3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. a great snapshot into the life of an underrated virtuosoBy flyerdogThe book begins which a preamble describing the horrible events of the night Dime was murdered. We all know what happened; but not exactly HOW it happened; and the author does a great job of describing the events with edge of your seat tension. The rest of the book chronicles the rise of Dime/Pantera into the realm of Metal Gods. A couple of thing stood out. Dime was such a gifted player; a veteran of the club circuit at the ripe age of 17; obliterating his competition; some which were years older than him. Second it shows just how honest; unassuming and sincere Dime was in life. Not to mention how down to earth; he and Vinny lived with their mom well after Pantera became a national act; and one of their first acts of generosity was to make sure SHE was taken care of. Vinny and Dime were the perfect Yin/Yang. Dime represented the good time rock and roll; Vinny was the heady business type with very underrated savvy in a cutthroat business. A great deal of time is spent on the typical backstage antics; but a lot of time is spent on the evolution of the band from a hair metal outfit to the bludgeoning juggernaut that Pantera became;all through it; we get glimpses of Dimes humanity through touching annecdotes that remind us just how special he was as a human being. Dime loved to party; but it never interferred with his true love: guitar shredding; and this theme is repeated throughout the book. My only criticism was that I would have liked a little more perspective from the "outcast" Phil Anselmo; his take; his thoughts etc...but then the book is about DIME; really; and its a minor criticism....well worth a read!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Still not a bad book for the priceBy Kevy MetalThe quality of the book itself was exactly how it was described. The content; however; is a little watered down; and the author repeats himself a lot. Still not a bad book for the price; just dont expect some awesome Pantera "tell-all" book.
