Not gonna lie, I just started choking up when I saw Dime crack a smile mid-solo. I will always say that no one played with such joy as him. He loved playing and he was right where he belonged.
Peter Amaral Dude me too You could see it when he melted the neck on that guitar....most influential and such a key element in Metal today Rip Abbot Brothers Thank You
I spent time with Dime in Cincinnati before and after the show. It was the early 90s. He was the most humble and kind person you could ever meet. He said some great things to me. He called me brother. Thanks for sharing his music. This is his greatest live solo ever. Over 1million people in that crowd. God bless The Abbott Brothers.
Man, he made you feel like one of the group, He was the best...there was no arrogance in him... If you was with him, in his opinion that's right where you needed to be. He went out of his way to make sure everyone was laughing and having the best time...
I spent time with Dime Rex & Vinny in Asbury park NJ in 98’ i believe, and they where 3 of the most humbled nicest people ive ever met. They made it a point to thank me and my friends for our support. Then right before we went into the venue, Phil came by, boy was he grumpy in his heroin days.. RIP Big Vin & Dime.
It was actually the friendliest pit I'd ever been in. I got tripped up and fell on the floor and everyone around me stopped and picked me up! I made my way through the crowd to Dimebag's side and the guitar amps were so loud I was like "nope....not staying here" and made my way back to the center....lol.
@Johnny Mack are you remedial? Phil is the reason they became what they were. Before that they were a glam band. Dimebag was Diamond Darrell, and Rex was Rex Rocker. When they recruited Phil, he turned them in the direction that they were wanting to go, and what they were to become.
Those big squeals Dime does on his guitar are very hard to do. Within a second you have to dump the whammy bar, hit a harmonic note, then bring the whammy bar back up and pull it back to make the harmonic squeal. It takes incredible skill and timing to do that, and Dime was the absolute master of the technique.
Honestly, it really isn't that hard. The BIGGEST thing is you CANNOT have a cheap tremolo. Like you need an ORIGINAL floyd rose from Germany. Not Japan. Otherwise it'll go WAYY put of tune, and this weird considering Dime played in quarter tunings. In between flats and standards
@I'm So Fly yeah, seen it three times. A special documentary that explains the origins about " American Gods" showed "One Eye" and mentioned he was a mortal sacraficed by the " Gods" to the natives - in some old gods legends- saw it this morning.ua-cam.com/video/D_lpQDc5pHE/v-deo.html At 3:41- just a bit of the movie- not sure it relates directly
Not only a band from my home state but a band from my hometown. Was lucky enough to have seen them live many many times from small clubs to the starplex.
I saw them with Anthrax and Megadeath, it was in Texas and Megadeath was the lead band. Pantera blew them away, I remember that so well, it’s why I made that statement.
Not just as a bass player, but as a musician. He did a lot of the backing guitar tracks on the albums. I would love to hear a jam session between Rex and Jason. The power of heavy, both using picks. 🤘
Rest in peace, Vinnie and Dime! Love to Rex and Phil, still killing it! Hail Kings! Every song is a kickass, timeless "arrogant, explosive motherfuck!" Stronger than all!
Man, I happy as shit that you enjoy Pantera....I can't hardly watch it because I'm choked up and in the verge to tears. Pantera was the soundtrack of my youth, Dime was amazing and a hell of a great person. I miss him and Vin sooo much. Their live shows were the best, they loved performing, they were so grateful to be in the position to make music and entertain for their livelihood. Fuck yeah man, Get'cha Pull of more Pantera...crank it, it would've made Dime & Vin happy to know you like what they did.
That is all Dime did my man... He KILLED it. He had a beautiful soul and a heart the size of Texas. And when he put a guitar on... IT WAS ON ! ! ! He became something else. It was like his power up lol And he would take you somewhere else. God I miss him. But he is still here with me daily. And ALWAYS will be.
Try to think of it the other way around man. Thank god we still have two left. Just saw Phil with the illegals couple of months ago. Motherfucker was on point and so was the band.
I saw them in '93 and it was one of the best concert experiences of my life. (I've been to a lot of metal shows) They were just razor sharp, one of the tightest bands in the history of metal...
Love the fact that people that come from completely different backgrounds, life experiences, countries, etc, can come together as one for the love of heavy metal!🤟🤟🤟
Completely agreed. No other band sounds as legitimately angry, pissed off and scary as they do.😂 Like when Phil screams a line you really feel like he's calling you out.lol You believe every damn word he has to say. And obviously Dime is the best all around metal guitarist in history.
Welcome to the family !!!! Pantera is my favorite metal band of all time. There's nothing that gets me amped more than listening to pantera! God bless you brother!
I was at the show in mexico when they opened for metallica. As soon as they started chairs started flying and people jumped the barricades. After pantera the place looked like a warzone, it was awesome
HEAVY drums, HEAVY vocals, HEAVY riffs, HEAVY EVERYTHING!!! You feel your lungs being crushed, but you DON'T give a f**k!!! GOD BLESS the Abbott brothers. May their souls rest in peace...🙏🤘🎸🥁🤘🙏❤
Never saw Pantera, especially since Dime and Vinnie passed. Saw Phillip Anselmo and the Illegals in Omaha with Slayer a few weeks ago and did all Pantera songs. Killer!🤘
I was lucky enough to see PanterA 3 times in my teens and early 20's. The first show I saw I was 16 years old in 1996 and it was TGSTK tour. And that album is one of the most foul, brutally aggressive records to date, so of course the pit was just so out of control. Me and my crew of 10 boys I'd grown up with since 4 years old were in the pit just dominating it. One of my bros brought this chick to the show and he had stole her from this other dude she lived by, and so when this dude and his crew came into the pit, it was fuckin on! Those dudes got their asses beat because back then my crew was like a single person almost, we all belonged to each other and would die for one another, a bond thats still there today. I remember during the song War Nerve this dude in the other crew had a bull ring piercing through his nose and during the fight one of my bros ripped it out and after that he only had 1 nostril. One of my other buddies had teeth marks in his boots from kicking in faces. We left with battle scars and bruises too, but we still won! I've seen just about any Metal band worth a shit and I can tell you that NO ONE can or could perform and put on the most face melting, intense and brutal live show ever. The other 2 times i saw the band live, no fights like that happened but the shows were just as intense as the 1st! It also sticks out in my mind Dimes confederate flag guitar that's waving. Such a cool ass guitar! He was wearing a black and green Washburn Monster guitars shirt! I just really remember that. I love this band for the helping to forge the bond me and my brothers still have today. I firmly believe that if it wasnt for this band and like minded Metal, the bond we have wouldn't be half as strong as it is! My point is to tell you a small story cuz you said you wanted to hear them and for me to re-live a moment where I was most proud of my family! Hope you enjoyed it, and the haters who will say I'm full of shit, FOAD! STRONGER THAN ALL FOREVER!
I was fortunate enough to see Pantera live 5 times while they were still around. The absolute most energetic shows I've ever been to. The band and the audience just fed off of each other like nothing I'd seen before or since. I got bruised and bloodied and I loved every last minute of it!
I always love seeing people react when Dimebag starts shredding, it's like seeing it for the first time again through fresh eyes, and I remember why I love Pantera so much! Great vid and reaction!
Like Rex said .... They slipped thru that little crak, while Metallica were eating a bananna on the Music awards show, Pantera were out there killing it hard imo
I was lucky enough to share a metal moment with Dimebag a few months before he passed at a DamagePlan show he is was always will be an amazing individual he still LIVES through MANY
Love seeing so many reactors discovering the magic that is Pantera. Dime was truly an amazing man and friend to everyone of us blessed enough to cross his path. Vinnie was all heart as well....No band gave more deeply of themselves to their supporters. When Dime was murdered, music forever changed. Also, this festival in Russia was a truly historical because this music and culture were a huge no-no there. It was very difficult show for the guys tho because they had a front row seat to seeing these people being beaten by the 'authorities' in the crowd simply because the audience was acting like the audience at any metal show... banging their heads, moshing, etc.... Security took it as violence and were beating them with their rubber clubs. I asked them about the experience a few years later and they said it was a true exercise in restraint to not stop the songs and go defend the ones being beaten. But they knew their own safety was iffy given WHERE they were..... and I believe their words because I personally witnessed Phil stop a song, more than once, to go after security folks for roughing up audience members here in the U.S.
I saw them live at on the Vulgar Display of Power tour in 1992 at the Shrine auditorium in Los Angels. To this day I’ve never heard a band sound so much like their studio sound than Pantera. I am convinced that why is because the Vinny and Dime are brothers. That give them a special connection and when they are playing it’s just an amazing thing to see live. Could you imagine having to play after them.
Testament is one of my "personal big 4", and they are so damn good.. but to call them the most underrated thrash band??? :D They're technically around the size of Anthrax, and certainly held in higher regard by (real) thrash fans. Have you never heard of Kreator, Sepultura (1989-1991), Vio-Lence, Forbidden, Obliveon, Hexenhaus etc.? All of them are more underrated than Testament imo.
I've got some Pantera stories for you. :) I live in Dallas, which is where these guys were born and raised, and they were huge here in the 90s. In 1999, the year the Dallas Stars won the Stanley Cup, they made a Stars war anthem that was played at each game and on all commercials for Stars games. You should find that song actually. It's very similar to Walk, but I digress. I was a huge Stars fan and watched every game that year...and that's over 80. When the Stars won, a parade through downtown was setup for the team and Pantera had their own float. They came floating through downtown with amps blaring .. and they were just as popular as the players, if not more so. A few years later, or maybe it was before, Pantera had a big comeback concert at Reunion Arena.... which is where the Stars and Mavs played. There was a Mavericks game before the concert so chairs were setup on top of the basketball court floor....bad idea for such a rowdy band in their hometown. Pretty early on people started pulling up the sections of wood flooring. Since there was a Stars game the next night, there was ice under the wood! People were body surfing the planks across the crowd with people on top of them. Meanwhile the crowd is slipping around on the ice and throwing chairs around. It quickly got out of hand and the police came in and tried to shut it down and it turned into a near riot. It was insane.... can't imagine another concert ever matching it. :)
RIP Mr. Dimebag Darrell and Vinny Paul. They were influencers in their own regard. Dimebag was the Hendrix/Van Halen of that generation. Vinny was just a heavy hitter on the kit. Their stuff was simple but so well executed every time. He changed how the guitar was played. It was nasty to hear the riffs that he wrote with his brother on drums. \m/
Lots of people have said the same thing about Metallica's energy, but pantera, dime majorly, was the burning heart of that band. It took phil until it was too late to figure that out fully. I still weep on a weekly basis, sometimes physically, but mostly mentally, over Dimes passing. He was a part of my life from the age of 14 to age 37 (present) It's like losing a family member, except sometimes worse, because sometimes the reason you are LISTENING to them, is to GET AWAY from your family members, that's when it's the toughest, is when the band is all you had.
I remember when cowboys fr hell came out, I was a sophomore in high school. From that point on Pantera has been my favorite band of all time. Middle age with fond memories of this beast of a band!!!
I saw Pantera at Ozzfest 2000. At the time I wasnt a fan of them. Well after hearing them and,seeing the power and aggression from that band I was hooked. I promptly went home and called my brother to tell him he fucked up by not going to the show. Ozzy was pretty good but The Kings of Metal Pantera were on another level.
It was great to see you smile and laugh over dimes killer guitar playing. I remember my first time hearing him play and thought what the fuck is going on! He was one of the last real metal players left. One of the last guitar heroes Rip dime. He was good enough that Eddie van Halen sent him away at his funeral with one of his guitars.
97 ozzfest was my first time seeing pantera live and when the first song started someone released 3 ARMY issue smoke bombs…the smoke filled the air like a battlefield and the pit began… I wasn't so much drawn into the pit because it just exploded around me, sheer pandemonium.. one of my best experiences at a concert!
I have gotten the chance to see Pantera live three times. I've seen other metal shows but none of them have ever compared to the energy to Dimebag, Vinnie, Phil and Rex put on. At one of the show's my friend was crowd surfing got grabbed by the crotch and the throat by a security guard. Phil stop singing mid song threatened The Bouncer and told him if he ever did something like that again that he was going down there himself and beating him down. To this day still the best metal band I've ever heard
Not in the past, not now, nor do I believe in the future will there ever be a band as heavy, aggressive, talented, and such a demanding stage presence as Pantera! I remember being 5yrs old and my dad (who loves all forms of music) brought home the Monsters Of Moscow VHS tape from the video rental store and I'll never forget watching this performance. I was hooked on heavy music and Ozzy Osbourne got me there at that age but this sealed the deal😎 Glad u enjoyed dude and cool reaction vid
Dime was murdered and it's a damn shame for the whole metal community. He fired up those new ingenious riffs like a machine gun. He was a bottomless bucket of metal epicness. The band was in deep turmoil way before the killing of Darrel Abbott. None the less as a long time fan I always liked to think that they could have worked it out had Darrel lived. I never got to see Pantera live, but his influence in metalhead riddled Finland is huge. I was about 12 when Darrell Abbott was shot on stage. Next day, our small town school in Finland held a 2 minutes of silence for Darrell Abbott... School that teaches 7-12 years old.
omg i was 14 yrs old when I saw my first of many Pantera show ....extremely lucky to have seen them here in S.A. TX. I also was lucky enough to see Dimebag on Oct 2004 with Damageplan...never ever would have thought it would be the last. RIP Dime & Vinnie.
Was almost there. Was on the way to the show and had to turn around to go into work. Biggest regret I have to this day. Always wondered if there was something I could have done had I gone. That shit still haunts me.
I live a few hours away in Kent, Next summer I am taking a trip on my bike to the Alrosa then down to Vist their dad's studio in Tenn, them to texas to visit all of the Pantera and SRV landmarks, then Florida to visit the Dean HQ and go to bike week
Had the luck of seeing rhem live in the early 90s....they were opening for Judas Priest! After that, they made history. Check out the song Walk, that's kick ass too!!!!😊👍
I’ve seen Pantera 5 times. Best story I have was at the Denver Colosseum. During The show they slowly unveiled these giant diamond plate letters spelling PANTERA. The last two songs the letters were shooting giant flames to the beat of the drums. Only to realize Kerry King and Jeff from Slayer walked out on stage and played Cowboys from Hell with them to close the set. It was insane.
I got to meet and get autographs from Dime , Vinnie, and Rex backstage in Seattle . Blessed I got to see them 4 times and they absolutely destroyed . Forever stronger than all.
Been to 21 Pantera concerts from 94-99 Nobody put on a show like Pantera. Cool side note (Phil is a huge boxing fan and if you look closely at the shirt he has on under his flannel you will notice he is wearing a Tyson vs Hollyfield shirt from the fight that never happened because Tyson was sent to prison.)
Very good eye! I grew up 10 miles away from the Abbott brothers and only saw them once in concert. I always thought that I would have forever to watch them as many times as I wanted. Never got to meet them either. 21 Pantera shows!!!!!! That’s way cool! 🤘
Great Pantera sounds Shedding Skin, Becoming, Yesterday Don't Mean Shit, Primal Concrete Sledge live Moscow same show as Domination, Hollow studio version, The Sleep, Floods, A New Level, Cowboys From Hell
Been to about 100 shows so far in my life. Pantera has still been the best show ever (either in 2000 or 2001 saw them in Orlando, FL) and still my favorite band hands down. RIP Dime and Vin.
I saw Pantera supporting Megadeth in 1992 and I hadn't really heard of them or listened to much of their stuff then, but after the show, I became a fan. It was a phenomonal concert and I was lucky enough to meet Phil, Dimebag and Rex before the show and get autographs. I met the 2 Dave's and Marty from Megadeth and got their autographs as well. This was back when all you had to do was hang around the back of the concert hall to meet bands. I've still got my 'Far Beyond Driven' signed album cover as well!
I saw Pantera with White Zombie back in '96...best show I've ever been to by far. It's like in addition to sound they have raw energy blasting out of the speakers energizing the crowd. People moshing and headbanging the entire set...it's an insane but awesome experience that my words can't really describe.
Dimebag is a legend that will never be duplicated. I was very unfortunate to see his last show 15 feet from the stage but by far the best concert I've ever seen was 6 months before that fateful night. Dime is a one of a kind! Get ya a pull!! 333
I saw pantera in "98, with faith no More in kansas City. Ran into a friend in the parking lot selling pipes, he usually went to phish shows, but was at a Pantera show, to my surprise. That late in their careers, Pantera was still heavy as hell. Pretty sure it was 98 or 99. You are aware what happend to Dimebag on stage with Damageplan right? Check it out if not- great post.
Craziest, best live performances EVER! Went to see them at Ozzfest '96 and they broke out 5 Minutes Alone. Absolute monster pit....kids, women, older folks,....all were throwing hands! I will never forget it!
I was very fortunate to have seen Pantera 3 times in my life. The very last time I saw them was at the Extreme Steel Tour with Pantera/Slayer/Static-X/Skrape/Morbid Angel at the Tacoma Dome back in 2001! Before Pantera and Slayer came on stage, fans would jump 10-15 feet from the bleachers to the floor and bum rush past security to get to the pit! Fans were obviously jacked and pitted it up like crazy, but even more so when Pantera played “I’ll Cast a Shadow!” The entire floor was one big gigantic pit, it was insane!! Still to this day, it’s hands down the best show I’ve ever seen!
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Naah, Gojira is somehow underrated by some people but most Reactions are very positive 😁 The Axe, Le'faunt Savage and not to mention Stranded 😎 Lamb of God, I've been a big fan since they Where "warm up band" for Metallica here in Norway back in 2009 or whatever.
I got to see Pantera live in 2000 during the Reinvention the Steel tour. I remember being in my seat close to stage and looking back into the crowed out in the field and multiple bonfires going on with people moshing around them, and security running with fire extinguishers. One of the best concerts I've been to and never to be lived again except through memory. R.I.P Dime and Vinnie
Damn!!!! That's fuckn epic. Probably a bad day to be a security guard. I saw an interview where Phil was like " yea, there's always an ambulance at our shows" .
I have seen Pantera over 50 times and have met them all. Pantera wasn't just a band it was a way of life.. we are the most savage fans you would ever come across. It's is a god damn shame the younger generations won't get to feel the energy these metal gods put out live. It can't be recreated. This band helped a lot of us thru the dark times. Bad day crank some pantera. Dimebag ranks up there as one of the best of all times. I wear pantera ink and will always be that diehard fan . Thank you for reacting to this. React to yesterday don't mean shit live from ozzfest . That was one of their last shows as a band last night of the tour. Strait raw energy!!!
As a dude who's 23, I missed Pantera in their day. But I can certainly place the exact moment this came on at random on Metal Madness on VH1 Classic and changed my whole perspective on Pantera and heavy music as a whole. Without this video and Dime, I wouldn't be as involved with guitar and heavy music in general as I am
Every black American should listen to Pantera...why ? Because Pantera is Spanish for "Panther". God,I miss Dime & Vinnie ! 😥 These were magical times from 1990-96. It was either 2Pac or Pantera in high school ?! Even Pantera metalheads were listening to Pac. But this Pantera movement was huge & their shows were unbelievably huge & amazing. The whole crowd would mosh. It was like a giant tornado of bodies & if you got knocked down. There was always another brother there to pick you up !
He came to rock And rocked like no other With the heart twice the size of Texas Our beloved bother, mentor, idol, companion and friend... We love you Dime... Until we meet again
Thanks for reacting our favorite kick ass pantera. I like the way when u reacted about their performance towards how aggressive and heavy they are and that's how we see about them as fans
How would you even service a million people??? Jesus!
The 3 heaviest things in the universe.
3- Neutron star
2- Black Hole
1- The breakdown in Pantera's Domination.😉
I'm telling you!
\m/ My brother. You made my f'in day with this comment. I feel enlightened because of it.
Stay Metal!!!!💀
ITS DOMINATION!!!!!!
PUSHED INTO MINIVAN!!

Panera makes bread. Think you meant Pantera 😉
@@artvandelay7608 yup lol thanks for the heads up.
Fourth: my wife's hand when I come back ( stoned ) after midnight. 😉😂
Not gonna lie, I just started choking up when I saw Dime crack a smile mid-solo. I will always say that no one played with such joy as him. He loved playing and he was right where he belonged.
So did i man. Its hard watching videos of them in their prime. Especially after Vinnie passed..
Peter Amaral
Dude me too
You could see it when he melted the neck on that guitar....most influential and such a key element in Metal today
Rip Abbot Brothers
Thank You
Cheers man, me too!!
I also choked up. Dime was the biggest influence on me and my guitar playing. RIP Dime! You are truly missed.
Peter Amaral Gets me every time! Dime was just epic 🤟

I envy you getting to meet Dime, but you sound so humble, that I can't even be mad. Hold onto those memories my friend. Respect from Canada.
“He called me brother.”
That made me tear up. I’m proud to share the home state of Texas with Pantera.
Man, he made you feel like one of the group, He was the best...there was no arrogance in him... If you was with him, in his opinion that's right where you needed to be. He went out of his way to make sure everyone was laughing and having the best time...

Pantera was the most fun you could ever have a metal show
Dude I can only imagine, I'd kill to see them
Yup!
Saw them four times in Indy
It was actually the friendliest pit I'd ever been in. I got tripped up and fell on the floor and everyone around me stopped and picked me up! I made my way through the crowd to Dimebag's side and the guitar amps were so loud I was like "nope....not staying here" and made my way back to the center....lol.

He basically reinvented the whammy after it was falling out of fashion
@@MrAdravix And someone like Kirk Hammett uses it as a crutch.
Honestly, it really isn't that hard. The BIGGEST thing is you CANNOT have a cheap tremolo. Like you need an ORIGINAL floyd rose from Germany. Not Japan. Otherwise it'll go WAYY put of tune, and this weird considering Dime played in quarter tunings. In between flats and standards
That is a badass movie, with one eye, featured on your profile pick.

At 3:41- just a bit of the movie- not sure it relates directly
Not only a band from my home state but a band from my hometown. Was lucky enough to have seen them live many many times from small clubs to the starplex.
I remember seeing them at Joe's garage and the basement. Joe's garage would have pieces of the ceiling falling off sometimes.
Bong Zilla I envy u... I’ll only be able to see what’s left of pantera through slayer...
@@bobbyball77 both those places bring back some great memories.
Lucky man
Me too, apparently my uncle knew him personally when they went to school together
Imagine having to come on stage after Pantera shreds it . . .
Metallica in their prime...pretty insane how high of a level these bands were all at.
Skid row was after them around this time if I remember correctly. Needless to say people had mixed feelings about that.
@@toddlerwipes Actually a Russian band called E.S.T. played after Pantera followed by the Black Crowes.
@@TribulationGuild So which tour was it when skid row played after pantera? Was it the one with Priest?
I saw them with Anthrax and Megadeath, it was in Texas and Megadeath was the lead band. Pantera blew them away, I remember that so well, it’s why I made that statement.
Another great live performance by Pantera, & it's from the same show, Primal Concrete Sledge.
Second that. All the time I ever saw them live, primal concrete sledge was the show stopper neck breaker
Came here to say the exact same thing. 🤘
Don't forget Cowboys from Hell , it's from the same show too :) , fuckin' awesome & brutal perfomance too !
I feel like Rex was really underrated.
most definitely, his basslines are on par with dime n vinnie easily
Not just as a bass player, but as a musician.
He did a lot of the backing guitar tracks on the albums. I would love to hear a jam session between Rex and Jason. The power of heavy, both using picks. 🤘
😔 so underrated. He's a beast
Rex is extremely under rated. He played the Backing Guitar with Dime as well.
Wasnt under rated. He complimented one of the greatest ever! Rex is a beast!
Rest in peace, Vinnie and Dime! Love to Rex and Phil, still killing it! Hail Kings! Every song is a kickass, timeless "arrogant, explosive motherfuck!" Stronger than all!
Man, I happy as shit that you enjoy Pantera....I can't hardly watch it because I'm choked up and in the verge to tears. Pantera was the soundtrack of my youth, Dime was amazing and a hell of a great person. I miss him and Vin sooo much.

That is all Dime did my man...
He KILLED it.
He had a beautiful soul and a heart the size of Texas.
And when he put a guitar on...
IT WAS ON ! ! !
He became something else.
It was like his power up lol
And he would take you somewhere else.
God I miss him.
But he is still here with me daily.
And ALWAYS will be.
Here with me daily as well, Getcha Pull 🤘🤘🤘
Its sad that there are only 2 members of Pantera remaining
Try to think of it the other way around man. Thank god we still have two left. Just saw Phil with the illegals couple of months ago. Motherfucker was on point and so was the band.
I saw them in '93 and it was one of the best concert experiences of my life. (I've been to a lot of metal shows) They were just razor sharp, one of the tightest bands in the history of metal...
yea, everyone pantera really came with their A game when performing.
Love the fact that people that come from completely different backgrounds, life experiences, countries, etc, can come together as one for the love of heavy metal!🤟🤟🤟
Pantera is the most meanest sounding metal band ever.
Completely agreed. No other band sounds as legitimately angry, pissed off and scary as they do.😂
Like when Phil screams a line you really feel like he's calling you out.lol You believe every damn word he has to say. And obviously Dime is the best all around metal guitarist in history.
Damn skippy

Your reaction to dimes solo is so good! I’ve listened to the song hundreds of not thousands of times and I still go freak out when I hear it.
Pantera!!!! Kings of metal!!! Always on my playlist. Rest in power Dime and Vince.
Never saw Pantera, especially since Dime and Vinnie passed. Saw Phillip Anselmo and the Illegals in Omaha with Slayer a few weeks ago and did all Pantera songs. Killer!🤘
Pantera was and still is the best live concert I've ever seen to this day!
Got a story to share?
Pantera was a very accessible band. They would come hang out at the Basement and party. Everyone has a Pantera story
I was lucky enough to see PanterA 3 times in my teens and early 20's. The first show I saw I was 16 years old in 1996 and it was TGSTK tour. And that album is one of the most foul, brutally aggressive records to date, so of course the pit was just so out of control. Me and my crew of 10 boys I'd grown up with since 4 years old were in the pit just dominating it. One of my bros brought this chick to the show and he had stole her from this other dude she lived by, and so when this dude and his crew came into the pit, it was fuckin on! Those dudes got their asses beat because back then my crew was like a single person almost, we all belonged to each other and would die for one another, a bond thats still there today. I remember during the song War Nerve this dude in the other crew had a bull ring piercing through his nose and during the fight one of my bros ripped it out and after that he only had 1 nostril. One of my other buddies had teeth marks in his boots from kicking in faces. We left with battle scars and bruises too, but we still won! I've seen just about any Metal band worth a shit and I can tell you that NO ONE can or could perform and put on the most face melting, intense and brutal live show ever. The other 2 times i saw the band live, no fights like that happened but the shows were just as intense as the 1st! It also sticks out in my mind Dimes confederate flag guitar that's waving. Such a cool ass guitar! He was wearing a black and green Washburn Monster guitars shirt! I just really remember that. I love this band for the helping to forge the bond me and my brothers still have today. I firmly believe that if it wasnt for this band and like minded Metal, the bond we have wouldn't be half as strong as it is! My point is to tell you a small story cuz you said you wanted to hear them and for me to re-live a moment where I was most proud of my family! Hope you enjoyed it, and the haters who will say I'm full of shit, FOAD! STRONGER THAN ALL FOREVER!
No.1 you are awesome!!! I wish you could’ve seen them live you would have had a great time. I saw them twice and it was amazing.
my son and I were in Dallas last week and stopped by to pay our respects to Dime and Vinnie. Their Memorial is awesome
I was fortunate enough to see Pantera live 5 times while they were still around. The absolute most energetic shows I've ever been to. The band and the audience just fed off of each other like nothing I'd seen before or since. I got bruised and bloodied and I loved every last minute of it!
I always love seeing people react when Dimebag starts shredding, it's like seeing it for the first time again through fresh eyes, and I remember why I love Pantera so much! Great vid and reaction!
Pantera is my fav band and your reaction to Dimebag was awesome! Why I love this band so much!
It's good to see the Black Brothers listening to Heavy Metal. Breaking the stereotypes. A fellow Samoan Metalhead
Hey if white boys can blast rap why cant the brothers blast metal. It's all one and the same man. Just love.
Stumbled upon your video and glad I did. Pantera has been my favorite band since I was 13. Loved your reaction to this song/video. Keep it up man.
Like Rex said .... They slipped thru that little crak, while Metallica were eating a bananna on the Music awards show, Pantera were out there killing it hard imo
Metallica played at the same EXACT Monsters of Rock concert and killed it as well.
Great opinion
and it shows who ended up being the diva band
well done man ! this is trully iconic
91', Pantera on their way to the heaviest
i love your reaction coach...i am so glad i can watch a MAN respect a genre of music they aren't into...props to you man
I was lucky enough to share a metal moment with Dimebag a few months before he passed at a DamagePlan show he is was always will be an amazing individual he still LIVES through MANY
Love seeing so many reactors discovering the magic that is Pantera.
Dime was truly an amazing man and friend to everyone of us blessed enough to cross his path. Vinnie was all heart as well....No band gave more deeply of themselves to their supporters. When Dime was murdered, music forever changed.
Also, this festival in Russia was a truly historical because this music and culture were a huge no-no there. It was very difficult show for the guys tho because they had a front row seat to seeing these people being beaten by the 'authorities' in the crowd simply because the audience was acting like the audience at any metal show... banging their heads, moshing, etc.... Security took it as violence and were beating them with their rubber clubs.
I asked them about the experience a few years later and they said it was a true exercise in restraint to not stop the songs and go defend the ones being beaten. But they knew their own safety was iffy given WHERE they were..... and I believe their words because I personally witnessed Phil stop a song, more than once, to go after security folks for roughing up audience members here in the U.S.
I saw them live at on the Vulgar Display of Power tour in 1992 at the Shrine auditorium in Los Angels. To this day I’ve never heard a band sound so much like their studio sound than Pantera. I am convinced that why is because the Vinny and Dime are brothers. That give them a special connection and when they are playing it’s just an amazing thing to see live.
Could you imagine having to play after them.
Get you some Testament man. The MOST underrated thrash band. Maybe try some Overkill or Annihilator as well. Peace from Australia.
Exodus too.....especially Rob Dukes era stuff..
Testament - Disciples Of The Watch, would be great for TNT to react!
@@rogerc1596 Fuck yeah
Testament is one of my "personal big 4", and they are so damn good.. but to call them the most underrated thrash band??? :D
They're technically around the size of Anthrax, and certainly held in higher regard by (real) thrash fans. Have you never heard of Kreator, Sepultura (1989-1991), Vio-Lence, Forbidden, Obliveon, Hexenhaus etc.? All of them are more underrated than Testament imo.
I love Alison hell by annihilator!! The intro is cool and it’s got one hell of a riff too
I've got some Pantera stories for you. :)
I live in Dallas, which is where these guys were born and raised, and they were huge here in the 90s. In 1999, the year the Dallas Stars won the Stanley Cup, they made a Stars war anthem that was played at each game and on all commercials for Stars games. You should find that song actually. It's very similar to Walk, but I digress. I was a huge Stars fan and watched every game that year...and that's over 80. When the Stars won, a parade through downtown was setup for the team and Pantera had their own float. They came floating through downtown with amps blaring .. and they were just as popular as the players, if not more so.
A few years later, or maybe it was before, Pantera had a big comeback concert at Reunion Arena.... which is where the Stars and Mavs played. There was a Mavericks game before the concert so chairs were setup on top of the basketball court floor....bad idea for such a rowdy band in their hometown. Pretty early on people started pulling up the sections of wood flooring. Since there was a Stars game the next night, there was ice under the wood! People were body surfing the planks across the crowd with people on top of them. Meanwhile the crowd is slipping around on the ice and throwing chairs around.
It quickly got out of hand and the police came in and tried to shut it down and it turned into a near riot. It was insane.... can't imagine another concert ever matching it. :)
RIP Mr. Dimebag Darrell and Vinny Paul. They were influencers in their own regard. Dimebag was the Hendrix/Van Halen of that generation. Vinny was just a heavy hitter on the kit. Their stuff was simple but so well executed every time. He changed how the guitar was played. It was nasty to hear the riffs that he wrote with his brother on drums. \m/
Grew up in Dallas during the 90s and was lucky enough to see Pantera live 5 times. Epic shit man. Texas Metal \m/
Lots of people have said the same thing about Metallica's energy, but pantera, dime majorly, was the burning heart of that band. It took phil until it was too late to figure that out fully.
I still weep on a weekly basis, sometimes physically, but mostly mentally, over Dimes passing. He was a part of my life from the age of 14 to age 37 (present)
It's like losing a family member, except sometimes worse, because sometimes the reason you are LISTENING to them, is to GET AWAY from your family members, that's when it's the toughest, is when the band is all you had.
I remember when cowboys fr hell came out, I was a sophomore in high school. From that point on Pantera has been my favorite band of all time. Middle age with fond memories of this beast of a band!!!
I saw Pantera at Ozzfest 2000. At the time I wasnt a fan of them. Well after hearing them and,seeing the power and aggression from that band I was hooked. I promptly went home and called my brother to tell him he fucked up by not going to the show. Ozzy was pretty good but The Kings of Metal Pantera were on another level.
I feel honoured to have seen Pantera as my first metal concert back in '94.
Donington?
It was great to see you smile and laugh over dimes killer guitar playing. I remember my first time hearing him play and thought what the fuck is going on! He was one of the last real metal players left. One of the last guitar heroes Rip dime. He was good enough that Eddie van Halen sent him away at his funeral with one of his guitars.
Not just any guitar one of ed's original hand made pieces which are fucking pricless lol
Pantera is touring now. You would probably like Corrosion of Conformity, check out Vote with a Bullet, Albatross or Clean my Wounds by them.
Hands down to the best breakdown in metal history
This performance is history man, 1.6 million people headbanging to this song, must've been insane
The best !
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Дария Ставрович «Круги на воде» | Foreigners React to Daria Stavrovich 'Circles On The Water' +++
Keep going strong Bro. It's a shame Dime and Vinnie have passed but this music lives forever
Thank you for recognizing this music. Much love Bro
Pantera, Metallica etc.... played at the funeral for the Soviet Union!
WOW! I never thought of it that way. Great comment brother!
97 ozzfest was my first time seeing pantera live and when the first song started someone released 3 ARMY issue smoke bombs…the smoke filled the air like a battlefield and the pit began… I wasn't so much drawn into the pit because it just exploded around me, sheer pandemonium.. one of my best experiences at a concert!
woooohooooo shred dat chit Dime !!!!! RIP forever in our hearts !!! RIP Vinnie---you both left your mark on the heart and soul of EVERY metalhead \m/.
I have gotten the chance to see Pantera live three times. I've seen other metal shows but none of them have ever compared to the energy to Dimebag, Vinnie, Phil and Rex put on. At one of the show's my friend was crowd surfing got grabbed by the crotch and the throat by a security guard. Phil stop singing mid song threatened The Bouncer and told him if he ever did something like that again that he was going down there himself and beating him down. To this day still the best metal band I've ever heard
Dude you rock for posting! Love the breakdown!
Not in the past, not now, nor do I believe in the future will there ever be a band as heavy, aggressive, talented, and such a demanding stage presence as Pantera! I remember being 5yrs old and my dad (who loves all forms of music) brought home the Monsters Of Moscow VHS tape from the video rental store and I'll never forget watching this performance. I was hooked on heavy music and Ozzy Osbourne got me there at that age but this sealed the deal😎 Glad u enjoyed dude and cool reaction vid
Damn,it sucks that I just now found this awesome channel but I did find it.Keep up the great work because it is most definitely appreciated.Thank you!
Watching other people enjoy Pantera is a thrill in its own. Truly.
Dime was murdered and it's a damn shame for the whole metal community. He fired up those new ingenious riffs like a machine gun. He was a bottomless bucket of metal epicness. The band was in deep turmoil way before the killing of Darrel Abbott. None the less as a long time fan I always liked to think that they could have worked it out had Darrel lived. I never got to see Pantera live, but his influence in metalhead riddled Finland is huge. I was about 12 when Darrell Abbott was shot on stage. Next day, our small town school in Finland held a 2 minutes of silence for Darrell Abbott... School that teaches 7-12 years old.
wow, thats crazy. His reach was incredible.
omg i was 14 yrs old when I saw my first of many Pantera show ....extremely lucky to have seen them here in S.A. TX. I also was lucky enough to see Dimebag on Oct 2004 with Damageplan...never ever would have thought it would be the last. RIP Dime & Vinnie.
Wow. That's crazy. Even more crazy is the fact that you went to one of their shows at 14. From what I've read their shows were brutal.
Live right down the street from the bar where dimebag Darrel was shot . R.I.P. Dimebag !
I was there but left before it happened went to the little bar down the street to shoot pool because it was to crowded in the alrosa that night
Was almost there. Was on the way to the show and had to turn around to go into work. Biggest regret I have to this day. Always wondered if there was something I could have done had I gone. That shit still haunts me.
Steven Smith man that’s gnarly as
I live a few hours away in Kent, Next summer I am taking a trip on my bike to the Alrosa then down to Vist their dad's studio in Tenn, them to texas to visit all of the Pantera and SRV landmarks, then Florida to visit the Dean HQ and go to bike week
Had the luck of seeing rhem live in the early 90s....they were opening for Judas Priest! After that, they made history. Check out the song Walk, that's kick ass too!!!!😊👍
I have bad claustrophobia but if I could have I would have been in the middle of 1.6 million crazy headbanging Russians.
People are still trying to leave that show!
1.6? If that was the performance at the Moscow airport they did with metallica, and for some reason acdc? It was 500,000. Still insane but not 1.6
1.6 million. Give your skull a little shake. Supposedly in the neighborhood of 4-500,000. A big big number to be sure, but not quite 1.6 mil....💩
Claustrophobic eh? Guess a 3-way is out then.....🤓
I’ve seen Pantera 5 times. Best story I have was at the Denver Colosseum. During The show they slowly unveiled these giant diamond plate letters spelling PANTERA. The last two songs the letters were shooting giant flames to the beat of the drums. Only to realize Kerry King and Jeff from Slayer walked out on stage and played Cowboys from Hell with them to close the set. It was insane.
Pantera had the best fans. Falling in the pit was always followed by a hand up.
I got to meet and get autographs from Dime , Vinnie, and Rex backstage in Seattle . Blessed I got to see them 4 times and they absolutely destroyed . Forever stronger than all.
Been to 21 Pantera concerts from 94-99 Nobody put on a show like Pantera. Cool side note (Phil is a huge boxing fan and if you look closely at the shirt he has on under his flannel you will notice he is wearing a Tyson vs Hollyfield shirt from the fight that never happened because Tyson was sent to prison.)
Very good eye! I grew up 10 miles away from the Abbott brothers and only saw them once in concert. I always thought that I would have forever to watch them as many times as I wanted. Never got to meet them either.
21 Pantera shows!!!!!! That’s way cool!
🤘
Yep, Phil loves boxing, New Orleans jazz, and the Smiths! And some metal too.
That fight happened dummy. He bit the ear but you know everything. Fail
WOW! is the most honest word ever for a Pantera concert. Saw them 3 times in Mexico city, unbelievable!
Great Pantera sounds Shedding Skin, Becoming, Yesterday Don't Mean Shit, Primal Concrete Sledge live Moscow same show as Domination, Hollow studio version, The Sleep, Floods, A New Level, Cowboys From Hell
Been to about 100 shows so far in my life. Pantera has still been the best show ever (either in 2000 or 2001 saw them in Orlando, FL) and still my favorite band hands down. RIP Dime and Vin.
YES YES YES....The Most Epic Breakdown in History
I saw Pantera supporting Megadeth in 1992 and I hadn't really heard of them or listened to much of their stuff then, but after the show, I became a fan. It was a phenomonal concert and I was lucky enough to meet Phil, Dimebag and Rex before the show and get autographs. I met the 2 Dave's and Marty from Megadeth and got their autographs as well. This was back when all you had to do was hang around the back of the concert hall to meet bands. I've still got my 'Far Beyond Driven' signed album cover as well!
Sadly I was about 6 years old when dimebag Darrel got shot on stage. But I’m glad my father made me listen to pantera before I could “walk”
I saw Pantera with White Zombie back in '96...best show I've ever been to by far. It's like in addition to sound they have raw energy blasting out of the speakers energizing the crowd. People moshing and headbanging the entire set...it's an insane but awesome experience that my words can't really describe.
I was lucky enough to see them one time at ozzfest in sacramento.
Dimebag is a legend that will never be duplicated. I was very unfortunate to see his last show 15 feet from the stage but by far the best concert I've ever seen was 6 months before that fateful night. Dime is a one of a kind! Get ya a pull!! 333
I saw pantera in "98, with faith no More in kansas City. Ran into a friend in the parking lot selling
pipes, he usually went to phish shows, but was at a Pantera show, to my surprise. That late in their careers, Pantera was still heavy as hell. Pretty sure it was 98 or 99.
You are aware what happend to Dimebag on stage with Damageplan right? Check it out if not- great post.
Craziest, best live performances EVER! Went to see them at Ozzfest '96 and they broke out 5 Minutes Alone. Absolute monster pit....kids, women, older folks,....all were throwing hands! I will never forget it!
hahahahahahah..... nice. Thanks for sharing!
Dime's windmill game was hella strong at this show, too.
I was very fortunate to have seen Pantera 3 times in my life. The very last time I saw them was at the Extreme Steel Tour with Pantera/Slayer/Static-X/Skrape/Morbid Angel at the Tacoma Dome back in 2001! Before Pantera and Slayer came on stage, fans would jump 10-15 feet from the bleachers to the floor and bum rush past security to get to the pit! Fans were obviously jacked and pitted it up like crazy, but even more so when Pantera played “I’ll Cast a Shadow!” The entire floor was one big gigantic pit, it was insane!! Still to this day, it’s hands down the best show I’ve ever seen!
Pantera fans 2019?
HELLO from KAZAKHSTAN 🇰🇿🤘
Im blessed to say that I've gotten to see pantera twice. It was amazing. Some of the best shows I've ever seen
Lucky dude.must've been awesome!
Epic!
Would like a reaction to something by Lamb of God or Gojira next 🎶
I like lamb of gods flow. They are like Pantera 2.0 UA-cam hates gojira though.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Naah, Gojira is somehow underrated by some people but most Reactions are very positive 😁 The Axe, Le'faunt Savage and not to mention Stranded 😎
Lamb of God, I've been a big fan since they Where "warm up band" for Metallica here in Norway back in 2009 or whatever.
Lamb of God for sure!
I got to see Pantera live in 2000 during the Reinvention the Steel tour. I remember being in my seat close to stage and looking back into the crowed out in the field and multiple bonfires going on with people moshing around them, and security running with fire extinguishers. One of the best concerts I've been to and never to be lived again except through memory. R.I.P Dime and Vinnie
Damn!!!! That's fuckn epic. Probably a bad day to be a security guard. I saw an interview where Phil was like " yea, there's always an ambulance at our shows" .
Maaaan...this is great workout music. That breakdown at the end is the best in ALL metal! 🤘🤘
It's pretty damn heavy but best in all of metal? Listen to the song contractor by Lamb of God that will blow your mind
@@70saintanger Heard it. Still doesnt hit me like Domination.
@@tigerclawthunderdome4823 fair enough my Metalhead brother!
I have seen Pantera over 50 times and have met them all. Pantera wasn't just a band it was a way of life.. we are the most savage fans you would ever come across. It's is a god damn shame the younger generations won't get to feel the energy these metal gods put out live. It can't be recreated. This band helped a lot of us thru the dark times. Bad day crank some pantera. Dimebag ranks up there as one of the best of all times. I wear pantera ink and will always be that diehard fan . Thank you for reacting to this. React to yesterday don't mean shit live from ozzfest . That was one of their last shows as a band last night of the tour. Strait raw energy!!!
Dude if you want to know, that was MONSTERS OF ROCK 91, and the people was 1,500,000
Fuckn A
The official number was 1 million but people are saying there was atleast 1.6 million people there not including the staff and bands
As a dude who's 23, I missed Pantera in their day. But I can certainly place the exact moment this came on at random on Metal Madness on VH1 Classic and changed my whole perspective on Pantera and heavy music as a whole. Without this video and Dime, I wouldn't be as involved with guitar and heavy music in general as I am
Primal concrete slegde. Moscow. Same show. Super awesome.
I was fortunate to see Pantera about a dozen times. And I had a blast at every one. Those were some of my best memories as a kid.
In Flames-System live at Hammersmith!!! Best live performance ever...
"Slaughtered"! My favourite Pantera song. I Highly recommend it.
Congratulations. You finally did it bruh 🤘🏿
Every black American should listen to Pantera...why ?
Because Pantera is Spanish for
"Panther".
God,I miss Dime & Vinnie ! 😥
These were magical times from 1990-96.
It was either 2Pac or Pantera in high school ?!
Even Pantera metalheads were listening to Pac.
But this Pantera movement was huge & their shows were unbelievably huge & amazing.
The whole crowd would mosh.
It was like a giant tornado of bodies & if you got knocked down.
There was always another brother there to pick you up !
PanterA- 5 minutes Alone
PanterA- Use My Third Arm
Literally any pantera song.
He came to rock
And rocked like no other
With the heart twice the size of Texas
Our beloved bother, mentor,
idol, companion and friend...
We love you Dime...
Until we meet again
Down - bury me in smoke
Thanks for reacting our favorite kick ass pantera. I like the way when u reacted about their performance towards how aggressive and heavy they are and that's how we see about them as fans
Dude, they’ve been around a long time. Check Metallica 91 Moscow Russia. 1.6 million fans! Biggest concert ever
Lol this is the same concert
