šÆļø 30 years of 'The Great Southern Trendkill.' Dimebag Darrell forever.ā
ā
The guitar solo in "Floods," which is considered by many to be Dime's greatest, stemmed from passages he played onstage between songs during the 'Far Beyond Driven' tour. ā
ā
"I used to play a 20-minute solo that consisted of everything from [Eddie Van Halen's] 'Eruption' to [Randy Rhoads'] '(Revelation) Mother Earth' ā plus whatever else I felt like throwing in," Dime told Guitar World. "A regular part of my solo featured a long-assed, 'sing-along' type lead section, which ended up in 'Floods.'"ā
ā
Rex Brown added of the 'Trendkill' sessions: "It was the first time Philip [Anselmo] didn't track vocals with us, which left Dime leery because he didn't know what to do with the leads. But he got it done anyway and it was killer. Just listen to 'Floods.' Thatās the three of us locked in and it's got all these different shades to it and all these dynamics and Dimeās solo couldn't be better."

The greatest guitar solo of all time played by the greatest guitar player of all time at one of Panteraās last shows ever
On May 6, 2001, Pantera played their first and only show in South Korea at the Olympic Tennis Center in Seoul. This was during the Reinventing the Steel tour, which would ultimately be the final world tour for the original lineup. While the set was known for Phil Anselmoās raw and erratic energy, Dimebag Darrell was at a technical peak, delivering some of the most precise and soulful performances of his career. The professional broadcast of this show, often titled āKilling in Korea,ā became legendary among fans for capturing Dimebagās tone with surgical clarity.
The āFloodsā solo is widely considered Dimeās magnum opus, consistently ranked among the greatest guitar solos in metal history. What most people donāt realize is that Dimebag actually came up with the haunting, melodic motif for this solo in the late 1980s, long before The Great Southern Trendkill was even a thought. He sat on the idea for years, waiting for the right song to anchor it. In Seoul, he used his signature Whammy pedal and flanger effects to create that āunderwaterā atmosphere, making the guitar sound like it was weeping through the humidity of the arena.
This footage is a reminder that even when the band was nearing its end, Dimebagās commitment to the craft never wavered.
The āFloodsā solo wasnāt just a display of speed; it was a study in dynamics and tension. Seeing him standing alone under the blue lights in Seoul, pulling those harmonics out of the air, captures the duality of Panteraāthe ability to be the most aggressive band on the planet one second and the most melodic the next. It remains one of the most haunting moments ever captured on pro-shot film.

Do you remember the first track you heard from the record ?
