Tribute To Dimebag: Favorite Dimebag Moments

[MahaMarty]

VANITY of VANITIES

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Music.

Who says it's not? Let me at 'em.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Read the thread LOL...

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

On the one, baby. : )

Testing testing zero one two testing!

Dimebag was talentless and played no talent needed music.

Dennis, you and I agree on a lot of things - but I am a professional musician, and I rarely say things like this, but I am so calling bullshit on you on this one. You haven't any idea what you're talking about.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Music is simply a combination of sounds and silences. Period. Metal meets that description.

Deal with it.

You are exactly right. I wish people would at LEAST be accurate in their speech. Instead of saying, "That's not music," they should say, "I hate this stuff."

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

But in its form, it isn't music. Sorry, but it isn't. Its like banging on a piano. One may end up with a chord every now and then, and maybe even play a progression that makes some harmonic sense.

Another one who is full of crap.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

What a thread. Sheesh. Everybody's a critic.

Hey folks, a GREAT GUITAR PLAYER was just shot to death in cold blood, doing what he clearly loved. If you don't like the style of music (yes, MUSIC) he played, just MOVE ON and don't make fools of yourselves exposing how little you know about MUSIC (yes, MUSIC).

Ay ay freakin' ay.

Anybody wants to take me on, I'm all ears. I've been playing and singing professionally since I was a fifth grader. I have names on my resume that would probably shock most of you. I'm often wrong, but has been my JOB for thirty-five years, and I promise - you don't want to go there.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Should say:

"I'm often wrong about a lot of things, but this thing has been my JOB for thirty-five years, and I promise - you don't want to go there."

There.

GRRRRRRRRR...

Nice!

Dimbag may have been a good musician but...Whether in Pantera or Damage Plan his music was unlistenable. Plus the Pantera album covers have evil satanic imagery.

Plus the Pantera album covers have evil satanic imagery.

Let's see...

Oooh. A Rattlesnake. Whoa! Satanic to the core! Everybody considers Rattlesnakes to be the Epitome of Satanism.

Oh my God! Someone with a screw in their head, which I take to mean a person who is "screwed in the head". But hey, that could be satanic, too, if one really wanted to stretch it...

Wow! Look at that! It's the Devil punching someone in teh face! Oops. Wait. My mistake. That's just an ordinary human punching someone in the face. My bad.

This is probably the most Satanic of all! The Mother of all Satanic Album Covers! Just look at it! It's there, honest! But ya gotta look hard!

Dimebag was talentless and played no talent needed music..... He dyed his beard a freaky purple. Our young freepers will learn to appreciate real music like the Rolling Stones and Frank Sinatra.

To each their own. You don't like the style of music he was in, fine. No one should have to die at the hands of a cold blooded murderer.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Joe Walsh did alot more drugs than most rock'n'rollers I know. He managed to stay alive and to tell about it. Dimebag may be a reference to drugs, but, he died by cold blooded murder.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Who said he was glorifying drugs? Oh, you did. None of the Pantera music or Dimebags solo stuff glorified drugs. If you can prove otherwise, feel free to prove I'm wrong.

[BigSkyFreeper]

If I were to purchase one Pantera CD, what would you recommend?

Cowboys From Hell is a great album.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I picked up the Damageplan CD - it is an incredible piece of work that, IMHO, far surpassed his work with Pantera...

I previewed some of the tracks on that CD at Amazon, and plan on buying it. I agree, the stuff sounds pretty good.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Led Zeppelin may be a rock'n'roll giant, but I wouldn't classify them as a heavy metal band.

vvv:

There are much bigger tragedies to worry about than a guy named Dimebag getting shot after a decade of producing violent music.

CF:

Have you thought about changing your screen name to lackofvalueslackofvalueslackofvalues?

In other words, shut up, Newbie.

I agree with valuesvaluesvalues. I'm no "newbie", so dump on us "old-timers", too.

So what if "Dimebag" had some conservative political views. There seems to be no correlation between political views and musical talent (or lack thereof).

Furthermore, even if he had conservative political views, he didn't seem like the type of man I'd want my daughter to marry.
