/fucking pantera thread/

I like faggot metal, but not pussy metal, unless its pussy doom metal. That I can dig, but faggot metal is better in my opinion than normal metal.

Far Beyond Driven>Vulgar Display of Power>The Great Southern Trendkill>Reinventing the Steel>Cowboys From Hell
Fite me.

Everything Pantera released after their glam stuff is easily among the most masculine, hype metal out there. All that stupid blast beat shit forgets about the concept of impact so it doesn't sound as hard hitting thus just doesn't go as hard.

glam is fucking garbage and Pantera wasn't even one of the better hair metal bands

DU DUuuUU DU

i fucking hate that they just repeat that same riff for the whole song

>Everything Pantera released after their glam stuff is easily among the most masculine, hype metal out there
Have you listened to this yet? Makes Pantera sound like Chuck Schuldiner in interviews.

Interesting, cuz I don't

imo nothing elevates a metal song better than a really good transition from one riff to another. pulling out a real heavy riff towards the end is guaranteed hype

amen I think the transitions are probably more important than the riffs themselves since great riffs smashed together don't sound good and even simple riffs can sound amazing when they flow into each other

FBD=GST>>>>CfH>>rest

More like planteara

Dimebag is in Argentina now, they cant hide the TRUTH

They're kind of a guilty pleasure. It's such meathead music and aggressive, but it also works well. I blast them occasionally especially when wasted.

Southern Trendkill > Cowboys from hell > Reinventing the Steel > A vulgar display of power > Far beyond driven

Glamtera was the shit on "Power Metal'

Power Metal>Cowboys From Hell>everything else is the fucking same dudebro braindead bullshit except for the Planet Caravan cover

Pantera almost killed metal for good, faggot.

>Pantera almost killed metal for good

not who you were replying to but how did they do that?

>how did they do that?
They're a predecessor of metalcore and nu metal

Uhh that's a retarded point to make. You do realize, "alternative" which is what was big was basically code for "anti metal", right? Okay, now that you've been told that, consider the fact that Pantera was screaming FUCK ALTERNATIVE on MTV and waving the flag for metal proudly and without shame, even when the only other big metal band, Metallica, was trying to BE "alternative". That aside, now consider the point that metal was fucking dead in the mid 90s, and was a bad word, it was uncool to be "metal"
>b b but death and black
Gimmick shit nobody cared about or took seriously and none of those bands ever went beyond small club level, irrelevant, they were dead the whole time despite any controversy they got in newspapers, and they were meant to be

Nu-Metal, was what allowed bands who were about to be fucking forgotten and considered dated cheesey relics of the past like Maiden and Priest and Motorhead, to suddenly be elevated to a grandfather status by the early 00s. These bands were not cool in the 90s, they were hated, they were not selling much, and the music they were making was lambasted by fans. Nu-metal helped save metal even if just became it made the term "metal" cool to kids again which got kids interested in the bands who started it all as opposed to hating it all which was the goal of "alternative". Think you retard.

tl;dr, you're triggered as fuck though

quality post fag

>They're a predecessor of metalcore and nu metal

i can see an argument being made for metalcore evolving out of panteras sound but i dont think its fair to blame them for some cringy nu-metal bands ripping off their riffs.

>These bands were not cool in the 90s, they were hated, they were not selling much, and the music they were making was lambasted by fans.

REEE SPECT

And Pantera were cringey for slowing down thrash metal and adding edgelord GET OUT OF MY FACE, [insert authority figure here] lyrics

i thought it was cool when i was 12 though.

>doubt.jpg
Okay, take a look where Motorhead bills here....literally beneath Limp Bizkit, now compare that to where they would bill anywhere in the 00's on a metal fest. They become top tier after being "that old band"

Also, just an example because Motorhead has always been a weird band, consider Maiden and Priest, they had zero hits in the 90s, in the 00s? Brave New World was big for Maiden, and it was a huge moment when Priest reunited with Halford, and it was huge when Sabbath reunited. None of this shit would have mattered if it wasn't for the momentum nu-metal built up over the course of the mid to late 90's and culminating in the 00's. Metal was in again, alternative was out, and it's because of fucking nu-metal coming in and making "metal" in any form cool again to kids and young adults when in the earlier part of the 90's it was fucking tabboo and cringey. Why do you think Metallica tried to be an alt rock band but then dropped St. Anger, an undeniably "metal" album, and on top of that basically their attempt at "nu metal" with no solos and just groove riffs and angst shit lyrics.

Thrash metal always did that kind of shit, as far as slowing it down goes...listen to some Sabbath, kid, and don't forget to fuck yourself.

You seriously need to fucking kill yourself.

>i thought it was cool when i was 12 though.
Liking this when you didn't know any better is the main defense for this band, anyone unironically praising it past their teens is a sad piece of shit like this faggot here

rude

You don't play guitar, your opinion on metal is irrelevant. Queer.

i never listened to st anger. you said metal bands werent making money in the 90s but im sure metallica albums were still selling well as well as meme metal who werent numetal artists like marylin manson and rob zombie etc.

Metallica made a lot of money. They knew metal was uncool though, so they stopped making metal and stopped having a metal image, traded it in for an "alternative" look and sound the best they could manage, they were always late to the trends they were trying to hop on though, while they were doing this Korn was blowing up, and hence St. Anger in the 00's when they switched to baggy pants and beanie hats and sololess metal. Metallica always sold well regardless but you're missing the entire point.

Dime was massively overrated and his guitar tone sounded retarded, this doesn't get called out enough. He was obviously proficient but you'd have to listen to Power Metal to actually get a glimpse of what he could've actually done with his skills and a cleaner guitar sound that didn't have the gain turned up to 11

Pantera fans are dumb as shit, the reason they always hype Floods is because something with a little melody is foreign to them (and even then Pantera managed to drop a stupid fucking one note breakdown into something that was supposed to have feeling).

>Metallica always sold well regardless but you're missing the entire point.

what was your point again? that metal was uncool in the 90s until numetal got big?

I love Power Metal, and in no way was Dimebag overrated. To me he was the saving grace of later Pantera shit. I prefer traditional metal shit so I can understand where you're coming from, but to me it's idiotic to deny that he was great. His solos in my opinion rival EVH in terms of being unique and non cookie cutter, and that matters to me most.

that’s a pretty good line up
