Magazines including <em>Guitar World<\/em> in the U.S. and <em>Metal Hammer<\/em> in the U.K. have put together special issues to honor the guitar legend. One person who <em>won\u2019t <\/em>be publicly commemorating the legacy of Dimebag Darrell, however, is his former Pantera bandmate, vocalist Phil Anselmo, whose current group Down will be playing the Fillmore in San Francisco that night.\u00a0  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_15_0_1_1418033703065_299\">&#8220;There is no f\u2014-ing way on this planet Earth that I am going to celebrate the death of one of my best friends and my guitar player in Pantera,&#8221; Anselmo tells Yahoo. &#8220;I won\u2019t do any Pantera songs or anything like that. Like every night, I\u2019ll send out a song to Dimebag. I always send out the song \u2018Lifer\u2019 because if there was ever a lifer in heavy metal music \u2014 someone who lived it and breathed it and forged it every single day \u2014 it was him. He is the epitome of a lifer whether he is in the tomb or not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_15_0_1_1418033703065_301\">For Anselmo, there\u2019s no specific significance to the 10th anniversary of Darrell\u2019s death. It\u2019s just a reminder that the man he played with partied with and lived with between 1986 and 2003 is still gone. And when he thinks about it, he remembers the ugly way the band broke up and how the situation might have been different.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every year gets harder,&#8221; Anselmo says in a grave tone. &#8220;I look at what\u2019s out there in heavy metal and I think about what could have been. Really, it gets tougher every single f\u2014-ing year. This is an evil time of year for me. It\u2019s rough, man. When you think of the madcap f\u2014-ing way he was taken from us, I don\u2019t think any of us in the band can really come to f\u2014-ing terms with it. The murder made no sense, the reasoning made no sense, and because it was done by a sick f\u2014-ing person that had nothing to do with us except help seal the fate of the story and create this gigantic gulf of so many questions, it\u2019s just confounding and miserable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: Yahoo Music<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Various individuals and organizations across the globe have scheduled events in December to commemorate the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4835"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4835\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
