Remembering Dimebag Darrell - Musicians Honor Pantera Legend 

Phil talks in drop B.

“Dime was an original, he deserves the original”

When I was a soldier at Ft. Hood,TX, I'd go see 'em at a club called Woodstock. I was always up against the stage when they played, and they remembered that. One night after a show, I was walking back to my barracks and somebody yells, 'Where you goin'?' It was Darrell and another band member with a couple of roadies in a big Suburban. They picked me up and drove me all the way to my building. That was back in '84 when they were promoting 'Projects in the Jungle' on an LP record. I still have his neon pink pick. It reads: The King Diamond Darrell. Yes, that was before he became Dime bag. I'll never forget him. Damn shame.

Starts listening to Pantera in the year 2015..i have no regret..just found the best metal band in history..

Phil talking about dime made me feel things.

Phil nailed it out of all these dudes describing dime.

R.I.P DIME. THE WORLD STILL SUCKS WITHOUT YOU.

"......Motherfucker had it all......", Phil Anselmo .

Never met Dime, was born after he was killed, but after hearing other peoples stories, I feel as if I do know him

for me we lost the greatest guitarist ever the day dimebag left us... what a fucking guy .

man, imagina dimebag teaching you one of his songs. that must've been heaven

All these hate comments on BVB..I'm not a big fan of BVB but come on, whether you like or dislike them they can still honor a metal legend.

He came to rock And rocked like no other With the heart twice the size of Texas Our beloved bother, mentor, idol, companion and friend... We love you Dime... Until we meet again Rest In Peace brother Dime! Your music will live on forever!

I don't think I've gone 1 day without Dime's music in the last 10 years. He may be gone, but he's still a part of my life every day. R.I.P. Darrell

Darrell May have died on earth, but he is still a living and playing in our hearts and memories

First concert I ever saw in 10th grade! 1998 at the Wiltern in Hollywood! Coal Chamber opened followed by Anthrax. Opening bands come out with water, Pantera walks on stage with Jack Daniels! They opened with Walk! Dime bag was 5feet away! Very lucky to see him and Pantera play!

Dime Bag is so underrated.... underrated riff's.... !!! R.I.P Dime & Vinne

Even after all these years I'm still not over it. I miss dime every day.

slash doesn't sound like he knows he died.

We miss you soo much dime, you are alive in my heart for ever and more, LOVE YOU DARRELL LANCE ABBOTT

Dimebag :) One of the rare people, that you could really love, even though you never met them. As a guitarist, I think he stood alone. As a musician and as a person, he was internationally adored by millions. Virtuoso. Professional. Big kid. Clown. Caring, genuine, super-friendly, funny (slightly alcoholic!) guy. One of "us". Perhaps the best of "us". Yes: I loved him. Sincerely. Look at one of the Vulgar Videos, where the kid in south America is freaking out to meet Pantera (in the car park), look at Dime's face, how he's not clowning or laughing at the kid. Look how he searched for anything to give that kid, to keep. Dime was really touched by the fan. He knew how it felt to love a band, to be a "fan". Dimebag was the fucking shit. The best guitar player on the earth, and he never once got a big head about it. It makes no sense to me, why the best people get killed, and all the shit bags keep on living. Truly truly truly truly fuck the world for all it's worth every inch of planet earth

That's actually amazing about Dimebag, he would run around stage, jump, do all kinds of stuff and he would literally not miss a note. And i really appreciate him and his Brother and what they gave us. Everytime i listen to Pantera, i think about Dimebag and Vinnie, and i thank them. Because Pantera's music literally changed my life.

I never met him but I love him like a brother, because of dime I try to be more positive, friendly, try to put others before myself as much as possible, kindness to strangers, cause that's how he lived every day... I swear I have felt his presence sometimes when I play guitar

R.I.P Dimebag, you're the greatest.

I love hearing people talk about him, he’s truly not forgotten. 🤘

17 years ago on this day dime was taken from us....that's why me and my neighbours will be listening to pantera all day.....

Absolute legend.

you suckers talkin about BVB, but this is about DIme RIP Dime lml

Legend nerver die He still alive in our heart....

Hard to believe how long its been since we lost him. Maybe its because we all still listen to and love his music to this day. RIP DIME. 😥

15 years man, R I P Dimebag.

Learning about Dimebag's passing is one of those moments when you remember where you were, the time and what you were doing.

Best Player there ever was. Always had the coolest guitars, especially his early washburns.

Happy Birthday, Dime. We all miss you and love you. Your brother, Vinnie, too. Rest in peace the both of youse! You'll never be forgotten!

Going to a metal show and prior to the bands playing or during intermission when they play Pantera the entire crowd goes insane and echos the words it's the most beautiful thing EVER

He will always be my hero. I miss him and his brother every day.

Love you, Dime. Thanks for the music, the heart, and being an amazing person.

I love it. That man was the shit and seeing the love and almost tear's from these men shows what a good soul he was. Miss you dimebag Darryl. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Dime was the best Metal Guitarist ever. RIP

still miss this guitar master every day. can't believe its already been 10 years

Who the fuck are these chicks at 4:50?

I remember the time when dime shredded my soul for the first time, and he will always be number one guitarist to me and a true inspiration and I am not going to lie I am crying as I type this I love you dime , see u soon brother.

STRONGER THAN ALL ... R.I.P. Brother

😭😭A true legend, and an honorable man😭😭 RIP Dime

Been a Pantera fan for 20 years strong after hearing The Great Southern Trendkill at my buddy's house,and the rest is history.

Missing Dime. Ten years without his soul. btw MAX and PHIL are the real ones more true here... but I had to say that The ones will love him, know him, worship him etc we gotta inner self way to remembering him. RIP Master miss ya´dude. GETCHA' PULL!

If there was a chance dime could see this I just want to say that your my inspiration to start playing guitar. I try so hard to have an amazing flow when me and my band play. You use heart and soul in your music and playing for others and that is was makes you my inspiration, you just go and dont stop for nothing. No matter how hard I try I can't come close to preforming like you. the craziest thing is with the simplest of riffs you created a new level in heavy metal and kept it going. may you rest in piece and continue shredding on the other side. I raise my blacktooth I'm memory of one of the greatest musician. cheers Dime

I still have tears in my eyes. I love you both,the life changers, Vinnie Darrell. Much love!!!

Dime taught me what a guitar can do. True legend one of the main reasons i play guitar. RIP VAN HALEN bro......

His death was and still is hard to believe. He was such an amazing talent and the best kind of person.

Ok god let's make a deal. We give you Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Justin Bieber and in return you give us Lemmy, Dimebag and Philthy ok?

R.I.P.DIME VINNIE PANTERA LIVES THROUGH THIS

KING DIME. A good soul and great musician. An inspiration to all

It cannot be overstated how much of a legend Dime was. Easily one of the nicest guys in rock'n'roll history. Probably the nicest tbh

I fucking love Phil, he's so passionate when he speaks lmfao

All these fantastic bands, then BVB

I’m currently 17 and my dad would turn on Pantera to pump me up on the way to peewee football games. It wasn’t until about 2016 that I tried to find those songs because I remembered the band name, but not the songs, so I sat on RU-vid for about an hour trying to find the songs that I remembered. I got about 6 songs on my phone and later got really big into tool because of Guitar Hero: World Tour. I got every tool album and listened to it until it made me sick. Then I said “hey, this Pantera band fuckin rocks, let’s listen to some more” then I was introduced to Cemetery Gates and many great others. One day I walked into the living room and told my dad that their guitarist is frikn awesome and he told me all about him. About how much of a legend he is and why he is the best ever. About a month I completed my Pantera album collection. Everything from cowboys from hell and after that is. Big fan, didn’t get to live it, wasn’t old enough to know of dime at the time of his death. But I still am sad he’s dead. No one has been able to capture that sound since.

Saw pantera supporting Megadef in 92 London and in 94 at Brixton.then damage plan four months before his departure..rip.

LEGENDS NEVER DIE! The Dime is in all of our true hearts forever! THE Inspiration!

Rest in Power Dime!! We love you brother! One of the very best guitar players if not the best to ever grace metal!

Still can't believe he's gone especially the way it happened..

Baddest guitarist EVER , RIP DIME, YOUR TRULY MISSED , AND YOU TOO VINNIE

Best metal guitar player ever

In retrospect, Phil really was a brother to both of them, it's sad that Vinnie never reconnected with him.

We miss you Dime you’ll never be forgotten

Muthafuka had it all.. I can only hope that when I am gone from this world, that people who knew me, would describe me as "a sweethearts of a guy.."💘

all i can say is he was very much a singular breed and to those who dont understand or get it you are not meant to

This whole thing was pretty sad and sullen, but @ 5:30 when Sulley Erna said, "Sulley, come on over here and do a shot, boy," I fucking lost my shit laughing. Damn, I miss Dime. I'm glad it ended on such a humorous note. It's how Dime would have wanted it.

I, unfortunately never got to meet or ever see Dimebag Darrell because I was about 2 or 3 when he passed away but as a young musician I am highly influenced by his badassery and I play pantera on my guitars allot, especially on my dimebag dean

# one rule that I tell people that are learning playing guitar is that it should be fun! You can always tell that Dime was having fun.😍

I feel a little bit bad watching these videos because I was 4 when he got murdered but I look back on it as a noble 14 year old and just think 'Wow. That actually happened?' Wish I was old enough to have been graced by a live performance by the man. Awesome guy.

Oh look its Scott Ian...Again...in an interview..again

I'm not a musician, but I did get to meet Dime months before he passed. I was on Zakk Wylde's bus and on comes on Dimebag. He was super nice and laid back. I was wearing a KISS shirt and we talked about the band for a bit. Great, great guy.

I saw Pantera a bunch of times and actually met Dime in 1998 at a bar in Dayton, Ohio after a show. He was the nicest, most genuine dude ever. We shot the shit for awhile, had a few drinks, and when he left he shook my hand and thanked me for coming to the show. But the way he said it made you feel like his night was better just because YOU specifically were there. Dude was a metal god but was still thanking fans for showing up.

Now he's reunited with his brother.

Chad lookin like a Real Housewife of Las Vegas

You know it's someone special when nobody has to tell you how good of a musician he was everyone here was talking about him as a person it didn't need to be said that he was a truly legendary guitarist RIP DIME and RIP Vinny

I am thankful that I got to meet and hang out with Dime a few times. He was always so nice, humble and giving. Not your typical rockstar, but he was a legend!

One of the main guys I expected to see here alongside Phil was Zakk Wylde and he wasn't which is kinda depressing

Great musicians were in the video, and there is BVB. Don't check the comments, I have caused a Chernobyl 2.0 by making the fans mad'

I'm 13, I just got into bands like Metallica Slipknot and Pantera, ya know the list goes on, but I recently got into metal maybe 6 months ago, I've always been a classic rock fan, that's beside the point, I just wanted to mention how I feel such a strong love and passion and respect for a guy I never met, a guy who died two years before I was born yet I respect, love, and admire him so much that's how you know what a good person he is like really though in everything I've seen with Dime he just seems like a chill dude, he doesn't seem to have much disrespect for anyone, and he seems so kind and friendly and so talented, I could get into more but you guys already know what I'm getting at cause you know about the legend Dimebag Fucking Darrell, R.I.P Darrell Lance Abott, 1966-2004, one of earths best most talented people, I'd do anything to meet you, we all love you yet again R.I.P.

This is an awesome tribute to the most talented and inspirational guitarist in metal music. I would love to see more cause you know this only touched the tip of the iceberg.

Did Richard from Rammstein just call Dimebag's riffs simple? Richard literally knows one chord.

Dime had everything with a guitar. He had the talent and the fast hands to do it withm i don't think there'll ever be as good as a guitar player like DimeBag, well if u don't count James hetfield, dave mustain and Zakk Wylde lol, their awesome as well, don't get me wrong but Dimebag's solo's we're sick!!!!!! R.I.P Dimebag. Gone but not forgotten

Anyone remembering Dime and Vinnie in 2020? Two amazingly talented and unique people.

I didn't expect Richard to have been a Pantera fan, but now looking at how Mein Teil, and really a majority of how the Reise album is written and putting that in a sense of Dimebag standards, I think it's safe to say that the riffs on that album are very Dime inspired or nuanced. *Simplicity* *Grit* *Dirtiness* *and it makes you move your body, and that is what dime lived by* "Music drives you. It wakes you up, it gets you pumping. And, at the end of the day, the correct tune will chill you down."

"Play it faster!" XD

some guy was wearing shades inside and im just wtf

FLOODS.... best song best solos best intro best ending.... DD Was and still is the best and VP was amazing drummer.Jesus is probably headbanging with them R.I.P.

I'm more of a Southern Rock type of musician but after hearing this guy (Dimebag) play, and listen to him talk to people at music store clinics I was impressed by his playing style and his great personality. This guy was a very special human being as well as super positive. Van fucken Halen Dime.

amen

Bvb? I thought this was about MUSICIANS talking about Dimebag.

First time getting into Pantera was when I found out I could download songs on my xbox360 and listen to them while I played games. Gears of War 2 + Walk makes you feel godly.

Has been 18 years without Dime...

Legends never die. What is the song in the intro of this video??

RIP Dime!! #BlackTooooooooooth!! 🔥🤘🏻😈🤘🏻🔥

Thanks my brothers from another mother. good to see you guys again.

I'm actually crying right NOW , because of Phil , I loved them , I was really young when my dad told what happened to Dime my heart hurts.

I literally played in a band with Dimebag!

Black Veil Brides don't deserve the hate they get. They're not really a badass band or anything, but they have their place.
