I don’t care what ANYONE says, 1980’s “Glam” era PANTERA would still tear the face off most these bands today. They just had so much talent and skill and just natural-born performers they had it all. The talent the skill, the showmanship!
All of them were nice guys in the neighborhood and school. Darrell and Vince were especially popular at Bowie H.S. Vince made the high school band cool. I'd love to see video of drum line at half time during football or basketball games 80-82. Darrell won all of the talent shows.
I saw them during these days. They rocked HARD! Darrell was being called Diamond back then, instead of Dimebag. The evolution of an icon right here folks!!
I couldn't tell you how many times I partied with them in that era. Nice guys too especially Diamond Darrell. I still have a pick he gave me one night. this is an ad from back then. >>> scontent-dft4-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18425494_1689368304423781_5252602218722531454_n.jpg?oh=4afabbd464b78f11c7053765e9ae4bfb&oe=59AD9C97
He was still calling Diamond in the early days of the Cowboys era. It's even on the album credits. I remember when people started calling him "Dimebag" & I would try to correct them! Haha
I used to go to the club and see this once a month. And yur boy Phil was in Razor White and they came about once a month too. Madam x came once. I remember a band called 3D came a couple times. Sometimes Pantera was twice a month.
never saw pantera with phil. saw these guys at six flags twice. lol. a small club in arlington and maybe a few more times here and there. the childhood of this band was simply put, amazing. Dime was this band. RIP DIME
0:00 All over Tonight. 3:41 Like Fire. 7:51 Dime`s solo 15:00 Over the hills and far away (Led Zeppelin cover). 16:38 Eruption (Van Halen cover). 18:55 Out for Blood. 22:21 Heavy Metal Rules! 27:25 Widow maker.
Even at this early stage, Darrell's shredding was clearly what nudged them past a lot of other acts of the same period. Vinnie also sounds very tight here.
The mvp goes to whoever filmed this for capturing Diamond Darrell during his key moments. They must have known that Dime was making a name for himself at a young age and decided to film him at a show.
I miss these days as much as Dime did... I think. Watching Pantera with 15 other people was the highlight of my existence. That and the CFH video shoot. Edit: Terry I miss you too. This the Pantera I first saw and love. They never disappointed. I'm so grateful that the rest of the world got to see them as well.
There was always a positive buzz around those guys in high school. I remember them at Bowie selling tickets to a show at the YMCA (I think). They were all good guys.
Starting at 9:45 this is a cover of Quiet Riot's Battle Axe, and a very clean one at that! Very impressive playing from the one and only Dimebag Darryl
Holy Shit they were amazing as a Glam band! That's coming for both a Glam and Thrash fan! I wonder what would happened in an alternate universe where they got a major label deal in the 80s
Yeah, really. Would've been great if they had got a major label back then already. I was really let down when Terry left and they went thrash and the Pantera glam metal days were over... but then glam metal died out soon thereafter anyway, and well, that was 33 years ago and that's not my thing anymore anyway. But nice to find the memories here on UA-cam.
@@Xianne027they never went thrash, they are groove metal, and no, them making their own unique genre is so much better than being another glam band like everyone else, also they would’ve fell off hard once glam died and never would’ve amounted to much, regardless of dimes playing
Pantera in their glam rock days-before they had Phil Anselmo and went heavier,sound was more like Ratt and Dokken but you can hear the real beginnings of Dimebag's solo sound and style that influenced a hell of a lot of bands and is still a force to be reckoned with,,Sadly missed.
The way his cover of eruption is so accurate. Back then one had to listen to the record over and over to learn a song.. Lucky if you got to watch the live concert. Shows how dedicated he was. Now every kid with one year of guitar experience learns how to play eruption thanks to tabs and yt.
Dimes version of eruption is not accurate to what ed originally did, there’s a lot of parts and licks he glossed over and simplified. Personally i like dime’s interpretation, he did his own thing with it and still had the evh vibe/flair going
hell yeah. I grew up with CDs and tapes, but that was still a pain in the ass. skipping back over and over again and trying to hear what the guitar was doing in the mix. Nowadays, I can use AI to isolate a track, slow it down, change the pitch, isolate L & R channels. we've come a long way
I don't think there are many guitarist out there now that can play as smoothly and with that kind of passion Dime did here at only 18yrs old.the greatest n not just talking metal guitarist ever.R.IP DIME miss and love you brother
Yeah honestly they play way better than like every other glam band, it's no wonder they became a thrash and eventually groove metal band. Pantera was just always awesome.
They never were glam . Just because they had big hair and tights pants , uncultured people retro actively the label on anything where a shitloads of bands were dressed like this or worse ( Loudness ...Overkill in 1982 ...) . Pantera was , even in metal forces and stuff described as Heavy metal and ...Power metal a bit later . They were at that crossover of Van halen , Def leppard , Priest , Raven etc... if you listen closely it have already a bit Thrashier edge in the Metal magic song and taking root already on Project in the jungle ( title track , Out for flood , Killers ..) and it got updated as albums were released . I am the night then Phil came out then Power metal was released , evolution was made , but Phil harder edge. Made Everything more hard edged . Thats the biggest change . No that much the music if we take it down
@@Nissardpertugiuyep and you basically had to dress like that or those record labels would ignore you, once they got a following they instantly went to plain clothes because they had the opportunity
Even when Pantera was a "Hair Metal" band, they still had an edge to their sound. Vinnie Paul and Dime sounded like Vinnie Paul and Dime! All it took was that madman from NOLA to create the legend!
@@Nissardpertugiu listen to Metal Magic and tell me that’s not a hair metal album. Nothing On But The Radio, Latest Lover, Tell Me If You Want It, Sad Lover. These are not heavy metal songs dude

Man , What planet you live on and I wonder if you did your fucking homework from the late 60's , through the 70's and early 80's to claim such bullshits .
@hellspawnvicious9990 they evolved even back then. The differences between Metal Magic. Projects in the Jungle and I Am The Night are very noticeable. Especially I Am The Night...really geared more towards metal than the first two.
I hear all of those early influences. KISS, Van Halen, Priest & Leppard all have great representation but they also have their own sound mixed in. It's weird to watch this & know that I was buying the albums out at the time. Those first 4 albums changed my life.
EVEN IF… PANTERA never changed their sound from being a “glam” band or power metal “hair” band… they WOULD STILL BE IN THE TALKS OF ONE THE GREATEST BANDS / MUSICAL TALENTS OF ALL TIME, just in a DIFFERENT Genre of metal / music. There was no stopping these guys from achieving greatness!!!
Glam pantera were sick. I used to hate glam, got into motley crue a year or so ago, now hearing glam might be making a comeback, hope so, hopefully with nasty guitar riffs and solos like this legend
It will never make a comeback lmao, maybe drag queen story hour rock with children but rock is dead, the industry has already made it clear they only care about rap and pop
No because the music wasnt glam. But heavier , more speed , more virtuoso They were already getting heavier at each record and that was the reason they didnt have a mahor deal until 1989 They had big hair , but much heavier than what the major by mimetism then wanted .
Darrell and Vinnie wanted a heavier sound and thats why phil came about.... some label might have told them to play love songs but they wouldn't have done it... what happened happened and Pantera turned into what it became....
I saw them in 86 in Houston TX they opened up for Helstar and Anthrax. I never heard of them then . And they were still like this , glam . Lol ! Dime was shredding ! This vocalist here sounds like Mark Slaughter. Lol !
He is! He went on to front a band called Lord Tracy that had one minor hit. A very party oriented band and not as heavy as even early Pantera, but I liked it. Since then I don't know where he's at. Search him or Lord Tracy here on UA-cam
That's Terry Glaze. Yeah, I loved his scream! Awesome! And that karate kick. 👍 He was about 19 there. As far as I know he moved up to the north east somewhere and is still making music. A few years back I saw a link to his channel.
9:10 hahaha first few notes sound just like the start of one of the cemetery gates solos, you can see how Dimebag tought out these solos even years before he made them
Dont know if anyone is reading this in the year 3024 but these guys in 1984 were smart they were following the highest $ trend glam metal. when that flat lined they said fuck it lets be us!
Like the Texas answer to Ratt, with some of the speed metal of Obsession or Savage Grace thrown in. Solid band, even before their groove sound that made them famous!
That has to be the Dean ML Dimes Dad bought him Cherry burst. He sold the Dean ML he won in the shredding contest. He sold for an old $500 Camaro. But he wound up getting it back painted with the lightning bolts Iater on.
dont get me wrong, i love pantera, but i am very very very happy they took things a bit more serious with the release of cowboys from hell and onwards... wow pantera did alter my life in a way
Even in the 90's after they got their first album deal they came back and played 2 occasions at the Sandpiper Lounge /Goochies stripclub. Went to a party at the same persons house both times and at about 4 in the morning its just me and Dime the last 2 survivors. It wasnt so strange the first time. But I let him know how ironic it was the second time cause it was just me and him like last time he was here, the only 2 troopers survivin. Then in 2003 I worked ozzfest in Dallas. Dime and vinnie were backstage but dime wouldnt even converse. Vinnie talked to me when I told him where and what clubs he didnt know me personally but knew my territory well. Needless to say when I told vinn8e about my buddys bad dream and for them to NOT GO PLAY ANY CLUBS I guess he just didnt remember.
Dimebag Darrell, what a guitarist !! A think about Randy Rhoads, close legacy, and the cover of Revelation Mother Earth final solo in Dime'solo is not there by chance.
If they ever had the chance or played like this 1 live show in Los Angeles, they would have got signed in less than a week and become the monsters of Glam metal as rumours would ve spread "Like fire"! Living in Texas was detrimental for them coz it was like living 5 countries away from California so the Glam fame never took off..
Damn if that isn't randy Rhoades tone. Solid state became his thing , and it worked for Pantera but this is awesome hearing what he did with real amps..
I was taking lessons from dimebag right before this album came out. He stop teaching right after . True Shredder.
thats a cool story bro, youre lucky man:)
Yeah man you're lucky to get lessons from Dime, true legend.
So lucky, nice one bro \,,/

I don't remember what guitar competition it was, but Darrell won it so many years consecutively, they had to just ask him to stop entering lol
Diamond Darrell leaving the 80’s greats in the dust at 18.

Every HM band should have a drummer like Pantera's...
unknown ballad is Over the hills and far away by led zeppelin
and part of 10 years gone at the end
If they ever had the chance or played like this 1 live show in Los Angeles, they would have got signed in less than a week and become the monsters of Glam metal as rumours would ve spread "Like fire"!
Living in Texas was detrimental for them coz it was like living 5 countries away from California so the Glam fame never took off..
fortunatelly for us:))
And now people are flooding into Texas from LA to escape the hellhole of liberal policies
Época que o Pantera era gatinho 😀
Good quality
Throwing Rhoads in your guitar solo, homage to the King!
Oh shit,. Vinnie has Electronic drums!
jajajajaj
Yeah he used them on a few of their albums at the time
I really like early Pantera, I think
it wasn't bad time for band.
The glam stuff is cool but by not being popular they haven't died in the 80s like other glam bands am glad they changed their style
They didnt changed their style
They elvolved logically .
And they were heavy metal , not Glam band .
Not like the hair metal vibe but Darrel work is insane, even better than the 90's
Best band ever to be born!
Damn if that isn't randy Rhoades tone. Solid state became his thing , and it worked for Pantera but this is awesome hearing what he did with real amps..
Like Savatage
Starts playing revelation mother earth's solo, the cheeky bastard 🤣 RIP Dime, you legend
All the RR riffs were awesome..
