10 OCT 2022 CORRECTION: Jerry bought Dime his first guitar before he won the Dean guitar. Some people are saying it was a Les Paul replica but I can't find information on this. And a quick FYI, you can learn to play a guitar before owning one, I'm not sure why that is a shock to some people, especially considering how many guitars Jerry would have had lying around the house and the studio. 12 OCT 2022 UPDATE: I went back and read the relevant sections of Black Tooth Grin and it says, quote, "Jerry bought Darrell a Les Paul copy and a Pignose amp for his birthday". A Les Paul copy was Dimes first guitar, not the Dean Guitar he won at the age of 14. If you spot any other inaccuracies then let me know here!

He didn’t buy the guitar for Dime, it was one he’d already owned. He’d offered Darrell either a BMX or the old guitar. Darrell picked the BMX. After hearing Black Sabbath for the first time he went back to his dad & asked if he could trade the bike for the guitar. The whole anecdote is in the liner notes for the Sabbath tribute album Nativity In Black (which Pantera wasn’t on, though their cover of Electric Funeral was on the follow up)

Pantera weren’t just a band. They were a lifestyle! And I lived it to the fullest I could. Such a great time in so many people’s lives because of these guys. Rest easy to the Abbott brothers. Thank you so much fellas.

I recall when Cowboys From Hell came out. It was during the height of thrash metal and this was really something different. Then as the decade progressed and 80s bands grew more obscure, they simply dominated. Pantera single handedly crafted what would inspire an entire sub genre. It's the way Dime grooved those guitar riffs in combination with Vinny's unique double bass and how Phil punched out vocals. All of that would later be emulated by countless bands. But they are the original.

Pantera's sound is immortal and eternal, it will never be replicated. R.I.P Dime + Vince.

Pantera had such a strong positive influence in my life. I used to regularly visit this local pub in my hometown Bangalore, India which would blast Pantera tracks in full volume on sound systems that would literally rip our ear drums. It wasn’t just a stupid alcohol fueled rage or venting but every lyrical words that came from the songs of pantera was adopted in my life to fuel my ambition and passion ! When I was benching 100 kilos on my chest, i would be listening to ‘shedding my skin’, when my asshole boss screamed at me ‘ 5 mins alone’ rang in my head, in street fights ‘walk off home boy’ was the first warning given to the other person, cheating girlfriends? ‘This love’ comforted me, when I lost my dad ‘ cemetery gates’ gave me the strength to move on, every small, big successes or happiness ‘cowboys from hell’ made that beer taste even better and amplified my happiness. Even to this day, I get through difficult, normal, happy days by listening to Pantera. Thank you Phil, Dimebag, Rex & Vinnie

Pantera changed my life! There’s a reason they’re my #1 favorite band of all time. Vinnie was a huge influence on me to pick up the sticks. RIP to the Abbott brothers🙏🏻

I wish Dime was still here. Was listening to vulgar today, those guitar solos! He’s up there with the greats, a true pioneer.

As a lifelong Pantera fan I was reluctant to watch this, because this band means so much to me and its history and members can easily get misunderstood and misconstrued (since people like to focus on superficial bullshit and/ or on some kind of 'hidden agendas'). But I'm glad I did, since you approached it in a respectful way and clearly put a lot of effort into the research and the production, so thank you! I would, however, recommend you - and everyone else who is interested - to read Rex's Pantera autobiography ("Official Truth, 101 Proof"), if you haven't already. It is a bit controversial in parts. But it does give certain very personal insights that aren't available from reading interviews, in which oftentimes the same questions get answered over and over. Or from watching that cheesy VH1 documentary (which is cool in its own way, but also quite superficial). Apart from the fact that Elvis had a "little bit" of help from Little Richard and Chuck Berry in his "revolutionizing of Rock'n'Roll", I find it important to mention that the boys had Metallica over at Dime's mother's place in 1985, when they played in their area. They even jammed together and, according to Rita (Dime's long-time partner), Dime even showed Hetfield a riff that would later come to prominence in one of their songs! It might have been a similarly important experience as their later jams with Kerry King. Also, Exhorder from NOLA heavily influenced their sound in the late 80s and early 90s. Of course, Pantera cooked up their own stew and poured in their own ingrediences to come up with that massively aggressive sound that made them so hugely influential. I happen to play in a Pantera tribute band and have to say that, after all that happened, I find it extremely difficult seeing the sole Pantera logo advertised for live shows with Phil, Rex, Zakk and Charlie, later this year. I would have loved to see a little more thoughtfulness and care put into the advertising of this 'tribute project' that Phil and Rex obviously feel the need to do - and that I totally get and respect! But it is absolutely no surprise to me how the way this is being approached is dividing the fans and putting a lot of people off. It just seems like: Yeah, Vinnie can't pull his veto anymore, so let's do it. "PanterA - revisited" or something like that (in small letters underneath the logo would have been totally sufficient). The way it is being advertised, it seems disrespectful and misleading (remember: younger kids may not know their past) - or careless at the very least - to me.

I fully agree, the way the new Pantera tour has been advertised is just disrespectful in my eyes. If it was specifically labelled as a tribute, which it doesn't seem to be, it would have been fine.

It’s still hard to believe that the Abbott brothers are gone. They died so young

I feel so lucky to have been there and seen them live several times during their rise in the early 90's. Those concerts were crazy!!! I was at the front on the barrier at one and the crowd pressing from behind left a bruised line across my chest for a week afterwards lol.

crazy thing about the 2 pantera shows I was at. I grew up during the 80s been to CBGB's been to punk and hardcore shows and might have gotten a lump of a bruse. But my first Pantera show left with a broken thumb. my second pantera show left with a broken nose. the good ole days

Great video covering Pantera. There was no band like them when they were around, and no one will ever truly replace Dimebag's playing.

It's bitterly ironic,the way it's come to be with me and Pantera.... ....so you've got this really heavy band with that angry,male energy. But the way everything ended up; the ultimate fate of each Abbott brother...especially Dime... Sometimes just hearing a Pantera song will make me visibly emotional. Not the effect that I expected most of Pantera's music to wind up having on me.... Dime was and is my personal hero. I'm a guitarist and he's the best I've ever heard, and so it's pretty obvious why I would hold him on high. But aside from that,he was by all accounts a super laid back,chill,down to Earth kind of guy. It wasn't JUST that insane guitar skill that I admire so much.

I literally used to party with them in the year 1989-1990 in Houston Texas at a club that was called Backstage. They would come every other month and each time they did the crowd got bigger and bigger. I was a regular at the club so I had full access to areas that not everyone had so I was able to hangout in the dressing room upstairs behind the stage. I still remember all the tags on the wall written in black sharpie marker from other previous bands and in that room I would see Diamond Darrell before he was called Dimebag stringing and tuning up his guitar while Rex Rocker and Phil would be talking shit and drinking Budweiser beer with me. What I didn't realize at the time was I was seeing greatness in a genre of music being created right before my very eyes. I was 17 years old at the time and it was an amazing time that I will never forget! I believe there's videos of those performances at that club circulating right here on youtube so if anyone is interested in watching just search Pantera Live at Club Backstage in Houston Texas

For real man! Vinnie's double bass was so much more brutal than the current crop of metal at the time. Phill's swagger and the absolute simplistic yet utterly badass Dimebag grooves, Far Beyond Driven and Vulgar Display of power outright pushed me into playing guitar, just to see if I could even make a half assed similar Dimebag sound. Truly a band that changed the landscape of metal in their time. I also really dig Down and Superjoint ritual/Damageplan. Hell, Damageplan I think mighr have gelled really nice with a second album, had they not tragically lost Dime. Without any one of the 4 members, Pantera i think loses a vital ingredient in the groove metal/thrash metal Pantera vibe.
