ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?!?! At around 2:55 I say "this must be a mega hit! I recognize that flow on the hook!" or something like that. But I couldn't have told you the name of the song, band, what they're saying. etc.! Glad ya'll enjoying the vids! If you want extra content OR even to guarantee I react to a song you want, consider joining Patreon.com/RobTV! But watching on RU-vid is more than enough. LFG!
I discovered my neighbor really really REALLY hates when I play my bass outside. I make a point of playing Pantera, Megadeth, & Type O when I know she's home & her corgis are inside. I actually like the corgis...
On December 8, 2004, Damageplan was performing at the Alrosa Villa nightclub in Columbus, Ohio. Nathan Gale, a deranged fan, rushed onto the stage as the band played the first song of its setlist and shot Abbott multiple times with a Beretta 92FS, a 9mm semi-automatic pistol. The band's head of security, Jeffrey "Mayhem" Thompson, then tackled Gale, but was fatally shot in the ensuing struggle. A fan, Nathan Bray, was also killed as he attempted to aid Abbott and Thompson, as was Erin Halk, an employee of the venue who tried to disarm Gale while he was reloading. Three others were wounded before Columbus police officer James Niggemeyer entered the club and shot Gale once in the head with a 12-gauge Remington Model 870, killing him
Everything about that day was incredibly tragic, but for me one of the worst things was the fact that his brother had to watch it happen and then continue on living his life. The only silver lining is that now they're at least together again.
This is the first song of pantera I heard when I was a kid, I was hooked immediately and they are still my favorite band of all time. I actually watched the Pantera 3 home video that had all kinds of music videos and backstage antics
Ah yes Pantera, the godfathers of groove metal!! With Dimebag Darryl on guitar, and his brother Vinny Paul on drums. RIP to both. Now you need to watch DOMINATION, live from Moscow. The breakdown is so heavy it crush you through the floor. Also, Cemetery Gates, and Cowboys from Hell.
@@HollywoodRobTVbro, there’s like 900 million reaction channels at this point, and you are EASILY one of the top 5 for me. You’re doing everything right in my book.
@@HollywoodRobTV Exactly. Like, it was great as it started, but peppering in the video clips and stuff to enhance it really makes a difference. You’re not overdoing it, which is important 🤘🏻
He wrote this song to his friends back home in Texas who were hating on the fact they went mainstream, so he was like go kick rocks we're doing our thing!
1) Dimebag is the White HoF..... period 2) With your animations, I'd love to see you react to Lorna Shore To The Hellfire, the whole song would be hilarious, but the end would be legendary!
My most favorite band of all time. Saw these guys numerous times throughout the 90s, the Best Decade Ever. Periodt. There are a number of other songs you could react to that are fire. Cemetery Gates, A New Level, Hollow, Cowboys From Hell, or DOMINATION. Pantera originated from Arlington, Tx by founders & brothers Vinny Paul & Dimebag Darrell, may they both RIP. Phil Anselmo... Vocals Dimebag Darrell.... Guitar Vinny Paul.... Drums Rex Brown... Bass
If you used to watch ECW, this was the theme song Rob Van Dam used to come out too. When this was a new song in 1993, I saw Pantera with Armored Saint live at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia. It was the wildest show I had ever been too!
Saw em a couple of times in the early 90s. Iirc first time was at the Tampa fairgrounds w biohazard. When this song kicked, the entire floor turned into one giant pit😯🤘
I saw em’ in 97’ at the electric factory, 98’ at Ozzfest. Then again in 01’ at the First Union Center that last show was rough though. Phil’s voice was blown out and you could tell he just didn’t want to be there.
I saw them support Megadeth in Dublin in 1992. The crowd went absolutely crazy, permanent pit, surfing, 40 mins of so of pure energy. Megadeth could not compete, they were boring!
Kids discovering early 90s music makes me grin . You just remember, this is now nanna music... lol This hit the metal culbs when i was in my 20s and it still thumps! 🤘rocking it in the car to the grand kids now.🤘
I wonder if that's where I heard this hook! Fun fact: me, my dad, and brother snuck back stage at Smackdown and briefly met RVD lmao. Chill af. I was like 11 or 12
@@HollywoodRobTV it was his song in the og ecw. Back then shit was wild. No fucks were given. My friend was a huge ecw fan and we went to all the shows around our way. We smoked blunts with rvd, played football with the dudley boys, and even dropped acid with new jack. Fun times!
I was a bouncer at a lot of “Gentleman's Clubs” that were all owned by the same owners. Whenever we had to throw someone out the DJ would play this song... brings back some good memories.
Rob Van Dam used Walk as his entrance theme on old ECW because Paul Heyman couldn’t be bothered by Copyright Laws he actually used it on TV and Pay Per Views too. WWE had to go through the trouble of putting generic music over everything which is a real problem because New Jack’s music was always playing when he was in front of the crowds.
Bro I seen a fuckton of Pantera reaction vids & my man yours by far is the best 😂😂. Love that energy homie. Pantera is my go to gym music, gets ya pumped asf. Keep the content comin brother. 🤘RE-SPEKT🤘
I got to see Pantera live in Saint Louis back in 2023. It was a great concert. Though i would have liked to see them with Dimebag Darrell (lead guitar) and Vinnie Paul (drummer), Zakk Wylde (lead guitarist to Ozzy Osbourne) and Charlie Benante (drummer of Anthrax) were great and honored Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul.
The first time I ever heard Pantera at all. 1990 Pantera opened for Primus. When I saw these guys playing their Cowboys from hell stuff...I was hooked. Couple years later Vulgar display comes out and blew my eardrums. I'm so glad I can say I got to see Pantera live with Dimebag and Vinnie
At around 2:55 I say "this must be a mega hit! I recognize that flow on the hook!" or something like that. But I couldn't have told you the name of the song, band, what they're saying etc. lol I've heard that hook/flow in hella places I feel
I am proud to be old enough to have seen these guys play live on 4 separate occasions and they were always the best show. I take it you heard by now that this guitarist was murdered on stage, it was such a sad story. If you want an expert recommendation I would go for "Drag the Waters" its a really sick song and a truly sick story being told in it.
@@HollywoodRobTV He redeems it with a song later in the album called "Rise" which is about all the races coming together to rise up against the forces that hold us all down.
RIP Rashad 🖤 One of my best friends growing up loved getting amped up to Pantera before going to parties where he'd do freestyle rap with a bunch of others. Sadly he got shot by someone while I was in Texas trying to get a band together out there for nine months.
Rest in peace dime bag, bro this video was awesome, you would totally into it and loving it and then when Phil says walk on home boy, The look on your face and how you got up and squared up I fucking lost my shit laughing dude, awesome video.
Do cemetery gates with the full intro, when it drops from clean distortion it is one of the most solid riffs imo. Very sad song,powerful lyrics, it's about him mom dying. After that slaughter to prevail "viking" STP will not flag your reactions, they want their music out there. New single drops in 7 days called conflict, it's literaly a battle cry from the most amazing voice in metal while two russian MMA fighters beef in a cage in the background, so metal.
This is the initiation. You have been born again hard. This band absolutely slays. 💯 insane. This is some throw down and beat ass kind of shit, brother. Nobody better. Enjoy.
Check out "Eyes of the South", "Stone the Crow" or "Bury Me In Smoke" too! Pantera is hard AF. Oh and "Cemetery Gates" is another classic - along with "Walk" - but it really highlights the lead singer's vocal talents.
The "walk on home boy" at the end was in reference to the subject/subjects of this song... a 16 year old boy and his dad, the son went to a show and entered the mosh pit and got himself injured. His dad karened out commonality their shows weren't safe and tried to get them shut down. Running his mouth to the media, but refused to talk to the band, despite multiple invites to address his concerns to them directly... all the Context you need although mostly from memory a this incident was many many years ago
Watching you reminds me of why they are my all-time favorite band. The over-the-top attitude is infectious. R.I.P. Dime & Vinnie. I love those Abbotts like my own blood.
Bro FINALLY , u back on that ROCK HEAVEN SHT, do the LIVE CONCERT of DOMINATION in MOSCOW by PANTERA.. 🤬🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🫡🤟 and do CRITICAL ACCLAIM by AVENGED SEVENFOLD also LIVE at the LBC .. more 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏💪🤬
haha, one of the greatest reactions i've seen anywhere :D its great when you react to something you like, i dunno why people suggest stuff you obviously aren't gonna like. if you want something in the same vein of aggressive, rythmic metal the most extreme example i can think of is Strapping Young Lad - All Hail The New Flesh, i think it will blow your mind, something more accessible/melodic but still kicks ass Big Wreck - Ladylike.
YT suggested one of your videos to me and I ended up binging the whole playlist. Your reactions are so genuine and contagious, I really love your energy. One of the best things of this whole series was you finding out how many good lyricists there is in rock in general, but also how you do not hold back at all when you don't like something. I just think there's a lack of female vox/bands. There's (still, smh, in the year of our lord 2024,) a lot of stigma and prejudice at women/queer people in the scene, even tho it should be all inclusive as the lyrics themselves often say. Off the top of my head the ones I can think about is, for a much more aggressive style, OTEP and Walls of Jericho, and for more mellow/pop punk/pure rock, the classics Bikini Kill, Distillers and Hole, then the more recent The Bombpops, Meet Me @ the Altar (this one has a black vocalist) and Pinkshift. I'm definitely eating up anything you post to this list tho, it's extremely enjoyable! Thanks a lot for it, it made my night :)
Love watching him freak over Darrel’s guitar playing. Definitely one of the top two or three players n history. Rip dimebag. Even Eddie van Halen bowed to him. At Darrel’s funeral Eddie walked up and placed his guitar in the casket with Darrel
That guitarist IS in the hall of fame. Dimebag Darrell, they used to have “gutarmageddon” which was a guitar contest and they quit letting him compete and he became a judge.
One of the Greatest heavy metal bands of all time. I was lucky enough to not only see them a couple times 1996 And 1997 but actually get backstage with these badass mfers
Dime was so good,after winning a local guitar competitin so many times in a row that they wouldnt ket him enter it anymore but made him the judge of the contest. He was just a teenager then but was he was that good.
Cemetery Gates is 🔥. Dimebag and his brother are both buried not far from me in the Dallas area. His brother was a hell of a drummer too. Very talented musical family. Check out Hell Yeah if you want to hear Dimebags brother. RIP to both legends.
dude their whole discography is pretty much perfect, i recommend Hollow, Domination, 5 Minutes Alone, Floods (great solo on this one), 10s (same with this one too), Slaughtered, and Hard Lines Sunken Cheeks
Welcome to my high school days! I was introduced, as a little band nerd, by a headbanger in my sophomore history class and I got introduced to them by the album Vulgar Display of Power and the song was Fucking Hostile and it’s a badass song as well. RIP Dimebag and Vinnie🥃
On the one hand, I'm always amazed at what you haven't heard in music. On the other hand, I REALLY want to see you do a deep dive into the goth/industrial scene one day!
Just a point of clarification, I worked in places where hearing these pieces was common, and repetitive. So I'm aware I simply had the luxury of regularly being exposed to it by environmental factors. Of course, after you've heard something for the thousandth time, "luxury" doesn't seem like the right word anymore...
Been a fan since 1990 but I finally got to see them live in Nashville in 2024. Life happens man. Best concert I've ever been to by far. Sick! Go see them if you can
