The guitar giant honors his dear friend Dimebag Darrell with customized Warhammers mirroring the paint job on Dime's Dean from Hell ML.
The ’90s was a very peculiar musical decade. It entered with L.A.’s party-time hair metal and concluded with the rise of Nu metal, boy bands, and the real Slim Shady. In between those bookends saw the maturation of Metallica, a cold front moved in from the Pacific Northwest with dark clouds of morose and menace, gangsta rap from the coasts flooded the heartland and suburbs, and punk went pop with big hitters from Green Day, Offspring, and Blink 182. But Pantera proudly flew the flag of metal. Those Cowboys from Hell were Phil Anselmo (vocals), Darrell “Dimebag” Abbott (guitar), Rex Brown (bass), and Vinnie Paul Abbott (drums). They took chances and took no prisoners all while having the time of their lives.
They were originally a glam metal band fronted by Terry Glaze. That lineup put out three albums and tirelessly worked the Texas club circuit from 1981 to 1986. They replaced Glaze with New Orleans cat Phil Anselmo who continued the falsetto tradition but made the band more Priest than Stryper. They released Power Metal in 1988 with latex-laced riffs before trading the Sunset Strip for the mosh pit when they released 1990’s breakthrough marauding Cowboys from Hell. And things completely clicked for them when they chiseled out their core sound with 1992’s Vulgar Display of Power that unleashed power-groove, annihilation anthems “Mouth for War,” “Walk,” “This Love,” and “Fucking Hostile.” That set the tone for the rest of the decade and everyone else in metal was playing catch up.
When Metallica went Load and Reload, they went fiercer and forceful with 1994’s Far Beyond Driven (earning them a No. 1 record on Billboard 200). While Reznor and Manson explored techno, dissonance, and industrial sounds, the four metalheads went darker and harder with down-tuned guitars and even faster tempos creating 1996’s The Great Southern Trendkill. And as Slayer tried Nu metal with Diabolus in Musica, Pantera said hold my Crown Royal and doubled down on their demolition with 2000’s Reinventing the Steel.
Bands can burn out and friendships can become more grating than gratifying. Anselmo and Brown continued exploring their side gig with Down (started in the mid-’90s in between Pantera albums and tours) and the idle Abbott Brothers started Damageplan. A war of words filled magazine covers and airwaves making the divide wider. Then, on December 8th, 2004, while performing with Damageplan at Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio, the unthinkable, agonizing, and gut-wrenching onstage murder of Dimebag occurred. (This horrific date was exactly 24 years after the shocking loss of John Lennon.) And in 2018 his brother Vinnie Paul succumbed to coronary artery disease. The idea of Pantera ever seeing the stage, in any form, seemed impossible.
But remaining members Rex Brown and Phil Anselmo tossed around the idea of finding friends to fill in for the Abbott brothers. There are indications they had a list, but anyone who knew anything about Pantera, and especially Dime, would bet their last dollar that Zakk Wylde was the only right option. And Charlie Benante of Anthrax made so many cameos in Pantera’s collection of Vulgar Videos home movies that he was the prime candidate for Vinnie Paul’s throne.
Brown has gone through so much gear. He’s lost amps and donated basses to charity. He’s fostered many fruitful friendships with companies that’s resulted in signature wares for war. His latest partnership has him riding high on a pair of namesake Thunderbirds dressed in black and gold. He still tours with old Spectors who feel like home (if home was a thunderstorm). He’s got a proper pedalboard and rack gear that’s been routed through a RJM switcher (first time ever). And he and tech Bobby Landgraf (also guitar player in Honky and Down for Down IV - Part II) detail the whole chain of tonal command. Then we have a blast chatting with Zakk Wylde who covers his toolbox of Warhammers and Master 100 heads. He ponders what it must’ve been like to have been Eddie Van Halen or Randy Rhoads who toured with their iconic instruments and not having any backups! And then his longtime tech Stephen Murillo goes over his rack gear that includes three pieces from Dimebag Darrell’s original Pantera rig.

The lightning fiddle is absolutely incredible.
I love how in Zack's rig he has a ton of his heads but still has one Marshall head. I'm willing to bet good money that the Marshall is the one that's mic'd and you hear. Lol.
Oh he wants to make money? Weird. Why would anybody want to eat and pay their bills?
@@Ottophil Not saying that at all brother. I just found it weird that he had one vintage Marshall amongst 3 of his own heads. I have a hard time believing that Marshall is a backup. If he's going to make amps he should at least be able to make one better or as good as the Marshall he is copying. Even if he has a custom-made one that is better than the ones he is selling to the public. I just found it to be an extremely telling sight. Even if he is using the Marshall for sure why would you allow that to be seen in a Rig Rundown?? It would have been very easy to just pull it out of the shot and replace it with one of his own. Baffling. And for me, I won't buy one of his heads knowing he doesn't even totally rely upon them. I think he knows his personal Gibsons and Marshall amps are superior to his products. We are talking about a guy that could easily have custom-made amps and no one would know the difference as long as the outside still looked like his amp. Makes me think that his guitars are a custom-made version. Ones that are much superior to the ones the public can buy. And that's fine. I'm sure most artist models are built that way for the actual player. Especially players that are using Epiphones signatures live.
His Wylde amp Is a Marshall, basically
Amazing guitar! EMG's are good, but I really wish Zakk would give passive pickups a try, maybe even a dimebucker in his dimebolt warhammer. Would really bring the Pantera tone & sound dynamics to _A New Level_ .
Yeah, he should be using Dime's exact gear and rig. I mean it is a tribute not his own band. I'm sure there are tons of his backups in storage too.
@@captainkirk70 Agreed. Constructively criticizing here, I hope Zakk see's this. I get wanting to use your own gear, but the guitar sound in the tribute just seems out of place. He uses his own amps which are a clone of the JCM800, a warm tube rock amp which needs a lot of help to get in metal territory. He uses is ZW Overdrive to make up for that. It gets close, but not near enough. You can hear it especially when he tries to get the Dime squeals and harmonics in, they don't ring out. Then, add in the compression from active EMG pickups and you get this "soup" of sound that seems quite off-putting for a PanterA tone. Boost the mids and highs a bit more too.
Zakk is already using some of Dime's actual gear like the Flanger Doubler and an Aphex (two staples of the Dime tone), in the effects loop. If he would just change up the front end by passive pickups and imho, one of Dimes solid state amps. Using a RG100ES or a Century 200 would complete the tone. Zakk has the chops, it's a shame to not hear the sound come out like it could.
I appreciate this tribute more than I can say, no hate here at all, but changing a few very simple, but important tonal aspects would bring it straight VULGAR. PanterA and BLS fan forever.🤘
@@terminalvelocity4858 Agreed. It's just weird to see one Marshall amongst his 4 other amps. Doesn't seem like he would use it as a backup. I haven't tried his gear but I believe it's all made overseas? I've seen him use his Gibson too after his line came out. Weird that I consider him the king of pinch harmonics but he isn't getting Dime's sound. I really do love the tribute and that's after seeing the real Pantera many times. Surprised he isn't just going all out for the Dime sound. Charlie gets Vinny's sound right to my ears. I haven't seen the tribute live though. What pickups did Dime use before he got his own?
Emg should make a rail pick up without the covers (basically the 81 with the rails but in the style of the emg retro) and Zakk can put it on his st dime tribute war hammer so mimic a dimebucker
Lace Sensor are making alot of great metal pickups these days. He could go that route if he still wants active. They make custom builds for artists all the time. I'm sure they would be up to the task and stoked to do it.
@@captainkirk70I didn’t know they make actives now
Where is the dean razorback bullseye ?
At home..but yeah he should have brought it out
Zakk have perfected the SG-Flying V shape with warhammer. I've seen gibson version, I've seen Dean version, but imho the wylde audio version is the best version of them all.
It's beautiful Zakk
You know your a genius you greatest fan
That's some light Ebony on the bolt.
Zakk is one of the great guitar players
I love Zakk just as Dime loved Zakk and respected him. I think his the perfect fit.
Because there's only one Dimebag and Dime doesn't wanna see Zakk duplicate what his already done. Dime loved to guitar battle just ask Alapeno Ward who battle Dimebag on regular back in the day at the after par😊tys after there shows together with Pantera and SkrapIron they'd be at the after party . Set there amps facing one another and play this game called "You show me yours and I'll show you mine."
Riff after riff back and forth til morning light.
I would jump at hate seeing Zakk play note for note . It's cool watching them put there own spin on it. Thats what real original guitarist do. That's what Dimebag did with Eddie van halens solos .
Zakk if you see this, please let us have retail runsof all these, please sir. I'll take one of the balsawood ones
Interesting and different 🤔 .. Zach should play a Washburn dime I think 🤔
Zakks missing Dimes favorite Confederate Flag Design.
Yesssss
Pantera Tribute band.
Agreed!!! I can’t believe how many people are digging this nonsense! Like, if miraculously Dime and Vin came back, you think they would be ok with all this?! After Vinnie said adamantly several times that since his brother passed Pantera would NEVER happen again? What’s changed? Idk it’s bizarre to me and I agree, tribute band, and should’ve been named accordingly
Again, Zakk needs to use V head versions of his warhammers on the Pantera tours.
He won't tour with the dimebag guitar that dime himself gave. Too precious 😂 he only have 3 of them.
@@BoyAditya No, I mean have his warhammer guitars custom made with some version of a V head like Darrell's guitars. Or put Washburn necks on those Warhammer bodies...
@@BoyAditya I edited it to be more specific 😂
Completely off topic here, but does anyone know what boots he is wearing?
Frank's Boots. They're insanely expensive.
@@MorbidFerrisWheel Thank ya, kindly.
I have no clue what he was talking about very hard to follow for me
Rambling Andy
zakk doesnt stop talking
it should sound SLAMMIN
Insane is Jimmy Page's guits touring the world. Old school stands and all
Dude is standing way too close to that NORSE DRAGON WARHAMMER! ☠️
?
Imagine this:
Eddie Van Halen Dies, Sammy Hagar starts a Van Halen tribute band named "Van Halen", with bassist Michael Anthony. Without the brothers...it just never feels right to me. No matter how y'all explain it.
They’re not trying to replace anyone. Not a reformation. It’s brothers paying tribute to brothers and keeping the Legacy alive. I’ve seen Pantera multiple times; these guys have the live “sound” dialed in, which is good for fans and the younger gen to experience, imo
dude bros
The paint doesn't look as cool though
Making that money on dimes name! Way to keep that memory alive!
You don’t have a clue do you?
@@tommilitello198 apparently more than you do!
Pantera is a family business. Money goes to the family, including the Abbotts. Not to mention, they’re working their asses off
@@HereXEG Why do you care? Jealous?
@@n.o.d6181 I hate to tell you but the Abbots are all dead.
Not my thing per se, but they're okay for him.
Vinnie said several times that Pantera would never happen again after DIME passed. Since we lost Vin suddenly, what has changed to make them think it’s cool to do all this? More proof we’re in an alternate universe…all due respect…🤨💔
I've been a fan of Zakk's playing for a long time, but goddamn those are some ugly guitars
As much as I love Zakk I just don’t feel he was the right choice for this Pantera tribute. Ola Englund would be the perfect choice in my opinion. Because he would have used dimes guitars and his Randall solid state heads. Plus he would have played much more accurately in terms of the songs. Again just my opinion. Will always love Zakk🤘🤘🤘
Zakk knew Dimebag and Pantera. I like Ola Englund but people need to remove the flower glasses from his youtube channel, zakk is obviously the correct guy for this job, maybe Ola is 2nd
Love Ola, but if someone other than Zakk (Dimes best friend), Atilla Voros or Kenny Giron would be hands down the right guys for the job. Look them up.
@@efwfew Attila is definitely second, only because Zakk is family
We all love Ola, but so much about this gig with Pantera is the attitude and the presence and having boots and balls big enough to fill Dime's role. There's also it being super fitting that Zakk and Dime were friends, and so it feels right on that front. Loads of top quality guitarists could have emulated Dime's tone better, or played his solos note perfect, but I don't think they wanted a perfect imitator, they wanted someone who could hang and deliver as one of the Cowboys from Hell, and Zakk is that dude in spades. That's how it is in my mind anyway.
Zakk just using this to sell his ugly ass guitars
I love zakk.
But and I do get what he’s saying about the Big Mac analogy.
But McDonald’s in Asian (especially Japan) is NOT the same as McDonald’s in America. Japanese and Korean McDonald’s fucking spanks. American McDonald’s is trash.
Dude has a bit of a god complex.
Square inlays suck
Not a fan of him milking Dime for everything he cant see, hear and touch.
Paying respect to a close friend is not milking slick
Fine line between paying respects to a friend and selling a product in his name.
@@Egolibrium kids today don’t know of Dime’s Prowess. Keeping his name out there is fine and now that Dean can’t make his signature schecter might take it
@@Egolibrium These arent for sale?
@@vincemcman4086 yet
Let’s just keep milking his dead body for cash…also the guitar looks horrible 🤮🤮🤮
Your name implies you like Ibanez…..
And not a single note was played.
Yes there was. I gotchu.
ruclips.net/video/RoZnoC0Riqk/видео.html
I feel you, but it's just a clip from the Pantera rig rundown ....and there is a bit of him playing the "Floods" solo, though they're talking over it
Search "Pantera "Floods" Soundcheck Jam in Memphis". Same channel, same day.
First!
I guarantee Zack cant fill dimes shoes not even close to dime
No one’s saying that he’s doing that, he’s in the place where Dime was and he’s the guy that fills the most of Dime’s shoes.
I'll take that bet now I miss dime no doubt ,there's only one guitarist in Rick who can be called better than zakk John 5 maybe could be bout same to in a lot of eyes zakks man period
I get the purpose behind the design. But that is one of the ugliest guitars ive ever laid eyes on.
How's the money Zakk? 😅 Dime is rolling in his grave.
🤘🔥🤘
