If you've ever been at a thrash concert, you'll see that live it's not all it's made out to be.
it's just way overdriven pinch harmonics (squealing), tunings dropped down 38 steps so it's more "brutalz", and fretboard olympics that just turn into mush after about 30 seconds.
i actually saw zakk wylde solo with about 4 notes for 15 minutes. not kidding. we walked out after 15 minutes of him soloing. that was his first song. he was the headlining act.
thrash metal is on the other spectrum of the music world, opposite of pop radio, but just as forgettable.
pip dimebag, but aside from "walk" and "cowboys from hell", the rest is kind of meh.
also, Anselmo needs to be committed.

I agree with Rhoads but Jake E. Lee... he was a wanna be of Randy. Malmsteen is an acquired taste.
I like:
Vai
Satarini
David Gilmour
Gary Moore
Andy Timmions
just to name a few

I like Dimebag....but he became a much "better" guitar player after he died.
-
Did he died?
-
Below average player, fucked up how he got killed though..
Just as I was about to say "below average player" say Captain Equipose from getbig...haah
I read Malmsteen...redeemed. I still wouldn't say Dimebag is average or below. You could not like his style, but the guy played well.
Typical Dimebag gets shot, but tons of shitty "artists" live a long time.
-
Did he died?
Ok lol what is that from?
-
I think he got smoked on stage...
yes he did...and the nut job that got on stage and shot him then started busting shots at the crowd and security..some of it was captured on video that I have seen...gruesome shit...A cop came in the back door and killed the chump...

Pantera guitarist was gunned down onstage in Ohio six years ago
Dimebag Darrell Remembered By Fans On Anniversary Of His Death
Six years later it's still hard to believe. As fans around the world gather to remember the 30th anniversary of ex-Beatle John Lennon's murder, a small but no less dedicated family of music fans will mark Wednesday's (December 8) anniversary of another shocking rock and roll death.
It was six years ago today that beloved Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, 38, was gunned down in Columbus, Ohio's Alrosa Villa rock club in front of 250 people by 25-year-old gunman Nathan Gale. As confusion reigned in the club, Gale jumped onstage at the beginning of a set by Abbott's then-new band, Damageplan, pumping several bullets at close range into the guitarist before opening fire on the crowd and killing three others. A police officer responding to the scene killed Gale a short time later with a single shotgun blast to the chest.
The metal world was stunned by the murder of one of its most beloved and larger-than-life figures by a deranged fan who seemed to hold a grudge about the breakup of pioneering speed metal act Pantera. Abbott's death, which took place on the anniversary of Lennon's assassination by a crazed fan, still lingers as one of the strangest incidents in rock in recent memory. A number of metal sites paused on Wednesday to pay homage to their fallen hero.
The Noisecreep blog noted that "his death still hurts for the majority of metal fans, his former bandmates and his brother even though over half a decade has passed since the incident. ... While most of the music world is reminiscing today about the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's also-senseless murder, the metal community is mourning the loss of one of the greatest guitarists to ever pick up an axe."
The site spoke to former Pantera singer Phil Anselmo about the murder earlier this year, and he said the memory still haunts him. "I will say that with each passing year, it gets harder and harder and harder. This year was really rough," he said of the work required to curate the reissue of the band's legendary Cowboys From Hell without Dimebag's help. "When I look around today and see what an impact that we made, and where heavy metal is at today, and I think of what could have been? What should have been? It's very hard. It's hard to come to grips with it."
The Metal Underground site also marked the solemn occasion. "To a person, everyone who came into contact with Dimebag Darrell as he made his way around the world several times over playing the music he loved was made to feel like an equal, like a friend," read the site's remembrance. "With Dime, there were no walls between the fans and the musicians, between crew and band. There was only kinship and a common love of music and having the best time humanly possible. Even those of us who never met the man felt like we knew him from watching the Pantera home videos and seeing him exude one hundred percent uninhibited enthusiasm on stage each and every night and completely unfiltered, boyish joy off stage when he partied with his brothers by blood and by metal, the hardest drinking band in the business, Pantera."
In keeping with Dimebag's wicked sense of humor, the Houston Press took the occasion to point out some eerie parallels between Abbott and Lennon's murders, like "both men were guitarists."
Over on the boards of the official Pantera site, some fans paused to pay tribute to their fallen idol. "I miss Dimebag," wrote Jyrki, a drummer from Finland. "Makes me sad that there's never going to be another Pantera record. I'm broken."

dimebag wasnt trying to be a fucking steve vai or malmsteen...thats not what his style was.
what he was was probably the greatest ever at his chosen type of music. NO ONE had a better heavy metal crunch sound/tone than him. nobody. and his technical skills were underrated too; some of his solos are top-notch and his speed technique was precise as hell, and he had a great sense of phrasing which is most important for solos.
he wasnt among 'the best guitarists ever' but he was the best at what he did.

Jeff Loomis at 16 put dimebag and everyone on that list to shame.
-

i meant his chosen category of music, bastard ;D
of course we can always mention guys like rusty cooley and michael angelo batio...guys who can literally play ANYTHING-with either hand-with godlike speed-....but there is more to being a good, memorable guitarist than just raw technical skill.
-
as far as metal music goes, Pantera owned the 90's. I've seen 'em 4 times.
-
Saying Dime sucked as a player is pretty extreme. The guy had a great ear, wrote some awesome riffs, and had admirable chops.
Lumping all "thrash" metal guitarists into one catagory of playing is silly too. Alex Skolnick's leads sound nothing like Kerry King's. Kirk Hammet's solos are very different from Marty Friedman's.
-
Listen to this solo how bluesy and technical. The man was a genius.

Gilmour is unreal, Satch is ok, Vai is probably the most consumate and amazing (talent wise) musician in the world but plays the most fucked up weird shit, too much Zappa influence..
Jake E was NOTHING like Rhoads, totally different style, totally different, Jake E Leee was an incredible songwriter and a pheonmenal guitarist..
proof, his guitar playing in this (live) is on another level of tightness... the riffing just blows my mind
-

I wouldn't go that far but yeah...amazing player, he was 17 when he tried out for Megadeth , hahaha
-
Loomis is good but all we plays is scales. scales and really fast scales.

Yes! 2 out of those 4 guys actually know music theory and what and how they're playing, the other 2 are pretty sad...

I saw Pantera in concert 4 times during their peak in the 90's.
Dimebag is by no means one of the greatest players of all time, but he was very good at what he did.
He could shred with the best of them...

great thread

someone over at MD forums once said that they(Dimebag and Vinnie), would often(?) come to Metroflex gym(not sure if they actually trained there), and give away free cd's

I'll admit i've been bored with KK's playing for a long time and someone really needs to take away Kirk Hammet's wah pedal, the only person worse for hitting the wah at every solo is Mike Amott. Go figure he collects vintage wahs.
-
Dime had soul.
-
There are band guitarists/performers and there are wonder boys.
A Kerry King keeps the train rolling at top speed and is cool to look at - end of job.
Marty and co. is a proficient player and more of a real musician - I guess you can seat down with him and work out a simple tune and build a whole song on it.
On stage I would chose Kerry but for creating songs there are better options.

Exactly..
we used to make jokes (me and other guitar players) that someone crazy glued that wah to kirk's shoe, lol
that's what happens when you're a simple Em pentatonic blues player and can't think outside the box :)
as for Dime, he had the worst and most atrocious tone until he started using Krank, for his whole career (after the glam days of pantera) he used Randall's and they had this horrible trebly/nasal sound, his tone only improved when he dropped Randall and went with Krank and that was way after Pantera was done anyways.

i'm not a fan but i know he can play better than that.
that "solo" sucked.
