PLease stop the cheesiness concerning dead artists... it's not like you people actually knew the said artist in real life.

What's wrong with expressing sadness for the tragedy of a hero? His music affected many people in positive ways, and Dime also had a big heart. He once bought a young kid some amps and a guitar, because he couldn't afford them himself. He was also very connected with his fans.

It's too bad that the artists died earlyl, and it is fucked up how Dimebag died. But, the more that people talk about these artists' deaths, the more it lacks sincerity. For example, it has become almost mandatory in the Death thread to end your posts with "R.I.P. Chuck" or "We love you Chuck".

Exactly and trend is also prevalent in the Pantera threads...
Why didn't people praise Dimebag that much when he was still alive, or Chuck for that matter, or any other dead artist? Because most people only noticed the artists' ability after their deaths.

That's true, I've never thought of it that way. I'm sure huge fans of Chuck's are being 100% sincere, though. And those who aren't huge fans of Chuck's music could still be paying some respect to him.

I GOTTA learn how to be as skillfull as dime was with pinch harmonics.

Now politically, I am very left, I am also very against racism, but I must say that I very much agree with Phil's remarks in this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxQk3DC3gL0&NR=1

I wish they wouldn't call it "white power speech"......he even explains that Pantera are not racist and have friends of different backrounds/colours. The video to me is thought provoking

So what is he trying to say? I really don't understand. He is saying that blacks are as much racists as whites are? And why should we take pride in the fact that we are white?

He simply speaking out against double-standards.
It seems that black persons are able to say any off-colour racial things, but white people are not.

I am a fan of Pantera and I can see where everyone is coming from with the exasperated R.I.P.s and he was the greatest etc. This all goes with the saying you don't know what you have until it's gone. On the other hand I think it's unfair to compare Chuck not getting recognition when he was alive to Dimebag. Pantera was a lucrative band that was in fact very popular in the 90s. Chuck couldn't afford to get surgery.

My point being is, whether someone says they miss someone or rest in peace or any of that, there is know way of knowing if they are sincere, so there is no point in telling someone they need to/or don't need to say it. Also the reason some people post things like that is sort of a communication of metal camaraderie. Most of us have an appreciation for death, and therefore we miss chuck. His music lives on but we would like him to be alive making more.

To get back on topic to Pantera, coming back to this forum I would just like to say they were offputting to me at one point because many people around me did say the "R.I.P. dimebag" thing too much. My lil' bro (a metal-head also) started taking a liking to vulgar display of power and from true metal heads around me convincing that Pantera isn't just popular garbage I gave it a listen.

Pantera's appeal comes from their well delivered lyrics, old school heaviness, Vinnie Paul being an OG in his steel-toes behind the set, and just good riffs. Ultimately they composed well and it was preformed well.

I enjoy listening to Pantera when I am in a certain mood and I appreciate Dimebags guitar playing. I just think of it as if Texas made a metal band what would it sound like? Pantera fadefdo.

I've bought just one of their albums, Cowboys From Hell since I love the song Cemetery gates it's just amazing. I also have Far Beyond Driven but just in the computer.

I think Phil Anselmo's voice is really powerful and expressful ^^

Totally hilarious, Dimebag singing on the street: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIaqB7hdxKo&feature=related

i need some moneeey.... gimme some moneey... right noww...

his pinch harmonics imo are pretty "normal", what isn't normal is his extremely heavy guitar tone and his work with the tremolo bar and his bends.. that's what make his squeals so insane.

They are like the only metal band from the South I listen to lol.

Pantera was unique band with great musicians,specialy with Dimebag on guitar R.I.P.

Phil giving a very drunk and emotional statement about Dimebag's death, it's an old video but i thought i should post it here.

Blabbermouth just posted a new interview with Phil talking about some really serious stuff regarding his drug addiction, one of his more intelligent interviews. It's pretty depressing though - it's sad how weird he acts now cuz of drugs

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=125509

It's crazy to see how he is now, especially when you look at old interviews like this

What an interview. Phil is my hero!

Happy Birthday Dimebag!

Rest in peace

I'm new to this forum, and I only have one complaint.

Outside of Cowboys from Hell, you have to get Far Beyond Driven and Vulger Display of Power.

It seems that black persons are able to say any off-colour racial things, but white people are not.

Thats true, if a black person says that he is proud of being black its okay, but if a white guy is says he is proud of being white, he is racist, and its bullshit. And everyother race besides whites are just as racist. Me? Im white and i am proud of being white, and if you think im racist then fuck off you hypocritical bastards.

Other than off topic stuff, Pantera is one of my favorite thrash bands.

I think Pantera is overrated.

This day in 2004... crazy. I still remember reading about it on this website in my Computing class in college...
