    This was a great trip for me, really happy how it came out. You will have to wait a bit for the Dimebag Guitar video though that will be in a separate video. But here's the trip surrounding that. Hope you enjoy it, if you like it please put a thumbs up and subscribe!

    Funny story. I'm the other guy at the grave in red. I saw him walk up and thought "Wow, this guys looks exactly like Ola Englund," hence my confused look. I got home and saw he posted the picture of my grave and I regretted not say anything. Luckily I got to meet him at the Zakk Sabbath concert

    I met them and hung out in their dressing room on the Reinventing the Steel tour. I was working for Guitar Center Detroit at the time, and got called to repair Pete Sandoval of Morbid Angel's kit. As repayment, I hung out with them, and Max Cavalera during his time with Soulfly and watched Pantera perform from beside the drum riser by the sound board. Afterward, they invited me back to their dressing room, where I got to meet Rex, Dime, and Vinnie (Phil had a headache, I'm over it).
    Dime was the absolute nicest guy, running around making sure everyone had a beer, even little old me. He was just so good and had such energy that made you feel so good to be near him. Vinnie even sat and let me just geek out and talk shop with him, he was so kind and patient. And Rex was such a real person, just a genuine guy who was out with his friends making the best music possible.
    It was glorious, imprinted onto my brain indelibly forever. Rest in a Vulgar Display of Power, boys.

    Years and years ago I met Dimebag outside the Brixton Academy in the UK before a show,.My friend and I arrived really early before anybody was queuing just to see if we could meet any of the band. We hung around for a while and there was no sign of anybody so decided to head off and get some food, just as we turned around walking towards us in the distance was a man with a pink beard. We thought he might just say hi and keep going but he stopped and talked to us for nearly half an hour just about everything and anything, he had been record shopping in Camden and showed us what he'd bought. I'll always remember that moment as he was one of the few guitar hero's that I've met that was actually as cool as I thought he would be.

Met my current GF at the venue you were in for Demons and Wizards, got my first guitar from that Guitar Center and recognized every place filmed in the video. The memorial made me tear up. I'll never get over either one of them leaving us. God bless those Texas boys. Thx for this video.

    When I was 15, I started listening to Pantera. As time went on, me and my friends became more and more and more obsessed. We watched the Pantera home videos for inspiration before our drunken teenage escapades. My friends all played guitar except me. I just always felt I would never be good enough to jam with my friends and especially with my friend Julio (real name Justin).
    He was on a goddamn quest for Dimebags chugging tone. He was fucking amazing and wrote riffs that were really his sound . Julio and I, would steal any magazine with Dimebag in it. We read everything he said and loved that guy like a brother. My friendship with him was deeply connected with Dimebag...then he became super religious.
    He gave away his guitars, CD's and gear...Damageplan was coming here not that long after Julio's awakening. Me and my friends bought a ticket for him, he wouldn't even take it. Not long after Dimebag was killed. I called him because I wanted to talk with someone who understood my pain...I cried like I sprained my pussy...he never had a hint of grief in his voice. I felt so alone.
    I watched this Vlog and it made me feel a bit better about Dimebag being gone. I don't feel so alone...But it still reminds me of the death of my friendship with Julio, which actually inspired me too learn and play guitar and in my own way keep the Dimebag spirit alive.
    It was heavy too watch in the video you visiting the grave, I can't imagine actually being there. Thank you for sharing Ola.
    PS I got too interview Vinnie in 2005 for a magazine. He was she a fucking great dude. instagram.com/p/BkWzYKGhZxw/

They really seemed the happiest people in the world, making their music, having fun, being very grateful to their fans. It gives much nostalgia and helplessness everything that happened 😢. The best people, it seems, are the ones who have to go to heaven, far from this horrible world, too horrible, for people as good as them. Thanks for this video, at least it gives us a little idea of ​​what a part of their lives was like. Greetings from Argentina🤘🤘
