RIP Dimebag, you were one of a kind.

[Kapo_Polenton]

for Malmsteen, it came by way of the fury!

Not just any fury... The FOOKIN FYOORY...

Phil is definitely burnt out on quite a few things, drugs fucked him up the same way they did Stevie Adler... And the rest of the band was crazy about booze and Dime was letting himself go so I could see your point on him not lasting much longer unless he turned his life around... Even when I was heaviest into metal loving bands like Vader and Death, I couldn't really get into anything past Far Beyond Driven, and even then I don't like most of the album aside from a few tracks and it just getting meh-er and meh-er until he was doing that last band that was so nu-heavy it wasn't my thing. So as much as I'd love to have Dime around cause of what he did, I don't think I would have liked anything he put out unless he went on stage with Steel Panther like Vinnie has done a few times and rock some Van Halen or something... Would be cool to see Vinnie and Dime do something more 80's again since Cowboys came out, you know, as a little side project or something

+1 , couldn't have said it any better. Cowboys was cool as hell. Man that was heavy. Vulgar was a masterpiece.. FAr Beyond Driven was cool in spots but it was obvious Phil's voice was gone. After that, it sort of derailed for me. I also would have loved to see something more in the 80's vein and ditch Phil.

Rex, Vinnie and Dime did that Rebel Meets Rebel country metal thing, so why couldn't they release an album with some 80's dude singing... Well, besides being shot...

You go back and see that video of little 18 year old Diamond Darrell doing a guitar solo with his hair bigger than Phil's drug habit and playing some Randy and Eddie licks alongside his own and just think God! I want more of that, man! Power Metal kicked so much ass!

One thing I'd like to add about Dime which is amazing, is the fact that he is one of the few guys who could play live and sound like you were listening to the CD. People always shit on complaints from people about major guitar players not being able to play anything live because it is "live" and if you want to listen to a record, "do so in your car" but a lead is pretty significant and his always sounded bang on and clean. Wicked playing. Rythms were no different.

Loved the band and the material but let's face it, these dudes were burn outs. The way Anselmo describes Dime is exactly how someone describes an addict. With that type of consumption I wonder if his liver would have been toast by age 45. Can't take anything away from Dime and how great he was. Riffs for days and leads were off the charts. The worshiping of their hard ass lifestyle the way Anselmo describes it however, reminds me of being eternally 15 and wanting to get smashed on the weekend then talk about how badass we all were. As for his shpeel on Malmsteen, I'm not sure what he is talking about "soul". Soul comes in lots of forms, for Malmsteen, it came by way of the fury! That guy was on fire through Odyssey and even the Eclipse album. Anselmo just rubs me the wrong way. He's a drunk with zero vocal talent and he pissed his voice away long ago..

I wouldn't say zero talent but the guy is a bum no doubt

I didn't mind the earlier albums but far beyond driven was a pretty big insult to the human race as far as the shit that was coming out of Phil is concerned
fuck I was probably 15 at the time I heard that album and even then I was insulted at how retarded this guy was lol

 

[moltenmetalburn]

No problem guys, enjoy!
