In this episode of "What Makes This Song Great? Ep.70" we explore the music of metal legends Pantera.

#pantera #dimebagdarrell #metal
Pantera was an American heavy metal band from Arlington, Texas. The group was formed in 1981 by the Abbott brothers – drummer Vinnie Paul and guitarist Dimebag Darrell – along with lead vocalist Terry Glaze. Bassist Rex Brown joined the band the following year, replacing Tommy D. Bradford, who was the unofficial original. Having started as a glam metal band, Pantera released four albums during the 1980s. Looking for a new and heavier sound, Pantera replaced Glaze with Phil Anselmo in late 1986 and released Power Metal in 1988. With its fifth album, 1990's Cowboys from Hell, Pantera introduced the groove metal genre, while its 1992 follow-up Vulgar Display of Power exhibited an even heavier sound. Far Beyond Driven (1994) debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. In addition to their contribution to the groove metal genre, Pantera is credited (along with Sepultura and Machine Head) for being part of the second wave of thrash metal scene in the early-to-mid 1990s.

Sorry about the problems with the video! The video is 4K but wouldn’t render correctly and in addition it’s been blocked in a few territories. Watch and share before it gets blocked in more places.

Kudos to pantera for promoting the health benefits of walking

[OlaEnglund]

This is such a great homage to one of the best metal bands ever existed, thank you Rick

[REXBROWNOFFICIAL]

Rick..Big Fan man!! Wanted to say a few things about the video. We tuned down to Standard D minus 20 cents on those old Korg digital tuners!! Also..All those single F notes are all pull ups!! Not triplets..I’d love to be on your show sometime!! Thx for the plug..

"Dime was an original and only an original deserves an original." Damn it, who's cutting onions?

[BurtReynoldsMetal]

My goal in life is now to be at the point where, “ I have a Vinnie Paul snare laying around here somewhere” and it’s not a big deal.

[ScrapPalletMan]

"Only an original deserves the original" that had me in tears man.

[electrical.banana]

No way, Pantera? Yet another reason Rick kicks ass

[neugey]

That story regarding Eddie VH got me choked up. RIP Vinnie and Dime.

[ferox]

As a bassist myself, Rex doesn't get enough credit. Crushing tone, tight player.

[SilentMott]

Dime was one of the only guys who could play as clean live as he did on the album.

[colederosier]

Pantera - the band that found the space where ZZ Top, Van Halen, and Slayer meet...one of the best metal bands ever

[valhalla]

Actually I was hoping it was Cemetery Gates but Walk will do ... “Respect!”

[spewdiepibrawn]

I never tire of seeing Rick's eyes light up when he hears genius in music.

[benhaven]

Pantera was my first show. God i miss real groove metal. no band is like pantera.

[valuedhumanoid]

Pantera is credited for keeping metal alive when all looked hopeless. You had the whole grunge thing going on, but you also had bands like Bush, RHCP and those college bar scene bands that were taking a huge chunk of the music world. Then there was Dime, Vinnie, Rex and Phil who kept grinding out one stellar track after another.

[mariusschepp]

Use this as a „please do cemetery gates next“ button, so Rick can see;-)

[magreger]

I literally got chills when Dimes solo was singled out. Respect

[GolfTool]

Rick Beato, Pantera?

CLICKS and then LIKES...

[sombresanctum]

Just before recording Rust in Peace, Dave Mustaine actually asked Dime to join Megadeth. And he accepted.
But the catch was that he would only join if Vinnie would too. Megadeth actually needed a drummer too, but Dave had just hired Nick Menza for the job, so the deal fell flat.
I can't imagine Megadeth with Ellefson, Mustaine and the Abbots, but I bet it would've been awesome.
