“I’m Broken” is a song by the heavy metal group Pantera from the 1994 album Far Beyond Driven. It was the first single issued from the album. “I’m Broken” reached #19 on the UK Singles Chart, making it the band’s highest charting single worldwide. The song features one of guitarist Dimebag Darrell’s most famous riffs. Kerry King said in a Japanese TV show (featuring guitarist Marty Friedman) that it was his favourite guitar riff.
Here’s a comment from Dimebag Darrell about the riff:
“I’m Broken” was a sound check riff – one of them ones where I’d walk in with a hangover from ripping it up night after night with everyone in every town. That’s where a lot of the best riffs I ever wrote came from. I just played the first riff I thought of, Vinnie started kickin’ in on it, Rex joined in – we didn’t write the entire song on the spot, but we kept toying with it and finally worked on it once we got into the studio.

"The last song of the night is called I'm Broken -- I'm having a good TIME!" Love the Live 101 Proof version. The song's killer from the opening riff and the By Demons Be Driven outro fucking rules.

Great Music. I don't agree with inequality. (see below). I miss all of the smiles and laughs, and positive vibes Darrell brought this world, along with his killer riffs. He will live on through his music, and through everyone's lives he graced. :)
