Remembering Dimebag Darrell who died on this day, tragically in 2004. Let’s take a look back at video shot during the early days of his amazing career.

Filmed during the pre-Phil Pantera days, back in 1984, this clip shows Darrell, then nicknamed “Diamond” in full shred mode. He was only 18 years of age, but still doing what he did best and it’s not to be missed.
