Pantera Cowboys From Hell Composer Reaction and Dissection // The Decomposer Lounge
ALOHA GANG! :) Well, obviously I'm not a guitar amp aficionado so thank you all for setting into play on this video the response to my statement that it was a solid-state and not pure tube driven. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
Would you cover things like video game music... perhaps a metal version of Mega Man 3 by Dr Wily And The Robot Masters??
ua-cam.com/video/W9kFSJoSX74/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Dr.WilyandTheRobotMasters-TopicDr.WilyandTheRobotMasters-Topic
what most of these guys don't know is that there was a tube amp on most of pantera's recordings.
I'm not sure if you want to get into something a little less famous, but a guy called Sam Wesphalen did covers of Metal with only an acoustic guitar played in precision guitar style.
I think this song holds up
Nice even into today great riffs and fast drums! 😎
Hey Geebz, yes it was a solid state amp but was recorded through a tube Neve console.
Pantera's legend guitarist, Dimebag Darrell, met his idol Eddie Van Halen just a few weeks before Dimebag was murdered, and the two bonded so much in that short meeting that at Dimebag's funeral, Eddie buried one his most famous guitars, (the yellow and black one he held on the back of the Van Halen II album) with Dimebag.
The reason for that is that Dime was trying to buy one of Eddie's guitars but he said let's just make a special one together. Eddie asks so just like Red, White and Black strips? "No, Darrell always said that the yellow and black was your toughest guitar.’ So when he was buried Eddie said that "A real one" needed the real one.
Wtf did he really?!
That is an amazing thing to learn!!
Hopefully the two have now had plenty to share with one another....R.I.P. to both of them.
Really?! I didnt know that. That is amazing honestly 😭
wow. thats beautiful
The last thing that Dimebag said to his brother before they were both shot was “Van Halen”. It was a ritual they did before every show.
Next "Domination" by Pantera live in Moscow 🙏
For real pure God tier metal moment
It will give you goosebumps garuenteed
Indeed
This is a must
Yes, this please
GEEBZ! If you're looking for another Pantera song, do Cemetery Gates!
Yes please
hell yes! I was going to make the same suggestion. Totally agree. An oft-forgotten or overlooked side of Pantera. Amazing track.
and then, "Floods"
Yes! Just don't watch the music video cause it cuts the intro
Hollow
Oh please listen to floods by Pantera. The outro is one of the most beautiful guitar riffs ever.
I was just about to make a comment about Floods. Such a killer song that just mentioning it to me give me chicken skin ❤
This!
That outro is amazing.
TRU
@MisterKillMan if you look up FLOODS outro.. There is a vid of the outro looped for a few hours.. Pretty kool
And one of the greatest, emotional solo's that Dime wrote.
Eddie Van Halen was Dime's biggest influence so makes sense he used the flange. Eddie even put one of his guitars in Dime's coffin
The Van Halen 2 guitar.
Yeah Eddie's original bumblebee guitar is with Dime
@Eric Neal Him and Vin were HUGE KISS fans.
@@HKLegend139 They are both in KISS coffins.
coffin or grave?
One of the chunkiest Pantera songs is 5 Minutes Alone.
Also “The Underground in America”
It’s their best IMO
I’m Broken
My favourite track
One of my faves
They were a glam metal band in the 80s. They essentially ignore those albums and call Cowboys From Hell their 'first' album. Which definitely is a pioneering era for groove metal
Cowboys was their first album on a major record label. Their earlier stuff was independently produced and released, so even for legal reasons the big record labels might not be able to release them. I think they just decided they got this new awesome singer with a new style, and it's not worth drudging up that old stuff. You can find the first 4 albums as bootlegs on Ebay. The original producer (their dad lol) is happy to see those still in circulation. He even bought himself copies and commented how great they sound (a remastered issue I believe)
Phil’s first album with them was Power Metal. There are still some hints of the 80’s Metal style on Cowboys from Hell.
@@Angusmetalrules one of my favourites is 'Shattered'. Fun riff to play as well
do you not watch the vid? he litteraly said he knew who they were
Dude, do Mouth For War, I'm Broken, Becoming, 25 Years, Shedding Skin, Regular People, or...just do all the Pantera.
Respect that you give "Regular People" some love dude! That IMO is probably Pantera's most underrated song. I LOVE the groove on that track! Definitely one of my favorite Pantera tunes, actually!
@@fatshady5714 same, man. Totally underrated.
@@jessaw8160 🤘💀🤘
I agree.... ALL OF PANTERA! HA
@@fatshady5714 But regular people wouldn't have sounded good live because of double tracking. Pantera's two best albums which capture the live sound are FBD and RIS.
Floods is my personal favorite Pantera track, I could listen to that outro alone for hours
Ironically that tube sizzle comes from a scooped solid state amp
Was going to comment this. Geebz, dimebag put Randall amps on the map which are solid state amps, no tubes. Also well known for scooping his mids in the vain of metallica and other thrash bands
Incredible isnt it, because you can get that sound from a 5150 and Dime did it with a Randall solid state.
This album was solid state and some after, though if my memory serves me correctly it was tube on Great Southern Trendkill, and beyond. I believe Randall made it special for him.
Vinnie and Dime were two of a kind. Would love to hear you cover some more Pantera!!
They had a unique and tight chemistry
Can't leave out Rex and Phil. We all remember how Damageplan turned out...
@@TheBleedout hahaha most certainly. Rex was a monster on the bass and Phil was, well, Phil.
@@thatoneguy229OG Phil is one of the best metal singers and frontmen of all time!
This album is a favorite of mine. It was released in 1990 and paved the way for many bands. RIP Dime and Vinnie.
To see a completely different face of the Pantera sound (but still undeniably Dimebag), listen to "Floods" off of their heaviest record "The Great Southern Trendkill".
"Hollow" is another great example
I feel Cemetery Gates- Pantera is needed
Actually, Dime used solid state amps, no tubes. He really sculpted his sound with them, used an MXR graphic EQ in front.
@@HenritheHorse Before that it was mostly solid state Randalls
@@douglasdog1 Yep, love the sound! I myself combine solid state and tube amps for my sound.
Yeah he just started to use tube amps with Damageplan. I think Krank amps just fell off after Dimebag.
Yeah but that solid state amp was recorded through a tube Neve console.
@@RBRGreenie I doubt those newer Neve consoles had any tubes, all transistor based. Tube Neves are very rare and old.
Great band...especially live!....I will never forget "Domination" being played live in Moscow....
If you want some heavy riffs I'M BROKEN, WALK or 5 MINUTES ALONE are a must.
I'm Broken gives me permanent stank face
@@Hoosier3091 yes luv it!
I've got a request to add Slaughtered to your list. I find it paroxysmal in its agression and brute force.
Suicide note part 2, and the Great southern trendkill are pretty heavy too.....I actually think thier "heaviest" tunes are on The Great Southern Trendkill. I love that album
@@fabianbello8128 yes always good although lesser known 🤘
"Party, Surfing, Chicks, Alright!" NEEDS to be a T-Shirt!
Fun Fact about Dime's Guitar tone: For most of his career it was all solid state amps and power amps. I think it's the same in studio they hardly ever used tube amps. It wasn't until after PanterA with Krank amps that is when Dime had tube style amps.
Drag the waters is another sick pantera tune I’d like to see you react to
Pantera and Alice in chains were the bridges from the 80's to the 90's.
Two of my favorites.
Amen! The ONLY band from the grunge shit that deserves respect is AIC! Finally someone who feels what I've been saying! Blessings to you and yours brother!🤘🔥🤘💯🙏☯️
Getcha' Pull brother...
Ah yes! One of the many reasons I'm proud to be from TEXAS! thank you for what you do geebz!
I saw a band that was heavily influenced by Pantera, also from TX called Pissing Razors. I even bought their "Where We Come From" album at the show.
@SocialAudio Agreed, Texas hospitality here! I have loved Pantera from the very beginning to sadly the end. I love you Dimebag Darrell; one of my top ten favorite guitarists. Kudos for all the great music. I know you have been resting peacefully. 💜 Thank you Geebz for breaking this song down. I Love your comment "The real metal of the '80s" 💯
Floods - Pantera... you’ll be glad you did.
I think that song would blow his mind
Agreed. But there's many others throughout Pantera's catalog
Your comment about the drums is spot on. So happy to hear someone say it! I LOVE Dime like everyone does but people don't often comment how Vin's drums made Dime's riffs even better. They were a machine for real. Knew each other like only brothers could and never would sound the same without each other.
I'd like to hear some DOWN. Great band heavy southern blues metal
"Stone the Crow" or "Ghosts Along the Mississippi". 👍
I'd love to hear some landing on the mountains of meggido
Bury Me in Smoke. If theres a heavier song, I havent heard it.
@SofaKingCool but we would have had more Pantera
Please do CLUTCH: "Electric worry."
Amazing band, so underappreciated!
And Spacegrass 🙏
And 10001110101
Dragonfly, Mr shiny cadillackness, what would a wookie do?, Wishbone... on and on :D
@@robhughes4682 he’ll probably do it “whenever it feels right” ;)
Phil, the vocalist, has been in a few "supergroups", one of which is called Down. Highly recommended. A superb southern sludge band.
You should check out Floods by Pantera. One of the greatest guitar solos of all time.
Dime did a lot with solid state amps as part of his sound, its why his harmonic screams were so sustainy. And yes it was on 11.
Rex held the low end down while dime had the freedom to do what he did
Damn you're opening a big bag of hammers here Geebz. I've always thought psycho holiday, revolution is my name and the sleep were super underrated pantera songs.
That intro takes me back to being a kid, riding around with my uncle and cousins. It’s too perfect! My uncle passed a couple years ago, it’s cool being randomly taken back to that feeling.
Dimebag’s high end sizzle came from a lack of tubes. He was using solid state Randall Amp heads, so that’s purely tone from transistors and whatever distortion pedal Dime was using. Dime liked solid state amps because everyone else was playing fickle tube amps and he liked reliability on the road because he didn’t have to worry about getting his shit stolen or blowing up and losing his signature sound because tubes died. He also said that he felt like tubes had a slower response and his solid state amps were much faster to respond and that’s how he was able to play so fast with so much distortion without having it sound like garbled mess. Solid state amps were also way louder back the day.
Good old Pantera. Never disappoints! Since you touched upon the influence they had on metal in general it might be fun to give a listen to something like "Entombed - Left Hand Path". Released the same year, totally different direction, but also very influential.
LOVE that album
Shit! That was the same year. Never thought about that. I was listening to Entombed then. Took me a few more years to not be as prejudiced against more "heavy metal" stuff like this.
Yes! All around amazing musicians 😍 love your channel!
You are such a fun fella. Keep making us smile!
Brother, still lovin what ya bring to this stuff. Keep on keepin on young fella and look forward to more from ya!!!🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Yes!! Great breakdown. So powerful
You have one of the coolest ways of breaking down a song. From a place of emotion and feel. Thank you sir.
please do phil's band down---- "temptations wings" or "stone the crow"
omg, cant wait to watch this!
If you are doing Pantera again i would recommend the song "Cemetery Gates", it is BEAUTIFUL!
I LOVE this!! Seeing you jamming right along to Pantera made my day. Absolutely one of my favorite bands, ever. And did I hear a "Beavis and Butt-Head" reference in there, too? 😂🤣😂. "Heh heh heh, FIRE FIRE FIRE"!!
Please do Power Trip - Executioner's Tax! It's has some crazy riffing just like Pantera.
My favorite Pantera song is "Shedding Skin" if you get the chance, even if its not a review. Continue the great work!
That's my second favorite song from, hard lines sunken...is my favorite, that solo in that song is magnificent
Such an underrated song. One of my favorite songs to play on guitar, such an awesome riff
Shedding Skin very underrated. Amazing song
That song made me appreciate his rock voice more, even as he was getting heavier and heavier. And the time changes were just so well done...
I love your reactions to great music btw.
Please keep doing pantera brother 🤘🏾💜
Yay Pantera!! Thanks man!
Geebz, I wanted to say that you're an awesome guy and i come here for your awesome commentary and lessons here and there, but some of your statements ring so true to me. When you said "i'm afflicted" I totally understand what you mean and it resonates with me as i feel like that too. You're a very wise man and i appreciate the things that i learn from you. Thanks.
DOMINATION live in MOSCOU! 👌❤
Great reaction as always! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking the time to use your immense knowledge of music theory, arrangements and other technically based tools that I am clueless about/as many listening are! Many of the bands, like Pantera &Tool were Staples of my youth (high school days) that I loved the sound of and amazed by the abilities but clueless as to what it took to make the sound so unique and/or beautiful! You, sir, have helped me to appreciate music I love on an entirely different level! Much love!
All these months watching your videos and I only just realized today that you have what I assume if a ukelele on your board during the intro lol. That's awesome
I love your breakdowns this was amazing PLEASE do cemetery gates I love seeing reactions to phils vocals
Another great video Geebz, surprised it took this long for you to get to Pantera!
Would love to see an Every Time I Die reaction. Map Change, Moor, Decayin’ with the Boys, Fear and Trembling. All good songs
Domination - live from monsters of rock Moscow. Best metal performance of all time imo.
Agreed!
Pantera, yes mate. Great choice and many many many amazing songs. You'll have a lot of happy viewers if you do more on this legendary band!
I hope this is the start of a long line of Pantera reaction/dissections! You have to do Floods by Pantera for me, one of the greatest guitar solos of all time. Love the videos man please keep them coming!
Medicine man is another badass track, could make a nice reaction
I haven’t even see the video yet and it’s already a great decomposing
This was the first album on which they changed their sound significantly. After this one came "Vulgar Display of Power", and on this one, every single song is a must. You could check out "Mouth for War", "Walk" or "This Love" to get a sense of it.
When I got a CD player for Christmas they gave me Cowboys From Hell.
I was a bit put off at first because I had only heard later songs at the time, but the album's still great.
The first song by Pantera I heard was mouth for war. Another important part in my life.
I love that you notice the southern rock influence, and I find it interesting that you brought up Eddie about the flanger, cause a lot of people regard pantera as the second van Halen, very much because of the groove that you only get from 2 brothers growing up playing guitar and drums together. Keep it up man! Much love from wisconsin!
Classic. ....follow up with a later work. i recommend, "Floods". that songs outro can (and has) be looped for hours and never get cha less in the feels. RIP Dime...
i was lucky enough to get to see these guys live in concert more than once. they were truly something special. when i was a teenager surfing cocoa beach Pantera was often the soundtrack in my head while i was paddling out. here it is all these years later and Pantera is still a big part of my playlist.
100% agree with your comments at the end about the importance of dynamics and contrast in a song. Pantera were masters of changing up their songs and bringing in different flavours. It's one of the things that keeps me listening to them on a regular basis 27 years after being introduced to them, where other bands I like dont get as much air time because my ears get tired of the sameness across the portfolio.
I'm still here! Good one Geebz, ty.
161 thousand subscribers in 7 months- great job, keep up the good work

Phil: *Death eagle scream*
Geebz: Man, my throat is dry. *sip* 😂
This song... and actually the entire album, was on repeat often for most of my teenage years through my early twenties. This album helped me through some of the toughest times in my life. It was all about the sound... every bit of it, and the feelings it produced deep down in my soul. If I was having a bad day, I could turn this on and crank it up and just get lost in the music. RIP Dime and Vinnie!
Best notification I had on youtube today!
Hey, man! Love your breakdowns of some of my favorite tracks and will buy you a cup soon! Not meant to roast, but more to inform. So, Dime only used tube amps towards the later end of his journey with Pantera and Damageplan in finding the company Krank. Not sure if the Warhead from Randall has tubes, but everything in the formative years of Pantera was done on solid-state, believe it or not. It's just the combination of tools delivering such a serious tone. Much love and thanks for your sharing as well as the opportunity to share. Rock on!
This tour was amazing glad I got to see dime b4 he passed.
More pantera please. Their sound and production varies a decent amount from album to album. So definitely interested to hear your feelings on more tracks.
Dimebag’s CFH tone consisted of a L500xl pickup, MXR 6 band eq, furman parametric eq, noise gate, into a solid state Randall RG100es at max gain, and in the loop was the MXR flanger doubler with Jaguar speakers in the speaker cabinet.
Domination live in Moscow is a definite must see. R.I.P. Darrel and Vinnie sadly missed, never forgotten 😔✌🤟🤙☕🤘😎🤘
Yo Brother Geebz... you just blasted me back to high school riding in the back of my buddies Camaro blasting this on some curvy WV roads on a Saturday night...thanks brother...❤️✌️🍗
ive been waiting ages for this
“I’m broken” and “Fucking hostile” were always favorites of mine
Pantera were the epitomy of groove metal and heavy AF! The video of this tune live in Moscow might be my most-watched UA-cam clip ever, Dimebag was a god-like shredding riff monster (RIP) while Vulgar Display still blows my mind and sounds as fresh as ever nearly 30 years later. Thanks for an nteresting analysis as always.
Nice to see Pantera get some love in 2021
Oh boy, awesome to see some groove metal.
Pantera- Cemetary Gates is a must
Yes!! More Pantera!!!
Please do more Pantera! Give them the same rabbit hole you gave tool 🤘
"Tube sizzle amp sound"
I'm still learning new terms on this channel !
Miss 80's metal too
Cemetery gates is probably my fav song by pantera that or becoming. I loved this band so much, i still miss them. Rip vinnie and Daryll
At this stage and for most of Pantera's run, Dime was running solid state amps (Randall RG100ES) and a Furman PQ-3 rack eq. The EQs changed over the years but the RG100 & PQ-3 was the original classic combination. Also downtuned a half-step and then some (landing somewhere between Eb and D). He later went to Randall Warheads and then Krank (tube) amps. His razor-sharp tones are so beautiful.
Spot on with your analysis brother!!!!
other pantera songs to check out:
- domination, cemetery gates (cowboys from hell)
- walk, a new level, mouth for war (vulgar display of power)
- slaughtered, i'm broken (far beyond driven)
- sandblasted skin, floods (great southern trendkill)
- revolution is my name (reinventing the steel)
You explain yourself so well all the time.
You mentioned the pounding 4/4 on the drums and it immediately reminded me of "Slaughter of the Soul" by At The Gates and how that track has a great straight 4 drums set over these blistering triplets. If you like 90s metal, definitely give this one a listen!
God bless them brothers. I was lucky enough to see them 6 times. They are an amazing band
Would like to see you do Throwing Mountains by Kansas at some point. Really enjoying these vids lately. :)
I will never forget the last time I seen Pantera, standing right in front of Dime was something to behold! RIP
Awesome! R.I.P. Dimebag and Vinnie
I love that the entire song is just noodling up and down the Em blues scale. Simple but effective.
Right?! It’s hard to play in the right ‘groove’ though. I’ve never heard anyone else, except maybe Ola, play it ‘right’.
@@PetParadiseVB I can play it closely at slower speeds. It's easier for my left hand to play it at the nut in a box but right hand and left hand together is easier staying on the low E string and moving up and down the neck, except that turns super sloppy when I do it.
That makes sense. There is a lot of Dimebags work that I’ve always thought would sound extremely bluesy if the amps weren’t cranked up.
Great job great channel
RAW!!! Perfect word for their fucking unbelievable sound 🤘
Rex Brown on the bass,, all hail Rex!!!
"you hear rex's bass? answer me! YOU HEAR THE FUCKING BASS?!?"
@@hoopsmccann639 Say that again, didnt catch that, because that bass IS SO FUCKIN BOOOOM
@@hoopsmccann639 It’s not that hard. Listen carefully and you’ll hear it. In fact in all songs you can hear the bass, however it is usually felt more than heard. The bass makes the music sound full. Take out the bass and the composition sounds a lot different. It also depends how you’re listening to the music (what kind of headphones, etc do you use). I can hear bass in nearly every song, but that’s because I have ears ‘trained’ to do so, and I use good headphones. Hearing bass in any recording is not in fact too difficult. Sometimes it is just hard because the bass is turned down slightly. Hearing bass requires ear training and strictly paying attention to it. Bass can also have different types of sounds in the mix. Sometimes it is as we all associate bass with, and sometimes it is a sort of a clicking sound.
@@adamlytek i guess you never heard the live album? that's what phil says to the crowd as rex is playing the bass part for the domination breakdown.
Cemetery gates is a track you should check out. As far as Dimes gear goes, I read in a guitar mag many years ago that when he was a teen he used to enter guitar contests in the Dallas area where he was from. He won almost all of them and ended up with a solid state Randall stack and a Dean ML guitar. Those pieces of gear ended up being his primary setup for most of his Pantera recording/live career
Domination live! Trust me, it’s amazing
My partner thinks it's fkn adorable that I'm so invested in a UA-camr, they watch a ton of creators. Can't help it, you're metal journey is nearly identical to mine and it's kinda making me want to get back into learning to play.
Great song choice! If you go old school go Sepultura! Aloha🤙🏻
