Let me clarify:

I have Pantera albums and really like Dime's playing. I also like the enthusiasm he had for his music and the way he treated the fans.

Dime may have had very good reasons for making the Washburn and SH-13 deals. My comments were insensitive and I apologize.

I do not take back the comment about Dime being noted for exmplary alcohol consumption. I surely wouldn't want to be held exactly accountable for anything I said when a few pints were involved. :)
