Pantera

FFS, stop just posting to boost ur post count.

Since the last time this thread surfaced i have got into Far Beyond Driven and The Great Southern Trendkill, albums previously i hadn't liked. Gotta say Far beyond driven is probably my new favourite - just brutal and yet surprisngly melodic, some of the finest riffs i have ever heard - if Dimebag can do it here why can't he do it with Damageplan?

I was posting a real opinion, Izzy, just because the post was short it doesn't mean that it wasn't relevant.

Do you want me to post an essay next time rather than doing it with four simple words?

Yeah, the album is a metal masterpiece.

I don't know what they are up to now but does anyone have any news on the possibility of a new album from Pantera?

I doubt it as they broke up some 4 years ago, forming Damageplan (Dimebag, Vinnie) and Superjoint Ritual (Phil)

Anyone know what Rex is doing now?

[Captain Obvious]

What song is everyone talking about??

What song is everyone talking about??

Woah old thread! Once again, couldnt be bothered to make a new one!
They were talking about Cowboys From Hell Captain Oblivious.

My five favourite Pantera songs are as follows:-

Cemetary Gates
This Love
Five Minutes Alone ( If you cant dance to this track then you have no legs)
Yesterday Dont Mean Shit ( Awesome Riffage!)
Fucking Hostile

As said in the Dime thread, i miss these Mofo's, I read on Blabbermouth a few weeks ago that Phil is getting back together with "Down", however as they are based on New Orleans this has been put back to 2006.
At least that is something....

Top 5 eh.....damn thats so hard, i can't make a list without feeling guilty for not including another song

I will give a special mention to Hollow - the lyrics to that and Dimebags solo.....its really moving

People seem to forget that as well as being utterly brutal Pantera could do incredible lyrics - Hollow and Cemetery gates are a lyrical match for Estranged or Time in my very humble opinion

[R4tfink]

Thats just it, its the whole package with Pantera, they can play heavy, they can play melodic, they can play groovie, they can write, the Rhythm section was tight as fuck and then you have Phil and Dime, 2 of the best of my era at what they do.

Phil blew his vocals out pretty bad though, which is why people seem to think they were shit in 2001 when they played live....Fuck me, at least those guys got to see them!

Agreed about the Top 5 thing, it is very difficult to pick 5 and mine change day to day, i have an ipod that stores 4000 songs, yet i only use 110 of them recently, its all Pantera!

Got to see Pantera twice,

1. September 1997 - Palace of Auborn Hills, Detroit, MI for the official 101 proof tour
2. June 2000 - Copps Coliseum, Hamilton, ON, Canada for the Reinventing the steel tour

I was on the floor both times and I thought they fucking ruled both times. I don't know who you talked to that said they were shit but they don't know what they are tallking about. And sorry you didn't get the chance to see them live.

Favorite 5 Pantera Tunes? (man that is sooo fucking hard to pick, off the top of my head? these I guess)

1. Cemetery Gates
2. Revolution is My Name (wicked wicked guitar riff )
3. Cowboys from Hell
4. I'm Broken
5. Floods (dunno why but I love this damn song!)

Down is pretty awesome too, I will be happy to hear something new from good old Phil, I haven't checked out Damageplan yet but I will get it at some point.

Anybody have news when that David Allan Coe/Vinnie/Dime project is to be released? I'm kinda looking forward to it

Umm, I was actually of the same opinion.

I couple weeks ago i bought the Guitar World Magazine. it had an interview with Vinnie Paul (His first since Dime's murder) and it talked about some unreleased Dimebag recordings.

There are, what were going to be the 2d Damageplan recordings, which Vinnie is unsure what he is going to do with them.

the second set of unreleased stuff was some stuff Vinnie Dime and some Country-blues grass type of musician named David Allan Coe (A favorite of Vinnie and DIme's father). Anyway Vinnie said that they did Hardcore Pantera Music with this Country Guy singing, and it's some of DIme's best stuff ever!! but it has never been released before, cuz they didn't want fans to think that they were doing a couple side projects until PAntera got back together, Cuz apparently PAntera was DOne forever and Damageplan was for real. So the orig plan was, after the second Damageplan album was released then this thing would come out. But Dime died Anyway now the plan is for this thing to be released at some point around Christmas. It sounds interesting to me and was wondering if anyone had heard more on the subject

As soon as I've finished putting these GN'R tunes on my phone right now, I'm gonna go grab my Pantera cd's!  101 proof is a quality live album, talk about on form.  The videos on the greatest hits are unstoppable.

I loved cowboys from hell, that rocked, some of there 80s albums are great also. But some later ones  i think? The singer got into the whole grunting thing, not as bad as slipknot but i preffer him singing. Some great riffs from dime though.

More because he blew his voice out due to excessive touring, overuse and substance abuse.
However, with that being said, Phil still sounds awesome...his voice is deep man, and when he does some of his "Growls" it sounds like a death rattle, like hes bringing the sound all the way from his toes!

As much as i love the cowboys from hell album, WALK is a fucking class song, such power. Its gotten me into vulgar display of power lol.

Normally i hate that style of vocals - but i think Phil did it really well with Pantera - Phil proved it can sound good, its just that all these wanna-be's can't pull it off


---------------------

I bought Down, Down II and Superjoint Rituals first album

I thought they were all really, really weak. The first Down album has the weakest guitar work i've heard in some time and i though the whole album was so uninspired. Down II was a bit better but Superjoint Ritual was god-awful

Why did Phil form SJR when its pretty much the same personnel as Down - did they just get bored of the name?

I thought Damageplan's album was dire too - awful vocals

Some artists need each to do anything right.....

I agree with you on this 100% - They just weren?t the same without each other.

Seriously you didn't like down? I think they are awesome. Definately not the same as pantera but I think it's really good stuff.

I think Down is basically Pepper (CoC) and Phil's band. Pepper isn't involved with SJR is he? Down was treated as a side project and received no support from the label, that's why they stopped. (at least that's what i understand from phil interviews I have read)

I Love Pantera!

Just one thing to say!

FUCKING HOSTILE!!!!
