DIME HAS BEEN MY HERO FOR YEARS. PANTERA'S POSTERS
FILLED MY ROOM, CLIPPINGS FILLED MY NOTEBOOKS AND NOW I'VE ADDED A TRIBUTE TATOO IN REMEMBERANCE. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT DIME AND HIS MUSIC AFFECTED MY LIFE IN A POSITIVE WAY. I'M A 24 YEAR OLD MAN AND FELT LIKE CRYING MY EYES OUT WHEN I FOUND OUT. MAY GOD BE W/ THE PANTERA AND DAMAGEPLAN FAMILIES. YOU'LL BE MISSED BUT NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN. YOU WERE TAKEN TOO SOON. -AG

I'm having a Black Tooth Grin right now man. I think in the past 10 or so years I took Pantera's music for granted. I feel terrible. I'm just glad that I was able to see them live.
Miss ya man! You'll never be forgotten.

Damn,
It's two days later, and it isnt even slightly easier to come to the realization that Dime is gone....
But so long as I have the memories of all the great shows, killer tunes, he lives in my heart and all our hearts forever.
My favorite Dime memory is back in '92, when they were touring with Skid Row and played the DECC up in Duluth, MN. It was the perfect middle finger to hair metal once and for all when they hit the stage, blew the place apart, and they killed the crowd so completely that Bitch Boy Bach magically developed "throat problems" and Skid Row cancelled their headlining set. Afterwards I and a couple friends were hanging around the buses and Dime was just the coolest man on earth with us idiots, got a bunch of free stuff signed by all the band and even got some rolling papers! (we ran out earlier) Outside of a scant few musicians that I have met, none were or ever will be more personable than Dime, and that memory and the other ones of awesome shows put on by Pantera along with a great library of material, will keep Dime alive in my mind forever. The best tribute anyone involved in metal can do for Dime and the Abbott family is to live like Dime did, be cool to everyone, drink, be merry and play uncompromising original metal. The best measure of a man is not in his accomplishments, which were enormous for Dime, but in the estimation of a man by his peers, of which not one person so far has been able to say anything other than complimentary things about Dime. Given that day so long ago back in Duluth, I have no reason but to agree with all the wonderful things said about Dime. We'll love and miss you always Dime, and we all wish nothing but strength and perseverance to all the Abbott family and all the other loved ones who were a part of your life.
R.I.P. (keep those papers handy when I get there!)

i find it pathitic and disgusting the way Mtv(MUSIC television) have choosen to minimize and push to the side such an incredible loss and the overwhelming hurt of the metal and MUSIC community. the video tribute is a nice gesture, but why online only, why can't they show their respect to the general viewing public? everyone needs to bombard mtv and demand more than a two hour H.B. to honor Dime.
