Nyle it was a dime squeal, a dive bomb is when you get the harmonic and depress the bar lowering the pitch. A dime squeal you depress the bar get the harmonic then pull the bar up
Pinch harmonics. When I first started playing guitar, I would accidentally make the guitar squeal. Every time I try to play every now and then I would hit a note and it would squeal like that. I tried everything in my power and not do that. Happening because of the way I held the pic and rudimentary stuff. I considered it a bad habit. Anyway, if they're working on it, I finally managed do not do it. Few years later, more and more thrash metal guitarist we're adding that into their playing style. So I attempted to pull off the pinch harmonics, but I did such a great job in not doing it, that I couldn't do it when I wanted to. I couldn't win back then. Darrell Abbott really used pinch harmonics to the fullest. He always seemed to put it in exactly the right place.
Dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch all of the new series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my gf for the last couple of days =)
To me the song is more about the fact that the guy did not fully appreciate the person who died while they were alive.. and the sudden loss of the person left a painful void afterward. It is a very powerful song with a strong message to appreciate those around you whom you love. Peace
And most of all he was the coolest and nicest guy in the world. I remember drinking whiskey with him and the the other guys from Damage Plan in 2004 in Hamburg.
@@cjhall7798No worries, I just thought I'd give you my opinion. And, hey man, the world would be a boring place if we all thought the same. I hope we can at least agree that 'one direction' sucked arse though.
@@prageet9304 maybe, but sadly I'm not blind so I can read stupid comments like yours, The women in the video are beautiful, if you're a asshole that's other thing
Nice reaction. Yep, that haunting, bone tingling high pitched squeal at the end was from Dimebags guitar. Notice how he was following Phil's high pitched singing each time and going higher with it. Amazing ending to a song. This song holds a special place in many metalhead's hearts, as well as of course all Pantera fans. RIP Dime and Vinnie \m/\m/
Yes, the solo is legendary. It will stand as such when even when the endless march of sand turns us to dust and bones. Dimebag will be a God to a new civilization thousands of years from now when all our modern day bullshit is long gone and forgotten. This solo will be the galactic anthem to futuristic beings whose natural speech vocalizations happen to sound exactly like electric guitar.
The story I have heard about the background of this song is that some members of Pantera were close friends with some people that had a suicide pact with each other and eventually carried it out - they changed some of the original lyrics to be less personal and more just a general mourning ballad. Can't remember where I heard that but have heard it multiple times. This song was the bridge between 80's Pantera and 90's Pantera's respective sound/vibe.
What I always interpreted is that he held a lot of pride, guilt, and pain of her dying. His thoughts and spirit are so focused on her death, that he cannot live his life as he should. Passing through the “cemetery gates” is metaphorical that he can leave her to rest in peace while he goes on with his life.
I just thought of something. I watch several different reaction channels. And many love Pantera. If Dime was still alive he'd be watching these as well with a big thumbs up. He was a fan more than just a guitarist. R.I.P BIG VIN AND DIME
Song is about dealing with a loss of a loved one. There is sadness, anger, remorse,... he is in absolute emotional turmoil and mess. She was his world and there is duality all over. Unlocking his world, setting his soul free and passing the Cemetery gates both means passing them on the way out and moving on and considering passing them to join her and doesn't move on. There is also feeling that she was making him a better person ("chance to save my soul") and that he will be worse without her. Rhythm switches to match the emotions of passing trough the stages of grieving. And they did made an official video for this one. It was also on the soundtrack of the horror movie "Demon Knight". That soundtrack is quite impressive, unlike the movie...
It's about leaving away the grief when someone important die. "Believe the Word", a way to accept death, something like this is not the end. Leave the cemetery is leave the grief ant start to by his own. Keep going like that, I love your reactions! Cheers from Argentina!
I think you are thinking of Sweat Leaf by Godsmack And Pantera does Cover of Hole in sky by Sabbath System of a down Does cover of Snow Blind White zombie does Children of the Grave
how i feel about the song - it is about love that turned to hate because his beloved died so he kinda hated her for dying and leaving him lone,the phrases "i will unlock my door and pass the cemetery gates" is about finding himself and accepting the death of beloved and finally being in peace with it and self
This song portrays the emotions a person feels when they lose someone dear to them (maybe their partner or mother): Grief, Reminiscence, Anger and Acceptance. The lyrics portrays how the person feels sad and remembers old memories, then feels angry for leaving them behind, so soon and then accepts their death, like he accepted it and decided to finally go to her grave at the cemetery.
That last note is called a "Dive Bomb" on guitar. The legendary guitarist Dimebag Darrell was well-known for his crazy harmonics and dive bombs. Look up more videos on Dimebag Darrell. RIP.
Mainly about losing a wife or gf and I will unlock my door and pass by the cemetary gates meaning coming to terms with the death and wanting to rejoin in the afterlife
Not it has nothing to do with rejoining in the after life. That's BS that popped up the last few years. Its about moving forward after death hence the chorus.
Nice 🤟 You should check out Hollow by Pantera (one of my personal favorites) Also you should listen to The Four Horsemen by Metallica And check out some live stuff from them from the 80s and beginning 90s
It's the story of someone who lost their soul mate, grappling with loss and regret for things not said or done. Wanting to pass through the cemeteray gates to once againg be with his beloved eternal.
Hey! You still haven't checked out Judas Priest. Try "The Sentinel" for some in-your-face-metal, or "Beyond the Realms of Death" for a song that inspired Metallica to write "Fade to Black".
Knew Pantera, before they became famous right here in the great state of Texas in Arlington and surrounding areas. One of the greatest Metal bands ever. Darrell was one of the greatest guitar players of all time. Pantera is Metal.
I love the impact dime has on people 1who dont realize how tragically he was taken from us fans but to watch so many reaction videos were they say just amazing things about everyone in pantera it established the reasons why i believe pantera can never be duplicated but will always influence every style of metal from now onnnn they all changed metal music 43va
The band had lost 2 friends back to back over 2 weeks who took their lives. The lyrics aren’t specific to that but to honor those friends and grieve the loss. They usually had the melody and guitar riffs written before Phil would slap lyrics down to create the song. #getchapull 🤘🏼
It's a southern superstition to lock the car doors while passing a cementary to keep the spirits away. Hence the lines, unlock my door. I didn't learn that til recently. One of my favorite concerts was Pantera opening for Black Sabbath in 99.
I love the reaction at the end when you girls heard the Guitar screaming! That’s everyone’s reaction lol awesome job! I love how you two girls were at first “this is cool” and the end you felt like you went into some insane trance!
Great reaction to Cemetery Gates from Pantera .Rip Dimebag Darrell and Vine Paul .Saw this band two time .it kick Ass . Both of you are looking very good.
He's sad over the death of a loved one. Feels incomplete without her. Can't move on and accept that she's gone. But now he understands that this mentality is unhealthy for him. He has to accept that she's gone and move forward with his life. "I will unlock my door and pass the cemetery gates" means that he's gonna find the courage to visit her grave at the cemetery and grieve properly, something that he's never allowed himself to do.
Hello ladies, I'm sure I'm not the first one by a long shot but: Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song & Valhalla - Live at Wacken Open Air 2016 2 fantastic songs with a great contrast + amazing crowd work and stage presence at, once again, the fantastic festival that is Wacken.
Dio - stargazer Ozzy Osbourne - crazy train Death - voice of the soul Motörhead - ace of spades Metallica - creeping death Exodus - bonded by blood Iron maiden - fear of the dark Judas priest - breaking the law King diamond - abigai ... thats for begining
I haven't heard this tune for a while, good to hear it again. I have a question for Funwithdee@A Do you guys get along good in real life like in the videos you guys make. Just wondering.
Great reaction !!! My fav guitar solo ever. So he is mourning the death of her lover. The verses reflect the struggle of having to overcome the grievance acknowledging that he should have valued her more when she was alive, b,ut rationalizing that he must go on eventually. In the chorus he just put in words the feeling of wanting to see her desperately, and the only way to do it is by dying ("passing the cemetery gates") , and by that, I don't think he is being suicidal, is just the raw feeling after recently losing someone very loved. And yes the last note was the guitar, mimicking the voice as if it was mourning aswell.
Hey ladies always good to see y'all again, well what can I say I remember when that album came out, that was a really cool selection and again I liked your reaction to it keep on rockin 🤟
7:26 ...My Exact reaction first time i heard it back in 91 . Back when it was "out of style" to use a whammy bar with Pearl Jam & Sound Garden & bands like that new o the scene , which left Dimebag on his own, by himself to take guitar to the next level & he did,
You should definitely check out Pantera's domination live Moscow 1991 Monsters of Rock just to see what they're like live on stage and definitely check out the lyrics afterwards this is one badass song
in the south when you pass the cemetery you generally lock the doors of the car so what he means is that he will unlock the door since he wants her to come to him even if she's dead
A guitar harmonic with whammy bar and octave shifting effects pedal. The song was written for Phil's mother who died. When he says he'll unlock his door to pass the cemetery gates, he means he wants to kill himself in order to be with her again.
