In 2014, Phil Anselmo penned a Rolling Stone tribute to Dimebag Darrell on what was the 10th anniversary of the Pantera guitarist's death: 'I think of him every day'
The first time I ever laid eyes on Dimebag was in 1987 when I tried out for the band. I said, Jesus Christ, look at this skinny guy with this Afro playing guitar. His hair didn’t quite reach his shoulders, because he had this real long-ass neck, and it had this bounce to it. Later, I told him, “Dude, you look like a ruffled-up, fucking old Q-tip.” And he laughed.When I joined the band, he was going by “Diamond Darrell.
But there was another side to him. When it came to Pantera, he was deadly serious. But there was a tongue-in-cheek perfection depending on the mood of what we were writing. When I first joined the band, it felt like I was the “new guy” all the way through, with the Abbott brothers peeking over my shoulder, picking at my lyrics, which drove me bananas.
I learned a lot of lessons from Dimebag. There was a time when I was going through a very tough period when it felt like my body was betraying me, and some days I would just have a shitty attitude and that would be my fucking mood for the day. Both Dimebag and our security guy, Big Val, came in one day and said, “You know, Phil, when you roll off that bus, you set the tone for the day with your actions.
