Pantera 1987 No Remorse

Great Metallica choice to cover back in those days. Darrell (as usual) just shreds it to shit effortlessly. Also - on this one the camera guy zoomed in midway through, got some cool shots of each band member.

[@tommygallagher2542]

At this time Pantera was covering Van Halen, Skid Row, Def Leppard, Ratt, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Judas Preist, venom, Motörhead and Kiss. Goes to show that end of the metal is all just one big family and we can like every sub genre

[@ToiletClogger]

Wow

So cool that Phil had already found his voice, even crazier that Dime can fill in the space of 2 guitarists!

[@FedeBeasDrums]

Pretty sure Rex is actually who fills that space, his job always have been underrated

Dime isn't filling the space of two guitarists, and there's nothing crazy about it. Just one guitar, turned up, all the secondary parts, missing.

[@nextphase7675]

it feels like a Pantera song, explains perfectly what's the Metallica influence on Pantera. Didactical !!

[@Squall6575]

Nah imo it feels more like they did a perfect metallica impersonation. Probably the single greatest metallica cover band ever (I don’t mean they are a metallica cover band obviously, but that as a band, I dont think anyone has ever bested their versions of Metallica covers)

[@bigbobbitchinii123]

You have to remember and take into account that Dave Mustaine's songwriting is all over Kill em all. Metallica's sound and style changed with ride the lightning and Master. Even though I can't stand MegaDave. There is a good reason he was so successful. Specially with Junior, Friedman, Menza. Before his ego took over. Pantera is and has always been in a league of its own. Groove metal. Had Pantera stayed intact I have no doubt they would have surpassed Metallica. In all honesty if we are talking "speed metal" they lost that crown in 1990. Pantera came in and saved the genre when Metallica had a image crisis and were writing songs with old bags singing on them. "The memory remains " anyone? Metallica's last front to back great album was And Justice. Best? Master. Since they came back to their senses with Death Magnetic. They have had a couple above board songs every album to the most recent. Metallica lost its way when Cliff died.

[@seanmatal2383]

Dime was almost Megadethz guitarist but would take Vinnie so he backed out

[@mikepatterson437]

I specifically asked Darrell in person - the first time I met him, which was at Guitar Alley (Metairie, La.), December 28, 1990. I was there before they went on and he was right there, (biggest fucking mop of hair you have ever seen). But very cool guy, obviously, and here I am stumbling over my words but I asked if they were going to play Pussytight and Over and Out, and he said no, the new shit is out and the old shit is done with. Don't think they ever went back to that stuff once Cowboys was out

[@iceWaterProductions1]

Damn this must be newly unearthed footage. It’s badass

[@captaindaddy8645]

the groove in this song definitely influenced pantera with thier new , southern groove metal sound that got them out of the clubs and spandex and into the #1 album slot by the mid 90s. far beyond driven is a masterpiece.
