At 72 I’m starting to really like metal bands and that is surprising to me. I never listened to the lyrics or the musicianship involved. Thanks youngster 💜👵🏼✌🏼
no one really sang like phil. he set the mold for this type of metal back then. even then the range he had IN THE BEGINNING was extraordinary. the highs and lows he could hit were incredible. concert after concert ended up shredding his vocal cords. listen to him today, he's basically a dinosaur growl.
This guys face when Dime began soloing and his face as he realised what he was missing by looking at the camera instead of the screen, priceless!!! Dime was a one off, a legend in the truest sense!!! R.I.P to the brothers Abbott such a fucking tragedy!!!! 💔💔
i think eventually there will be (talent wise) no one can replace the man himself, and when we do see an equal talent wise, dimebags name will be written all over him because 10000% dimebag would be the reason of their success as a guitarist. Imagine a kid on the shitter right now rockin a pantera shirt just ripping away on his guitar, no real training, just playing with passion and instinct, who knows lol
Every time I watch this video, I don’t want it to end. Since CFH, something has come up, and I never got to see them. I’m so thankful I got to DamagePlan
I feel so bad for you young ones that didn't get to see Pantera live! It was AWESOME! I've still got picks, back stage passes and all other cool shit from the band. Me and some friends hung out with them after a show at the Whiskey in Hollywood, I think it was 89 or 90. Cool fun times, great guys, humble and sweet.
Agreed! Saw them at The Stone and Warfield in SF. The lady who used to cut my hair for 20 years was Sunny of Sunny Productions. She brought them to Sacramento the first time. We had dinner with them the night before their show. Vinnie taught the bartender to make Black Tooth Grins. Fun evening at the Mansion Inn right behind the War Memorial Auditorium.
@@solarwinds9363 They were awesome! I hate when parents restrict their kids interests! My youngest went through a disco phase, I hated it! I just asked him not to play it around me. Sorry your mom was so uncool. I'm sure she meant the best for you.
Everyone's first time reacting to this is always a treat. You never get that reaction a second time, because the second time you're head-banging with the rest of us.
Nothing touches this IMO for raw expression and energy on stage, always blows me away Phil's and Dimebag's expression and movement in this video, it is just instinctual and raw. It is also why nothing can touch Pantera IMO, the chemistry of Phil and Dimebag, the way they seem to be able to feed off of one another you do not find often in music, and all the little natural fills you can hear in this music, Phil grunting in certain spots, Dimebag with the whammy bar.
Don't forget Vinnie! If he wasn't back there beating those skins to death the song would have just been good. But the Abbot brothers together made it epic.
When pantera finished their show as they passed by Metallica Dimebag Darrel turned to kirt hamlett of Metallica and said" top that one boy" I seen the original pantera in concert in 1995 and their energy and talent was so extreme it was unreal. One of my favorite concerts I have ever been to,and I've been to many.
I'm 46 and grew up listening to 80's/90's metal. I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard Pantera. It's amazing watching people reacting to these metal bands that all aren't metalheads and you can see them realize that they have been missing out. I love it.
Phil was in a couple projects starting back then. If you've ever heard "Stone the Crow" by the band Down, that's Phil on vocals. Song was pretty popular so you may have heard it in passing. Pantera song I recommend is "Becoming"
Just found your channel tonight (02/12/24). I appreciate that you're giving metal a fair shake. Following is an awesome live Pantera song: Primal Concrete Sledge (Official Live Video).
Cemetery Gates is a must from Pantera! You can of course have a break from them but Cemetery Gates is probably their best song vocally and lyrically. The guitar is also killer.
This DOMINATION thing is the epithomy of live metal music performance - from the claim of Phil's vocal through the development of the idea and riveting solo to resolution by this heavy riff at the end and bowing down with the guitar griff... it's pure joy and satisfaction through and through.
Cowboys From Hell and Vulgar Display of Power are two absolutely amazing albums from start to finish. I saw these guys in concert when Vulgar came out and it was one of the best shows i have ever seen. Phils vocals back then were insane and Dimebag was on another level playing the guitar. If only Dime and his brother were still with us. RIP
When you check out "Cemetery Gates" make sure you get the full version. It just isn't quite the same song without Dime's intro solo, and the cut version removes it completely.
The slower bit you mentioned is called a breakdown. You can hear it in just about every metal core song these days. Im seeing Pantera in March, im so pumped! RIP vinnie and dimebag... the people that are standing in for them are very worthy.
Great react! Keep 'em comin'! "This Love" "Cemetery Gates", "Floods" "Primal Concrete Sledge" "5 Minutes Alone" so many good ones to come...yes Pantera IS Groove Metal...they invented it...it's that little bit of Texas blues sprinkled on top slowing it down making it groooovy
Yes!! They've got a hard groove to them! Edit: Suicidal Tendencies also have a groove tobthem, but not as strong or hard as Pantera, imo. ❤️ Pantera & I've been in the mosh pits many times! When I was in my early 20s until my last pregnancy. I also went to Metallica, Suicidal Tendencies concert 94' five months pregnant! And she's now almost 29 and she loves ❤️ metal! Haha...😂🤘
YES, Suicidal Tendencies! They had a HUGE impact on thrash, groove and all kinds of music! Way more than their popularity would have suggested! "All I wanted was a Pepsi...!" @@Metal_Mary
I think Slayer is progenitor of Groove Metal along with a bunch of Crossover bands from the 90's like D.R.I. and Suicidal Tendencies before Pantera's switch to Metal. Pantera perfected it tho. Groove Metal is the hidden metal subgenre that keeps getting misclassified for lack of understanding. Nu Metal is really just Groove Metal same thing as NWOAHM really being Technical Groove Metal. Groove is the sweet spot the bread and butter of metal music.
Send me Your $$ ...love that one!! For all you SINNERS!!😂 I bet he doesn't know that Robert Trujillo is from Suicidal Tendencies is now in Metallica 20yrs! Lol
Dime was a legend. We all wanted to be him in the late 90s early 2000s. The most flamboyant guitarist in all of metal. Just a good soul dime was 😢 had the best hair too 🤷♂️
Three things, to fully understand. How Dimebag Darrell, developed his style. 1. He played guitar, everyday. He took that guitar with him. Where ever he went. That passion and drive, took him above other amazing guitarist. 2. He played live, which definitely. With his brother, made the band skyrocket. 3. He was a very humble individual. Taking time, to greet his fans. Those amazing notes, being played. There are called squeals, freaking amazing.
One of the best live bands. Heavier live. Great with the crowd. So much energy. I had no voice and a lot of pulled muscles after their shows in the mosh pit
Phil influenced an entire new coming of vocalists, even shortly after Pantera got their break. That is probably why you recognize his voice, many people emulate him.
Mate just remember in the world of labels... Metal this and that.. Pantera are 'groove' metal... Just them...nobody else. And why,. because they are heavy as fook...but groovy..😎👊🤟

Imagine an empty gravel parking lot in the woods, several Jerry cans of gasoline, and a stack of shipping pallets for a bonfire. add beer and bunch of high school kids partying on a Friday night with this CD cranked full blast. Welcome to the 90s. I miss those days. 👊🤘
Never seen any live performance more often … that means hundreds! And I still don’t get sick of it! My big request on your pantera journey is my fav song. Even if it’s not a „hit“: the art of shredding live 1990! It tells all about their underestimated talent: in- and outside … you will get it if you’re watching 😝
Ha ha. There was a day back in the 90s where I had a very similar reaction....the first time I heard them. Yeah, to this day, they are still on my playlist. I call it "morning coffee". Another note...the squeal from his guitar, he actually got paid to make that squeal. His guitar sponsor knew the crowd loved it.
Mate I occasionally keep up to date on who reacts to this. As a 39 Yr old man from Manchester I love seeing this kind of stuff. I love the respect and the research you did beforehand. Mate, if you like what you hear here you have a library of music to listen to. It might not have the same impact on you as it did me at the time but you're welcome to join us as Dimebag/Pantera fans. We can show you so much amazing stuff. Have a good day my mate
Every reaction i see has all the comments requesting cemetery gates and I'm broken..the two most mainstream radio played pantera songs. How about their bangers? How about shedding skin, becoming, the art of shredding, 13 steps, sucide notes 1and 2, slaughtered, or any of their songs that actually showcase their true abilities..C'mon where the real fans at?
At this very moment Pantera began to, in fact, dominate metal.
30 years later this song still gives me goosebumps!
When he hits that harmonic right before the breakdown gets me every time
Bro, I’m 52, seen the play live a bunch of times, every time I hear a live track it just brings me back to that moment.
so true
That's my fuckn guitar hero!
Fuck, I miss the brothers. R.I.P.
Me too man... Me too
Saw it live, in 1991. But still get goosebumps every time then see this video.
Not just Groove Metal…. TEXAS Groove Metal. The heaviest breakdown ever in recorded music.
They fuc&$&& perfected the concept of the breakdown. 5 minutes alone…..it’s the first class in all guitarists learning the concept of the breakdown.
At 72 I’m starting to really like metal bands and that is surprising to me. I never listened to the lyrics or the musicianship involved. Thanks youngster 💜👵🏼✌🏼
I introduced this to my wife after we got married. She found my old CD wallet. It was a lot like watching this kid.
Thank God you made it all the timer !
Metal is good at any age it's like getting a workout without working out, really gets heart beating and blood pumping
Greatest heavy metal guitar player ever. R.I.P Dime and Vin
Those goosebumps? You'll still be getting them 33 years, just as I do.
Dimebag was so gifted. Ive never heard anyone else use a whammy so well.
Check out Steve Vai
And yet Kirk is called out for it
Kirk hammett haha
@@cheezy8492Kirk Whammet
uh EVH?..
no one really sang like phil. he set the mold for this type of metal back then. even then the range he had IN THE BEGINNING was extraordinary. the highs and lows he could hit were incredible. concert after concert ended up shredding his vocal cords. listen to him today, he's basically a dinosaur growl.
The video for I'm Broken is the ultimate Pantera in my mind. Heavy and funky.
^^^Yes!
PANTERA= THE BEST TO EVER DO IT!!!
There's a reason Eric Clapton was a fan of Dimebag Darrell....
I'm glad I got to see him at the Spectrum in Philly!
RIP Legend
These videos were some odf the first I used to watch over and over back in the early days of YT.
This video changed my life back in'91. 9 years old, saw this and never looked back!
You from Brum? Can sense an accent?
1.5 million people rip dime n Vinny we miss u still
Yes, Phil's voice established that voice in metal. He was first and the world followed.
This guys face when Dime began soloing and his face as he realised what he was missing by looking at the camera instead of the screen, priceless!!! Dime was a one off, a legend in the truest sense!!! R.I.P to the brothers Abbott such a fucking tragedy!!!! 💔💔
I’ve watched this performance countless times and it still gives me goosebumps!! Such a HUGE sound!!!
Check out "Heresy" live from 1990, if you haven't already.
💯
Dime was a legend in the making. They'll never be another like him that's for damn sure!! RIP🙏
i think eventually there will be (talent wise) no one can replace the man himself, and when we do see an equal talent wise, dimebags name will be written all over him because 10000% dimebag would be the reason of their success as a guitarist. Imagine a kid on the shitter right now rockin a pantera shirt just ripping away on his guitar, no real training, just playing with passion and instinct, who knows lol
Every time I watch this video, I don’t want it to end. Since CFH, something has come up, and I never got to see them. I’m so thankful I got to DamagePlan
He was the jimmy hindrix of my time 😢
Imagine hearing that in the 90's! This is why you kidz are loving this shit today.
Yes, absolutely that's the video I wanted you to see
I feel so bad for you young ones that didn't get to see Pantera live! It was AWESOME! I've still got picks, back stage passes and all other cool shit from the band. Me and some friends hung out with them after a show at the Whiskey in Hollywood, I think it was 89 or 90. Cool fun times, great guys, humble and sweet.
Agreed! Saw them at The Stone and Warfield in SF. The lady who used to cut my hair for 20 years was Sunny of Sunny Productions. She brought them to Sacramento the first time. We had dinner with them the night before their show. Vinnie taught the bartender to make Black Tooth Grins. Fun evening at the Mansion Inn right behind the War Memorial Auditorium.
Yea, people don't always think about it, but they were all really great guys. At least back in the day.@@ramosel
@@solarwinds9363 They were awesome! I hate when parents restrict their kids interests! My youngest went through a disco phase, I hated it! I just asked him not to play it around me. Sorry your mom was so uncool. I'm sure she meant the best for you.
I was in 8th grade last time they toured . They played my city on a Wednesday night. My parents wouldnt let me go.
Everyone's first time reacting to this is always a treat. You never get that reaction a second time, because the second time you're head-banging with the rest of us.
Nothing touches this IMO for raw expression and energy on stage, always blows me away Phil's and Dimebag's expression and movement in this video, it is just instinctual and raw.

RIP dime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you were one of the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't forget Vinnie! If he wasn't back there beating those skins to death the song would have just been good. But the Abbot brothers together made it epic.
I'M BROKEN - their crowning glory.
Perfection.
Old school, so much fun back in those days. This song brings back so many great memories. I actually had this concert on vhs tape
u just witnessed THE greatest breakdown in the history of music🤘🤘
Ah, you are starting to headbang in the breakdown. Excellent.
When pantera finished their show as they passed by Metallica Dimebag Darrel turned to kirt hamlett of Metallica and said" top that one boy" I seen the original pantera in concert in 1995 and their energy and talent was so extreme it was unreal.

Four people Dominated 1.6M russians
Yeah, just thinking about how bad ass it'd been if he'd been a quarter bag🤔
Freaky ahh comment
Don't worry, Homes. That breakdown towards the end gives everyone goosebumps.
One of the best breakdowns ever. R.I.P. Abbott brothers, missed but never forgotten.
Cemetery Gates is a must from Pantera! You can of course have a break from them but Cemetery Gates is probably their best song vocally and lyrically. The guitar is also killer.
Yeah!
Please!!
Def extended studio version for this one!
Gotta play the studio version of Cemetery gates unless you find the extended version music video
One of my favorite Pantera songs. Phil's vocals on that track are incredible. I also enjoy Five Minutes Alone.
Oh brother. Cannot WAIT to see this. I already know your mind has been blown.
Those goosebumps, that feeling you got, that's proof that you're one of us, a Metalhead 🤘🤘🤘
I've fallen down YOUR rabbit hole with the Pantera reactions!!!
And here we are...finally
So now you know why everyone says those certain songs must be heard
Holy Wars....The Punishment Due
Nobody sounds quite like pantera!
Seen them live ‘92 and ‘93 in a small venue and their shit was perfection. Plus I was trippin hard 😎
One of the greatest metal performances ever
Dimebag personifies the definition of the percussive nature of Metal guitar that is so compelling! 🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽
Dime was the king of pinch harmonics and his tone was just beautiful
Your Pantera baptism is now complete, enjoy the ride. Plenty more Pantera bangers out there to react to.
Your gonna freak on this solo and the drop. I love the drop
This DOMINATION thing is the epithomy of live metal music performance - from the claim of Phil's vocal through the development of the idea and riveting solo to resolution by this heavy riff at the end and bowing down with the guitar griff... it's pure joy and satisfaction through and through.
There were 1.6 million people at this concert
Pantera - I'm Broken
Best song in the whole world just my opinion
Glad you enjoyed. I saw them on the tour after this.
One of the best breakdowns ever.
Cowboys From Hell and Vulgar Display of Power are two absolutely amazing albums from start to finish. I saw these guys in concert when Vulgar came out and it was one of the best shows i have ever seen. Phils vocals back then were insane and Dimebag was on another level playing the guitar. If only Dime and his brother were still with us. RIP
Great Southern Trendkill is also amazing, dark and unsettling. Very underrated. The classic's Far Beyond Driver B-side is weak as hell.
When you check out "Cemetery Gates" make sure you get the full version. It just isn't quite the same song without Dime's intro solo, and the cut version removes it completely.
I. Am. HYPED on these reactions.. so genuine n relatable.. friggen hyped on more
Heavy piece of art🤘🤘🤘 Pantera forever!
Pantera were a machine.. keep going down the rabbit hole of this killer outfit of metal 👊🏽
🤘🤘🤘So excited!!! Next Pantera tune you should check out is Floods, or Cemetery Gates!!!
🙏 Cemetery Gates!! I absolutely Love ❤️ that song! Got me through some dark shit! RIP Dimebag & Vinny Rock n peace brothers 🤘🤘🎸♥️🖤 miss ya boys 😔
The slower bit you mentioned is called a breakdown. You can hear it in just about every metal core song these days. Im seeing Pantera in March, im so pumped! RIP vinnie and dimebag... the people that are standing in for them are very worthy.
Dime and Vinnie would absolutely give a head nod to who’s standing in for them. I’m seeing them Feb. 5th
How was it?@@troydioso3149
I say check out their song "Hollow" always makes me cry.
New subscriber here. Greetings from Chile!
Thanks for subbing!
So many good songs
Pantara was one of the best bands back in the day
Not sure if this is groove metal, but I groove to it, and its metal AF, so....
Great react! Keep 'em comin'! "This Love" "Cemetery Gates", "Floods" "Primal Concrete Sledge" "5 Minutes Alone" so many good ones to come...yes Pantera IS Groove Metal...they invented it...it's that little bit of Texas blues sprinkled on top slowing it down making it groooovy

Low key love the amount of treble coming from Vinny’s double bass!!

Nice reaction bud! Thanks for doing this vid!
……this right hear my friend….. Pantera at their “Apex” 🔥❤️🎸
……also was our anthem heading into the 90’s !!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the best live bands. Heavier live. Great with the crowd. So much energy. I had no voice and a lot of pulled muscles after their shows in the mosh pit
Epic! 😎So glad you reacted to it! You might want to check out “mouth for war” or “this love” next 🤔🤣
Phil influenced an entire new coming of vocalists, even shortly after Pantera got their break. That is probably why you recognize his voice, many people emulate him.
Mate just remember in the world of labels...
Metal this and that..
Pantera are 'groove' metal...
Just them...nobody else.
And why,. because they are heavy as fook...but groovy..😎👊🤟

Never seen any live performance more often … that means hundreds! And I still don’t get sick of it!
My big request on your pantera journey is my fav song. Even if it’s not a „hit“: the art of shredding live 1990! It tells all about their underestimated talent: in- and outside … you will get it if you’re watching 😝
This is what i looking for... My grandpa friend from moscow told my granpa,i was there,and a lot of people talking about 'we will never forget'
I saw them in '91 in a tiny little club in Phoenix. There was maybe 50 people in the building. Mind blowing.
I was lucky to see these guy live, Megadeth, Metallica, Sepultura, Slayer, Death, all in their prime. All epic, really good live. Lots of others too.
I seen Pantera a lot in my teens . Lived in DFW most of my life. The OG s are missed.
So glad you did the live gig🤘🤘
Ha ha. There was a day back in the 90s where I had a very similar reaction....the first time I heard them. Yeah, to this day, they are still on my playlist. I call it "morning coffee".

The look on Dime’s face after he hits that last chord is priceless…He was sooooo happy to be doing what he was doing😌
Your face when shit gets real makes me chuckle, haha . You're one of us, one of us!
Pantera's Cemetery Gate is a must to react. One of the most iconic song of the 90's and still kicking these days. =)
1.6 million people in the audience! The low flying helicopters were there to cool people down as they were dying from exhaustion.
Dime will always be a guitar legend in metal! RIP Dime!
*Please check out 'Cemetery Gates' (video version) by Pantera. It's amazing!*
Mouth for War, that NEEDS to be the next reaction!
Pantera took Metal to its Pinnacle right here on this Song , it is 2nd to None 🎸🔥💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Long live Dime and Vinnie. Both greats and will always be missed.
@4:02 they are their own genre, even tho they play in the heaviest arena!
Wished you could have seen them live brotha...I was blessed to see them 8 times...please do Mouth For War!
