Dimevision Vol. 1 DVD Certified Gold By Newsferatu, Writer Wednesday, July 12, 2006 @ 9:03 AM
Big Vin Records, owned and operated by former Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul has their first gold award to hang on their big, bad Texas walls.
Dimevision Vol. 1 That's The Fun I Have has been certified Gold by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) meaning, well, it's the real deal.
Dimevision was a labor of love made in collaboration with Vinnie, Dime's
lifelong "Babe In Arms" Rita Haney, Red Ezra and Bobby Tongs. In the studio,
the house, the closets, under the bed, in road cases, suitcases, boxes and
more sat miles and miles of videotape from years on the road, off the road,
off the hook.
Featuring segments of Dime and some of those closest to him, "DimevisionS"
is a glorious legacy of one of rock's greatest guitarists and most colorful
characters.
Released on May 2, 2006, Dimevision debuted at #1 on Billboard's DVD
chart. Big Vin's simultaneous CD release, "Rebel Meets Rebel," featuring
Pantera's "Cowboys From Hell," Vinnie, Dime, bassist Rex Brown and vocalist
David Allen Coe debuted at #2 on Billboard's Indie chart.
For those who¹d like to shake his hand, Vinnie will be onsite in Austin this
coming Saturday, July 15, 2006 at Emo's Lounge the 2006 Summer NAMM
convention. In what appears to be the only "open to the public" event during
the convention, Emo's Lounge will play host to the incredible and most
awesome "Six String Masterpieces" Dimebag Darrell Tribute. SIX-STRING
MASTERPIECES is a charitable fine-art exhibit of DEAN ML Guitars that have
been hand-painted, illustrated and sculpted by many of America's favorite
rock musicians and tattoo artists. These world-class artists have donated
their time and talent to this tribute by creating original works of art on a
guitar with the encouragement of curator Curse Mackey.

When contacted while on business in Las Vegas with the golden news, Big Vin
domo Vinnie Paul was quoted as saying what he says best when it's all good,
"KICK ASS."
