Friday, January 26: Pantera, "I'll Be Alright"

R.I.P. "Diamond/Dimebag" Darrell Lance Abbott (1966-2004), Vinnie Paul Abbott (1964-2018)

Metal Magic wasn’t very metal, and it certainly wasn’t magical, but considering that the Abbott brothers were still in their teens when their dad helped them make the first Pantera record, it had its moments.  The songs may not have all been there, but a handful of tracks like “I’ll Be Alright” showed an initial spark that would set the band on their way.  In the early days, Pantera was all about having fun, and this track reflected that with enthusiastic playing from every member, and if Terry Glaze’s screeching was always more than a little ridiculous, it also always felt like he was right there in the mix with the Abbotts and Rex “Rocker” Brown.  “I’ll Be Alright” was a no-frills early ‘80s Z-grade headbanger that sounded much more like a group of guys trying to get a party going than shooting for the stars, and that was fundamental to its charm.

I'm normally not too bothered by murder cases, but what happened to Dimebag truly makes my stomach churn.

He was such a an important figure, extremely talented, and an inspiration for millions.

He was left slumped over his guitar, the feedback from the amp still ringing.

Killed. Just like that.

Sickens me every time. RIP dime.

Dime smiles as he walks through the doorframe of your shared house. He looks around the living room but doesn't see you so he calls out for you, "Sweetheat! Darlin' I'm home early!" He waits a few seconds- still not hearing or seeing you, thinking you went out to the store.

Dime shrugs, setting his bag on the dining table and heading into the kitchen to make a sandwich. He whips one up quickly and heads to the bedroom to chillax as he waits for you.

He walks in, eyes widening as he sees you laying on the bed- face in the mattress hips in the air and your hand down your pants. The noises and whines you make send shivers down his spine. "Darlin'?" Dime mumbles, his mouth now very dry.

You stop, hand still down your pants and face red. You turn your head to face him and whine, "Dime..I need help,,.." You mumble, embarrassed by getting caught but glad that he's here. Dime's breath catches and he nods- not saying a word and coming up behind you, placing his hands on your hips, rubbing them softly.

constantly makes you laugh

pulling pranks

making silly faces

or cracking jokes just to see you smile

being with him would feel like one big party, but he’d know how to dial it back when you needed something more serious

he’d write songs for you or dedicate riffs to you during shows.

if you play an instrument or sing, he’d be over the moon about jamming together.

even if you don’t, he’d love to serenade you with his guitar late at night.

you hear that riff? that’s you, baby. pure magic.

GIFT. GIVER. AT. HEART.

LOVES spoiling you with little things he picked up on tour

or handmade gifts he made

expect things like:

a handmade necklace

or quirky little trinkets

he’d be all about going wild at concerts or parties

but he’d also treasure lazy nights at home.

BIG ON PDA

dimebag wouldn’t care who’s watching

he’d hold your hand, kiss your cheek, or pull you in for a full-on smooch whenever the mood strikes

he’d be big on letting the world know you’re his person.

he’d love trying out new recipes and see if he could perfect them

VERY SENTIMENTAL

has boxes on boxes of little things from your relationship

ticket stubs

polaroids

or even napkins from your favorite diner

hypeman to the max

babe, you’re hotter than a texas summer

GAWD DAYUM THAT ASS IN THAT DRESS

Friday, January 20: Pantera, “Hellbound”

R.I.P. “Diamond/Dimebag” Darrell Lance Abbott (1966-2004), Vinnie Paul Abbott (1964-2018)

The past 20 years, not to mention the controversy surrounding Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown reviving the brand without the Abbotts, managed to obscure the uncomfortable fact that Pantera ended on a down note: besides Anselmo’s antics being almost entirely responsible for the group’s dissolution, their final album and tour found the band exhausted and mostly running on fumes.  On the one hand, the relative leanness of Reinventing the Steel was welcome after the increasing bloat of the previous two records, but while “Hellbound” was a canonfire blast of an opener, it also betrayed Pantera’s continued lack of focus. Sure, Vinnie Paul’s drumming was as intense and powerful as ever, and there could only ever be one Dimebag Darrell, but as singular as their “power groove” was, here it was very clearly prioritized over actual songwriting, and that wasn’t helped by Anselmo phoning it in and seemingly nodding off mid-song. “Hellbound” felt like a really good idea that wasn’t fully seen through, so while it sounded killer as it played, one couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing.

Summary :: Dimebag getting you to play guitar

TW :: Sorta uggestive, just a lil

[thank you for the request, anon <3]

Darrell ruffles your hair and sighs. "Love, why dont we go play some guitar together? i know you've been wanting to practice, and it's been hard to get motion for it." he says softly. You smile and shrug, not finding motion even after he suggests playing with you. "I don't know D.." Darrell chuckles and shakes his head. "Sweetheart...what if... you practice with me and after we can do WHATEVER you want. How about that?" You perk up at the offer. "Whatever I want?" You ask. He nods, and you don't think twice before grabbing your guitar - causing him to laugh.
