I lost my husband in 2000. He was a big Pantera fan, as I. This song played at his funeral. Young and old alike had the chills. Miss the brothers Abbott. May they jam in heaven! And my husband is headbanging.
I'm sorry for your loss, Cindy, and can relate (we've all lost someone). I lost my best friend in 2006 to liver cancer, he was only 32. I introduced him to metal, and bands like Pantera, Maiden, Metallica, and so on. This was one of his favourites. I listen to it both for my own enjoyment, and in his honor. Music is healing, metal in particular.
"high pitch and crunchy" lol. Dimebag was one of the only metal guitarists using solid state amps and he used a ton of gain. the string noise you have to deal with using his tone is insane. to play such technically demanding songs cleanly with Dimebag's setup and tone is an almost impossible challenge. One of the greatest metal guitarists of all time.
A policeman did shoot Dimebag's killer. Sadly, after the damage was done. My friend from childhood was security and he ran at the stage. All 6'7 of him tackled the shooter and paid with his life as well. We grew up to Pantera's music being from the same town and just a few years younger. They will all be missed. Vinnie and Daryl and all those who die b4 their time.
Aaron Johnson floods I think is my favourite song from pantera.such an emotional song from such a heavy band.for sure the solo is one of the best ever in rock and metal and that outro chokes me up every time.been listening to pantera alot since Vinnie's passing and the great southern trendkill is an album full of emotion even the heavy songs like the underground in America and sandblasted skin.
Man! You ain't lying. My buddy gave me The Great Southern Trendkill album in high school and then passed playing football after he tranferred to another school. The rain effect with it. Man i could go on but 1000 thumbs up. Lol
Best band to ever play if you ask me wish dime was around today so we could hear more like this shit sucks man i want to hang with phil before it's to late lmao. R.I.P Darrell Abbott & Vincent Abbott
This song is so full of suffering, pain, anger, redemption... The way Phil sings and the band follow him is unbelievably perfect. This song is awesome!
I can't even begin to imagine how Jerry Abbott, Vinnies and Darrells father, must feel like these days. To parent two brothers, love them and nurse them and then see them become two of the greatest musicians of our time, then live to see both of them die. If you are reading this Jerry, know that your sons did not die in vain. They've left a permanent mark on this world and millions of people became richer in life because of them.
Absolutely Dennis. Pantera was a soundtrack to my middle and high school years. As it was for millions of others. I seen Pantera twice,the Vulgar tour and the Far Beyond Driven Tour. Amazing shows and I miss them.
I never listened to Pantera when they came out, nothing of theirs really grabbed me. However in 1995 my brother-in-law gave me a ticket to their concert to a be a DD for him and my sister. I remember we had horrible seats and as the night went on we slowly upgraded ourselves. When Pantera finally got on stage we were six rows back. The amphitheater had these cheap plastic theater seats and instead of clapping after songs we would beat on the empty seats in front of us. It sounded like low rolling thunder. Phillip said, "Fuck that was awesome. I've never heard that before. Do it again." So we did except this time it spread to the entire audience but no one was going harder than me and my brother in law. We broke 7 seats off the bolts in the concrete floor. Looked around and quickly upgraded ourselves again. That concert is my fondest memory of my Brother in law. He was murdered a few years after that. Still in his 20's. So thank you for this, for reminding me of him and now it feels like a tribute to him as well.
Shaun Crawford that sounds cool. I got to see them for the reinventing the steel tour in Bakersfield. Phil made the whole floor mosh. "Everyone wants to hear this next song. I wana see everyone going nuts from laft to right, front to back. And of I see anyone standing around we'll stop playing it and play something else." The place went nuts. I ran through the whole floor and everyone was moshing. It was beautiful. Your story is touching. Family. Good stuff.
HalfLifeSistah - I am glad you like it is one of my favorite pantera song you touch me with that comment that is nice now i wanna cry just kidding please listen this love from pantera big kiss to you too
Beautiful tribute guys, really. I remember the day Dime was shot. I was just getting into metal via a good friend of mine at school who played the guitar religiously. When it came to lunch time that day, I sat down and told him what I'd heard on the news and his face just went blank, like "...what?". Years and years later I've watched interviews and live recorded concerts and the man wasn't just a great guitarist, he was a great human being. There's one story told in a documentary about Pantera, talking about after one of their shows a kid came up to him and said he wanted to learn to play guitar, but he had to wait until Christmas so his parents could get him a guitar. Dime had the kid take him to his parents and he gave them money to get him a guitar and told them "Don't wait, get him playing right now."
Pantera is definitely top 5 metal bands of all time - RIP Dime and Vin... :( A lot of people don't realize how amazing of a write Phil is as a lyricist... He's amazing.
Absolutely. One of my favorite bands ever. I was in 8th grade when Cowboys from Hell came out and a sophomore in high school when Vulgar Display of Power dropped which that album blew me away. Cowboys was a wicked dope album but Vulgar was mind blowing to me. Phil’s voice is absolutely amazing and the combination of the Abbot brothers made Pantera so great.
A lot of people forget that not only did Dime do things that melted people's faces, but Vinnie cut a path for metal drummers everywhere. If you didn't feel Vincent Paul Abbott when you played a Pantera record, you were doing it wrong. That dude could stinking lay a groove down. What a pair. What a tragedy. Great tribute; great reaction vid guys.
I met Dime & Vinnie in the streets of Monterrey, Mexico by coincidence on July 18, 1997. I was a HUGE fan already, but I was there to take my then GF, now wife to a Mexican Artist Juan Gabriel show that night at La Fundidora in Monterrey not knowing Pantera would play there the very next night. Before my GF picked me up at my hotel, I decided to have some lunch & walked to a nearby kinda outdoor restaurant. As I was eating, I noticed a guy with with a bandana, with a beard & with an acoustic guitar over his shoulder & in my mind, I just thought, that guy resembles Vinnie Paul, so out of the blue & not even having a clue, I yelled, "Vinnie Paul fucking rules" & he turns around & looks inside because windows where open, no AC, & says "Hellyeah!!". At that moment I realized it was really him & Dimebag & others walking to their hotel, I had NO idea they were staying across the street from my hotel. So I was shocked to see it was really them, holy frijoles, I jumped out of my seat, paid quicky & left to follow them to their hotel. Dime & Vinnie spoke to me for about 10 minutes, they were 2 fucking down to earth guys, never did he(Dime) ignored me in our conversation. I told them i'd seen them a month & half earlier & how good they kicked my ass in San Antonio, Texas at Ozzfest '97 on May 31, 1997. At the end of our conversation, Dime said to me, "well go to your show & come on back at night, we'll be at the bar fucking drinking", so I go to the Juan Gabriel show with the then GF, come back later to my hotel, change, cross the street to the hotels bar & there they all are at the bar, all Pantera guys & Anthrax too plus roadies, again, I spoke to Dime & some of the guys in Anthrax. That was a real bad ass experience I had of meeting Dime & Vinnie, an experience I will never forget. GOD bless & rest their souls. LONG LIVE DIME & VINNIE!! WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!
I saw Dimebag in concert with Damageplan exactly one week before he was killed. As I was just coming into metal at the time, and wasn't too familiar with any of the major players yet, I had no idea who this genius was that making his guitar scream like that. All of my friends I went to the concert with were wincing with their hands over their ears. As for myself, I was standing there in sheer awe. It was a privilege that I was able to have such an opportunity.
Jesusmetalhead wow you’re so lucky, i bought that damageplan album awaiting them touring.💔Can’t believe it was 2004! Got into metal bc of my hs sweetheart opening the door with pantera...graduated in 2003 going to shows every weekend🤘🏼damn time flies.
Had my own share of tears watching this video. It is hard to find a woman who understand metal like we men do. To feel the power and also reach the inner beauty hidden within the noise and the distortion armor. Great reaction!
Jerry Cantrell is the only one in metal/hard rock id put above him in that aspect. Dime himself even spoke about Jerry’s ability to get crazy emotion out of his guitar and said that means a lot more than shredding a bunch of notes. Both legends and super good friends. RIP Dime, some of the best riffs and solos ever came from him.
8:58 There was a lone officer in the area when the call went out for the cops to show up. The lone officer ran in with his shotgun drawn, was guided towards the stage and engaged the shooter. He shot and killed the shooter on sight with one shot to the head.
@@adoyeti3007 Not really as I'd have pissed all over the gutless bastard . They say he was a Marine ? Bullshit Marine's are real men , real heroes not cowardly pieces of Shit that kill an innocent man performing to people who loved him and innocent bystanders who wanted to watch a guitar god master his instrument I feel bad for his mum it was still her son but he got what he deserved .
This is one of those legendary songs beyond just being iconic. Master of Puppets, Holy Wars... The Punishment Due, November Rain, Comfortably Numb, Stairway to Heaven... Some unheard of at the time and others with immortal solos that had every guitarist going back to practice to learn them. Masterpieces. Rest In peace Vinnie. Now you're rocking out with your brother again.
It doesn't matter how many times I've heard it over the years, the guitar work on this track still gives me goose bumps, and ever since Dime was taken from us it's hard not to tear up hearing it as well. RIP Darrell brothers, I hope somewhere they are reunited and jamming some more ideas.
definitely agree.. still sounds like no other.. I feel like Lamb of God tries hard to mimick Pantera's Southern infused Metal sound but fail miserably..
Dime's unique guitar sound, combining chugging lows and shrieking highs. Rex's great basslines combined with his licks are a perfect support. Vinnie's drum sound was huge and prominent. Phil's vocals work perfectly with Dime's guitar. ominous lows combined with shrieking high notes.
Dimebags guitar tone could slice through fuckin steel! And Vinnie's drums could drop the walls of fuckin' Jericho... specifically Chris Jericho from the WWE.
Pantera’s song I’m Broken, was written by Phil in response to his back pain. Like you I have chronic back pain, and I’m Broken is my favorite song by Pantera. The shooter had taken one of Pantera’s crew hostage by putting a gun to the crewman’s head, after being shot three times. An officer arrived with a shotgun and noticed the gunman cocking the hammer and the officer shot him. The crewman was saved. VH1 did an episode of Behind the Music with video of the shooting of Dime and four others. As a fan it’s hard to watch.
Omg, that is so sad! Because of his back pain?? :(((( The story of his death breaks my heart! I can't believe that happened!! I am new to Pantera, but I love them, already and my heart aches for them; just as my heart aches for Cliff Burton, from Metallica :'( Thanks for your comment, love :* (((hugs))) ♥
What must be added to the Dimebag story is just what a down to earth guy he was.YES Pantera became the band in Heavy metal and Dime remained the same guy he always was. He never had a problem talking with fans maintained friendships he had before his success and was just the coolest muthafucker his murder was a tragedy
A true metal fan, you can tell he knows when a killer part is about to start and he gets a look on his face like "you're about to have your mind blown and don't even know it."
I love how the guy is smiling and laughing at Dimebag's guitar playing, celebrating his musical brilliance. Dimebag would be smiling up from the heavens if he saw this.
Ive said this on other reaction channles and ill say it here too... ita so great to see people appreciating music and keeping the greats alive and expanding minds. Music is a universal language.
Wayne Static (Static-X) was only 48 and it was a drug overdose! His wife died a few years later from a drug overdose because she didn't want to live without him. It was a great loss. They had many great songs.
You are a very lovely person and can truly appreciate musical beauty which is how i describe how dimebag Darryl and Phil Anselmo express themselves on Cemetary Gates. Only a person with a beautiful soul can understand and appreciate that.
My only real friend passed away from a ruptured aorta last September 17th... it happened when he was asleep... he was only 51, too. Healthy guy, worked out, was ex-Army, played high school sports, ate relatively healthy food. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you are in shape or an ex junkie. When your time comes, it's there. RIP Chris Roseman, RIP Dimebag and RIP Vinnie.
When Phil and Dime talk to each other at the end of this, I have always thought this was a tip of their hat to Led Zeppelin, the song You shook Me, when Jimmy and Robert talk to each other same way. Its definitely awesome to hear
Man this was an amazing reaction video all around. There's never a dry eye in the room when dimebag matches phils vocals on the guitar at the end of this song. I've heard this for so many years and it still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up! There really are no words to describe how this sounds, it just needs to be listened to.
I had the privilege to see Pantera perform live over a dozen times they were and still are my favorite band I was devastated the day Darryl was killed on stage and I am still devastated that Vinny is also gone may the Abbott Brothers Rest In Peace
Dimebag had a fantastic tone. Like no one else. He was amazingly creative and a humble person who could jam and drink with his fans and not let fame take its toll. The best ones always get taken too soon by the reaper man :/
Mannnnnnn PanterA makes me both full of energy and so sad. It's a weird feeling. I'll start tearing up at the ending but at the same time headbanging haha
What a beautiful react! Emotional and satisfying with the taking of the meaning from a horrible fact to a song launched years earlier, who could imagine Dime would cross the cemetery’s gates like that, but now they’re together, reunited in the afterlife, forever and never forgotten.
Pantera was a big part of my life, being born in 1997 i got intruduced to pantera at a young age and i always looked up to Dime, his guitaring style is indescribable, its something that moves you. R.i.p Dime & Vinnie 💕
Your reaction was so heartwarming, I would have outwardly cried if I wasn't at work so I just teared up... It is a great tribute to the brothers who were both taken before their time. They are in heaven playing together again now.
i have all 5 stupid albums from Cowboys to Reinventing the steel on its way. Dime was to ounger generation what Eddie was for us. Dime was a Guitar hero, no doubt , except he didnt let fame & money change him, he stayed true to what he did. He was Pure just like you see & hear him. it was a very sad loss .
97warlock ismyname In 1995 I was lucky enough to meet Vinnie and Dimebag. ....you couldn't have said it any better. They was about making excellent music for the fans and having fun
I still listen to Pantera almost on a daily basis. Seen them every time they played in Dallas area in the 90's. Greatest part of my life. Hollow or This Love. All pantera is a great tune. R.I.P Abbott brothers.
Hi, Sugah! Thank you so much! And yesss, lol my face... I told y'all on earlier reaction vids that I am super animated, lol. Love me anyway, uhkay? :D ♥
@@HalfLifeSistah that reaction was awesome to watch! It was clear to see that you were feeling the same feelings we all felt listening to that masterpiece for the first time, or even the 100th time honestly. I could tell you were really feeling the music. Beautiful
"I haven't heard a guitar speak" Girl you need to hear some Dave Gilmour. Can't say I'm the biggest Pink Floyd fan in the world but no one conveys more emotion in his guitar work.
By far my favorite reaction from you two! It was also the only UA-cam video that has ever brought me to tears, and for that I thank you. Wonderful video!
I want you guys to know that I knew Darryl and Vince and they were the most kind and loving dudes on this Earth. They would have given you the shirts off of their backs if you had needed it. They always had a smile and beer for you. They threw the best parties and were just beautiful people. Thank you so much for doing this for Vince. RIP brother... I know you and Dime are showing Heaven how to ROCK Pantera style!
Man, I love that song. I was in tears last week when I heard about Vinnie. Granted, I was out drinking for my birthday and had misinterpreted the news and thought he’d killed himself, but I was still totally bummed about it. RIP
Good brothers, Amazing music, it's sad how they went, but now we gotta look at this with new eyes, things change, we can't do anything about it but learn from it.... not just from it but from them too, especially Dime, from all the things i read about the guy he had a heart of gold, had a lot of energy, a large amount of passion, played guitar like some kind of monster, drank a bit and would set off fireworks in his own house... all in all, he sounds like someone that i would be down to just chill with. Also gotta say your reaction to this song was amazing, I've shown this specific song to a few friends and they never really have anything bad to say about it.. you honestly can't find a lot of people who can play guitar like THAT, i mean i try myself, but some of those tabs are insane, the guy plays a riff and I'm usually sitting there watching it and going "how did he do that, when all i saw was him twitch a finger...?" sometimes the words musician and magician seem like they where meant to sound the same... O.o wow i wrote a lot...
Oh another thing, you guys are doing react videos right? consider some Lamb Of God, If you like mellow stuff i'd steer you in the direction of the song Overlord, be warned though, that band is heavy and dark, though the bulk of what they write is pretty good, lots of good guitar solos in there songs, sometimes they might have 2 solos, depending on the song.. sorry for the long comments, my brain-keyboard filters aren't exactly tuned to be efficient with people.. D:
It was a pleasure getting to your sincere experience to such a beautiful moment in time. I was reliving my first moment, in my mind and imagining going through, it all over again. Thank you for that.
You guys are adorable,definitely earned my sub ^^ especially loved the fact that you guys honor and respect the icons of Metal :) \m/ RIP to our gods of metal \m/
if you liked this please look into, what i think is Dimes greatest solo and thats from the song called "the Sleep" so much feel in that solo I'm sure it'll pluck on your heart strings!
best reaction ever. so nice to see someone get it. they were so talented. this has always been one of my favorites but this reaction made me remember why I like it so much!
I like these sad songs, this and this love - even pearl jam's black that add the anger esentment with loss and sadness. A lot of songs ignore the anger part of grief.
From a 43 yr old headbanger, who still plays this and many other Pantera songs, I gotta say this song gets me every time. Great video, and great couple you guys make! Best wishes!
Also as a Pantera Fan, everyone says Cemetery Gates, to me Hollow is a more appropriate song for Dime and Vinnie, cause they where taken before their time, as a fan, I shake my fist, at the sky above, mad, at God. But that's me. Hollow is sadly one of those songs that only true fans remember and wasn't so mainstream and it was the villa Rosa nightclub in Columbus Ohio, he snuck through the crowd and security. Then shot him execution style to the head in front of his brother. First song 10:45 P.M. Dec. 8th 2004 till this day every Dec 8th I drink Crown Royal in remembrance and R.I.P Mayhem security guard. And the 4 fans that lost their lives that night. F.U. to the guy that done this. I know his name, I won't say his name, he took my idol away
Great song to tribute some extremely talented musicians taken from us way too soon. Honestly a great reaction from both of you and I was reacting right with you both - goosebumps and all. Thanks for posting this. Another great Darrell solo to listen to is the solo from Floods off The Great Southern Trendkill album. Record it if you’d like or just simply listen to it, either way you will be happy you did. MUST. REACT. to live is to die
@@99dedbuffoons17 No she wasn't Vinnie called her from there tour bus at the back of the venue to say Dimebag was dead read the facts and don't assume as assumption is the mother of all fuck ups .
@@soothingzounds73 As I pointed out to 99 ded buffoons Rita wasn't at the concert as Vinnie called her from there tour bus at the back of the venue to say Dimebag had been shot and had died as a result 🤘🎸People need to check facts instead of assuming like most people that didn't follow the band .
I used to have a guitar book way back in the day on the best players. Dimebags description on his sound was: Like a jackhammer ripping thru your skull.
I live in Fr.Worth and the first time I saw them was at a house party they were playing in 87.....Phil wasn't even singing for them then. I love these guys always have they are a part of my life. Growing up so close to these guys was amazing. Seen and interacted with Pantera for many years..!!! R.I.P to both the Abbott Family...💖💖
2 of the greatest artist EVER lived... heaven just got a wake up call.. and we will miss you Vinnie and we still miss you Dime. Your music will never die. RIP love you guys
I was personal friends with Dimebag and Vinnie for many years. I also founded a charity organization called "Ride For Dime" in 2005 which was an annual motorcycle ride and concert in remembrance of Dimebag. Each year the ride would pass in front of the cemetery gates where Dimebag is buried and we would toss flowers. I would hear Cemetery Gates in my head as we passed by. Unfortunately we lost Vinnie a few months ago. The brothers are once again side by side. The event ran it's course and the last ride was in 2015. I was honored to be the lead motorcycle in 11 rides. Do a UA-cam search for "Ride For Dime" to see videos from the ride as well as the concerts we held each year. Love your reaction videos.
That last note is like a scream that shatters you soul. RIP Vinnie
I lost my husband in 2000. He was a big Pantera fan, as I. This song played at his funeral. Young and old alike had the chills. Miss the brothers Abbott. May they jam in heaven! And my husband is headbanging.
Sorry to hear that Cindy RIP to all them
I'm sorry for your loss, Cindy, and can relate (we've all lost someone). I lost my best friend in 2006 to liver cancer, he was only 32.

Music is healing, metal in particular.
i feel like Hollow last line hits that feeling for Dimebag.
Phil Anselmo in his young days was an absolutely incredible vocalist for 51 years he still sounds solid even now
"high pitch and crunchy" lol. Dimebag was one of the only metal guitarists using solid state amps and he used a ton of gain. the string noise you have to deal with using his tone is insane. to play such technically demanding songs cleanly with Dimebag's setup and tone is an almost impossible challenge. One of the greatest metal guitarists of all time.
He used equalizers. That's what gives this amount of frequency without giving much GAIN. He uses high gain during live shows.
He also worked with DiMarzio to build the active pickups that he used in the guitars he designed.
He was inspired by EVH. He was a sound junky lol
A policeman did shoot Dimebag's killer. Sadly, after the damage was done. My friend from childhood was security and he ran at the stage. All 6'7 of him tackled the shooter and paid with his life as well. We grew up to Pantera's music being from the same town and just a few years younger. They will all be missed.

You've got to hear the solo and outro to Floods by Pantera.
Aaron Johnson we may have to save that for “make sistah cry” 😉 hahaha
gives me chills just thinking about it
Aaron Johnson floods I think is my favourite song from pantera.such an emotional song from such a heavy band.for sure the solo is one of the best ever in rock and metal and that outro chokes me up every time.been listening to pantera alot since Vinnie's passing and the great southern trendkill is an album full of emotion even the heavy songs like the underground in America and sandblasted skin.

Best solo ever. Period.
Every damn time I hear the GATES! And Dimebags guitar it gives me freaking chills every damn time. Holy cow I miss that mans playing.....
I know that feeling! It is amazing how music and instruments can move you, right?! ♥
Same here, hair stands up
I've been listening to this tune since it came out, and it STILL sends shivers up the back of my neck.
Khammett1962 ..SAME HERE!!..I FUCKEN MISS PANTERA!!!!..LOVE YOU DIME & VINNE!!!..YOU ARE THE GREATEST EVER!!!!!!!
I cry every time I hear this song.
"Pantera punches you in the face..." They even made a photo of that moment and put it on the cover of Vulgar Display of Power.
The battle at the end between Phil and Dime is soo awesome. I can't even put it into words hpw awesome it is.
not really a battle, phil just does call back of dime.
Yea i know, but i can imagine Phil saying to Dime ''Yo, let's see who can go higher!'' That's my imagination of that part :)
@@multiestonian lol true
Best band to ever play if you ask me wish dime was around today so we could hear more like this shit sucks man i want to hang with phil before it's to late lmao. R.I.P Darrell Abbott & Vincent Abbott
You did. You said that it was "awesome".
This song is so full of suffering, pain, anger, redemption... The way Phil sings and the band follow him is unbelievably perfect. This song is awesome!
She’s now ready to take on “This Love” and “5 Minutes Alone”
Let her experience "clash with reality"...that drum intro and the riff after will make her head explode....
Drag the Waters,. Is so Fucking hostile,...see what I did there
Yes!!!!
She's right... Could listen to it over and over, love her emotions...cool lady!
And for something completely different Suicide Note pt.1
I can't even begin to imagine how Jerry Abbott, Vinnies and Darrells father, must feel like these days. To parent two brothers, love them and nurse them and then see them become two of the greatest musicians of our time, then live to see both of them die. If you are reading this Jerry, know that your sons did not die in vain. They've left a permanent mark on this world and millions of people became richer in life because of them.
Not too mention his wife has also passed i do believe.

I never listened to Pantera when they came out, nothing of theirs really grabbed me. However in 1995 my brother-in-law gave me a ticket to their concert to a be a DD for him and my sister. I remember we had horrible seats and as the night went on we slowly upgraded ourselves. When Pantera finally got on stage we were six rows back. The amphitheater had these cheap plastic theater seats and instead of clapping after songs we would beat on the empty seats in front of us. It sounded like low rolling thunder. Phillip said, "Fuck that was awesome. I've never heard that before. Do it again." So we did except this time it spread to the entire audience but no one was going harder than me and my brother in law. We broke 7 seats off the bolts in the concrete floor. Looked around and quickly upgraded ourselves again. That concert is my fondest memory of my Brother in law. He was murdered a few years after that. Still in his 20's.

Sounds like my experience at the Riverport Ampitheater... I think it was 95.. by the time Pantera came on we went from Lawn to like 6th row
Awe, babyyy! Thank you for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed watching :* (((hugs))) ♥
I did, Sistah. Thank You. You two keep up the good work.
Shaun Crawford Damn, that made me tear up... Thank you for sharing that story.
Phil voice sounds like guitar and dim guitar sound like voice at the end of the song pure magic

Beautiful tribute guys, really. I remember the day Dime was shot. I was just getting into metal via a good friend of mine at school who played the guitar religiously. When it came to lunch time that day, I sat down and told him what I'd heard on the news and his face just went blank, like "...what?". Years and years later I've watched interviews and live recorded concerts and the man wasn't just a great guitarist, he was a great human being. There's one story told in a documentary about Pantera, talking about after one of their shows a kid came up to him and said he wanted to learn to play guitar, but he had to wait until Christmas so his parents could get him a guitar. Dime had the kid take him to his parents and he gave them money to get him a guitar and told them "Don't wait, get him playing right now."
Aawe! A sweet story! Thank you for sharing it with us all! :** (((hugs))) ♥
Pantera is definitely top 5 metal bands of all time - RIP Dime and Vin... :( A lot of people don't realize how amazing of a write Phil is as a lyricist... He's amazing.

Great tribute; great reaction vid guys.
Thank you, Sunshine! ♥
Exactly! You had to be able to feel his parts to actually play them. Once it clicked it was such a good feeling :)
In This River by Zakk Wylde. He always dedicates it to Dime & he is also, in my opinion, a guitar legend!
I met Dime & Vinnie in the streets of Monterrey, Mexico by coincidence on July 18, 1997. I was a HUGE fan already, but I was there to take my then GF, now wife to a Mexican Artist Juan Gabriel show that night at La Fundidora in Monterrey not knowing Pantera would play there the very next night. Before my GF picked me up at my hotel, I decided to have some lunch & walked to a nearby kinda outdoor restaurant. As I was eating, I noticed a guy with with a bandana, with a beard & with an acoustic guitar over his shoulder & in my mind, I just thought, that guy resembles Vinnie Paul, so out of the blue & not even having a clue, I yelled, "Vinnie Paul fucking rules" & he turns around & looks inside because windows where open, no AC, & says "Hellyeah!!". At that moment I realized it was really him & Dimebag & others walking to their hotel, I had NO idea they were staying across the street from my hotel. So I was shocked to see it was really them, holy frijoles, I jumped out of my seat, paid quicky & left to follow them to their hotel. Dime & Vinnie spoke to me for about 10 minutes, they were 2 fucking down to earth guys, never did he(Dime) ignored me in our conversation. I told them i'd seen them a month & half earlier & how good they kicked my ass in San Antonio, Texas at Ozzfest '97 on May 31, 1997. At the end of our conversation, Dime said to me, "well go to your show & come on back at night, we'll be at the bar fucking drinking", so I go to the Juan Gabriel show with the then GF, come back later to my hotel, change, cross the street to the hotels bar & there they all are at the bar, all Pantera guys & Anthrax too plus roadies, again, I spoke to Dime & some of the guys in Anthrax. That was a real bad ass experience I had of meeting Dime & Vinnie, an experience I will never forget. GOD bless & rest their souls. LONG LIVE DIME & VINNIE!! WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!
I saw Dimebag in concert with Damageplan exactly one week before he was killed. As I was just coming into metal at the time, and wasn't too familiar with any of the major players yet, I had no idea who this genius was that making his guitar scream like that. All of my friends I went to the concert with were wincing with their hands over their ears. As for myself, I was standing there in sheer awe. It was a privilege that I was able to have such an opportunity.
Jesusmetalhead wow you’re so lucky, i bought that damageplan album awaiting them touring.💔Can’t believe it was 2004! Got into metal bc of my hs sweetheart opening the door with pantera...graduated in 2003 going to shows every weekend🤘🏼damn time flies.
Dimebag talked through his guitar. The Abbott Brothers will be missed in the metal world, but are now rejoined in heaven. Rocking out with the greats
Had my own share of tears watching this video. It is hard to find a woman who understand metal like we men do. To feel the power and also reach the inner beauty hidden within the noise and the distortion armor. Great reaction!
Mateus Ribeiro ooohhh wow, I really appreciate, love. Thank you so very much!🤗😘😘💖
That guitar solo is pure gold!
Dime makes his guitar weep like ive never heard on this track.
It's beautiful!! ♥
listen to voice of the soul by death, Dime is my fav guitarist but damn chuck speaks with his guitar in that track
Jerry Cantrell is the only one in metal/hard rock id put above him in that aspect. Dime himself even spoke about Jerry’s ability to get crazy emotion out of his guitar and said that means a lot more than shredding a bunch of notes. Both legends and super good friends. RIP Dime, some of the best riffs and solos ever came from him.
8:58 There was a lone officer in the area when the call went out for the cops to show up. The lone officer ran in with his shotgun drawn, was guided towards the stage and engaged the shooter. He shot and killed the shooter on sight with one shot to the head.
May he never rest in peace.
Closed casket then, good stuff
@@adoyeti3007 Not really as I'd have pissed all over the gutless bastard . They say he was a Marine ? Bullshit Marine's are real men , real heroes not cowardly pieces of Shit that kill an innocent man performing to people who loved him and innocent bystanders who wanted to watch a guitar god master his instrument I feel bad for his mum it was still her son but he got what he deserved .
@@carlturner1374 Mental illness will make a monster out of any man. I’m sure he made the Marines proud when he was still sane.
This is one of those legendary songs beyond just being iconic. Master of Puppets, Holy Wars... The Punishment Due, November Rain, Comfortably Numb, Stairway to Heaven... Some unheard of at the time and others with immortal solos that had every guitarist going back to practice to learn them.
Masterpieces. Rest In peace Vinnie. Now you're rocking out with your brother again.
It doesn't matter how many times I've heard it over the years, the guitar work on this track still gives me goose bumps, and ever since Dime was taken from us it's hard not to tear up hearing it as well. RIP Darrell brothers, I hope somewhere they are reunited and jamming some more ideas.
Dime had that distinct sound on the guitar. Panters as a whole had a distinct sound like no other at the time (just my opinion)
definitely agree.. still sounds like no other.. I feel like Lamb of God tries hard to mimick Pantera's Southern infused Metal sound but fail miserably..
The only prob I ever had with them was the meatheads who tried to out "Phil" phil.
Dime's unique guitar sound, combining chugging lows and shrieking highs.
Rex's great basslines combined with his licks are a perfect support.
Vinnie's drum sound was huge and prominent.
Phil's vocals work perfectly with Dime's guitar. ominous lows combined with shrieking high notes.
Dimebags guitar tone could slice through fuckin steel! And Vinnie's drums could drop the walls of fuckin' Jericho... specifically Chris Jericho from the WWE.
There is no genre of groove metal, there is only Pantera.
Pantera’s song I’m Broken, was written by Phil in response to his back pain. Like you I have chronic back pain, and I’m Broken is my favorite song by Pantera. The shooter had taken one of Pantera’s crew hostage by putting a gun to the crewman’s head, after being shot three times. An officer arrived with a shotgun and noticed the gunman cocking the hammer and the officer shot him. The crewman was saved. VH1 did an episode of Behind the Music with video of the shooting of Dime and four others. As a fan it’s hard to watch.
Steve Crotty wow. I know I'll be skipping that. Crazy. But yea.. Wow.
Omg, that is so sad! Because of his back pain?? :(((( The story of his death breaks my heart! I can't believe that happened!! I am new to Pantera, but I love them, already and my heart aches for them; just as my heart aches for Cliff Burton, from Metallica :'( Thanks for your comment, love :* (((hugs))) ♥
Watching you almost cry to dimebag's guitar playing made me cry thank you for that. great reaction guys just great rip dimebag
What must be added to the Dimebag story is just what a down to earth guy he was.YES Pantera became the band in Heavy metal and Dime remained the same guy he always was. He never had a problem talking with fans maintained friendships he had before his success and was just the coolest muthafucker his murder was a tragedy
dime made a guitar cry like no other. loved the reaction, thanks!
A true metal fan, you can tell he knows when a killer part is about to start and he gets a look on his face like "you're about to have your mind blown and don't even know it."
I thought the same, aside from the fact that he didn’t know the words to the song.
And he had to look up Phil's name 😁
I love Pantera! Vinnie and Dimebag are jamming together!
Those brothers have a metal connection, it's undescribable. There is no groove metal, only Pantera.
Amen \m/
I love how the guy is smiling and laughing at Dimebag's guitar playing, celebrating his musical brilliance. Dimebag would be smiling up from the heavens if he saw this.
Ive said this on other reaction channles and ill say it here too... ita so great to see people appreciating music and keeping the greats alive and expanding minds. Music is a universal language.
Every time i hear pantera/Dime solo moment i cry...not afraid to admit it
She was literaly speechless it's amazing
Don't hold that cry back let it out
Wayne Static (Static-X) was only 48 and it was a drug overdose! His wife died a few years later from a drug overdose because she didn't want to live without him. It was a great loss. They had many great songs.
A brutal yet beautiful masterpiece. Love this song! Great reaction as usual!
You are a very lovely person and can truly appreciate musical beauty which is how i describe how dimebag Darryl and Phil Anselmo express themselves on Cemetary Gates. Only a person with a beautiful soul can understand and appreciate that.
My only real friend passed away from a ruptured aorta last September 17th... it happened when he was asleep... he was only 51, too. Healthy guy, worked out, was ex-Army, played high school sports, ate relatively healthy food. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you are in shape or an ex junkie. When your time comes, it's there. RIP Chris Roseman, RIP Dimebag and RIP Vinnie.
Pantera was my first ever rock concert in 1992! Cowboys from Hell was regularly in the tape deck (yep, tape, kids..)
When Phil and Dime talk to each other at the end of this, I have always thought this was a tip of their hat to Led Zeppelin, the song You shook Me, when Jimmy and Robert talk to each other same way. Its definitely awesome to hear
Man this was an amazing reaction video all around. There's never a dry eye in the room when dimebag matches phils vocals on the guitar at the end of this song. I've heard this for so many years and it still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up! There really are no words to describe how this sounds, it just needs to be listened to.
Thank you, love!! ♥
I had the privilege to see Pantera perform live over a dozen times they were and still are my favorite band I was devastated the day Darryl was killed on stage and I am still devastated that Vinny is also gone may the Abbott Brothers Rest In Peace
You can't be indifferent to Dimbeg or Cliff Burton or Randy Rhoads you have to be soulless,can't belive they're all gone now.
I love her reaction, and how he is just enjoying those Dimebag riffs. Beautiful
Loved how you gave her the back story. :)
Dimebag had a fantastic tone. Like no one else. He was amazingly creative and a humble person who could jam and drink with his fans and not let fame take its toll. The best ones always get taken too soon by the reaper man :/
Hi, Sunshine! I am still in awe with how that guitar sounds. But, also by how beautiful that song is!! I feel so sad that they are both gone :'( ♥
His tone was amazing
K9 Rootless totally agree
I looooove sistahs reaction on this one. This song is a bonafide masterpiece.
Those clavicles can't be ignored either.
Sorry not sorry?
Mannnnnnn PanterA makes me both full of energy and so sad. It's a weird feeling. I'll start tearing up at the ending but at the same time headbanging haha
What a beautiful react! Emotional and satisfying with the taking of the meaning from a horrible fact to a song launched years earlier, who could imagine Dime would cross the cemetery’s gates like that, but now they’re together, reunited in the afterlife, forever and never forgotten.
Pantera was a big part of my life, being born in 1997 i got intruduced to pantera at a young age and i always looked up to Dime, his guitaring style is indescribable, its something that moves you. R.i.p Dime & Vinnie 💕
Your reaction was so heartwarming, I would have outwardly cried if I wasn't at work so I just teared up... It is a great tribute to the brothers who were both taken before their time. They are in heaven playing together again now.
Thank you for sharing the might of Dimebag Darrell & Vinnie Paul.
YEEEEESSSSS! I was just waiting for her to hear the last note. So great! Thanks for sharing.
Lonnie Tapscott mmmwwaaahhh!😘😘🤗💖🤘🏾
I always tear up a little during Dime's "Floods" solo! It's not his most technical by any means, but it just has so much feel to it!
Listen Hollow is Amazing. Pantera Rules Dimebag and Vinnie R.I.P
i have all 5 stupid albums from Cowboys to Reinventing the steel on its way. Dime was to ounger generation what Eddie was for us. Dime was a Guitar hero, no doubt , except he didnt let fame & money change him, he stayed true to what he did. He was Pure just like you see & hear him. it was a very sad loss .
NOT Stupid up there^ ...suppose to say STUDIO lol
97warlock ismyname In 1995 I was lucky enough to meet Vinnie and Dimebag. ....you couldn't have said it any better. They was about making excellent music for the fans and having fun
HAs to be THE worst typo EVEEERRRR
LMAO, funniest typo I've ever seen
I spent two minutes trying to decipher this hahaha yeah now I realize you meant studio xD love pantera
I loved both Abbot brothers sooooo much. Texas STRONG!!
Dimes and those squeels... man I miss him!!! RIP legendary brothers
I still listen to Pantera almost on a daily basis. Seen them every time they played in Dallas area in the 90's. Greatest part of my life. Hollow or This Love. All pantera is a great tune. R.I.P Abbott brothers.
great reaction as always. Sistah's face got a little melted by that solo, def feeling the heat :-)
Hi, Sugah! Thank you so much! And yesss, lol my face... I told y'all on earlier reaction vids that I am super animated, lol. Love me anyway, uhkay? :D ♥
@@HalfLifeSistah that reaction was awesome to watch! It was clear to see that you were feeling the same feelings we all felt listening to that masterpiece for the first time, or even the 100th time honestly. I could tell you were really feeling the music. Beautiful
yo. you said you were a Gwar fan for all the right reasons. subscribed. Love y'all.
"I haven't heard a guitar speak" Girl you need to hear some Dave Gilmour. Can't say I'm the biggest Pink Floyd fan in the world but no one conveys more emotion in his guitar work.
I always said Mark Knopfler makes the guitar talk too.
Good choices, although I raise you a Stevie Ray Vaughan....2nd to none.
By far my favorite song of all time. R.I.P Dime and Vinnie
My favorite songs by Pantera are I'm Broken and Walk!
Tong Po Indeed!
Meeka LovesMetal good picks. Strength beyond strength and sand blasted skin are some of mine.
The combination of Phil's growled "I m brokeeen!" together with Dimebag's killer riff is just dope as hell! Totally agree
HalfLifeSistah - You are so awesome!
My fave one is psycho holiday
awesome! the power of music!
Your reaction made my day. Thank you
Germán GM mwah!!🤗💓
By far my favorite reaction from you two! It was also the only UA-cam video that has ever brought me to tears, and for that I thank you. Wonderful video!
Mitchell Cambron that is a tremendous compliment! Thank you so much! I appreciate you🤗😘😢💖
RIP DiMe & Vinnie. Beautiful.
I want you guys to know that I knew Darryl and Vince and they were the most kind and loving dudes on this Earth. They would have given you the shirts off of their backs if you had needed it. They always had a smile and beer for you. They threw the best parties and were just beautiful people. Thank you so much for doing this for Vince. RIP brother... I know you and Dime are showing Heaven how to ROCK Pantera style!
Aint nothing wrong if a song/band brings you to tears. Just means you felt the emotion intended
Amen to that. My son showed me the video and I broke down. Powerful song. R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell Abbott and Vinnie Paul Abbott.
Man, I love that song.
I was in tears last week when I heard about Vinnie. Granted, I was out drinking for my birthday and had misinterpreted the news and thought he’d killed himself, but I was still totally bummed about it.
RIP
Good brothers, Amazing music, it's sad how they went, but now we gotta look at this with new eyes, things change, we can't do anything about it but learn from it.... not just from it but from them too, especially Dime, from all the things i read about the guy he had a heart of gold, had a lot of energy, a large amount of passion, played guitar like some kind of monster, drank a bit and would set off fireworks in his own house... all in all, he sounds like someone that i would be down to just chill with. Also gotta say your reaction to this song was amazing, I've shown this specific song to a few friends and they never really have anything bad to say about it.. you honestly can't find a lot of people who can play guitar like THAT, i mean i try myself, but some of those tabs are insane, the guy plays a riff and I'm usually sitting there watching it and going "how did he do that, when all i saw was him twitch a finger...?" sometimes the words musician and magician seem like they where meant to sound the same...
O.o wow i wrote a lot...
Oh another thing, you guys are doing react videos right? consider some Lamb Of God, If you like mellow stuff i'd steer you in the direction of the song Overlord, be warned though, that band is heavy and dark, though the bulk of what they write is pretty good, lots of good guitar solos in there songs, sometimes they might have 2 solos, depending on the song.. sorry for the long comments, my brain-keyboard filters aren't exactly tuned to be efficient with people.. D:
It was a pleasure getting to your sincere experience to such a beautiful moment in time. I was reliving my first moment, in my mind and imagining going through, it all over again. Thank you for that.
Pantera: The musical equivalent of a mugging, but one that leaves you smiling ear to ear. RIP Vinnie and Dime.
You guys are adorable,definitely earned my sub ^^ especially loved the fact that you guys honor and respect the icons of Metal :) \m/ RIP to our gods of metal \m/
PornCore4Life Thank you, sugah. I appreciate you!🤗😘🤘🏾💖
Songs music hits the lows and highs really well to flow with the lyrical emotions being expressed!
I love how you react to music. You let it touch your soul no matter what type of music it is.
if you liked this please look into, what i think is Dimes greatest solo and thats from the song called "the Sleep" so much feel in that solo I'm sure it'll pluck on your heart strings!
Great reaction! Good tribute to the Abbott brothers, two truly good hearted men and absolute masters of their crafts. Rest on brothers
Dime's guitar tone and style were revolutionary, and Pantera were their own metal subgenre. RIP to both legends.
best reaction ever. so nice to see someone get it. they were so talented. this has always been one of my favorites but this reaction made me remember why I like it so much!
e haden thank you, sugah!💖
Great video. RIP Abbott brothers have fun in heaven.
Great job! mY favorite reaction to a song in a long time. You guys are superdupe.
I like these sad songs, this and this love - even pearl jam's black that add the anger
esentment with loss and sadness. A lot of songs ignore the anger part of grief.
From a 43 yr old headbanger, who still plays this and many other Pantera songs, I gotta say this song gets me every time. Great video, and great couple you guys make! Best wishes!
Saw them back with The Great Southern Trendkill, and that album was transformative in a what I could only classify as a malevolent supernova!
I appreciate you🤗😘💖
Also as a Pantera Fan, everyone says Cemetery Gates, to me Hollow is a more appropriate song for Dime and Vinnie, cause they where taken before their time, as a fan, I shake my fist, at the sky above, mad, at God. But that's me. Hollow is sadly one of those songs that only true fans remember and wasn't so mainstream and it was the villa Rosa nightclub in Columbus Ohio, he snuck through the crowd and security. Then shot him execution style to the head in front of his brother. First song 10:45 P.M. Dec. 8th 2004 till this day every Dec 8th I drink Crown Royal in remembrance and R.I.P Mayhem security guard. And the 4 fans that lost their lives that night. F.U. to the guy that done this. I know his name, I won't say his name, he took my idol away
Great song to tribute some extremely talented musicians taken from us way too soon.
Honestly a great reaction from both of you and I was reacting right with you both - goosebumps and all.
Thanks for posting this. Another great Darrell solo to listen to is the solo from Floods off The Great Southern Trendkill album. Record it if you’d like or just simply listen to it, either way you will be happy you did.
MUST. REACT. to live is to die
They were the Van Halens of our generation
Wes Weldon Exactly. Crazy though that Eddie and Alex are still going and Vince and Dime are gone.
But better in my opinion rip
Dime is buried with the original yellow and black Frankenstrat-courtesy of Eddie himself.
Came here because of the brothers, Vinnie and Dime. I'll come back because of you, Sistah! Love your reaction!
Dime was shot 5 times before he hit the ground....he was gone before he even knew he was shot...all in front on Vinnie. Terrible
OMG :(((((((
And Rita was in the crowd. 😩
@@99dedbuffoons17 geez. I didnt even think about Rita being there. Dark day in metal history for sure
@@99dedbuffoons17 No she wasn't Vinnie called her from there tour bus at the back of the venue to say Dimebag was dead read the facts and don't assume as assumption is the mother of all fuck ups .
@@soothingzounds73 As I pointed out to 99 ded buffoons Rita wasn't at the concert as Vinnie called her from there tour bus at the back of the venue to say Dimebag had been shot and had died as a result 🤘🎸People need to check facts instead of assuming like most people that didn't follow the band .
You left me incomplete.. Dime's iconic wail at the end. RIP
I used to have a guitar book way back in the day on the best players. Dimebags description on his sound was: Like a jackhammer ripping thru your skull.
I live in Fr.Worth and the first time I saw them was at a house party they were playing in 87.....Phil wasn't even singing for them then. I love these guys always have they are a part of my life. Growing up so close to these guys was amazing. Seen and interacted with Pantera for many years..!!! R.I.P to both the Abbott Family...💖💖
2 of the greatest artist EVER lived... heaven just got a wake up call.. and we will miss you Vinnie and we still miss you Dime. Your music will never die. RIP love you guys
I was personal friends with Dimebag and Vinnie for many years. I also founded a charity organization called "Ride For Dime" in 2005 which was an annual motorcycle ride and concert in remembrance of Dimebag. Each year the ride would pass in front of the cemetery gates where Dimebag is buried and we would toss flowers. I would hear Cemetery Gates in my head as we passed by. Unfortunately we lost Vinnie a few months ago. The brothers are once again side by side. The event ran it's course and the last ride was in 2015. I was honored to be the lead motorcycle in 11 rides. Do a UA-cam search for "Ride For Dime" to see videos from the ride as well as the concerts we held each year. Love your reaction videos.
Best reaction ever...
That moment when you closed your eyes just to feel the music.. so authentic and very open-minded.
Man I can still remember the very first time I heard this song, and around 25 years later I still get goosebumps every freakin time!
