When I was 13 (around 2003) I was obsessed with pre Cowboys Pantera and wanted my band to cover this song. So we learned it but there were no lyrics available anywhere (this stuff was still v obscure back then) - I mailed Terry through his band's site asking if he had the lyrics he could send me. He replied and said he didn't but that he would sit down and listen to it and try to remember them. About an hour later I got another mail with the full lyrics. True story! Really nice guy.
@@travisreifke4356 What's lame about it? It's just another genre of metal/rock, and some of those "glam" metal bands had guitarists that could play circles around Dime, you're probably just saying it's lame because that's what everyone else said. I used to think it was lame because when I was a retarded 14 year old I saw a video of Dave Mustaine making fun of it in the 80's, but when I finally actually listened to it and formed my own opinion instead of copying the opinion of others, it turned out it absolutely ruled. W.A.S.P., Dokken, Ratt, Cinderella, Britny Fox, Shy, and loads more, they're all great.
Mr. Brenman21 Ok....I thought I was allowed to like whatever music I wanted to. I don't recall asking for your opinion. I could care less what you listen to...I'm not you, and you're not me. It's not that hard to grasp.
I think the market was a bit saturated. But yes, they were great, no reason why they shouldn't be more successful compared to the bands that made it big
They came to our club once a month sometimes twice if another band canceled. I spent quite a few times with Daryl throughout their career. I turned him on to the xl-500 and chastized him into a floyd over kahler. But this back in like 83-84
I am the same age as Dime is in this video. I have been practicing guitar very hard every day for 7 years and Dime at the same age fucking blows me out of the water. You really don't know how good of a player he is until you try the same thing. It's fucking ridiculous how amazing he was at guitar.
Im same age as him in this video now. Been playing guitar for two and half years and he really is fucking awesome. I got Dean ml 79 trans brazil and I gotta say It's fucking decent guitar to play. I can't play any solos from pantera but I can play four horsemens both solos which I think is still something.
@@redrocket9861 Yep. When he first got his guitar he would pose in front of the mirror like Ace Frehley until I think it was Vinnie who said why don't you learn how to play that thing? Learn he did.

when i first found out about the pre Cowboys From Hell albums i was like what the fuck.....after getting my hands on all four albums i was DAMN this shit is awesome
god me too power metal and cowboys from hell are my favourite I only have their more heavy albums though its ashame pantera wont get together and reissue these albums and put them on shelves in stores and on the internet
I agree, except Project in the Jungle is my favorite glam album of theirs. You don't really hear too many blistering solos like this one, once they were repackaged and Cowboys from Hell came out. I feel like 9/10's of Dime's best solos came from 80's Pantera.
RIIIIIIIGHT?!! I kept waiting for someone to say it. Ho-ly-crap. You posted that a decade ago. I didn't even know UA-cam had been ar... whoa, I guess I did. Oof.
I got most of the pre CFH albums and damn Dime Rips in the majority of the solos, its like he was hiolding back slightly from Cowboys nd onwards. he's amaing
They might not have been doing anything especially original, but this video proves that Pantera was always an awesome band. Yeah, this sort of rock went out of fashion, but that doesn't make the music bad.
Considering the agent - orange glam pollution of the time I'm amazed PanterA wasn't a mainstream success. This sounds just like every other glam band of the time. It's fantastic to realize that the Abbot bros never changed their playing style, they just put more muscle on it and made it aggressive without altering their sound.
To be fair.. as much as Dimebag kicks ass CC Deville was quite a player in his own right... just a shame he was never sober enough for two minutes to play any of the epic Poison solos haha! ... some off of Look What the Cat Dragged In are fantastic! ... I recommend everyone checks out No1 Bad Boys solo... it kicks ass :D ... the most watered down glam band was probably Europe (tragic as they were once NWOBHM) or Bon Jovi :)
Yeah Man, did you ever belive this? ususahsuhasuh Dime was the greatest Guitarrist since the begins! Long Live To PanterA, and Long Live From Dime In Heaven R.I.P.
even in glam...they showed how great as musos they are and were(r.i.p Dime). endless guitar talent.!!! id still listen to this anytime!!! keep your leppard and poison and bon jovi!!! give me glamtera
I edited this for them. It was shot at the Bronco Bowl concert in 1987 (I think that was the year?) Terry Lee's dad wouldn't let him sign their new record contract so he left and started a band called "Tracey Lords" (Deaf Gods of Babylon) which got sued for using that name. And Pantera began the auditions for a new singer...
To tell all of you... these were personal friends of mine and you should know that Terry and the rest of the band wouldnt change these days for anything.. Its his voice that got them started along with Dime's playing... so stop bashing and remember this is what lead to Pantera's fame... nuff said.
any CD copy of the first three albums are a bootleg. do not pay anymore than $10! Power Metal is the only official early Pantera CD release. and you gotta be careful on those boots as well.
Back when this was originally uploaded, there was a 50MB max file size upload. Otherwise it would look much better! I just need to get a new video capture device, or find the original uncompressed to hell video (If I can find the HDD that has it)
I remember the file size limit, that makes sense! I have a VHS to DVD converter device, I'd just have to record it to a DVD then dump the .vob files and I'd have a big 1GB or so version of it haha. It also has the video for "Temptation's Wings" by Down right before it! black and white I think
I think I did a .VOB for the Crowbar - Like Broken Glass video on my channel haha, but now there's AVC and stuff to convert it down to that should still look nice. I'd love to see some of the 1987-1989 Pantera gigs in full quality I was happy back in the day to see "Hard Ride" live
i find it incredible that pantera never made it bigger as a hair band.. they did it better than ANY of the other big names did, rocked out way harder, dime ripped the guitar better than any of the other hair metal legends, yea including George Lynch... whatever type of metal they were playing they did it better than anybody else could.
I tried to look for the 80’s albums of Pantera on Apple Music but unfortunately I could not find them but Pantera is a great thrash metal band no matter what 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Unfortunately they’re all on vinyl and pirated CD. And I’m sure you could find a random cassette. The fourth album was on CD but most copies will most likely be pirated as well.
This is exactly what I needed to hear!!! :D I love Pantera!!!! It was so nice to hear some early stuff. That break by Dime smashed some ass!!! lol, Awesome riffage!!! You could tell the boy was a heartfelt supernova.............Love you Dime! Thank you for everything I couldn't begin to put in words. You changed my life and I'm better for having known you.
Exactly. You can feel a lot of the bluesy NWOBHM influence in Darrell's playing during this time. Def Leppard used to rock with the best of 'em too, sad what they've turned into now.

I’d love to hear or see a cover of old-school Pantera
Terry always seems so nice in interviews. He always talks about how happy he was to see the others find success with their heavier sound.
@@webofhairKayla Kent does some ‘80s Pantera on her channel
We need the first 4 albums re-released.
agree 100%!
one year and a pandemic later, we STILL need that re-release lol
@@seanlincoln7923 Also since we have the 5 main albums in their discography re-released now
Never gonna happen.
Go to rollin recs.
I talked a lot of shit on Pantera's glam days when I was an edgy high school teenager but... this is pretty good
wow you suck for talking shit about this band maybe you regained some brain cells that was stolen by whiskey lol
It's like glam and Judas Priest.
Darrell is a maestro on guitar
2:26 The Art of Shredding
I don't care if its glam metal. Pantera was always badass! Dime's guitar riffs will make you bang your head no matter what you call it. 🤘🏻
@@rockontheline6007 It's lame. But, this glam metal is good.

@@travisreifke4356 It rules and music became dogshit when it lost popularity. I love melody. You hate it obviously
@@travisreifke4356 Metal is metal. In the 80's bands wanted to get laid.

I don’t know how Pantera didn’t hit big much sooner. This song is killer and it completely fits the sound of what was going on at the time.
I think the market was a bit saturated. But yes, they were great, no reason why they shouldn't be more successful compared to the bands that made it big
They came to our club once a month sometimes twice if another band canceled. I spent quite a few times with Daryl throughout their career. I turned him on to the xl-500 and chastized him into a floyd over kahler. But this back in like 83-84
because they were in Texas and not Los Angeles or New York
That was a fundamental factor. If they relocated to the Sunset Strip, their career trajectory would've been much different.
Because Vinnie had a beard (sarcasm)
I am the same age as Dime is in this video. I have been practicing guitar very hard every day for 7 years and Dime at the same age fucking blows me out of the water. You really don't know how good of a player he is until you try the same thing. It's fucking ridiculous how amazing he was at guitar.

It took dime 3 months to learn guitar something to think about
@@redrocket9861 Yep. When he first got his guitar he would pose in front of the mirror like Ace Frehley until I think it was Vinnie who said why don't you learn how to play that thing? Learn he did.
wow. his guitar solo gave me the chills
All those early Glamtera solos are absolutely blazingly epic!
Totally sounds like Def Leppard's million dollar sound....this is AMAZING!!!
but faster
What do you mean?
I could never hear the comparison with Leppard. So many other have.
As much as James Hetfield hated glam, he still had spandex in the early early days.

@@xanderdove1967 said no one over.
@@xanderdove1967 I love motley crue...... they are not talented. they are showmen. anyone could of made those awesome songs.
dime's so fast he changed guitar in the middle of his solo
when i first found out about the pre Cowboys From Hell albums i was like what the fuck.....after getting my hands on all four albums i was DAMN this shit is awesome
best Def Leppard song ever! ;-)
fuck off...
I thought it was Dokken
Jaja it sounds like an unreleased late 70s leppard ep song ...but its awesome!
@Bullet my "fuck off" was meant to imply the truth hurt's......lol
🤣👊 (dl never wet dreamed a song this good;)
I love their early 3 glam albums. And Power Metal is my favorite Pantera album. Highly underrated (and highly unknown)
god me too power metal and cowboys from hell are my favourite I only have their more heavy albums though its ashame pantera wont get together and reissue these albums and put them on shelves in stores and on the internet

Rick Rock I do love their first 3 albums mate
U guys should know that, as much as vinnie, diamond and Terry are amazing in this song, it's rex's groovy baseline that makes this song a killer
RIIIIIIIGHT?!!
I kept waiting for someone to say it.

here they sound like def leppard high and dry album ...cool
said....... hmmm everyone in the comments. do we care?? no......
Agreed but with better solos
They might not have been doing anything especially original, but this video proves that Pantera was always an awesome band. Yeah, this sort of rock went out of fashion, but that doesn't make the music bad.

Love Glam Pantera!
After hearing everything from CFH to everything later, this is my first time listening to Glamtera and I am not disappointed haha.
Love Rex's bass line during the opening riff
This is gold!
Still think so? Hope so!
I love diss early vintage PANTERA RULES 4EVER LEGENDS !
RIP DIME AND VINNIE PAUL ABBOTT !
That riff, that voice,that solo..... so insaaaaaane!!!
PANTERA RULES because of Dime!
They put a phaser or something on the drum mics and I love every second of it.
Look close they are electric drums
I wish they had made it big in the 80's so we could have heard more of this.
I love glam when done right like this and not watered down like Poison
GrayWoIf same here mate rock on
GrayWoIf love poison but totally agree
To be fair.. as much as Dimebag kicks ass CC Deville was quite a player in his own right... just a shame he was never sober enough for two minutes to play any of the epic Poison solos haha! ... some off of Look What the Cat Dragged In are fantastic! ...

@@peterwerninck9529 YAA bon jovi for suuuure.
Are you serius??? Poison, Bon Jovi and early Pantera did an amazing work for the Glam Metal scene
Love the red charvel, maximum 80s!!
best Pantera era. FACT.
i love 80s glam/heavy metal simple but powerful,today's metal sucks
rock on dude
i love 80s metal too but saying todays metal sucks is very closeminded, theres still lots of great stuff out there
yup. mainstream anyway. still lots of guys gettin er done like this but they eat canned pasta.
@@secretsecretsson7629 Nothin that I’ve found
As a guitarist, I could not say it is simple. Sometimes it is deadly hard)))
Damn I miss the 80's...so many good bands came out in this era
RIP Vinny
This sounds like early Def Leppard ❤
Maaaan the 80s was fucking awesome, i wish i was born earlierrr!!
yup , you missed it .
Steel Panther should cover this \

WHY IS THIS SO GOOOD
back when pantera were metal!
Los primeros cuatro discos de PANTERA para mi son lo mejor glam, Hard Rock, heavy metal y virtusismo musical por todo lo alto
Yeah Man, did you ever belive this? ususahsuhasuh
Dime was the greatest Guitarrist since the begins!
Long Live To PanterA, and Long Live From Dime In Heaven
R.I.P.
PANTERA RULES because of Dime.
DAMN... that solo most be one of Pantera's greatests ever!!!!!!
We will meet again is right up there with one of his coolest solo's
This has a noticeably darker and deeper sound than all the other glam going down at that time.
Tarry glaze DayZ of Pantera 😎 cool man
you got that right.this proves that pantera were good songwriters no matter what.the best is the best and left at that.
even in glam...they showed how great as musos they are and were(r.i.p Dime). endless guitar talent.!!! id still listen to this anytime!!! keep your leppard and poison and bon jovi!!! give me glamtera
My favourite Pantera era ever! Def Lepard on steroids
Love this Pantera much better !!!!!
this is quite good, catchy, typical eighties
i'm a thrasher, but i like this side of pantera as well as their groove metal work
Dimabeg and Vinnie are perfectly connected!!!
Literally the only song from them I like
The most underrated pantera song
Los primeros cuatro albunes de Pantera 👹 fueron sin lugar a dudas su mejor performance y la época dorada del heavy metal de los 80 ❤
Pantera is the trunk of the tree that is thrash, speed, virtuosic metal.
Great stuff!
The talent was there at a young age.
wtf eversince dime solo is legendary, he was born for playing guitar
I edited this for them. It was shot at the Bronco Bowl concert in 1987 (I think that was the year?)
Terry Lee's dad wouldn't let him sign their new record contract so he left and started a band called "Tracey Lords" (Deaf Gods of Babylon) which got sued for using that name.
And Pantera began the auditions for a new singer...
Any Pantera is good Pantera. RIP Dime
Heartbeat Away off this album also KICKS ASS!
what album was this?
+Starchild 'Projects in the Jungle'
"Projects in the Jungle," produced by Darrell and Vinnie's dad at his studio in Pantego, Texas.
Classic Pantera
rockin in the 80s!!! oh hell yea!! great days they were
They would have gone the way of all the 80s rock bands if they didn't change.
Simply Amazing! Love your Guitar playin Dime! :)
You will always be my idol
I'm loving this...
best pantera album
saw/hung with these guys often during this era while stationed at ft. hood tx. damn good times.
Love that red Z28 at the beginning. I always was partial to that bodystyle and year of Camaro.
To tell all of you... these were personal friends of mine and you should know that Terry and the rest of the band wouldnt change these days for anything.. Its his voice that got them started along with Dime's playing... so stop bashing and remember this is what lead to Pantera's fame... nuff said.
And well said. 👍
I was always there on the front row in those days...
The solo is amazing
I love them!!
PanterA FUCKIG RULES.
in all eras.
My god, that snare effect...
any CD copy of the first three albums are a bootleg. do not pay anymore than $10! Power Metal is the only official early Pantera CD release. and you gotta be careful on those boots as well.
Pantera rediscovered -totally insane heavy metal!!!
I have the original VHS copy of this video haha, one day I'll upload this looks like trash

THIS WAS THE BEST PANTERA!!!!!
❤I love this! I didn't know I liked Pantera until I heard 80's Pantera 😊
i find it incredible that pantera never made it bigger as a hair band.. they did it better than ANY of the other big names did, rocked out way harder, dime ripped the guitar better than any of the other hair metal legends, yea including George Lynch... whatever type of metal they were playing they did it better than anybody else could.
This phase wasn't that long about 5 years maybe?
😂 finally found this song after 40 long years of trying 🤘😆🤘 would never have thought it was early pantera.
I think it’s Terry’s favorite
As someone that was there during this time period, seeing Dime play a strat does not compute.
Ive always said This version of Pantera would have dominated the 80s hairbands !!
super glam/thrash, muy bueno!!!!
the way dimebag moves while playing a solo is fuckin epic, puts chills down my spin
I tried to look for the 80’s albums of Pantera on Apple Music but unfortunately I could not find them but Pantera is a great thrash metal band no matter what 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Unfortunately they’re all on vinyl and pirated CD. And I’m sure you could find a random cassette. The fourth album was on CD but most copies will most likely be pirated as well.
I’m a cd guy I could get them all on cd
Pantera at Joe's Garage!!! Oh that brings back the memories! I was probably there when that was filmed... I was always there.
Oh man .... to go back
2:52 what in gods name is that thing in dimebags hands!?
They need to put out a Diamond Darrell greatest hits comp. This is good playing.
Van Halen was a great templet for the Brothers to follow. You can see and hear it so much here!!
Its still hard for me to believe that this was pantera before cowboys. . . Really wish I'd have been born in the 60s and seen em from these early days
This is exactly what I needed to hear!!! :D I love Pantera!!!! It was so nice to hear some early stuff. That break by Dime smashed some ass!!! lol, Awesome riffage!!! You could tell the boy was a heartfelt supernova.............Love you Dime! Thank you for everything I couldn't begin to put in words. You changed my life and I'm better for having known you.
Love the Z28 at the beginning, that car brings back memories!
I don't have a problem with this sounding Def Leppard-ish because at least it sounds like On through the Night/High N Dry-era Leppard.
Exactly. You can feel a lot of the bluesy NWOBHM influence in Darrell's playing during this time. Def Leppard used to rock with the best of 'em too, sad what they've turned into now.
Dimebag was a fan of Pete Willis believe it or not
Your generation doesn't get it: That was just the style in those days. Everything sounded like that. Not just Def Leppard.
yea the vocals ..i agree
has a playlist of early Pantera; I liked their early days Best
love the solo
Blows away any of the shit they did in the 90s and 00s
Yeah dumbfuck
k butt rock master
Flamboyant as hell
lol i love the guitar changing
