I don’t like metal music.

I definitely went through a metal phase when I was a kid but by the time I was exposed to these guys it just didn't do anything for me. I would have liked to have liked them too, because I used to see Vinnie Paul around Vegas ALL THE TIME. Sometimes multiple times in the same night at different places. He was at one of my shows one time even. He was a friendly music guy.

Great music for the gym.

I've never been to a gym (shocking, guy that has never been anywhere hasn't been somewhere) but I imagine it would be.

I was at this show back in 96:

One of my buddies leant me his copy of great southern trend kill in high school and I've been a fan ever since, child.

They might be the only band I like now that I hated as a teenager. I was a snob who thought they were nu metal. Now I like them.

They were always great but came out at a weird time - end of glam hair / start of grunge but had their own sound. They put out great tour videos that was just them fucking around on the road partying and playing pranks. It was long before jackass they were just filming themselves being stupid. One of them Dimebag meets Ace Frehley, has him sign his chest tattoo of Ace, then runs to a tattoo parlor to have it inked. It was them destroying hotel rooms, drinking, breaking shit, launching fireworks at each other, naked girls, and all kinds of other stuff that bands used to do on tour. Crazy how “rock stars” haven’t acted like rock stars in decades.

Fuck dude, I haven't actually listened to them since 2006 or something. I took a pretty strong edible tonight, saw this thread and decided to put on Far Beyond Driven, and it still fawkin slaps. I actually think I like it more now.

 

[Queefer Sutherland]

Everyone got too caught up in their image. Real music nerds can enjoy things like Rex playing jazz beats while Dime was shredding.





Not coincidentally, Vinnie and Rex formed Pantera after meeting in jazz band in junior high. No mindless blast beat shit here.

 

[Queefer Sutherland]

Man, the kikes really had it for them from day one. 1994 MTV News clip...

Yes, a Carnivore t-shirt is referencing a South African white supremacist group, Kurt (((Loder))).

 

[Dusty Dan]

I like Cowboys from Hell and Vulgar Display of Power. I quite like Down II as well even though it's corny as fuck if I'm being honest.

 

[Juschippinyababe]

Groove metals finest man. Got to see em once as a young faggot on the reinventing the steel tour. As someone posted at the top of the thread about Rex and Vinnies ability to groove outside of 4/4 while Dime shreds. Mainstream metal doesn't have this anymore. Lots of cool instrumental bands out there nowadays though.

The current incarnation kicks ass imo

Zakk can play all the songs proficiently, but he doesn’t have the bounce or groove that Darrell had. Few do.

 

[Charles Kos]

They could've been good had Dimebag learned how to dial in his fucking tone. Worst tone than early Black Metal

Brooding over the fact there's no UK dates

In the 80s I used to see a Countach around town, and also a Pantera

The Countach had "shock value" because it looks so ridiculous, but I think the lines of the Pantera are superior

History chose Lamborghini, and the two cars are worth $600K and $125K respectively.

Fun fact: a 2023 Toyota Camry is about as fast as a Pantera, while getting almost 300% more miles per gallon.

Pantera vs Camry:

A Pantera was what Vince Neil was driving when he killed his buddy from Hanoi Rocks.

 

[Jack_Horner]

That's wild. I always thought it was a Corvette, because that's what they showed in the Netflix show, but I guess they were too cheap to wreck a $150k car.

Looks like Tim Horton died in one too:



I didn't know they were such a handful.

Vince Neil used to live on the other side of town, and I always thought it was bizarre that he had millions in cars but lived in a fairly unspectacular house. It's not a dump by any means, but it's a fairly basic Cumia-esque McMansion.
