If Dimebag wasn’t murdered Pantera most likely would’ve been the biggest metal band ever. They already were huge up there with Metallica but they had at least 3 more banger albums in them when Dimebag was killed. Imagine a world with 3 more albums from Pantera.
You are aware Pantera broke up a couple years before Dimebag was killed? There's a good chance they would have never gotten back together because of the beef between Phil and the Abbott brothers.
Nah, Phil's not cocky...he's a bad ass, he doesn't HAVE to be cocky 😂 So thrilled to see how into it you were, I'm here for more! Pantera was the roughest pit I ever was accidentally in lol, and I survived the Clash Of The Titans tour! (Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax in one night). It was the first time I ever saw Pantera, my 16 year old butt was NOT ready for it! But some nice gentleman grabbed me up out of there, made sure I was ok, then he jumped right back in. Who said metalheads aren't nice? Next time I saw them a few months later, I got seats in the balcony 😂
While I'd tend to agree and am a huge fan of the genre/sound, I've come to realize the Godfathers of Metal. Black Sabbath, invented Groove Metal, if only by accident. "Into the Void" is 💯 Groove Metal.
That's kind of have the story. 10:09 His actual response was closer to " You give me 5 minutes alone with that cat's dad and I'll whoop his f**king ass."
Saw Pantera live 1998 in cold and rainy North midwinter festival Nummirock!!! 🤗😍 Best gig i have ever seen in my life! 👊💪🤘🔥 Rip Abbott brothers, your music will live forever. 🙏
a guy was hurt in a Pantera concert, his father tracked the band and wanted to meet with Phil Anselmo and said "i just need five minute alone with him"... and thats where the title comes on
I think you meant "dimwitted?" Phil is a breed of his own kind. Pure testosterone. The poetry in his lyrics shows his true intelligence. You want cocky? Check out the opener for this album: Strength Beyond Strength.
Floor Jansen to Hannes Van Dahl: ”Honey, Nikki is reacting to our song” 😁 …for those who doesn’t know, Floor from Nightwish and Hannes from Sabaton found each other because Hannes was listening Pantera in his dressing room, and Floor walked in and asked ”Is this Pantera?” Hannes invited her to listen it with him, but Floor said: ”If we are going to listen Pantera, we need to drink whiskey and have some cigars as well” … and this is How their lovestory and relationship started. All because of they both liked Pantera ❤️🔥
If only I could go back and hear the greatest band of all time. (IMO) for the first time. Wanna see the best live show. Pantera in Chile. Craziest crowd ever
Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven are "no skip albums." 2 skippablle tracks each once you've listened multiple times. Only the 1st 4-5 Metallica albums, Master of Reality and Paranoid from Sabbath, the Appetite for Destruction album, and Lamb of God: Ashes of the Wake have pulled that off in my opinion. All are packed with killer riffs and poetic lyrics.
Check "floods" out , definitely some of dimes best work also anything from "101 Proof " live and "Domination" live in Moscow ( has the heaviest breakdown in metal history) 🤘🤘🤘
I had a quick scroll back of your previous Pantera videos Nikki, but couldn't find This Love..I'd suggest that song by them if you haven't done it already
Ah, Pantera. Balm for the soul. Phil's not cocky, really. He knows he's awesome. I'd say he's confident and secure in his abilities. At the same time, though, he doesn't seem pretentious at all. He talks to people like they're friends he hasn't met yet. He has a really great sense of humor, and unfortunately that doesn't get the chance to come out much in interviews anymore, since people only want to talk about Dime's death and the end of Pantera, and his drug use and his supposed racism. I would imagine that sucks the fun out of interviews if that's all you talk about for 20 years. He does have a rather lengthy history with trauma, injury, pain and substance abuse, so there are a few years there where he was maybe less of a jovial, people loving, approachable dude, but he's on the other side of that now. Clean, mostly sober, and with a fused spine these days. I hope that version of Phil gets to make an appearance again some day. Saw him in September and it was amazing. I could tell it meant a great deal to him to be able to sing Pantera songs again. He had tears in his eyes. Hope this tour brings him some healing and happiness.
I like how you caught particular sounds in the song that most wouldn't even noticed. You're paying attention! And actually listening. Have you done Cemetery Gates by Pantera yet?
Even though you seem like a youngin, I typically subscribe to most RUclipsrs who shoe a genuine appreciation for Pantera. So, you've got a new sub. I'll check out your other shit later when I've got "5 minutes alone"...
Hello Nikkie. Pleace react to Alice In Chains - Love Hate Love (Live at the Moore 1990). You will be impressed! I'm sorry for my bad English, I'm not a native English speaker :)
I’ve been in the pit at several shows and if you’re that one asshole in there we’d deal with you accordingly. That was the best part of Pantera, despite the image, the true hardcore fans made sure nobody ruined the experience for anyone else. Floods Domination (studio version) Slaughtered Regular People I’ll Cast a Shadow R.I.P. Dime&Vinnie ❤🔥🤘
Nice job Nikki. Hey just a heads up about videos getting blocked, not sure if they're correct or not but some other reactors I've watched said that if they don't pause the video at some point, it gets blocked. So, they always pause it at least once and make some comments, then resume.
Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas flood live at the el mocambo watched him play for three hours without stopping just unbelievable, Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa I'd rather go blind live, ACDC ride on 😊😊😊
Yes, Phil Anselmo does come across as cocky... arrogant... unapologetic...But he also expresses humility, regret, gratitude and admits his mistakes... After the death of Dimebag in 2004, he had to take a long, hard look at himself and his addictions and he never stopped trying to reach out to Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul until his death in 2018... He mended fences w/ Rita Haney (Dimebag's girlfriend) and others in the Abbott family camp of Pantera. I remember an interview w/ Randy Blythe, vocalist of Lamb of God... and he admitted that life on the road is tough on him and he can't always be 'that character' people expect him to be onstage... Blythe said that he'd rather be home sometimes than on a tour bus or backstage... he can't always be polite and people-friendly; often admits he freaks people out. He has had to work on his relationships w/ his bandmates in Lamb of God, where fistfights have broken out in the past... tensions have resulted in very bad working situations... But Blythe said that when he gets on that stage w/ Lamb of God, he will give 100% to deliver the best metal show that he can for the fans... I think Phil Anselmo had the same problems that afflict most bands... Pantera was no different. The brothers (Dimebag & Vinnie) were all about drinking, partying and raising hell on the road... They wanted to have a good time w/ alcohol & food, friends and fans... And that wasn't necessarily what Phil (or bassist Rex Brown) was into. And that created the chasm for what ultimately split Pantera up and produced the bad blood between the band members.
If you like to learn more about Phil this is a great talk he gives at a University, it shows his vulnerable side a bit. You are right he is cockey but I think it comes from his past. If you want there is a 7 part version of the lecture maybe make it reactionable, but it otherwise open my eyes to the guy saw him more human and not so arrogant. ruclips.net/video/UkAhvGgGTg8/видео.html

The more you hear of Pantera the more you'll fall in Love with them
I'm sure ;)
Definitely!
Girl you just EXPERIENCED the most unique and powerfull heavy mental band in the universe

Yeah Phil is not putting on an act, he's about that life. Kinda like Henry Rollins.
This is one of those bands that doesn’t have to sound heavy, they just are heavy! They invented groove metal!
So good. 😁
While I'd tend to agree and am a huge fan of the genre/sound, I've come to realize the Godfathers of Metal. Black Sabbath, invented Groove Metal, if only by accident.
"Into the Void" is 💯 Groove Metal.
Best band ever!

R.i.p dimebag
R.i.p Vinnie paul
I appreciate you don't pause the songs. Keep up the good work :)
Thank you! And yes, that bothers me in real life when someone stops a song mid-play so I couldn't do that on here. 😂
that's alfo with anger but with frankness
Great production on the video, and Love the double pedal action on the kit!!
Vinnie using his drumsticks handle end forward. it's just heavier! so cool.

Dimebag is terrifying and greatest of all time
TRUTH!
Thanks for all the good times brothers!
Imagine coming up with a pantera track name, i wonder where that guy is now or if he even knows he’s responsible for the name of this kickass song
Love your reaction! 🔥 Legends! The greatest to ever do it! 💯
Just subbed b/c well Pantera! This band fueled my act during my teens and well into my 20's! This band will always be GOAT!
My favorite pantera song
So good!
This is probably my favorite Pantera song.
Check "floods" out , definitely some of dimes best work also anything from "101 Proof " live and "Domination" live in Moscow ( has the heaviest breakdown in metal history) 🤘🤘🤘

Pantera changed music.....
Awesome
Boo YT,,YaY Nikki!!Love to see how much your getting into this music.Are you sure you grew up listening to POP?J/K!!LOL!Great reaction!
I like how you caught particular sounds in the song that most wouldn't even noticed.
You're paying attention! And actually listening.
Have you done Cemetery Gates by Pantera yet?
Yes! I did. ☺️ It was blocked for awhile but as of right now it's up. 😂
Awesome channel Awesome song
Thanks so much! 💛☺️

HE BITES ON BROKEN GLASS
Phil , cocky 😂😂😂 I had to laugh at that.
😜
I love that song, I'm a big Pantera fan from Texas, so if you like this band, I think you'll like the a band called throwdown
You need yo react to Domination live in Moscow... best breakdown ever
Hello Nikkie. Pleace react to Alice In Chains - Love Hate Love (Live at the Moore 1990). You will be impressed!
I'm sorry for my bad English, I'm not a native English speaker :)
RiffMaster Dime. Psycho Holiday-next. Tough solo in that.
I'd like to make a suggestion. 🙂
White Zombie and the song "Thunder Kiss '65"
I will do that! I really like Rob Zombie but don't know much White Zombie. 🤔
@@nikkireviews They're awesome! 🙂 They do cool videos too.

Check out floods.
The noise you queried ?
Its a way of improvising between chords. It's called scratching.
Interestingly this is how records sound when you do the same.
@8:08 This is a take you should keep with you. Not too many reactors doing that. Cheers!!!
I would say Phil is a bit cocky but more than anything he is just confident.

I ❤️ Pantera, but I ❤ you more, Nikki. 😏
He's allowed to be smug
For sure 😂
This song is the definition of chunky……
If I where you I’d do a reaction to either revolution is my name or 13 steps to nowhere you would be a god on the internet…..
Im gonna say it. This ain;t this ladies cup of tea... BUT thanks for the revew.
😂 Hey! I liked it! I'm just newer to the metal scene so sometimes I have no idea what I'm talking about. 😜
I was probably your age when this song came out
