Pantera Cowboys From Hell Composer Reaction and Dissection // The Decomposer Lounge

[@KeyOfGeebz]

ALOHA GANG! :) Well, obviously I'm not a guitar amp aficionado so thank you all for setting into play on this video the response to my statement that it was a solid-state and not pure tube driven. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

[@TriCombStudio]

Would you cover things like video game music... perhaps a metal version of Mega Man 3 by Dr Wily And The Robot Masters?? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWrOd4aApLiLbZY&ab_channel=Dr.WilyandTheRobotMasters-TopicDr.WilyandTheRobotMasters-Topic

[@RezaMatix]

what most of these guys don't know is that there was a tube amp on most of pantera's recordings.

[@BEANZI3xTFMx]

I'm not sure if you want to get into something a little less famous, but a guy called Sam Wesphalen did covers of Metal with only an acoustic guitar played in precision guitar style.

[@cornbeltslayer9857]

I think this song holds up Nice even into today great riffs and fast drums! 😎

[@RBRGreenie]

Hey Geebz, yes it was a solid state amp but was recorded through a tube Neve console.

[@panamayuck]

Pantera's legend guitarist, Dimebag Darrell, met his idol Eddie Van Halen just a few weeks before Dimebag was murdered, and the two bonded so much in that short meeting that at Dimebag's funeral, Eddie buried one his most famous guitars, (the yellow and black one he held on the back of the Van Halen II album) with Dimebag.

[@TheDeadStretch]

The reason for that is that Dime was trying to buy one of Eddie's guitars but he said let's just make a special one together. Eddie asks so just like Red, White and Black strips? "No, Darrell always said that the yellow and black was your toughest guitar.’ So when he was buried Eddie said that "A real one" needed the real one.

[@davecrupel2817]

Wtf did he really?! That is an amazing thing to learn!! Hopefully the two have now had plenty to share with one another....R.I.P. to both of them.

Really?! I didnt know that. That is amazing honestly 😭

[@omefea8501]

[@wilko6679]

They were a glam metal band in the 80s. They essentially ignore those albums and call Cowboys From Hell their 'first' album. Which definitely is a pioneering era for groove metal

[@tommj4365]

Cowboys was their first album on a major record label. Their earlier stuff was independently produced and released, so even for legal reasons the big record labels might not be able to release them. I think they just decided they got this new awesome singer with a new style, and it's not worth drudging up that old stuff. You can find the first 4 albums as bootlegs on Ebay. The original producer (their dad lol) is happy to see those still in circulation. He even bought himself copies and commented how great they sound (a remastered issue I believe)

[@Angusmetalrules]

Phil’s first album with them was Power Metal. There are still some hints of the 80’s Metal style on Cowboys from Hell.

[@wilko6679]

[@douglasdog1]

Actually, Dime used solid state amps, no tubes. He really sculpted his sound with them, used an MXR graphic EQ in front.

[@douglasdog1]

@@HenritheHorse Before that it was mostly solid state Randalls

[@HenritheHorse]

@@douglasdog1 Yep, love the sound! I myself combine solid state and tube amps for my sound.

[@TheDeadStretch]

Yeah he just started to use tube amps with Damageplan. I think Krank amps just fell off after Dimebag.

[@RBRGreenie]

Yeah but that solid state amp was recorded through a tube Neve console.

[@HenritheHorse]

@@RBRGreenie I doubt those newer Neve consoles had any tubes, all transistor based. Tube Neves are very rare and old.

[@crookedriverstudios]

Ironically that tube sizzle comes from a scooped solid state amp

[@albreezy26]

Was going to comment this. Geebz, dimebag put Randall amps on the map which are solid state amps, no tubes. Also well known for scooping his mids in the vain of metallica and other thrash bands

[@Spitatra]

Incredible isnt it, because you can get that sound from a 5150 and Dime did it with a Randall solid state.

[@cebrinpitts]

This album was solid state and some after, though if my memory serves me correctly it was tube on Great Southern Trendkill, and beyond. I believe Randall made it special for him.

[@MichaelValdez86]

This album is a favorite of mine. It was released in 1990 and paved the way for many bands. RIP Dime and Vinnie.

[@XistoKente]

To see a completely different face of the Pantera sound (but still undeniably Dimebag), listen to "Floods" off of their heaviest record "The Great Southern Trendkill".

[@pabo619]

"Hollow" is another great example

[@thatoneguy229OG]

[@TheDeadStretch]

Fun Fact about Dime's Guitar tone: For most of his career it was all solid state amps and power amps. I think it's the same in studio they hardly ever used tube amps. It wasn't until after PanterA with Krank amps that is when Dime had tube style amps.

[@09syrinx]

I feel Cemetery Gates- Pantera is needed

[@socialaudio365]

Ah yes! One of the many reasons I'm proud to be from TEXAS! thank you for what you do geebz!

[@BbNaB]

I saw a band that was heavily influenced by Pantera, also from TX called Pissing Razors. I even bought their "Where We Come From" album at the show.

[@carolynm.7530]

@SocialAudio Agreed, Texas hospitality here! I have loved Pantera from the very beginning to sadly the end. I love you Dimebag Darrell; one of my top ten favorite guitarists. Kudos for all the great music. I know you have been resting peacefully. 💜 Thank you Geebz for breaking this song down. I Love your comment "The real metal of the '80s" 💯

[@drivenbydemons6537]

Your comment about the drums is spot on. So happy to hear someone say it! I LOVE Dime like everyone does but people don't often comment how Vin's drums made Dime's riffs even better. They were a machine for real. Knew each other like only brothers could and never would sound the same without each other.

@SofaKingCool but we would have had more Pantera

[@therealnynetynyne360]

Dime did a lot with solid state amps as part of his sound, its why his harmonic screams were so sustainy. And yes it was on 11. Rex held the low end down while dime had the freedom to do what he did

[@caseyk.1386]

That intro takes me back to being a kid, riding around with my uncle and cousins. It’s too perfect! My uncle passed a couple years ago, it’s cool being randomly taken back to that feeling.

[@feistyferret7299]

Good old Pantera. Never disappoints! Since you touched upon the influence they had on metal in general it might be fun to give a listen to something like "Entombed - Left Hand Path". Released the same year, totally different direction, but also very influential.

[@afterlifetattoostudio7010]

LOVE that album

[@tomobrien5345]

Shit! That was the same year. Never thought about that. I was listening to Entombed then. Took me a few more years to not be as prejudiced against more "heavy metal" stuff like this.

[@kernelpickle]

Dimebag’s high end sizzle came from a lack of tubes. He was using solid state Randall Amp heads, so that’s purely tone from transistors and whatever distortion pedal Dime was using. Dime liked solid state amps because everyone else was playing fickle tube amps and he liked reliability on the road because he didn’t have to worry about getting his shit stolen or blowing up and losing his signature sound because tubes died. He also said that he felt like tubes had a slower response and his solid state amps were much faster to respond and that’s how he was able to play so fast with so much distortion without having it sound like garbled mess. Solid state amps were also way louder back the day.

[@sublimingmule6356]

I love that you notice the southern rock influence, and I find it interesting that you brought up Eddie about the flanger, cause a lot of people regard pantera as the second van Halen, very much because of the groove that you only get from 2 brothers growing up playing guitar and drums together.

[@adamlytek]

@@hoopsmccann639 It’s not that hard. Listen carefully and you’ll hear it. In fact in all songs you can hear the bass, however it is usually felt more than heard. The bass makes the music sound full. Take out the bass and the composition sounds a lot different. It also depends how you’re listening to the music (what kind of headphones, etc do you use). I can hear bass in nearly every song, but that’s because I have ears ‘trained’ to do so, and I use good headphones. Hearing bass in any recording is not in fact too difficult. Sometimes it is just hard because the bass is turned down slightly. Hearing bass requires ear training and strictly paying attention to it. Bass can also have different types of sounds in the mix. Sometimes it is as we all associate bass with, and sometimes it is a sort of a clicking sound.

@@PetParadiseVB I can play it closely at slower speeds. It's easier for my left hand to play it at the nut in a box but right hand and left hand together is easier staying on the low E string and moving up and down the neck, except that turns super sloppy when I do it.

That makes sense. There is a lot of Dimebags work that I’ve always thought would sound extremely bluesy if the amps weren’t cranked up.

100% agree with your comments at the end about the importance of dynamics and contrast in a song. Pantera were masters of changing up their songs and bringing in different flavours. It's one of the things that keeps me listening to them on a regular basis 27 years after being introduced to them, where other bands I like dont get as much air time because my ears get tired of the sameness across the portfolio.

[@williamcozart8158]

RIP Dime, Vinney Paul, and PANTERA, ANOTHER GREAT CHOICE GEEBZ! Pantera were formed in the 80's, they didn't have any major releases in that decade, only independent. Their major label debut was 1990 Cowboys from Hell, they got some national radio play but the 2nd major release Vulgar Display of Power was when they got "BIG", with MTV playing vids for Walk and This Love, then they had the Billboard #1 metal album in 1995 with the release of Far Beyond Driven. Please do more, I'd suggest Primal Concrete Sledge, Cemetery Gates, Fucking Hostile, Mouth for War, WALK(a MUST listen if you wanna know what "the Pantera sound" is!), A New Level, Becoming, I'm Broken, 5 Minutes Alone, Slaughtered, Shedding Skin, Use My Third Arm, Planet Caravan, War Nerve, 10's, Flood, The Underground in America, Sandblasted Skin, Hellbound, Goddamn Electric, Yesterday Don't Mean Shit, You've Got To Belong To It, Revolution Is My Name, We'll Grind That Axe For A Long Time, I'll Cast A Shadow. There are many more good songs from Pantera including some covers. Like Pantera's version of Black Sabbath's Planet Caravan was probably in my top 2 or 3 favorites covers by any musicians. The Pantera version of that song brings up emotion in me because it was played at my cousin's funeral after he died in a motorcycle crash in '04, a few days before his 33rd birthday, also like a week after my b-day. We were pretty close, actually he played bass with my old band and was the person who got me into metal music way way back in the day. RIP Dave.

[@williamcozart8158]

Dimebag was murdered onstage, Vinney Paul WATCHED his brother get shot down. That all happened on December 8th 2004(while their band Damage Plan was playing a show!), the last time I had talked with my cousin Dave was right after that, on the phone talking to him about Dimebag's death. That was a rough month for me, and the months to follow lead me into dark times in my life.

One time in 1998 I sold Dimebag Darrell a salted pretzel with marinara sauce at the pretzel place I worked for in the Park's Mall in Arlington, TX. That was the greatest moment for teenage me ever. He showed me a poster of himself he bought at Spencer’s.

You are 100% correct about the amp set up. Minimal effects, most of the sound is from his hands and the amp doing it’s thing being pushed. Love the reaction.

I love Pantera! Pantera saved metal in the 90's. Funny, I actually wore my Pantera shirt today, came home and watched this.

At this stage and for most of Pantera's run, Dime was running solid state amps (Randall RG100ES) and a Furman PQ-3 rack eq. The EQs changed over the years but the RG100 & PQ-3 was the original classic combination. Also downtuned a half-step and then some (landing somewhere between Eb and D). He later went to Randall Warheads and then Krank (tube) amps. His razor-sharp tones are so beautiful.

@5:00 I can safely say that metalcore and yes groove metal would not be what it is today without Pantera. Those groove riffs, the solos into heavy breakdowns. Tempo changes and transitions. They wrote the book

[@underscoreisnotvalid]

other pantera songs to check out: - domination, cemetery gates (cowboys from hell) - walk, a new level, mouth for war (vulgar display of power) - slaughtered, i'm broken (far beyond driven) - sandblasted skin, floods (great southern trendkill) - revolution is my name (reinventing the steel)

Pantera were the epitomy of groove metal and heavy AF! The video of this tune live in Moscow might be my most-watched KZbin clip ever, Dimebag was a god-like shredding riff monster (RIP) while Vulgar Display still blows my mind and sounds as fresh as ever nearly 30 years later. Thanks for an nteresting analysis as always.

Yes, you are now my best friend. Thank you very much for doing the CFH. Rest in peace Dimebag Darrell Lance Abbott and Vinny Paul Abbott AKA the Abbott brothers.

[@rikmoore622]

Please do more Pantera! Give them the same rabbit hole you gave tool 🤘

[@jacoblewis5996]

Dimebag’s CFH tone consisted of a L500xl pickup, MXR 6 band eq, furman parametric eq, noise gate, into a solid state Randall RG100es at max gain, and in the loop was the MXR flanger doubler with Jaguar speakers in the speaker cabinet.
