Together with Dimebag and Jimi Hendrix, they are the reasons I picked up the guitar. What does Dime mean to you guy's?

I really liked Dimebag. Pantera's first 2 albums of the 90s were heavy but accessible, and then they got really heavy and crazy. It took me a little while to get used to Great Southern Trendkill when I first heard it (back before I was into heavier stuff, Pantera was the second real heavy metal I had after Metallica).

I just wish I could've seen him live, but it's too late now.

Well, I'm not that into Dimebag, but I'm beginning to appreciate him. however many years ago I was mad at "Drag The Waters". I like that song like hell! Guitar rhythm and solo on it are great for me. Too bad he was murdered, but now he is a legend!

Yeah, 'Drag the Waters' really is a great song. Do you know 'Floods'? I probably listened to that one for like 10000 times.

I was never really big into Dimebag, but I do appreciate what he has done for Metal, and how he has laid down a big influence for a lot of people. Metal has surely lost a brother.

I got addicted with Pantera because of my dad, he's a big fan. When he found out that Dimebag was shot, my dad got drunk, went to the roof, and fired his pistol. He was really upset. He's really a great loss.

The Dime has been one of the heaviest influences on me. I don't play like him - I p[lay more like Slash, but his feel over technique approach which sets him apart from all the other shredders of his generation cut like a knife and embedded itself into the soul of my musical sensibilities. He will be sorely missed, but his music will live forever.
