Of course it can be overwhelming, I used to watch Darrell every day and marveled at how amazing he was at handling it, but I wish there was more of that in Vinnie. She added: "I wish Vince was more like his brother when it comes to welcoming new people into his world, instead of feeling strapped up or that it's a problem or an inconvenience. Obviously I had resentment to Rex and Philip because I had to watch Darrell trying to save his band. But when you go through something like this, you want to lay blame somewhere.
The person who did it did it, and no matter what reason the killer - if he was still alive today - could give to justify that, it wouldn't change anything. No matter what ever happened, nobody did this to Darrell. In former PANTERA bassist Rex Brown's memoir, "Official Truth, 101 Proof: The Inside Story Of Pantera", Haney said: "My line has softened over the years since Darrell's death, probably because I feel an element of forgiveness and a desire for everybody to get along. But the relationship got even more acrimonious when Vinnie indirectly blamed Philip for Dimebag's death, suggesting that some remarks the vocalist had made about Dimebag in print just weeks earlier might have incited Dimebag's killer. Vinnie and Anselmo have not spoken since PANTERA split in 2003. Haney in 2011 called on Vinnie Paul and former PANTERA singer Philip Anselmo to settle their differences in honor of Dimebag, who was shot and killed by a crazed gunman while performing with DAMAGEPLAN at a Columbus, Ohio rock club in December 2004. He was the most driven person I've ever met and that I've ever known." He was just that guy that he stood in front of that mirror, even before he played - like Vince used to say - and just pose with the guitar, and go, 'You're ever gonna learn to play that thing?' But he did. But, yeah, I would say watching him do Big Wheel Skateland and then, of course, he played the talent show at Junior High, and just coming into his own was just amazing. Until later on, I'd look back and go, 'Yeah, he had it then.' He was just born with it - just special. There was just something… I mean, I probably didn't know it then, but I knew there was something. Even though I pushed him off his bicycle when I first met him, we just became friends - he was just that person that you wanted to protect and shield and take care of. 'Cause he was still that kid that was funny. And even then, before he even knew he was going to play guitar, and we had just discovered KISS, you still, when you met him, you knew there was something special about him. I remember the first time when we met, we were eight years old and we were in third grade. Speaking about Dimebag's evolution as a guitarist, Rita said: "It's crazy. Late PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott's longtime girlfriend Rita Haney was interviewed by Heavy New York at the Ride For Dime charity event and concert on August 26 at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey.
