A tribute to Dimebag Darrell
Guitar World
Rodrigo: Well we just both were super fans regardless of what happened to him
we’re going to attribute some time you know some day. He’s pretty in—
able and when we were growing up it was very important that Panthera
came out at that time. We had our metal band going on and Metallica had
gone very commercial with the black album when the— came out and that
kind of gave some hope to the metal community.
And it was a good time, it was the rest piece mega album coming out and
he was guitar normally kind of normally music is so Diamond Back was
very important because he actually came out with stuff that nobody used
to do you know what I’m saying and to come up with stuff like in there—
you know after so many years that’s something new that little thing was
incredible.
Now I met a lot of musicians that did meet him. Did you met him?
Male: I never met him.
Rodrigo: But I mean everyone is just it’s so good about him you know it’s like he
was great guy and a great person and the little addicts call me. That’s why
one of her heroes and he’s a guest in this track. He was very excited of
doing it because of the same reason and he had met him a few times
before and like I said a sweet guy like he was a sweet guy and he was very
excited and yeah I mean I think that’s a little contribution you know to
give him thanks for all the inspiration.
Gabriela: When he came to our studio and he asked us please tell me what to do I
don’t know, he didn’t listen to the track 5 minutes before he recorded so it
was settled okay well let’s sit down with personally me and Rodrigo since
were very young we loved to Alex Skolnic solos it does commit. We
thought it was just outstanding musician and the solos compared to other
metal bands so it was definitely.
And one of our favorites in solos was from that album Testament Souls of
Black Track and we said we liked that because if you can add something
like he didn’t even remember like at all we had to... and then he listened
and he was like yeah he doesn’t have a clue and then we said we also want
some of the Diamond Back like oldies and crazy things and he said okay,
okay. So we let them kind of work out with the music like 5 minutes and
they were like are you ready and then that Rodrigo and Rodrigo produced
the album so he was various with Alex and at the end he did an amazing
solo you know. He did an amazing solo and before he recorded with we
invocated Diamond Back.
And I think he portrayed it and we are so happy with that track actually.
