Pantera as you could probablly have guessed is my favorite band I was inspired to play guitar because of Dime and my entire musical career is dedicated to him. I LOVE YOU DIME! 1.Pantera 2.Metallica 3.Megadeth 4.Black Label Society 5.Slayer and the next few are stuff like anthrax and C.O.B. of course and you know stuff to that effect. * NOTE because there was some confusion as to whether I knew whether he was dead or not I did and that was the point of most of my ranting here.
