    Can it really be six years already? Time flies.

    I hope Nathan Gale is getting buttraped in hell by Satan himself.

    Why don't we have a forum named after him here? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I've a lot to say on this but i don't think a thread like this is the place


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker


    Ha ha what are the chances? Two Dime threads started at the exact same time - 00:15.

    Proves the man is/was a ****ing legend because there we were biding our time til after 12!!

    Still can remember the day he died :( Was a horrible day to say the least.

    Never will we see someone like him again and its such a fcuking shame how it all happened.

    RIP you legend.

    RIP. Think I'll put on Vulgar Display now.

    One of my favourite guitarists of all time... But why do we need a new thread every year?

    We dont need one per say, but if someone feels that they want him to be remembered, then why not? It's just a few dots on the screen to pay tribute the best metal guitarist of all time in my opinion, and I still am sad that we will not be hearing any more of the music he had to offer...

    Great guitarist and great person.

    RIP Dime.

    I've merged the two threads now. RIP Dimebag.

    John Lennon is 30 years dead today,was infinitly more influential but doesnt get a mention.Dont get me wrong,I always have been and always will be a huge fan of Dimes work but a bit of perspective goes a long way.

    This reminds me of the chatroom that Dean Guitars set up in the days after Dimebags death. It had a video player with a lot of unseen home footage and performances, but the one clip that stuck with me was Dimebag playing the outro riff of Floods on stage and the video was dated '88 or '89. Just thought it was awesome that he had that riff for so long before using it.

    Thank you very much, it's been six years since I saw this, I had a look around a few years ago with no luck and hadn't come across me to look for it again since.

    Exactly.

    Perspective of what forum were in! Rock & Metal!


    John Lennon is that way --->

    NoQuarter already posted what I was going to write but I might as well repeat it. This is the Rock & Metal forum. I'm sure everyone here misses John Lennon too but as metal fans we're going to be closer to Dimebag and his music. Outside of the metal community Dimebag's death hardly registered whereas everyone with any interest in music knows who John Lennon was.

    I'm sure there will be a thread in the general music forum for John Lennon's death. What kind of reaction do you think someone posting "I'm a huge fan of John Lennon but why doesn't Dimebag Darrell get a mention?" would get on there?

    Every year...

    It wasnt my intention to cause any offence and if I have done then I apologise.I was merely pointing out that a bona fide musical icon also died on this day.He was much more influential when it came to changing the face of guitar based music than most musicians could ever hope to be.I just felt he deserved a mention on a forum that he helped create,thats all.Again,apologies if i caused any offence. :)

    I can picture it now; "What's a Dimebag?"

    Anyway, RIP Dime, great guitarist indeed.

    Not quite everyone here ;)

    While I would never have wished for John Lennon to have been murdered, I bloody hate his solo stuff, and that bloody wife of his......:mad::mad::mad:


    Plus when I say to anyone in the real world that I don't like John Lennon, I tend to get funny looks because I still have a fair bit of my scouse accent.:)


    But I would defo agree with you that Dimebag would be a bigger loss to a lot of people's musical world than Lennon was, he certainly is in my musical world, but I am sure that Lennon and his music will be celebrated at this time by his legion of fans as well.

    Well they are, and what with me being a bit of a mongrel, I am different to regular scousers. :D



    Time to break out something else I cannot say outside of Liverpool without being met by peels of laughter.



    Calm down la, calm down. :p

    A bit more civilised on this thread than http://www.metalireland.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=45975 here..

    RIP Dime..


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,065 ✭✭✭✭Malice


    I gave up on MetalIreland a long time ago and I'm not surprised to see the quality of discussion on there is about the level I expected before I clicked on that thread. I'm glad that site exists though because it probably keeps the plonker quota on this forum down :).


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,632 ✭✭✭NoQuarter


    Lets all get together for tea and talk about john and darrell!!
