Members J. Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 I like both, although my fondness for Metallica drops off after the black album. Metallica in the 80's = good. Metallica in the mid 90's to the present = not so good. Dimebag absolutely smokes Kirk Hammett in the guitar playing arena though. Hammett isn't even half the player Dimebag was. I'd also take Vinnie Paul over Lars, mostly because Lars is a little douchebag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members B-Bottom Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 I love both bands but Metallica will always be in my top 5. They are the one's who got me into playing music and loving metal. And regardless of what the naysayers say they've yet to put out a weak album. Sure St. anger is probably not their best but when it's still better than probably 90% of the other metal albums out there at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SA Rios Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 15 years ago I would have voted for Metallica, but after all the loads of {censored} they've done since Justice, I had to vote Pantera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members superiorparts Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 pantera all the way. although i do like metallica, i agree with what rockstarbassist said. pantera was more true to their fans than metallica and pantera would actually interact with their fans. metallica is just a three piece of whiney bitches ever since cliff burton died(God rest his soul). i would much rather hang out and party with pantera than metallica any day. i dont see how jason newsted took it all those years. i would have shoved a bass up lars ass after a couple of months.

Members Zeromus-X Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 Originally posted by Ace Of Bass Ouch.Compared to Metallica, I just don't think they've influenced nearly as many bands.

Even today you read articles and {censored} about people who refer back to "Crazy days and nights on Ozzfest for the few years Pantera was on- I've never been more drunk in my entire life!!" Pantera could've gone the commercial/corporate route like Metallica to get more radio play and become MTV-friendly, but that's never what they were about, and am damn proud to say I'm a huge fan of a band like that who could never even remotely be accused of selling out. Hell those guys even talked {censored} about Metallica during shows after "Load" came out. Pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members der oxenrig Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 I love old Metallica, hate new Metallica, and am "meh" on Pantera. I'm not a huge metal fan, and Dime's "solid state no mids" buzzy sound just grates me. He was a fantastic player, and I was deeply saddened when he was murdered, but I still don't like listening to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk's solos get pretty repetitious after a while, and that's why he reached for the wah pedal. Everything since "Black" has featured one since. I can't even imagine it w/out.

Members der oxenrig Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 I never liked Kirk's solos much anyways. Hell, I actually like it better when James (not Jaymz) would solo, like in "Nothing Else Matters." Not overly flashy, but very emotional & powerful.

Actually it is "Jaymz"- that's how he spells it, in his {censored}ed up, alcohol and drug riddled mind! I guess he and Larz wanted to seal the deal they were buddies for life and added a Z to their names... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you missed the "Supernova" thing, I take it??? Turns out that Newsted is just as lame as the other members of Metallica ended up being - maybe even more so...

Members NeonVomit Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 Tough choice. Pantera didn't end up like Metallica though. Still, I love both of them (of course, apart from post Black Album stuff... Load and Re-Load had a couple of good songs, St Anger was just argh). Dimebag wiped the floor with Kirk in terms of guitar playing, and Vinnie is a thousand times the drummer Lars ever was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RIC N BACKER Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 i voted metalica because i know more songs by them. i have far beyond driven by pantera and while it has some cool tunes on it it is too heavy and too angry for me. neither band would be on my cant live without list btw.......... like some one else said, 2 different types of music, hard to say who is better.....

Members obscuridad Posted November 2, 2006 Members Share Posted November 2, 2006 this is like whats better, a mercedes or BMW. How can you deny what Metallica did prior to the Black Album. BUt look at what Pantera was before Cowboys from Hell. BUt I grew up with Master of Puppets, so Metallica will always have a special place in my heart. But Pantera is right next to them.

Members leok Posted January 2, 2007 Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 Lars is the crappiest drummer in the genre. Who else gets worse over time? Jeez buddy, should have gotten a metronome 20 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 82Daion Posted January 2, 2007 Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 I vote Megadeth. But, since there is no BOALG, Pantera will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
