10 AWESOME PANTERA RIFFS

[@speaknoworforeverhol]

We all know that ola has chased dimes tone for years and I think he did a pretty damn good job at nailing that in. The drumming is so close to vinnies swinging careless but thoughtful grooves

[@hate123321]

That must be the closest I've heard people come to achiving the Pantera sound.

If they had the guy who sang in the sign of the southern cross they would almost literally be pantera

[@Synthedelic]

Motördeth too bad that band isn’t still around I really liked them and the album they were gonna drop sounded like it was gonna be really good.

[@starrmary4093]

This is probably the closest tone I've ever heard to Dimes. Well done

[@ArttuAunola]

Your tone on "I'm Broken" and Delta's drumming on "Slaughtered" are insanely spot on, love this one!!

[@koffieverslaafde627]

Man.. Slaughtered really shows you how much Vinnie had to do with the groove of Pantera. Mad drummer and awesome chemistry with Dime.

[@coledoucette5116]

The great southern trendkill really showcases his groove, he does his shit all album long

[@seakermac5800]

The more I listen to Pantera the more I catch little moments like that. In the song Piss, Vinnie really changes the whole feel while Dime plays the chorus riff just abt the same. It has a really cool effect on the feel of the song. That and no one seems to get the drumming quite right on Becoming. They get close but always a little off. That and 13 Steps have the sickest drum intros

[@n1codabosh878]

i think is chemistry with the bassist

[@flekkzo]

I feel that Pantera was the pinnacle of Metal as a broad genre. It’s hard to describe, but they hit a sweet spot at the top of the curve.

[@gingerjam2192]

I agree. Plus at that time they were the tightest band out there. Today it’s Gojira (which I love) and Meshuggah (which I don’t).

[@brucecharlie8613]

No sir Slipknot but they are a close second

[@jeremyrafuse5330]

It's because everybody was incredible with their instrument. Dime and Vinnie are a given, but Rex's bass was fucking killer too. Add Phil's vocals on top of all that and this is really the greatest metal band ever.

You really do actually have the feel that everyone who ever tries to play dime stuff can't quantify in their playing. This is awesome. You would totally do him justice in a tribute/cover setting.

[@ugur7227]

Yeah up to now I've never seen someone nail the main riff for "Cemetery Gates" like how Dimebag did it

THAT TONE Edit: This is a great way to introduce the younger audience to some great Dime stuff.

[@joshkidd1146]

That’s awesome you didn’t just pick “the hits,” you did some riffs that people might not be as familiar with who are casual Pantera fans! I love all those riffs, nice pick on suicide note pt. 2, that’s such a sick riff!! 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻

[@Bking7string]

Agreed, in my top 3 favorite tracks of theirs! Every time I put far beyond driven on, I always start it off with SLAUGHTERED!!!

[@TheMDbauS]

Slaughtered is a pretty well know song, but most people forget about the part they played and only focus on the main riffs. The double paradiddle groove with Dimebag's evil sounding syncopation is Dime and Vinnie Magic at it's finest.

[@timbebert]

Love the cover Havok did of this one 😍

[@kennyroupe7198]

My favorite Pantera riff is from “By Demons Be Driven”, both the intro and verse.

[@ESPSJ]

I agree, that's got to be one of Dime's best riffs he wrote, it often gets overlooked though for some reason.

[@russellzauner]

Pantera is riff stack after riff stack. To play one Pantera riff thoroughly is to risk committing to the whole song. What we need is Pantera cover channel. BDBD is nearly my favorite Pantera song, but then again so is Regular People, and honestly every single track off the first 4 albums.

Man, that was just killer good. I remember the day in grade six when I walked home from the Zellers store with Far Beyond Driven. My first metal album. That opening song on my parents large ass Pioneer sound system & the expression of my older brothers face was priceless. He was into John Denver & Bon Jovi. Dad was Elvis. I needed something for ME. "Im helping to leaglize drugs on your prestine streets, Im making a fortune"😂 I was a protected kid that only new the dangers of bears in the bush. Later on in life, I hitch hiked from near Alaska down to Vancouver to see them. Slept in some gazeebo, washed at the YMCA. People were jumping from behind me in the seats & smashing their face on the hockey boards. Shit got real, really fast. Now Im a stage hand in Finland. No more hitch hiking for shows.

Hi Ola! I’m a guitarist from Norway. Not famous 😊. I have been following your youtube channel for quite some time. I think your playing is kick ass, and you are fun, entertaining and dedicated. Keep up the good work. One thing I have to say is: I also love Pantera. YOU should be the guitar player for the Pantera reunion/tribute. Not Zakk Wylde. I got nothing against him, I just think you nail the songs allot better. You got the sound and the feel of Dimebag. That is my opinion anyway. Just had to say in case there is a chance of you getting involved in that. Have a great day man, and thanks for all the great content on KZbin 😉.
