every metal group of the end of 90's should thank Dime.

Great words Jonathan. People stop saying shit about Korn. Korn is a great Metal band. Like Davis said, "If it wasn't for Pantera and Dimebag. There wouldn't be Korn and some of the bands today.

First three Korn albums are awesome.  I remember the night after Dime died Munky played a solo at their concert, finally appeasing Dime's request.

[JasonB_]

I knew he was telling the truth when he said he was bitchin at Head and Munky to play solos. I remember several interviews with Dime back then and whenever he was asked about nu-metal his only gripe was no solos. He said he understood and even appreciated sitting on a simple groove and riding it out but he wanted them to grab the higher strings and make them sumbitches squeal and scream! He wasn't dogging them at all, he just wanted the next generations to be proficient. He needn't have worried though- his playing alone will continue to inspire players for generations.

LOL 0:32 "always bitch at munky and head to play guitar solos".  That's hilarious.  I can totally see Dime poking those guys in the ribs about that.

Legend speaking good about another legend, fucking amazing!

Dime and JD, both gifts from heaven...

[JayMiV]

JD's voice is so damn funny but when he sings its so different.

[ZuGrossZuKlein]

If Wayne Static hadn't passed he would have loved to talk about Dime. He dedicated Start A War to that legend.

[josiesweet]

I find it kinda hilarious that JD's talking voice is much more calming and soothing than his singing voice. It cracks me up every time and I don't know why.

say what you want about korn, that first album of theirs can bring the rage and the anger like any metal out there. there's nothing put on about it. it's just honest rawness. although I can see why people rag on them. I'm personally not a fan of most of their stuff but that first album is just pure anger and heaviness. isn't that what heavy metal is all about? 

[amievil]

...couldn't hear him, but I can't believe it has been TEN FUKIN" YEARS!

Time flies, in the Blink of an Eye, Seems like Minutes as the years fly by.

people might not like KoRn but he's got the point here. Thumbs up :)

Respect to jd & korn...R.I.P. Abbot brothers.

[ryanw]

I met dimebag at ridglea theater...ft Worth Texas! R.i.p. dimebag and ridglea! Truly a Kew laid back guy!

[xuxushushu]

Wow and the humble air to JD to go on giving credit where its due, when there’s actually none other that are the sound of Korn — even if one were to try. More people need to be like this.

Dime wasn't only a guitar god in Jonathan's eyes, Dime was a guitar god in God's eyes Himself

[mcaskillthebrightdestroyer]

[jerameychurch]

[jimmyfreeman]

Jon really stepped up in tribute at the last Ozzfest in Dallas (Frisco) in tribute. It was extremely hot as fuck.
