In a recent interview Phil Anselmo (once again) praised Dimebag Darrell‘s guitar playing. He said “As far as heavy metal guitarists, rock and roll guitarists [go], there’s a lot of really good players out there, but honestly…” […] “I don’t think there has been a better guitar player than him before him nor after.”
Listen to the whole interview (if you can understand Anselmo‘s babbling) here.
