  • On July 24, 1990, Pantera released their 5th studio album, Cowboys From Hell. An album that is widely regarded as one of the most influential Metal records of the early 90s.
    It’s considered to be the band's breakthrough album and it signified a dramatic transition in their career. They had gone from an all out Van Halen loving Hair Metal 4 piece, to an innovative grove metal thrash band.
    Cowboys from Hell would be their first major label release and would see them touring with Judas Priest, as well as playing the iconic Monsters Of Rock Festival to a crowd of over 500,000 people.
    #Pantera #CowboysFromHell
    The early 90s Pantera sound truly was something remarkable but it had some stiff competition to contend with. Megadeth were riding high with Rust In Peace, Judas Priest had unleashed Painkiller and Alice In Chains were pioneering the new Seattle Sound movement known as Grunge, with their debut LP, Facelift.
    Pantera though had something very unique about them in the form of two passionate musical loving brothers, Vincent Paul Abbott and Darrell Lance Abbott. Both born in Texas in the 1960s, the pair would be born into a world of music.
    And although the real Pantera journey began in 1990 with the release of Cowboys From Hell, their journey to becoming Pantera started long before they were even born with their Father, Jerry Abbott.
    Jerry Abbott was an American country music singer, sound engineer, and record producer. This is the man that would not only encourage his two young sons, Vinnie and Darrell, to become musicians, he would also produce Pantera’s first 4 albums. He was also becoming a teenager in the mid 50s when Elvis Presley was about to change music forever with the birth of Rock and Roll.
    It seemed that fate had only one thing in store for the Abbott brothers and they would be at the forefront of Heavy Metal for decades to come. Along with the classic line-up that included Rex Brown and Phil Anselmo, they would influence Metal Music in a way that will never be witnessed again. A one of a kind band, with a one of a kind sound, this is Cowboys From Hell, The story of Pantera.

    10 OCT 2022 CORRECTION: Jerry bought Dime his first guitar before he won the Dean guitar. Some people are saying it was a Les Paul replica but I can't find information on this. And a quick FYI, you can learn to play a guitar before owning one, I'm not sure why that is a shock to some people, especially considering how many guitars Jerry would have had lying around the house and the studio.
    12 OCT 2022 UPDATE: I went back and read the relevant sections of Black Tooth Grin and it says, quote, "Jerry bought Darrell a Les Paul copy and a Pignose amp for his birthday". A Les Paul copy was Dimes first guitar, not the Dean Guitar he won at the age of 14.
    If you spot any other inaccuracies then let me know here!

      He didn’t buy the guitar for Dime, it was one he’d already owned. He’d offered Darrell either a BMX or the old guitar.
      Darrell picked the BMX. After hearing Black Sabbath for the first time he went back to his dad & asked if he could trade the bike for the guitar.
      The whole anecdote is in the liner notes for the Sabbath tribute album Nativity In Black (which Pantera wasn’t on, though their cover of Electric Funeral was on the follow up)

    I recall when Cowboys From Hell came out. It was during the height of thrash metal and this was really something different. Then as the decade progressed and 80s bands grew more obscure, they simply dominated. Pantera single handedly crafted what would inspire an entire sub genre. It's the way Dime grooved those guitar riffs in combination with Vinny's unique double bass and how Phil punched out vocals. All of that would later be emulated by countless bands. But they are the original.

    Pantera had such a strong positive influence in my life. I used to regularly visit this local pub in my hometown Bangalore, India which would blast Pantera tracks in full volume on sound systems that would literally rip our ear drums. It wasn’t just a stupid alcohol fueled rage or venting but every lyrical words that came from the songs of pantera was adopted in my life to fuel my ambition and passion ! When I was benching 100 kilos on my chest, i would be listening to ‘shedding my skin’, when my asshole boss screamed at me ‘ 5 mins alone’ rang in my head, in street fights ‘walk off home boy’ was the first warning given to the other person, cheating girlfriends? ‘This love’ comforted me, when I lost my dad ‘ cemetery gates’ gave me the strength to move on, every small, big successes or happiness ‘cowboys from hell’ made that beer taste even better and amplified my happiness. Even to this day, I get through difficult, normal, happy days by listening to Pantera.
    Thank you Phil, Dimebag, Rex & Vinnie

    As a lifelong Pantera fan I was reluctant to watch this, because this band means so much to me and its history and members can easily get misunderstood and misconstrued (since people like to focus on superficial bullshit and/ or on some kind of 'hidden agendas'). But I'm glad I did, since you approached it in a respectful way and clearly put a lot of effort into the research and the production, so thank you!
    I would, however, recommend you - and everyone else who is interested - to read Rex's Pantera autobiography ("Official Truth, 101 Proof"), if you haven't already. It is a bit controversial in parts. But it does give certain very personal insights that aren't available from reading interviews, in which oftentimes the same questions get answered over and over. Or from watching that cheesy VH1 documentary (which is cool in its own way, but also quite superficial).
    Apart from the fact that Elvis had a "little bit" of help from Little Richard and Chuck Berry in his "revolutionizing of Rock'n'Roll", I find it important to mention that the boys had Metallica over at Dime's mother's place in 1985, when they played in their area. They even jammed together and, according to Rita (Dime's long-time partner), Dime even showed Hetfield a riff that would later come to prominence in one of their songs! It might have been a similarly important experience as their later jams with Kerry King.
    Also, Exhorder from NOLA heavily influenced their sound in the late 80s and early 90s. Of course, Pantera cooked up their own stew and poured in their own ingrediences to come up with that massively aggressive sound that made them so hugely influential.
    I happen to play in a Pantera tribute band and have to say that, after all that happened, I find it extremely difficult seeing the sole Pantera logo advertised for live shows with Phil, Rex, Zakk and Charlie, later this year. I would have loved to see a little more thoughtfulness and care put into the advertising of this 'tribute project' that Phil and Rex obviously feel the need to do - and that I totally get and respect! But it is absolutely no surprise to me how the way this is being approached is dividing the fans and putting a lot of people off. It just seems like: Yeah, Vinnie can't pull his veto anymore, so let's do it. "PanterA - revisited" or something like that (in small letters underneath the logo would have been totally sufficient). The way it is being advertised, it seems disrespectful and misleading (remember: younger kids may not know their past) - or careless at the very least - to me.

      I appreciate all of your feedback. Obviously, I have to try and figure out what I think fits best within the short time frame I have to work with but you've certainly made some very valid points. I actually have 101 Proof and it's a great book but I was trying to stay as neutral as I possibly could here with as much factual information as possible. I fully agree, the way the new Pantera tour has been advertised is just disrespectful in my eyes. If it was specifically labelled as a tribute, which it doesn't seem to be, it would have been fine. We'll have to see what happens!

    It's bitterly ironic,the way it's come to be with me and Pantera....

    Dime was and is my personal hero. I'm a guitarist and he's the best I've ever heard, and so it's pretty obvious why I would hold him on high. But aside from that,he was by all accounts a super laid back,chill,down to Earth kind of guy. It wasn't JUST that insane guitar skill that I admire so much.

    I remember one day driving home from work at 18 years old first time listening to Pantera - Cowboys From Hell on Z-ROCK back in 1990. Never heard of them before but I was blown away by it. Those riffs man were killer. Phil's voice was badass. Definitely why i picked up a guitar back then and still playing today.

    I was all in with Pantera!! Posters lined my bedroom walls! I had EVERY t-shirt I could find, even bought PANTERA BRAND ROLLING PAPERS in 94 & a Pantera lighter! (Type O opened) I was fortunate enough to have watched them live 8 time's! From the skid row tour support, to White Zombie & a bunch more...
    Finally 2 time's at Ozzfest...
    The way DIME was taken is..
    Unspeakable - we love, I love Pantera 4-ever

    I literally used to party with them in the year 1989-1990 in Houston Texas at a club that was called Backstage. They would come every other month and each time they did the crowd got bigger and bigger. I was a regular at the club so I had full access to areas that not everyone had so I was able to hangout in the dressing room upstairs behind the stage. I still remember all the tags on the wall written in black sharpie marker from other previous bands and in that room I would see Diamond Darrell before he was called Dimebag stringing and tuning up his guitar while Rex Rocker and Phil would be talking shit and drinking Budweiser beer with me. What I didn't realize at the time was I was seeing greatness in a genre of music being created right before my very eyes. I was 17 years old at the time and it was an amazing time that I will never forget! I believe there's videos of those performances at that club circulating right here on youtube so if anyone is interested in watching just search Pantera Live at Club Backstage in Houston Texas

    Every time I even see the name Pantera, the opening riff of Walk plays in my head. Not many bands have that sort of immediacy with memory of their music, sure you'll have a split second before thinking of a chorus or riff with most bands but for some reason Pantera instantly conjures that iconic opening drum build and guitar riff from Walk in my mind
    *it's important to remember Vinnie and Dimebag, rest in peace🙏

Reach out to your brothers, tell them you love em and raise a black tooth for dime and vinnie during a spare moment.

    When I can't feed my soul food of attending concerts live, I watch band documentaries. Have seen a ton. With that being said, the quality of your documentaries is fabulous. They are not sprinkled with any media fluff or rumors. Respect....that is a sign of a true rocker! Keep doing what you are doing! I wish I would have seen the Abbott brothers together live. So many of my high school memories are filled with Pantera music in the background. I saw HELLYEAH at Rocklahoma, and it was a privilege to see Vinnie Paul play. The brothers are missed. May their legacy forever live on!

    Pantera has been my favorite band since I first heard Cowboys From Hell in 1991. I remember it being so great that I got chills. I know a lot of Pantera fans would disagree, but Cowboys From Hell is my favorite 💿 CD. You did an excellent job putting this Documentary together. I love nothing more than when I find new things about Pantera. RE-SPECT 👊 R.I.P Brothers Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul Abbott ♥️. I never knew that anyone else in the band ever did anything more then just smoke a little weed and drink like there was no tomorrow. I've always loved Ecstasy. I gotta stick with Vinnie on that one!

    Many bands come n go. A very few select of these bands summon a significant imprint on the "scene ". Pantera in the midst of the grunge movement kept the flag flying for metal. When bands like Metallica were "experimental " pantera layed the foundation of the new wave of metal production and paved the way of the next generation of metal musicians. This band is legendary. Always will be. There were a few bands that hated this success. This was only because pantera got it right while those other bands did not. If you are a metal fan or a musician, you can't deny the power of pantera.

    Even though Vinny was angry to the very end upon his death, had it not been for the genius of Phil Anselmo, neither Vinny nor Dimebag would’ve enjoyed the rising success of their thrash metal band without his help. All four band members Rex, Phil, Dime and Vince made up Pantera. It wasn’t just Dimebag nor Vinny that made Pantera so successful. Phil Anselmo put Pantera on the map. I don’t understand Vinny‘s anger regarding his brothers death years later and directed all at Phil. Bands break up. But blaming Dimebag‘s murder on Phil was uncalled for by Vinny. I don’t care how cool somebody is, you don’t put the murder of dime under anybody else except the man that pulled the trigger. Phil was not the one that pulled that trigger and he was not to blame at all for Dime’s death. I think it was just Vinny‘s way of expressing his loss in a frustratingly way.
