069: Tribute to Dime

069: Tribute to Dime

I awoke on December 8th and felt a little “off”. It felt heavy. Oppressive. Like a spiritual hangover. And then I remembered why…

16 years before was the day that we would forever mourn the loss of one of THE G.O.A.T.’s of Metal’s current generation: our modern-day Riff Lord that we know and love (and HAIL!) as Dimebag (Diamond) Darrell, or simply: DIME!

DIME was a force to be reckoned with in Metal, he could do it ALL! Killer intros, killer riffs, killer solos…what’s NOT to LIKE!?

ALL Killer, NO Filler! It’s the ONLY way that dude rolled.

So tell your boss you’ll be “meditating” for the next hour or so (technically that’s true), fix yourself a Black Tooth Grin (or eight; whatever feels right for you), slice & dice & roll another bowl of your favorite relaxer (because why wouldn’t you?) and JOIN US for this edition of Metal Nerdery’s Memorable Moments in Metal with DIME as we listen back to some of the highlights from his career with Pantera and discuss some of our favorite moments of “Power Metal Magic” (sorry. Okay, I’ll turn it off now…) from our favorite thrashtastical power groove shredder from Texas.
