Dimebag was probably my biggest reason for picking up guitar..along with Hetfield & Hammet. Also Kurt Cobain even though he wasn't an amazing player, yet an amazing song writer. Started off initially with a drum kit, but fairly quickly moved to guitar. Like 20-22ish years ago for me too. Jim & Mick were massive influences as well. Time sure does fly 🤯

Jim is definitely one of my all time favorite guitar players, and also inspired me as a guitar player. The first time I saw Slipknot I was front row literally right in front of Jim. I recently bought one of his personally owned Fender Jazzmasters from Wild West Guitars. Back when he sold some of his collection to that shop. Incredibly, Jim himself actually wrote back to me on instagram and we had a nice convo about that guitar and cars too. Really hope I get to meet him one day he seems like such an awesome dude. Such a cool video and great to finally see what his garage and some of his collection!
