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.

Wow. Pantera's "Far Beyond Driven" became the first metal album ever to debut at #1 on the charts in the US. And it did so without any compromise and at a metal in which metal (outside of 'extreme' genres) was pretty much on life support. You are entitled to your opinion regarding their musical output, but you are just dead wrong in any discussion regarding their impact. Having lived it - having seen them in their heyday and having been heavily into metal in the early 90's (back when you where what, 3?) I appreciate what they did for the genre as a whole... ---- get the fuck off my lawn. Beer Bug Virus Spotify Playlist crafted by Nikarg and I. Feel free to tune in and add some pertinent metal tunes!

Pantera isn't Pantera without all of the members. Zakk is fuckin awesome though so I'm sure they would be able to make good music.

Baz Anderson Posts: 13237 From: UK	Permalink 05.10.2006 - 18:57 Baz Anderson Posts: 13237 From: UK yes definatly, if something was to come from the ashes of Pantera it would have to be called something different it would probably sound quite different to Pantera too without Dimebag haha yes. i have had a few different pumpkin avatars over the last year or so though ive been on this site quite a long time now but i still remember all the avatars i had (i think anyway) i would only get annoyed if someone went and just used mine that i made as theirs (which thankfully doesnt happen on this site) Loading...
Dangerboner Lactation Cnslt Posts: 7261 From: USA	Permalink 06.10.2006 - 01:41 Dangerboner Lactation Cnslt Posts: 7261 From: USA I mentioned that because you and Winter Death both have pumpkin avatars now. Loading...
Winter Death Account deleted	Permalink 06.10.2006 - 08:35 Winter Death Account deleted ^^^ yeah... I wanted my previous avatar back from my old profile on this site. I had to start anew when the forums got revamped because I couldn't access my old email account to log in. Hell, I even used the same name pretty much. Old: WinterDeath. New: Winter Death. On a Pantera note: Personal conflicts aside, I think it would be a cool project for Zakk and the remaining Pantera boys to get together to play some old songs. As long as Zakk remains true to his playing (is this even in question?), I think there would be some shredding results. Loading...

Winter Death Account deleted	Permalink 14.10.2006 - 05:08 Winter Death Account deleted You're right that Phil's attitude wasn't good in the least. That's what made him memorable and so very metal. Loading...
Dangerboner Lactation Cnslt Posts: 7261 From: USA	Permalink 14.10.2006 - 07:58 Dangerboner Lactation Cnslt Posts: 7261 From: USA I like Phil's personality. Granted, I don't like it when he insults people without justification, but all the other stuff he does is badass. Like, when he cusses out the security guards and threatens to stop playing when they are on the verge of throwing a fan out. It's just cool that there is someone left in the world that speaks his mind and doesn't give a shit about being politically correct. Take Dave Mustaine for example. Loading...
Winter Death Account deleted	Permalink 14.10.2006 - 10:38 Winter Death Account deleted Exactly. It seems people have become afraid and offended by people who are not cookie-cutter fluffy entertainers, even in the metal world. People need to get back in touch with what metal is really about and rediscover the pair of balls between their legs. We need more musicians like Phil. Loading...

Darth Satanious Post Destroyer Posts: 2154 From: Puerto Rico	Permalink 22.10.2006 - 02:52 Darth Satanious Post Destroyer Posts: 2154 From: Puerto Rico I was reading in Wikipedia and I came across some information that assures that Vinnie is currently working in a new project along other known musicians. It doesn't say much, it just names the musicians that are supposedly involved in the new band. These are the ones that are mentioned there: Chad Gray (Mudvayne) - Vocals Greg Tribbett (Mudvayne) - Guitar Tom Maxwell (Nothingface) - Guitar Jerry Montano (Danzig, Nothingface) - Bass Vinnie Paul Abbott (Pantera, Damageplan) - Drums Seeing Chad on vocals seemed to me as a good choice for I have always seen him as a very talented and promising vocalist but having Greg in guitars is something that does not leave me too enthusiastic I have to say. ---- Christless Loading...
