he must reunite with rex brown to do a band revival of this era with other name (They reunited in 2010 for two themes come on eyes and other i dont remember) if venom have venom inc, there must be some pantera inc or something like this playing themes of this era
It's amazing to me how these guys never got signed onto a major label in the mid 80's glam heyday. Their first 3 indie albums with Terry Glaze on vocals stand up to anything else that was coming out on the major labels back then. Truly unheralded music that should've been all over MTV circa 84-85.
Possibly not, but there may have been a string of more albums in the VH, Ratt, Dokken vein of the first three. I always though Darrell was right up there with EVH, Rhoads, and George Lynch even as a tennager like he was on this track. I like both era's of Pantera, but I'd choose the original group over the latter if a choice was to be made as I prefer melody over the extreme stuff later Pantera specialized in. Who knows, Darrell might still be alive today also...
@dwk67, Nathaniel Knapp: i think CFH and the groove metal transition would have happened after all (actually Judas Priest also had a brief groove metal-ish period when Tim Owens joined them, their Jugulator album sometimes relates to CFH closely) - however if they had been a popular & succesful hair metal band, they would have returned to their roots far by now - Damageplan and Dime's assassination might have not happened. You could go to a Pantera show in spandex and silly hairdo even now :))))
Lack of focus and lack of promotion. If they released this song as a single and put it on the radio then I think there's so question they would have gotten signed.
Fortunaly they never signed a contract with major during in 80, because if you know glam genre was dead at the begin of the 1990. Is a fortune they change style for groove metal.
I find it strange that the band turned their back on these albums and songs. This is heavy duty, high quality, honest and passionate music. Especially on a track like this, all the elements are in place. Songwriting, musical ability, technical prowess, heart, soul, creativity and ingenuity ... it's all there. This is everything I could ever ask for out of a song. I'm so glad that these albums survived despite the band's efforts to bury them. Now the world can see for themselves that these guys had it going on before they switched gears and became a sensation.
Phil made them a different band is all. They considered changing band names but didnt. The first album WRITTEN WRITTEN WRITTEN by all 4 guys was CFH. Its NOT more complicated than that. They were never ashamed or anything, thats a MYTH
I can see I know it was meant to be You can be what you want to be Just set yourself free Oh my life Been trying so hard to get it right Been searching in the night Trying to set myself free Now I can't turn my back and walk out the door Now that I know found out what I'm living for I'm taking my life into my own hands Got to be strong got to be a man Takin' my life No No No No more no more living in a mystery I'm not going to let it get the best of me Takin' my life I can see I know it was meant to be You can be what you want to be Just set yourself free Now I can't turn my back and walk out the door Now that I know found out what I'm living for I'm taking my life into my own hands Got to be strong got to be a man Takin' my life No No No No more no more living in a mystery I'm not going to let it get the best of me Takin' my life
I’m reviving this slumbering comment section… To yell out “Pantera ain’t thrash bro” to someone that isn’t ripe about metal sub-genres as if his guess is absurdly off base is not helpful. Before Vulgar their was a thick coating of glam metal there, but the glam gets shed from the Pantera personality with each succeeding album while this progressively evolving personality of theirs becomes more & more saturated with a harder heavy metal… with the albums Power Metal & Cowboys From Hell both containing some definite thrash-type moments.
Happy birthday Dime, we remember you not only as a legendary musican, you were a great man, strong, brave and very loved so keep on rockin' in Heaven with Hendrix, Randy, Chuck, Rory, Gary and Dio...at least God is listening to some good music now \m/
@@monicatrudeau9309 Yeah. But how about no and do yourself a favor and rest of the planet. Mind your business and GetCha Pull. Worry about your English and yourself
I remember listening to these guys when they very first came out. At the time, I just liked the riffs from this band. I will admit that I totally didn't appreciate the mastery of Darrell - RIP. I was young and just didn't know any better. I really liked "Projects in the Jungle" and "I am the Night". Thank you for posting these great tunes. Seems like yesterday.
I heard Pantera in 1994 for the first time and I am their groove phase fan and never liked nor glam rock neither glam metal , but I could rate this song as one of Pantera's best songs. Definitely their top 10 song.
Every version of Pantera is the best of the class. 80s Hair. Killed it. Late 80s metal? Who else do we stomp. 90s metal do we even question? The millennium? All while other bands were complaining about money and play time. Greatest metal band ever.
I wish they would have given their earlier material its proper due respect. As someone who was aware of and a huge fan of Pantera from the beginning, it really bummed me out the way all of their early work was brushed under the carpet...even by them. They should be proud as fuck of all of their stuff, its all the best of the best of what they were doing. Pantera forever from beginning to end!!!
First time I heard this I was 15 using crappy speakers. Sitting here with a set of HS7s many years later...Vinnie is WORKING that hat in the very back of the mix! hahaha
80's heavy metal is the best. Dokken, Ratt, Ozzy Osbourne with Jake E Lee, Icon, Iron Maiden, Warlock, Yngwie Malmsteen, Van Halen, Queensryche, Wasp, Kiss, Motley Crue...
Aus der guten, alten (Pantera) Zeit. Einer ihrer wirklich zeitlosen Songs. Auch nach so vielen Jahren bekomme ich hier noch Gänsehaut. Habe ihre ersten 4 LP's immer noch in Vinyl zu stehen. Leider verleugneten sie ja ihre eigene großartige Anfangszeit später. Gerade "Projekts In The Jungle" und "I'am the Night" sind einfach HAMMER Scheiben!!
Pretty good song. Remembers me in the hospital 11 years ago for a wound in my eye. Is one of the best solos I ever heard, don't know why Pantera denies their past, their 80 past.
Phillip was & is badass nobody can Come close 2 what he has done I like Terry Glaze also , but glade that Phillip brought PANTERA 2 a Level that never can b done again !
If they'd kept the songwriting in this vein, they probably would have gotten signed to a major label, or at least broken the self-release hell and signed with Metal Blade or Megaforce or somebody. But Dime was already pulling in the direction of thrash/more aggressive stuff, and Terry wanted to stay "glam", so their songwriting was going in all sorts of directions with the Judas Priest pastiches and the power ballads or straight glam rockers. And so even though they were an unbelievable live act and had awesome songs no major label ever came close to working out a deal with them. But these songs right here are what made 80s Pantera awesome. Too bad they apparently never played these live, not this or Forever Tonight or In Over My Head.
I've also heard that Terry felt the band was being held back by the entire Abbot family being stubborn and not giving him and Rex enough say... They weren't having the success he thought they could have and opted to leave and go to college.
I grew up in the DFW Metroplex area and I remember this era of music from Pantera. Back then Dimebag Darrell went by Diamond Darrell. The older stuff, the newer stuff, it all sounded great to me.
I don’t get it. Even though I’m a big later era fan of Pantera (mainly their last 3 records) I still think this is amazing. How were these not big hits?
R.I.P Dimebag Darrell and R.I.P Vinnie Paul, it’s sad that they are gone now, this is one of the songs that made me very emotional along with we’ll meet again!!
I grew up in the 80s in my 50s now .I like this Pantera era better that later 90s Dines playing was ahead of its time sounds better than later years,they were really hungry to make it and put out good records.I would have bought all these records back then if they were on a major label and should have been way before Ratt,Motley Crue and specially before Poison got signed.
This song kicks, but if you dig whitesnake, then you've gotta check out John Sykes who is the mastermind behind Still of The night. Check out Blue Murder and their tune "sex child" 🤘
If you didn't know, then you're not a poser. You know what a poser is? Bands who act rebellious but tell unjabbed fans they can't attend their concerts. That's a poser.
masterpiece this is! 2020 my paper mile were I have worked at for 18 years has closed. been looking for a job for 6 months now and very down because the job offers are to low 15$/h found this song and it is so inspirering!! wow sorry for the spelling I am french. I hope to find a guitar lesson for this on youtube.
Honestly can't get enough of this song, it's so sexy and defines the 80's for me. Love it.
Coudn't agree more. The verse somehow reminds me of "In the Air Tonight".
Its like a 80's metal version of "In the air tonight". I love this song with a passion as well!
Haha "sexy". Are you a chick? Good stuff regardless but I love the sexy comment.
wow same feeling here .what a great track
@@monicatrudeau9309 i think he's talking about the music sounding like it's on a lovemaking mix tape lol not the band members being hawt
Terry Glaze!! Pantera fans appreciate your work with the band. Always!
I love their early albums " power metal " is my favorite !
Found it weird how pantera pretends half of their history never existed
True
@@niggabear Me too.

You may be right about that, but if it had gone down like that "Cowboys from Hell" (etc.) probably would never have happened.

One of the best from Pantera. I hear this song at the 80s at the discothek "Sound-Berlin"" first time. Thats it yeah!
Why am I just now finding this side of Pantera!? It's so awesome!
NO
Very underrated track, Wish they had re-recorded some of their old tracks during their prime in the 90's
Some of.cowboys is power metal... art of shredding is the intro to over and out...
I wish they would be rex said they wont even remaster them sadly
They couldve done this instead of Planet Caravan
@@nikki78225 That's a fair take.
This song is one of the best from this era dude they had it
Long live Glam metal Pantera and Groove metal Pantera!
Thrash?
Pantera aint thrash bro

To yell out “Pantera ain’t thrash bro” to someone that isn’t ripe about metal sub-genres as if his guess is absurdly off base is not helpful.

Da bassline and the synths gives an awesome groove 😢😍
Badass Song, drifts along and Terry's vocals are great.
One of my ALL TIME FAVORITES SONGS PERIOD!!!!!
Absolutely agree!
Lovely ballad...
The true pantera i Love this.
This is the best thing Pantera ever recorded.
Fact.
I just love this song.
In one lifetime, Dime produced this and CFH. Unreal. RIP.
My favourite Pantera BALLAD FROM 80'S!!
Early Pantera really had some bangers
NO
One of my favourite songs ever... Incredible songwriting
Happy birthday Dime, we remember you not only as a legendary musican, you were a great man, strong, brave and very loved so keep on rockin' in Heaven with Hendrix, Randy, Chuck, Rory, Gary and Dio...at least God is listening to some good music now \m/

Little late now...
Unfortunately..... :-(
Damn
Released direct from Heaven blessed by the Gods.

goosebump solo in this one! Rip Brother Dime
my best years of the pantera 1983-1988
Listening to this on Queens Blvd at dusk with a lot of self reflection and self growth to look forward to.
It's nice to actually hear Rex Rocker's bass in this song. 👍🤘💪
I'm really digging this song right now. It ain't nothing fancy. it's just good singin' and playin'

Some of Dime’s best shredding comes from the 80’s imo
this is the song I will go out to
This sounds like 80s Deep Purple. The Dimebag riff to this song sounds very Blackmore-ish.
