You know it's truuuuueeee!" 🤣 anybody else say afterwards "Everything I do, I do it for youuuuuuu?" Or just me? I wonder if that was what Dime was quoting lol. What a great character to go with his metal guitar chops. A real artist, every real artist has unique characteristics and Dime was no different. You know it's him when you hear him. Hoping that the two Abbott brothers are reunited somewhere, ripping a few licks and chillin. RIP fellas, God Speed🙏🎸🥁
I made it to about the 12minute mark and just lost it. We were all robbed of a national treasure. A beautiful soul that, in spite of his immeasurable talent and fame, never even once considered himself better than anyone.
Dimebag and Layne Stayle are the only musicians I truly miss , i shed a tear each time i see videos like this. I never met them, but they sure made it feel like I did. Rest up Dime, your are truly missed. 🙏
Amazing. Was in high school in the '90s and was a huge Pantera fan. Dimebag was easily the best metal guitarist of that era in my opinion. Made everything look so easy and effortless. The guy was a beast. R.I.P brother.
Best metal guitarist of the era and arguably one of the top guitarists of all time! Definitely one of my favorites to ever live. And he plays SO effortlessly. No matter the day, no matter how intoxicated, once he picks up a guitar it’s game over.
@@drewbocop It is really incredible what he did on guitar. So strange how every now and again these people come along and change everything! Him, EVH, Hendrix, Page, B.B.etc.
I saw Pantera play in 1981 in Arlington at what is now Bowie High. I remember this little kid blowing us away on guitar. It was 15 year old Dime... he was amazing even then! 🤘
I got to spend time with him one day in the early 90. All day. Before and after the gig. I was with the opening band at Annie's in Cincinnati. He called me bro a few times that day. That meant everything to me then but even more now. We talked about his rig and he wanted my brothers 69 Marshall cream color cabinet that he wouldn't let go. Dime said a have a blank check just name the price brother. He treated us with so much respect. We gave that in return. I went to his grave not long after he was murdered. It was just me him and the sun going down. I told him he didn't deserve to go out like that and I loved him. I drank a beer then poured him one out. I smoked a joint and left one on his grave. I cried like a fucking baby. Now Vinn is with him. That's because Vinn had a broken heart. We miss you Abbott Brothers. Getcha Pull. Full Pull.
Sometimes I miss Dimes too much and come here and hang out a bit. Then I read some truth like yours and I cry and realize just how big the hole left behind is, even all those years later. Peace brother.
I come back to this every so often. His scales and grit are so recognizable. He's up there with David Gilmour, Jimi Hendrix, and EVH as far as throwing down a solo and knowing exactly who's playing it. I always think of him as a raunchier southern-fried EVH mixed with some Randy Rhoads splashed in.
Hell yeah dude. Some people you just know instantly. I think that's a sure sign of greatness. To not just be very good at your craft, but to be defined.
That's the only good thing EVH ever did he was a smart mouth drunk and blamed Randy Rhoads from stealing riffs from him amd Randy didn't do it George Lynch said the same thing
@@isopropyltoxicity Wtf does Eddies personality have do with anything ? Dime held Eddie in high regard bc he's a guitar player , while everyone in the comments are fans ! And " fanboy " is like a preteen insult , grow up d bag ! Eddie was one of the best to ever do it and so was Randy Rhoads ! Eddie and Randy were innovative as hell ! The difference being Randy was heavily influenced by classical and how it could be translated to modern rock guitar and Eddie was much more blues influenced...get shit right b4 you say Eddie aint shit !
@@jaquestraw1 I believe that's not what he would've wanted. Of course it's sad but I bet he would'nt want everybody to feel sorry/be sad about his death for the rest of their lives. Better keep the fun and impact he had on music in your heart. ;)
@@noodles6390 He not dead. Just murdered but he lives in his music and people who listen to his music is hold him in this world. Let's listen to everything what Dime made.
Always made it all look effortless 🤘🏽. Something that I always felt was under appreciated about him was his willingness to share his “secrets”. Dude always showed his tricks and was happy to break it down. He had no ego. One of the coolest individuals to grace a stage. Blessed to have met him a few times and seen him crush it with Pantera.
I would have given anything to have been there that day at this clinc! The playing was insane but..... My favorite part is watching Dime with his fans. R.I.P. Dime, you were truly a man among men and a stand up guy!!! You are so missed
I was disappointed they all seemed too star struck to really engage him and talk. It seems like that's what he wanted (to be engaged). Hell I would have gone full technical guitarist with him and really drilled him about his ideas!!!! Still awesome, though.
I never was into Pantera. I’ve heard “Walk” maybe ten times but that’s about it. But from Darrel’s lessons he wrote for guitar world. (I think) His personality came through on paper, so I always read his articles because I liked his attitude.

He listens to what people say, and doesn't just wait for his turn to speak. My ol man went to school w him, said he truly was approachable and kind. Still friends w Glaze to this day..
I feel that, & i realize he & John were taken from us, but dying is dying. I still miss Bon, i never really got over that. He was the man, & then he was gone. So i feel this too, i play a little guitar & Dime & Edwards passing has been gutting. Eddie is my Dime & talk about genuine people. RIP Dime…Ed…Bon…Vinnie
If you watch videos about dime and see older musicians from the area and time where he was, apparently he was just a humble guitarist who went to go see local bands all the time even when pantera was at its fame and not touring it shows how powerful someone who is so in touch with the music and what they can leave behind
I had the great opportunity to meet him after Pantera's show in Geneva in early 2000. He was standing behind me, between 2 big black bodyguard, watching metal show and driking beer!Dim was soooooo nice that he understood I was a HUGE FAN .He simply invited me for a drink. That was my very best night ever. RIP dude million of fan miss U
@@youcancallmeKIRK idk, maybe because they were the only ones available at the time? Or maybe because they had an extra shift Either way we don't know, but is it a surprise both white and black do security work?
I really love how Dime makes that comment about how he would get an album expecting to get his ass kicked but then be let down and then go back out to find a band that would lay it down on the level that he wanted to hear... This attitude is really the heart of metal music... If you want a job done right and you wanna pulverize the listener, do it yourself!!! I miss you dude.... You truly define the essence of what this craft is all about. RIP
one extremely cool guy! I understand why he was so loved! I met him briefly in 2000,very good natured and positive guy, and he was a millionaire rock star,he didn't have an ego!zero! and was of the greatest ever, but more importantly, a very nice man,just loved life and his fan's were his friends!
17:40 - Breathing into mic for some reason 26:30 - Also breathing into mic for some reason 33:00 - Speaking from the heart The guy came to my hometown once, I didn't get to see him, but he was at a local guitar store and I would like to think he wasn't just doing these appearances for the money, because you can see clearly how enthusiastic he is here in this video just to talk to these hardcore fans. He practically begs them for questions. Then he literally gives a small masterclass in guitaring for dummies because he was a truly humble and passionate guitarist. This footage is priceless.
I love that. How he starts it off. The boring dude that was repping for Randall shuts up, Dime walks out, doesn't even look at the crowd, just yells "Sup!" Thats awesome. He seems like he was such a great guy
@@XtremeKillah101I think hes just high on life and being the most badass guitarist and person in the world at that time..maybe a little weed and alcohol too lol
There's so many out there, we need to support them. Some day I will become a musician too and I wish I had a little bit of Dime's humility than talent, he was insane. Rest in peace, buddy.
Partied with him in 2001. He’s exactly how he seems. We were two dumb 18 yo kids in their dressing room after a show with Pantera, slayer, static x, and morbid angel, and Dime and Vinnie treated us like we were old friends. Drank black tooth’s, threw beers to me in the shower, signed shit and took pictures on my disposable camera. Dude was an absolute legend in every way
You're literally watching a video on the internet of this.. recorded just like someone would do today but it's with a camcorder and not a phone, and you're freely able to enjoy it due to UA-cam and the internet. People definitely asked for pictures after with Dime, and people took bootleg pictures, recordings and videos back in the day during shows also.. The only difference is everyone couldn't afford a nice camera and camcorder. Like imagine if someone had turned to this dude video taping this and said " Bro just live in the moment, why do you have to video tape? " Same thing.
Yep. I smoked a J with him a couple dudes on the deck of a riverboat casino back in 2003. Dude was nice and talked with anyone who said hello. Vince was downstairs still gambling, didn't have a chance to talk with him.
"Questions on anything you just checked out? Questions... (11:11) Come on, come on, come on... this is your chance dude; bust my shit, man!... let me know what's up" That WAS there one and only chance... and then this other-worldly guitar genius went beyond the veil... forever! 18 years on... and I'd STILL have given my left HAND to have been present at that Arlington Texas clinic... and I'm thinkin' I ain't alone!!! Flights of Metal Angels see thee to thy rest, Dime... forever loved. Mike D.
He was so kind and genuine to his fans. Guitar aside, he was just a great fucking person. You can learn a lot just watching him interact with everyone while signing autographs. You know it’s true!
darrell was so funny man, just loving life loving guitar, you can tell everyone he met and interacted with he was the life of the party cracking jokes.... RIP DIME
It’s so crazy to see this because his guitar is literally an extension of him as a person. And those are the people who will always be remembered generations from now
I never listened to a ton of Pantera and never even heard a dimebag interview but i teared up at the start of this video just hearin him speak and knowin how much he meant to Pantera fans and how insanely talented he was. Just a shame what happened to him.
I get so angry, so mad, so pissed when i think that someone was capable of killing Dime, why the fuck would you? why someone would want him dead? He was GOD, such a nice guy and one of the most incredible talented musician ever.
I was just thinking the same thing when I was watching him sign the autographs and just bullshittin with the fans at the end. I think it's funny how he kept saying "you know its true"...LOL.
Luca Luz it was because some idiot ex marine wasn't on his med and when Phil left due to his drug problem, this marine thought it was dimebags fault. that marine is dead and rotting in hell for his sin.
Marine corps guy just came back from combat and when pantera broke up he freaked out and that's why he shot dimebag and other people before a police officer blasted him in the face with a shotgun.
I’m now nearly 32, I can remember being in school when we got the issue of metal hammer announcing Dimes death and paying tribute to him. I remember walking to college with Pantera loaded up on my MP3 player, and now here I am still watching videos of Dime Play. This guy was a fucking guitar GOD. I mean fuck, look at him rip. No-one has ever played like that EVER. What a loss. Fuck that prick that pulled the trigger that day.
Absolutely fantastic 😢 Rest Peacefully Dimebag Daryl Abbott nearly 20 year since you were taking away from the world still can't believe it! 😢 The Best 👌 Rest Peacefully Vincent Abbott 😢 Unbelievable there both gone!!
The guitar was built for Dimebag Darrell. He is a prodigy of a guitar player. Watching him plays is like seeing a unicorn in person you realize how rare and special of a guitar player he is.
21:36 "You ever get a chance to meet [Steve Vai] or anything? Talk to him?" "No, I heard he's into us though. I heard he's got a singer and made him skin his head back a little" That was in reference to Devin Townsend.
If this interview is in 1993, that would've been literally the year he was starting to become a name in music. Weird to think about considering how big a deal he is now.
I bet they were too stunned to speak/ask questions at first... I would be too. He's such an amazing and down to earth dude, done his best to make everyone feel confortable and not intimidated by his presence
I think he developed such a personality because he was so good people probably felt intimated around him so he got real good at breaking the ice and was very likeable
I just turned 13 years old when Vulgar Display was released. I remember obtaining a new cassette, opening it, smelling the plastic, carboard sleeve, and ink. I remember seeing the colored pictures inside with their names. I remember seeing Dime's picture and thinking this is the guy who is on guitar, and still didn't think he was real. Their music was a big part of my teenage years. Memories that I'll treasure until the day I die. Thank you, Dime.
Ahhh...memories. The smell of new tape plastic. For me, I would have to add the smell of old fast food in a hot car in Texas as I pop the tape into the deck.
That’s a very cool story. I was a bit older so I went to the shows. It was everything you imagine and more. Now crank up the VOLUME in your imagination X 10, turn the lights off and on real fucking fast and have a churning melee of crazed, drunken, stoned, hardcore PANTERA fans flying all around you. WITH THOSE DUDES as the deafening soundtrack for this sensory overload. It was a scene for damn sure.
@@philstone3859 I can't even imagine that. We can't choose the times we grew up in but that period of the early to mid 90's will never be replicated. Nobody will understand having a Walkman or Discman and listening to cassettes or CD's on the school bus. I wouldn't change anything about it. Great times.
I absolutely LOVED VDOP, to the extent that the album cover patch of the guy getting punched is sewn on the back of my leather jacket with two circular CFH patches sewn on either shoulder to commemorate the best metal band I ever heard in my life...
I’m so jealous of the people that were there for this. There are so many questions I want to ask him, I wanna tell him how influential he would be to an entire generation of guitar players. How he doesn’t understand his own importance.. he was born mere man, but ascended to Godhood. Rest Easy Dime. We miss you!
Jesus. Go easy on the religion. He was one of the best guitar players (and probably the most social one) but that don't give him godhood. One of the things to likeable about him is his down-to-earthness. Would he have known of his importance, he would have lost that and become a jazz player. So be glad he didn't know his value.
@@domanz1 shit imma start the church of Dime and the tithes will be riffs and we’ll squeal harmonics in prayer and services will be dissecting different Pantera and Damageplan Riffs. Don’t mistake my hyperbole for idiocy. I’m not going to worship a man. You need a chill pill my guy.
He knew. I think he did understand his influence. But this man had ZERO ego. He remained this way even later into his career, based on some accounts I've heard from the early Damageplan days.
Dime was so fucking cool man...hanging out with fans after everyone already left and just bullshitting with them. And at the end he's asking the guy if the tone of his guitar sounded good.....so he was still wanted to know what it sounded like to the crowd....idk. Just one cool dude. I met him once and it was one of the best days of my life..very surreal seeing your favorite band and guitar player a foot away from you....
This is my favorite thing ever man, dime was such a sweetheart. I've never been so obsessed with a musician. I have tatted on me, I've visited his grave, I have a dimebolt, I play randall. I love the Abbott bros so much man. May the Abbott family all rest in peace. ❤
I never had the opportunity to see dime while he was living, but i have visited him three times to pay my respect. One of the best humans to grace the earth, you are still missed Dime.

I feel that, & i realize he & John were taken from us, but dying is dying. I still miss Bon, i never really got over that. He was the man, & then he was gone. So i feel this too, i play a little guitar & Dime & Edwards passing has been gutting. Eddie is my Dime & talk about genuine people. RIP Dime…Ed…Bon…Vinnie
If you watch videos about dime and see older musicians from the area and time where he was, apparently he was just a humble guitarist who went to go see local bands all the time even when pantera was at its fame and not touring it shows how powerful someone who is so in touch with the music and what they can leave behind
Man, I miss Dimebag.
I haven't ever heard anyone else who plays like he did.
RiP x
Same here dude. Incredible playing and his aproach towards life.
Thank you. \m/
And you will never hear it again, Dine was on his own planet.
Dime did make the guitar seem so easy, but we all know that it takes hours and days of practice to play with such intensity!! R.I.P. Dime!! 🤘🤘🤘
"You knoooow its trueee"
RIP DIME
I've been getting people to say this phrase the way Dime does for years now.
I say this every once in a while. Any idea where it's from?
Bryan Lettow I always assumed they were joking on that line from “Everything I Do” by Bryan Adams since it was such a popular song in the early 90s
TwoLameDucks Thanks I'll look it up
I still say that to this day. People look at me funny afterwards lol
I had the great opportunity to meet him after Pantera's show in Geneva in early 2000. He was standing behind me, between 2 big black bodyguard, watching metal show and driking beer!Dim was soooooo nice that he understood I was a HUGE FAN .He simply invited me for a drink. That was my very best night ever. RIP dude million of fan miss U
CFH Ramel Why the bodyguards gotta be black though?
@@youcancallmeKIRK idk, maybe because they were the only ones available at the time? Or maybe because they had an extra shift
Either way we don't know, but is it a surprise both white and black do security work?
you're a lucky guy man
CFH Ramel Great memory of Dime!! I miss him so much...he is legend and will live on forever! Great post..raise it up high brother \m/
Why black bodyguards?? Well that's a dumb question.
I really love how Dime makes that comment about how he would get an album expecting to get his ass kicked but then be let down and then go back out to find a band that would lay it down on the level that he wanted to hear... This attitude is really the heart of metal music... If you want a job done right and you wanna pulverize the listener, do it yourself!!! I miss you dude.... You truly define the essence of what this craft is all about. RIP
Dime was way ahead of the sound, he had a passion for music, just a down to earth dude. Loved what he did and wanted to share with others.
Man, he wasn't just one of the best guitarists ever, he had a great fucking personality. :)
THIS is why Dimebag is and always will be awesome.
Nathan ni
one extremely cool guy! I understand why he was so loved! I met him briefly in 2000,very good natured and positive guy, and he was a millionaire rock star,he didn't have an ego!zero! and was of the greatest ever, but more importantly, a very nice man,just loved life and his fan's were his friends!
He is always himself and letting no one change that
17:40 - Breathing into mic for some reason
26:30 - Also breathing into mic for some reason
33:00 - Speaking from the heart
The guy came to my hometown once, I didn't get to see him, but he was at a local guitar store and I would like to think he wasn't just doing these appearances for the money, because you can see clearly how enthusiastic he is here in this video just to talk to these hardcore fans. He practically begs them for questions. Then he literally gives a small masterclass in guitaring for dummies because he was a truly humble and passionate guitarist. This footage is priceless.
Good call on the breathing 😂 I do weird breathing shit while teaching too.
This dude was really something else, absolute fkn legend & his personality matched his playing. I could listen to him play forever. Rest easy Dime ❤️
I love that. How he starts it off. The boring dude that was repping for Randall shuts up, Dime walks out, doesn't even look at the crowd, just yells "Sup!" Thats awesome. He seems like he was such a great guy
Lmao dime acted like he was on some shit. Maybe Adderall or something
But the energy he brings to the crowd is awesome
@@XtremeKillah101I think hes just high on life and being the most badass guitarist and person in the world at that time..maybe a little weed and alcohol too lol
@@XtremeKillah101 I heard Phil say in an interview once that dime used to microdose acid. Could be that
@@Skinard14 I highly doubt he’s on acid in this lol
I tear up about 10 minutes in every time I see this ..Miss you Brother! I will find you one day . R.I.P......
He was always so willing and even enthusiastic to peel back the curtain on his craft, setup, and techniques and share it with others. Gotta love Dime.
Such an underrated characteristic of his. Dude had no ego.
If more modern musicians had the humility and talent of this man......jesus what a world it would be
Walpurgisnacht9 forget imagine if they had at least the originality and creativity this guy had
Amen. Dime was a true gem of a musician, and from what I understand an INCREDIBLY nice human being.
There's so many out there, we need to support them.
Some day I will become a musician too and I wish I had a little bit of Dime's humility than talent, he was insane.
Rest in peace, buddy.
Man!! He has to have been the nicest, coolest guy in metal history!
No ego, dude. Down to earth as you get.
You’ll hear countless stories of people that partied with Dime all saying the same thing.
Partied with him in 2001. He’s exactly how he seems. We were two dumb 18 yo kids in their dressing room after a show with Pantera, slayer, static x, and morbid angel, and Dime and Vinnie treated us like we were old friends. Drank black tooth’s, threw beers to me in the shower, signed shit and took pictures on my disposable camera. Dude was an absolute legend in every way
Dude rocks a confederate flag guitar
@@totesmagotes3688 Its true. \m/
to have such talent and be so incredibly humble is truly inspiring
Came here right after they just announced that Tour for 2023.....NOBODY comes close to sounding like him. He was just on another level. 😥
A mere 25 years ago and no phones everywhere, no selfies, no pics, just the artist and the fans. What have we become?
You're literally watching a video on the internet of this.. recorded just like someone would do today but it's with a camcorder and not a phone, and you're freely able to enjoy it due to UA-cam and the internet. People definitely asked for pictures after with Dime, and people took bootleg pictures, recordings and videos back in the day during shows also.. The only difference is everyone couldn't afford a nice camera and camcorder. Like imagine if someone had turned to this dude video taping this and said " Bro just live in the moment, why do you have to video tape? " Same thing.
@@arsonne couldn’t have said it better myself I mean Jesus, I get tired of those types of comments.
This man just said they wrote vulgar display of power in two weeks.. holy shit
Never knew he was such a nice person. RIP
Yep. I smoked a J with him a couple dudes on the deck of a riverboat casino back in 2003. Dude was nice and talked with anyone who said hello. Vince was downstairs still gambling, didn't have a chance to talk with him.
"Questions on anything you just checked out? Questions... (11:11) Come on, come on, come on... this is your chance dude; bust my shit, man!... let me know what's up" That WAS there one and only chance... and then this other-worldly guitar genius went beyond the veil... forever! 18 years on... and I'd STILL have given my left HAND to have been present at that Arlington Texas clinic... and I'm thinkin' I ain't alone!!! Flights of Metal Angels see thee to thy rest, Dime... forever loved. Mike D.
Dimebag seemed the kind of guy that had no beefs,hanged around with everyone,fucking cool guy.
Rest in Riffs!
I could listen to him just talk for hours...dimebonics all the way getcha pull!
Kevin M , haha, dimebonics, you and me both. That's what I'm talkin bout....Getcha Pull!!!\m/
Ya know it's true.
He was so kind and genuine to his fans. Guitar aside, he was just a great fucking person. You can learn a lot just watching him interact with everyone while signing autographs. You know it’s true!
darrell was so funny man, just loving life loving guitar, you can tell everyone he met and interacted with he was the life of the party cracking jokes.... RIP DIME
i had no idea he was this nice of a bloke.
Rich Bardy never changed til the day he died. Always a gentleman. Always made sure everyone around him was having fun.
he was the best.
Me either. He seemed really great. I feel like I'm missing someone I never knew.
This made me cry.
I hung with him a few times at Vince's. He was always extremely hospitable to me. He just wanted everyone to have fun.
This video proves that Dime is the finest balance between technique and soul. Unbelievable how tidy and accurate he is.
Completely agree! You just summed up why he is my favorite guitarist.
This is literally one of the greatest videos ever. I'm going to record it on VHS just so I can cry about it deteriorating.
It’s so crazy to see this because his guitar is literally an extension of him as a person. And those are the people who will always be remembered generations from now
I actually teared up watching this a little bit, dunno why this hit like that today , rip dime
@Maniac 5000 hey I appreciate the kind words brotha!
Me too. God damn the garbage POS that took him from us. I won't even try to remember or say his name. The only name that matters to me is Dime Bag.
Same. F'ing world sucks fucks.
You're a human being sad about the premature death of Dime man!
EVH has been gone almost 2 years and I ain't been the same since.
Dime 's sound is so heavy like two Guitars and a Bass player all in one ...
I think its because of the way he tuned it
@@user-xm5fo3bo3twhat tuning is he normally in?
I never listened to a ton of Pantera and never even heard a dimebag interview but i teared up at the start of this video just hearin him speak and knowin how much he meant to Pantera fans and how insanely talented he was. Just a shame what happened to him.
Dime was such a character. He had his own language, his own guitar sound, his own technique. Definitely a standout in the guitar hero pantheon.
He made his guitar walk and talk just like he did.
@@derekmartinez7134 Exactly!
The reality of when you realize he’s not here anymore. Very empty feeling. Graced us with his presence for a short time.
how the fuck could somebody kill him ?!
I get so angry, so mad, so pissed when i think that someone was capable of killing Dime, why the fuck would you? why someone would want him dead? He was GOD, such a nice guy and one of the most incredible talented musician ever.
I was just thinking the same thing when I was watching him sign the autographs and just bullshittin with the fans at the end. I think it's funny how he kept saying "you know its true"...LOL.
Luca Luz it was because some idiot ex marine wasn't on his med and when Phil left due to his drug problem, this marine thought it was dimebags fault. that marine is dead and rotting in hell for his sin.
mental illness needs to become more of a global priority so tragedies like this never occur again
Marine corps guy just came back from combat and when pantera broke up he freaked out and that's why he shot dimebag and other people before a police officer blasted him in the face with a shotgun.
I’m now nearly 32, I can remember being in school when we got the issue of metal hammer announcing Dimes death and paying tribute to him. I remember walking to college with Pantera loaded up on my MP3 player, and now here I am still watching videos of Dime Play. This guy was a fucking guitar GOD. I mean fuck, look at him rip. No-one has ever played like that EVER.
What a loss. Fuck that prick that pulled the trigger that day.
Love how at the end, he asking the other guys about how his tone sounded. You could tell he really cared about his live sound and tone in general.
Back again, 277th time ,anyone else back for more?
Yeah man. God rest his soul.
me
How do you not have a question for Dime?
JonV too many questions to think perhaps
JonV it’s hard meeting your heroes. You don’t really know what to say because you probably never thought you would meet them
hes dead
@@nastylittlecritter Yea, is for me at least. I met Vinnie Moore after a show in Nashville and I couldn't think of anything to say. LOL
@@nastylittlecritter agree. I am that also every time i get to meet my heroes. fuck i cant even look them straght
Absolutely fantastic 😢 Rest Peacefully Dimebag Daryl Abbott nearly 20 year since you were taking away from the world still can't believe it! 😢 The Best 👌 Rest Peacefully Vincent Abbott 😢 Unbelievable there both gone!!
The guitar was built for Dimebag Darrell. He is a prodigy of a guitar player. Watching him plays is like seeing a unicorn in person you realize how rare and special of a guitar player he is.
21:36
"You ever get a chance to meet [Steve Vai] or anything? Talk to him?"
"No, I heard he's into us though. I heard he's got a singer and made him skin his head back a little"
That was in reference to Devin Townsend.
If this interview is in 1993, that would've been literally the year he was starting to become a name in music. Weird to think about considering how big a deal he is now.
Holy shit
Watching his interaction with the fans is one the best parts, he was sincerely a great guy.
I bet they were too stunned to speak/ask questions at first... I would be too. He's such an amazing and down to earth dude, done his best to make everyone feel confortable and not intimidated by his presence
I think he developed such a personality because he was so good people probably felt intimated around him so he got real good at breaking the ice and was very likeable
@@johnnyhammersticks72 well said!
2022 and I'm still here taking lessons from the great one.. Dime is and will always be in a league of his own. Rest in Power brother
I just turned 13 years old when Vulgar Display was released. I remember obtaining a new cassette, opening it, smelling the plastic, carboard sleeve, and ink. I remember seeing the colored pictures inside with their names. I remember seeing Dime's picture and thinking this is the guy who is on guitar, and still didn't think he was real. Their music was a big part of my teenage years. Memories that I'll treasure until the day I die. Thank you, Dime.
Ahhh...memories. The smell of new tape plastic. For me, I would have to add the smell of old fast food in a hot car in Texas as I pop the tape into the deck.
Same age. Damn. We loved Tampora, the little group of degenerate junior high metalheads I ran around with. Great days gone bye.
That’s a very cool story. I was a bit older so I went to the shows. It was everything you imagine and more. Now crank up the VOLUME in your imagination X 10, turn the lights off and on real fucking fast and have a churning melee of crazed, drunken, stoned, hardcore PANTERA fans flying all around you. WITH THOSE DUDES as the deafening soundtrack for this sensory overload. It was a scene for damn sure.
@@philstone3859 I can't even imagine that. We can't choose the times we grew up in but that period of the early to mid 90's will never be replicated. Nobody will understand having a Walkman or Discman and listening to cassettes or CD's on the school bus. I wouldn't change anything about it. Great times.
I absolutely LOVED VDOP, to the extent that the album cover patch of the guy getting punched is sewn on the back of my leather jacket with two circular CFH patches sewn on either shoulder to commemorate the best metal band I ever heard in my life...
6:57 - crowd stops asking questions.
Dime: “Jeeeezus. Let’s fucking jam man.”
thank you for saving this vid lol
FOREVER STRONGER THAN ALL 🤘🤘 WE miss you Brotherman 😔😢
What a sweet dude he was. this video is pure gold, thank you for that!
Man, aside from being a monster player, he seemed like such a down to earth dude. Wish he was still around. Rest in peace Dime
Hour long video but shit I loved every second. Dimebag was one of a kind and seems to have been the coolest fucking dude ever. Also awesome hair.
Thx for posting this, made me happy inside!
Dime is on another level I dont think we willl see again sadly .... hes the man 😢 miss ya dime
my god the questions I would have if I met this man. actually I'd probably be speechless.
I’m so jealous of the people that were there for this. There are so many questions I want to ask him, I wanna tell him how influential he would be to an entire generation of guitar players. How he doesn’t understand his own importance.. he was born mere man, but ascended to Godhood. Rest Easy Dime. We miss you!
Jesus. Go easy on the religion. He was one of the best guitar players (and probably the most social one) but that don't give him godhood. One of the things to likeable about him is his down-to-earthness. Would he have known of his importance, he would have lost that and become a jazz player. So be glad he didn't know his value.
@@domanz1 shit imma start the church of Dime and the tithes will be riffs and we’ll squeal harmonics in prayer and services will be dissecting different Pantera and Damageplan Riffs.
Don’t mistake my hyperbole for idiocy. I’m not going to worship a man. You need a chill pill my guy.
He knew. I think he did understand his influence. But this man had ZERO ego. He remained this way even later into his career, based on some accounts I've heard from the early Damageplan days.
@@domanz1 If Dime played Jazz i would hear that
@@PeteOliva i wouldn't say zero. You have to have a certain level of bravado and confidence. He knew how to be humble though.
22:13 The way he responds to this question says a lot. He really didn’t overthink it and played from feel.
Torn between happy and sad watching this, amazing to see how humble and open he is. There will never be another. R.i.p xx
This would be my time machine moment...
Dime was so fucking cool man...hanging out with fans after everyone already left and just bullshitting with them. And at the end he's asking the guy if the tone of his guitar sounded good.....so he was still wanted to know what it sounded like to the crowd....idk. Just one cool dude. I met him once and it was one of the best days of my life..very surreal seeing your favorite band and guitar player a foot away from you....
Dime was one in a million. Gone way too soon.
This is my favorite thing ever man, dime was such a sweetheart. I've never been so obsessed with a musician. I have tatted on me, I've visited his grave, I have a dimebolt, I play randall. I love the Abbott bros so much man. May the Abbott family all rest in peace. ❤
22:49 makes a simple scale sound like no other. A Instantly recognizable style of playing.
Lmfao dude that's the base sound of the scale.
@@chrisking6695 he's saying that Dime is playing a common scale but you can instantly recognize Dime's playing it.
"tighten it up a little bit" dimes motto
Such an amazing soul. It makes me happy that all this footage is around
When you talk about guitarists who made an everlasting mark on the history of the art, you cant leave out dimebag.
5:45: "Questions, anyone anyone... MOM?"❤
I'd love to hear "Did you eat something today honey?" from his mom :D
@@MrRockmann23 Would have been a blast 😂👌
I never had the opportunity to see dime while he was living, but i have visited him three times to pay my respect. One of the best humans to grace the earth, you are still missed Dime.
This is so special thank u so much for this treasure. Miss u Dime
Love Darrell's quirky humour, aswel as his playing so damn much. RIP Brother 🎸 🙏🏻
