trendkiller's talking shit. the real reason dime wore that necklace is because the razorblade is the internationally recognised symbol of the Association of Sadomasochist Southerners. Dimebag was an honorary patron of the society following his participation in the 1978 A.S.S 'brawl-for-all' in Houston, Texas. The event was Dimebag's first exposure to the heady heights of fame, after he dismembered the most gimps in the inaugural 'Cut the Cock' competition. Dimebag always strenuously denied any involvement with the association, but leaked videos that have surfaced online show him participating in lewd acts with amputees.
Dime's association with A.S.S appears frequently in popular culture. For example, 'Mach 3' was his safeword whilst partaking in S&M, and the popular men's grooming company Gillette cashed in on Dime's later success with rock band Pantera by releasing a razor line incorporating his famous catchphrase. The heavy metal band Judas Priest also reference Dime's legendary debauchery on their album 'British Steel.' The front cover depicts A.S.S's logo, the razor blade, and it is believed by many that homosexual frontman Rob Halford was an avid fan of Dime's work in his S&M days, with rampant rumours still circling that Halford 'bottomed' for Dime in a low budget pornographic film in the mid-80s.
hope that clears things up
