"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. 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 favorite guitar riff.
Dimebag Darrell commented 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.[1]
The song was released as downloadable content for Rock Revolution. It will be a playable track in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock
