Hear how HEAVY Dimebag Darrell ACTUALLY sounded in the mix | Pantera reaction

Dimebag Darrell of Pantera was a truly extraordinary guitarist. And his legacy, even today, 18 years after he was forced to leave this world, makes him absolutely irreplaceable for the world of Metal.
So in the light of the latest Pantera tribute shows, in which I just wanted to point out that in my opinion both Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante are doing an amazing job, let's take a look at some of the isolated guitar parts for Pantera and just remind ourselves how insane of a guitar player Dimebag Darrell actually was... Spoiler: WOW!

We will take a look at such songs:

Pantera - F*$king Hostile
Pantera - Walk (x2)
Pantera - I'm Broken
Pantera - Rise
Pantera - 5 Minutes Alone
Pantera - Mouth For War

*Unfortunately I had to remove I'm Broken from the video :( But please read the latest community post about how to enjoy it still*

People always go to his solos, but his riffs are god tier.

[joecool]

People don't realize that what made dime different was his sense of timing and rhythmic variation in his solos as well as time feel.

[arvindshastry]

My absolute favorite Metal guitarist, the guitar solo of 10s always makes my eyes a little teary because it's so beautiful.

[caddyeric]

18 years today, the world lost Dime. Yet, we're still here thinking about him, looking him up, and rocking out to his music!!! Long live Dimebags legacy and those few who lost their lives that night, GETCHA PULL!!!!

[yobgodababua]

The riff from Cemetary Gates ALWAYS gives me chills.

[jordanbruce]

“The Sleep” is my favourite work of Dime’s. The fact that he composed and recorded it when he was about 21 years old is mind-blowing to me.

[GalleryATV]

The ending of Cemetery Gates where Dime matches Phil and then ups him one more at the very end is still my all time favorite!

[RecklessEnterainment]

Dimebag is my favorite guitarist of all time. Not only is his style unmistakable, but he was an absolutely beast with how effortless he makes it look to shred so hard lol. On top of that he seemed like such a genuinely nice dude who just wanted to have a good time. 10/10 one of the greatest to ever shred.

[henrikthorsen]

I especially love his solo in I'm Broken. And the bass work from Rex during that solo is also amazing btw.

[mikerobertson]

I had the pleasure of watching those guys grow up on stage. Living in North Texas and being able to see Dime & the boys pretty regular was an honor. Rest In Power Abbott Brothers!! 🤘🙏

[TheLukaCeeChannel]

DO REX DO REX DO REX!!!!
Zac and Charlie are KILLING IT! I want to go see this show so bad.
Pantera was regularly doing week long stays at a local metal club we had here in my town in the 80s. This was not only the "Glam era" but the covers era, too. Just imagine Pantera playing Van Halen, Jump. 😳 Well, they did and it was amazing. When they came to town. That club would be packed all week that they were there. And it was a huge club. Built from a warehouse. All of the local metal musicians would go to check them out. Everyone was a fan. Even back then, Dime, well he was Diamond then, was a mind blowing guitarist. And they all were the nicest guys. Phil gave me the best touring advice when I asked him his opinion. And it helped me make the right decision.

18 years already... damn. I still remember my shock, I couldn't believe the news. RIP

[TheHamdog]

Pantera are still unmatched to this day and I feel like there will never be anything as good as this ever again.

[benbjamun]

I always go back to Dimes guitar clinic from way back in the day. It’s still absolutely insane

[shredbacca]

the solo to domination and floods always gives me chill/goosebumps everytime i hear it

[whyismynametaken]

I love these kinds of breakdowns. I think too many people go for a tone that sounds good alone, but sounds too muddy with a full band. I think this and the early black sabbath recordings are a great example of this.

[ZeusPeen]

The solo in It Makes Them Disappear is my favorite Dime solo. Sick AF

[justingoulet]

Pure power feeling technically amazing and to pick my favorite song is hard. I love so many The master of metal. R.I.P. The Legacy will live on

[bolland]

No one can replace Dime, but I think Zakk is the only one qualified for the job of filling in, and he's killing it so far! It's actually really cool to hear the bits where he embellishes a bit, trading the signature Dime squeals for the signature Zakk pinch harmonics. I think that's a testament to how great both of these guys are, in that no one can match Dimes sound and style, but it still sounds like Pantera when Zakk is playing, even though it also still sounds like Zakk, if that makes sense, lol. Kinda makes you wonder what a new Pantera album would sound like with Zakk and Charlie behind the wheel...
