Uuuuummmm... Reinventing The Steel is fucking awesome.

Bumping this post for TRUTH. I listened to it today for the first time in nearly a year and it STILL is a fucking cool record. Really groovy and heavy shit. Hellbound is ... well I can't describe it. This will do:

Just listen to that snare! THAT SNAAAAAAARRE.
Mentally metalicious lines: HELLBOOOOUUND, IT'S GODDAMN ELECTRIC, and COZ YESTERDAY DON'T MEAN SHIT - BECAUSE TOMORROW'S A DAY - YOU HAVE TO FACE!!
Godly.

Ooh, 4th page now.

Keep 'em comin'.

Yeah I don't understand the hate for it. Maybe it's produced a little differently than the others, but it's still great. Lots of great riffs.

I love this band, a lot of very good songs. I don't really listen to much outside of Cowboys/Vulgar/Driven. Maybe I should start listening to some of their other stuff.

Trendkill is pretty good, but if you ask me, each album had a dip in quality after Cowboys.

Trendkill is my favourite. Floods is their best song IMO.

Shit yes. Listened to that today for the first time in ages. Awesome.

Probably not the song you want to be playing in Brisbane, Australia around this time though. Yikes!

Just saw this doc. about Pantera. I love the transition they made from being a pure glam rock band to a Death/Thrash metal band. Talk about two diffrent worlds.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #122 on:** January 08, 2013, 01:11:57 PM »

Yeah, nobody give into the temptation of listening to the earlier albums. They are truly awful.

I wish they would re-release their first 4 albums. I still need to check those out.

God damn Phil is one of the best vocalists of all time, have any of you heard the split he did with war beast? His solo album is to be material like that and I'm so fucking excited
Also god damn The Sleep, a pure bonafide masterpiece. I'm on a Phil anselmo/pantera binge atm

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #126 on:** January 15, 2013, 03:43:53 AM »

I dunno man. Can he even sing anymore? I know he's still good for screams but it's been years since I've seen him not sound like a winded, shitfaced, redneck when trying to sing traditional style stuff.

latest EP with Down was pretty good, but I think his solo is going to be heavy as fuck extreme material.

Wrong. Power Metal is great, much better than most of the stuff from their "tough guy" period.

Cowboys is where it's at for Phil. He does the harsh stuff but can still do the Halford ball squeezing high note stuff too. Awesome.

+1 to both of those points. The Sleep is freaking amazing and although I really enjoy most of their albums Cowboys is the perfect medium for me (my fav).

Nekov · « **Reply #132 on:** January 15, 2013, 10:50:12 AM »

I wanna say that Vinne Paul is my favorite drummer when it comes to double bass. The guy is able to never overuse it and the way he plays it just feels like a bullet to the chest every time he hits it. Awesome.

I like the classic Pantera albums but I always had a sort of unusual perspective on them. Phil and I are the same age and he used to hang out in the record store where I worked when we were both teenagers in New Orleans. He was always a bit peculiar (the guy most likely to go berserk one day -- no surprise, right?) and used to just hang out to talk metal with the store employees and talk about how he was going to have a metal band -- which he did, named Razor White, and they were pretty decent. Then he disappeared for a few months and we heard he had gone to Dallas to join another band. Lo and behold the rise of Pantera began.

I've always supported him and his various projects since Pantera, but I always thought of Pantera a bit differently because they had that wacky teenager who used to hang out where I worked and he turned his dreams into something bigger.

Interesting story Rick....................I'd call myself a casual Pantera fan - very much just a few songs off a few albums. What would you consider their "classic" albums to be - I'd say Cowboys and Vulgar Display. After that it seemed to me it got to be as much about being as heavy as possible as writing decent songs.

For me it's Cemetery Gates and ..

the best of the rest. (Cowboys, Shattered, Domination, This Love, Walk, Fucking Hostile)

TioJorge · « **Reply #136 on:** January 14, 2014, 08:51:26 PM »

Adore Pantera, but as with most bands from my youth, I only revisit them once in a while now. But I do so with Pantera more than any other band I grew up with.

10's; Floods; Hollow; and The Sleep are my go-to songs. The Art of Shredding is nice when I wanna feel like a...a...horny chainsaw-man with a shotgun for a dick. Or something.

I think of the classics as Cowboys, Far Beyond Driven and Vulgar Display. Others may disagree, but that's the classic 3 for me.

I guess I should join Rick and George so we can have three NOLAmites up in this bitch simultaneously. I only consider CFH and VDoP classics. I still really like Becoming, HLSC, 10s, DtW, and adore Floods though.

My favorite part of Trendkill is the intro:
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

One of the best album intros ever.

Whenever I think of Pantera, I think of Beavis & Butthead jokes about Phil:
