When I was 15 my brother got me backstage passes to a Pantera show. Dime and Vinnie come back after the show toting a case of beer. They were so fucking cool to everybody. Vinnie looks at me and says "you're old enough, right?" with a big smile and tosses me a Budweiser. I felt like the coolest kid on the entire planet for that one brief moment. Legends gone far too soon.
Wow. Where did time go? He talks about Chris Cornell singing on their record, he’s got a Van Halen necklace on, and now Eddie and Chris are both gone as well as Vinnie. Damn. Time. Don’t take it for granted.
Never take a second for granted. The best leaves us before we are ready. R.I.P. To all Rock legends. If there's an afterlife for us all then we have a helluva show waiting for us ..
It really sucks that he, Phil and Rex never got into the same room together again to really work things out. I understand not wanting to reunite Pantera without Dimebag, but to have both brothers die without any sort of reconciliation is just awful. I feel so bad for Phil and Rex, and of course Dimebag and Vinnie’s family.
That’s just what I was thinking watching this. Looks like a cool and friendly dude and I know he was. He and his brother impacted this world and I know I’ll love their music til the day I’m gone.
Rest in Peace Vinnie. I've once met him and he was such a great guy. This was back in 2009, when I was 17 years old, at the Music Fair in Frankfurt (germany). I was a kid with long hair, wearing some metal shirt and I had a pair of drumsticks in my hand. It was easy to say, that I was probably a fan of him or his bands. And he just stood up from his booth and came to me and said "Hi, I am Vinnie! Can I take a picture with you?". That was so great. We had a little talk, took some pictures and he signed my stick (which I still have, also with another autograph from simon phillips from toto).
@@thearthurmartins in my opinion, eddie was the greatest guitar player, wonder what the reaction of dimebag would be when he saw eddie up there with him 🙏
"Van Halen" was the last thing Dimebag told to his brother before being killed that horrible night. They used to say it at the beginning of every concert.
I always loved Vinnie Paul's style of drumming...as soon as I heard he passed I played the guitar to Vulgar Display Of Power album with just Vinnies drum tracks and me playing along to him...I got goose bumps ..R.I.P bro
Yeah, I knew the boys, I'm from dallas, It's a small world... It's just a shame how Talent is never truly appreciated, Till they are gone. Bod bless, one Love.
@@Dankster-yo8xv Chris Cornell? He says Chris Cornell was Dime's favorite vocalist and how he would like to have CS sing for their unreleased songs that he wrote together with Dime. But sadly, both Vinnie and Chris are dead...
The world needs to hear the unreleased tracks! The idea of having Dimes favourite vocalists made me want to shed a tear of joy. Please PLEASE make it happen Vinnie!
I actually had the pleasure of meeting Vinnie Paul in person before he died. He was the nicest guy and he was eager to meet his fans. Rest in Peace Vinnie
“Unreleased damageplan recordings were planned to be made into an album but those plans were scrapped “ .. that was literally the perfect time to say “is it safe to say those plans were damaged ? 🤔 “
Even better, here is a bootleg audio recording ua-cam.com/video/AaR9tot6ImE/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/XsyHDdbI_Ck/v-deo.html That concert is still some of my greatest memories of my life
This was one of the hardest losses I've had in music, this man radiates passion and is so loveable. Nobody ever made 54 look so young, taken way too soon. We miss you, Paul.
Graham you are a very humble interviewer. I know it must be tough to stay cool when interviewing these people, so much respect for you, keep doing this series, and enjoy your day. :)
Part of me is devastated that we, the world lost you today. But the bigger part of me is elated that you get to be with your brother again. Thank you both for the legacy of music that you’ve left behind, that has inspired me beyond words, and has been the soundtrack to the best times of my life, and has pulled me up from the darkest of times. Not a single day will pass that we, the heavy metal community, won’t remember you.
This was hands down one of the hardest videos of Vinnie to watch, as soon as he mentioned Dimebags favorite singers on those unreleased songs. That was tough rip Vinnie and Dime
It gives me chills hearing him talk. Such a great human. Abbot brother are my idols and i regret never having seen them live. May they rest in groove as St Dime and St Vinnie.
RIP to a legend. But it is painful to see how he doesnt even want to talk about Phil. Vinnie seems like a such a fun and lighthearted guy. I really hope that in his heart he realized that he was holding onto anger. Nothing but Love. Phil now shoulders the burden
Ryan F imagina bandas como misfits que dejaron de hablar como 30 años por problemas estupidos estre ellos ahora piensa en phio y vinny que tiene un conflicto mucho mas grande
miko begaye not going to happen man Rex doesn't. like vinnie paul have you read Rex's book about the band i only. read half. rex talked about vinnie and it wasnt pleasnt.
I've read the book too. A reunion is definitely out of the question,no matter how much any of us want it. There's too much bad blood between the members for it too happen. I meant the fact or fiction. Just to hear from Rex.
I was emotional through his whole interview, this is my first time seeing this. When he mentioned Chris Cornell I broke down. RIP Vinnie. We're still Rockin' with you in spirit
I think it's more about the bullshit that Phil was spreading in the press about Dime. It seems like Vinnie may believe (and he was probably right, if he did believe it) that it helped goad the killer into revenge against Dime. And I think a lot of people don't realise that Vinnie was an intended target as well. The gunman was trying to kill both of them, but crew members grabbed Vinnie and pulled him backstage after the shooting erupted and he was trying to run to his brother. They then saw the gunman go behind the drumset, looking for him. I've never really heard anyone acknowledge that.
Jeremy Miller Yes, I know. But Vinnie's behavior has seemed to imply that he believes Phil was a contributing factor to Dime's death. He would know more about the investigation into the killer's motives than any of us, and since it seems he may think it rational that some of Phil's defamatory statements played a role, we're not much in a position to question it. We don't know what he knows. But then again, we don't know for sure that he blames Phil in any way for it - we can only guess, as his bitterness towards him seems a bit too excessive for it to have been born exclusively of whatever went on between them 20 years ago.
I'm not saying forgiveness wouldn't probably have been a better option, just that people aren't in much of a position to decide he's irrational when there are bound to be parts of the story we don't know.
Vinnie lived an extraordinary life. He experienced more in his 54 years than most, and assuredly more than even some who still draw breath will ever achieve.Vinnie was a credit to his craft and a helluva musician. Vinnie's accomplishments will echo in eternity. I am saddened by his passing yet I take solace in the fact that he is with his brother now in the afterlife. Ruling there just as they both did here on earth. \m/
Vinnie is such a cool and friendly dude. I know partying with him back in the day would have been badass. Him and his brother made music that the whole world loves and their memory is sealed in everyone’s hearts and minds forever
I like how polite Vinnie Paul is about not wanting to talk about performing with Philip Anselmo. He's probably sick of hearing about it, but he's nice enough to not be a prick about it either.
RIP Vinnie Paul..We miss you!!R.I.P. Dime Always be in our heart..6-24-18..Much Respect & Love from New Orleans Louisiana..☆ Opal..Very Much Missed by many..Love yall..Much Respect & Love from New Orleans Louisiana..☆ Opal
When we toured with pantera and type negative it was a blast those 26 shows where the best. Sadly I had to quit drumming due to injury but I am so glad I got to meet this man. I am going to start uploading more old videos of us
Superman23 that was what people loved about Vinnie and Dime. They Really were Humble and Cool guys. They treated people like they were their equals. They remembered where they came from and what it took to get there. I’ve never heard even one story where either of them treated a fan or up and coming musicians like they were ‘above’ them. The music world lost 2 of the best guys ever when we lost the Abbott brothers.💕
I caught one of vinnies sticks at mayhem fest, we were front row for hellyea, we literally made eye contact and he threw it to me personally. Still have it to this day.
Nigel Fortune it is man but he doesn't need to be a douche and blame dimes death on Phil. I feel like dimebag would have wanted them to come together and fix things after the tragedy and all vinnie is doing is making Phil feel like shit for what happened and that's not right.
Nigel Fortune I completely agree with Anselmo being an asshole，but he is not to blame from Dimebags death! Its security that should get all the hate for allowing a person up on stage
Never met the guy (seems like everyone else did though, according to UA-cam comments), but from his interviews, he seemed like an incredibly nice man who I imagine was loved by everyone he came in contact with. And what a ripping, tight, brilliant drummer. Same goes for his brother. Van Halen!
I absolutely loved this man. As a former drummer myself, this man, TO ME, was the only drummer I could pick out from his sound. He had such a uniques sound and style, and having to watch some a-hole murder his brother and other folks was horrifying. God bless you Vinnie! R.I.P.
Phil wanted Dime to be "beaten severely". He only changed his mind when Dime was murdered. Phil had bad intentions right to the end, if Dime was still alive they'd still be fighting (nothing against Phil, he's awesome)
And Phil openly admitted he F'd up when saying that and tried to make amends with Vinne, but Vinne simply won't let it go. Frankly this is more of Vinnes problem than Phils, sure what Phil said was wrong, but he owned up to it, Vinnes stubborn refusal to let this go, frankly, is childish. He needs to move on and let this go.
Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies. Vinnie needs to bury the hatchet. There's really no reason to tarnish the legacy of Dime and Pantera, by Vinnie and Phil fighting over shit. And it's not even Phil fighting, through all this BS, he still loves Vinnie. Pantera was more than just a band. It was a Brotherhood of 4 guys making shit happen.
RIP, Remember them bouncing around Tx in the 80s, like a poison, kiss, scrops type band with the hair & spandex then they got Phil. What can you say, home boys made it big & then shite happens. I guess they won't be chasing my next girlfriend anymore. See you soon Vinnie. :(
There is a shocking similarity between John Petrucci and Vinnie Paul recently. Both of them are incredible gentlemen as well. R.I.P Mr. Paul, tell Dime that we said hello.
His brother, his soul mate, his best friend and his partner in crime 🤘. Can't imagine how hard it must be to learn to live with that, I suspect that with the help of the ol' bottle, he never really did :(
“Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” Vinnie likely would lived longer if he hadn’t harbored so much hatred in his heart for Phil. And it’s sad that he never forgive him, not for Phil’s sake but for himself.
If anything of that sort killed Vinnie it was the years with his brother he lost. And it isn't as if Dime died in his sleep or of some OD, he was murdered 3 feet away from him. Lot of survivor's guilt, lot of trauma. If I were Vin I'd have done the same. Anyone can theorize what they want, but only Vin has the perspective on it he does. Many people lost friends and family that night, but Vin had to watch.
@@jetcheneau5811 Vinnie wasn’t the only person to have a sibling murdered so that’s not a good excuse to blame it on Phil who had nothing to do with Dimebag’s murder.
I was super excited for this video when it popped up in my feed. He is one of my favorite drummers. Then I looked in the comment section... I Don’t know how I missed he was gone but I have been under a rock for a while. A buddy of mine and I both wanted to go to the show where Dime was killed but I had to work so we both decided not to get tickets. A few years later I ended up living 100 yards from the venue. There’s a big bolder by the parking lot entrance that says RIP DIME in spray paint. When it fades, someone stops by and repaints it.
I think it would be awesome if Vinnie had Phil do one of Dimes last Damageplan tracks. Phils voice fits Dimes playing better than almost anyone else's and it would be awesome to hear a song that gets super close to Pantera.
I know but I would just love to hear one more, and of course like I said, Phils voice and Dimes playing works the best because they were together for a very long time.
When I was 15 my brother got me backstage passes to a Pantera show. Dime and Vinnie come back after the show toting a case of beer. They were so fucking cool to everybody. Vinnie looks at me and says "you're old enough, right?" with a big smile and tosses me a Budweiser. I felt like the coolest kid on the entire planet for that one brief moment.

Boy... they sure did drink shitty beer.
What a bad ass story bro. You're very lucky to have lived that moment man.
That's amazing haha what a guy. Would have been the best beer ever.

Ya that was harsh to hear!
It made my heart ache
Wow. Where did time go? He talks about Chris Cornell singing on their record, he’s got a Van Halen necklace on, and now Eddie and Chris are both gone as well as Vinnie. Damn. Time. Don’t take it for granted.
Noticed Chris. Saw the necklace but forgot about Eddie. Fuck.
Man it’s just not fair
Man... They never released those five tracks :(
Rip Dime and Paul.
Chris cornell was also an awesome singer and songwriter. What a loss.
Never take a second for granted. The best leaves us before we are ready. R.I.P. To all Rock legends. If there's an afterlife for us all then we have a helluva show waiting for us ..
Same thing in my mind brother…vin and dime were just such good ol boys just always about fun….
RIP Abbott brothers
Never Forgotten.
Vinnie and Dime’s dad passed a couple days back.
Rip. Absolutely in shock rn
He’s a legend and will live in our hearts. By now he’s jamming with dimebag in a better place
😥😭

anyone else find it strange that when he first mentions dime the camera goes out of focus? 0:59
His ghost
Jason Scaparo call the Scooby gang
I've seen stranger things to be honest.
Andy so have I, it’s a good show
No?
I like how polite Vinnie Paul is about not wanting to talk about performing with Philip Anselmo. He's probably sick of hearing about it, but he's nice enough to not be a prick about it either.
Orrrrrrr he could just bury the hatchet like a man and stop being asked about it????
@@oneox958 too late now :'(
@@willarterberry3392 and I bet holding onto that anger and hatred all these years played a part in his untimely death.
RIP Vinnie Paul..We miss you!!R.I.P. Dime Always be in our heart..6-24-18..Much Respect & Love from New Orleans Louisiana..☆ Opal..Very Much Missed by many..Love yall..Much Respect & Love from New Orleans Louisiana..☆ Opal
Was scrolling through saw this and it bummed me out until I watched it and it was nice to hear him chat. RIP dude. X
Vinnie 😪 Dime 😪 it's just never going to be the same without y'all. Heavy. Just feeling heavy spirited after watching this. God Bless you bro's.
When we toured with pantera and type negative it was a blast those 26 shows where the best. Sadly I had to quit drumming due to injury but I am so glad I got to meet this man. I am going to start uploading more old videos of us
I love that Vinnie acknowledges Rebel Meets Rebel, such an underrated side project.
Aw, damn, that cook book would have been the perfect christmas present for my boyfriend.
Line M B I can be your boyfriend baby.
Man you can see the mood drop right off his face when he brought up damageplan. That's just heart wrenching
Love hearing Vinnnie talk , you could always get a sense that he was a good human being and completely genuine
So, should Donny Sour should get "I named the band pantera" on his head stone?
Fuckin A Rite!!!!
RIP. 😭😭😭😭
Vinnie Paul looks like one really humble, and cool dude in this video. R.I.P Vinnie Paul 🤘🤘
Superman23 that was what people loved about Vinnie and Dime. They Really were Humble and Cool guys.
They treated people like they were their equals. They remembered where they came from and what it took to get there. I’ve never heard even one story where either of them treated a fan or up and coming musicians like they were ‘above’ them. The music world lost 2 of the best guys ever when we lost the Abbott brothers.💕
@@Pez2176 yep 👍 R.I.P Dime and Vinnie may they Rock In Paradise and may they never be forgotten 🤘🤘
Wonder, now that both are gone, if we'll ever hear those 5 tracks...
I caught one of vinnies sticks at mayhem fest, we were front row for hellyea, we literally made eye contact and he threw it to me personally. Still have it to this day.
Wow what a cool guy! So tragic what happened to his brother..
Nigel Fortune it is man but he doesn't need to be a douche and blame dimes death on Phil. I feel like dimebag would have wanted them to come together and fix things after the tragedy and all vinnie is doing is making Phil feel like shit for what happened and that's not right.
Nigel Fortune I completely agree with Anselmo being an asshole，but he is not to blame from Dimebags death! Its security that should get all the hate for allowing a person up on stage
McCarthy Reptiles what you "feel" has nothing to do with it
P Jn the guy showed up and started shooting four people died and multiple others were shot
Nigel Fortune and now he is gone😢
"It will before the end of time" well....
😢
Deity
I'm crying while watching right now. R.I.P my inspiration!😭😭😭
Same.
Vinnie and Dime together with Lemmy in Valhalla rocking up above R.I.P man
Rest in peace vinnie , your and dimes band pantera helped me through alot of times , so thank you brother
Man.. Chris Cornell will never sing on those unreleased Damageplan recordings.. RIP
Is that an Axl Rose candle in the background?
thekenmatax Jesus him self AKA BIG KITTY
Vinnie went through the cemetery gates way to soon. R.I.P. Big Vin! Blacktooth forever. Be with dime brother.
thekenmatax Phil and Axl disliked eachother quite a bit. Maybe after Vinnie and Phil fell out Vinnie became an Axl fan.....
Beaky Turf that's in the loudwire studio
Rest In Peace Vinnie.
sorry for your loss. have a blessed new year in 2023.
Never met the guy (seems like everyone else did though, according to UA-cam comments), but from his interviews, he seemed like an incredibly nice man who I imagine was loved by everyone he came in contact with. And what a ripping, tight, brilliant drummer. Same goes for his brother. Van Halen!
I absolutely loved this man. As a former drummer myself, this man, TO ME, was the only drummer I could pick out from his sound. He had such a uniques sound and style, and having to watch some a-hole murder his brother and other folks was horrifying. God bless you Vinnie! R.I.P.
His unwillingness to forgive Phil is only hurting himself.
tMattLZ he has a damn good reason not to man
I agree with you
Phil wanted Dime to be "beaten severely". He only changed his mind when Dime was murdered. Phil had bad intentions right to the end, if Dime was still alive they'd still be fighting (nothing against Phil, he's awesome)
And Phil openly admitted he F'd up when saying that and tried to make amends with Vinne, but Vinne simply won't let it go. Frankly this is more of Vinnes problem than Phils, sure what Phil said was wrong, but he owned up to it, Vinnes stubborn refusal to let this go, frankly, is childish. He needs to move on and let this go.
Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies.
Vinnie needs to bury the hatchet. There's really no reason to tarnish the legacy of Dime and Pantera, by Vinnie and Phil fighting over shit. And it's not even Phil fighting, through all this BS, he still loves Vinnie.
Pantera was more than just a band. It was a Brotherhood of 4 guys making shit happen.
Sad fact:
*The only one who never had a fact or fiction vid on the band is Dimebag*
A super sad fact..
Hard to believe that he's gone...
The Loudwire guy always does a really good job interviewing people
RIP, Remember them bouncing around Tx in the 80s, like a poison, kiss, scrops type band with the hair & spandex then they got Phil. What can you say, home boys made it big & then shite happens. I guess they won't be chasing my next girlfriend anymore. See you soon Vinnie. :(
There is a shocking similarity between John Petrucci and Vinnie Paul recently. Both of them are incredible gentlemen as well. R.I.P Mr. Paul, tell Dime that we said hello.
I wish I could've met Dime or even gone to a Pantera concert man, these guys are so cool🤘🏻
Rest in peace man. Been rockin to your music my whole life.
Vinnie was such a lovely guy. I really want the cookbook! RIP man.
I felt real bad for Vinnie having to watch his brother die in front of him
His brother, his soul mate, his best friend and his partner in crime 🤘. Can't imagine how hard it must be to learn to live with that, I suspect that with the help of the ol' bottle, he never really did :(
Such sweet guys Vinny and Dime were.. Good thing we got their music to remember them by
“Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.”
Vinnie likely would lived longer if he hadn’t harbored so much hatred in his heart for Phil. And it’s sad that he never forgive him, not for Phil’s sake but for himself.
If anything of that sort killed Vinnie it was the years with his brother he lost. And it isn't as if Dime died in his sleep or of some OD, he was murdered 3 feet away from him. Lot of survivor's guilt, lot of trauma.
If I were Vin I'd have done the same. Anyone can theorize what they want, but only Vin has the perspective on it he does. Many people lost friends and family that night, but Vin had to watch.
@@jetcheneau5811 Vinnie wasn’t the only person to have a sibling murdered so that’s not a good excuse to blame it on Phil who had nothing to do with Dimebag’s murder.
You sure it wasn't all the alcohol and unhealthy food?
My God I miss these guys, got me into metal in the late 80's.
R.I.P to both and thank you for everything they brought to my life through their music.
I was super excited for this video when it popped up in my feed. He is one of my favorite drummers. Then I looked in the comment section... I Don’t know how I missed he was gone but I have been under a rock for a while. A buddy of mine and I both wanted to go to the show where Dime was killed but I had to work so we both decided not to get tickets. A few years later I ended up living 100 yards from the venue. There’s a big bolder by the parking lot entrance that says RIP DIME in spray paint. When it fades, someone stops by and repaints it.
I think it would be awesome if Vinnie had Phil do one of Dimes last Damageplan tracks. Phils voice fits Dimes playing better than almost anyone else's and it would be awesome to hear a song that gets super close to Pantera.
I know but I would just love to hear one more, and of course like I said, Phils voice and Dimes playing works the best because they were together for a very long time.
Yeah, we have to keep dreaming on that one.
Should be left in the past.
@@gavingriffitt3478 it wouldn't be Damageplan,It just be Pantera and just throw Rex on bass
