Well, then I have to break it to ya then. Back in 1985 at Joe's Garage, Pantera was a glam band, did wear spandex, and Darrell (wasn't called Dimebag yet) even had glitter in his hair, and YES once they tired of Motley Crue, Def Leopard and Doken covers, they finally started playing Metallica cover tunes as well. Sorry kids, I stand as an eye witness of those days in Joe's Garage. I was there and watched it all evolve. Yes, it's true. They played Metallica covers tunes before they were ever known of outside of Texas.

But Metallica was already doing major concerts in the mid-1980s while Pantera was still just doing small-time clubs. I was there every time they played in Joe's Garage in those days in '84 - '85.

[@Xianne027]

@@tommy_14 The reason their earlier albums never sold well was because they were produced on a private label by Jerry Abbott himself (Darrell and Vinnie's dad) from his own very small recording studio and his own money. And Pantera were still just teenagers then. Try to understand that an individual has no chance to mass produce and mass market an album. Could you afford that? Seriously? Do you have any idea how the music business works? I don't think so. lol! It's only possible with a major record label contract. That's how the music business works, kid. It had nothing to do with their popularity. In fact, if they hadn't been so popular back then in the early days as a "glam band" they wouldn't have even gotten the chance to later win a major record label contract. How do I know? Because I was there in their scene back then 40 years ago, and even visited their studio in Pantego, long before your time. Get a clue about how things work in the music business and stop making stuff up about their story as you go along, okay?

[@artix4545]

bro Pantera saved metal from almost being dead

[@talesxavier5752]

No, I don't know why people still think that Pantera was the only metal in the 90s, you had White Zombie, Prong, Helmet, Vision of Disorder, Orange 9mm, Biohazard, Korn, Deftones, Coal Chamber, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, RATM, Clawfinger, Downset, Dog Eat Dog, Incubus, Faith No More, Amorphis, Cannibal Corpse, In Flames, all the thrash metal bands in the 80s was there (Yes, I know this when these bands were starting to experimenting with new sounds, but there's nothing wrong with that) Neurosis, Sepultura, the black metal scene, Fear Factory, Melvins, Crowbar, Acid Bath, Eyehategod, Machine Head, SOAD, Nothingface, Earth Crisis, Powerman 5000, Limp Bizkit, P.O.D., Body Count and many other bands. Metal was not dying in the 90s, this is just mainstream media being mainstream media.

He went to hand me and my girl one and security came up and said "NO, and sir you can't be in here with glass bottles." Phil just put his hands up and said "Sorry man, can't get in trouble". He apologized and walked back stage with a smile. But you're right. He said the same thing at that show and nobody left.

@Metal Puppet statue wise no one in metal it is. But in the 90's Pantera was the only big metal band who was selling records besides Metallica and they went softer. Maiden, Sabbath, Priest all changed singers and didn't work out. Thrash bands changed their sound and didn't do well either. Other extreme genres never sold much for obvious reasons.

[@metalpuppet5798]

@@JezusSlaves Maiden didnt work out??? They are just as big as Metallica ffs. And for a reason. They are phenomenal musicians. Their last album wasnt good but everything else was great. Priest are still kicking major butt. Pantera where nowhere near these guys even though they wrote good stuff.

@Metal Puppet I'm talking purely about the 90's and their albums sales, Maiden had Baley and Priest had ripper and neither worked out. In terms of numbers no metal band comes close to Metallica, not Sabbath not Priest not anyone. I'm talking tickets and records not the quality, that's subjective.
