Anyway back on topic ....here's a small part of Robb Flynn's statement about Dimebag that made me smile, it gives you an idea on the kind of guy he was....
"....So the next day I go up to him and say "Hey man, do you remember what you
did to my guitar last night?" He's like "Uh... refresh my memory"... so I
say, "You... uh... smashed the neck in half"... to which he says "No ****
dude?! I'll take care of you, no problem, don't worry!" He then had his
tour manager give us TWICE as much money as it would cost to replace /
repair the neck. And then a week later, while we're ON STAGE in Chicago, he comes out,
and brings both Logan and I brand new, top-of-the-line Dimebag Darrell
signature guitars - these things were worth probably 2500 dollars each - and
he whispers in my ear, "Sorry about the neck, Carjacker" (a nickname he had
for me)... I mean, COME ON!?
The next time we saw him, he played us some "just finished" mixes for the
then-unreleased "Reinventing The Steel" record at he and Vinnie's Club. We
were all worshipping. We drank shitloads, and he even rocked on the vodka
with us, rather than the whiskey, just 'cause he remembered that The Head
like vodka. A week later I get a package at our hotel in Pittsburg... he
had sent 4 one-liter bottles of expensive-ass Ketel One vodka, all the way
from Texas, with a note that read "Carjacker, it was killer hanging out with
you the other night. Remember, it's Goddamn Electric! -Your brother Dime".
That's the type of guy he was, such a giving person. 200 bucks worth of
vodka? Bah, no problem
