You've called Dime a generic metal guitarist, and then you said his band started the groove thrash movement? ...sorta contradicting?

And he's mallcore, 'cause his band inspired the music of KoRn?
.

1) The groove/thrash movment was a movment based on dumbed-down, mediocre riffs and a general downsyndrome state of the qaulity of metal music. Would not have needed much talent to begin with to play in those types of bands. Dime was right for that genre. He did not do anything revolutionary, he just had just really bad ideas musically and had a talent for makeing some of the dumbest riffs I've ever heard in my life.

Well that's all just opinion, surely.

Find me a band that sounds like Pantera, who made their music before Dime did.

...and also, by your logic, if Dime is generic and mallcore, Paul Gilbert is mallcore also.

Mmmhmm?

Umm no....

prehaps you misunterstand what mallcore is.

Pantera was "mallcore" because of their ultra commercial nature. Not just because they were mainstream or sold alot of records, but because they were willing to stoop to industry standards and trends in oder to do that. What makes a band mallcore is that they are willing to embrace trends, change their image, change thier sound and generally do what ever the record companies want or what the indusrty wants in order for them to achiev success. Pantera "changed" their image and style of music to what was popular, on several occasions. From going glam in the the early 80s to being Exhorder ripp -offs in the late 80s to being groove monkeys and "teen angst rock" ala Faith No More/Korn/ Nirvana. Thats why Pantera is Mallcore.

...oh, and at the risk of getting annoying - I just remembered this: in an interview with a certain guitar magazine, Mick Thompson (of Slipknot fame) was asked about his influences. He took this opportunity to tell said magazine that he grew up listening to Racer X.

Didn't mention Pantera once, so there's one "mallcore" band that Pantera don't get credit for, sorry =)

In that case, Bach was an emo kid, and every blues musician, ever, is a satanic black Metal Guitarist.

...almost every successful band is going to inspire other artists, both good and bad. Thing is, this Dime fellow appears to have touched people more than these other guitarists did. It's not just his playing that got him where he is! It's who he was.

Pantera were more than an average band, they've laid down some immense riffs. And as you said, they started off their own genre.

I was around in the 80s, but I do like the metal it produced, and I like that too.
(And hey, if that metal inspired Pantera, and Pantera inspired Slipknot, does that make Judas Priest and Led Zeppelin mallcore?)

I might not be the last person to call you up on this...

...Pantera are not "mallcore". That would sorta make them a band listened to by "mallgoths" and other such teens who hate themselves and the world around then, want to die and sing about carving hearts etc etc..?

I know a lot of highly skilled musicians who love to listen to Pantera, so no... not mallcore, just metal really, and like by more than just a bunch of whiney kids.

I will agree that he is not the most talented of guitarists as far as scales, theory and technical/physical ability is concered, but Dime's real talent, was that he could reach out to people's souls, through his being, and his music.

He was loved for who he was.
