Dime is amazingly down to earth. He is SO not arrogant or stuck on himself like most musicians. He talks to you like you're his friend and that's what makes him stand out. He's REAL. God bless you Dime - you are missed!!!!!
He was without a doubt my favorite METAL player. he had attitude,chops,feel,timing,sense of humor he had everything going on at once! RIP bro we miss ya!
With all his greatness and accomplishments on the guitar, Dime will be missed more for his giving personality, charisma, caring for others, love and most of all his HEART!! Twice as big as the state of TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!! Dime gave it all every day to each and every one of us and our lives have forever been hollowed without him...Thanks to all of you for reaching out to us in this time of our immeasurable loss. REST IN PEACE BROTHER DIME!!!!!! -Vinnie Paul
Questions?... Questions?.. Mom? Questions? The dude was real, man. He loved to jam and he was a happy dude. And he't talk to ya too. If you can't think of anything to say, he sure the hell could. And he'd be all cool and shit. And funny as hell. I remember talking to him after a Ft Worth show, and he acted like we've known each other all our lives. Thats just how he was. His brother was the same damn way. A little more chill, but always happy to see you. I'd run into him here and there every once in a while and he really didn't know me. But he acted like he did. Always smiling and ready to shake your hand. Greatness. You can be a great musician. You see them all the time. And you probably know a couple great guys. But it is extremely rare to have one of the greatest musicians and one of the greatest guys wrapped up in the same package. And Mamma and Pappa Abbott created two of them. I don't mean to sound all weird and shit, but it's true. And they are and will continue to be missed.
Man the people who got to go to this clinic better have realized (or now realize) just how goddamn fuckin lucky they were. I'd give my right eye to have been there. Dime = Legend.
I met him after the vulger show in Portland. He bought a bunch of pizza'a and cases of beer for all of us. Then we just hung out listening to Kiss's Rock n Roll Over talking about guitar, chicks, oregon weed, and what I did at the Cowboys show that he remembered :) Hella cool
watching vids with dime being real as hell and seeing how much of a bro and a nice guy he was makes me cry. seriously, why did it have to happen to him, of all people. I'll keep saying that at least 5 times a day until the day i die. it makes me so sad, man. i'll never let it go.
Watching stuff like this makes me really miss Dime and Pantera. The man was more than just a great guitarist. I regret never getting a chance to meet him.
I saw Pantera in 99 when they opened for Sabbath. It was by far the most intense show I have ever been to. Dime seemed like he was such a good guy. Dime for ever
The majority of people will be awed by the trills and things like that but there's a defining moment that happens in this part of the vid...the doorbell incident towards the end. You either understand what I'm getting at with that observation or you don't.
@spazmicjosh actually his tuning is just a bit above D, its like 1/4-1/2 step above, he has always said D though. Still crunchier and heavy as hell. DIME TIME....GETCHA PULL!!!!!
he always has a badass southern rock sound and i want to know how he gets it like that all the time. its never melodramatic BS its always badass sounding.
dude, i'm with you!! everyone standin there, you got a sober dime, no phil, in a small guitar shop. no one can think of a single fuckin question to ask the dime? what's in the water in arlington? fuk'd....
get the dean dude. a good tool in your hands is more important than an amp. cause when you got a better playability i think you are more motivated to improve your skills
The thing is, those amps and most amps, dont have crunch like that without a petal of some sort. I have a Laney AOR Pro-Tube-Lead (1986)that has a lot more crunch than a randall. But they are good amps.
I think it's funny that he says the thing it played at 4:41 wasn't anything cool just something to get moving. Then it turns out to be the main riff from Living Through Me hahaha
the only thing about this video is that it makes me want to meet him even more, but i can't, it's just weird that he's dead, they say that everything happens for a reason but still haven't seen a good reason for dime's death, makes no sense
@MegaRain8 Yeah i know life as a student does not leave much money for anything really but dimes rigs is pretty cheap to buy say compared to a mesa stack, most of his stuff can be got for fairly cheap these days. keep at it you'll love it when you've got it :D
He was killed because the murderer was psycho and was actually obsessed with Dime. He was so obsessed that he wanted to be known as the one that killed him. Also i've heard that he was mentally ill.
yea and he says "nothing cool..just moving.." that shows that phil's distancing made a lack of creating 4 all the band..sure the trendkill kills but in some songs i guess u can see that lack:-?? sorry if i'm mistaking
my main question for him would be how much music theory does he know? does anyone know his music background? i want to know everything he did to get so good
Jonathan Hopper He probably would have loved to have met you too. I met him a couple times and he acted like we've known each other all our lives. Probably would have done you the same way. Unless you're a weirdo. Nah. You could still be a weirdo and he'd still like you. He'd probably say something like, " It's okay, dude. I'm half weirdo so we should get along fine. Now take a shot with me".
LMFAO he is funny as hell great great person....did he do drugs? he seems very jumpy or that is just him love his personality it is great tha door thing was funny
Person: "How'd you get your beard red?"
Dime: "Just cranked it up. Tightened it up a little bit."
Dime is amazingly down to earth. He is SO not arrogant or stuck on himself like most musicians. He talks to you like you're his friend and that's what makes him stand out. He's REAL. God bless you Dime - you are missed!!!!!
He was without a doubt my favorite METAL player. he had attitude,chops,feel,timing,sense of humor he had everything going on at once! RIP bro we miss ya!
When Dime walks into a bar, his aura is so powerful that his Black Tooth Grin is already made ready to be drunk. Such a cool yet chill guy.
With all his greatness and accomplishments on the guitar, Dime will be missed more for his giving personality, charisma, caring for others, love and most of all his HEART!! Twice as big as the state of TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!! Dime gave it all every day to each and every one of us and our lives have forever been hollowed without him...Thanks to all of you for reaching out to us in this time of our immeasurable loss.
REST IN PEACE BROTHER DIME!!!!!!

Dime = Legend.
there will never be another dime ever again, that guitar his holding rest with him cause no one else can look good on the guitar RIP!
"Everyone's burnt out, low keyed n skitted" Now that's some cool slang!!! Only from Dime!!!
Dime i will miss you bother. You are my idol. R.I.P you are a guitar god forever
what a character.. he was just "ON". Born to be an IDOL
He played the "March of the SOD" lick at the beginning, awesome.
it so cool to see Darrell be himself
makes me smile everytime i watch these
Fu*king hilarious. Questions are answered short and sweet. Dimebag is a legend. R.I.P Dude.
@xtwwrestling123
Exactly - for those who don't know @ 0:28 Dime plays the riff from "March of the S.O.D." which is one wicked-bad-ass heavy riff.
I met him after the vulger show in Portland. He bought a bunch of pizza'a and cases of beer for all of us. Then we just hung out listening to Kiss's Rock n Roll Over talking about guitar, chicks, oregon weed, and what I did at the Cowboys show that he remembered :) Hella cool
Right on man! Dime and PanterA lives in us, the fans!
Starting a 5:26 , i lost it LMFAO! god what a refreshing attitude that more people need to have! professionall but not afraid to goof off! what a guy!
watching vids with dime being real as hell and seeing how much of a bro and a nice guy he was makes me cry. seriously, why did it have to happen to him, of all people. I'll keep saying that at least 5 times a day until the day i die. it makes me so sad, man. i'll never let it go.

Dime seemed like he was such a good guy. Dime for ever
YEAH RIGHT!!! Hair band members are known for their superior fighting skills! Everyone knows that.
The majority of people will be awed by the trills and things like that but there's a defining moment that happens in this part of the vid...the doorbell incident towards the end.
You either understand what I'm getting at with that observation or you don't.
That is one of the good things about metalbands, you can make fun of them and laugh, and they will laugh with you.
not only a kick ass guitar player
but also a top fucking bloke
r.i.p dimebag darrell
@spazmicjosh actually his tuning is just a bit above D, its like 1/4-1/2 step above, he has always said D though. Still crunchier and heavy as hell. DIME TIME....GETCHA PULL!!!!!
"Whats up im Dime. Im about to blow your mind by simply talking and being in the room."
4:36 Even in 93' he had his "Southern Trendkill" tunes, the song he plays sounds the same as the intro of Living Through Me.
he always has a badass southern rock sound and i want to know how he gets it like that all the time. its never melodramatic BS its always badass sounding.
Thats funny dude, this is like the 7th time for me. Cant stop.
the coolest guitarist ever. just allround badass
the best metal guitarist that lived on this earh...
'DING!' Best of the best!
We need someone like this now
the best baddest guitarist that walked the planet
Whoever recorded and posted this vid...THANK YOU! I salute you.
I remember seeing him in his purple Cadillac a few times back in the day. It was that big fuckin' sedan. Then, it was the Escalades.
dude, i'm with you!! everyone standin there, you got a sober dime, no phil, in a small guitar shop. no one can think of a single fuckin question to ask the dime? what's in the water in arlington? fuk'd....
although i believe u about hendrix, ace frehley was the reason dime played which is also why many other guitarists from that time played
Even his warm up kicks my ass!!!!!!
1:38 "how'd you get ur beard red" did anyone else her that ... lmfao
He really was talented.BORN TO FUCKING PLAY THE GUITAR! He was up there with Edward Van Halen.
just trills (fast hammer-on's and pulloffs) alternating your fingers to warmup/ build strength and dexterity
i dig that storm troopers riff in the beginning
get the dean dude. a good tool in your hands is more important than an amp. cause when you got a better playability i think you are more motivated to improve your skills
Love the eyebrow raise ar 5:45 when he does the bar squeal haha
Damn! talks bout rockstar personality and no bullshit.
Man, Dime being from Texas totally makes up for George W. We forgive you, Texas, you rule.
We're gonna be cooking dogs, drinking some beer and doin' some illegal shit, just kiddin'
LOL!
ba hahahaha at the end he just walks away "...jesus"....man this guys awesome.
RIP brother D
Holy shit man that is intense on the fingers great exersise thx dime
The thing is, those amps and most amps, dont have crunch like that without a petal of some sort. I have a Laney AOR Pro-Tube-Lead (1986)that has a lot more crunch than a randall.
But they are good amps.
I love this guy.
R.I.P. Dime you are the best
I think it's funny that he says the thing it played at 4:41 wasn't anything cool just something to get moving. Then it turns out to be the main riff from Living Through Me hahaha
the only thing about this video is that it makes me want to meet him even more, but i can't, it's just weird that he's dead, they say that everything happens for a reason but still haven't seen a good reason for dime's death, makes no sense
Dean guitars with high output pickups, mxr eq, randall century and warheads
3:39 The riff to Living Thru Me (Hells Wrath). Im guessing this was made before The Great Southern Trendkill so thats epic
Exactly what i thought
alot of signatures have been created that way. they've played other people signatures but want to change certain things.
No one like him is alive today. RIP
i own a line 6 spider 3
but i played the krank in guitar center which i wish i owned one they are awsome
i'm 50 and dime is my HERO!
@MegaRain8 Yeah i know life as a student does not leave much money for anything really but dimes rigs is pretty cheap to buy say compared to a mesa stack, most of his stuff can be got for fairly cheap these days. keep at it you'll love it when you've got it :D
Dime gas husband would be proud
the king. awesome!
trivium kicks ass. and lets not forget the greastest. DIME!
He was killed because the murderer was psycho and was actually obsessed with Dime. He was so obsessed that he wanted to be known as the one that killed him. Also i've heard that he was mentally ill.
one word..legend.
hahaha oh DING!Dime's the man
he put those pickups on the dean from hell, good move because i own both the dean ml on this video and the dean from hell
dime is awesome.
wow dime is a badass.
XD "questions....anyone, anyone....mum?"
the best R.I.P.
aww..RIP dime,
i wish i couldve been there, it would be soo cool.
but i was born in the wrong era. :B
amazing
i just got a 79 ml with floyd, the stock pickups are great
So! Ain´t that something?.. Man hes cool :D
Heh, just go see some Paul Gilbert videos for stretching. That guy's got the spidery hands of an evil wizard.
Gawd...hes f'ing awesome. A God himself
happy birthday dime
Dime 4 ever !!!!!!!
yea and he says "nothing cool..just moving.." that shows that phil's distancing made a lack of creating 4 all the band..sure the trendkill kills but in some songs i guess u can see that lack:-?? sorry if i'm mistaking

btw, where does the "you know it's true" come from?
haha he matched the doorbell
oh man what a funny guy
no way!!!march of the sod at 00:28!!

russ
my main question for him would be how much music theory does he know? does anyone know his music background? i want to know everything he did to get so good
More specifically, the pickup was a Bill Lawrence L500 L.
you watch these and see what a cool guy he was...it just sucks man he shouldnt have died.

s.o.d-march of the s.o.d on 0:28
*DING* - ou, ding, you hear that shit? ding :D
Damn, I would have loved to meet dime!
Jonathan Hopper
He probably would have loved to have met you too.
I met him a couple times and he acted like we've known each other all our lives. Probably would have done you the same way. Unless you're a weirdo.
Nah. You could still be a weirdo and he'd still like you. He'd probably say something like, " It's okay, dude. I'm half weirdo so we should get along fine. Now take a shot with me".
damn heavy!
Tighten it up put some colour in it :-D , Dimez beyond forever man !!!
Getcha pull!
