Brandon is the closest thing to Dimebag ive seen since he passed... Not that they they even sound the same that much...its just something about the way they attack the guitar with this perfect blend precision yet aggressive feel...Dimebag had a quality to his playing that even other great players couldn't perfecrly emulate... I think Brandon has that same thing.

[@wubbalubbadubdub8089]

It's funny how things can make a full circle. I dreamed of being this good at guitar in High School. I Practiced for years. Finally got to a point that I could hold my own and was supper motivated to continue playing and to get better. Then I met a girl.... Dated her for 2 years then got married. All while slowly loosing the motivation to practice guitar. 4 years of being married, she leaves me. By that point I had sold all my guitar stuff and had not played guitar in at least 3 years. Now I don't have the girl, the motivation, the discipline, or my own personnel best version of skill I worked towards. I'm living the same life I was living then. Except instead of school, it's work instead.
