightning bolt Dean in the five minutes alone video is not the Dean from hell. I also am sure he only used the warhead for some cleans on reinventing the steel.
Dime kicks ass hehehehe
he was great, a metal legend
love this video
thank you so much my friend
Thanks for watching bro!
One of my biggest regrets is not buying a Dean Dixie Rebel when they came out in 06..
1:15 It wouldn't be boring to me I could sit all day and listen about anything dimebag related
This was great, thanks
Ray....Dime did get a chance to use his Razorback style ML's just not on record. Also He also gifted one to Zak Wylde with the EMG's ofcourse. The Krank amp Dime was very involved in the creation and specs but never got the chance to see it's mass production. When he passed it was a protype.
thank you bought one of his guitars recently at an charity event
I never clicked this soon on a video and please do kirk hammet next
He’s next on the list! He’s been requested a lot
Stay Metal Ray nice thanks bro
Dime used "The Culprit" guitar during Reinventing the steel tour
Dime is still the sickest to ever do it!
Dime slime Washburn is from trendkill days and the fbynddriven days he also had a dean ml with bullet holes that you can see in the I’m broken video.
In my opinion the Washburn Dimebolt painted by Chewy looks way much better than the DFH.
Dimebag used an MXR Flanger/Doubler after the Furman all the time. you didn't mention it at all.
Great video awesome channel love to see jake e Lee’s gear
Nice work thanks for vid, I’m trying to get hold of a lefty dime ax pricey …bu t one day ….thanks again dood
Yeah you did a great job! Thank you for doing it!
Hey thanks!
Did a great job brother.... Love your channel Ray....still waiting for hetfield!... Metallica was my band and still is today!... That's gonna be a monster assignment for you!!! Can't wait to watch!!!.... My favorite video is with you and Jim Root when you played thru his rig. That was awesome!!!!
His trend kill tone 🔥
I’d still love a Washburn signature of his.
Side note, the 3ST Stealth with the pointy and black/silver lines (took me all these years to realize) looks like Glenn tipton’s Hamer (painkiller as most people know it.) the black and silver one he started using in 88 for the one we know. The 86 one was different.
I got a pick from one of his shows. Some strings as well. The pick was an aluminum tech pick. It was sharpened to a razor edge from his playing. I'm sure the picks are part of how he got that sound. I used to have a guild star with active pickups and if I used my sisters bass amp as a slave with my two fender deluxe 85 amps I could get his sound. But I had to crank the bass all the way up on the bass amp.
First off, buddy blaze painted the guitar long before he let dimebag borrow it. Second off. The primal concrete sledge was a Washburn. Notice how it has a Washburn and not a dean headstock in the live video?
the Randall RG100HT and RG100ES are the same amplifier, the only difference is the cabinet. ES = Standard head, HT = rack head. It is the same circuit, the same schematic file from randall.
Dime is my hero u did a grate job in this video bro. Thank u
Man, I love this series!
I'm new to this channel but I've already seen the Kirk Hammett episode, the Jim Root one and the Mick Thompson one.
So, I don't know if it already exists, but I would also love to see a James Hetfield episode and a John Petrucci episode.
When I said I got the dimebag sound. It was a long time ago, but all my friends at the time said how did you get that sound. Part of playing is learning to get the sound you want. At that time I was right into Pantera. So I fucked around with what I had & nailed it. I saw him live twice. Wish I could have met him. This is why certain pedals & amps can do pretty much anything if you know how to do it. I'm just a pub rock player most of the time, BUT that was a sound I really wanted. So I got it.
Good job! 🤘😎🤘
2:25 wrong. he had the DiMarzio DP100 as the neck pickup in the Dean from Hell. he used Seymour Duncan 59 in the Washburns.
Far i as know, the Culprit was made around 98' for the 101 Proof
you forgot an important piece of gear, the MXR Doubler/Flanger that he had in his amps FX-loop. but you were really accurate.
Very very interesting! Off topic, my hat is off to you, for your service. Former col. German Air Force
I've been searching far and wide to find out what brand the Concrete Sledge guitar was. Didn't think it was a Dean bc of the headstock, although I know they make one now. But then again th 90's was a bit more lawless regarding copyright stuff. Thanks for a great vid! RIP Dime & Vince!
It wasn't a Dean. It was actually a Kramer.
Nice job Ray!!!
Awesome research buddy! Thank you.
I don't think it was Buddy Blaze that added the pickups to the Dean from Hell. Dime apparently searched long for pickups he liked, and landed on the Bill Lawrence L500-XL in the bridge, but did not settle for the Duncan 59 BRIDGE in the neck position until much later. In the video for Cowboys from Hell the Dean has a black neck pickup, and I have seen photos of it with an L500 (there was 4 different models) of some sort in the neck during the Power Metal era. To this day the Dean from Hell has a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the neck position.
Good job man.
Loved this!
Thanks Mel!
The sledge ML was not a Dean. Pretty sure it was a Jackson.
True! It's scale was longer from what I have read. 25.5
Everyone gets confused about this guitar but the Sledge was actually a Dean body with a reverse 80's Washhurn neck. The Dean neck was broke and Dime steamed it out and added the Washburn neck then had Ric Duppstadt paint it as we all know it today.
Dude his tone is amazing to me. a lot of people say its trash but I don't think they know it was for a purpose
Rockin' Video!
Randall amps and stock Washburn set up is as close as I've got.
First Krank amp gigs were never a real Krank gig!
He had a few Krank heads onstage but he was still using his Randall RG rack amps on his rack setup!
Forgot to mention right from the beginning that the Rocktron Silencer was a major component in his rig right from the beginning.
That shit was noisy mate...
I wish there were more options out there for Dimebags style of guitars I want something else but everything's sold
He also designed the Dixie rebel ML by hand in a drawing thats floating around.
Official release of the Washburn culprit was 1998
Awesome vid dude! New subscriber here! Alex Lifeson been done yet?..😁🤘🏽
HEY THANKS! Not yet I'll get on it
Probably because everyone is afraid of being deafened by the ridiculous amount of gain!
Correction. RANDALL warhead was only used as a clean channel as he used a A/B switch to change amps!
Warhead heads were never used as his main channel!
Great vid!
Hey thanks!
Correction....Dime did not pass away... He was MURDERED...
I Think Dime Also Ran The PQ3 Into a mxr Finger Doubler
Great Channel. Do one on Kirk Hammett.
Thanks Al. That will def be my next one. He is very requested
Wah pedal
Dimebag used a wah pedal alot to on alot of solos.
4:53 Dimebag got his culprit in 1998.
dime only used the warheads for clean tones! he used the rg100es for his main tones!
Very interesting!
thanks boss! Hope you're doing well!
@@xanderraymondcharles You're welcome bro! I'm quiet ok! 🤓
Not many people know this but on 5 minutes alone thats not the dean from hell its a version dean made for dime to make another version of the dean from hell
The washburn culprit is from 99-2000
Snakeskin Washburn was used in the studio and live for Sandblasted Skin
And The Underground of America
The first (and only) V guitar I had was a Washburn dime V I bought in 2005. I sold it to pay for a speeding ticket. I wish I still had it
Damn man that’s a shame
