Solos were awesome. But that personality!! Like he knows every person in the room. No ego, no bullshit, and willing to share his secrets with anyone that would listen. Gethcha pull, and learn from the master. This beers for you, Dime.
people pull off the cemetary gates like he did. with skills like he did years beforehand. iron maiden is a good example. rhere are others obviously. but his skills in writing that music are great and what lucky people to see it up that close. good stage presence
It's funny, when I was in high school I was so into shred and instrumentals like Becker and Gilbert (who I still love for his honesty and no fucks given attitude in the community) but after all this time I return back to dimebag. I felt like a lot of shredders were beautiful on a technical level but lacked something that I saw in dimebag. It's like energy, or personality, power, or real character . Dimebag didn't do technique for the sake of technique like most of the guys did in the shred scene. It's like dimebag just said "fuck u and have a drink and let's go kick a trash can" and he lets his hands say all that, whereas other guys just said "yeah look at my scales here and this really cool saharn sounding sweep I worked on for this album". Dimebag may have not said much more than that in his playing, but it had so much soul and punch to his playing. I prefer him over any of his more technically impressive peers because I feel and know when it's dimebags playing. He makes it known who he is and what his personality is like on stage, whereas others just care about sounding technically impressive.
+ThyChrysanthemum He stayed away from sweep picking and and tapping, which are techniques that guitar nerds love but put you in cheese-land very easily. Dime's vibrato and squeal stuff is what set him apart from the pack
Adam Youdell hahaha, "guitar nerds." I just think people get so wrapped up in technique that they forget the whole point was to create a song. Like songs just become a showpiece or platform to flex their technical muscles. But Dimebag's a guy whose got the skills to be a pure shredder, but opts to actually make or at least play around the song, only to compliment it and not just covering it up with useless technique.
ThyChrysanthemum Dime could shred, be technical, bluesy.....he could do it all. He could play anything from Randy Rhodes to Van Halen to Hendrix. Dime, like every great guitarist, created his own signature sound and playing style that's like no other. He was one of a kind. He once did a live radio show in Dallas around '89 or '90 where people called in with requests. People called in and asked he could play Steve Vai, Randy Rhodes, Yngwie Malmsteen, Hendrix and various songs and Dime played them all. He could duplicate any other shredders out there.
I don't know what I love more; his all out assault on rhythm, or his otherworldly, precise, lead techniques. Definitely a legend on the 6string. R.I.P. Dime.
DCee listen to the Pantera song "We'll Meet Again" and listen to the solo. It is truly an amazing solo, more soul and feeling in it than any of Van Halen's solos
DCee I completely understand where you are coming from, and I see what you mean. I just enjoy the groove Dime injected, which has been imitated ever sense by countless bands, just as many other have imitated Eddie (although not quite to the same extent, its hard to match Eddies influence). His soloing was also very influential and overall great.
DCee I do agree with you on that point sir. It is not a good place to start, and it will come out sounding bad if you do not know what you are doing. And anyways, look what Dime first learned on guitar: lots Van Halen covers.
such a shame that the world was robbed of such a great talent and such a gentle soul.still he will live on through me and all those other present and future pantera fans for many years to come!!!!!!!long live dime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nah man Pantera is just simply known as having the greatest riffs of all time. They saved metal music in the 1990's. Solos like Floods and The sleep are just too emotional and written with so much passion. Kirk' solo yea they sound ok but it uses always the same lick with the Wah in every single solo.
All those people just standing there, I am Dimes biggest fan and if I was there I would be head banging till my neck cracked from my spine. I wish I was there ! Thumbs up if you agree !!!!!!!!
wow, all this talent... and nobody is cheering for him during his solos? I guess people take Phenomenal Musicians for granted. I'd be ecstatic to see him playing. Especially 5 feet in front of me. I'm still cheering you on Darrel. R.I.P Dime
Can you fucking believe Rolling Stones top 100 guitarists has Dime at 92. They even have a couple girls ahead of him! They put a bunch of lame guitarists ahead of him even someone from the band Police??? What in the fuck. To hell with their lists, based on talent and ability I know he's right there with Jimi, Clapton, and Van Halen. This shits why no one cares about Rolling Stones magazine anymore. This was all a popularity contest and plenty of good singer/songwriters/guitarists snuck in above guitarists. Dimes music doesn't appeal to all fans of rock and roll, but anyone that likes similar genres knows this music will never be seen again. Ever
+Markel Fortunato I'll tell you what, when you learn how to play the guitar riff to "Serve The Servants" off of In Utero then come tell me that Kurt Cobain was a hack who possessed zero talent, or better yet, learn "Love Buzz" with all the solos and all while you're at it.
followfornothing Dude , listen to Alice In Chains , More composition in terms of music , better solos , lyrics and melodies Jerry Cantrell is a beast compared to Cobain!
Hearing this again I remember how much I miss this band. I got to see Dime many times. Long live Pantera, no other band like them and very much missed!!!!!!!
Most unique sounding metal guitarist I ever heard. I don't know, I'm not that much into metal, but this guy always had something that made me wanna demolish a building while listening to him playing. He had no flaws, neither technical or musical and he was and still is fucking dynamite!
I usually can't listen to shredders for more than 2 minutes, but Dime was just flat out fucking amazing. Most shredders are missing the key ingredient to music; soul. Dime was one of those extremely rare guys who could shred your face off, but still pour rivers of emotion into his playing.
Sir, i could not agree with you more!!!! Not only that be was also the nicest person in the world. I saw a kid come up to a table where he was signing to get his guitar signed and Dime asked him if it was his. He said it will be but it's on lay a way. He left the table, went to the manager and told him that the kid was not allowed to leave the store without the guitar!!! He also has a charity that helps keep music classes in schools!!
Dimebag,was definitely that one metalhead everybody thought of when they closed their eyes lol. You could literally feel emotion and life through everything he played,even if it was 2 notes.
DUDE DIME IS THE REASON I PICKED UP A GUITAR! IVE BEEN PLAYIN FOR 6 YEARS AND I HAVE THE CFH LOGO ON THE BACK OF MY LEFT CALF (BLACK AND RED)...I STILL GET CHILLS LISTENING TO DIME PLAY, AND I COULD BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA ANYBODY WHILE LISTENING TO PANTERA! CFH!!!!
God damn, he was probably the best or one of the best metal guitarists that was taken from us among Randy Rhoads. But fuck Darrell was such a cool and nice guy, just friends who knew him and his brother when they used to ride motocross. Even at a young age he was a beast at guitar. At least that's what i heard. He was amazing. RiP Dimebag Darrell
dime not only had very fast high pitched solos and riffs, but the solos n riffs he wrote wer so thaught out and so precise and so fuckin (how do i say it?) GOOD. he was the greatest, and if not greatest most creative guitarist ever, not to mention the perfect set up he had wit a kick ass drummer, solid ass bassist, n one of the best writers ever. RIP brotha
I never got to meet him but at a small show in 96 in Indianapolis, it was 17 below outside and they were playing the Pepsi Coliseum which had no heat. They almost cancelled the concert but Pantera said that if people showed up in the cold to watch them, then they were going to play in the cold. Now that's love for your fans!
Sadly some people don't understand metal, a lot of the times it's too complicated for them. Damn, life isn't fair sometimes, R.I.P Dime, you're the best.
His ability to shred plus write those awesome riffs is what I always liked about him. I do like to think though that he would have signed with a different guitar company. I was never a big fan but he seemed to like them a lot.
I'm speechless everytime I hear him play and more so when I hear him talk and realize how cool & down to earth he was. You can tell he wants to be cool with everyone....f*ckin' shame...
I saw this dude a month before he got fucked and it is still the best day I've ever had going to any show period. He played solos just a few feet before me and I'm so thankful for it. THANK YOU BROTHER, DIME, WE ALL MISS YOU AND US CRAZY FUCKERS STILL ADORE YOU. CHEERS!!!!
Justin R. the one with the lightning on it (dimebolt) actually is priceless. it has an interesting history and is very important to dimebag. i think he even said it in this performance that it's priceless.
TRUE PANTERA FANS READ: fuck everyone else that wants to mock me or say some bullshit..I started listening to pantera when was 11.....I am 31 now and still fucking love it as much as the time i discovered it..I was fortunate to go backstage with Pantera, played pool with Dime and Pepper Keenan as COC was there too...I have to say that Dime was always the one that made me laugh as we have the same sort of sense of humor. Personality wise he was exactly as i pictured him.best moment of my life.
Solos were awesome. But that personality!! Like he knows every person in the room. No ego, no bullshit, and willing to share his secrets with anyone that would listen. Gethcha pull, and learn from the master. This beers for you, Dime.
no matter how hard anyone tries they will never pull off the cemetery gates solo like he did.
Hell no
True! Ola Englund did a pretty BA one tho!
people pull off the cemetary gates like he did. with skills like he did years beforehand. iron maiden is a good example. rhere are others obviously. but his skills in writing that music are great and what lucky people to see it up that close. good stage presence
Iron Maiden. LOL
he wrote it lol
Dimebag is the most cool and awesome person who ever walked on earth!
Agreed…angel’s come in many forms
that fucking New Level intro squeal
+Robyn Withrow Killer!
sounds like a horse being anally raped by a guitar
Accurate ^ haha
+samuel garofalo sounds amazing
He's just pick scraping.. his amp is a new level god damn, his tone is amazing

you are correct my friend !!! Nobody matches the soul of dimebag.. RIP Dime !!:'( We all miss him
agreed

Man you can see what a machine and creative force he was. Unstoppable power and energy in each and every single slice he diced.
6:03 is the kind of lick u play when u challenging the devil to a guitar battle
Thanks for reference💟before & after too. amazing stuff
Talented legend : lost but never forgotten, now get ya pull!
I don't know what I love more; his all out assault on rhythm, or his otherworldly, precise, lead techniques. Definitely a legend on the 6string. R.I.P. Dime.
One of the all time greats. I would put him as high up as Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen
DCee
listen to the Pantera song "We'll Meet Again" and listen to the solo. It is truly an amazing solo, more soul and feeling in it than any of Van Halen's solos

DCee fuck van halen.
shut up.
Wow first few seconds in and you realize this is really legendary stuff.
That video description isn't enough for so much epicness *-*
strange how he keeps the classical grip while playing all of his stuff, even the wide vibrato. He was a good player.
Rest in peace Dimebag, we'll always enjoy your music. Just watching this justifies how much we love you. Bloody amazing.
everbody should be made to watch this everyday before they go to work the world would be a far better place
I sure miss him! A legendary player that DEFINED Pantera's sound....epic!! Love this...thanks for posting

7 years ago today the world lost a true icon in heavy metal. One of the greatest metal guitarists of all time, Dimebag Darrell. R.I.P. GETCHA PULL \m/
Hands down better than Kirk hammet
1000x better than kirk.The thing is, Dime shreds with passion and soul and has great solos.
FORREAL DUDE and kirk only does it for fame
Kirk solos are better , just compare. Pantera riffs are great but rifss and solos not better - compared to Metallica -
Kirk whammet is not even the best guitar of his band....
Nah man Pantera is just simply known as having the greatest riffs of all time. They saved metal music in the 1990's. Solos like Floods and The sleep are just too emotional and written with so much passion. Kirk' solo yea they sound ok but it uses always the same lick with the Wah in every single solo.
Rest In Peace, brother! Getcha pull!!!! \m/
Greatest guitarist ever! RIP
You can feel colors and textures!! Just hypnotizing!
All those people just standing there, I am Dimes biggest fan and if I was there I would be head banging till my neck cracked from my spine. I wish I was there ! Thumbs up if you agree !!!!!!!!
Dime nuff said RIP DIme
Btw tip for people that couldn't follow his solos , put it on 0,25 for human speed :)
I would trade my life for him. Even though i wouldn't be able to enjoy him, the world would have him back and he could make everyone happy again.
wow, all this talent... and nobody is cheering for him during his solos? I guess people take Phenomenal Musicians for granted. I'd be ecstatic to see him playing. Especially 5 feet in front of me. I'm still cheering you on Darrel.
R.I.P Dime
Dude that crowd was relatively quiet. I would've been jumping, screaming and pumping my fists
You'd be missing out on the greatness that is DBD you wouldn't hear a peep from me when he played the cemetary gates solo
Merry Christmas dime!!!! you'll live on forever!!!\M/
Can you fucking believe Rolling Stones top 100 guitarists has Dime at 92. They even have a couple girls ahead of him!

followfornothing Dude , listen to Alice In Chains , More composition in terms of music , better solos , lyrics and melodies
Jerry Cantrell is a beast compared to Cobain!
+Markel Fortunato OK!
followfornothing He had talent , but c'mon , he is fucking overrated!
When you think you’ve become good at guitar.. dimebag always brings you down to earth
If Dimebag (R.I.P) was still alive there would be still good music like this on this planet.
why didnt people ask questions?!?!?! I would have asked so many damn questions, wtfffff lol
Because he is not dead yet
they did actually, before he started playing
Saba Inasaridze hahha sagol
+weabooreacts react to this
most important guitarist in the past 20 years, bar none. RIP Brother Dime, GETCHA PULL \m/
No words can describe the God that was Dimbag Darrell
R.I.P Dimebag Darrell, the best forever and ever, CFH! getcha pull!

As fresh now as it was 13 years ago. Love you Dime.
I must have seen this video a hundred times and it's always as good as the first time.
Most unique sounding metal guitarist I ever heard. I don't know, I'm not that much into metal, but this guy always had something that made me wanna demolish a building while listening to him playing. He had no flaws, neither technical or musical and he was and still is fucking dynamite!

Blacktooth Grin tonight fellas
best guitarist of all time within his genre. possibly across all genres.
I usually can't listen to shredders for more than 2 minutes, but Dime was just flat out fucking amazing. Most shredders are missing the key ingredient to music; soul. Dime was one of those extremely rare guys who could shred your face off, but still pour rivers of emotion into his playing.

Dimebag definitely had his own sound. Great achievement and contribution to the world of heavy mental, that I love so much. Sadly missed. R.I.P.
Dimebag,was definitely that one metalhead everybody thought of when they closed their eyes lol. You could literally feel emotion and life through everything he played,even if it was 2 notes.
this is the best video i have seen of dimebag.hes the best and will always be.R.I.P dime.
guys one hell of a guitarist wish i coulda seen them live. RIP Dimebag
DUDE DIME IS THE REASON I PICKED UP A GUITAR! IVE BEEN PLAYIN FOR 6 YEARS AND I HAVE THE CFH LOGO ON THE BACK OF MY LEFT CALF (BLACK AND RED)...I STILL GET CHILLS LISTENING TO DIME PLAY, AND I COULD BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA ANYBODY WHILE LISTENING TO PANTERA! CFH!!!!
what I love about his playing is how aggressive his solos are, he just f'in digs in to those strings.
probably the only person ever who could refer to a room full of grown-ups as kids legitimately and without anyone feeling offended...
I get chills every time i hear him play a solo. Dimes a fucking god RIP
The intro to A New Level is the best fucking riff of that whole album
R.I.P DImebag Darrell and his brother Vinnie Paul...
God damn, he was probably the best or one of the best metal guitarists that was taken from us among Randy Rhoads. But fuck Darrell was such a cool and nice guy, just friends who knew him and his brother when they used to ride motocross. Even at a young age he was a beast at guitar. At least that's what i heard. He was amazing. RiP Dimebag Darrell
He was a bad ass & the coolest guy you'll ever meet
still one of the best guitar videos i've ever seen!
Watching Dime play cemetary gates brought tears to my eyes.
this is hands down the best video I've ever seen
dime not only had very fast high pitched solos and riffs, but the solos n riffs he wrote wer so thaught out and so precise and so fuckin (how do i say it?)

Darell rip you are forever like the uncle in the world of metal to me.
THE GUITAR GOD...PERIOD! R.I.P. DIME, GETCHA PULL OL BOY!
THE BEST GUITAR PLAYERS OF ALL THIS STYLE, JUST ANIMAL!
He definitely made his sounds his own for life for sure
His ability to shred plus write those awesome riffs is what I always liked about him. I do like to think though that he would have signed with a different guitar company. I was never a big fan but he seemed to like them a lot.
Indeed one of the best of all times. RIP
I remember when I met him back in 2009. Such a cool dude. RIP
2009??? Since he was killed in 2004, I can't see how you did that!!
Oh maybe it was a different guy with long hair and a guitar then.
Paulo Assunção he met the ghost of dime Xp
rick a What a moron!!!
Hahahahaha for me this is the comentary of the day.
so awesome... still can't believe dime's gone...
Truly an amazing guitar player.
Easily one of the best videos on youtube.
I'm speechless everytime I hear him play and more so when I hear him talk and realize how cool & down to earth he was. You can tell he wants to be cool with everyone....f*ckin' shame...
R.I.P. Dime, hes up there Jamming with Hendrix, Cliff Burton, and all the other greats!
I saw this dude a month before he got fucked and it is still the best day I've ever had going to any show period. He played solos just a few feet before me and I'm so thankful for it. THANK YOU BROTHER, DIME, WE ALL MISS YOU AND US CRAZY FUCKERS STILL ADORE YOU. CHEERS!!!!
Gone too soon. A fuckin legend in his own time.
RIP Dime
I love 0:45 "turn that whole thing up." yes sir
this is possibly the best dimebag vid i have ever seen!
Those two guitars in this clip gotta be priceless by now.
Justin R. the one with the lightning on it (dimebolt) actually is priceless. it has an interesting history and is very important to dimebag. i think he even said it in this performance that it's priceless.
The blue one is called "the dean from hell" he wrote from hell on the wings on the tuner
