[heavymetal929292]

Dimebag - The Metal Jesus. Literally.

[Ravenlord187]

the 4 of you that disliked this whoever you are. I hate you.

[oneaware]

November 4, 2004, was the last I saw of Brother Dime.  Damageplan doing a hometown show.... unforgettable.

[dimerocks123]

33 pics in this where he's sporting his favorite color haha CAMO

[oneaware]

This is great, a gem. Where did you find it?

[Ansonius77]

@oneaware this is actually from an Ace Frehley tribute CD called Spacewalk

[oneaware]

@Ansonius77 Awesome. Freheley did write some killer stuff. It all makes sense now. Thanks.

[bhoward129]

@3:42 an icon...nuff said RIP BROTHER DIME

[Misa9907]

Beautiful Interpretation... Wonderfull... R.I.P. Dimebag Darrel.

[redfishradical]

Hey Rakka whatever...a vocabulary is a terrible thing to waste...I'm just saying... Oh, and great cover/tribute. A nice re-interpretation. He stayed true to it while putting his own stamp on it. Thanks for sharing. Peace!

[redfishradical]

Hey Rakka whatever...a vocabulary is a terrible thing to waste...I'm just saying...

[paulofaccio]

Thanks for sharing it Bro

[swlisman]

This is the first time I've heard Dimebag's version of Fractured Mirror and I have to say he did a most awesome job!

[lvanciel]

i heard this on liquid metal the night before last when it was labeled Diamond Darrell i was like DIMEBAG omg and i just had to listen to it again and mellow out

[88SuperTrooper]

There are quite a few guitarist who have covered this. Good song to cover. I like both John 5's and Dime's cover.

[dimebagDARRELL187]

i thought this was a john 5 song cus i got in allbum and this is on it

[pianojessica2000]

Abbott once said in a Guitar World interview that if there was no Ace Frehley, there would have been no "Dimebag" Darrell - he even had a tattoo of the "KISS" guitarist on his chest. Ace signed the tattoo in pen ink upon meeting him, at Dimebag's request, and then the autograph was painstakingly tattooed over soon after, so as never to be washed off.

[rakkamarakka]

some of you dipshits doesnt seem to understand, that this tribute(and song) which made dimebag dimebag are one of the pieces which made him so fcking great at the things he was great at... thing for yourself. can you do great songs without somekind of innovation from some1 other, or can you or do you even start a sport without someones cheering and kicking your ass to do that. That makes people to be the best they are. Someones idoling and something to aim at!! think fuckers think

[rakkamarakka]

you fucking dipshits seem to not understand that this

tribute from dime to his idol, to the people who made dimebag to be what he was!

[Griffillionaire]

I got a fucking boner! GODDAMN.

Dime you rock !

[Griffillionaire]

This song kicks ass. God bless whoever is playing it! ... o wait :)

[LeopoldLoewe999]

What a song

[metallicaguyanddude]

This is the prefect Dimebag honor made me cry!

[dankspanktank]

5:40.... fucking awesome

[nothadnotbad]

probably got shot for ruining aces perfect song. but no they say it was the breakup. his version tore aces song to bits and sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! god bless dimebag but your version fucking sucks!

[ThemFlames]

@nothadnotbad you mad? its a reason why its called a cover and not an a original...

[nothadnotbad]

@ThemFlames its one thing to make a cover...it's another thing to disrespect your idol!

[ThemFlames]

@nothadnotbad how did he do that? this cover was awesome..

[metallikat123]

And its 7 fucking years now. God rest, Dime, and be ready to play armageddon

[metallikat123]

A masterful tribute.

[35Yankeeboy]

Bad ass!

[nickyoung012]

I bet u he played this over and over till he fuckin nailed every note the way he wanted

Thats Respect

Walk whattya say

[RaidoTUBE]

Yea,, true.. Kisses.K

[787mysterio]

they say the good die young ,this isn't the case with the sick fuck that killed dimebag!

he was the greatest guitarist ever ,bonn scott, cliff burton,jimmi hendrix ,john bonham ,dimebag darrell

[samuelc93]

where the fuck can i find this?!?

Isit on any albums i dont know about??

[redmoonthir13en]

@samuelc93

It's on "Spacewalk: A Tribute to Ace Frehley"

you can find it on Amazon

[duderocker24]

Killer version of the song! By late, great Dime B) I swear, he shreds like no other!

[MVLINEMAN]

WOOOW, the way the whammy pedal is used in the song is fucking amazing, Leave it up to Dime

[XIPH0S707]

6 years man, we miss you Dimebag.

[MrAlejandrummer]

@XIPH0S707 a big one on the music and a giant in the METAL!!! Never forget you Dimebag \m/

[XIPH0S707]

@MrAlejandrummer I agree!

[klistarf]

I'm so glad that Dime chose to cover this song! It is possibly my fave (of SOOOO many) Ace track(s)! The guy did an awesome song, awesome justice! Let's not forget the majestic Vinnie Paul, who rocked the 'kit on this track, either! Brother's in arms... We miss you, Dime... \m/

[alexx33]

WHOA+YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[CodySchofield]

why have i never heard this before!?

[Hellozan11]

Amazing...

[JTea808]

Til the day I die.

[saintrico]

A very cool tribute. Fractured Mirror has always been a favorite of mine. It's the perfect tribute to a guy who really loved Ace.

[hitbyparkedcar1]

this is awesome.

[dontanner232]

One of a Kind. He rocked all the way to the grave.

[666DeanFromHell666]

This music and those pictures combined invoke a great degree of anger in me, i don't understand why another human being would wan't to take dime's life, it sickens me to the point of hate, hate for the human race, we are too fucked up as a species to deserve people like dime.

R.I.P Dime.

[BigJames666]

@666DeanFromHell666 your a fucking legend man

[shred5]

@666DeanFromHell666, they should take the guy who shot Dime and bring him back to life just so we can kill him again, and repeat for all eternity. What a piece of shit!

[zakke72]

what a great song, Ace`s best instrumental and this version is cool also. Great tribute.

[pruehalliwellp3]

I think the same, Dimebag you are GREAT and forever with us!

[hershysquirts187]

i still miss dime very much. 4 dislikes. who ever hit dislike. shame on you.

[TheRevolutionnow]

putain le solo est une tuerie! j'adore quand il monte dans les aigues!

[guitarfone]

the main guitar part matches you cant kill rock and roll by the ozz man

[HawkBasham]

@guitarfone Don't you mean You Can't Kill Rock and Roll matches this?

[cartert2]

Cool version of this song but I like Aces better. This would have been better if the solo at 5:44 - 6:11 been omitted. It breaks the flow of the song and does not complement the melody but its just 25 seconds in an otherwise great version.

[buddablazer1]

@cartert2 sounds like zakk wilde the final solo

[tmm10811]

@cartert2 dude what-the-fuck ever...omitt my ass

[dimerocks123]

dimes version is better in my opinion

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

who is doing the song?

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

is this the original ace frehley song?

Dimebag LOVED Ace!!!!!]

they even got interviewed together.

[musicisourlife7880]

Dimebag Darrell is forever young.....

[NicoleaKristaPalooza]

he didn't sample the music

[midnightarmy]

plus he just sampled most of it

[midnightarmy]

Ace did it better

[irishcowboys]

@midnightarmy wrong.

[jimmygrunts]

EPIC! I WISH EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT THIS

[Burningchromosome]

I found this last night and I was so blown away, the song had me in tears,I remember Ace's version but forgot until I saw it on here...it reaches so far back when I was a boy. The fact that Darrell is gone did not help matters either....

[martinp0rras]

viva la DIME!!

[THECLARENCES]

Aamzing!

xoxo

The Clarences

[pubilla6]

great cover of kiss

dimebag i miss you!!

[turyon]

The best instrumental cover i´ve ever heard.This is the most reassuring prove that we lost one of the biggest heavy guitar player of all times...

R.I.P. Dimebag,

We miss you bro´

[DimebagRIPCFH]

Dime, we all love you man

[JTea808]

FOREVER!

[Fuct20]

i love this song, dimebag was a guitar god and he is missed. R.I.P. dime

[lancetop]

I've been listening to this several times a day, for the past few days. What a fantastic performance by Dimebag. He turned Ace's HEAVY METAL song with thundering power chords, stunning intensity, and unforgiving rawness into something SWEET> let me repeat--Dimebag turned Ace's heavy metal classic into a song of SWEETNESS. No easy feat. Dimebag forever.

[newkey1971]

woooow!!! in my heart forever!!!! great song and ACE rules!!!! DARRELL is fantastic!!!!!

[axlfied123]

dude i totally noticed that rr riff!!

[SpicyTaco29]

W00t!!! Ace and Dimebag! Hell Ya!

[3yumyum3]

like it, but dont love it. i just think ace made it more full. i'd give this 4 stars

[lancetop]

Ohmigod this is a fabulous cover of Fractured Mirror. Ace is god. And Dimebag is an angel. Rest in peace, we love you always Dimebag. Your brother, Lance

[thunderstruck665]

What a great cover and tribute to Dimebag's idol, the ONE AND ONLY Space Ace. Accept NO frauds, imitations or couterfeits!

[whofan2753]

RIP Dimebag

[larrydouglas72]

Dime was/is a god. He would've been 43 yesterday; Aug 20. I can't believe it's been almost 5 years since he died. A true god amongst men. See you in Heaven.......

[JTea808]

Saw the Mayhem Festival at Blossom in Ohio and we still do have the most redneck fucked up metal fans on the planet. Thank whatever we still have Slayer. Beers were 10 fucking dollars!

[aalsatx]

Great version no doubt, Dimebag covering Ace. But has anyone noticed its the same riff that Randy Rhodes does in You cant Kill Rock and Roll.

Thank you Ace Frehley

[jackschmoke08]

as the other guy mention's Ace's album predates way before ozzy's!

true though!

[Gsimmons9]

Absolutely amazing version

[sigmiester]

great song great tribute

[JTea808]

the reason i bought a washburn in the beginning. but what does it really matter? he is the ultimate shredder period. the best. and what a cool mother fucking dude. he makes me feel good about myself when i hear his work. where would metal be if this guy never existed?

[zzzpivotzzz]

best cover ever

[DimebagSK46]

Dimebag Darrell was, and still is my all-time hero. why do you think my nickname is dimebag? my names darrell!

[j0rgazmi]

me 2 dime is best:P! R.I.P!

[iliketoeathumanshit]

dime will always be my favorite guitarist

[disincorpor8]

hell fuckin yeah!! that video did dime justice bro. we miss him so much!!

[blizzarddiaryozzy]

Dimebag was more in love with guitar than he was with life, and Ace Frehley was his God, his inspiration!

This is amazing!

[mka800]

Ace probably got more guitar players into the instrument than any other guitarist. Ace played shit that human beings could understand and rock out to. He is the most underrated guitarist in history and it's easy to see why Dime loved him. RIP Dime, Rock On, Ace!

[renzzo666]

I agree, Ace is very underrated, he's a great musician, better than many others who just sell what people wants to hear, Ace was also the reason 4 me to pick up a guitar, he's my hero, my idol. I want to make a good tribute with my guitar, but first I want to buy a better camera... hehe, anyway, Ace is the man!!

[mka800]

I hope you get a really nice camera and make a good tribute to Ace. If you're an Ace fan, I know your heart will be in it. And you're right - Ace played what he felt was the coolest thing to play and didn't kiss record companies asses. He was one of the greatest, and KISS isn't the same without him.

[dpixler1005]

@mka800  AMEN bro!!!

[blizzarddiaryozzy]

@mka800

You couldn't have said it better!

[brad9311]

didnt dimebag get ace frehley to sign his leg and he got it tattooed over?

[device222000]

Dimebag loved Ace, as all of us do.. Ace was the reason so many guitarist were born... including myself... dimebag was buried in a Kiss coffin, maybe the only good thing gene simmons has ever done...

[danpan311]

wow, why is gene a dick? i love ace,always have,it seems to me him and ace are not like the best of friends,right? is he also buried with eddie van halens guitar ?

[roost24]

What a tragedy that was.

[rezinjun420]

dimebag. we miss you brother.

thats all there is to say.

we miss you man.

we miss you.

[MachineGunMolly73]

A moving tribute to a truly underrated rock guitarist & a man who never deserved such a tragic, destructive end to his short life. Dimebag was 'one of the lads' & his memory will forever live on.

[kaosproductions666]

Por un lado que bien que murio Dimbag... Se que estaria muy jodido viendo lo que le ha pasado a la musica y al mundo en los ultimos cinco años, se fue a tiempo dejando un legado enorme de musica para Hombres... Hell Yeah!!!!

[DanWA73]

i haven't followed pantera that much, but do have a have a few favorite songs by them...so i may sound kinda stoopid here, but did he die from again?

[kapalen]

bullets. Bullets killed Dimebag darrell

[newkey1971]

exelent!!! he lives in my heart forever

[JTea808]

I hope these responses are not to my posting.. Jagrmeister for the the master of riff, squeal, and chunk.

[gowdo1]

man 4 years dimebag and we still cnt get ova yu it woz such a shame

man i woz at slipknot on the anniversary of his death and slipknot mentioned man i thought i woz gonna cry same as every other metal fan in tht place

DIMEBAG UR MISSED MAN DIMEBAG FTW!!!!!!!

RIP DUDE!!!!!!!!

[JTea808]

Only in Ohio. What a bunch of fucking hilljack metal fans we have here in the heartbeat of america.

[Newslei]

What a fucking shame i almost cry when i knew about his dead... may he rest in peace... four years men...

[ironmenz]

Not to mention me reading the entire comment ...duh

[ironmenz]

Might want to check the facts.  Ace put this out in '78. Ozzy didn't put his out til '81. Kinda hard to Steal something that wasn't created yet.

[AnthemForOne]

Killed four years ago tonight. Such a waste. So senseless.

Beautiful tribute to a mesmerizing song.

R.I.P., Dime.

[redmoonthir13en]

Awesome tribute. Dime covering Ace. RIP.

[JTea808]

You can't kill rock and roll was done 3 years after Fractured Mirror you DB.

[indianboy1969]

does anyone notice this riff is from randy rhoads with ozzy on the diary of a madman cd? the song is you cant kill rock n roll!!

[AnthemForOne]

"does anyone notice this riff is from randy rhoads with ozzy on the diary of a madman cd? the song is you cant kill rock n roll!!"

So...Ace Frehley stole a song that Ozzy & Randy Rhoads cowrote while Oz was still a year away from being bounced from Sabbath and Rhoads was still with Quiet Riot? That's one helluva collaboration, and so crafty not to record it until their 2nd album together! Frehley, that thieving time-traveling bastard!

You're not really...well...too knowledgable, are you?

[indianboy1969]

SORRY IM NOT A FAN OF SHITTY KISS!!

[AnthemForOne]

I'm not a fan of a good many things, but I do know if I planned to spout off about someone allegedly ripping off someone else's art, I'd at least check to make sure I DID know WTH I was talking about before I splattered it out there & exposed myself as an ignoramus.

You've made the case, though, that Ozzy & Randy actually ripped off "shitty Kiss" (Frehley solo, actually). Personally, I don't think they sound that similar, but it must be hard for you to swallow.

Thanks for teeing that up.

[BlakkDiamond]

Nobody is a fan of "shitty kiss" because shitty kiss does not exist.

Now if we're talking about AWESOME KISS, I am indeed a fan.

I like this cover, especially the end solo.

[dimewylde639]

"Frehley, that thieving time-traveling bastard!"

hahaha i love it.

[cgardner13]

You're not really...well...too knowledgable, are you?

youre an idiot

[AnthemForOne]

"You're not really...well...too knowledgable, are you?"

"youre an idiot"

I'm the idiot, or the guy who actually had no clue who wrote which song first? Or did you just reply to the wrong post?

Enquiring minds and all...

[piolostanley]

we love you dime!

[southernmisfit]

when did dime do this?

[liquidmermaid]

fuck loved kiss way back in the day and to see dime cover ace is th4e ace in the hole...rip dime always remebered from tee bottom of our hearts dude

[danpan311]

where's Keith Bringle ?

[louisluvsacefrehley]

ace fuckin rocks and this is an awsum tribute I LOVE U DIME AND ACE!!!!! and i didnt pay 4 his autograph lmao

[Trashmetalmilitia]

I love Ace, but hes to arrogant people have to pay money for his autographs:S

[Frizzvisions30]

Brings tears to my eyes this version.I'm sure Ace loves this version.Dime did it proud.God bless his soul.

[synthapete]

This is a really nice song by Ace and it's cool to hear a different sound from Dime. I can't wait until they start releasing his 4-Track recordings!

[iluvacefrehley]

I love this version of Fractured Mirror. I tried to upload a vid with the 6:30 version of the song and UTUBE said it was too big. But we have yours....awesome!!!!

[Andicado]

All great guitarists seem to die its pretty fucked Dimebag, Jimmy Hendrix, Randy Rhoads, Stevie Ray Vaughan thats just a few i can remember off of the top of my head theres probably many more.

[xxxxxxrockxxxxxx]

ace didn't die and he's great

[longwayhome617]

Well......everybody dies lol. I see your point but :P

[KlassicKissFan]

I have always loved this cover! Dime did it justice, and he loved Ace. I sure would have loved to see them do a collaboration together.

[Gsimmons9]

I just cant understand, why would anybody do something like that, the guy paid for the ticket, got thru the security, and just shot him! to this day , i dont understand. he was out of his mind, just like the guy who shot lennon. still cant believe it, think about it , dime is playing, and the matofuko goes and shoots! dime dyied there on the stage , when he was playing for the people, to this day i just dont get it, excuse me

[mcliam20]

were can i get this

[SpaceAceTX]

Cheers from the worlds biggest Ace fan ME!! Lived about 15 min. away grom Dime in DFW, TX he was cool as hell, would see him at Wizards pool hall and he was never too busy to say hi to just regular joe's like me and my buds, also Ace is THE SOLE REASON I picked up the guitar too, not a Les Paul but an RR1, but he was still the inspiration!!

[JeffSpicoli62450]

Ace never got the respect he deserved.

[Burnie66]

vinnie is on the skins for this

[AceFrehley655]

Was it the guy with the Ace Frehley tatoo that was shot on stage?

[dragonhawk73]

a timeless guitar song for an artist who can't or couldn't read sheet music Ace Frehley, even expert Technicians, like Steve Vai love this tune

[SpaceAceTX]

Good post, true! Ace played with his heart!

[DimebagRIPCFH]

damn... even after a few years... still doesn't seem right to look at a pic of such a wonderful dude and think that he's gone...

[tabarnac74]

one of the most brillant song i ever heard!

[KISS4evr]

How did he die?

[atalackofwrds]

He was shot onstage while performing Damageplan.

[DimebagRIPCFH]

by a cowardly little psychopath name nathen gale, who somehow thought Dimebag and pantera copied off of him, saddest part is, even tough she knew he was unstable, gales own mother bought him the gun.

[Burnie66]

after he got kick out of the army for being crazy,id like to shit in her mouth

[AceFrehley105]
