Met Dimebag in 95 at Guitar Center in Arlington. Was sitting down just playing some shitty guitar riff then a badass lead started playing over it. Turned around and it was Dimebag, I was in such shock I can only piece together what he said. It was something to the effect of "Yah man just keep practicing dude...."

Who says his album tone sucks? Let's see what tone they got! Dimebag made every metal guitar player better that actually gives a fuck about the art. He was more than metal, the king of metal for sure, but more to him than that. You're ability catch his sound as well as you do actually gets me teared up! Sometimes when I see playing his stuff, I have to decide if I'm up for being emotional. So many things I can say, but I have probably said to much for digestion already. Thank you sir!

Andy Salter Tone is totally subjective, you can love Dimebag with all your heart and still think he didn’t have a great tone without being a douchebag. I came into metal through stoner and doom so it sounds super harsh to me. But that’s just my opinion, and I still adore Dime.

I have learned so much from Ola, he was the guy made me realize that I could record my amp at home and get a great sound. Because of him I dared to try and it's been a long journey but I've learned so much. Ola, just like he says here he is a good person and he has been opened with his followers. I can't imagine how many people has sent him questions and some times stupid ones and he would answer them anyway. I have been one of those, and the guy always gets back to me. Although if he didn't I wouldn't be mad as answering questions all day can be annoying and time consuming. A couple of months ago I had a question about mixing guitars and I made a test I sent the questions to 4 guys including Ola (first time I do this). 4 guys that are in a similar level as Ola.. ( I just don't want to mention names) but they are well known these days... and the only one who got back to me was Ola. That says so much. Again, I would understand if Ola decided not to reply to all his 100s of messages but the fact that he does it's evidence that he is open and likes to help. Ola ins an inspiration and we all should be very grateful for him! I tend to write about people like this because I hate when others do it when the person is dead!! After those very inspirational people die that's when others start saying good things about them and recognize them. I freaking hate that with passion. So that's why, Ola thank you for all you've done and continue doing. I hope you live healthy, happy, and long, much blessings for you and your family!

I had the chance to meet Dimebag at Red Rocks Far Beyond Driven Tour. The show was awesome, also had backstage passes. Dime was so cool, just like you said acted like he knew me already. I got the whole band to sign my shorts, which I still have.

I had the privilege of seeing Pantera before Dime died. Probably the most memorable show of my life. The crowd lit the bushes around the main stage on fire when Dime slayed the solo in "The Sleep." The local fire department showed up to out it out and drenched the entire crowd, which was a blessing in disguise because it seemed to be 9,000 degrees out. Awesome video, Ola. He is, and will remain, one of the most influential guitar players in the history of metal. Rest in power Dime, you are truly missed! :)

It's great to hear this kind of stuff from a guy that's kinda young. Newer metalheads are prone to shit on Pantera cause the music was 'simple' or they were the gateway of metalcore and all that stuff. Thing some people don't know is: when Pantera appeared massively with CFH, they were absolutely the heaviest shit on the mainstream, no doubts. When Vulgar was out the band was the flag of metal all thru 90's (in mainstream circles of course), when thrash died and grunge took over the radio Pantera was there to kick ass with superb production, really solid performances, great stage presence and groovy yet aggressive metal well written and perfectly delivered.

everybody is talking about how good dimebag was but noone EVER will reach him not because they cant shred but they have no time,no soul no heart just a youtube video for subs and likes metal in good old days was written in vinyls Dimebag was original metal fun,he was in love with metal thats why he is the best

Dimebag and buckethead. Two of the the most humble people in person it seems, Dimebag always had time to talk to an avid fan, give advice or just chat. Put a guitar in either of their hands and that disappears, they rub their skill in your face, make it look easy in its flawless beauty, drop the guitar and back to humble. They don't make 'em like Dime anymore, that's for sure.

Dimebag was the holiest trinity of perfection, coolnes and creativity - which made him an idol.

There will never be another Dime. The way he would bend the strings with his soul and the pure life that exuded from his being. He was one of kind. That said, you and Wes Hauch have kept his memory alive, and us Southern metal heads owe you a debt of gratitude. You should have been on this Pantera tribute tour.

I saw them in California in a small club when CBFH came out, I was in the crowd right in front of Dime it was mind blowing. RIP DIME!

Growing up in Arlington, I got to know Dime & VP. They were older & went school w/ my brother - we would frequent the same bars, later they would come to a golf course that I was an asst pro @ - they would play with the Dallas Stars - always the coolest guys you could ever wish for. Everything was "hell yeah dude, lets do a shot"

Ola total respect and love for your passion, I first met dime & Vinnie in 83 before they made any cassettes that they would later sale at the clubs here in Dallas. Dime was always humble but very driven and was always interested in how he sounded on stage. I miss those days. I have their first ever autographs of their first promo pics in a magazine called Heavy Metal Times. They told me at the time they didn't know they were in a magazine. It was a small article about local Dallas bands to watch for. Pantera were great from the start. I used to help them tear down their equipment after the shows and one night the sound man locked the keys in their van and Dime (Diamond) went off on the guy and the next day the sound man didn't show and Dime said you know where I can get a mixing board so I took him to McCarty Music in Wichita Falls where Aaron Barns just happened to be working I went to high school with him and knew he worked there and the rest just became history for the band. All they ever wanted to do is make music they worked so hard and made it huge. I can't believe how it turned out for them. Away you sound great. RIP Abott Bros.

A few years ago, I greeted Ola on his birthday and he replied just like a normal person and even thanked me. He doesn't have that arrogance that others have. He treats his fans just like Dimebag does to his fans. Dimebag inspired him and he inspired me to not stop improving on my guitar skills. I've always wanted to order his Washburn signature guitars but it's not available in my country because of the greed of the previous government. Anyway, I also liked the 4-cable method that he made a tutorial about which I can't replicate yet since I can't afford an AX8. Thanks Ola for being such a down-to-earth person.

Being a young kid from Texas then moving to Virginia, I never fit in with any of the farm boys around there. In high school I started making friends who played heavy metal. I started lessening to Pantera and was hooked by the guitar sound. Later I learned they were from Texas, I started trying to imitate Dimebag's playing style. The man was and still is my hero!

Heroes are forgotten but legends never die!!! Dimebag for eternity!!

Ok, so in 1996 I saw Pantera in Denver's Red Rocks. They we're touring with White Zombie and Eye Hate God. It was my first METAL show. At the time, I lived in Colorado Springs which is about an hour south of Denver. The show, needless to say, was INCREDIBLE AND THE LOUDEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD! It changed me. On the way home, with a car full of psychos, we talked so much about Dime. I didn't know the first thing about him. My introduction to Dime was him coming out on stage that night ripping "Suicide Note Part 2" and Phil jumping around like fucking MANIAC! IT WAS AWESOME! NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT, NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE IT. I WAS SOLD! I got home, woke up my Dad and told him "I wanna do that! I want to play guitar, and bass, and drums! I WANT TO LEARN ALL OF IT! DAMMIT! I was fucking motivated man. Like no other time in my young life. I was 18. Been playing music ever since. Didn't make it to Drums just yet. I still got time. So, Thank you PANTERA, DIME, PHIL, VINNY AND REX. THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤🤘❤🤘❤🤘❤🤘❤🤘❤🤘❤🤘❤

I wanna say that in my case too, "walk" and all the album "vulgar of power" in 1997, just blow my head ,and so i knew the meaning of metal, this chage my life, and since more than 20 years i play guitar... Dimebag Darrel gave us so many pieces of lovely music... but more than that... for the rest of my life, thre will be so much memories in my head that will sound like that guitar, that really shredd and cried... so many of my memories carring his songs

The same thing happened to me as a kid when my brother was fixing his beetle at the garage and the opening riff of "Becoming" started to play from his casette player. The heavy metal fly bit me and the rest is history. It's an awful awful shame that Dime had to leave like that.. Rest in peace.

RIP dimebag he was one of the best heavy metal guitarist and he inspires me to play guitar every time i watch him on stage on in interview he motivates me to do my best at anything no matter the challenge

Thank-you for this! A beautiful tribute! Teared up a bit when thinking about the times I was fortunate to meet him. He was a class act, and I'll always cherish those memories.

Thanks Ola been watching your channel for awhile now, I enjoy your videos, and your jokes(everyone needs a good laugh). Keep up the good work man...a humble thank you, from TN, U.S.

Much respect ola...always keeping dime alive!

I loved this great tribute video man, Dime is up there with the greatest, and it really amazing how many people he inspired whether they played or not, Dime is a legend taken from us way too early.

Amazing job, Ola! Keep doing this for us.

Extremely cool Video man! Happy 50th Birthday Dime!

Thank you Ola for this! Your playing is impeccable. Thru it long live Dime's legacy and long live Ola and God bless you and your family on this Christmas season🎄🤘🏻✌🏻️🇨🇦

I discovered Pantera when i was 14 years old at the time and slowly discovered metal. Vulgar just came out a few weeks prior a friend let me borrow his tape and the first song i heard was A new Level and i was hooked for life and now 45 years old, still today a hardcore fan. Pantera shaped me on who i became today, they saved me from suicide as a teenager lost in this shit world with many demons and no one to talk too...i will die a Hardcore Pantera. I met them in June 2004. They shaped me on who i became today. I owe them so much. in June 2004, Damaplan came to my town, i managed to say thank you to Dime and Vinnie for what they did for me even if it almost cost me an eye in the process. LOL but i didn't care, I had shared few Black tooth and few beer with my 2 idols. I'd love one day to meet Rex and Phil to thank them also and tell them my story of Vinnie almost blinding me. I hope they come to my town for the celebration. i'll do anything to be there. I was suppose to see Pantera in Summer 92 i think, dumbass ex friend was suppose to buy 8 tickets, he bought 7. Since that day i never spoke to that guy ever again.

Amazing tribute. Dime would be proud. You hit the nail on the head on everything.

I spent some time with Dime twice.. And all I can say is: YES, HE WAS A GREAT PERSON. And we ALL miss him. Thanks Ola, your videos cheered me up. Thanks and cheers from France!!!

I know this is an older video but I am revisiting all the Dimebag videos before I head to Texas to visit Dime and Vin's memorial site. I have to just say this is probably one of my overall favorite's! Your playing on these is amazing and gave me chills and brought a year to my eye. Thanks for sharing your love of Dimebag bro. Cheers!

Dime will be GREATLY missed. He was THE quintessential guitarist, in my book. He had chops, but he also had a "feel" in his playing that conveyed so much attitude, as well as having "soul" that showed so many layers of badassery(i.e. the solo in Floods). He was also murdered two months after loosing my mother to pancreatic cancer. I met him while he was doing clinics for Randall Amps, and all the stories about his awesome nature of a human being are true. I never knew the guy till talking with him, and he made me feel like we grew up together. Such an amazingly awesome dude!🤘🏻👹🤘🏻

I saw Pantera 15 times and damageplan 1 time from 1992 to 2004. Every single time I saw them I had a blast! I got to meet dime 4 times and every single time he was absolutely awesome. I wish a lot metal fans today could have seen them live, they would understand what I'm talking about. Pantera is still my favorite band, and though I might like a lot of other bands none of them could ever dethrone Pantera from the top of my list. This was a great video Englund, nice job.

That was a very nice kind of tribute, ola. Very heart warming.

great ola!you take the spirit of Dime alive with your attitude!!

100% agree Ola. This video almost brought me to tears. Dimebag must have been such a kind and nice person. I mean, watch his clinic video. He was obviously a very friendly person. Didn't behave like a superstar and gave everyone the feeling he likes them and I am sure he did. He was one of us and gave us all so much of his passion. I will always miss him and also his brother. They both were so brilliant musicians.

I have two Dimebag guitars and they're both absolutely amazing to play, ones a dean and ones a washburn. He has such a impact on the way I perceive music and life, in the all in, just go for it type of way. Rest in peace Dime!

absolutely 100% agree with you! Dime was a huge inspiration for me, I personally think he's one of the most influential guitarist of all time. love him or hate him he was a extremely kind guy and one hell of a party animal!

Awesome bro. Keep on doing what you're doing. Dimebag 4ever!

This was beautiful Ola. Dime lives on eternally through all our hearts, minds and fingers. Long live the shred!

Dime was always that one who would have actual fun and didn't care the legal rules much, so in general he was a "hey man, let's go do this and that", great guy. R.I.P Dime and Vinnie

Ola E. Your doing an amazing job with your tributes to Dime. I've seen Pantera live 3 times and the first time was in Philadelphia at the Spectrum in 94' far beyond tour. I don't have to tell you how crazy that show was, general admission on the floor only, but when the lights went out right before Pantera started playing, me and my few friends, along with almost the entire seating audience rushed down and jump to the floor, security couldn't stop any one. I had the best time of all 30 something shows I've been to, at that concert, I was lucky enough to catch a Rex guitar pick while there. All of us who love Pantera and Dime were touch in some way or another. By his amazing playing and his personality. I think it's awesome that with your success as a musician you take the time to make videos and pay tribute to Dime, it show how great of a person you are, and you Sir are pretty dam close to Dime's sound, tone, and playing style. If there's a tribute tour? You'd have my vote to play Dimes music. Rock on Ola, Dime would be honored.

I love how much you love Dime. He has been my all time, #1 fav guitarist since I was about 8 years old. I used to use Vulgar Display Of Power as my alarm clock to wake up for school. It's very comforting to see his legacy carried on through such a talented and awesome dude such as yourself!

Brought a tear to my eye man. I think everyone who is a fan of Dime feels like they knew him, and feels like he was a best friend to them. I think of his passing as one of the greatest tragedies in music history. RIP Dime, you have touched so many people and will continue to do so as your legacy carries on. #DimeLegacy.

Feel the soul thrilling by these Dimebag tribute, you're doing it well!

This was a terrific tribute, and I greatly appreciate the upload. Thanks, Ola.

Thanks Ola!!! Simply as that!

Thank you for posting this, you captured Dime's spirit and personality perfectly!

Dimebag was the man. I was lucky enough to walk past a pawn shop yesterday and they had a Razorback Explosion in the window! They were closed but I knocked the window till they opened.. deposit placed and collecting it tomorrow morning 😎

Wonderful tribute! I also have to add, I don't think I've ever seen someone play his stuff so "honestly". I can't think of a better way to put it. It just sounds so right. Every time you see someone cover Dime's riffs or solos, even when it's someone great like Zakk Wylde for instance, it still sounds like that person playing a cover. You seem to channel his style and tone, and the finer nuances of his playing, perfectly. Nicely done.

My first concert was Pantera, Soulfly, and Morbid Angel when I was 15. Life changing experience. Great video, Ola!

Dime is missed,I got to see Pantera 6 times thru the 90s early 2000s they helped create me as a musician and person,Thee will not be another Dime or Pantera,unless you where there to experience it you'll never truly understand why the rest of us tear up at the meer mention of Dime or why us true Cowboys from hell will fight/argue with anyone trying to put them down,we love you Dime,thank you for the great memories and the even greater music,without you my life wouldn't be the same

Love this video Ola. I love Dimebag so much. To this day he is one of my biggest influences. It's actually pretty funny. I hadn't realized this until just now after watching this video. I picked up the guitar when I was eleven and played on and off in to my twenties. About three years ago I was watching some old Pantera and was watching Dime play the solo from Cowboys from Hell and thought, "Holy shit! I've got to do that, wait!!! I CAN do that! I bought a new electric and became serious about my playing. I wanted to be the best. Ever since that day three years ago I've been "beyond driven". Guitar is all I want to do. I truly love it. Thanks for everything Dime. Getcha Pull!!!!

Floods is so f🤬ing haunting! What talent he had! And what talent Ola has to reproduce it so beautifully!

this was an awesome tribute Ola!

Just caught this video. I'm impressed ola. Great words of encouragement to guitar players and lovers of metal. Passion for music and not fame. Thanks for the video.

amazing as always ola!

Amen Man! You sound very sincere and genuine about your love for Dime! Keep up the good work and God Bless You!

Where all sad that Dime isn't here anymore but it's good to see how much impact he had on all the guitar community.

Awesome tribute man!! Love Dimebag's playing, had the best riffs, leads and tone! Metal Master..... R.I.P.

Dime had a very warm personality. You are absolutely correct about him. R.I.P. Dime. We'll meet again and share a Blacktooth grin together.

imagine how many awesome song would have been written had dime's life gone on. its amazing how influential he was with as little time he had.

I met Dimebag and the rest of Pantera in 92 at a record signing. I also saw Dimebag's last full show at The Icon in Buffalo the night before the tragedy.

Ola is a fine example of what a real guitarist is all about...dime is mine and my youngest sons HERO ever since I use to skate with him in texas!...and yes now OLA!!!...he's always has answered my emails and so on and has given me great advice on guitar stuff...thanks for all you do brother ola...now I can say dime and ola has given me the drive of playing...

Those are some awesome guitars, nice tribute. One can only wonder how many more kick ass metal riff's Dimebag could have unleashed on the world, had he been here, truly missed.

Dime is a major influence on me as he is for a lot of people! This was very well done Ola!

Great tribute, Ola - it's great hearing your heroes talk about theirs! And quite aside from your great playing, the effort you put in to keeping up that friendly attitude really comes across in your videos.
