Alright, everyone, I was a huge Pantera fan, and an even bigger Dimebag fan, he was influenced by Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads, and my favorite westerner or cowboy next to Ronaldus Magnus and President Bush. Feel free to list any favorites of Dimebag, including songs from his bands or concerts, you get the idea... Mine: The ending of Cemetary Gates, his harmonics were a perfect pitch to Phil Anselmo's falsetto part of the song, and then he did Phil one better by going to higher note than Phil could touch...except with a guitar, which is pretty incredible. A guitar legend...

I listened to Pantera about ten years ago, shortly before coming to my senses.

My favorite dimebag moment was in college and had nothing to do with Dimebag or Pantera.


That said, you're correct that he is absolutely furious on 'Cemetary Gates'!! He will be missed by me.

What does this have to do with people picking their teeth in public?

RIP, Dime.

I am kind of ignorant on this Dimebag guy. Kind of hard to get excited about a guy named after a $10 bag of dope.

The remake of Cat Scratch Fever. Never was a huge fan, couldn't usually stand the growling vocals, but I liked the background music.

Mine? Being 17 years old and getting completely wasted before going into the mosh pit, punching every person in sight, coming out all bruised, and me and my buddies going "THAT WAS SOME AWESOME SH**, MAN!!!!"

Who says this music is violent?!

Dimebag, eh? His claims to fame are probably:

• Smoking a J with Ozzy Ozbourne.
• Setting himself on fire at a party after doing enough drugs to kill a horse.
• Jumping out a 3rd story window while high on drugs at a party after betting your friends that you could fly (I know, I'm being really rash by assuming that a guy nicknamed "Dimebag" would have anything to do with drugs).

I got to hand it to Dimebag, he died in a very rock'n'roll manner. But not as rock'n'roll as Randy Rhodes, who died by getting very high on a variety of drugs, buzzing the his band's bus with his airplane, and crashing said airplane into a house.

I always liked Quarterbag and Dollarbag better. Dimebag just didn't seem to have the same value as the other guys....

How many of us who are really into music (though, admittedly not this dreck portrayed as music) had never even heard of this guy?

Mine is the first hand up.

[Tx Angel]

I've met the guys on several occasions, either following gigs, or just hanging out at a club. Dime had an uncanny ability of remembering names.

He was the nicest guy. He was well regarded and will be missed. And he was one hell of an axe grinder.

But what do I know -- I'm just a thrash drummer. Seems like that might be a bannable offense, based on some of the narrow minded and ignorant reactions here.

I've never listened to Pantera but this whole concert murder shoot-em-up has me curious. If I were to purchase one Pantera CD, what would you recommend?

RIP, Darrell.
