“If I have to sit down and write a new song I’m usually not very good at it, but when I pick up the instrument, something will always come out and I’ll document it. I’ve got thousands of ideas and thousands of boxes of DATs. Sometimes you just know that something’s coming and there are many different ways in which I’ll catch an idea. Sometimes I’ll do it by just singing straight into a microphone, or I’ll wake up in the middle of the night with a piece of paper and a guitar; if you don’t document those moments of inspiration you’ll never remember them!”

“The song Oooo (from the 1999 album The Ultra Zone) was one of those where I felt I had to get to a guitar real quick. So I picked up the first guitar I saw – a Bad Horsie JEM that was tuned down to C – and I just started playing that song. I got through it fairly cryptically by just playing and hearing a melody – it’s all ear – and I ran to the nearest cassette player, which was playing all weird, and got it down. Then I put it on the shelf and I didn’t come back to it until two years later. You see, every Christmas, I document all the little ideas. I heard that again and I thought, ‘I have to do this song now or I’m gonna explode’. It took me four weeks of 16 hours a day to complete it.

On “Scarified”, Gilbert and Bouillet show that besides speed soloing, the band could also come up with badass riffs, while on “Concerto”, Friedman and Becker push their instruments to the point of destruction.
Fans of shred guitar should be forever grateful to Dimebag Darrell – as he almost single-handedly kept skilled soloing alive in the 1990s (during an era when quite a few rock bands opted to bypass guitar solos altogether). And while all the selections on this little old list are full-on rockers, one of Dime’s top solos can be detected in a tune that alternates between being a power ballad and a headbanger – “Cemetery Gates”.
Shred seemed to be all but dead in the mid-late ‘90s.
