Pantera - 5 Minutes Alone Bass & Drums

[@syndiccalls9965]

I truly love how Pantera didn't have guitar back tracks over the solos and just let Rex carry the rhythm

[@Rab35]

3:38 is an example of what makes Rex a great bassist.

[@FACEL1FT]

Now that’s a spicy groove-a-balla!

[@evdawg7757]

A little bit of fills goes a long way!

[@aroundthefur1210]

Exactly! This is stupid good.

[@Lucas-nu8ur]

listenning to the isolated track, I couldn't imagine how this would fit together with the solo , but it did it so fckn' well

[@vincealbertmusic]

It’s his jazz background!

[@oliverhayesthecreator4988]

people never realize how much rex carries this band

[@gerioux]

Bahaha bahaha

[@texassteel9771]

As far i know rex comes last in pantera

[@PianoPlayerJames]

Yeah, according to Phil he was heavily involved with the arrangements and putting the songs together.

[@randallross420]

the low end plays big

[@RK_peace]

Like all good bass players.

[@elroyblackbean]

Vinnie was the BB King of metal drumming. He put every note right where it needed to go. Nothing less or more.

[@aragusea]

Well said. All theose terrific full-band rests make this song, IMHO, and a lesser drummer would have a filled through those rests.

[@giuseppemariobressi5411]

Rex is one of the best metal bassist ever

[@cableaskanison1291]

"Hey Pantera how much heavy Is your rhythm section?" "Yes"

[@phileickmeyer2493]

Rex is a beast on bass. Vinnie was one of my drumming idols back in the day. Great drummer

[@pensnut08]

So nice to finally hear Rex.....Signed, Jason

[@jamescheaye927]

🤣

[@WaxManWalkabout]

😂😂

[@TSE_WOODY]

The little chug chug thing dime and vinnie do at the end of each bar sounds like phil saying “JUST GIMME” So sick.

[@ereaUA]

Panthera’s bass line is something next level

[@17thiago4t]

Pantera’s members were all some of the best in the world in their positions! Phill, Dimmy, Rex and Vinnie! ❤️

[@anteyes6976]

You literally can not possibly get a tighter foundation than this.

[@nickx1754]

Thank you for a properly synced version. The other version had me questioning a few things, lol "Man, Rex is REALLY laying back on the beat." X D

[@PanteraFan293]

Apologies for that.. I kinda just uploaded that, left it there for like half a year, and now when I log back on this account I hear that it was off beat 😅

[@FarBeyondDriven403]

This band was the most perfect ensemble ever 🤘🤘

[@punkywozza4330]

Rex is the backbone of Pantera, Him and Vinny riding the groove.

[@nokia-gm8gv]

i could listen to a whole album like this all dauy

[@nokia-gm8gv]

well i will

[@MyVaultboy101]

Rex carried some of Pantera songs, even more then Dimebag IMO. And this, this is one of them

[@metalben005]

Without Rex, Dime wouldn't be able to stand with his guitar alone.

[@redacted2275]

​@@metalben005What an imbeciIe exaggeration. You don't have to feel good about yourself by putting Dime down: Dimebag himself said Rex was essential to many of his guitar arrangements.

[@redacted2275]

Dimebag and Rex's arrangements co-existed, AnnabeIIe. What a fiIthy addiction to put one down to praise the other, no one from Pantera did that but Zeek in the comments have to be asinine.

[@bangslamwham88]

Rex's bass style is very similar to Mike Starr's.

[@evanmuscarella1785]

they played the same bass, spector changes bassist’s for the better

[@TSE_WOODY]

@@evanmuscarella1785its my aim to get one eventually, they just sound so fucking fantastic

[@ionehkontehdiabo7627]

@@TSE_WOODYcheck out the brand new Ethos HP basses. Affordable and those darkglass preamps can get in the rough ballpark into what the HAZ preamps did. They come stock with EMGs too

[@Farewelltokingz]

Not really. Mike was less note matched with the guitar. Also more laid back groove than Rex. Neither of those things are better or worse.

[@butacos1388]

This is very good for practice my bass play. Appreciate it!!!

[@Clark1974CFH]

Rexx Brown Hill Harris... every musician who play with him feels good because his job is trustworthy. His rhythm and groove in his bass lines are creative and precise.

[@dalweed100]

Inm really surprised how well these part are recorded and played at a time there was no editing :o

[@yeeaahBUDDY]

lol there was editing, it just wasn't digital yet EDIT: there was actually digital recording starting in the late 1970s

[@dalweed100]

@@yeeaahBUDDY oh okay I'm surprised, how was the editing done in 1994? With the tape?

[@yeeaahBUDDY]

@@dalweed100 yeah, there were even home 4-track and 8-track recorders for hobbyists back in the 80s you could buy for a few hundred bucks.

[@yeeaahBUDDY]

@@dalweed100 also, ProTools came out in 1991 and Cubase in 1992 so there was already computer recording by this time as well.

[@dalweed100]

@@yeeaahBUDDY thanks for the answer, I learn something today. A friend of mine got 16 track Boss (or Roland) in 2008 and you can't really edit. Copy/paste bars that's all. So I think this kind of recorder back in 1990's could do a lot. Or there were no real evolution beside ram and virtual tracks and built in effect.

[@thomaslemon3971]

There’s bassists in all genres that noodle just a little too much and sacrifice the bottom end. Geezer Butler and Bootsy Collins come to mind right away. Nobody holds it down like Rex!

[@Lanny-io9bi]

Of course Dime absolutely shreds and has riffs like no other and are legendary, but this is such a great bass and drum rhythm

[@Lolaandcassidyadventures]

Getcha pull!

[@JuiceMa5ter]

this is pure gold

[@OscarSalasOfficial]

Thank you!

[@romaricliegeois4796]

0:30 I never hear this change of rythme in this song ! This version make it clear

[@tobias2013]

Me encanta 😍

[@availablelight999]

Now you see what us bass players see. We carry much more than we get credit for. Rex,duff,sting ...i could go on.

Hopefully it's synced properly this time

Anyone who tries to undermine rex is just an idiot ill be honest a truly irreplaceable bassist ALL HAIL THE PIT BOSS

[@sv7017]

Anyone have an idea how Rex made this sound? I dont get it.

[@ionehkontehdiabo7627]

Spector bass loaded with EMG DC pickups and a HAZ preamp through an ampeg SVT 4 and possibly a Sansamp

@@ionehkontehdiabo7627 Thanks buddy. I wasnt sure if thats all it takes.

[@ionehkontehdiabo7627]

@@sv7017 yeah and then there’s the obvious eq, cut low mids a little bit, ampeg SVT 4s seem to have boosted bass even when “flat” so those would have to be “cut” a little bit too, then boost around 4khz and maybe 500-800 hz too

I’m not a huge fan of this song but the bass line during the solo has always made me appreciate it. This and walk are very over rated Pantera songs imo.

[@walterwhite5202]

Así que había un bajo en PanterA, yo solo pensé que estaba Lord Dimebag, su hermano y el viejo Phil jajajaja

[@Farewelltokingz]

Half of the perceived guitar sound on this record is the bass. The guitar on its own just sounds like white noise, whilst the bass is the main note definition.
