I dont like Damage plan..or Pantera all that much for that matter. But my sister bought Dimevision yesterday..and i watched it..and all i can say is mad props to those guys. They have fun.

Pantera was another one of those bands that opened doors for me into better realms of metal.

Damageplan would have been nothing without Dimebag. They'd just be another typical alt. metal band.

Cowboys from Hell through and including Great Southern Trend Kill are my favorites.

I read the first page back in the day with a smile rememberin' dime and ****. Then without even realizing got down til' later after he died and my heart just sank. Then as I read it was fight after fight...come on guys delete that **** and fight on another thread. This is Dime's. Damn I'm bummed

Cowboys from Hell
It Makes Them Disappear
Flood
10's
**** you
Walk
Thirteen Steps to Nowhere

I like Pantera more than Metallica.

Does that make me a bad person?

Hell no it doesn't make you a bad person. Pantera is a legend. Well so is Metallica but they sold out.

my favorite album from Pantera is Far Beyond Driven. VDoP was really good, but i don't think FBD gets enough credit as it's them really starting to use the groove elements in their music.


and yeah, it's ok to like Pantera more than Metalica :)

I can't believe I didn't know they released 4 albums prior to CFH

yeah, that was before Phil Anselmo joined the band, when believe it or not, they were originally a glam metal outfit.

That's funneh'. I hope Dime shaved.

Hey, I`ve just come across this thread and without doubt Pantera are one of my all time fav metal bands and albums like "A Vulgar Display of Power" and "The Great Southern Trendkill" would always make high positions on any all time fav metal albums list of mine. As for best songs, its a hard choice but these came straight to mind:

Cemetery Gates
Fu**ing Hostile
This Love
Goddamn Electric
Walk
A New Level
Hollow
Psycho Holiday
Drag the Waters
The Art of Shredding

If you look at some photos from their glam metal era, they all look very girly.

Yeah...

They would make pretty good drag queens minus Vinnie of course:laughing:

LOL at that pic, forgot about that

Throwdown are IMO turning into Pantera

Pantera - offically the greatest metal band to get drunk to, ever.

Are you talkin' to me?
Are you talkin' to me?!?
No way, punk!!!

Pantera
 

What do you think of them?

Personally they're are one of my favorite metal bands.

Overrated, basically thrash at half the speed.

^ In other words, groove metal, and that's just their 90s material. They were actually a glam band at one point in the 80s, but they gradually made their music heavier as the 90s drew closer.

I like alot of there stuff actually, I like both their glam/80s metal era as well as their groove metal era. Power Metal is one of the best metal albums ever in my opinion.

I just browsed them on wiki, and all of them looked so ancient. sorry, but in a band, you need to have a single person whose marketable, physically. or none will appreciate them.

That is why they were one of the biggest selling metal acts of the 90's? Troll on.

Pantera is one of my favorite bands.

proof or i'll assume you just made that up

I'm not too worried if you believe it or not. You are obviously capable of using the internet. Look it up yourself if you want the proof.

There's already a thread here:

The search function is your friend :)

You might also want to explain a bit more why you like them.

Really!!! What`s so ancient looking about a metal band from the 90`s? Why does one person have to be marketable, they`re a metal band and not a boy band!!!

As Buzzoven said, they`re one of the biggest selling metal bands of all time (a fact) and Dimebag Darrell one of the most revered of metal guitarists. In Phil Anselmo they had one of the most impressive and distinctive metal vocalists ever.

No you don't. If you have a good understanding of music you will know that good musicians and passionate performers who really care about their art no matter what they look like will make people appreciate them, and what's more the people that do appreciate will appreciate them far longer than any throwaway pop artist.
Dimebag and Vinnie Paul lived for music and that was what made Pantera so popular.

they must be popular only in your country, but not international

I can't believe what I'm reading. If you don't know anything about something, why write about it?

Cowboys from Hell but Far Beyond Driven is a close second.

They were one of the most popular metal acts in the USA, also in my country the UK as well! Anybody that I know from other parts of the world, that`s into metal knows them as well............maybe the Philippines has an isolationist policy on metal music.....or maybe you`ve lived a rather sheltered life...........or as the name suggests, your`re virginal in when it comes to music.

troll on. Not knowing Pantera, Billy Joel, or Kurt Cobain makes you either a troll or a complete moron.

Strange that there's an official Pantera thread, but not Official Metal Discussion thread..

That would be a little broad, eh? That's what this whole sub-forum is for.

haha - agreed - unless they're from some remote community in Greenland (though I would think that Nirvana would be iconic even there)

wut

Pantera?
 

Are they seriously still doing concerts without dimebag?
What about new music, have they done anything?

No. They are quite broken up. If you need something heavy with Phil Anselmo singing, may I suggest Down? Better band than Pantera anyway.

Pantera Fuckin' A

Watch out for your cornhole bud.

What's a cornhole? is this American slang?
