Are there any good bands out there that sound like Pantera?

[CiG]

Actually, if anything some underage Pantera fan is more likely to be caught doing some retarded racist shit than anything I said.

Pantera gets way too much flack on UM. It's just good fun really.

 

[CiG]

They fucking suck.

I think people just want to disassociate themselves with their large redneck fanbase. Dimebag wrote great riffs and Anselmo had a great voice. They are definitely "bro-ey" but they wrote some gems that should warrant some kind of level of respect above "they fucking suck". Then again, that's just like my opinion, man.

 

[CiG]

I have no problem with redneck-ness at all, but I understand that you are speaking more generally.

I just dislike their sterile, over-produced, groove metal neo-thrash shit and I think Phil Anselmo stylistically (as opposed to technically) sucks balls.

I think the redneck sound that everyone keeps talking about is found most on the Great Southern Trendkill, but I heard a little of it on Vulgar Display of Power. Their best album is definitely Cowboys from Hell, but I enjoy pulling out Far Beyond Driven the most.
I suppose that some can criticize the lack of originality from the band - they pulled the sound from Exhorder and some of their best tracks are covers (The Badge, Planet Caravan). But, Pantera at their best is mountains above Exhorder. Obviously it is a little questionable that in the two years between Power Metal and Cowboys from Hell, they switched from glam to tough guys, but I'm appreciating the music, not the people.

 

[CiG]

Exhorder are better.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Cowboys > Slaughter > Power Metal > The Law

 

[EspaDa]

Lamb of God > Pantera

 

[CiG]

Fuck no to both comments.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

No album with Anal Lust can be better than an album with Shattered.

 

[CF87]

Voivod, Pantera use this chord they heard in a Voivod song, even Nickelback uses the chord too.

 

[EspaDa]

Fuck no to both comments.

Why do you hate on LoG? Good riffs bro.

 

[CiG]

Why do you hate on LoG? Good riffs bro.

Riffs aren't the be all and end all for me, but I don't think I've even heard a good riff that stood out to me.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah dude. Perhaps this is up your alley?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I had it in 2014 and I still fucking got it in 2017.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I had it in 2014 and I still fucking got it in 2017.

Yeah, hep C is expensive to cure.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I had it in 2014 and I still fucking got it in 2017.

Yeah the joke sucks now just as much as back then

I love how old this thread is! I really liked what Sign of the Southern cross produced. Unfortunately, they disappeared into the nether. I think the lead singer (Seth Uldricks), who is primary writer, went to jail. But I can almost guarantee if you like Pantera you will jam out to them.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I like Power Metal and Cowboys from Hell has some good tracks. Phil Anselmo had pipes back in the day. Everything after is just macho posturing garbage.
