He came to Rock..... And Rocked like no other With a heart twice the size of Texas our beloved brother, companion, mentor idol and friend.... We love you Dime.... Until we meet again Dimebag Darrell, one of the true guitar gods of heavy metal! RIP DIME!!
Still to this day the most amazing,untouchable and unreplicable guitarist ever! Thank you Dimebag for all the amazing music you created through your hands and heavy metal battle axe you were truly the king of heavy metal guitar R.I.P. Forever Stronger than All!
This era is untouchable. Power Metal was heavier than their glam shit, but still had the spirit of classic metal. Dime's solos and phil's pipes during this era were unmatched. Shame they won't reissue it.
His pull off and hammer on speed was just insane, it's like he had some sort of extra muscle connection in his hands that almost no one else has. I could get the riffs up to speed no problem but never the pull off/hammer on stuff no matter how much I practiced or jammed with my friends.
Definitely a guitar prodigy and the 80s where the competition was fearce. Todays guitar player are more technical but they lack something I can’t put my finger on. May be the soul. God bless Rock and Roll
@@puffybuns2311 They lack the other influences Dime had. The Blues-country-and just having a massive heart for music. It's just all sweeps and 9 string bullshit now.
@@Jimboishere11 yup it gets boring way too fast. Its not music, its how many notes I can play. Its not like people like yngwie and Tony macalpine were not doing that type of thing. But today i feel its gotten way too watered down with no emphasis on actual music behind those notes. Tony and yngwie are awesome fyi.
@@puffybuns2311 I totally agree. I'm a HUGE Malmsteen fan. I own both a Dime guitar and saved forever to purchase an Yngwie strat. Plays so nice 😄 These guys just have something, that others try to replicate. Perhaps that's the problem now...no one's original. 👍🏻
I was probably there. That was a club called "The Basement" in Dallas. How do I know? "The" is vertical & it sits next to the word "Basement", although, the word "basement" is covered by the Pantera banner. That's back before Phil started putting his purpose built bass in his voice 😏 throughout the years, during some of his interviews, he accidentally forgets and you'll get to hear his natural voice every now and then, like this video.
dam dude your a lucky dude watching dimebag play every nite must of been sick. disciple jammed too. did you ever get any pointers from him. you still live in fort worth? awesome shit man. aint nothin better than waking up on a saterday and watching some old skool touring days with disciple and pantera. far out.
The history the guys made all the gigs all the that time spent they spent with eachother you kniw they are brothers theres two sides to everystory and theres the truth Long live the lives and good times of pantera
What i always loved hearing his playing is you can pick out influences he clearly had. A little EVH a little Randy Rhodes a touch of George Lynch some Stevie Ray Vaughn in there. But despite being able to hear that there is a clear distinct voice in his playing that is exclusively his and no one elses. Dimebag sounds like Dimebag and his style tone and expression on the guitar are unmistakably him.
I'm a lead guitar expert and I can honestly say Dimebag gave me the most trouble on the guitar. His sound is hard to match and his fret stretching is the best out there. Dimebag is intense.
@@ryand4533Jeff loomis and Dime are the two most untouchable man. Two different styles. Both the top tier of their styles. Nevermore would he my favorite band if it wasn’t for pantera
0:23 he raised his head up, before starting to shred, as if he left this dimension for another, the best guitar player of all times, rest in peace my brother, thank you for all the energies you gave me through your magic notes, hail from algeria (sorry for my bad english, I use goole translation)
Shane Plante tabbing it out its 18 on the high e, 18 on the B, 17 then pull off to the 15th fret on the G. To end the sequence just land on the 17th fret on the D string. Up picking the top 3 notes and down pick the very last note. Getcha Pull 🤘
He had another pattern too that he moved around, for example, 12th fret on high E, 15th fret to 12th pull off on the B, 15th fret to 14th fret to 12th fret pull off on the G. Picked in that same 'rake' fashion, I forgot which songs they show up in but he used it, or a variation of it, in a number of songs. Pretty sure the end of Shattered has it though.
Godamn the world is a shitty fuckin place without dime and vinnie living in it but they are together again we fuckin miss DBD & VP we love and miss you thank you for all the great fuckin metal music you gave us youre forever loved brothers rest in paradise
you can see it, he was the shit before he was the shit! a very young DIME is fucking tearing it, you can tell why he won every guitar contest,he just had it,God given talent and ability! He was a magnetic personality, he was born to play guitar!
Dude, I saw them in Cincinnati Ohio in like, 89, 90? I thought the name rang a bell but was clueless. Blew my mind. I was with 2 buddies and my gf at the time. We were speechless. Phil was actually yelling something at us at one point, but I couldn't make out what he was saying. I think he was yelling that we needed to get into it, start moving..lol. but I was mesmerized .Darrel probably thought I was some creepy ass how I just stood there. Your post reminded me of it. How I didn't realize who I was seeing or how big they were, because we weren't in a big place, but a small club. I don't even know for sure if C.F.H. was out by that time.
@@masterofsparkshwy6974 I'd been to maybe half a dozen Pantera shows, I know exactly what you mean. Dime - or Diamond as we knew him at the time - would have us just standing there mouth open. Phil, though, he was the real reason you'd see Pantera again and again. Like you said, he would talk to the crowd. It was like being at home with a good friend telling a story. You know who else left me agape - Lean Rhymes was like 12 or 13 when I saw her at some Chili festival. The whole place was just standing there mouth wide open, this was the most amazing voice most people there had ever heard. People who'd seen Janis or Grace or even Plant or Morrison just could not believe this voice. Her garbage recordings completely missed the whole point of her performance, not to mention that I cannot stand the genre. Slash, too, left me memorized once. Amazing what he would do to the guitar - I'd say he was a better musician than Dime, really. But Dime was doing more than "being a musician", he wasn't so much playing the guitar as he was becoming part of the guitar and pulling you in with him. And with Phil already making you feel at home, the whole experience was surreal. UA-cam videos just don't capture all that.
@@dotancohen yeah, they don't, still they're saving a lot of music I thought would get lost, showing to young people, I enjoy knowing young people really like what I did. I don't feel as old and silly. Lol
Darrell never gets old. Beats alot of shredders today by leaps and bounds. I know that's some pretty deep shade, but Darrell had that soul, I dont feel that with alot of today's music. But hey, thats me.
Thanks for posting! This clip really takes me back. I remember Phil's first gig after taking over from Terry. Countless nights watching the boys at Savvy's, Matley's Phase, II, Dallas City Limits, The Basement, Joe's Garage, Rascals ("Thrashcals"), The Ranch in Munster, etc. Darrell always made sure to comp us Coors Light pitchers, which would spill over as he stood atop our table soloing. RIP to a true great.
I saw pantera live 5 or 6 times since 1990. Best bassist (no offense to the late great Cliff Burton) Best Drummer and obviously BEST FUCKING GUITARIST of my generation. Seeing them live was so GOD DAMN ELECTRIC. I am truly 100% jealous that you toured and partied with these Gods and legends. I'm not trying to take anything away from Disciple. you mother fuckers are super badass in your own right. I'm pretty damn sure you were at atleast a few of the shows i was at. i was too stoned then and am too old now (and stoned) to remember correctly
Feel this . Saw Pantera in 1999 , near the end and i didnt make the most of it .... wish i saw them in the early days. Just dont get this in todays music.
@@G.u74 I have to agree. They made some great music and he might have been the most down to earth guy you'll ever meet, but he wasn't in the same league as players like Vai, Satriani, Petrucci, Loomis or many others. Same can be said about Vinnie, Rex and Phil. That doesn't mean they didn't make some of the best metal of all times. They made some phenomenal tunes. They just aren't as technically skilled or accomplished as many, many others.
That was a great solo by Darrell. I have no doubt in my mind Dime would have done a G3 tour and would have burned that stage up on Steve and Joe. We'll Meet Again, The Sleep, Cemetery Gates solos back to back are extremely melodic with bunch of soul. A little bit of Minor mixed up with Major and the blues scales. Darrell was at his best with that Spot Light right on him.
OctopusVolcano keep practicing , you'll get your own shred signature. Instead of keeping that guitar scratch free in the case, take it with you wherever you can. At the dinner table or outside barbequing.
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD WHAT A SUPERB GUITARIST THIS CAT WAS WITHOUT A SHRED OF A DOUBT THE BEST ALL AROUND METAL GUITARIST OF ALL FUCKING TIME.. I GOTTA GET ME A PULL OF HIS WORK ATLEAST ONCE A DAY SO I SUGGEST YOU ALL GETCHA MOTHAFUCKIN PULL TOO!!! \..../\m/\..../\m/\..../\m/\..../\m/

Reminds me of the Spinal Tap solo-just needs a violin bow and to play with his feet.
Maravilloso
Phil still called him "Diamond Darrell"
Faith no more lyric in start of vid?
Russ Bouquet which is funny cause he sure hated Mike Patton when asked about him in a 1992 interview.
@@MrHandfromEbay Why did Phil hate Mike Patton?
Its epic video
would kill to hear early Anselmo sing the rest of The Real Thing

golden fingers
Be thankful that he existed and walked on this earth...
Ok so now i know why the back of his guitar has to this day a thumb spot.
FUCKING KING!!
Back when Phil would let Dime solo.
Can't imagine dimebag got into glam lmao 🤣
And Phil said he hated Mike Patton and Faith no More later in a 1992 interview.
Dimebag is god
"Darrell killed that solo! Just wait fourteen years or so. I'll have a killer solo of my own." - Nathan Gale probably.
Too soon?
