Pantera "Cowboys from Hell: 20th Anniversary Edition" due September 14th

[Caveman Ninja]

Dimebag was an awesome guitarist but I'm no fan of Pantera, even though nowadays it's obligatory to like them because he's dead... they had a few cool tunes, but only a few. As soon as Phil stopped singing and started grunting... meh, no thanks...

Groovehaters... BEGONE! *casts fire spell*

 

[Caveman Ninja]

*Elemental defence* FUCK THE GROOVE!! *runs*

 

[D.Ingram]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

I'll be honest, I ain't even a fan of groove as a genre but Pantera did it well.

 

[Caveman Ninja]

Probably true, but for me that's like saying that someone has done the best turd Some are better than others but at the end of the day it's all shit!

Im just a fan of the post power metal Pantera. Their first 4 albums were cheesy power metal and then they got awesome on CFH. Dime's guitar tone was awesome and he still had so many cool riffs to give us. People call them overrated but I don't see any other motherfuckers trying to do what they did beside Lamb of god who I never could get into. They definitely had their own brand of metal, and a successful formula it was.

 

[D.Ingram]

Thatpisses me off - Lamb of God haven't got shit on Pantera. They play a different style of music, maybe bar NAG which was a good groove record, and bar NAG and Burn the Priest they're utterly dire. Randy Blythe is a terrible vocalist.

The only reason newfags tie their name to Pantera's is because Redneck has a very Pantera-esque groove to it, despite the song being rubbish.

 

[metallicdistort]

I never fully understood the comparison between LoG and Pantera

 

[D.Ingram]

It's just something to hook the kids basically. Comparing Lamb of Wdge to Pantera is like comparing Miley Cyrus to Napalm Death

 

[Alteredmindeath]

They are both southern bands, so the rednecks love that stuff. But yeah, LOG ain't got nothing on PANTERA.

 

[metallicdistort]

Does that mean I can now compare The Beatles and Carcass? Both scousers

 

[dethCR07]

Dimebag was pretty good to me. But I gott say that (as with many other guitarists) I didn't really appreciate the man's talent after seeing him in concert (not live and face to face, unfortunately). Watch this, you'll see what I'm talking about.



And it's not like your supposed to worship him because he died, it's not the case with many people...

In other news, what about Damageplan ??? What did you guys think of it ???

 

[D.Ingram]

Dameageplan was sadly a bit shit. Some good songs (I still think Pride is a decent song) and a fair few great riffs (Save Me in particular) but ultimately... dross. Which was a disappointment for me, even when I first heard it upon its release

 

[dethCR07]

Pride kicks ass, I love that one, always gets me pumped ! Gotta love that one ! As for the entire record, I say regular at best, it took an entirely different direction than what we were used to.

their going to fucking compare the 2 bands so deal with it and move on with your life.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

After PANTERA Dime was as if he was outta metal fuel, because Damageplan was aimed for more watered down radio friendly asskissing like Vinnie's shit pop group HELLYEAH. I really wonder sometimes how metal Vince really is because he hasn't done shit for metal since the rerelease of CFH.

 

[D.Ingram]

So he hasn't done shit for metal in the last week?

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Excuse me, can you be more specific sir?

Specific enough?
