Dimebag was a true guitar hero. an original! w/o a doubt one of the best of the last 15 years.
I will never forget Pantera at alpine valley for their Vulgar display of power tour. just incredible!!
if you've ever been to alpine valley for a slayer or pantrera concert, there is nothing like that mosh-pit on the hill. total mayhem.
pantera opened for megadeth and skidrow, and shredded both bands. that hill was complete chaos. it was literally raining beer cups and sod from people throwing crap everywhere. I got into a fist fight during the song "RESPECT/Walk". I remember punching this dude in the jaw so hard his eyes rolled back in his head and went white. Sorry to that guy, I was younger, meaner, and caught up in the pit.
there was literally 5000 ppl in that pit.
i wore the t-shirt from that concert for years. on the front it had that image from the vulgar display of power album, and on the back it said
"FUCKING HOSTILE"!!
Cemetary gates is still one of my favorite songs of all time!!
RIP Dimebag you are true guitar virtuoso !!!!!!
So if you meet me Have some courtesy, Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse, Or I'll lay your soul to waste
