atleast i didnt call him a tool. lol. although it could be the cross between dimebag and nickelback i guess. you'll have to excuse me i take pantera very seriously. dime was and still is my favorite guitarist of all time next to jesper stromblad and bjorn gelotte of in flames.
hell yeah he's awesome but if it wasn't for Jesper there would be no In Flames he formed that band after he quit ceremonial oath cause he wanted to play something a little more melodic and they wouldn't let him. i would hate to think of a life without in flames it makes me sad to think about it every album they'd done is awesome even the new ones. they are my favorite metal band beside Pantera and Meshuggah
you know what would be cool? while they play this song the singer guy could like throw bullets into the crowd signed by Nickelback OR he could throw bullets into the crowd WITH the killer's name on it that would be juicy lol
Fact of the matter is, you're a bunch of sad bastards who have nothing better to do than watch videos of bands you don't even like, and then complain about them. One day you might get laid (who am I kidding?). They didn't rip any fucking solo off you large collection of tools. They got full permission from Vinnie Paul as a tribute to Dimebag - someone they greatly admire. I swear I don't understand how you dipshits remember to breathe.
I do know that but people ACTUALLY think that solo is something Nickelback did. That angers me. Okay so I wont say "ripped off" then... but fact remains, they still blow :)
Why not? Because you're an ignorant tool that can't accept that even people that don't play the same kind of music, also idolise bands like Pantera? Grow up.
um they are saying something and making a point by ending it that way. Its not like saying oh yeah we support this action. Its driving the point their lyrics said home.
listen to the fking solo...doesnt that bring memories of buying ur first pantera album? i dont care what band tribute or any of that shit...sounds good, and thats all i care
To all you haters! LEt's see you bitches do somethign better. It may not be Dime, but at least they give a shit to ATTEMPT to honor him. Stop being bitches!
I'v got to side with the nickel back haters, i don't care that someone gave someone else a "blessing" nickel back is garbage, and yes the fact they had a guest play the solo proves it and it doesn't even fit in the song, they are nothing compared to him. its like if Good Charlot did a tribute to the clash... sorry guys this shit sucks!
fuck all those who think that a band who do a tribute to dime are stupid. id like to see you assholes come up with something better. i dont care who the fuck you are. show some goddamned respect.
The only band i've heard write a song about Dime. He got Vinne's blessing AND a solo from the man him-self. I fyou've read any interviews or listened to thier last record you know that the singer loves pantera. "Becuase of You" has anouther pantera riff in it. I don't give a shit about thier ballads or whatever it is thaqt they play There still a great live band and have my respect.
im not the biggest nickelback fan, but they did a decent job on this tune. im sick of everyone bashing them and saying they're crap. if vinnie paul dug this tune and gave chad kroeger his blessing than thats the only opinion that is relevant. who else should say what a fitting tribute is other than family?
For those of you talking about how much Nickelback sucks and they shouldn't be allowed to 'disgrace' Dime with their 'crappy music,' fuck all of you. If you had any true appreciation for the guitarist and person Dime was, then you would applaud ANY tribute effort by ANY band. Their music isn't SUPPOSED to be like Dime's, they just have enough respect for him to celebrate his life with original music. Nickelback aren't my favorite band either but I sure as hell respect them for doing this.
in a way it's cool that they got Dime to play the solo. But for fucks sake if i was doin a tribute to Dime i would at least fuckin do the solo on my own. Thats not really a cool thing to do unless a guest did the solo for them (like Zakk Wylde or any other friend of Dime).
Nickelback rock!! Btw to the nob who knows nuttin, the song aint a cover, some of the riff is chad kroegers best friend, dimebag's, but the song is theres. dickshit
Do any guys who berate Nickelback realise Chad n Dime n his bro are close friends ? They deserve to make a tribute song. Vinnie Paul was supposed to play drums on this, Daniel Adair already put his drums infront of it and Vinnie said "I can't do better, leave it!" Listen to Nickelback albums and heavy stuff is awesome. They are flawless live and r much better musicians than "so called" muso's who post on here think.
i think this is pretty good, i respect them more now, and if they wanted to play metal and shiznich then they would. i like ther respect for dime tho its good!
Anyone who respected dimebag can make a tribute to him, he would have been proud to see this. As for anything against nickelback in general, there is nothing wrong with them AT ALL, they're a good band.
nickleback doing a tribute to dimebag, what the fuck is this bullshit, nickleback is fucking garbage and far as hell from metal as it gets, fuck them.
Doesn't anyone else see this as a cheap and blatant attempt to make money on the tragic death of an incredible and highly-respected musician? The cd was released in 2005. If he had wanted to show love to Dime, this should have been the first single, not the last two years later.
"The Pantera connection was more complicated and stemmed from a darker place. Chad became friends with drummer Vinnie Paul and the late guitarist Dimebag Darrell while on tour with Jerry Cantrell, and wound up working with Dimebag on a cover of Elton John's 'Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting,' which appeared on the 'Charlie's Angels' soundtrack.
After the legendary guitarist was shot and killed onstage, a devastated Kroeger wrote an aggressive song called 'Side of a Bullet,' as a lasting tribute to his friend. 'After I put the song together, I really wanted Vinnie's blessing,' Kroeger says.
'So, I called him up and played the track for him over the phone. He said, I'd love to have you do a song about my brother.' Vinnie then sent some guitar outtakes and we pieced together a solo and put it on the song. The result is a new Dimebag Darrel solo.' "
Nickelback are as FUCKING FAR from Dimebag as the Bee Gees or any other power pop pussies. Man, I hate Nickelback even more now. I respect Vinnie Paul but I think his new band HELLYEAH should have been the ones to do this song... where some kind of rock credentials could have made the song shine.
chad forgot the words on one part which really must suck for him concerdering this was for the best fucking man and guitar player of all time!! RIP DIME!
this is the only good song they have.
