got metal edge in the mail today and they did an interview with zakk
thought id share this part of it

ME:Hes not gone for you, is he? (meaning dime)You see him, and you hear him.
ZW:no, no without a doubt.ill never get over it.you know, i got a picture of him on my mic stand.I got his mass card and everything like that, pictures in my guitar room. I love the lord and everything, but my wife goes to see this woman, and she can do the tarot cards and actually tell you everything. Youre going, how does she know? She says, "just tell zakk, 'cause i know hes going through some heavy stuff right now, hell do okay. Dimes always going to be that bird on his shoulder.When zakks in his darkest hours, dime will be there. Im sitting there in the guest house - 'cause we got ten acres and the two houses, so me and you can hang out, have a couple beers and shoot the sh*t- and a bird comes in,just sits on the les paul clock. A bird always on my shoulder. "Dime, whats going on, bro?" Thats it, hes always around, you know what im saying? [grins] He just goes, "Im keeping a lid on you, motherf@#$%!"


that just makes me miss dime that much more
i bet whenever theres a thunder storm..its dime shredding it up as much as possible

R.I.P Dime
