First time i've seen this, pretty touching seeing what he feels, despite his troubles.

Apolagies if a re-post from years ago.

I remember seeing Pantera with Megadeth on the Rust In Peace tour.
Blew me away, very sad to see this.

I was too young to see dimebag/pantera, but he has been a huge inspiration to me on guitar since i started playing 6-7 years ago.

What I used to love about Dimebag's tutorials in old Guitar World mags (of which I still have most) was his humility. He openly admitted to knowing just a few simple scales, and "dicking around" with some "outside" notes.

In the majority of cases, it was 'classically wrong, dude, but real good played loud and fast' bow

Still sadly missed.

Technically, his music isn't that 'special' but no one else can capture the character and soul that went into his playing.

And he was so fluid playing and it just seemed so naural for him.


Pretty sad watching that video frown

Think I need to thrash out a bit of 5 Minutes Alone tomorrow night.

50W amps can be quite loud.

I saw Pantera in 2000 on the reinventing the steel tour. They were st and I was gutted. It was Phil's fault for being a drunken, smack filled knackersack.

I saw them in Cambridge (I think) on this tour, and was lucky enough to meet Dimebag and the Bass player (sorry cant remember name off hand).

I'm afraid, in real life he came over as a bit of a egotistical twit - but I guess when you've just come off stage it could have been all the adrenalin pumping still.

I will never forget first hearing the shear power of the guitar sound on Vulgar Display of Power, and the immense drum sound they got from the studio recordings!

Speaking of Marty Friedman and Megadeth etc - anyone else remember 'Cacophony'? For all you guitarists out there, check out Marty and Jason Becker under this band - bit dated sounding probably now, but was a stonking band in its day, and a firm favourite with the shredders in my old metal bands.

I saw Down play at donington in 2006, and was quite looking forward to it, but Phil was plastered, which was made much worse from reading interviews around then about 'how he was now sober etc..'

There was a real atmosphere when they came on but I was pretty disappointed with him TBH especially since it was his first appearances after what had happened. I'll cut him some slack as he'd had some pretty serious surgery about then too, and I've seen them a couple of times since and on stage at least he's seemed better, and over the under was an excellent album.

But I just don't respect him. Especially since I've got a copy of oct/nov-ish 2004 metal hammer where he states in an interview that given half a chance he'd 'beat dimebag to a bloody pulp' or words to that effect. This was a matter of weeks before the shooting. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that, but it's pretty tasteless stuff to say for a magazine interview regardless.

Bit of a not-so-mini rant there!
