Dime would have been 45 today...

[BucketheadRules]

So POST SOME FUCKING DIME!



NOTE: This is not a place for Dimebag hate, or Dean-bashing, or any of that shit. We should celebrate Dimebag because while he was alive he graced us with shit-tons of awesome music, and was undeniably a truly amazing, unique guitarist whether you think he's overrated or not.

RIP Dime.

I like this, it shows a more human side of him (or something or rather)

Huge inspiration to me. Dime was the man

I remember annoying my g/f at the time of CFH's release and I've been a fan ever since.

R.I.P Brother Dime.

Hey no love for the Hair metal "Diamond Darrel"?

Hey no love for the Hair metal "Diamond Darrel"?

I was actually coming in to post some of that

I have a Guitar World poster from around 1994 where the center pic is "Diamond Darrell" of Pantera. \m/

Such awesome stuff! Dime was such a huge inspiration for me when I was growing up and trying to teach myself guitar. Hell, his work is still an inspiration for me today!
As far as my influences go, I'd say that Vulgar Display of Power is right up there with Metallica's Master of Puppets and AIC's Dirt as having the biggest impacts on me as a musician, as well as my playing style/techniques.

He'll always be missed, and I'll always love jamming on those old Pantera tracks!

R.I.P. Dime...

Hey no love for the Hair metal "Diamond Darrel"?

I think he was still called Diamond when they did CFH, wasn't he?

Cowboys is definitely my favourite Pantera album... but the only one I own a hard copy of is a best-of CD, because I can't live without Floods

Man there Dvd's are awesome bunch of funny dudes, but dimes stuff doesn't kick in till the 6:45 mark.

Dimebag always struck me as being one of the most underrated guitarists in metal - he had such a badass stage presence, but in videos off-stage, he was the nicest, most hilarious guy in person. It's a shame I never knew who he was or was into his music until I read of his passing. RIP, Dime.

One of the very reasons I started playing, also one of the greatest influences in my playing!

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

I think like 80% of us learned how to do pinch harmonics because of him and his ridiculously awesome squeelies

5 Minutes Alone is the most ass-stomping track of all time.





DIMEBAG!

The Axe I grind today
*Fuck*

That is still the one guitar that I gas for, I usually gas for other guitars for awhile and go to something else but that fucking guitar is the one that is constant.
