Members BEMUSofNthAmrca Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Christian might not be much for Pantera, but he gets down with some Silverchair. Israel's Son is his jam, straight up. put your hands in the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members turnip Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Down also sucks.I watched Melvins mop the floor with them. To be fair, Melvins could mop the floor with most bands, animals, forces of nature... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tedmich Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Pantera was an exercise in marketing, not musicianship, and should be regarded as such. How "good" is Kid Rock? $ wise just fine, but musically dreck. They did survive the "grunge" era and sprint to the front of the alienated rural teen boy parade but really just represent a marketing niche the industry has been trying to establish for years: southern fried crap that sends money to LA and not Nashville.

Members Loobs Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 What the {censored} are you talking about? Dimebag was an incredible guitarist. They wrote some great stuff for the genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members houseofglass21 Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Pantera was killer and Dime was a class act and an incredible, if over the top, guitarist. Saw them in 95' and they showed me the very definition of tinnitus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HP Hovercraft Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 I thought Vulgar Display of Power was pretty awesome when it came out. And my metal stage was a few years removed at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Pantera definitely wrote some incredible stuff. I do feel like all of their albums were about 50% filler, but that other 50%.... goddamn. Not my cup of tea in terms of tone, but Dime was one of the best guitarists in the history of metal. Vinnie is a hugely underrated drummer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members humancertainty Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 What were Dimebag's last words? "Hey! Could we get some shots up here?" Seriously, though. I just bought the vinyl reissue of Far Beyond Driven. The second half of that album is pretty great.I have a few friends that knew Dimebag that have always said what a cool and genuine person he was. I don't think the band was a marketing scheme or whatever. And as far as their glam roots go, I'm just gonna say that I'm glad that the music I was writing and playing at eighteen isn't used as a yardstick to measure what I do these days.

Members Loobs Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Well said. I never got the impression that Pantera was a marketing exercise. I think Anselmo is probably exactly as he comes across in magazines/interviews/on stage. Ditto for Dimebag. Some of their music is pretty {censored}, some of it's fantastic though. I find it hard to believe that even the OP can't appreciate that Vulgar Display has some great riffs on it. As a lead player Dimebag was a tremendous talent, too. Really sad how he met his end.

Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 I've never thought of it before, but Ruiner definitely does have a similar vibe to some of the heavier stuff on Frogstomp. Not trolling, I like both Ruiner and Frogstomp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
