In This River

Here's what Zaak said about the song - "The river is a metaphor for life in general, all the bullshit that you deal with from being a kid growing up. The whole thing's just about life and death."

Oh yeah, and to the guy who was bashing people for always saying "R.I.P Dimebag," I just want to say I understand you're frustration, but dude, do you know how many people practically worship Dimebag, how many people will be worshiping him when they eventually hear their first Pantera song, how many people actually still remember seeing him play live? You'll be hard put to shut all of them up, I can tell you that. And why shouldn't we pay our respects to Dimebag? Those of us who are learning metal guitar owe a lot to Dimebag for being a major influence on us, or at least most of us do. I think it's great that so many of us metalheads, hard rockers, and general music fans want to pay their respects to a fallen brother in arms.

Although, I will say, you make an excellent point about Chuck Schuldiner. He was another one of the greatest guitarists ever and he also died a tragic death at young age. The thing that you have to respect about about Chuck is that he was essentially the father of death metal, and also a pioneer of progressive death metal, but he does not get the credit he deserves as a great guitarist. A lot of that probably has to do with the fact that death metal and progresive metal are both badly underrated and under represented genres of music.

Love you Dimebag :') My here :') Return If Possible :'(

Its a great shame awesome guitarists like Chuck Schuldiner do not get recognition. He wrote some awesome riffs and songs.

R.I.P. Chuck Schuldiner R.I.P. Dimebag

This is a great mellow thinking song if your troubled you just listen and it helps you think. This song is about a death i think and how you miss some one plus it is dedicated to Dimebag Darrell By Zakk Wilde a lush song

I love this song, especially the meaning it has.

i love this song, brilliant, Zakk & Darrell rock!

I think this song is awesome. I think that Pantera should reunite even if its just to put out one more album or a tribute tour to Dimebag Darrell. The video to this song is awesome to. I used to not like Black Label Society but after I heard this song I started listening to more of their music.

R.I.P Dimebag Darrell

This is an amazing song. To the guy that told Zakk to work longer on his shit,what's the point? This song is raw, emotional and straight from the heart. GIving it more production would just suck out the feeling.

Well, this song I'd say is about losing someone. Zakk didn't write it for Dime because it was written before his death, but as soon as he listened to it after Dime's death, he knew right away that "In This River" was going to be his tribute to Dimebag.

this song pens a wonderfully sad picture in my mind, it is a true tribute to dimebag (r.i.p.)
