Coming from a style that some consider to be Glam, US Power Metal or just Heavy Metal (I haven't had the chance of actually listening to this period from the band) Pantera became a Groove Thrash metal band that told all those Grunge bands, that were taking over during the 90's, to fuck off, that Metal is alive and breathing. Their music, raw and in your face, has influenced several bands including many Nu Metal bands (often hated for that).

As we all know, the life of the guitar god Dimebag Darrell ended during a tragic incident where a son of a bitch killed him during a show of his other band Damageplan, in which he too played guitar along with his brother Vinnie Paul, in December 8th, 2004. Millions suffered his death back in those days and we all still do for he was a unique guitar palyer and person, as all the people who knew him acknowledge. He may not be with us in flesh but he will be alive forever through his music.

Here is their official thread.

It's a shame that some asshole prevented a possibility of a reunion because I would've loved to see Pantera again. Loading...

When I think of Pantera I think of angry alcoholic tattooed rednecks fist-fighting around a backyard bonfire in a trailer park, smoking heavy cigars they stole and beating their girlfriends. I dunno, that's probably just me. But I definitely don't think of them as an all-round package kind of band. Maybe a nice, heavy aggressive metal band for bikers and juiceheads. /stereotypes ---- "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something." Loading...

I'll give them credit for that. Prior to Pantera I don't think such a band existed. I mean the thrash bands of the '80s had their whole brainless aggression thing going on, but not like Pantera. ---- "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something."

I just think style-wise Pantera have a nice middle-ground thing going on, thrash but not too thrashy, heavy but also groovy with an overbearing attitude. I know you don't like them but they're probably the ultimate mindless-drunk in a pub kind of band to listen to for me. Loading...

To be honest, that's probably a partial reason for why I never enjoyed them. I don't do the drunk-in-a-pub thing, and I don't do the tough-guy thing, so typically nothing about their sound appeals to me. I like one of their songs though... I think it's "Cowboys From Hell" but I can't be sure. ---- "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something." Loading...

That's right. I wouldn't expect a comeback album without Dimebag. It wouldn't sound right. Besides, a reunion is impossible as Vinnie Paul still blames Anselmo for Dimebag's death and refuses to talk to either Phil or Rex... ---- {}::::::[]:::::::::::::::::> ONLY DEATH IS REAL <:::::::::::::::::[]::::::{} Rest In Peace: Bon Scott, Dave G.
