Every time I watch one of your reactions, the first thing that comes out of my mouth is "I love this guy!" I just love your enthusiasm and how joyful you are when you experience the music that shaped my life when I was a young man.
thanks man really appreciate that glad you're enjoying the content and thanks for the comment always brings me joy to know you guys are enjoying the vids!
That guitar player is the greatest guitar player in music history. Dimebag Darrell Lance Abbott, a absolute legend and guitar god who was murdered on stage. Rest in peace dimebag Darrell. Gone way too soon.
I don't get why ppl say this other than he died..... there's no singular greatest. There's to many insanely good guitarists out there that are better at certain aspects...... dime was no doubt a great, and the best known at the techniques he frequently used, while being insanely technical, but just the same, there's other insanely technical guys who've mastered numerous other techniques that dime didn't use enough to have have mastered on the same level, even if he could do the same stuff well, if he tried. Then there's the guys who could play his stuff with ease these days, that dime himself influenced to pick up the instrument and evolve it, similar to Eddie circa 70s and 80s. See Ola Englund and some guitarists he mentions for example. I loved dime, but don't like to see outrageous claims, that even these guitarists we idolize shoot down, and believe me, dime is an idol, and I wish I had a quarter of his ability. It's not as ridiculous as 94, when Cobain, who influenced me to grab a guitar, magically became the greatest guitarist to millions, but for all his greatness its still a ridiculous to call dime or anyone else the greatest. Besides, if there is a greatest, it's likely someone we never heard of, unless it's in the songwriter category, because from a technical standpoint, being far too technical usually equals a product that is devoid of life and unlistenable.
This performance is so metal! Its in Moscow and the military was literally in the crowd beating kids with batons while they were moshing! They had never seen anything like that before! The crowd chanting during the breakdown always gives me chills!!
Domination....the Godfather of all breakdowns! Pantera is an absolute legend. I was into metal since few weeks only, dealing with Metallica and Iron Maiden...and "Vulgar display of Power" from Pantera came out. My life has changed forever, same as I discovered Jinjer few years ago. Dimebag was probably the best guitar player of his generation, and probably of the next ones too.
They played live for many years before they got famous. They were already a well-oiled machine when this album came out. I think that's why a lot of people love this performance. They are just so tight, pretty much zero sloppiness.
This was a legendary concert in Moscow in 1991, Pantera, Metallica AC/DC where there were 1,6 million people and Pantera played in front of approx 500 thousands people. Metallica also have a video from this concert from the song called 'Creeping Death'. Wish I were there 🥲
Rip Dimebag and vinnie, I never tire of watching this performance and when the breakdown drops if you don’t bob your head your not human😂 hey you need to check out Alien weaponry, I saw them support Gojira and they were unbelievable. The song Kai Tangata is right up your street…choppy choppy 😊
Dimebag was truly one of a kind, so was his brother Vinnie (on the drums). They both had the habit of showing up at various clubs around Dallas, usually together, and Dime would hop up on stage and play a song or two with whatever band was playing that night. Legends. RIP, brothers.
Epic concert, was in Russia after the Cold War, Metallica was there with them, there was something like a million people there, one of the biggest concerts in history. And that guy on the guitar is Dimebag Darrell, one of the biggest legends in guitar playing.
One of the best metal performances in history, truly, this song and plenty of others on mandatory playlist rotation, and randomly so you never know when the aggro will hit you, might be in traffic ~ Dime Forever!
Thought you might like that - insane crowd also. Pantera was the loudest concert I ever went to, loved it. Their album 'Vulgar Display of Power' has a picture on the front of someone getting punched in the face - seems appropriate. LOL
Hello from New England..I was 19 when this concert went down...It was all over MTV when it was still MTV...This is Dime Bag's best solo IMHO 🤘✌️It was estimated that there were over a million pll at this show
This was at the Monsters Of Rock show in a Moscow airfield, shortly before the fall of the Union in 1991. There were almost 2 million people there. When they had run out of tickets completely, admission was free, you just had to show up. Unfortunately Dimebag Darrell, the incredible guitarist, had passed away in 2004. He was shot on stage by a "fan". His brother, Vinny has also passed away in 2018 from disease. He was the drummer.
Pantera are the godfathers of Groove Metal. This song comes from their 1990 album Cowboys From Hell, which was heavily inspired by thrash metal bands of the time (their earlier material from the 80s was more glam/hair metal material), but subsequent albums showed Pantera developing their own distinct style. If I had to pick a favorite album, it would probably be The Great Southern Trendkill from 1996.
Man I wish I could go back and witness Pantera for the first time again. Been 20+ years since I first heard them, and to go through that discovery again, and realise all over again how Dimebag is the fucking GOAT, would be incredible. Just incase no one else here has mentioned it, that right there playing the guitar is Dimebag Darrell, one of the most revered, and rightfully so, guitarists in all of metal.
Welcome too the Pantera monster of heavy in your soul of what you never knew was in you. I had the blessing privilege too see them live 6 times. Incredible experience of a life time. 🕯💯🧨💥🤘🏻🤘🏻
This is an essential "reaction" video. My friend, you've just witnessed one of the most epic performances in metal history. And one of the hardest breakdowns. Pantera saved metal music in the 90's!! They're a huge influence on many of today's heavy bands
Saw them with Tool, back in the earlier 90s, and then ended up going to Ozzfest 2 days in a row, and catching Pantera, Static-X, etc, for 2 days. Yup. Being in a Pantera crowd was everything you imagine it would be.
Oh yeah ,getting into it now my friend .5 minutes alone ,cowboys from hell,Walk,becoming,shedding skin .I loved watching your eyes just open up when Dimebag gets it at 6:40.enjoy this ride too .
There have been bigger crowds for sure. Not in Russia. Not smack dab in the middle of the fall of a world superpower. Not in a country where this music was outright banned and all those people weren't even supposed to know the songs, much less be singing along. And the crowd estimates range from 1.5 million to up to 6 million. Literally nobody was counting because at a certain point, tickets and head counts became irrelevant
Just came across your channel and loving your reactions and absolutely love that you've experienced the mighty groove metal that is PanterA!! RIP Big Vin & Dime 333 CFH!!
My first concert ever back 1994 was Pantera. Been hardcore fan ever since. Incredible live without a doubt. Some of their other songs I think will meet your criteria would be "Walk", "F***ing Hostile", "5 Minues Alone" and my personal favorite and there a live video from this same performance. "Primal Concrete Sledge".
That is legend right there. Pantera changed metal when it was without a true course, no clear way forward. Welp, this charted the course unapologetically and decisively. Hail kings, the new kings, stronger than all. 🤘
Kyuss ,Motörhead,Mother Love Bone,MC5 I saw Pantera live in 92 at the Masonic Temple here in Toronto. One of the best loudest shows I’ve ever been to. Only band who was louder was Motörhead who’ve I’ve seen numerous times over the years. RIP Lemmy,Filthy and Fast !❤🤘🏻🤘🏻 RIO Dime and Vinny ❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻
Nice to see Pantera on your channel... Also waiting for youu reaction to Sepultura... They're on the same era of Pantera, Slayer, Megadeath... And many others...
Yes, the forefathers of groovy chop!! This is a rabbit hole worthy of getting lost in. Cemetery Gates, This Love, F*$%ing Hostile, Floods, Great Southern Trendkill, I'm Broken...pretty much pick anything and you can't go wrong.
I loved watching your face Melt when the best guitar solo of all time drops into the best breakdown of all time. I got chills watching you react to that my brother same way I did the first time I saw it. Fuck yeah
1.6 million people in that crowd in Moscow just after the fall of the soviet union. Check out metallicas live songs from that show too. The guitarist was later shot and killed onstage by a deranged fan in front of his drummer brother.
