It goes back to both our parents listening to outlaw country. I like lumps in my potatoes!"

That was his third favorite guitar player, after Ace and Edward. DID HE TALK ABOUT HIS ADMIRATION FOR RANDY RHOADS MUCH? THERE'S SOME GREAT FOOTAGE OF DIME DOING A RANDY RHOADS TRIBUTE DURING A PANTERA SHOW IN DALLAS BACK IN 1988.

It cost ten grand, and we'd never owned a piece of furniture that was that expensive, so I told him throwing fireworks near that couch was off limits. It was so soft that when you'd sit on it, you'd pet it. We'd just got this really killer couch from this place in Fort Worth - it was real bull hide. The one exception we did have was the sofa in the den. I'm not sure how he always managed to pull that one off. He maybe slightly burned himself here and there, but nobody lost a finger or an eye. You might have a small blister pop up on you here and there, but usually not. He was really lucky about not hurting anybody. THERE'S SO MUCH FOOTAGE OF DIME LIGHTING FIREWORKS INDOORS AND THEN TOSSING THEM AT PEOPLE. So we gave him a big thank-you in the credits for taking it to the next level. Where do you think it came from?" So he confirmed it, which I thought was real cool. Johnny himself told me, "We all watched the Pantera home videos. It's funny because later on, after Darrell's death, I ran into Johnny Knoxville at this tribute thing for Merle Haggard. So he loved Jackass - he just wished they'd asked him to be on the show! Dime was a huge Evel Knievel fan when we were growing up, and we used to build all these obstacle courses out of furniture and cushions at my cousin's house when his parents would go out. They were real daredevils who brutally hurt themselves. And like he says, they took it to the next level of what he was doing. 2, DIME IS TALKING ABOUT THE SHOW JACKASS AND HOW HE FELT HE HAD STARTED THE TREND OF VIDEOTAPING STUNTS WITH THE PANTERA HOME MOVIES.

Sometime last year, Haney dove into Dime's extensive A/V vaults again to assemble the forthcoming Dimevision Vol. Released less than two years after Dime was gunned down onstage in Columbus, Ohio, Dimevision featured hilarious and heart-wrenching video clips of Dime's boozy antics and virtuosic performances both at home and on the road - all culled from hundreds of hours' worth of home video tapes dating back to the mid-Eighties.
