True, Brad Gillis from Night Ranger filled in after Randy was killed and before Jake started

That's what I'm saying. if you beat out George Lynch for (at the time) the best gig in the world...you're pretty damn good.

So true, Ozzy always has the best play for him.

I am a KISS fan. I have a statue of Gene Simmons in a lighted display case. I enjoyed Ace. It was part of my youth as well. All about the flash & show, lol. I was a great time for music.

I can't lie, I love all metal & rock...for the exception of Nickelback & a few more modern day pansies who should be put to painful death.

Classically trained guitarists are what I love, though.

Dimebag did some great interviews while he was alive.

Damnit, I miss Pantera.

If I was going to listen to someone just for the guitar playing it would be either Hendrix, or Stevie Ray Vaughn.

I'm also a big fan of Warren Haynes. . .someone who is very UNDER-rated.

Neil Young

Deja Voodoo is one excellent album.

The main reason I miss Pantera and Dime is because I am completely sick and tired of hearing Vinnie and Rita do interviews every other f'ing week. Last night, Vinnie si on Liquid Metal trying to sell a book of pictures of Dime. It's like they use his death to make money.

The other crap I cant stand is how Phil was immediately excommunicated from everything simply because he had a problem with Dime and Vinnie. So, Rex starts playing in Down with Phil and now they dont like him either.

Sorry guys, but Vinnie and Dime (through Rita) killed Pantera. They wanted the mainstream and Phil wanted to play metal. I love Vinnie and Dime, but I'm tired of them getting all the pub

Vinnie Paul sold out hard, but makes a great snare! It's deep as hell!
I really didn't know the difference until I heard it for myself.

Gotta check him out. If you like SRV, you'll like KWS

Cowboys from Hell is still my favorite album although it borrowed a lot of riffs from early Metallica. The only difference is Dime could run circles around Kirk and company all day long.

Far Beyond Driven was my favorite simply because it was heavier than the rest, but hell...give me any Pantera all day and I'm happy
