Pantera was capable of showing their audience they were a great band from the very beginning, but when Phil Anselmo entered the band, they introduced a new trend within rock music, which was the so-called Power Metal genre. That was the responsible one for making the band reach higher during the golden years of hard rock.
A guy i was seeing took me to this show in 1989, i was only 16 & my first time to hear Pantera & first time at Joe's Garage!!! Damn how i miss those days...
POWER METAL is such an under rated album, even by the band them selves, Phil still tries to deny it exists, probably because he can't face the fact he used to be the best high pitched vokill singer ever, ok, not as good as halford, but he ruled.
I still prefer him over halford cause he's a complete vocalist. Scream, growl/gritty/clean ballad singing? No problem! And Power Metal is what made me falling in love with Pantera, probably the 1st their song I ever heard. 2:10 what's that? A Slayer song? Cause I remember Dime and Kerry noodling around at a backstage in some other video and it was so funny how Kerry or Dime couldn't get it quite right
Haha. Dime. Basically kicks a dudes ass right there on the stage. That dude is probably deep into his fifties, with his little grandkids at feet, "Grampa? Will you tell us again how Dime kicked your ass while he was on stage doing a Slayer cover with Kerry King? Thats pretty fucking awesome, Grampa"..
I expected better, he does his lame "toughguy" vocals here when it doesn't fit the song at all. he's versatile enough of a singer that he can do things besides the "Pantera style."
