Pantera - Cemetery Gates 7 Minute Version (Reaction!) | OMG I love it

[@MsCruisein]

Phil's a hell of a lyricist and singer. Dimebag, kicking ass on that guitar. Forever stronger than all. Song's about suicide and living after losing someone to suicide. When he was a kid, Phil lost two close friends to suicide, and this is what he wrote to work through it, while being respectful to his friends' memory and writing a song that's universally accessible to people.

[@samanthajudy8333]

I speak from my heart when i say that losing someone you love to suicide can change you forever, all the way to the core of your soul....

[@jimbeam2299]

My ex of 7 years took her own life and these lyrics hit harder than a ton of bricks. Great reaction buddy

[@Michael15_25]

Never fails to send chills down my spine when I hear Phil sing “Reverend… Reverend…”

[@SparkimusPrime]

Yessss! This is my favorite song my them 🖤 Dimebag’s guitar matching Phil’s vocals is impeccable 🔥

[@arnoldcox9128]

As impressive as Phil's vocals were, no way he's competing with a electric guitar

[@SparkimusPrime]

[@tomking7080]

It’s definitely incredible

[@plantdesigns7889]

Have to give props to Rex Brown. The bass sounds great and he has a great voice as well.

[@theneer-do-well3240]

"I haven't gotten that psyched about a song in a long time". Yeah. Pantera has that kind of power over people.

[@vass0922]

Many Pantera songs are just pure energy and getting that anger out. Suggested below is This Love which is always a favorite or you can take a trip to Moscow for Domination!

[@nancymjohnson]

Dime was a friend of mine. Phil, at times, couldn’t sing this song live because of the damage done growling on other songs.

[@SebsDuran]

Omg 😱

[@dsggoodbar]

For sure. Phil did a lot of damage to his vocal cords that caught up to him later on. This is an incredible song. One of many from Pantera. RIP Dimebag Darrell. God tier guitarist. ❤

Yes. People been sleeping on Pantera. A lot of astonishing stuff going on.

[@katiemurray5862]

I watched a Opera singer/vocal coach react to this song. She couldn't believe the range Phil Anselmo has. She said he has one of the best voices she has ever heard in her professional career ❤️ Pantera is my all time favorite band. Thanks for reacting! Xoxo

[@R.Nashoba]

Definitely go down the Pantera rabbit hole, You wont be disappointed, Awesome reaction brother 👊🏽

[@stupidtool]

Baby Phil had quite the range!

[@billsultzbach7079]

Keyword- had!

[@stupidtool]

@@billsultzbach7079 Yeah, I'm sure it's been a couple decades since he was able to hit these high notes.

[@profanepersonality]

Phil wasn't a baby. When he left his home, he looked at his dad and said "You're the man of the house now.".

[@PROGROCK-tr9hw]

Im pretty sure by Far Beyond Driven in 94 he already couldn't.

[@chrisferguson1911]

WAS...why you think they aren't performing it...he couldn't do this song with a g*n to his head.

[@SublimeLyfeNow]

Phil Anselmo wrote the lyrics about a friend who committed suicide back in New Orleans that had a huge effect on his friend group so he wanted to write a song about it but thought it would be cheesy to write it the way it really happened so instead he tweaked his lyrics to tell a story about someone losing a romantic partner to death which he said he thought more ppl could relate to.

[@SebsDuran]

Oh geez…. Thanks so much for the comment. Definitely adds to the song for me

[@m-rabbit3830]

Just love for Pantera ❤️❤️❤️

[@ArmandoMartinez-zz5xt]

Absolutely ICONIC riffs!! Dimebag is a legend.

[@SublimeLyfeNow]

you asked what "unlock my door and pass the cemetery gates" means so let me explain here in the south where Phil anselmo is from too it's a superstitious thing to lock your doors and roll up your windows when driving past a cemetery so him saying I will unlock my door is a metaphor for saying I will face this head on and allow myself to feel what I feel and not lock his emotions up in a box type thing.

[@stevencanzonetta1971]

"Domination" live from Moscow '91. Dimebag shows why he is thee metal God on guitar!

[@scottcorboy2410]

Glad you jumped on this one, one of the greatest metal songs ever

[@kenrichards4838]

Pantera this love, regular people, by demons be drivin, slaughtered, domination, 25 years ( one of my favorite all time) and my surprise pick of planet caravan from far beyond drivin.

[@alyssaheath4335]

Pantera has some fucking awesome melodic songs, i recommend The sleep or Hollow. absolutely beautiful melodic sounds with some heaviness in there too. fucking great songs my favourites

[@puppetmaster8551]

The sleep is so fuckin underrated. Dime’s best solo for me.

[@paulie98vr6]

Now you can watch the video for it and see why all Pantera fans want it to disappear from existence. You can see Dimebag in action. “Hollow” and “This Love” may be a couple you should check out next. Both have softer parts, but the latter is like this song. There is an album version of “This Love” which is longer than what you usually find.

[@SparkimusPrime]

I love This Love 🖤

[@paulie98vr6]

@@SparkimusPrime I love the two breakdowns in it. The shortened version cuts one out and takes away from how badass the song is. You probably already knew that though🤷🏼‍♂️

[@BogdanM20]

You must react to Pantera-Floods! Best song, and solo ever.

[@dianaoshea5318]

This song is perfection in my opinion

[@adrianfoote8281]

Haven't seen anyone react to the art of shredding by Pantera so that would be cool

[@brandonmcsorley9579]

Hmmm. Where to start. The next song I would check out following this would be "This Love", has a similar feel and also more clean vocals. I first saw Pantera LIVE! in 2000 at Ozzfest. The show was outside, and it was extremely rainy that day. Mud fights quickly became the coolest things to do. There was a giant clearing in the middle of the crowd where people were just chucking mud at each other. As soon as Pantera started playing, the mud fight circle instantly turned into the most raging mosh pit I have ever seen in my life. Every time Dimebag would solo, the spotlight would shine on him and the crowd would go WIIILD! The harmonics are called harmonic squeals or harmonic screams, and they extremely difficult to do. Dimebag used them all the time flawlessly because he was a rock god. RIP Dimebag and Vinnie.

[@PROGROCK-tr9hw]

Artificial harmonics are also referred to as pinch harmonics by some people.

[@MetalZoned]

As one of the people who recommended it (but not the one you referenced) thank you so much for listening to the commenters! The song is about losing a loved one and dealing with the fallout and regret of that. For the guitar sound on that insane squeal at the end, he used a wah pedal in conjunction with a Floyd rose bridge. Ola Englund has a short (1 min) video explaining it kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5Cxq4BmeNCqZsU

[@theshott]

Dime makes that squeal by artificial harmonic while the whammy bar has the strings loose, then pulls it high. You should check out “the sleep”. Great solos. Great song.

[@lisagubbins6772]

U couldnt beat the early 90's for metal 🖤🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@dard4642]

This is a masterpiece. It has beauty; it has grit; it has sadness; it has aggression; it has loss and it has triumph. No popular genre does transitions better than metal and the transitions in this song are great. I think the best thing that this song does is balance. Like, everything is great but nothing is too great (if that makes sense). The rhythm section is chunky and groovy. Dime (the KING of riff), delivers in both his roles as rhythm and lead guitar. His solo has a blazing part and bluesy part. As for Phil, this song can act as his entire resume. He can sing, growl, he has a duet voice, an operatic voice, and a scream. The lyrics are sad, vulnerable, and strong, AND he made it just vague enough that anyone can make it a song about a time in their life, which makes it their own song. It is a rare 7-minute song that flies by and even makes you wish there was more. Simply put, it's a fucking masterpiece.

[@sunshineness2007]

This is my favorite Pantera song... I love all their music but this is by far my favorite. Check out this live and hollow both amazing songs.

[@pcplayerreacts1865]

10:24 im convinced either chris cornell or him himself culdve hit tht note but for dimebag dareel to hit it then leave it at tht is everything to me ..... dimebag is a true true legend

[@littlejimmy7402]

When I was 19 and in the Army, I was stationed at Ft. Sill, OK 1986-1989. There was a metal club called the "Hard Roxxx" in Lawton, OK. I must have seen Pantera probably 2 or 3 times a year at different events. Even back then they were so tight, so good. Those days were so fun. Super cool guys by the way.

[@timrue8898]

Sebs that my friend was an awesome review!! Im a 58 year old metalhead and was a huge Pantera fan. I remember when this album came out. I was star struck when I saw them live 4 times while in the military stationed in San Antonio. I still have those ticket stubs ( remember those days). Ive saw them many times after Cowboys from Hell was released. But the early years were magical! Thanks for bringing us this masterpiece. WELL DONE!!

[@terrinpeterson9899]

22 frets but Squeals that could reach the 40th 🤘😤🔥

[@redrune100]

The guitarist you were trying to think of, in my opinion, is Eddie Van Halen who was a huge influence on Dimebag

[@kennethv5250]

darrel always used amps with digital distortion because it gave a harder more raw sound, while tube distortions were too soft and mellow.....darrel flicks the string, gets the harmonic then uses the whammy bar to raise it to the heavens

[@evanhertzog]

Welcome to the Dime Bag Dive Bomb. The one and only. The metal GOAT. Long Live Vinny and Dime. LOMG LIVE PANTERA!!! Great reaction man!

[@DannyLeeOGT]

Glad you did this as it's my Favorite Pantera song!!!!

[@jnovak1278]

“This singer’s voice…dude!” Wait for it.

[@GimmeJimmy23]

Sebs, to hit that note, Dimebag used a whammy pedal, which allows you to play an octave or more above the actual notes you're playing, using an expression pedal to control the amount of pitch bend. I want to say It's about a $350 pedal, which is a lot for a pedal, but, once you have one, you'll wonder how you ever did without one.

[@GimmeJimmy23]

Also, DigiTech makes a $40 pedal that does the same thing.

[@chrisferguson1911]

Artificial harmonics....on Black Tooth Grins. Look up Dimebag harmonic tutorial, it's a hell of a ride.🇺🇸🤘🇺🇸

[@samanthajudy8333]

this was my favorite song by them! the awesome guitar combined with his insane vocals!!!! i think if you look deep enough into hard rock and heavy metal, youll find that many of the lead singers are crazy talented and have so much more to offer than their typical genre sound.....and im not belittling that sound when i say that ;)

That last part of the song, which the long whine/screech. It’s caused y hitting a natural harmonic and using a floating bridge whammy bar and tighting the strings by using the whammy bar/ vibrato bar

[@MarkyMark8484]

I've been listening to Pantera since I was a kid in the early 90s. Walk, Domination, and Mouth for War are definitely must listens. Cemetery Gates is definitely one of my faves. But my all time favorite is Revolution Is My Name. That's a straight banger!!
