I became a Pantera fan after hearing Cemetery Gates. It was the guitar riffs that drew me in and made me a fan to this day. No guitarists that I've heard could go higher up on the fretboard and make their guitar scream the way Dimebag could. He wasn't a "jammer", he knew exactly where his riffs were and where they were going to next.

^ Amen brother! I always considered Dimebag to be one of the greatest guitar players ever, simple as that. I like to see Dimebag in polls but Jerry Cantrell?? With all do respect and I really like the guy, they are really not in the same league.

^^ I thought about that this morning. I'm not really sure which metal guitarist could come close to Dimebag in a poll. I'll have to give it some more thought.

I prefer AiC as a band to Pantera, but man I can't express enough of how good Dimebag is. Should always be put with legends like Hendrix, Page, and Clapton.

Dimebag is a shredmeister for sure. But I find Cantrell more inventive, able to come up with unusual riffs and chords. I prefer Cantrell, one of the standout guitarists of 90s alt rock/metal. Cantrell v/s Thayil would have been more interesting and more difficult for me. Dimebag was covering well trodden ground, albeit with spectacular chops.
