Speedball - A tribute to Dimebag Darrell
(though David Whittaker did a good job too ;-))
On December 8th 2004, Dimebag Darrell, former guitarist of Pantera, was shot and killed while performing on stage. 3 other people died in this senseless incident.
On this sad day the world lost one of the greatest guitar players who ever walked the earth. Dimebag influenced a whole generation of metal musicians - including me, Sumppi and Patman.
Actually Sumppi had the idea of producing a tribute remix - he just couldn't participate in the end due to lack of time.
Special thanks to die-hard Pantera fan Patman for his incredible Phil Anselmo vocal acting.
He also played the last solo phrase of this remix (and btw is the vocalist of our band Drown Inc. (www.drowninc.de))
To lift the true spirit to the max I played every single note on a Washburn Dime333 Signature guitar.
(minus the acoustic sound in the first few seconds)
The drums have been taken directly from Pantera's "Far beyond driven", the guitar sound was modeled with Guitar Rig (that provides a virtual model of Dime's distortion pedal). The overall sound ended up somewhere between FBD and Trendkill, I think.
These are the songs I recited and adapted: Floods/Fucking Hostile/Strength beyond Strength/No good (Attack the radical)/Cowboys from Hell/Psycho Holiday and lots of others I had in mind without actually including them note by note.
R.I.P Dimebag, live forever!
