Did you ever her him play a guitar ? You may not listen to or understand thrash metal I don't even listen to lyrics 90% of the time but i've been listening to dimebag since 1992 and the man was the best at making a guitar do things that most big names couldn't in my opinion he was the best !
No, I have heard of him, but not heard him play. When I read this "article" I was just disgusted by the whole distructive chaotic lifestyle thing. - And the bad writing. Sorry, didn't mean to comment on his music.
"...the man was the best at making a guitar do things that most big names couldn't in my opinion he was the best!"
Could he produce music with it?
Dimebag was one of the greats. He was also a patriot.
Check this kid out - he does a nearly perfect rendition of "Cemetary Gates" playing BOTH the rhythm and lead parts:
