Dime created the perfect solos, they weren't just shredding, they were an experience. The way he builds up with intensity and speed and then finishes it with a harmonic squeal

When you made this comment deffo. The fact Vinnie died young doesn't fill me with much hope Dime would have lived any longer though unless he stopped drinking etc. I guess if Phil can still be standing there's no reason Dime wouldn't be.

[@purgatorialuk]

@@JPX64Channel Eh, you can justify their alcoholism as much as you want - truth is they were both alcoholics and likely would have been very sick at the least if they carried on the way they did. I'm just glad Phil sorted himself out, he seems a lot more with it now.

[@rettc4030]

[@mattyshredz1071]

He inspires me not only for my guitar playing. But he inspires me to be a better human being. Because everyone that has ever known him can't say one bad thing about him. I've seen countless interviews of folks talking about him. Not one bad thing was said about him. God rest his soul. 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥

[@djdrjacob1655]

He’s unreal, he is one of the most incredible of people to have ever lived. It’s a shame that he isn’t as looked up to more. It’s because he’s a heavy metal icon and most people don’t like heavy metal. I don’t know of any musician that plays with this much emotion. He definitely possessed a mind that is unique. I don’t choke up, but I can see why people do. RIP forever

I saw Damageplan Nov. 2, 2004 in Houston at a little club called Numbers. Got to chat with the brothers a little bit. Always down to Earth with their fans. It was extremely hard to come to grips with his passing a month later. I don't know if it was because I had just seen them a month before or because I had seen them over a dozen times from 1991 thru 2001 as Pantera. Or maybe it was because Darrell was such a great human being and didn't deserve what happened to him in the slightest. I just know that the people from my generation, and I was 26 at the time, and older were gut punched by his senseless killing. I was lucky to have met him and Vince several times being from Texas and all, but even the people that never had the pleasure still felt like they knew him. That's the impact this Kat had on people. He truly is one man that will never be forgotten.

Enquanto muitos guitarristas dos grandes do rock se tornaram mais "ninchados" com o passar do tempo ao encontrar seu proprio estilo (alguns se tornando até monotonos) Dimebag só melhorava e se tornava mais completo. É muito perceptivel que em 2004 ele tava no seu auge como instrumentista, tecnica e melodicamente. Eu nem consigo imaginar como ele estaria expressando sua voz na guitarra hoje em dia. Rest in power, my hero.

Seen all kinds of comments about dimes playing. I can’t say much anyone else hasn’t about it. But, what I think separates dime from the rest of the field in metal is very simple but yet superbly complex. He played metal with swing. That my friends is a straight up testament to how much he loved Eddie. The king, influencing the king, with swing.

[@Brokid81]

It's eerie seeing this and knowing that six days later he'd be murdered doing what he's doing in this video. What he loved. What he excelled at.
