Interview Vinnie Paul about HELLYEAH!, Dimebag Darrell and Damageplan

[@JFP93]

ive got 2 say i admire vinnie. its only been six years since he saw his own brother shot dead, and hes picked himself up and carried on. rip dime.

[@towmater7081]

93thejackal Who would have thought only 14 years later we'd be saying R.I.P to vinnie paul Abbott also ? Damn

[@skimask5049]

not me brother, wonder were the guy is who posted this 7 years ago lol...

[@ValentinoJanic]

He never picked himself up, and it’s the reason why he died young like his brother. Vinnie never recovered psychologically and pretty much became a depressed alcoholic.

[@Louis2960]

We'll Meet Again is probably one of my favourite Pantera songs of all time! Such a great tune!

[@Mandilore89]

I love the song "We Meet Again" off the Power Metal album. I agree with what his father seen in it. I also love the guitar solo in that song.

[@HELLYEAH1313]

RIP Vinnie and Dimebag

[@timothyvanhorn909]

R.I.P. is for those that accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

What a fantastic interview. Some very odd but good questions. I like how their dad liked the song We'll meet again. It's one of my personal favorites!

[@vasantiago3038]

Great interview. . RIP Dime & Vinnie.

Falleció el 22 de junio de 2018 en Las Vegas, Nevada.

How in the hell did dime sell out!? He never let his fame or his talent go to his head and was always an upstanding, polite guy to his friends and fans. Don't say dime sold out for making a new band after the only one he had ever known broke up. He just wanted to make music again.

[@nickevans8990]

Honestly I don’t care if Dime sold out or not. I just wish he was still here 😢

[@OwlKnight32]

Such a sweet guy. We'll miss you.

[@werewolfofthemoon544]

RIP Vinnie and Dime🐺🐺💯💯✊✊🥲🥲🎸🎸

[@ArronP]

So much for a new damageplan album. Vinnie said when the times right and when they find good singers he said it will mostly likely come out....Sucks Vinnie and dime both gone!!!!

[@chrisbishop7486]

While Pantera back sorta... Wipe pat and bobs stuff off the sec DP record and let Phill and rex get a pull. On it

[@nickevans8990]

@@chrisbishop7486Pat never recorded on Dimes demos for the 2nd Damageplan album. Not sure I would want Phil and Rex swooping in and using Dimes last recordings to get paid but who knows what will happen…

[@monkeyboyandranders1423]

Well shit even simpler. Just wipe the fuckin bass. And rex and Phil would kickass exactly what u want them to do.

[@DixieWhiskey]

I will be the first person to tell you that while I like damage plan, it most certainly isn't in the same league pantera was and that i prefer dime and vinnie's work in pantera. Bu seriously man, dime just wanted to play and he didn't change anything about him.

[@shooski]

I bet vinnie would be a GREAT producer tbh, Hell if i had a band he could come into my studio and be king for all i care

[@bernstyles]

Fuck yeah Vinnie, take credit for creating Paneras sound. Cowboy forever.

[@Drizzt_Do_Entreri]

I seriously have to give it to Jerry Abbott. How in the world do you cope after losing your wife and 2 sons? I can't imagine.

[@SWbro94]

You wouldn't think the guy is a fucking monster behind the kit just looking at him.

[@NeonGenesisPlatinum]

Does he say "the main thing that he", or "the main thing daddy"?

[@darrenlee319]

Ya really need to reach out to phil vinny if anything for all the Pantera fans that were crushed by all that happened.

[@Brian-um5wt]

When he says we I get sad. I think Vin died of a broken heart.

[@stevenbrewer5161]

what makes you think my brother didn't get killed in front of me?

[@SpicyDragoon]

@jjallen1976 Nah, Damageplan's style is quite different from Pantera's.

[@SpicyDragoon]

To skip the ad 0:01

[@SpinalAlloy]

@jjallen1976 Phil reminds me of Shadow the Hedgehog and Vegeta because they're so serious all the time

Damageplan was dope

[@godica333]

Yes! Typo !!!!

Dimebag Darrel = N° 1

[@RandyMassia]

@jjallen1976 how did dime sell out? i'm not the hugest pantera or dime fan in the world. but he doesnt seem the type to sell out

[@SpicyDragoon]

@resdsox1 Agreed, but I was being technical with what someone said.

[@DeathMetalThunder]

*Tries to imagine Vinnie without a cowboy hat* ... *fails*

[@jjallen1976]

@DemmelitionMan95 try listening to pantera vulgar display of power then put in damage plan. youll hear it in the music.

[@ghostwhiskey]

@TANNERGRN I thought that when it happened,i was already thinking about john when i heard about dime. i was born the year lennon died. rock stars should stay home every december 8th

[@godica333]

Type O rules!

[@19Bearsfansince79]

@Tansumia100 Wrong sir!!!

[@jjallen1976]

@PappeH ok fare enough. i just think they were the perfect combination of musicians when they were pantera. it seemed to work more than any of the other side projects. i guess i didnt like damage plan because i didnt like the singer. it was almost as if he was trying to replicate what Phil had done.

[@NeonGenesisPlatinum]

@eminemfan125 LOL, but which dud hay sey?

[@megaluisdeth]

@GordoDustin There's no such thing as the greatest guitar player. It all depends on what you like and what it means to you. They both have different styles.

[@Reapersden666]

@a7x7636 i dont think anyone could handle Dimebags playing except him

@blackbart150 Via the magic of Facebook, I finally received an email advising that due to a virus and some hacking, BVR needed a new server. There were several emails and I've chased an update in December and last week, to no avail.

@Tansumia100 dime was an amazing guitar player, but petrucci is a way better guitarist then dime ever was. Way more experience and way more variety

[@GordoDustin]

@GebastianSorklo don't flatter yourself dude, just cause he passed away that doesn't mean you have to give him more credit then what's due. He was a really good guitarist, and among the best.........for his time. That's like when people say that Angus Young is the greatest guitarist ever, it just isn't true. I can name at least half a dozen guitarists that are better.

[@davemack6384]

better how? within the confines of subjective criteria from your head? Who then? Ollie Halsall? frank Gambale? Lenny Breau? Danny Gatton? who and why? Let's hear your perspective

[@GordoDustin]

Wow, 10 year old comment lol. I suppose it's all subjective really. My perspective has changed since I wrote this and "the best guitarist" depends on the listener.

[@jjallen1976]

these guys have fooled a lot of people. i loved pantera and its funny that i only like phil and rex. those 2 never sold out but the rest of them did. dimebag was an awsome guitar player but in reality he sold out and its hard for me to respect that. I will always support what Phil does because i think he was the true flame of Pantera. after he left the rest of the band sold out and came up with shit called damage plan.

[@jjallen1976]

@PappeH You would understand if you were an old school Pantera fan. Yes of course he wanted to play music and form another band but there is no denying his guitar work in Damage Plan was not anywhere near his full potential. Dimebag did a lot of immature thiings especially for his age. trashing hotel rooms and tormenting his band members with fireworks lol come on. in my book thats not a very nice guy. I dont mean to disrespect him but its the truth. damage plan was radio friendly= sell out

[@larryfreeman389]

He was a vary nice guy
