VINNIE PAUL Responds To Accusations That He Is 'Cashing In' On DIMEBAG's Legacy
- Nov. 19, 2008
|
|
During an appearance on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" this past Monday night (November 17), former PANTERA and current HELLYEAH drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott was asked about the criticism he has received via various Internet message boards for the fact that the proceeds from his Dimebag-related projects are not going to charity. "I don't even know where to go with that other than, you know… They're [the detractors] not in the same position I'm in or had to go through what I've gone through here," Vinnie replied. "It's really none of their business where it goes, so I don't know how else to address it — I really don't even think about it; it doesn't cross my mind. I'm doing this for the fans and for them to enjoy what Dime was all about and give them more than what they already had — to increase his legacy and to make him larger than life forever. And he'll outlive all of us. I'm beyond letting things like that pick at me or irritate me. I just have to look past 'em and keep rolling." Vinnie Paul Abbott's appearance on "Rockline" is now available for streaming at this location. "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was shot to death along with three others during a DAMAGEPLAN performance at the Alrosa Villa nightclub in Columbus, Ohio in December 2004. Dimebag was posthumously inducted into the Hollywood RockWalk in May 2007 in a ceremony attended by Vinnie Paul, their father Jerry Abbott and Dimebag's longtime girlfriend, Rita Haney, along with members of ALICE IN CHAINS, ANTHRAX, KISS, SLAYER and Ozzy Osbourne's band. A bronze bust of Dimebag was unveiled during the ceremony and later installed on the RockWalk's posthumous inductee wall, alongside luminaries such as Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix and Robert Johnson. A special one-time only all-star tribute to fallen PANTERA/ DAMAGEPLAN guitarist and Texas native "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was held on August 9, 2008 at the one-day Ozzfest at Dallas' Pizza Hut Park. The tribute to "Dimebag" Darrell featured Vinnie Paul (acting as musical director and playing drums), along with an array of prominent hard rockers, including HATEBREED's Jamey Jasta, SLAYER's Kerry King, SOULFLY's Max Cavalera, King Diamond, ANTHRAX's Scott Ian, ALICE IN CHAINS' Jerry Cantrell and METALLICA's Lars Ulrich. Vinnie Paul Abbott has just released "He Came To Rock" — a new paperback photo book/DVD on "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott. "He Came To Rock" contains over 400 pictures of Dimebag along with a biography of his life written by authors Susan Doll and David Morrow ( "Elvis, Forever In The Groove", "Marilyn Monroe: Her Life And Legend"). Also included are personal tributes from a number of metal's most prominent musicians, among them SLAYER's Kerry King, ANTHRAX's Scott Ian and OZZY OSBOURNE/ BLACK LABEL SOCIETY's Zakk Wylde. The DVD portion of the package consists of the previously released "DimeVision - Vol 1: That's The Fun I Have", complete with never-before-seen bonus footage. The book was compiled by Vinnie and his father Jerry Abbott and has been in the works for more than a year. "We are very excited about this as it's a true tribute to the King himself!" Vinnie previously stated.

I don't care if Vinnie Paul figures out every single KISS item that EVER came out and makes a Dimebag Darrell version of every single fucking one of them . . . That man watched his BROTHER BE SHOT TO DEATH ONSTAGE.
Anybody that has a fucking WORD to say about that can come see me about it. What a bunch of fucking dickheads.
Vinnie Paul, you have my respect sir. Never let these backstabbing, jealous douchebags get you down. Never,

He should NOT have to explain himself. Anybody ever hear of William Shakesoeare? Wonder why that is? Ever hear of Beethovan? How about Plato? How do his critics know the money's not going to charity? Have they seen his tax returns? He isn't required to broadcast every charitable donation he makes. I think there's more integrity in not advertising it. He's giving Dime's fans what they want. No harm, no foul.

I don't feel the book is cashing in nor do I look at Dimevision as an attempt. I guess I look at it differently. The first time I saw Darrell live was at the age of 17 and he was a bad ass then. Seeing all that footage and these photos will be trips down memory lane for me.
I sure don't dig Damage Plan or HellYeah but I can say thanks for stirring the memories. Those were some great days.
ONWARD WE ROCK !

will never be forgotten. He's got hundreds of songs and videos to keep his memory alive. He influenced a whole generation of guitarists. I don't pretend to know what Vinnie's gone thru and I don't necessarily think he is cashing in on Dime, but I think there are others who are, or at least trying.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that Vinnie is "cashing in", but the constant barrage of merchandise, in my opinion anyways, tarnishes the legacy of Dime. I would hate to see get to a Kiss level, where the swag is more important than the music

If Vinnie doesn't feel like he owes an explination,why is he giving one?Because people disapprove?
I don't know.There's a place for all this and a place for it to stop.
Not to mention I'd never in a million years wish for someone's favorite band to die like Dime died,or even like Cliff Burton died.Wishing death on someone,well,that shit's just not right,IMO.

If you're criticizing Vinnie Paul regarding his book on his late brother Dimebag let me refer to you this particular song:
You tried to spit in the eye
Of a dead man’s face
Attacked the ways of a man
Not yet in his grave
But your hate was over all too soon
Because nothing is over
And nothing’s through,
Till we bury you
For the love of brother
I will sing this fucking song
Aesthetics of hate,
I hope you burn in hell
The words I read on the screen
Left me fucking sick
I felt the hatred rising
You son of a bitch
You branded us pathetic for our respect
But he made us Driven,
Such deep reverence,
Far beyond the rest
For the love of brother
I will sing these fucking words
Aesthetics of hate,
I hope you burn in hell
Yer!
Wow!
Long live memories
Live this freedom vicariously
Defend tenfold
His honor we’ll always uphold
For the love of brother
I will say these fucking words
No silence against ignorance
Iconoclast, I hope you burn in hell
May the hand of god strike them down
That sounds about right.

It's costs Vinnie to produce these items does it not? Its paying out of his own ass to produce things to continue the legacy of his brother, who knows the little money that he may be making might be going into more dime projects? People are stupid.

Don't get it twisted, children. The cops would bust Vinnie's ass for prostitution in a minute.
However, I can't say that I disapprove. I've seen the Vulgar Videos about a billion times, after all.
Vin, you may be a complete tool to talk to, and Hellyeah should be considered a fucking hate crime punishable by immolation (mainly for Chad Gray's laughable immitation of someone who may have even looked in a southern direction), but for trying to keep the legacy of your very talented, and unfortunately deceased, brother...you most certainly have a pass for your blatant whoring. Who cares where the money goes?
Now seriously, end Hellyeah. Today.

Yes, it is bad what happened to Dime and what Vinne has had to go through but...
Pantera=Posers
Panterrible were the biggest TRENDIES in heavy music...if you don't believe me check out their pre Cowboys albums that half of you probably don't even know about...that shit is worse than Hellyeah...and that takes a lot to pull off...Alcoholin' Ass is probably the worst song I have ever heard...A little pinch of chew and a little bit of you...who the fuck comes up with lyrics like that...
Vinne and that trash bag Rita are definitely cashing in on an OVERRATED guitar player...
The BEST members of PANTERA are in DOWN...

Anyone who could possibly think such a release tarnishes the Dimebag legacy is a fucking clown. He was a phenomenal talent that future generations will be thankful to know about, and this release gives everyone an amazing insight into Dime's life from the one person who should know better than anyone else: HIS BANDMATE AND BROTHER.
To the guitarists out there, I'll give you an example: I am willing to lay hefty odds on the fact that many of you reading this have clamoured for whatever Jimi Hendrix or Randy Rhoads (to name but two) material you could possibly get your hands on - much of it possibly of inferior quality - and why? BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE GOOD FORTUNE OF SEEING THESE AMAZING PLAYERS ALIVE!!!
Fuck, some people are idiots.

If Vinnie wants his brother to have peace and respect he wouldn't be pimping out new shirts, belt buckles, etc. every few months at Hot Topic for all of the "true" kids to enjoy.

He has my respect as a good drummer and for what he went through with Dime's death, but he is clearly making a profit off of this. You really can't deny it. Everyone's been abusing Dime since he died, and it sucks, but there's the fucked up human race for you.

Here's the facts...
Exhorder released the Slaughter in the Vatican DEMO in 1988.
Do you know what Pantera released in 1988? An album called Power Metal...all the while still dressing like trannies.
So while Exhorder wee releasing groove metal...Pantera was trying to be Motley Crue.
Panterrible heard this sound and decided an image change was best...

Die in a fucking fire! I was at the Al Rosa on december 8th 2004 and it was the most horrible thing I have ever witnessed. Mother fucker killed a legend. Vinnie Paul was a wreck as was the other 300 people in attendance that night. You know what its like to see Vinnie Paul white as a ghost and crying and shaking from head to toe...it was terrible. So seriously leave the man alone. Fucking piece of shit no good fucktards.
Pantera schooled anyone out there when they were alive and well. And everyone of you should have respect for the dead and the people involved in what happened that night. Being "metal" doesnt mean hating just to hate. If I could reach through this screen and grab you haters by the throat, we would see how cool and tough you are. Pussies!

The fact of the matter is.... Had that psychotic douchebag shot Vinnie instead of Dime..... Dime would be the one releasing the book and all the other shit about Vinnie. And you'd AAAALLLL be talking shit about Dimebag Darrel because, let's fact it - 90% of you like and respect Dime because he got shot. I'm one of the rare 10% who liked the man and his music before he got shot. Suck on that posers!!!
Vinnie is not a douche. This book is not gonna make him nearly as much money as his music will. He is still getting money for Pantera sales, and not to mentoin the amount of money he's making for Hellyeah, considering how much I hear that (shitty ass poser wannabe metal crap) band on the radio. So, Vinnie is releasing this stuff for the fans. Just like Led Zep, the Stones and whatever other bands are releasing live/greatest hits albums over and over again.
Fuck the haters!

Everyone on here that has anything bad to say about Dime, or Vinnie, can kiss my fucking ass! Dime was the man, and still is. I only had the pleasure of meeting him once in Colorado Springs about 10 or 11 years ago, and he was the coolest motherfucker. Bullshitted with him for a minute, shook his hand and got a couple autographs from him, and the rest of Pantera. The more things that Vinnie wants to put out there for Dime's fans the better. I say bring it on!! His legend will never die. I don't know about the rest of you on here, but I for one will be crankin some Pantera, and drinkin one for Dime on Dec 8th.. Who's with me?

unfortunately, this is just the beginning of his cashing in on dimebag, there's gonna be so much more crap. he's made it obvious that it's gonna go on and on, what the fuck else is he gonna do.
if his brother were still alive they'd both still be cashing in on pantera big time, by making the damageplan singer do all phil's stuff. phil didn't need to fall back on pantera material but they did.
now all he has to fall back on is his brother's legacy, and he's gonna milk it, never let go and never move on.

This is the bottom line!
Vin isnt cashing in on dimes name. He's giving back to the fans who supported pantera for years. read---> FANS!
Im a fan. I support Down and anything Vin is involved in just because the fact i grew up supporting pantera.
To all the haters. you obviously live a miserable life sitting here whining about this subject ever since Dime got killed. Get over it if your not a fan. Let the fans argue about this if they want.
And all this bullshit about pantera ripping off all these other bands and they were glam or whatever... thats whats called "INFLUENCE" from the times that they lived.

STRAIGHT UP, WHEN PANTERA WOULD COME OUT WITH AN ALBUM DIME'S GUITAR WAS MONSTROUS AS FUCK AND NOTHING GAVE ME THAT HIGH MUSICALLY. IT'S NOT LIKE VINNIE'S GONNA MAKE A LOT OF MONEY OFF DIME ANYWAY SINCE 90% OF THE PEOPLE I KNOW NEVER EVEN HEARD OF PANTERA. METAL'S FOR THE FEW AND THAT'S FINE WITH ME, BESIDES, I'D RATHER HAVE VINNIE PUT OUT AUTHORIZED STUFF OF DIME THAN SOME DIPSHIT WHO DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM. BY THE WAY, I BOUGHT THE BOOK LAST NIGHT AND IT'S AWESOME! GREAT BIOGRAPHY AND VERY HEARTFELT. ALL TESTOSTERONE ASIDE, DIME WAS A SWEETHEART OF A GUY AND DIDN'T DESREVE WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. I'M ONLY GLAD HE DIED DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE LOVED. YOU GUYS NEED TO STOP TALKING SHIT THAT'S NOT COOL AT LEAST IN THIS CASE SHOW SOME RESPECT. THOSE 2 BROTHERS WERE A FUCKING TEAM AND KICKED ASS ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH WHAT THEY DO. VINNIE, DO US ALL A FAVOR...PANTERA 4 HOME VIDEO, DAMAGEPLAN 2 CD, AND ANOTHER DIMEVISION DVD WOULD BE NICE.

I think it's fucking disgusting that Vinnie should have to defend himself against such accusations. Quite honestly I couldn't give two shits if he used his Dime money and pissed the lot of it up the wall. Why should he have to donate it to charity to please the fuckheads on here, he owes no-one nothing.

Any artist who actually gets paid at the end of the day is accused of "selling out" or "cashing in." Anybody else collect a paycheck after working all week? There is nothing wrong with getting paid to practice your craft. How many bands can't tour because all the members have to work a regular job to pay rent and buy formula? Why some people think you sold out if you're not flat broke is beyond me. Poverty equals integrity. BULLSHIT

what vinnie is doing is awesome!! we "the fans" of dimebag need and want things of him we didn't already have. particularly i'm sure, never before heard music. or unseen video footage. point is, in my eyes, the more the merrier. when a magazine like guitar world scrambles and puts old so called "lost interview" material together of dimebag, jimi hendrix, kurt cobain or whoever that's just wrong. that is all about the money...NO DOUBT!! they put these guys on a cover every year for the cash. keep doing what you're doing vinnie, and hopefully you'll eventually release some of that unreleased damageplan material, a new home video, perhaps any unreleased pantera stuff if there is any.

Dime was Vinnie's BROTHER. And they were obviously close. And if you don't have a brother, especially a brother you're close with, a brother who is your best friend, you can NEVER BEGIN to understand what Vinnie must have gone through four years ago and must still go through every day. They played music they loved together for years.
My brother and I are close like I imagine Dime and Vinnie were. We sometimes fuck around and have silly bass and drums jams. He's a ridiculously talented musician, and I'm a dabbler. But when we jam, we're on the exact same page. But, that's my best friend and my blood.
My brother and I work together, kind of like how Vinnie and Darrell worked together. I can never imagine having to watch my brother get shot in the face and killed right in front of me. It must be like a nightmare you can never wake up from. I couldn't imagine my brother not being there to make retarded jokes with, or just talk or hang out.
If you don't have a brother like that, you could never understand.
So what if Vinnie isn't donating money from Darrell-related things to charity? Is it really making your day that bad? It's probably going to the Abbot family anyway. Worry about something else.

Well I must say I'm not a very big fan of any of the projects on the Abbott side past Pantera. I do respect them though. I know just as well as anybody else on here that has spent any length of time with Dime in person that he would want Vin to do whatever he had to, to continue doing what he loved.
There will be another Pantera dvd too. Somewhere in that vault is footage of me hangin out with all of em showin off our BTG's during the tour with Prong and sepultura.
You know he can't do what he wants, so let him do what he has to.

I totally agree with you, Angry Johnny! People who care about where the money goes, need to get their own f'n lives! "Wee wee wee, Vinne Paul is making money, and I'm just a loser in my mom's basement with NO money. Wee wee wee... I have no friends and no life, therefore I need to care about a complete stranger's economy.. Wee wee wee." Nag nag nag!

With all due respect to Dime (RIP bro), he's one big old dollar sign to Vinnie.

He would give EVERY penny back if he could just have his brother by his side again!!! All these people talking crap now but when Pantera was together it was probly one of their favorite bands. All it takes is one person to say something negitive on here and a whole bunch of (let's see how many people we can piss off) bandwagon jumpers will follow. They come back and check to see if someone had something to say about thier last post. Hoping they made someone mad. All the while their sitting there laughing like a bunch of school girls. They probly don't know that much about metal in the first place. Just the couple of albums they own. PITFULL!!!

`Panterrible heard this sound and decided an image change was best.´
Why not? I don´t see the hatred towards this awesome band and especially Dime. If they were successful is because they adapted well and they were a TALENTED AND UNIQUE group, with their PERSONAL AND RECOGNIZABLE sound, that´s what made them so special, massive and unforgettable. People are no fools. See what they became, the BEST metal band in the 90´s, period. If they changed, why can´t they? They did for the better (it could have been the other way), and they had the most influential guitarist whether you like or not at the time hands down. They will always be remembered, no matter how you try to prove the opposite, and I don´t care about their 80´s albums either.

as he is rightfully entitled to keep his brother's name alive, even though he is cashing in on his legacy and you can't convince me otherwise. But what really needs to happen out of all of this is for Rita to shut her fucking mouth. She was Dime's girl, yes, we get it but she is NOT a fucking musician nor does she have any right to be his mouthpiece beyond the grave, spreading lies and starting shit in the press. If anything, she's done more harm to his legacy than anyone could ever hope to do.

Rita Haney stops running her mouth over Phil Anselmo.
Now I dream of Vinnie and Phil Anselmo and Rex shares a hug together. And proceed to play "Cemetary Gates", "Hollow", "I'm Broken", "Primal Concete Sledge," and "Fucking Hostile". And maybe "Walk," since everrrrryyyyyfuckingbody wants to cover that song. It got ruined for me but would love to see it done right one last time.
