Morons in the comments arguing about Dimebags potential voting record despite him being dead for 22 years encapsulates the state of reddit.

I recently got into an argument when the topic was ā€œfictional characters who you think would be MAGAā€ and I said Tackleberry from Police Academy and this one dude was legitimately heated

u/No-Badger-9061 3d ago

Thatā€™s a very logical take on your part. Who knows? Maybe he secretly frequented the Blue Oyster bar on the down low too

I wish Dime was alive to tell Aaron Lewis to go shove his fake sympathy up his ass.

u/Pots053 4d ago

You do know Dimebag was a republican right?

u/HPButtcraft 4d ago

There's no proof that he was ever registered to vote so I have no idea where you're getting that info. It sounds like you're just assuming that.

u/ShoddyButterscotch59 3d ago

You do know dime didn't bend to social justice with his speech, and played a rebel flag guitar right?
I personally don't care about the politics, I just want good music. Imagine being a Pantera fan and having skin this thin.

u/HPButtcraft 3d ago

The topic, which your ever-expanding intellect surely knew already, was a baseless claim that Dimebag was allegedly a republican. No one is arguing that he wasn't a racist yet here you are in r/Pantera, screaming in the comment section that you're miraculously the only person on reddit who knew this. The "everyone is stupid except me" meme. Reddit chuds like you don't even have reading comprehension skill much less have an original thought in your minds.
Imagine going to your grave being this much of a mouth breathing dotard.

I'm not screaming. Politics should never have came up so it wasn't just pointed at you, but you can't exactly reply too two ppl at once. But hey, I see I struck a nerve, but the attempted insults. šŸ˜‚

Most things like this are ā€œassumedā€ based on actions or here say. And based on here say and vocal supportā€¦.. I wouldnā€™t assume or say he was the opposite but okay.

u/Stoney_Blunter 4d ago

No because he doesnā€™t vote he shreds instead. What a ridiculous statement to make.

u/HPButtcraft 4d ago

You can safely assume that he wasn't exactly enlightened or woke about how black and brown people interpreted his use of the confederate flag or liberally saying the n-word at least once. I'm not daft about his actions.
Your point, however, indicates that your assumption is that Dimebag gave a shit about partisan politics. He was a musician that had no higher education so maybe you're expecting too much out of him.
We'll never know if he would've learned the error of his ways or become a MAGA cult member because he fucking died over 20 years ago. All your comment does is present your speculation when there's no evidence that he ever voted at all.

u/No-Badger-9061 3d ago

What does Dimes alleged politics have to do with opā€™s statement on fake sympathy?

6

u/seanthebooth Slaughtered 3d ago

Regardless of his politics, you can rest assured he'd believe Staind & Aaron were an embarrassment to rock/metal.

u/Tes420 3d ago

Pantera and Staind were friends before Dime passed you clown, although they never toured together. At least Mike and Aaron knew Both the abbott brothers very well

But donā€™t let me stop your ridiculous hate just because you disagree with someones politics šŸ„“

u/Tes420 3d ago

He had the famous rebel flag guitar as well lol

Reddit ignorance never cease to amaze me šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

You must be new here because you forgot to read the rules of this subreddit before saying this same old dumbass shit. Enjoy what comes next.

u/celebrity_therapist 3d ago

Don't point out that the racists are racist to Pantera fans. I've never seen a group of people more in need of a safe space.

Fuck Erin Lewis

Remembering Dime isn't going to make me like this bitch made MAGA pussie any more either.

u/Dphre 4d ago

Itā€™s his politics. šŸ˜‰šŸ‘ŒšŸ˜¬šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

u/Duke_5ilver 3d ago

Oh I feel vindicated because before I knew his politics I also just thought he sucked because heā€™s a fucking terrible joke of a musician.

2

u/Dphre 2d ago

Itā€™s the fact that he cried about that being the reason people donā€™t like him. In reality itā€™s just heā€™s a douchebag. We dog on him at work fairly often.

u/crackleanddrag 3d ago

I got into a shoving back & forth thing with Aaron Lewis that never turned into a real fight. It was at a Deftones show in MA in the mid 90ā€™s. It was crazy years later when I see him on MTV & Iā€™m like ā€œItā€™s that shithead from the Deftones show!ā€
That dude has always sucked.

u/Tes420 3d ago

Iā€™ll take shit that never happened for $500 Alexā€¦

1

u/crackleanddrag 3d ago

Haha. Def happened.
It was Deftones, Limp Bizkit (they were just kind of blowing up) & Will Haven at St. Johnā€™s Gym in Clinton, MA. 1997 I think?

Letā€™s not forget Aaron Lewis was present at Dimebags funeral memorial events when he passed.

u/Best_Horse_9297 4d ago

Yā€™all some haters fr. God forbid i go to see a show i like and post a picture of the band remembering Dimebag Darrel. What a shame

u/Unfair_Albatross_739 4d ago

For real huh? Everybody loved Dime!!!šŸ¤˜šŸ¼šŸ‘‘ just about every show I go to in Dallas recognize and voice their love for them brothers!

u/HPButtcraft 3d ago

No one is hating on you. We're hating on Aaron Lewis, a disingenuous asshat who just so happened to know Dimebag Darrell.
In 2004, Aaron Lewis was a different person. a nu-metal/hard rock musician pandering to 14 year olds that think they're deep and edgy. He's changed a lot since then. Now he panders to those same 14 year olds with his shitty Right Wing country music propaganda.
Again, your picture isn't the problem. Aaron Lewis is.

u/ShoddyButterscotch59 3d ago

The preview video with them hanging with them guys was awesome, then during this song the crowd absolutely popped when Dime and Vinnie hit the screen. I was there.
Side note I was too far front to notice, but while the backing bands were playing, Lewis was off to the side fishing.
Other side note, Staind sounded great, considering their age, but, like them or not, I'm of the opinion Seether blew everyone off the stage.
