First Time Reaction | Pantera - "Domination"

[@SkylerFallow]

The breakdown in Domination is, imo, perhaps the greatest breakdown of all time. It set the bar for metal for decades to come, and while there are some filthy breaks coming out in modern metal, nothing quite compares to the pounding simplicity of Dime's riff at the end of Domination. It's a thing of beauty. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jaquestraw1]

Not perhaps

[@fubar1217]

Masters of the break down. Hands down.

[@AndrewJShirley]

Fucking facts, one of the most destructive and vicious breakdowns in existance.

[@seandan7873]

true Domination

[@traceyrychewhite1874]

I agree!

[@Nightbreed82]

The murder of Dimebag truly shook me. Poor Vinnie saw his brother shot to death and had to live with that for over a decade. RIP Abbott Brothers.

[@samhandwich4095]

Hard to believe how many people were killed before that POS Nathan Gale was finally brought down. Sad day for metal and music in general!

[@rexrocker1268]

It’s ridiculous. What 4 folks not including the killer died that night? He wasn’t even allowed to own a gun because he was nuts his stupid mother bought it for him….

[@jay83]

The chills I have of knowing when I met dime at at download Festival backstage and he said " see you in another life brother! drink on" he would be murdered months later breaks my soul 💔

[@interovic]

I can't imagine how Phil feels. Feuding with a friend that died, then that death basically causing Dime's brother to never be able to forgive you, then ultimately losing Vinnie as well with no closure. I'm happy Phil is recovered and in a much better place, because that's a lot of pain jack

[@porkflaps4717]

Such a loss man. We all know Dimebag was a cream of the crop talent that was a cut above anyone else out there at the time. I almost feel like he didn't even get started down here before God took him home. R.I.P. to those we lost and props to Pantera for filling that alpha dog spot metal needed at the time and props for breaking onto the scene, kicked ass from coast to coast, kept eyes on the prize and maxxed the most!

[@charliejaworski2562]

Seen them 6 times in Indy and one time in Chicago. Got after show pass March 15th 1995 and went to Vinnie Pauls birthday party. Got to meet everyone and the best part was when Dimebag gave me a couple beers. I'll never forget that night. It was totally fucking awesome

[@TheGrinder66]

Hands down the best live band I’ve ever seen. Saw them over a dozen times too. Energy throughout and no front man EVER commanded a crowd like Phil did.

Saw them a few times. Probably, the best concert I ever saw was White Zombie, Pantera and Megadeth. An epic adventure, to say the least.

[@mikeman2862]

The squeal Dime did on his guitar (dubbed the Dime-squeal) was him doing a pull-off, dropping the whammy and then catching the string on a harmonic with the left hand when pulling the whammy back. All done fairly fast to get that specific squeal Also, if you want to hear a magnificent solo from Dime, i'd recommend Floods, the outro on that is utterly brilliant

[@mere_illusion]

i have a 10 hr loop of that outro

[@OffScottFree3]

Dime himself called them "Squealies" once in video. The 2-1/4 was always the hardest one for me to catch. I really wish I didn't sell all my gear now. 🫤

Pantera's influence on Metal is beyond anyone else's, while the others were trying to go faster or more technical, The Texas Legends showed the world why groove and catchy ass sounds were the top of the top. 🤘

[@dannyropero4216]

Hands down.. the HEAVIEST band I ever witnessed. Seen them twice, once as an opening act and then as a headliner. Both times they had a very fierce and "in your face" energy about them live, like they were on a warpath. Great reaction, great channel. Long live Dime!!!!

[@thadude2862]

When you said I’m hoping there’s a solo I almost Peed myself laughing because one of the best solos in the history of metal live especially was on his way💯😂😂😂😂

[@electricninja2122]

Same here. I knew she was mere seconds away from having her face melted.

[@LurchyScott]

You should 100% react to Cemetary Gates. It's easily one of the best songs Pantera has ever written. If you react to it though, it has to be the studio version. There is a radio edit that is about 2 minutes shorter than the studio version which is the one you want to avoid. You really get to hear what a great vocalist Phil Anselmo was when he was younger. The dude had some serious pipes at one time.

[@EnkiSvohden]

The music video "Five Minutes Alone" is especially neat because, during filming it, they accidentally created an fps phenomenon! Definitely give it a watch in your own time!

[@dwisatria6480]

This Live was watched by approximately 1.6 million people, where in this Live featuring AC/DC, METALLICA, PANTERA, AND THE BLACK CROWES, maybe until now the record for the largest audience in the metal music category has not been broken, and the domination song in my opinion is the mother of breakdown...this Live is called MONSTER OF ROCK...🙏🙏🙏

The number of attendance at this venue are simply unknown!! In September of 1991 when this concert was held and recorded/documented the USSR was on it's last legs and would collapse in December of 1991. This was a free venue and yes a LOT of people of all walks of life came to this venue to celebrate the failed coup attempt the month prior in August of 1991 but do you really think counting the amount of people at a free concert when your country is in shambles is a priority? Besides that this venue was held on the grounds of Tushino Airfield wich was a military base so there were also a LOT of soldiers present to keep things under control literally hitting the crowd with billy clubs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6jOl6uPhqx5Z9U

[@sgy2dpe]

Best band to ever "walk" the face of this planet and it's not even close. We were blessed with the greatness that is Pantera.

[@ev.junior]

The most iconic metal band of the 1990s, this "Monsters of Rock" in Russia was one of the biggest symbols of the end of communism, and perestroika ended up escaping the control of the Kremlin. Metal invaded the East, broke the frontiers and showed its strength. But, this live version of "Domination" is a little different from the original version, especially on the vocals. Phill Anselmo could never be technically perfect live, and over time he lost his vocal ability. But he was a symbol of his generation. I will never forget the murder of Dimebag on stage, it was so sad.

[@TheGrinder66]

Also, I have CFH tattooed on me. By far my all time favorite band. Darryl was not only a guitar god, he was a genuinely great human being

[@Benobot99]

[@paulsmith2516]

I can tell you from glorious personal experience that a Pantera live set was utterly mind blowing and completely physically EXHAUSTING, and that is just from the fans' perspective. I saw them twice in Glasgow and the outside of the venue looked like a disaster zone afterwards with utterly exhausted half naked metalheads just collapsed all over the pavement. No idea how they managed to deliver that power and intensity night after night. Your generation couldn't possibly keep up. Yeah they inspired so many bands of the next generation but in such a watered down soft ass way. Not 1 21st century band even comes anywhere close. It isn't even a contest.

[@Mrgorilla73]

This was Dime's favorite Pantera song and for good reason.

[@da8171]

Pantera is one of those bands that come along and there will never be any other band like them. Just keep checking them out, they were great. And they are doing shows again to honor the two brothers and the music they made.

[@juliendidelot]

What I love about this band is that they sound as good in the studio as in concert! ''Floods'' and ''This Love'' are songs to listen to.

[@n0madtv]

They were definitely a breakout group and had one of the most unique metal styles at the time. This shit was mind blowing for all of us when it came out. The level of influence this had, you can classify the metal genre as pre-pantera and post-pantera.

[@uraniumcranium2613]

@Dragon Ball fans can't read Yeah nah.

[@n0madtv]

​@Dragon Ball fans can't read I meant unique, in mainstream metal. Prong was one of those bands people talked about but didn't actually listen to, and I don't even know who Exhorder is. I had some of those friends that knew all the new and upcoming bands, but they were not average. By the time most of us were pumping Cowboys from Hell out of our Kickers, they were starting to catch on in the mainstream world.

[@thetribalist6923]

@Big Homie Steve The Metal Head Exhorder and Pantera were friends. They both influenced each other, as said so by both bands. The Law came out the same year slightly before Vulgar did. They stopped being glam several years before they even released CFH.

[@headbangermedic]

Grew up in Ft. Worth, late teens/early 20's in the 90's. Saw Pantera live several dozens of times from their start at Joe's Garage to filling stadiums. Best years of any life.

[@timeye7684]

I got to see Pantera live many times. When I was 14 in 1992 I believe White Zombie opened for them. I have an older brother that always took me to concerts and he had a friend that setup for venues. He got is back stage and Dime gave me a pic. It’s black and says Cowboys From Hell on 1 side and Diamond Darrel on the back I still have it. One of the best shows I’ve ever been to! It was at Cincinnati Gardens

[@jacklandon9739]

One thing you just said that SUMS up PANTERA. They look like on stage they are having fun and enjoying themselves! Amen girl! All 4 of them partying their asses off while performing on stage was so Electric. Saw them 9 times and every show was so Amazing 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@jumpcutreviews1545]

Got to see them live in concert twice. I regret not going to see them more, but hindsight is 20/20. I lived in Dallas for ten years and was also lucky to meet both Dime (in 1996) at Guitar Center in Arlington and Vinne (2008) At Milo's across from Cowboy's stadium in Arlington. They were both just sweet and humble dudes. Dime showed me how to play "I'm Broken." He took the time to sit with 16-year-old me who was just learning how to play. Did a shot with Vinne, thanked him, and then left him alone. The world was a better place when they were in it. RIP Abbott Brothers, You are both Metal Legends.

[@omegashinra7672]

Pantera influenced almost every modern metal band that exists. They were the first to really bring that just straight fucking groove and the slam style of heaviness that we see in nearly every band with breakdowns in modern music. I've always argued that Pantera essentially started what we know as modern metal, they were a great hybrid of what we have now in terms of heavy and groove in metal, but still were a hold out of the older school guitar solos and musicianship from the 80s. I'd also argue metal music would be different today if Pantera didn't exist.

[@vassillifodaveabbott2568]

I don't have time to read through all the comments so I'm going to give you a quick little background. Anytime in the late eighties and before they blew up in the cowboys from hell if you would have gave him a case of beer and a bag of weed they would have played in your garage for 3 hours. I have far too much to write when I realized it would be far easier just to have you watched the MTV behind the music Pantera. There is also a tribute DVD called dimevision volume one. Amazing tribute to Dime but in the realization he is gone you will cry. His god-like guitar-playing is only overshadowed by his personality. With all sincerity he was the most beautiful person. If you made it back stage it did not matter whether your name was Madonna or Billy from The cornfields everybody was treated like family. On a side note the first concert that Madonna did after murder she walked up on two stage with a guitar and played Walk with tears in her eyes

[@dizzle7558]

They were a force to be reckoned with live and that's a fact 💯

[@XMorbidReignX]

The thing about Vinnie Paul and his drumming, he hits 100% full force on every skin. He is the number 1 reason outside of mic failure that drum techs have multiple drums ready to go incase a skin breaks. He'd break them every show. Moreover, Vinnie was so accurate with his tempo during live play and recording that not once was he ever required to use a click track or metronome and if there was ever a disagreement on tempo, Vinnie would play "against" a metronome and he was as accurate as it was every single time. The whole band was made of freak talent musicians. Just unreal skill with everything they did.

It wasn't Pantera, but Dimebag, Vinny, and Rex were there playing with members of Sevendust, Alice in Chains, Slipknot, and a few other bands. I shared a bottle of Jagermaister with Dimebag while they were playing because I had my tub of beer and liquor sitting on the stage. We weren't planning on live music that night. The clubhouse is a strip club that was partially owned by Pantera. They just decided to take over the stripper stage that night and they absolutely rocked the place.
