Pantera - 5 Minutes Alone (Official Music Video) [4K Remaster]

Official 4K remastered music video for Pantera - "5 Minutes Alone" from 'Far Beyond Driven' (1994)

Stay In Touch with Pantera…

STORY BEHIND THE SONG (from Vinnie Paul): There was a guy in the front row in San Diego who was heckling Phil Anselmo (vocalist). Phil finally had enough, so he incited the crowd to jump this guy's ass and beat the sh*t out of him on the spot, so he sued us. And when his dad called our manager, his exact quote was, "You just give me five minutes alone with that Phil Anselmo guy and I'll show him who's big daddy around here." Phil's response was, "You just give me five minutes with that cat's dad and I'll whoop his ass." That's where that song came from.

What ever genius decided to film the strings up close deserves an award. I remember seeing this video when it came out. And even today, watching those strings vibrate and bend is one of the coolest film shots ever.

[andrewkenseth]

One of the best gym songs ever. Massive amounts of iron lifted to this.

[andrewmacconne]

that riff at 5:06 to the end of the song is so unbelievably badass, it’s like the whole song builds to that 50 seconds. i always wish it lasted a little while longer

[srmitch]

Pantera could easily be the best metal band of all time.

[FallouFitness_NattyEdition]

This masterpiece is still just as fresh as it was 30 years ago.

Are we not gonna talk about how damn good this video quality is? This was made in the 90s and looks amazing!!

[bebopalloobop]

The final three minutes are a metal masterclass

[LordGeyBoi]

The riffs in Panteras songs are so simple but sound fucking amazing

[jeramygauthier]

54 years old and still listening to this awesome band!

[kevinfaber]

Rex is definitely an underrated bassist. Proof is when Dimebag is shredding his solo and Rex's bass is thundering through it.

I'm new to Pantera, but I'm absolutely in love. I love the close ups on the instruments.

Fun Fact: This song was written about a fan at a particular show that was flipping the band off the whole time to the point Pantera had to stop the show to confront the guy. He ended up being jumped at the show by other fans which led to lawsuits, the dad of the guy reached out to Pantera's managent, and asked "just give me five minutes alone with that Phil Anselmo guy" This is how Phil responded, and the rest is history.. 🍻

[albertvasu]

Rex Brown is so under rated...he's a killer bassist

[disintegrateallhumans]

That coworker you hate
That neighbor you can’t stand
That relative you can’t escape
That fake friend you have
This song is for them.

[ethansaint]

24 years later, this is still brutal as hell... Pantera were the Kings of Metal!

[Thisisbellamisr]

One of the best riffs I’ve ever heard in my life

[JulianSeider]

One of the most timeless metal songs ever. That riff is an absolute classic
