Pantera, maybe the best band in the world

Personally I've never listened to that much Pantera. I've got CFH but wasn't too fussed with it. Should really check out some of their other albums I think. I can't deny that they've had a massive influence on metal and metal production though.

Floods has the best outro ever. not even in metal. any genre. best outro. anyone disagree?? didnt think so.

This I'll agree with, love that outro.

I have kicked the shit out of asshole who have talked shit about Pantera, Dime, Vinny and Rex. I have been in more fist fights over Pantera then I have been in guys gawking at my ex-wife. Now that should tell you something.

All that tells me is that you're some macho twat who thinks it's cool to kick the shit out of people who have a different taste in music than you. I would be disappointed to see that kind of behavior from a high school kid, but to hear about an adult acting like that is just sad.

He ain't "kicked the shit out of" anyone until we get the promised pics of his pornstar new-year's party :lol:
 
Best concert of their career .


14 years old. Still one of the most important events of my life

When some guy walks up to you and says ....

Im Glad Your Friend Is Dead .....

Trev just shut the fuck up cunt, seriously. Just cause you are to much of a pussy to kick a mans ass doesnt mean "violence doesnt solve anything". Violence solves everything, its why war is so popular.

Is it right no of course not. Is it necessary, Fuck yes it is.

I will not have some slimeball talk bad about my friends, especially when they are dead.

america, fuck yeah^^

sorry man but that statement is stupid.
So far I only got violent when I was physically attacked.
For the rest you have to deal with in other ways, else you're not any more usefull than the cunt in front of you.
That's hard of course, but THAT is necessary.

anyway, since my prior comment wasn't really full of information:

I got into Pantera only shortly before Dime got shot, like 1 or 2 months. Was a real bummer, but made me dig into it even more then I allready had.
My fav album was and will alwas be VDOP. None of their other records come close for me. CFH is 2nd, followed by FBD. Not huge into the rest, but those 3 get a regulary spin.
I think "Mouth for War" is my fav Pantera song
fuck yeah.

edit: hm now seeing my fav album and song the comment towards you jason seems kinda weird :lol:

I'm glad you caught that before I had a chance to say something :D hahahaha

Anyway ... fan since CFH came out. Saw Pantera on CFH tour, opening for Exodus & Suicidal. Met and talked with Phil briefly before the show. Very nice dude, very short, and yes VERY talkative but the crown for onstage banter easily goes to Mike Muir ... hands down

only did one bad album and unfortunately it was their last but everything before that (Powermetal is the cutoff for me) was awesome and I have many great memories with that band as the soundtrack

No need to call me a cunt. And someone saying "I'm glad your friend is dead" is a totally different situation, and I can absolutely understand you getting violent over that.
Can't say I agree with "Violence solves everything, its why war is so popular." though. War is only popular these days because it's profitable.
 
Sorry, didn't read the whole thread (don't care), but it's not even close to being the best band in the world, of course. BUT, Dime was one of the best guitar players out there, not because of his shredding abilities, but because of his licks and compositions.
 
I don't understand the hating on Reinventing the Steel. I thought it was a good cd. Not their best, but still plenty good.

Now before the thread degenerates into arguing about political poo I would like everybody to calm down join hands and sing joy to the world.




P.S. If you don't love Pantera your whole family will die horribly of the Ebola virus. Twice.

This video just depressed me. There is no band that can take control of a crowd like that anymore. I cant think of one??? im not even talking metal. in all of music, there is not a band that has literally every single person in the palm of their hand like that. that is truly something special.

Slipknot.. think what you want about the band, but they completely dominate their audience.

I'd have to throw Amon Amarth in the running for this. I only saw them live once so don't know if its the same for every show they do but this one didn't even have the fucking viking ship onstage and the place was packed and just all levels of insane
 
don't get me started about pantera....

Without pantera I would still be playing come as you are by nirvana on guitar

Haha :)

They're the band that really got me into metal/aggressive shit, before that i was just into Nirvana/Pearl Jam.

If i had to keep one band in my life that would be them. I'll never get bored with their stuff.

Pantera is and probably always will be the BEST metal band on earth. I too take offence to anyone who calls them "overrated." That's total fucking sacrilege.

End thread.

Bobby

+1 haha

On a side note, i love CFH/VDOP/FBD, but my favourite is TGST by far. RTS was great but had a few "just decent" songs on it, and the rest was killer. The Live 101 Proof live album + unreleased tracks is FACERIPPING.

They're the band i've listened to the most in my life, closely followed by Sepultura, Slipknot, Merauder, Down and Pearl Jam.

I was really bummed the day i heard about Dime's death (i was in class being bored and checking metal news and was shocked learning the bad news).
I missed one opportunity to see them live when i was like 15 and i'm gonna regret it all my life. I wish i had seen Sepultura during the Max Cavalera days also (but i was really young at that time anyway, would have been difficult to make it) ...
