When Dime died, Eddie Van Halen gave him his signature yellow evh guitar called “bumble bee” to be buried with. Dime always said that was his favourite guitar of Eddie’s, who was also his favourite guitarist. Eddie said “an original should have an original.” What a great guy. Shred In Peace to them both! Amazing guitarists and people.
I remember that. Damn I went to the Headbangers Ball Tour in 2004, like 6 months before Dime got murdered by that POS! 😡🤬😭 The tour was Unearth, Hatebreed, and Damage Plan was headlining. I remember getting to meet the lead singer of Unearth and getting his autograph. I thought that was the best part of the night. Nope! After Hatebreed’s set, I was super exhausted from the mosh pit/circle pit, so I went upstairs to sit down. I end up sitting next to Vinnie Paul’s girlfriend and maybe his daughter or her daughter. Then during the Damage Plan set legendary guitarist Zakk Wylde from Black Label came out and jammed with Dimebag Darrell for like 20 minutes! If I knew that was the last time I’d see Dime live!
@@RepublicFREEman nope, that's because unlike and despite people like you, they are open minded and don't see music as a competition, even Phil Anselmo commented on Walk's reaction in the Lost in Vegas channel, go check it out what your hero said and have fun.
@@lfmontag You do realize heavy metal music is created from literally multitude of all genre of music going back from not only the1950's but to the 1500's. Jazz, blues. classical, etc. Hip hop and Rap artists, just go back to like bad street music from the 1980's. Heavy Metal music is literally the most culturally diverse well rounded genre ever which has the most amount widespread multi cultural influence. Heavy metal has now spread to literally more countries in the world than rap music has.
@@RepublicFREEman yeah I know, and then came the heavy metal fan, the most close-minded person to ever exist, who always need to say something bad to others just to feel better with themselves. say bad things about other genres doesn't make your favourite genre good or better, what a stupid way of life. I listen to Heavy Metal since I was seven (1984!) and Hip Hop since I was eleven (1988!) and guess what, there is no Pantera without Hip Hop, you just forgot (or ignored) how Hip Hop influenced Pantera in their transition from glam do GROOVE, how ironic hum??? Even the lyrics of Pantera came from "bad street music from the 1980's" and just to correct you a little more, internet teacher, Hip Hop came from cotton songs just like Blues and Jazz and Rock and Roll, all kinds of BLACK MUSIC which pavemented the world we are listening. music is not competition, heavy metal react videos are supposed to be FUN just because THEY ARE OPEN-MINDED TO TRY SOMETHING NEW. and this is what your hero Phil Anselmo said about Lost in Vegas channel, which you were lazy to search because you are so full of yourself: "I adore the fact you cats have an open minded opinion on music, because we ALL should! It's fucking healthy! I love all kinds of music, from almost every era, time, date and beyond."
Phil's vocals are insane on this entire album. From the aggressive metal vocals, to beautiful cleans, to Halford-style highs. Cowboys From Hell is such a landmark album.
@@capoditutticapos19 "Abandoned", more like maimed himself to the point where he couldn't do it anymore lol. Too much screaming, jumping, coke, and drinking does that, I guess.
Cowboys and Vulgar are some of my favorite albums of all time and I like all genres of music besides country music. I love hip hop,classic rock, reggae,metal but those two albums are legendary. Far beyond driven is also a great album. I’ve seen Pantera a few times in the 90’s and they always brought it
@@tomking7080 I bet you could like country, too. Just gotta dig past the pop country garbage. Good country music shares a lot of aspects that I love about heavy metal. As a country suggestion, check out Ballad For Beelzebub by Graveyard Train. That song is so metal, the drummer is literally playing an iron chain with a hammer.
@@atonesb5251 Don’t get me wrong, I like old country songs like Dolly and Kenny Rogers. I just have never bought any country music. I respect their talents but it’s just not something I would choose to listen to
Phil does have a phenomenon of a vocal singer. Even though dime and vinnie are no longer with us , I feel that the very least I could do was buy a ticket for what's left of the original members for the respect for this legendary band that once was , the Australian tour in march in Adelaide in south Australia. I was only 15 when I fell in love with pantera but its one band that I never have seen. I've seen Metallica once, Megadeth one Anthrax once & my favourite slayer 3 times. The big 4 Unfortunately I had never seen hanneman play live because the times I watch them all live , hanneman started to become sick and couldn't go on. It was quite the experience however, seeing Lombardo live the 1st 2 times and final world tour with Bosto drumming with garry holt ... don't get me wrong but hanneman made holt look like a choir boy when he took over from Jeff.
It's so damn cool how many vocalists I've heard say the same, especially after hearing Cemetery Gates. Just recently Lolli (TheFairyVoiceMother) made the same observation in her react too
That “horse whinnie” is called a Dime Squeal. Now he didn’t create the technique, but he did take it to another level. He mastered the guitar sounds and cultivated into a style of his own.
Pantera is one of the most important bands in the history of Metal music, especially in the ‘90’s. Because at that time people were declaring metal as being dead because of the explosion of Grunge rock.
Pantera was like a literal "fuck you" to every genre of music because it wasn't really a well defined genre by the 90's. Panteraa was just heavy as fuck and that's all there was to it.
“This Love” is another Ballad type of song and “Hollow” both similar to cemetery gates. If you want a punch in the face then “fucking Hostile”. Track “flood” has great guitar work. My opinion cemetery gates and flood solo are two of his best.
I was fortunate enough to see them 4 times between 94 and 99. My first concert ever actually with Prong and Sepultura supporting. I threw a fat joint to Phil and he lit it up and passed it back to me. RIP DIME AND VINNIE!!! LONG LIVE PHIL AND REX!!!
@@johnnywinford7789I was on the rail and a crowd surfer landed on the back of my head and pushed it down so far I couldn't breathe for what seemed like forever. My neck was fucked for a month. No regrets!
I saw them many times as well. My favorite was at Red Rocks with Machine Head and Coal Chamber. I love Prong and Sepultura as well but nothing tops Pantera.
I highly recommend "Cowboys From Hell". It has has one of the most epic intros in metal history in my opinion plus extremely catchy riffs. Also one of my favorites "Drag The Waters".
I believe you are absolutely correct about that! It's the GOAT! Mr. Crowley (Ozzy Osbourne) is the only song in my opinion that even comes close to being as great. Both are truly masterpieces.
Love Phill, Love Vinnie, Love Dimebag... And love REX shoutout to Rex his bass lines cary the rhythm when Dime is doing his solos... My favorite solo guitar is in the song "The Sleep".
30 years later... And I just watched this with headphones... STILL got that 'feeling' right from the first chord... Such a beautiful song.. These guys really knew what they were doing and will always be my #1 band. Pantera is like a drug for me and that will never change..
I’m 36 and got into Pantera before they broke up but after they played what would be their last live show. This song nearly every time gives me goosebumps. It is firmly one of my favourites in music in general.
Dime and Vin were there from the beginning, but Phil coming in is when they became the Pantera we all love. Local band turned worldwide after Phil so give the man his props
Honestly Pantera has a near perfect discography. The entire thing is enjoyable. It’s a shame the band getting back together isn’t a possibility. I saw Phil live a couple years back and it was a trip. Also your content is great btw. I recommend rivers of nihil.
@@nexspectovos In other words, the ones with Phil Anselmo on vocals. I feel the same way. I never got into the ones with Terry Glaze. The music style didn't do it for me.
I think Power Metal is a great album, you can start to hear them transition into the heavier sound, and you can really hear Phils range. I also like to mention this album as much as I can as it drives the hardcore fans crazy!
@@allisterfiend_2112 I (used to) have a friend who is a Pantera fan. Not as much of a fan as I am, seeing as he didn't like Power Metal. He doesn't like high singing, i.e. Priest, Maiden, etc., so he also wasn't a fan of parts of Cowboys from Hell. I mean, I love Far Beyond Driven and The Great Southern Trendkill styles too, but it's all good to me.
Dimebag Darrell was a guitar God. You should check out some of his on stage guitar solos. He'll blow your mind and leave your jaw dropped to the floor.
That vilbrato/operatic singing you hear from Phil is a carry over from Pantera's "glam rock" days. Yes, that right, Pantera started off as a glam rock group
The greatest gift from Pantera is that from the first listen of these iconic songs to the three thousandth your reaction doesn't waver. Goosebumps every time. The songs are perfect as was the band.
I was asked the other day what is the best song for a beginner to listen to when trying to listen to Heavy Metal and this is always the song I pick! Great choice! Keep up the awesome work!
This is objectively one of the greatest solos of all time. Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains was a good friend of Dimebag, and always noted that while there are many guitarists that can play heavy music, few had the soul and grove that Dimebag brought to it, and coming from Cantrell, one of the greatest Riff lords of all time, that statement has weight. Dimebag is seriously unique amongst all metal guitarists.
What's crazy is he has plenty more solos just as good/even better than this one. The sleep, floods, we'll meet again and hard lines sunken cheeks just to name a few.
@@lumpy9964 He was one of the great for sure. I think I rate this solo up there, even though he has many great solos, because it's reached that kind of iconic status that few solos ever reach.
Yes! The official video is a travesty of justice! Leaves out the entire foundation of the song. Most that react to it don’t know there’s a part they’re missing that would blow them away.
Floods…the absolute best guitar work on any Pantera song. Parts of it are from a solo that Dime would do back in the club days. Love that you’ve discovered them. As far as other songs…Shattered, Fucking Hostile, Hollow (Very cemetery gates vibe), actually you can’t go wrong with ANY Pantera song. Please check out Sepultura (original lineup) and Machine Head.
There's footage of Dime on the Dimevision DVD when he was 18 years old playing an early version on the Floods solo. He worked on that solo most of his life perfecting it. The man was a true artist.
The solo from Floods still sends chills down my spine. That is a perfect example of how powerful music can be, the true embodiment of feeling and emotion through music.
I’ve been in love with this band for like thirty years but it was awesome seeing you get to the very end just to realize Rex (bass) has just been kicking your ass the whole way thru without “standing out”
This is one of my favorite Pantera tracks. The ending is so epic! I love that you put your heart rate on the screen. While you are on a Pantera kick, I recommend The Great Southern Trendkill! It’s another heavy and epic one. ☺️😉😊👍🏽🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥☀️☀️☀️
Thank you so much for getting the whole intro and video! Much love to you and your channel. I was engaged and she passed away last October. This song means alot to me to say the least. RIP Harley
Pantera was the bomb in the early 90's! They were the best thrash band of the early 90's and pretty much invented groove metal with Vulgar Display of Power. Such a great band! And Dimebag Darrel was unrivaled in his guitar playing!
Exactly... Sometimes people ask me why i love this "old" band, it's not bad but there are better bands... And so on and so on. WELL: These people are in their 20s and i guess you can only fully understand what Pantera was when you lived in the 90s. There simply was no Slipknot or Five finger death punch or or or. I never forget the moment i heard "Mouth for war" as i thought Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeth were the hardest and best bands in the world. Holy crap, Pantera blew all of the straight away and defined the sound of the next decade to come. And if you saw them livein the 90s (thank god i had the chance 2 times) they were a unbelievable tight powerhorse on stage. Never heard such greatness again. That were 2 once in a livetime experiences never to be forgotten.
Man when I was coming up we had such good music back then! I remember buying this album when it was new in like '89 or '90 I think. Pantera rules, they crushed then and they crush now. They go HAM on the riff game Dimebag was second to none!
the deeper you get into their songs you'll see how Dimes notes and feeling he gave, made each track literal magic, listen to "10's" and "Floods" and tell me it doesn't make you tear up
@ 5:36 "I feel like one of the GREATEST....guitarists of all time" Yes. He was. In my simple and humble opinion, he is the LAST true "guitar god" None since.... He belongs in the same room with Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Tommy Iommi, Randy Rhoades...and Eddie VAN HALEN. Dimebag was "arguably" the best Metal Guitarist of all time. I saw him live many times, he gave goosebumps to THOUSANDS of people every time he played.
I JUST found your channel this morning, and what a PERFECT video to grab my attention....This band was EVERYTHING to me after I found them, and opened me up to so many more great bands in the process and aftermath of discovering them... That being said, you should consider a song from Vulgar Display of Power, that is unique on the entirety of the album, and I suspect it is a FAR UNDERRATED /APPRECIATED MASTERPIECE as a specific showcase of their talents. To me lyrically, it is one of Pantera's most significant and powerful songs. Its an emotional roller coaster....and you can feel every bit of the pain and sadness behind this song when it was written. PLEASE STRONGLY consider doing a reaction video to "Hollow".. I CANNOT recommend this song/video enough... With LOVE. RIP to the Abbott Brothers...
I'm glad that you did the full version of this song. A lot of UA-camrs don't do the mellow part of the video. I got a quote tattoo dedicated to the Abbott brothers on my right shoulder that says "They Came To Rock and Rocked Like No Other." I know that they are up in heaven and jamming out. R.I.P the Abbott Brothers
I'm new to Aileen's content, but as I go through her Pantera collection, I have to say this is one of the few reaction channels that I actually don't mind the pauses. She has a way of articulating emotion into words that I've rarely seen amongst the genre. She really does get it. RIP DB-VP 👊🤘
The Sleep is probably my absolute favorite Dime solo!!!!!!!! Gotta experience some of their more hardcore stuff too! War Nerve, Slaughtered, Suicide Note 1&2 are a must!!
Wow! The singer is so on point. Every single note happens just exactly when it has to happen. Simply wow. Great performance, also very good work from the rest of the band. Love the song! Me too, Aileen. I was just totally in the song as you said you were. Couldn't think of anything else, and just enjoyed the song.
If you want to hear Phil's Rob Halford "inspired" singing voice. Just listen to his 1st album with Pantera, Power Metal. A very underrated, forgotten and important 1st step towards the Pantera we all know and love.
@@franciscoborjaescobarsuare5802 yeah, that's always been their hardest song for me. Very hard to even passably get through without sounding weak AF by the end sounding more like like The Darkness, lol.
@@sheloflores290 man that solo is so fucking good. I'm not really a fan of the style of the rest of the song but that solo is one of Dime's best for sure
When you get a chance, you should check out Dimebag Darrell's solo called "still got the blues". It's a really awesome solo that Dime perfected over his career as a professional musician. Dime wasn't only a guitar genius, he was a fun cool guy that would literally stop his tour bus and pickup fans to party with and hang out. He was so cool that he would grill steaks and hang out with his fans, that's the Dimebag Darrell I knew. I was lucky enough to hang out backstage with Dime once. And he stayed there until 5:00 in the morning just to make sure he talked to everyone who waited for hours just to talk to. Rest in peace Dime and Vinny, the world of metal has never been the same without them both!
Probably the most well spoken, thoughtful, intuitive reaction to one of two of my favorite bands anyone has done. Thank you for your kind words regarding the Abbott brothers. I hope your channel thrives and people respect your level of respect you put out
Classic song and Pantera was a gift. I hope you get to react to Krisgalder by Heilung. The live version at Castle Fest is the best way to experience the song as the band sounds completely different live than on their album.
The intro is one of the best parts, it sets up the whole song. That's one thing the official video misses. And also this is literally one of my favorite guitar solos of all time
I love Dime but Phil gets overlooked when we talk about Panteras success. He's probably the best lead vocalist for a metal band in history. Don't @ me with Hetfield as well :)
This was the first Pantera song I ever heard. It's been so long I forgot this song was on the Tales From The Crypt Presents: Demon Knight Soundtrack. Also one of my all time favorite horror movies ever, but when it came out this song was on the hard rock/metal radio stations as basically the official theme song for the movie. I saw them a few short years later with Type O Negative at my first ever Metal show. I was 15! I looked older than I was and my Uncle got me in. Seeing Pantera was like a religious experience followed by about 25 years worth of Metal shows after seeing these guys.
For a great Dime solo you need to listen to " The sleep " and his best one is on Power Metal and that is before Cowboys from hell and the first Album with Phil Anselmo as their singer...the number on that is "We'll meet again" ....check it out.
I love how you pointed out Rex’s bass because most reaction channels don’t even do that and he’s such an underrated bass player one of my most favourite bass players of all time
You’re so beautiful I’m so many ways!!! Never seen a woman love metal like you. And you’re funny, and gorgeous at the same time. You’ll make someone happy if you already aren’t.
Dime wrote that solo in about 20 minutes and did it in one take for the recording. More than a man, less than a God. And he and Vinnie were really great guys to just hang out with.
Your music opinions are great. I'd just stick to music and stay away from making comments in streams like Disgusting red states. Other than that good reaction.
Glad you took the time to make sure you listened to the proper version. It definitely changes the whole dynamic of the song. Great reaction. If you want heavier from them, "Primal toxic concrete sledge" hits hard. Also "A new level" or a hidden gem with my favorite riff possibly ever; "Slaughtered"..."The art of shredding" is killer too. Basically their whole discography is incredible, but these are off the top of my head...oh, and a classic favorite, "Cowboys from hell" very iconic riff.
I saw Pantera live around Thanksgiving in 97 while I was in The US Army. Excellent show. A good friend of mine worked at The Clubhouse. It was a Gentlemen's Club in Dallas that Pantera would hang at, she was working the night Dime was murdered. She said it was surreal when the news hit. Everybody was crying and just absolutely devastated. Yeah, Pantera is a band that will always hold a near and dear place in my heart. Thanks for the reaction. New subscriber.
I was lucky enough to see Pantera live back in the late 90s Phil Anselmo has by far the best voice of all the greats in metal. when i was a metal band vocalist his was the 1 voice i wished i had the ability to reproduce. such class across the board and not just his voice but the entire band's skills and talents are almost unrivaled.
Bravo for picking the full version. Too many reactors miss the intro.
I know, right?
I had a feeling if anyone was gonna get it right, it would be her
@@jerseycarp ❤️❤️
So glad I did this one instead. I feel like that intro is way too beautiful to miss.

Technically a pinch harmonic fwiw :D
I stand corrected see below comments!
But, I'm sure Dime was all about some Billy Gibbons... 😎
Yeah, he did reinvent the steel...!
Not once have I ever heard it called a dime squeal rofl you are just making shit up. It is just an extended pinch harmonic using the floyd rose.

So many fans don’t even know those albums exist, bravo to you guys… ya old fucks haha btw I know them as well so don’t feel bad
Dimebag Darrell was a guitar God. You should check out some of his on stage guitar solos. He'll blow your mind and leave your jaw dropped to the floor.
Phil's voice always amazes me. Especially after you hear his speaking voice, which sounds like a heavy dump truck going down a coarse gravel road.
Which makes it even funnier to remember Pantera used to be a hair metal band
Haha, not wrong!
I’ve listen to this song for decades and this song still gives me goosebumps
That vilbrato/operatic singing you hear from Phil is a carry over from Pantera's "glam rock" days. Yes, that right, Pantera started off as a glam rock group
It's surprising how many people that have been long time fans of Pantera don't even know this.
Before he became the Dimebag Darrell we all knew and loved he began as Diamond Darrell
Absolutely, and my understanding of that, is that it is useful to follow the trend for a decade before generating the trend during the next decade.
The greatest gift from Pantera is that from the first listen of these iconic songs to the three thousandth your reaction doesn't waver. Goosebumps every time. The songs are perfect as was the band.
Can't overlook Rex. His bass sounds great in this song. Also a great secondary vocalist.
"The Sleep". You have GOT to listen to "The Sleep". I can't for the life of me understand why that song doesn't get more love
Definitely my favorite song from Pantera,it has a little bit of everything that makes a great song.
Song will forever be a true masterpiece. Rip Abbott Brothers D&V -TRUE LEGENDS NEVER DIE
Pantera ...kept metal alive through the 90's
bingo
Sounds like you weren't alive in the 90's.
Alongside Megadeth And Sepultura
Pantera is one of the hardest and most unique bands ever. One of my top 5 of all time easily. So many badass songs.
"This Love" needs to be in the line up, the ultimate response to the record label asking for a "ballad" or "love song"
My absolute favorite Pantera song, it truly shows the full range of musical abilities that the band can cover!
Senpai: I love how the guitar backs up the vocals. It's like there are two vocalists...
Me: Just wait until the end...
Literally cried watching this. Use to love seeing this reaction on people's faces when I showed non metal heads this song. Pure beautiful. Thank you
I was asked the other day what is the best song for a beginner to listen to when trying to listen to Heavy Metal and this is always the song I pick! Great choice! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you so much! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
nay.........................................
Probably not my first call but definitely in the top 5.
(please note, I've been a metalhead since 1975 so my goto list is quite long)
One of my favorite reactors commenting on another of my favorite reactors reactions! Is this like a Reactception?
12:50 "The Bass" As dime hits the most iconic squeal known to man
She can barely bring herself to compliment guitars than bass for some reason
@@LastHalberdshe is a bassist that’s why
she focuses so much on bass
This is objectively one of the greatest solos of all time. Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains was a good friend of Dimebag, and always noted that while there are many guitarists that can play heavy music, few had the soul and grove that Dimebag brought to it, and coming from Cantrell, one of the greatest Riff lords of all time, that statement has weight. Dimebag is seriously unique amongst all metal guitarists.
What's crazy is he has plenty more solos just as good/even better than this one. The sleep, floods, we'll meet again and hard lines sunken cheeks just to name a few.
@@lumpy9964 He was one of the great for sure. I think I rate this solo up there, even though he has many great solos, because it's reached that kind of iconic status that few solos ever reach.
As some asshole from Seattle, I love your respect for Jerry. He deserves it. He’s still alive
Yes! The official video is a travesty of justice! Leaves out the entire foundation of the song. Most that react to it don’t know there’s a part they’re missing that would blow them away.
This is one of my favourite songs by pantera.
I am glad you listened to the full version of the song instead of jumping straight to the chorus, the beginning is arguablty the best part of the song
Floods…the absolute best guitar work on any Pantera song. Parts of it are from a solo that Dime would do back in the club days. Love that you’ve discovered them. As far as other songs…Shattered, Fucking Hostile, Hollow (Very cemetery gates vibe), actually you can’t go wrong with ANY Pantera song. Please check out Sepultura (original lineup) and Machine Head.
There's footage of Dime on the Dimevision DVD when he was 18 years old playing an early version on the Floods solo. He worked on that solo most of his life perfecting it. The man was a true artist.
The solo from Floods still sends chills down my spine. That is a perfect example of how powerful music can be, the true embodiment of feeling and emotion through music.
Floods is definitely up there! But I would put the solo from "We'll Meet Again" over it by just a little bit 🤘
I feel you ,relate to you
The outro to Floods is called "Rita's Lullaby" and was written when Darrell was young for his girlfriend Rita to play on loop to help her fall asleep.
They were a special band. Blessed to have seen them live a few times
"THIS LOVE" is the song that turned me onto Pantera almost 30 years ago.
It's really really nice to watch someone's reaction to these music that I've been listening to pretty much all my life
I’ve been in love with this band for like thirty years but it was awesome seeing you get to the very end just to realize Rex (bass) has just been kicking your ass the whole way thru without “standing out”
Probably their most powerful song. Great reaction!
Glad you enjoyed ❤️
I think I'm broken is more powerful
Floods.
Phil’s voice is monster powerful!
This is one of my favorite Pantera tracks. The ending is so epic! I love that you put your heart rate on the screen. While you are on a Pantera kick, I recommend The Great Southern Trendkill! It’s another heavy and epic one. ☺️😉😊👍🏽🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥☀️☀️☀️
💥😎💥Floods....btw, Love the Reactions!💥!
Thank you so much for getting the whole intro and video! Much love to you and your channel. I was engaged and she passed away last October. This song means alot to me to say the least. RIP Harley
Pantera was the bomb in the early 90's! They were the best thrash band of the early 90's and pretty much invented groove metal with Vulgar Display of Power. Such a great band! And Dimebag Darrel was unrivaled in his guitar playing!
Exactly... Sometimes people ask me why i love this "old" band, it's not bad but there are better bands... And so on and so on. WELL: These people are in their 20s and i guess you can only fully understand what Pantera was when you lived in the 90s. There simply was no Slipknot or Five finger death punch or or or. I never forget the moment i heard "Mouth for war" as i thought Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeth were the hardest and best bands in the world. Holy crap, Pantera blew all of the straight away and defined the sound of the next decade to come. And if you saw them livein the 90s (thank god i had the chance 2 times) they were a unbelievable tight powerhorse on stage. Never heard such greatness again. That were 2 once in a livetime experiences never to be forgotten.
Dk if you caught it but Phil and dimebag was going back to back with the high notes at the end, absolutely insane
PanterA above All!! Keep digging deeper into their music. One of my favorites is War Nerve.
Man when I was coming up we had such good music back then! I remember buying this album when it was new in like '89 or '90 I think. Pantera rules, they crushed then and they crush now. They go HAM on the riff game Dimebag was second to none!
the deeper you get into their songs you'll see how Dimes notes and feeling he gave, made each track literal magic, listen to "10's" and "Floods" and tell me it doesn't make you tear up
This is my favorite reaction I’ve ever seen. It clicked with you. You saw the magic. They were the best to ever do it and nobody will ever tip them.
@ 5:36 "I feel like one of the GREATEST....guitarists of all time"
Yes. He was.
In my simple and humble opinion, he is the LAST true "guitar god" None since....
He belongs in the same room with Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Tommy Iommi, Randy Rhoades...and Eddie VAN HALEN.
Dimebag was "arguably" the best Metal Guitarist of all time.
I saw him live many times, he gave goosebumps to THOUSANDS of people every time he played.
Yes pantera did have a massive impact on my life, your so right beautiful
I JUST found your channel this morning, and what a PERFECT video to grab my attention....This band was EVERYTHING to me after I found them, and opened me up to so many more great bands in the process and aftermath of discovering them... That being said, you should consider a song from Vulgar Display of Power, that is unique on the entirety of the album, and I suspect it is a FAR UNDERRATED /APPRECIATED MASTERPIECE as a specific showcase of their talents. To me lyrically, it is one of Pantera's most significant and powerful songs. Its an emotional roller coaster....and you can feel every bit of the pain and sadness behind this song when it was written. PLEASE STRONGLY consider doing a reaction video to "Hollow".. I CANNOT recommend this song/video enough... With LOVE. RIP to the Abbott Brothers...
I'm glad that you did the full version of this song. A lot of UA-camrs don't do the mellow part of the video. I got a quote tattoo dedicated to the Abbott brothers on my right shoulder that says "They Came To Rock and Rocked Like No Other." I know that they are up in heaven and jamming out. R.I.P the Abbott Brothers
RIP Dime... we miss and love ya!! Great review Aileen!!! Keep up the good work!!
RIP to Vinnie as well
I'm new to Aileen's content, but as I go through her Pantera collection, I have to say this is one of the few reaction channels that I actually don't mind the pauses. She has a way of articulating emotion into words that I've rarely seen amongst the genre. She really does get it. RIP DB-VP 👊🤘
The Sleep is probably my absolute favorite Dime solo!!!!!!!! Gotta experience some of their more hardcore stuff too! War Nerve, Slaughtered, Suicide Note 1&2 are a must!!
Suicide Note 2 is probably the hardest song they play.
Thought I was the only one, The Sleep solo is my favorite solo of any guitarist ever
Amen The Sleep is just straight NASTY
People definitely sleep on The Sleep. lol
Wow! The singer is so on point. Every single note happens just exactly when it has to happen. Simply wow. Great performance, also very good work from the rest of the band. Love the song!
Me too, Aileen. I was just totally in the song as you said you were. Couldn't think of anything else, and just enjoyed the song.
Your musical opinion is so refined and educated. Grateful for finding you.
It was pretty cool being a kid back then and seeing stuff like this come across MTV. I sure miss those days.
If you want to hear Phil's Rob Halford "inspired" singing voice. Just listen to his 1st album with Pantera, Power Metal. A very underrated, forgotten and important 1st step towards the Pantera we all know and love.
There's also shattered from this album
The solo in We'll meet again is just fucking insane, what a great album
My thoughts exactly
@@franciscoborjaescobarsuare5802 yeah, that's always been their hardest song for me. Very hard to even passably get through without sounding weak AF by the end sounding more like like The Darkness, lol.
@@sheloflores290 man that solo is so fucking good. I'm not really a fan of the style of the rest of the song but that solo is one of Dime's best for sure
You get it, and it warmed this genX heart. Thank you 🙏
When you get a chance, you should check out Dimebag Darrell's solo called "still got the blues". It's a really awesome solo that Dime perfected over his career as a professional musician. Dime wasn't only a guitar genius, he was a fun cool guy that would literally stop his tour bus and pickup fans to party with and hang out. He was so cool that he would grill steaks and hang out with his fans, that's the Dimebag Darrell I knew. I was lucky enough to hang out backstage with Dime once. And he stayed there until 5:00 in the morning just to make sure he talked to everyone who waited for hours just to talk to. Rest in peace Dime and Vinny, the world of metal has never been the same without them both!
That’s a Gary Moore song that Dime covered
Probably the most well spoken, thoughtful, intuitive reaction to one of two of my favorite bands anyone has done. Thank you for your kind words regarding the Abbott brothers. I hope your channel thrives and people respect your level of respect you put out
Classic song and Pantera was a gift. I hope you get to react to Krisgalder by Heilung. The live version at Castle Fest is the best way to experience the song as the band sounds completely different live than on their album.
Yeah one of the most haunting guitar solos. Awesome
Pantera é o máximo, melhor banda que existe, fã brasileiro . Parabéns pelo trabalho
Brasil! Maximo respeito pelo trabalho dos caras.
I've Seen like 9,000 of these kinds of reactions, this time I'm in love with this girls' reactions to heavy music. Subscribing
Pantera rocks
The intro is one of the best parts, it sets up the whole song. That's one thing the official video misses. And also this is literally one of my favorite guitar solos of all time
I love Dime but Phil gets overlooked when we talk about Panteras success. He's probably the best lead vocalist for a metal band in history. Don't @ me with Hetfield as well :)
Every member is quintessential. They’re the perfect textbook of what metal is.
New subscriber, glad to see the younger generation appreciate great music as well as the artistry behind it
They should invent a "goosebump-o-meter" , that would score pretty high for this song :😝
This was the first Pantera song I ever heard. It's been so long I forgot this song was on the Tales From The Crypt Presents: Demon Knight Soundtrack. Also one of my all time favorite horror movies ever, but when it came out this song was on the hard rock/metal radio stations as basically the official theme song for the movie. I saw them a few short years later with Type O Negative at my first ever Metal show. I was 15! I looked older than I was and my Uncle got me in. Seeing Pantera was like a religious experience followed by about 25 years worth of Metal shows after seeing these guys.
Спасибо большое что вспомнили эту легендарную песенку! Она и правда гениальна.
best pantera song
If you think this is a good solo, wait until you hear Floods.
It's truly one of the most beautiful songs ever written...
For a great Dime solo you need to listen to " The sleep " and his best one is on Power Metal and that is before Cowboys from hell and the first Album with Phil Anselmo as their singer...the number on that is "We'll meet again" ....check it out.
I love how you pointed out Rex’s bass because most reaction channels don’t even do that and he’s such an underrated bass player one of my most favourite bass players of all time
"Jesus Fucking Christ" The best reaction to Pantera 👍🏼👍🏼
This song hits you in the feels every time.
When you submit to a piece of music that beautifully breaks your heart.
You’re so beautiful I’m so many ways!!! Never seen a woman love metal like you. And you’re funny, and gorgeous at the same time. You’ll make someone happy if you already aren’t.
thank you very much!
Dime wrote that solo in about 20 minutes and did it in one take for the recording. More than a man, less than a God. And he and Vinnie were really great guys to just hang out with.
Phil was an opera singer before he started Pantera. His voice is incredible.
no he wasn't
I'm glad you are discovering the great bands who have been here this whole time.... another fan is always welcome!!!!
Your music opinions are great. I'd just stick to music and stay away from making comments in streams like Disgusting red states. Other than that good reaction.
Glad you took the time to make sure you listened to the proper version. It definitely changes the whole dynamic of the song. Great reaction. If you want heavier from them, "Primal toxic concrete sledge" hits hard. Also "A new level" or a hidden gem with my favorite riff possibly ever; "Slaughtered"..."The art of shredding" is killer too. Basically their whole discography is incredible, but these are off the top of my head...oh, and a classic favorite, "Cowboys from hell" very iconic riff.
The "two vocalists" thing is shown so well in this, especially at the end (we all know which part).
I saw Pantera live around Thanksgiving in 97 while I was in The US Army. Excellent show. A good friend of mine worked at The Clubhouse. It was a Gentlemen's Club in Dallas that Pantera would hang at, she was working the night Dime was murdered. She said it was surreal when the news hit. Everybody was crying and just absolutely devastated. Yeah, Pantera is a band that will always hold a near and dear place in my heart. Thanks for the reaction. New subscriber.
I was lucky enough to see Pantera live back in the late 90s Phil Anselmo has by far the best voice of all the greats in metal. when i was a metal band vocalist his was the 1 voice i wished i had the ability to reproduce. such class across the board and not just his voice but the entire band's skills and talents are almost unrivaled.
I literally just got this,,, dime bag is foreshadowing the extreme riffs and playbacks of some of the best music ever in the intro
Your smile says it all. 😍 Your love of music. 🤟🏼
RIP Dimebag. You are the man. Passing your music onto my kids, how could you not?
I've might have told you ,I've been thishening to this since I was 15 I'm now almost 47 , I still love it every day
