The Badge never came out except for Japanese versions...it's a Punk cover by a band called Poison Idea.

When this album was released it shot to the top of the Billboard charts and stayed at #1 for a week. That means every Pantera fan in America went out and bought that album immediately, because they did it with absolutely no radio play, just the most solid fan-base any band could ask for. \,,/

[@Sheisthedevilyouknowwho-ft9we]

I was one of 'em bro.🤘 19 when it came out. Luckily the station in Lincoln NE had the balls to play "Hollow" a lot, then "Walk", but you're right, they were not mainstream like Britney spears, lady gaga, or Taylor Swift, and we dropped our $ 14.99 on the counter & took it to number 1. I love the interview where Terry Date says : When the band got together with me to do the album, they kept repeating, it's got to be heavier than Vulgar Display of Power. (He gives a long pause and says) And I'm thinking how the hell are we gonna do that? 😁 Well, they did it

Bro as an avid listener of Pantera since fuckin birth and random person stumbling across this video, I love to see the love this band is getting in the comments here. The only words I can ever describe this god given talented band is that, they are the standered for breakdowns. Thrones of rejection is a crazy breakdown and then just floating so nicely into Planet Caravan, one of the greatest 1,2 Song punch ever. Thank yew all for the love for this amazing band 🫡

Pantera breakdowns and builds are fucking legendary. Metal soothes me unless I'm already pissed then it can drive a rage. I can feel you my man

[@butchvito]

Far Beyond Driven debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 in 1994. The heaviest album, to this day, to debut at #1. They beat Bonnie Raitt and knocked Ace of Base down to #3. All without radio or very little MTV play. That is a diehard fanbase.

[@leftinashes]

The Badge was added to FBD when the album re-released as Deluxe Edition. It was originally released for The Crow soundtrack. The samples used in the beginning and end of the song were from the movie Taxi Driver.

It's hard to admit to or talk about, but this aggression and this emotional outpouring that came with Far Beyond Driven. It made me take a real look at my childhood shit. That disgusting shit that happened to me. An injection of aggression didn't help me deal, but it helped me keep rolling. I appreciate you being real. And I love the whole album reaction.

@@brandondickie3456 I didn't like far beyond driven or the great southern trend kill as a kid. Now they are my 2 favorites. Trend kill specifically because of floods. That song is too good.

[@brandondickie3456]

@@ogClownBaby Yeah they’re awesome. I think they’re all kinda equally great tbh, I think now, my two main ones are VDOP and FBD, on vulgar I love the ‘accessibility’ of Dime’s guitar, the production quality is insane on that album and it’s like he combined his crazy soloing on cowboys from hell with their harder and heavier sound, it’s like a masterfully done bridge between cfh and fbd, I think far beyond driven was when they got a lot more heavy and serious with the actual themes, Phil’s pain started to get to him and you can hear it all over the album, it has a dark atmosphere to it as if it’s foreshadowing something bad, and two years later in 96 the music world finally saw what was foreshadowed. I think far beyond driven is the album where they went as dark and extreme as possible, while still maintaining their unity and stability, it’s like a nuclear reactor running perfectly and completely stable, then gstk is what happens when that nuclear reactor explodes.
