@@jcoolverine3483 My piano teacher in college told me that McCoy Tyner, one of Coltrane's piano players, said that it took him 20 years to understand what Coltrane was trying to do musically with that song.
Rick..Big Fan man!! Wanted to say a few things about the video. We tuned down to Standard D minus 20 cents on those old Korg digital tuners!! Also..All those single F notes are all pull ups!! Not triplets..I’d love to be on your show sometime!! Thx for the plug..
Stuff nightmares were made of but such beauty and art copying you guys (PANTERA) right down to the pranks and jokes n stuff in the rehersal room after rehearsals and just gig larfs and funnies.!!! Back in 93 when i was in a PANTERA tribute band we slogged our arses off trying to get things spot on including using piezo tweeters wired into my cabs...it was scary but i would go back to them days in a heartbeat and do it all over again...there will never ever be another band like PANTERA nor an era like that..💖💖💖💖👌👍🤘🤘🤘🤘
Speaking of big fans, thank you beyond sincerely for being part of the band who carried the flag for everything I ever loved or cared about in music in the time when everyone else was going soft. The strength and inspiration you guys provided for this timid, small town guy are things I will carry for the rest of my life.
I knew I'd see you here Ola. I just watched pilgrimage to the Abbott grave with your wife, very emotional. Great video. Inspiring me to learn to play "Vulgar" LP and here's my start. I'll be consulting you too, wish me luck, lol.
Yeah, man. Despite Eddie having trouble working with people -- especially lead singers -- there are tons of stories that highlight that he's a really sweet, compassionate guy. The Dimebag story is the pinnacle of that. And what's cool is you can hear EVH's influence in Dime's playing. Awesome.
I have a good friend that's a cop; real tough guy, you're unlikely to ever see him cry. But he's a huge Pantera fan and I remember the day Dime was killed, I assumed that he already knew and said "sucks about Dime". He didn't know; I told him & fucked up his whole day. He was fighting back tears in his police uniform and had to step away from the conversation.
I never knew that story. I've heard lots of fucked-up stuff and a few good ones, and I knew that I have to reserve judgment, because not many people have been through what he has. But that's a class act; and I wish EVH would connect with his old bass player and long time friend Mike Anthony.
1990? Was my second show. Exodus opened, then Suicidal Tendencies. Waiting while Pantera set up, I was standing by one of the bars and Mike Muir stepped up to get a drink. I was 14, starstruck. He looked over and I said "Hi." MM: "Hello." Me: "That was killer." MM: "Thanks." Me (to self) beelining for the pit: "you fu(k!n3 IDIOT."
Nothing could have prepared me for what would happen that night at the Ector County Coliseum. First concert in my life, and Pantera at that! Don't know how I made it out of there uninjured but, still one of the most intense things I've ever experienced.
@@stevenwilliams1805 you may have been injured but the adrenaline, the intensity of those early Pantera pits was insane. Injuries like that, you find out decades later when they're the 1st place arthritis settles in.
Pantera took metal to a new level of grove and power. I think they surpassed even the big 4. I never seen so many people mosh pitting ever at their concerts. Dimebag was a badass. I loved the way he came out acting like the guitar was a weapon.
The mosh pit at Pantera shows were amazing! I haven't found anything even close to that since then. Of course I'm in my 40s now so that might have something to do with it... but still, Pantera shows are timeless.
Pantera is credited for keeping metal alive when all looked hopeless. You had the whole grunge thing going on, but you also had bands like Bush, RHCP and those college bar scene bands that were taking a huge chunk of the music world. Then there was Dime, Vinnie, Rex and Phil who kept grinding out one stellar track after another.
I liked them all!!! Soundgarden, Tool, RHCP, Pantera. I didn't like Bush or other post grunge bands... Nor Nu metal. For me personally, Pantera was the last GREAT metal band.
It's heartbreaking and it would have blown Dimes (Darryl) mind if he so how could have known that Eddie would make that amazing gesture. I remembering reading about this immediately after the funeral and it I remember correctly. The brothers were able to meet Eddie a several times and Dime really wanted to buy the Bumblebee guitar...the original guitar! But Ed was too attached to it and did not want to sell it, but he did offer to make him a copy. Well Ed never got around to it, because as we know Eddie was facing some serious demons in 2004. However, when Darryl passed away, Eddie pulled himself together and made the very generous offer by giving Dimebag the actual original guitar, and he placed it into Darrell Abbott's coffin himself. I met Pantera backstage in 1994, and they were very down to earth people, very cool people. When I asked Dime who his biggest influences are he said "absolutely Eddie Van Halen! " RIP Dime!
Seen in an interview with Eddie that he had Vinnie place it in dimes coffin because he wanted his last memory of dime being of them hanging out together
@@LeeHibbs Yeah, I just read the article on VanHalen news desk. Apparently Ed gave the guitar to Dimes girlfriend: Rita Haney to place in the coffin. Ed was about to do it himself but wanted his last memory of Daryl to be the one when he last saw Darryl and he had a big smile on his face, hanging out with Eddie. Per the article, Eddie stated that Darryl was a complete original and when it came to gifting him the black and yellow stripped bumblebee guitar, that Darryl had always dreamed of owning, Ed wanted him to have the original. Such a magnificent display of respect. No doubt the feeling was mutual. Later Ed stated that Darryl left him a voicemail 4 days before his death thanking him for giving the world the most amazing music, and for inspiring him to play.
@@benparsons4979 yep. Dime had a blues-based style with some Texas boogie thrown in. He once called "Tush" by ZZ Top as one of his favorite songs. You might not hear Pantera and immediately think of ZZ, but there are subtle Billy Gibbons-esque tricks that Dime used.
I absolutely love that Pantera often had the balls to just leave the just the bass going under the solos without any rhythm guitar support. Rex is a great player and just really walked those sections. It gave them such a great feel.
Dimebag Darrell was one of those rare guitarists who actually preferred solid-state amps over tubes. Apparently he couldn't get that buzz-saw tone of any tube amps he'd tried.
Adam Aroeste They worked hard and long for it and Vinnie Paul was instrumental in tweaking his and Dime‘s sound - they released four independent albums between 1981 and 88, only the last of which showed the direction in which they were headed (mainly because of Phil‘s more aggressive vocals. But even „Cowboys From Hell“ still sounds like a transition from the 80s into the 90s. By the time „Vulgar“ came out, they had flipped the sound switch completely and everybody’s jaws must have dropped, when they heard that album for the first time. Scott Ian describes it pretty well in that VH-1 episode of „Behind the Music“: „How did they go from here to (t)here!?“
Even after all these years the Eddie story still gets me. Rock In Paradise forever Eddie, Dime, and big Vin. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. You enriched so many of our lives🤘
I was hoping that we’d get Rex’s isolated bass track during the solo, seeing that Pantera often kept a true four-piece sound on their tracks without rhythm guitar overdubs. Rex is the glue that keeps the song together while Dime shreds.
One thing I absolutely love about that is, despite having never been so privileged to experience it, they could’ve played a show and had it sound like the recording without backing tracks. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate what many artist do, but I want to see them play what they recorded. I want live to be equal or better than recorded(and that doesn’t necessarily mean the mix, because venues can be difficult).
@@joelmacdonald6994 I saw them 5 times starting with the Cowboys From Hell tour in a small venue that held maybe 200 people. They were always spot on to the record back then. After years of touring Phil's vocals started to get pretty rough but those early tours were amazing.
@@88_TROUBLE_88 yea he's crapped on a ton for not shredding on bass. Yet he had the most musical training and drove every song. He understood his role and executed it perfectly.
Can’t imagine that half that band is gone. Solos by Dime were a huge cut above anything happening at the time. You can tell he drew from so many musical influences to shred a solo with that much musicality going on.
Pantera one night, Fleetwood Mac another, the Doors, classical... Rick, the obvious work you put into this channel, and the straight-up enjoyment factor, are off the charts! You are a master. Thank you.
Love “Vulgar display of power”, such an energetic, driving, pumping, fun album! I’m normally a prog and jazz-fusion guy, but never embarrassed to say I love this album and the late Abbott brothers in particular!
Just before recording Rust in Peace, Dave Mustaine actually asked Dime to join Megadeth. And he accepted. But the catch was that he would only join if Vinnie would too. Megadeth actually needed a drummer too, but Dave had just hired Nick Menza for the job, so the deal fell flat. I can't imagine Megadeth with Ellefson, Mustaine and the Abbots, but I bet it would've been awesome.
@@halColombo his brother was nothing without him? Vinnie Paul was a phenomenal drummer. Dimebag was the more transcendental musician bit don't slander Vinnie Paul's legacy like that.
Dimebag said his use of Bends comes from his upbringing in Texas and the use of Bends in older Texan western and blues music. He said by using techniques like bending he was keeping it "texas style" even while playing metal.
@@garybourke468 What? No you're full of it! Ha ha ha! He actually sucked pretty bad at the blues and there is footage provning it. Search, ha ha ha. You a fanboy 😂
@@albinullanger7862 a video of the band messing around while wasted? you call that proof? lmao get a grip. listen to their cover of Planet Caravan and Dime's rendition of the solo. he could play anything he wanted.
Dime truly was one of the greats. He busted his ass building his chops, instead of building his ability to cover up mistakes in post, like, you know, MOST "metal" artists nowadays. His talent was one of a very raw and visceral nature. That's the key ingredient missing in many bands today. Dime was all heart. Too many musicians today are trying to emulate that character with technology, but it just doesn't work.
I didn't realize how blessed l was when l used to live in Ft.Worth back in the late 80's, l think l was 21 then. But l just was driving around looking for a bar and stumbled upon Joe's Garage, Pantera on the old sign it read. Im Like "Hell yeah"!!!. Got so drunk and fell backstage with so many ppl back there and no one helped me up except here comes the band and it was Vinnie Paul. "You alright man?" I nodded my head and gave 👍 and a incoherent drunken thanks came out. Great guys.
Pantera is and always will be the best metal group that ever was and what a tragedy it is without Vinnie and Dime here with us.. There music and impression they made on this planet will live on until the end of days.
Rip abbot brothers. Had me in tears when you started talking about dimes death. One of the first proper metal bands I ever got into when I was a kid. Shred in peace 🤘
I'll tell you Rick is one of the few musicians I've watched that likes all kinds of music from 1960"s country western to metal to pop. That's why I love his channel......
Both GREAT bands, and I'm pretty picky, when it comes to metal bands. Gojira sound better LIVE, than any band in history. Period. Don't believe me? Go pick any live song of theirs, here on UA-cam. You'll be FLOORED!!!!
I agree with alot that is said here especially gojira and death (as ppl have asked for before) but understand those wouldnt get nearly as many views as metallica, pantera, aic, tool, etc.
I mentioned Harvest because it's the most accesible from the album and it still is a great song with lots of things to analyze. But yes, Bleak too, as well as every song from Blackwater Park.
While you’re at it, you should do an interview with producer Terry Date- and discuss his involvement with the heaviest and most sonically punishing album of all time-Far Beyond Driven
Love this song. I remember the first time I heard Pantera, it was this album that I got in the mail (thanks Columbia House monthly suggestion!). When I got to Regular People it was literally like nothing I had ever heard before and I was hooked.
With all due respect to Dimebag (and that's a LOT), he wouldn't have had the sound he did without EVH to build off of. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Music is progressive, and Dimebag created a unique sound that only he had, but a lot of the roots were in EVH's playing. There's a reason Dime wanted a copy of EVH's guitar.
Did work experience in a record store as a high school kid, they weren’t allowed to pay me, but allowed me to choose an album for free - chose the new release of Vulgar after hearing the first 2seconds of it. Loved it ever since. What quality musicians! Great album.
Dave H ... My sister was married to Darrell`s cousin and I got to meet him and hang out with him in 1984. He gave me a guitar lesson on an old Fender acoustic guitar of a Def Leppard song. I moved to Dallas in 1985 to work and got to see Pantera play in clubs. The first time I saw them play he jumped on top of a table in front of the stage and kicked beers off of it on the opening song, including an entire pitcher of beer. I never forgot the name Pantera after that. He lit a roman candle off my sister`s stove once and "didn`t make it outside in time" so I got to see some of his indoor fireworks antics. Burned holes in the couch, the curtains and the carpet. My sister was pissed!
I was really waiting for hearing drums and bass solo through that part. The fact that they didn't overdub any rhythm guitars there and it grooves like hell makes it an even greater part.
I was about to say the same. Rex is kicking ass here (well, pretty much everywhere else too ;) ), it's such a shame he didn't get mentioned. The bass line here is soooo jazz-driven. By the way - Rex himself has commented this video,did you see it? :)
I like how Rick bean around through all the generations n he has an appreciation for for all “rock” /“metal” he’s not just some arrogant “boomer” who hates anything that isn’t from the 70’s he sees and appreciates the evolution n progression of guitar playing through the decades n genres cause he has a true love for it. Not just a love for “his generation”
Yup! Best riff of the song. Especially the way they do it live.i wish he had done any song other than this one tho. It's probably the simplest, most basic song they have, excluding that solo of course
One thing I love about Vulgar Display of Power is that on several songs, including Walk, the rhythm guitar drops out during the solo and Rex and Vinnie carry the song.
What is crazy to me is that the solo has so much gain and distortion and that usually makes every mistake very audible. Dimebag played so clean you hear absolutely no hidden screw ups at all.
Phil had the most amazing scream/growl voice....you can understand every word. Darryl is a guitar god, vinny is a master drummer (very underrated , in my opinion ) and rex is an amazing bassist! I saw them live once (i was 16) and it was SO AMAZING! the energy was off the charts.
Thank you. Just been discovering Rick Beato and vids like these. All this analysis was great by Beato, but he could easily have taken another 20 minutes to not just break it down but actually say WHY it was great. Not enough of that. And one of those points is Phil's singing. For all of Anselmo's "faults" (or whatever you want to say), it takes something special to do the scream/growl thing AND still be understandable. The vocal delievry was so powerful. What else makes this song great is just that it's an anthem to everyone who is or imagines themselves to be a badass and wants to brush away the pests around them. Almost any teenage boy/young man loves to have that kind of clout. I mean, this song is great for so many reasons and that's why it still gets air time 30 years later.
Walter T we'll leave the last name at that was the yellow black stripped guitar incidence. The guitar was a Kramer. It was broken on stage many times and was rebuilt with dowels and pins. I used to play it as an early teen. My memory tells me the guitar was nicknamed ted? It's been 30 years. Please don't quote me on the name. It's been a while. They were all fun wild and not claiming good manners on Cooper street at UTA. On weekends. Ha ha ha. Anyone from Arlington knows the place. Love the time. It was all passion. And again I can't thank you enough for appreciating all of the music. From classical to rock. Go Rick
Thanks for posting, I hung out after hours w/ the brothers many times. One time we went to their Mom's house in Arlington and did shots of Crown. Dime went into the garage to practice which he had sound proofed, and Vinnie took us back to his room where he had a mixing board that had an early version of The great Southern trend Kill, it was an honor, but as a guitarist at the time I regret not hanging w/ Dime. Your vid brought back memories! THNX!!
@@nowimhigh Sorry I was there CFH had been out for years and Vinnie told me they were living there, he had a video security system installed for his Mom. There's a video here that has Vin on Head Bangers Ball giving a tour of his Mom's house B4 he had his house built 2 or 3 albums after CFH.
Dime and vinnie was like a well oiled machine many many hours playing together no doubt. Greatness like this isn’t exactly built overnight add Phil to the mix and yikes. Those brothers ate and slept metal and music. Phil’s voice was absolutely amazing for this type of music.
Oh dude... my favourite part of his solo is where he "Echo's " from the 2nd fret to the fourteenth on the B string and then goes into his next pattern. I remember reading a Guitar World interview with him and he seemed like the most humblest of people. Stories of him giving his guitars away to people who were down on their luck. What a dude... what a band. He said in the same interview that he had a guitar in every room of his house including the bathroom. Legend.

By the time „Vulgar“ came out, they had flipped the sound switch completely and everybody’s jaws must have dropped, when they heard that album for the first time. Scott Ian describes it pretty well in that VH-1 episode of „Behind the Music“: „How did they go from here to (t)here!?“
Adam Aroeste and justice for all had similar tone
Yeah. I compared them to what the STP did to the big 4 of grunge in early 90s.
Even after all these years the Eddie story still gets me. Rock In Paradise forever Eddie, Dime, and big Vin. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. You enriched so many of our lives🤘
Dime's solo is so crisp and clean in its execution. He just made it sound so effortless. He also had a really unique sound and style.
I was hoping that we’d get Rex’s isolated bass track during the solo, seeing that Pantera often kept a true four-piece sound on their tracks without rhythm guitar overdubs. Rex is the glue that keeps the song together while Dime shreds.
One thing I absolutely love about that is, despite having never been so privileged to experience it, they could’ve played a show and had it sound like the recording without backing tracks. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate what many artist do, but I want to see them play what they recorded. I want live to be equal or better than recorded(and that doesn’t necessarily mean the mix, because venues can be difficult).
Rex is so underrated its not even funny.. How the fuck he's managed to exist as overlooked and underrated as he has been is just mind blowing
@@joelmacdonald6994 I saw them 5 times starting with the Cowboys From Hell tour in a small venue that held maybe 200 people. They were always spot on to the record back then. After years of touring Phil's vocals started to get pretty rough but those early tours were amazing.
@@88_TROUBLE_88 yea he's crapped on a ton for not shredding on bass. Yet he had the most musical training and drove every song. He understood his role and executed it perfectly.
Can’t imagine that half that band is gone. Solos by Dime were a huge cut above anything happening at the time. You can tell he drew from so many musical influences to shred a solo with that much musicality going on.
I'm a grown ass man. I still get all teary talking Dimebag. RIP Dime. Thanks Rick for the great episode.
Amen brother.
Pantera one night, Fleetwood Mac another, the Doors, classical... Rick, the obvious work you put into this channel, and the straight-up enjoyment factor, are off the charts! You are a master. Thank you.
Thanks again! I'm tubin' out on Rick this weekend and gonna show some support too. Keep it up!
That's a touching twist I never knew about Eddie Van Halen-a rarity, but an insanely cool move by him.
I wanna thumbs-up ya, but you're at 69 likes.
Love “Vulgar display of power”, such an energetic, driving, pumping, fun album! I’m normally a prog and jazz-fusion guy, but never embarrassed to say I love this album and the late Abbott brothers in particular!
Same here! I'm into Herbie Hancock but love Pantera. We should be friends or something.
Interested if you guys ever became "friends", are still out there or if y'all died from covert 18 or some ish... ✌️👽🧘🐂🛸
I know. The whole Pantera catalog is amazing. Cowboys, Vulgar, Driven, and Trendkill.
Just before recording Rust in Peace, Dave Mustaine actually asked Dime to join Megadeth. And he accepted.
But the catch was that he would only join if Vinnie would too. Megadeth actually needed a drummer too, but Dave had just hired Nick Menza for the job, so the deal fell flat.
I can't imagine Megadeth with Ellefson, Mustaine and the Abbots, but I bet it would've been awesome.
Dime was sooo sheltered musically. His brother was nothing without him. Should have joined Mustaine..
It’s a good thing this didn’t happen. The world would have been robbed of Pantera.
@@halColombo his brother was nothing without him? Vinnie Paul was a phenomenal drummer. Dimebag was the more transcendental musician bit don't slander Vinnie Paul's legacy like that.
@@mastod0n1 I can't have opinions? I was even nice about it..
@@halColomboyou can have opinions if you’re right lol
Gojira next! Flying whales would be a great song for this.
Nothing Is Sacred any Gojira song could easily and reasonably have a 30-40 minute video
Oroboros would also be great
I second that.
How do I double like
Totally :D
Whoa, Dimebag had the bending technique of a refined blues player.
Boutique bending.10/10 would listen again.
Dimebag said his use of Bends comes from his upbringing in Texas and the use of Bends in older Texan western and blues music. He said by using techniques like bending he was keeping it "texas style" even while playing metal.
Julio A. . He was a refined blues player
@@garybourke468 What? No you're full of it! Ha ha ha! He actually sucked pretty bad at the blues and there is footage provning it. Search, ha ha ha. You a fanboy 😂
@@albinullanger7862 a video of the band messing around while wasted? you call that proof? lmao get a grip. listen to their cover of Planet Caravan and Dime's rendition of the solo. he could play anything he wanted.

Dimes tone was amazing.
Sounds so flat and dry

Dime truly was one of the greats. He busted his ass building his chops, instead of building his ability to cover up mistakes in post, like, you know, MOST "metal" artists nowadays. His talent was one of a very raw and visceral nature. That's the key ingredient missing in many bands today. Dime was all heart. Too many musicians today are trying to emulate that character with technology, but it just doesn't work.
It's happening!!! The Return Of THE BEARD!!! Amazing video Rick.
why are you the WORST CHANNEL EVER?
@WORST CHANNEL EVER walk on home boy..
@@sundigest1121 🤣
He let the beard grow out because he was going to do a frickin' _Pantera_ song, man.
WORST CHANNEL EVER he just got lazy? That like almost a weeks worth of growth, you dont just forget to shave for an entire week
Listening to Dime solo is like listening to water flow. He loved playing guitar more than just about anything. Miss him.
As a drummer for over 30 years, I've never had any turn to me and say "hey, play the caveman fill!"
This made me all sad for Darrell again. RIP you legend. Also for Eddie, who was so generous towards Darrell. Two legends.
One of the most enjoyable channels on UA-cam, easily. Full of enthusiasm, warmth and knowledge. Thanks Rick.
I've been covering dimebag solos and they're no joke.
The best metal guitarist imo.
I love Dime but his solos are a pain to play. I'm scared to learn the solo to Cemetery Gates.
That solo is so clean and precise, and has so much swing/groove. Dime is a true legend. I honestly think he's UNDERRATED as a solo composer.
Underrated? I don't think so. One of his solos is on Rolling Stone's top greatest solos of all time.
He’s incredible yes but I don’t think he’s underrated. Everyone knows and loves his talent and composition ability
I didn't realize how blessed l was when l used to live in Ft.Worth back in the late 80's, l think l was 21 then. But l just was driving around looking for a bar and stumbled upon Joe's Garage, Pantera on the old sign it read. Im Like "Hell yeah"!!!. Got so drunk and fell backstage with so many ppl back there and no one helped me up except here comes the band and it was Vinnie Paul. "You alright man?" I nodded my head and gave 👍 and a incoherent drunken thanks came out. Great guys.
So, you were early .. “Hell Yeah!” … lol !!
Loving all the metal songs you’re giving justice to - keep it coming!
Rex's bass part in Dime's solo really drives the solo forward. Rex is one of the best doing that.
There are so many great songs pantera made. Another is I'm broken
Pantera is and always will be the best metal group that ever was and what a tragedy it is without Vinnie and Dime here with us.. There music and impression they made on this planet will live on until the end of days.
True! Their .. btw
Please, please, please, PLEASE tell me you're gonna do more 90's metal.
Danzig or Holy Wars or SOMETHING.
Seriously. I LOVE the metal episodes!!!
some Sepultura would be great!
Holy Wars!
Spanish UA-camr ShaunTrack has some metal analysis. Check it.
Anything within the first four albums of Danzig - besides Mother
I agree first four Danzig Album's with the ultimate line up , plenty of cave man drumming for Rick to pull faces too.
Rip abbot brothers. Had me in tears when you started talking about dimes death. One of the first proper metal bands I ever got into when I was a kid. Shred in peace 🤘
I'll tell you Rick is one of the few musicians I've watched that likes all kinds of music from 1960"s country western to metal to pop. That's why I love his channel......
Would love to see more metal analyses, starting with Bleed by Meshuggah (Tomas Haake is a maniac), or Flying Whales by Gojira
Bleed is unreal. That would be a long episode!
Nah. Keep doing metal giants only. Megadeth, slayer, Metallica etc.
Yes bleed.
Both GREAT bands, and I'm pretty picky, when it comes to metal bands. Gojira sound better LIVE, than any band in history. Period. Don't believe me? Go pick any live song of theirs, here on UA-cam. You'll be FLOORED!!!!
I agree with alot that is said here especially gojira and death (as ppl have asked for before) but understand those wouldnt get nearly as many views as metallica, pantera, aic, tool, etc.
I'm a simple man. I see Pantera, I click
Harvest by Opeth would fit perfectly in one of these videos, I'm sure.
Bleak
I mentioned Harvest because it's the most accesible from the album and it still is a great song with lots of things to analyze. But yes, Bleak too, as well as every song from Blackwater Park.
@@TROONTLEX The Drapery Falls might be even more interesting perhaps, since it has the acoustic parts, riffs, e-bow leads etc.
I know, but that's 10 minutes long and that's a lot of time when you have to stop every 10 seconds to admire what's happening.
Something off Damnation perhaps?
“Only an original… deserves an original.” Ooph… that was a gut-shot 🥹🫡🤘
That solo by itself is spine-tingling..... RIP
While you’re at it, you should do an interview with producer Terry Date- and discuss his involvement with the heaviest and most sonically punishing album of all time-Far Beyond Driven
We really need a Black Sabbath WMTSG soon!
He said in his best 20 intro vid he cannot even mentioned the name of this band for copyright issue. So a whole video is not likely.
I love this guy, his love of music is infectious
Life has got in the way for 25 years. Finally I go get to see my favorite band Pantera in nashville. Can't wait to see you soon Rex.keep rocking
Best Dime/Vinnie guitar/drum work combo ever is _Regular People_
Excellent song!
Love this song. I remember the first time I heard Pantera, it was this album that I got in the mail (thanks Columbia House monthly suggestion!). When I got to Regular People it was literally like nothing I had ever heard before and I was hooked.
@@IlliniDog01 i got my copy from columbia house too lol! The ol' get 10 free and then buy 6 more @ $45 each scam...
Not really a fan of Eddie Van Halen but what a legend for giving up his own guitar for Dime 🤟😀🤟
I couldn't have stated my exact feelings any better
Why wouldn't one like EVH? He seems like a cool dude. Just with some issues lol.
Yep. 100% agree. My mouth was literally fl00red as I learned this mystical information.
With all due respect to Dimebag (and that's a LOT), he wouldn't have had the sound he did without EVH to build off of. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Music is progressive, and Dimebag created a unique sound that only he had, but a lot of the roots were in EVH's playing. There's a reason Dime wanted a copy of EVH's guitar.
I am sure they’re putting that guitar tongood use and jamming up in heaven now.
I never thought a video about Pantera would make a man cry.
Did work experience in a record store as a high school kid, they weren’t allowed to pay me, but allowed me to choose an album for free - chose the new release of Vulgar after hearing the first 2seconds of it. Loved it ever since. What quality musicians! Great album.
Saw Pantera in Dallas in...'96? White Zombie opened. Most brutal pit I ever experienced! Left with a giant boot-print across my face!
Dave H ... My sister was married to Darrell`s cousin and I got to meet him and hang out with him in 1984. He gave me a guitar lesson on an old Fender acoustic guitar of a Def Leppard song. I moved to Dallas in 1985 to work and got to see Pantera play in clubs. The first time I saw them play he jumped on top of a table in front of the stage and kicked beers off of it on the opening song, including an entire pitcher of beer. I never forgot the name Pantera after that. He lit a roman candle off my sister`s stove once and "didn`t make it outside in time" so I got to see some of his indoor fireworks antics. Burned holes in the couch, the curtains and the carpet. My sister was pissed!
That sounds about right! Love that!
How can’t you mention Rexs playing during the guitar solo? It compliments the solo tastefully it would not work without it.
I was really waiting for hearing drums and bass solo through that part. The fact that they didn't overdub any rhythm guitars there and it grooves like hell makes it an even greater part.
I was about to say the same. Rex is kicking ass here (well, pretty much everywhere else too ;) ), it's such a shame he didn't get mentioned. The bass line here is soooo jazz-driven.
By the way - Rex himself has commented this video,did you see it? :)
I like how Rick bean around through all the generations n he has an appreciation for for all “rock” /“metal” he’s not just some arrogant “boomer” who hates anything that isn’t from the 70’s he sees and appreciates the evolution n progression of guitar playing through the decades n genres cause he has a true love for it. Not just a love for “his generation”
The drums are so lyrical and powerful. You can hear the guitars playing in your head even with the soloed drums.
I am here for the airdrumming 4:20 xD
Dude! The ending! Vinnies rocking/Swaying drumming in the outro! It's the cherry on top of the icing of the cake bro!
Agreed. I was disappointed we didn't get a break down......of the breakdown.
Oh yea.. As a drummer that's my favorite part of the song.
I thought for sure Rick would do that outro RiFF so Metal!
Yup! Best riff of the song. Especially the way they do it live.i wish he had done any song other than this one tho. It's probably the simplest, most basic song they have, excluding that solo of course
Every pantera live show just blows my mind how tight, flawless and energetic their playing was from start to finish
Navid Khan Those guys were on point every time. One of the sharpest bands ever.
Forgot how out of this world the guitar solo on this is.
One thing I love about Vulgar Display of Power is that on several songs, including Walk, the rhythm guitar drops out during the solo and Rex and Vinnie carry the song.
What is crazy to me is that the solo has so much gain and distortion and that usually makes every mistake very audible. Dimebag played so clean you hear absolutely no hidden screw ups at all.
*NEVER* stop this series. Please.
Darrell's solos are so creative! Wow!
Phil had the most amazing scream/growl voice....you can understand every word. Darryl is a guitar god, vinny is a master drummer (very underrated , in my opinion ) and rex is an amazing bassist! I saw them live once (i was 16) and it was SO AMAZING! the energy was off the charts.
Thank you. Just been discovering Rick Beato and vids like these. All this analysis was great by Beato, but he could easily have taken another 20 minutes to not just break it down but actually say WHY it was great. Not enough of that. And one of those points is Phil's singing. For all of Anselmo's "faults" (or whatever you want to say), it takes something special to do the scream/growl thing AND still be understandable. The vocal delievry was so powerful.
What else makes this song great is just that it's an anthem to everyone who is or imagines themselves to be a badass and wants to brush away the pests around them. Almost any teenage boy/young man loves to have that kind of clout. I mean, this song is great for so many reasons and that's why it still gets air time 30 years later.
Mr. Beato thank you for isolated Dimebag solo \m/ \m/ RESPECT :D
I love Pantera... This song is just SO GOOD!
I always fall back on Pantera, so much power in their music, can’t be beat!!
I had to pause everything else in my life when I saw that you released one of these for a Pantera song
RIP Dime. Respect Rick, great stuff as always; you sir, are a gent.
*djent
Never knew that about Eddie Van Halen, class thing to do.
That story about EVH doing all he could for Dime just gets a lump in my throat hearing it😥🎵🎸🎶
You should do The Mars Volta that's a band that needs some disection
He got close. He did At The Drive-In. I figure he'll get there. I agree with you though.
@@pitpride1220 yeah that ead close but I need cicatriz or golaith, I need to know how the fuck those songs work I cant figure them out
Ourobourus
It would be awesome to do something from De-Loused or Frances... gosh I really hope he does that!
Met their drummer last year in Berkeley.
Damn. I was so hoping it was “cowboys from hell”. Oh well I’m watching anyway because I like Rick and Pantera.
Same
I'm sure Pantera will have at least 5 episodes by the time we reach episode 300.
@@MaynardOwns Episode 300 ->> THIS IS PANTERA!!
Walter T we'll leave the last name at that was the yellow black stripped guitar incidence. The guitar was a Kramer. It was broken on stage many times and was rebuilt with dowels and pins. I used to play it as an early teen. My memory tells me the guitar was nicknamed ted? It's been 30 years. Please don't quote me on the name. It's been a while.
They were all fun wild and not claiming good manners on Cooper street at UTA. On weekends. Ha ha ha. Anyone from Arlington knows the place.
Love the time. It was all passion. And again I can't thank you enough for appreciating all of the music. From classical to rock.
Go Rick
Thanks for posting, I hung out after hours w/ the brothers many times. One time we went to their Mom's house in Arlington and did shots of Crown. Dime went into the garage to practice which he had sound proofed, and Vinnie took us back to his room where he had a mixing board that had an early version of The great Southern trend Kill, it was an honor, but as a guitarist at the time I regret not hanging w/ Dime. Your vid brought back memories! THNX!!
They already had their own houses then. They haven't lived at the mom's since pre CFH days.
@@nowimhigh Sorry I was there CFH had been out for years and Vinnie told me they were living there, he had a video security system installed for his Mom. There's a video here that has Vin on Head Bangers Ball giving a tour of his Mom's house B4 he had his house built 2 or 3 albums after CFH.
Please Hangar 18, Holy Wars and Tornado of Souls by Megadeth and anything by Iron Maiden.
Hallowed be Thy Name would be excellent.
Holy Wars would be great.
i second holy wars
Dime and vinnie was like a well oiled machine many many hours playing together no doubt. Greatness like this isn’t exactly built overnight add Phil to the mix and yikes. Those brothers ate and slept metal and music. Phil’s voice was absolutely amazing for this type of music.
That final riff always does the job. Possibly the best riff of the song.
One of my all time favorite songs!!!!!
Oh dude... my favourite part of his solo is where he "Echo's " from the 2nd fret to the fourteenth on the B string and then goes into his next pattern. I remember reading a Guitar World interview with him and he seemed like the most humblest of people. Stories of him giving his guitars away to people who were down on their luck. What a dude... what a band. He said in the same interview that he had a guitar in every room of his house including the bathroom. Legend.
Sometimes you gotta play and poo. Inspiration comes anywhere, anytime, from anyone.
I'm 48 now ,but this is still awesome.
I'm 60🤘
What a beautiful hommage to the masters of groove! Pantera = brotherhood of metal, inside and outside the band.
This Riff makes me smile every time
