KNAC.com recently caught up with SKID ROW bassist/co-founder Rachel Bolan. The following is a brief excerpt from the interview:

KNAC.com: I know Snake (Sabo) was good friends with Dimebag Darrell, and Dime's induction to the Rockwalk is May 17th. How were you influenced by Dime?

Bolan: "I was influenced by Dime the person. First of all the way he is with fans, is like no other person. Dime would get out of bed with a 104 fever to go take a picture with one of his fans. That should be the parameter that we all treat our fans. I have never seen anyone treat their fans better than Dime. As far as music, the guy was just a genius with what he did with the guitar. Any musician that doesn't realize that is just not listening. He was without a doubt one of the most creative people that I have ever met in my life. Whether it was on his guitar, or song writing, or him with his stupid ass video camera that would be in your face. You couldn't even take a piss without him shooting (laughter). Then he would ask you the questions. But that was what made Dime so special. He was one of those guys that would do anything for you. It is such a great loss to music to not have Dime around anymore. I am sure he was just scratching the surface with his talent. Just not to see where it would go from the point he got killed is horrible. It was a great loss, but we have his memory and music to listen to. That has to be enough. He was just a really, really special person. PANTERA toured with us for a while with, Slaves To The Grind. It was our first major tour, which was awesome. They were there for most of the tour. Then we brought SOUNDGARDEN for three weeks. He would watch us every night, and we would watch him every night. After that we stayed in touch a little bit, and went to see him play in Dallas. He was just such a great dude."
