Last week I bought “Get Thrashed: The Story Of Thrash Metal“. I had a problem with the DVD though. It was unbalanced or something. It wouldn’t play correctly in a standard DVD player, but would play fine in my Laptop. I took it back to exchange it for another copy today, but they were all out. Instead they gave me credit and let me exchange it for something else so I found the new Dimebag Darrell book He Came To Rock.
The book also came with Dimevision Vol. 1. The book is great and is full of pictures of Dime, …read more

In the first part of this article I talked about bands that are hated because they changed styles or just are not really accepted by a lot of metal fans in the community of the huge dysfunctional family we call Heavy Metal. Now I’m going to talk about some of the Metal stars that somewhere along the line thought that they are better than other people and look down upon people, both fans and other bands as peasants in their kingdom of fame. Some of the stars become cocky and self righteous douche bags. Now lets have a little …read more

Damn, it’s been over three years and every other day we are still seeing news about Dimebag’s death and Rita Haney bitchin about Phil Anselmo and trying to point fingers for his murder. Enough of all this “He Said-She Said” BullShit already. You can call Phil what you want, you can blame anyone you please but it’s still not going to bring your boyfriend back, Rita. We would ALL like to believe that this is all a bad dream…but it’s not. Dimebag is gone and it’s time to move on.
We all say shit we regret every now and then and …read more

Here are a few excerpts from an interview with Rita Haney (Dimebag Darrell’s ex-girlfriend) and Vinnie Paul (If you don’t know who Vinnie Paul is then you shouldn’t be here). Anyway It came out of Metal Hammer’s January Issue. Three years later you’d think people would stop asking the same damn questions to the same people.
Metal Hammer: Do you think that had Darrell not been murdered that he and Vinnie might have eventually made their peace with Phil, and PANTERA might have gotten back together?

Yep, the time draws closer to Decemeber 8th. It’s hard to believe it’s been almost three years already. As you know Dimebag tributes, article and interviews are going to start crawling out of the wood work. I figured I’d knock mine out early by posting this older interview (November) with Dime’s former girlfriend “Rockin Rita”. Here are a few excerpts, you can read the entire interview at Metalmonthly.com
On Phil Anselmo:
Metal Monthly: Your Thoughts on Phil, is he a part of the problem or part of the solution?
Rita: Hahaha! He’s not our problem anymore! But seriously, I think people have …read more
