“It was 5:30am when the phone rang – it was Dime. ‘We’re mastering the album, and I need to re-cut a part this morning. Can you get a Les Paul and a Korg G3 to me by 9am?’” How Dimebag Darrell’s Floods outro was re-recorded at (literally) the last minute

Dimebag Darrell riffs with Pantera circa 2001, on a stage backlit with blue and pink lights.

One of Dime’s many great recorded solos, the one in Floods – from Pantera’s The Great Southern Trendkill – is one of the most celebrated and beloved. And we’re not just talking about his stunning, emotive lead break in the song.

Let’s not forget about Dime’s hauntingly catchy a capella outro passage, which he painted with moody musical perfection on a sonic thunderstorm tapestry.
