I think Rex is a classically trained musician. He even had a scholarship that he turned down. This was 1 time in life where not going to college with a free ride was the most correct right thing to ever do!
@@virgboogie No what I meant is he had a free ride for college like a scholarship. Rex is awesome he can play in ANY band! He turned down paid college tuition to be in Pantera!
Little did he know by the time 2012 or so hit, he would be the yoga industries biggest influence. Actually if you dig deeper, you find that Vinnie invented yoga, although you wouldn't be able to tell from his appearance.
@Primus Ahh back when you could take drugs, make edgy jokes, have fun and not be on the police wanted list, and alcohol was cool and not frowned upon by the elites.
Partying like that ages you faster. And well... RIP.. really I think had Dime not been killed in 2004, I don't think he would have made it through his 50's either the way he drank. But then again you never know.. I know Rex is in such bad shape now that literally if he has another drink, he's gone too.😥
I need to make a hard core Pantera fan page we can all geek out on everything Pantera, Who knows what footage or stories we will read or see. The last fan on RU-vid was writing a impromptu script wishing there was a Pantera Comic Book. I can so imagine that!
We were so lucky that was what we grew up on! I rather be in my 40s and look back on all the fun we had without social media or cell phones everywhere. If you wanted to go somewhere you had to call the place and ask for directions. There was no staying home vegging on the computer, watching unlimited channels on TV/Internet or a cell phone to entertain you .If you did have a cell phone it was $300-400. a month. There was no sitting around you had to get out and entertain yourself. I always had so many more fun things to do it was non stop back in the late 80s/90s!
5:13 Phil telling the future of Pantera. Indeed He will OD and need an ambulance, They will have lot of trouble and the last Pantera show will be in Yokohama, Japan 2001.08.26
Dude....Trouble is the name of the band they toured with. Trouble released their album Manic Frustration, and Pantera toured some overseas dates with them in 92
Jajajajaaa yeah.... i thinks he's just toying with him. The interviewer wants to get answers, sentences and def not: yes.... no.... that's right...... kind of words. Like Rex they're messing around.
Damn I miss this show. And the years also. So many memories of hanging with the small group of our long haired metal head 'cheap booze drinking, weed smoking, cig smoking, super Nintendo and Atari Jaguar/Panasonic 3DO game playing, blasting music from thrash metal to death metal, partying in the forest with a good fire burning, standing in a circle to puff puff pass the weed' FRIENDS. Miss those days. Life was easier with very little responsibilities except working maybe a pizza job or a factory job, then getting off work to come together again, til early in the morning, almost Monday through Monday, every night just enjoying life. Living and working on 4 to 5 hr sleep just to wake and bake, work, then party. Once a year get some whippits, lol. Absolutely miss those days. Early 20s. Life was boss.
I was 14 when this aired. What a great year 1992 was. Miss it. I remember hearing about how crazy Pantera pits were from people that saw them in Fresno.
Ahhh, fucking brilliant! I had seen a tiny clip (a few seconds of it literally) of this interview in a headbangers ball documentary a while ago, i knew it existed but didn't know anyone had it! This is a rare gem and perhaps the last unveiled Pantera MTV interviews out there. Thanks a million!
In my opinion, with hindsight being 20/20, Pantera was/is the heaviest band I've ever heard. Sabbath being before them...and I say Sabbath because you have to take into consideration their first album. That came out at the hight of the hippy flower power era. I'm sure those first few albums scared the shit out of alot of tripped out acid heads. But for my generation no band touches Pantera for sheer power and heaviness.
Fuck yeah. I mean, I love, not like, but love every song on every album they made... There's no other band I can say that about. I've enjoyed all songs on other bands album or two, but not every song on every album. Prayers is the best band ever!
I wish i was born in the late 70's early 80's to be aware and conscious that this even happened. Ive probably wouldve been at venice this exact day they filmed this
Yeah you missed a great Era when thrash, speed and death metal came out. Brutal (kick ass) times. It was totally metal, man. (can't believe I remember that. Metal. As an adjective. Instead of "man, that's so cool/awesome /fire" like today, back then us metalheads across the USA would play a good Maiden or Slayer riff on our air guitars with the solo of a great song or new album, or whatever amazing thing would be, "Dude, that's so metal.", usually accompanied by a hand holding up the "devils horns" and headbanging for no reason for a few seconds (cuz you weren't metal without that, lol. Guys all had long hair, wore flannels under black leather motorcycle jackets with a pack of Marlboro Reds in one pocket and maybe a $20 dollar quarter oz of bud (Marijuana) in the other (a $45 to $55 quarter oz was the best, top shelf bud, btw) in many circles) Life was just laid back and amazing. Though every person's "decade" is the best to them. Rose tinted nostalgic sunglasses, but it's okay. Memories of great times no matter what. Oh, don't feel too bad about not being born in the 70s to experience the mid/late 80s and early/mid 90's. You'd be early to late 40s and early 50s now ;)
I saw Riki last week in Sydney Australia in a spoken word tour. He was so cool. Now checking out all these old videos to see what he was all about. We never got Headbangers Balls here in Australia. Horns up 🤘😈🤘
I love that Pantera were such good friends with Soundgarden and Alice in Chains back in the day. I loved all three bands but no idea that they all hung out in the early 90s
lol, look at the guys all bashful and uneasy in from of the camera. Noteworthy are also all the bands that i've never even heard off, who's videos are being played!? Phil's prediction of things to come was spot on, trouble and ambulances... Feck how things turned out miserable in the end...
Phillip H Anselmo he was like the Robb Flynn of Music TV presenters. He styled himself on what was seen as “cool” at the time... there was even a “Nu-Metal” phase...
Monster magnet, NEW band body count, Pantera, Rollins Band...good days. HBB showed you whats worth buying or listening to back then. Whats the song at 3:30?
4:32 was that a real Texas band at one time or was Dime just fuckin with Rikkine? Cause I can't find anything resembling that band name to come up on Google or the metal-archives.
Do you reckon i could still write to them and tell them what I think of the new HBB. Hell maybe the vote line is still open and could vote for a track to be played ?
