Phil is a mean dude. He was an amateur boxer too and there's tons of stories of him getting into scuffles in the early days of Pantera. I saw him and a security guard go at it at one of their concerts mid performance, but the other security guards quickly broke it up. Most metal bands try to act "metal," but there's no acting with these guys. Pantera were definitely about that life. Also, Phil and Layne Staley of Alice in Chains were really close, too.
Vinnie and Dime were not like that at all. They were the nicest guys you could ever meet. They were always great hosts and wanted everyone to have a good time with them. They were gracious, kind and considerate and were wild. Vinnie was a client of mine and I got to party with them back in the day in D/FW. They were at shows for local bands all the time they were in town. They considered themselves music fans that were lucky to be popular. EDIT:I never noticed this before but in this video Dime is wearing a Tattoo Bar t-shirt. That was Vinnie's bar/tattoo parlor in East Fort Worth. LOL It was a cool place to drink.
Pantera and Metallica both started in 81, but Pantera didn't become PANTERA until the late 80s. They played glam metal, because it's what was popular in the clubs in Texas at the time, and they weren't really worth giving a shit about until they changed singers to Phil, who was into more real metal, and started getting them on that track.
That was because Dime and Vinnie loved Kiss and emulated them at first. They grew up on that glam 💩 so it makes sense. Not gonna fault them for that, but I am glad Phil came along and changed things up 😊
Oh hell here we go..Hands down one of the best Pantera songs. Got my kids loving Pantera from a young age that was important lol. Could you react to This Love by Pantera next. 🤘 RIP Vinny Paul and Dimebag Darrell.
If you do react to it makr sure it is the full version, there is a version of This Love I saw another reaction channel react to and a whole section in the middle of the song was cut out. ✂️
Same here. Got my kids on a certain music level before the gd pop world got their dirty hands on their eardrums…love to see them jam to actual good ass music.
Idk the band didn't like or understand how they got that label or liked it. Pantera is real heavy metal with smart poetic lyrics, soul in it. The band only calls it heavy metal, it's just true, non commercial style even tho they went mtv 💰. Who doesn't want their music reaching many anyways, respect and so good it should meet the world. Rea shit here bro, me, been a fan since 94' easy best metal band ever 💯
Phil is actually a real cool dude. The times I hung out with him on some of his Down tours, he was so cool and loved to share music talk. He's a big boxing fan too
Phil seems like a big sweetie, though. He's always laughing and joking with people, he's generous with his time and money with charities for kids and animals. He bailed his bud Mike IX outta jail and let move in with him after Katrina, and helped him raise money when he needed an organ transplant. Maybe he's just mad in his music. Like he said in mouth for war, the releasing of anger can better any medicine under the sun. He could kick ass though, I bet. He's really into boxing.
That is probably the most important, ground-breaking, even genre-defining break in metal history. Always consider the age of this song. There wasn't anything close to that before.
Didn't they start out as southern rock or something like that? Or is it RHCP that I'm thinking about that began as something much different than what they later became known for? Lol I need to check wiki!
Fun fact. The lead singer Phillip Anselmo wrote this song after an interview he saw about a pissed off dad who was mad that his son listens to this band and he was quoted by saying "if I could just have 5 min alone with this Phil Anselmo guy I would mess him up" or something along the lines of that. (Correction) It wasn't the fact he was listening to the band i guess he got beat up and his dad blamed the band and filed a lawsuit.
It was a fan that was being an ass. Phil got the crowd to beat his ass basically and he sued. Then the kids dad called the manager. Then as Ellesar said.
Rex Brown on Base, and backup vocals. And I think half of pantera played together before the other big 4, since they are brothers. The Abbot Brothers, "Dimeback" Daryl Abbot Guitar, Vinnie Paul Abbot Drums. Iron Maiden was just metal (rock + distortion pedals for guitar) , visually Hair metal.
Hi guys, I am re posting a commentary that is more adecuate for this situation: Pantera has a clear thrash influence in their sound especially starting in the 90s with their album Cowboys from hell. The two previous albums have a more traditional heavy/power metal sound to it. They could not be classified as a totally thrash band because of their groove sound that helped them differentiate from thrash bands in the 90's and practically create a new sound that was coined groove metal. To be fair, you could say they are a groove/thrash metal band. To answers a couple of your questions, Pantera started later than Metallica and other thrash bands. No, Iron Maiden is not a thrash band, they are a Heavy metal band, that pioneered the New wave of british heavy metal (NWOBHM) sound, of the late 70s early 80s.
That part of the film clip at the end of the solo, where Dime hits that whammy bar and all the guitar chords bend and flow up the guitar neck like a wave...iconic, up there with the hair bun thing in the Judith film clip by A Perfect Circle...
I think Pantera is one of those bands you can't really pigeon hole to one style/of metal, they have largely grove metal but with thrashy parts, melodic parts, classic metal parts etc. Their sound was pretty unique to them at the time thanks to Phil and Dime. Many metal bands today adopted the same style, a mix of everything usually with one main over arching framework that identifies them
I think one of the most insane Pantera songs is "The Great Southern Trendkill". I expected heaviness when I bought that album of course, but it totally caught me off guard. Perhaps I shouldn't have played it during work in the home theater department of Circuit City, lol
Yes it is. And Dime used his whammy behind the bridge instead of in front a lot of times. So to "dive", he had to pull up on the bar and the strings would go loose and dead.
Вы, парни, одни из лучших слушателей Pantera!) Всё чисто по делу, никакой нелепой и глупой болтовни, а одна только правильная и верная реакция. Мои вам аплодисменты!)
You guys look like you were having more fun than usual making these videos! It's all these fantastic bands you've been reviewing lately! I could never imagine life without music! MUSIC IS LIFE! 🤘🏻👨🏻🦲👍🏻💖🎶 You can be sure I'll be here to watch every video you two drop! You really do have the best reactions!!!
Always loved the view of the fretboards while Dime and Rex played in this song and that chonky riff, Chad Fortune was one half of Tekno Team 2000 with Erik Watts (Son of promotor Bill Watts). Iron Maiden was one of the bands from the NWOBHM New Wave of British Heavy Metal which greatly influenced Thrash
Welp, time to do some more Lamb of God then! Lets do "Momento Mori" You guys have been missing out! Trust me. So many other songs too, but this one came out right when pandemic hit and the video and lyrics just hit hard! When he screams "Shut it down" Part is 🔥
@@chairmanofthebored6860 While this is 100% fact! I think this song is a good song that they are guaranteed to like! I think they've only done Redneck so far and this would be a great 2nd song for them to start the rabbit hole
White Zombie is definitely Groove Metal, they used to tour with Pantera back in the 90's, they went into a more electronic direction towards the end but if you want a classic groove banger check out. White Zombie - El Phantasmo and the Chicken Run Blast-O-Rama ... And good luck playing your name game with that one.
2 songs I rarely see requested are The Sleep (chill but still hard af) and The Badge (pure banger), so I am throwing those in for consideration.🤤 Love the content and keep doing what you do gentlemen.
Very cool...I saw PANTERA in 1995 a d in 1999 on OZZFEST...GREAT SHOWS BOTH ALTHOUGH PHIL WAS HAMMERED DURING THE OZZFEST SHOW...GREAT PICK...PEACE FROM THE NORTHEAST
Pantera had 4 albums in the 80’s the first 3 were with Terry Glaze on vocals and they played a more Glam metal style and started rounding out their sound with The first Phil album Power Metal. The Terry Glaze era albums are Metal Magic, Projects in the Jungle and I am the Night. Also they had another previous vocalist in the earliest of their days Donnie Hart. Terry was a second guitarist before assuming full vocal duty before leaving in 1986 then they tried several other vocalists that year before finding Phil
The guitar player and drummer were grooving together so well you’d almost think they were brothers or something. R.I.P. Dimebag and Vinnie I would consider Devildriver to be an awesome Groove metal band as well. Lamb of God and Machinehead are a couple of my favorite bands.
You guys were talking about what are some big names in Groove Metal besides Pantera. I have a good one for y’all. Crowbar, and their song “Existence is Punishment”. I used to listen to them religiously back in the day. Fun fact. Phil Anselmo really dug them. Even wore a Crowbar shirt in the music video for Pantera’s “I’m Broken”. Love your stuff guys. Keep being rad. 👊👊❤️❤️
Iron Maiden are part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) movement from the mid to late 70's and into the 80's along with such bands as Judas Priest, Motorhead, Tygers of Pan Tang, Def Leppard, Saxon, Diamond Head ...
Nostalgia haha my old.man in some ways helped me in skool cause when a new album would come out A I was to young and B so I could be the first one with the album hell yea dad rip
You gotta react to this love off pantera's previous album! It's probably their best song. You should also listen to the album version not the music video, the music video cuts out the first breakdown
I think you guys are one of the best reaction channels out there..I was with you from the beginning on tool tuesdays...you have reacted to all my favorite bands..my only suggestion is you two need to do a little research before each reaction. Time frame and what album would help you. Just my opinion..other than that keep killing it 🤘
They actually moved from glam metal to more agressive style when Phil joined the band and ride the lightning from Metallica was released. They changed their image (aircut and dressing style). Then with the release of cowboys from hell and then Vulgar display of power, PanterA gave birth to groove metal then other bands fallowed like machine head for example. But Pantera originally came up with this new original type of metal.
They got their groove from being from the south, the hung around the guys from Eyehategod. The southern, slower, sludgey/doomy, blues based sound came into their sound. They started power/glam metal, went thrash, then continued to infuse more southern influence and groove as they grew.
It's funny you bring up the cooking thing because there's a youtube cartoon called "Cooking Hostile" and it's basically a cooking show with Phil and he sings (yells) recipe instructions to your favorite Pantera classics. It's pretty great.
Lol, these dudes started out as a Hair Band at first before they came to their senses. The pictures of em from around the time of their first release are hilarious (compared to what you'd envision of em now). I've got their first release around here somewhere.
Hardcore Hak was the Sandman's ring name in WCW. Think that lasted a year or two. This was after he left ECW for a little while. Pantera actually formed the same year as metallica. But they wouldn't be well known until about 89 or 90. Original sound was more glam metal or glam rock with the big hair. In fact, Darrell was nicknamed Diamond Darrell because he idolized Van Halen so much. So much so that when Darrell passed he was buried with one of Eddie's guitars.
Bro you guys gotta do Strength beyond Strength from Pantera, been listening to it daily for the past two weeks and every single time its got me headbanging and going crazy. Such a crazy hype song🔥🔥
Pre Cowboys From Hell era was definitely not Thrash at all. Was lucky enough to see them twice in the early 90s, made the front row too. Hands down the best live band I've seen. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
He (Phil) actually got into a legal battle with a fan and his dad after the fan got injured at a pantera concert. Phil told the dad I want five minutes alone with you. True story
Pantera was never really thrash. Oddly enough they began in the mid 80s as a glam/hair metal band with a different singer. They switched to groove metal when Phil joined. And Iron Maiden was power metal. Thrash tends to be faster and use the polka "boom chic boom boom chic" drum beat played quickly.
when I was 14 years old, this shit never ever left my walkman, and when it did it was to put Vulgar Display of Power in....Pantera was for sure the soundtrack to my teenage angst
Another great Pantera song is Floods. It's one of their most unique songs. Another great thrash band is Sepultura. I'd recommend their track Dead Embryonic Cells.
Get your Pantera Groove on then. Other deep grooving Pantera choices - “Regular People” , “Mouth for War”, “Piss”, “Drag the Waters”, “Primal Concrete Sledge”, “Revolution is my Name ,”. These Pantera groovers will make your head bounce Guaranteed!
I'm sure some people have already commented on this and some have probably told you partially correct stories. there was a kid at one of their concerts just standing there flipping them off or some stupid s*** like that and a bunch of the fans roughed him up a little because they're Pantera fans and they're rowdy. The father then called the manager and said give me 5 minutes alone with Phil and essentially the manager told him you don't want 5 minutes alone with him. Moral of the story is don't go to a heavy metal concert and piss the fans off
Alright so picture this. I was 12 years old. Helped a friend of my buddies mum move house. He had a big box of VHS and since he heard me playing metal while helping move his stuff, he offered me a tape. It was Pantera 3: Watch it Go. To this day, "I'm broken" and "5 Minutes Alone" get me goin in a way most other metal doesn't. 100% that experience shaped the way I listened to music. Pantera has been a favorite since then and likely always will be
Dime was the reason there is even a genre they call Groove Metal, his style was so distinctive he created a genre all by himself. Before him no metal bands had that groovy style of hard aggressive lead guitar riffs. He was such a strong guitarist in an era where other thrash bands had 2 or 3 guitarists building a cutting edge with guitar riffs that were either ballady or just raw, rip your face off screaming solo's passed from guitarist to guitarist. Pantera owned any stage they performed on, and if they were opening for your band, you better bring your A game or you wouldn't be headlining that tour for long! R.I.P. Dime, Vinnie, you are missed, every day brothers.....
