Dimebag Darrel was a great metal guitarist.
But he's not the virtuoso that the media is making him out to be now that he's been shot to death. Pinch harmonics, fast pentatonic solos, whammy bar dives, killer riffs. He's an awesome metal guitarist, but I'd be lying if I said he's one of the best players I've ever heard.
Also, I know it's supposed to be about the music and not about the image, but the number of posers that have been latching onto Pantera/Damageplan now that he's dead is really annoying. Because Pantera was all about going against the mainstream... the real Pantera fans know what I'm talking about

The best fucking rock amps in the industry.
The loudest amps around without sacraficing tone or sound quality. Used in both the recording studio and at live gigs.

Pseudo-intelligent idiots who dress and act a certain way in attempt to fit into the "emo" subculture. That's all they are -- they're not original, they're not sophisticated, they're shallow little teenage shitbags who want sex from like-minded emo shitbags.
I'm into photography, I took many of the first pictures that were put up on this website. I don't take pictures of myself in a mirror and post them under "emo" and "scene".
I play the guitar too, and I can say that 99% of all emo songs consist of power chords and simple pentatonic solos played in the same key. They don't have any real emotion, just gaudy over-fermented lyrics. Real emotion = Steve Vai or Jeff Beck.

emo girls are easy to get into the sack but theyre usually really dirty. they dont have much self esteem cuz they feel they have to dress and act a certain way to get acceptance.

A guitar technique used for playing fast arpeggios. One note per string is fretted by the left hand, while the right hand sweeps down/up on the strings in one motion. More than one string cannot ring simultaneously or it will become a chord/whatever.
The difficult part of sweep picking lies within getting your left hand to fret the notes in sync with the right hand's sweeping.

High school is pointless. If you want to make it in the world, you need an entrepreneurial spirit, not a report card.
All of these preppy straight-A kids are going to end up making ~$100,000/annual or less in the real world. They're going to have a $300,000 house with a white picket fence and a Chevy Suburban for their soccer mom wives to drive their intolerable kids to middle school in. They're going to spend the rest of their miserable lives going to work, coming home 9 hours later to their shitbag kids and nagging wife, getting drunk while watching ESPN and doing the same thing the next day.

Both my dad and my uncle fucked around in high school but are very well off from the stock exchange/business/real estate.

The most awesome movie ever made. Two punk kids from the 80's (Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter) go back in time with a phone booth.
