Former Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul has revealed that his late brother Dimebag Darrell Abbott used to write all his guitar riffs while using the bathroom.

He only found out when he visited his bandmate's home and found recording gear in the smallest room.

Paul tells Loudwire: "He's got so much stuff, man. One of the things people don't know about Dime, he had a guitar in his bathroom.

"I went in his bathroom one time and I was like, 'He's got a guitar, he's got his little tape recorder ? what's that doing in here?'

"I said, 'Dime, what's the deal with guitar in the bathroom?' He goes, 'Man, that's where I write all my riffs. That's why my riffs are the shit!?'
