But he's not the virtuoso that the media is making him out to be now that he's been shot to death. Pinch harmonics, fast pentatonic solos, whammy bar dives, killer riffs. He's an awesome metal guitarist, but I'd be lying if I said he's one of the best players I've ever heard.
Also, I know it's supposed to be about the music and not about the image, but the number of posers that have been latching onto Pantera/Damageplan now that he's dead is really annoying. Because Pantera was all about going against the mainstream... the real Pantera fans know what I'm talking about
Fuck anyone on this site whos said anything negative about dime, if dimebag was here he'd shove a pointy dean up your ass!!

Dimebag
The most notorious, if not the greatest, heavy metal guitarist of all-time, with a great attitude, and an unrivaled passion for the genre of music and all that it stood for - the ultimate epitome of heavy metal, usually found on a stage in a small club, medium-sized auditorium or large arena, wielding his guitar like a battle axe and emitting gut-wrenching walls of sound to hundreds of banging heads.
Guitar God and Thrash Metal Hero Aka. Darrell "Dimebag" Abbott formerly of the Thrash metal foursome Pantera amd later of the band DamagePlan. He was murdered onstage on dec 8th 2004. RIP
