Pantera - Becoming - Live in Boston 8.2.24

[@andrewprice4678]

This was first time seeing Pantera and Metallica. Holy crap was that an amazing concert. Metallica brought the thunder.

[@silverserpentor6710]

Was at that show, I couldn’t believe how good Phil sounded. And Charlie killed it on the drums

[@stephenhood2948]

Charlie is an amazing drummer.

[@tm9184]

This video doesn’t give it justice? It’s always hard to know if it’s poor quality sound from video.

[@ryanatkinson6606]

Not gonna say how many years I have been listening to Pantera but they are still by far my number one favorite band of all time.

[@masterp2269]

I think Charlie is killing it more than ANYONE on that tour even.

[@dreichert1438]

That kick drum was all sorts of off in the song. Kind of surprised at that, really

[@masterp2269]

@dreichert1438 I've watched many clips and videos. I can't say on this particular one, I am not a musician, so probably won't catch EVERY little nuance. He sounds great to me almost always.

[@nicholasrella6904]

I agree 100%. I wasn't expecting him to sound this good with Pantera. You can't go by these crappy quality videos. I saw them live & Charlie sounded the best out of the group. It was even more impressive because it was unexpected. Everyone knows Zack is great & you always expect him to sound great. I was really surprised to see Charlie steal the show. He absolutely killed it. I would love to see them again. I hope they do another tour.

[@poppawolf8777]

Fkn absolutely!!!! Saw them when they came to Tampa. N Charlie was killing it!!!!! Everyone sounds great. But fkn Charlie is bringin it

[@shortstuffstumpleson]

He's always been my favorite metal drummer. His work on 'Among' is my favorite. They couldn't have found a better drummer as a replacement.

[@PortugueseKeto]

This show was my first time seeing Pantera and Metallica in person. They were fantastic. By the end of it all I was stunned and overwhelmed. Can't wait to see the bands play live again.

[@mudafukrjonez4262]

Best song on the record FBD. It is a killer live as well.

[@mulletover3575]

The entire album kicks ass but the second half of the track list is far superior to the more commercially viable first half - with the exception of good friends and a bottle of pills. That’s one is not for the radio.

Thats my 2nd favourite album next to TGSTK

[@ANDREWHALL28]

I'm seeing them play here in the UK on their first headline arena tour, I can't wait, I last saw them on the Goddamn electric tour and Phil was completely out of it, so to see him fit and healthy and sounding good with a band this good behind him will be a complete treat

It’s not the talent, it’s the style, the attitude, the presence, the friendship, the look, the….on and on.

[@itsalwayssomething7490]

​@@Esb906of course there are a lot of guitarists that can play these songs, they're all over KZbin. That's true of almost every band. So many players are more talented than the ones that are famous. The difference is none of those "millions " of guitar players are conditioned to play a long tour, is already a famous guitarist with their own fanbase, has the respect of their metal peers, who was good friends with Dime, and could capture the essence of his playing, even if it's not note for note. A person may have one or two of those things, but not the whole package, and not the backing of the Abbott estate. It's not always about the technical aspects of playing. This version of Pantera still has to gel. It still has to get fans excited, because they know the love these guys for each other. So, it's not just a gig, but a tribute from people that were friends. And it can't feel phoned in.

Ummm....they haven't always been good friends or professionals with eachother. (Pantera dominated them whilst on tour, every night) caused alot of problems through the 90s and into early 2000's. Alot of egos at play. Good to see they've not grinded that axe in a long time) 😂

There are so many leads he’d have to learn in a short amount of time. Even for someone like Zakk it would take a long time for him to be able to perform Dimes solos like him.

Before they broke into primal concrete sledge. Phils screams if the guy next you is standing still punch him in the face. If anyone is looking at me not headbanging im going to come down there.
