Pantera - Cemetery Gates ***FIRST LISTEN***

I'm glad it was the full length version.

That's not Henry Rollins 😅 but I did get a good chuckle. This song is about two of Phil's childhood friends who committed suicide. It's meant to be cryptic, sort of. He didn't want to be disrespectful to his friends, and he didn't want to be too on the nose because then it wouldn't mean as much to as many people as he hoped to reach, and because he wanted to write a song people would want to listen to, and not something maudlin or cheesy. He wrote it from the perspective of a guy who built his whole life around a girl who then died and left him struggling to live. It's about loss, really, and going on living after such a trauma. Phil's good at writing lyrics that someone can listen to and interpret in a way that makes sense to them or to apply it to their own experience.

This was the first song I heard from Pantera. I was hooked. RIP Vinnie and DD

[@fsanmiguel666]

It was my first song too from these guys. Saw the music video through Comcast on demand on Music Choice

[@Cadinho93]

"The guitar is like another voice" is the best way to describe how Dimebag Darrell played guitar. He was the best at what he did! Also, Phil Anselmo's vocals are insane on this entire album. From the aggressive metal vocals, to beautiful cleans, to Rob Halford-style highs. "Cowboys from Hell" is such a landmark album.

[@MaddyReactions]

🌸❤️

[@kranberryjones1449]

The songs Shattered and Clash with Reality have some wild Phil vocals

[@seangrover6101]

I was lucky enough to have seen them twice during this tour and once more later when they opened for Black Sabbath. Amazing musicians all four. RIP Vin and Dimebag

[@Ygzzzzz]

Pantera is known for one of greatest bands of all time for metal music. For me and for most people who play guitar, Dime is the best of all time, and for some he isnt, but he 100% changed the way you play. He was so unique, technique, sound, vibrato, legato EVERYTHING man. He came to rock and rocked like no other. You should do more Pantera like Hollow , Floods, This love... There you can really feal the lyrics and GUITAR aswell

[@MaddyReactions]

🌸🌸🌸

[@frankhermansen243]

"Dime is the best of all time" Heck yes. Often I feel Solos are just there because it's the norm and don't give anything to a song. (depends on band) But with Dime, the riffs, the Solos..... ALL just hit hard. The way he approach it, is just damn growy and Tasty

[@alexthorpe6583]

The main official music video for this song chopped off the slow part at the start, the first 90 seconds or so. I dunno why they did it that way, either to make the video shorter or just because it was a different style than the rest of it. Most reactors use the short version, I'm glad you found the full length version.

[@MaddyReactions]

Oooh

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Hahaha not Henry Rollins. I could only IMAGINE Rollins and Phil Anselmo in the same room together. Holy shit 💀

[@Buses2Bikes]

The song is about a guy whose girlfriend/wife dies and he is extremely bitter about it. Spends years raging over the unfairness of her being taken away but then finally comes to grips with it. A TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS kind of thing. Thank you again for giving Pantera another try. I think I'm going to send you in a new direction. You might like this new band.... Muhahahahaha!!!

[@MaddyReactions]

Aw

[@neilpatrickhairless]

It was actually about two people that were in a suicide pact together and only one followed through with it. Unlocking your car door or passing a cemetery is considered to be a way of inviting hitchhikers from the graveyard into your life according to some old school Southern cultures. It originally had more personal lyrics but they changed them hoping it wouldn't be too personal and open for interpretation to a wider audience

[@neilpatrickhairless]

*passing a cemetery with windows down

Glad you pick the full version

[@AMXhotrod]

Most really good rock songs are not unlike good sex, starting slow then building up as time progresses. Rock is full of great , slow building songs like Stairway to heaven , Cemetary gates, etc.

[@johnnykelley3727]

Pantera is one of the greatest metal bands of all time. Maddy you are HOT!!! Sorry had to throw that in there. Lol.

[@love68]

The song goes through the emotions of a funeral. Sadness, guilt, anger, and coming to peace with it all, or not. You've obviously haven't felt it. You will. Blessings. 🙏💛

[@realtorjames33]

Just stumbled onto your vid.. Loved it. Your reaction was hilarious and genuine at the same time.

[@karlbecker8775]

You talking about Henry Rollins? Nope. Also, if you are looking for a warm fuzzy feeling from Pantera, this and their cover of Planet Caravan are about all you get. Most people love them for how aggressive they are.

[@MaddyReactions]

Oooh

[@shawnsford7071]

​@@MaddyReactionsYeah definitely not Henry Rollins. I'm still catching up on your videos and if you did Liar I absolutely have to watch that one!! Great song!!

[@dontletherspeak7575]

Hollow is another good ballad of theirs. Soft for the first half, heavy in the second.

[@rogerallnut1577]

Nope, you don't get it.

Henry Rollins (Rollins Band) is the guy you are thinking of, but that is not him in the music video

[@NickPyke-ee4xk]

Agreed man, Henry Rollins is a lot bigger in stature, and much better with his words. And yea definitely not him :)

[@adamgilmore7081]

I haven’t listened to more than a few seconds but I already know you did something right that 95% get wrong. You are listening to the full version. I’m looking forward to this.

[@kranberryjones1449]

Yup!!!

[@TheGiiant]

I think this is one of the best metal songs! Love this one. It's sad and still magic

[@MaddyReactions]

Yes 🙌

[@harrymetalhead3776]

This song still gives me the shivers....

[@jamesreese7111]

The song is about grief and how it can leave you feeling lost and alone and how avoiding dealing with it will have long term effects. In the first part he said "when she died, I couldn't cry, the pride was in my soul" then later it changed to "when she died, I should have cried and spared myself some pain". The priest isn't who thought, the person you were thinking about is Henry Rollins.

[@ronnimetalpicodeathchamato6266]

My favorite PANTERA song, mainly because it shows how versatile they could have been had they kept going as long as METALLICA has been around. Sometime after 2000 the Abbot brothers and the singer parted ways. The bass player played with both camps on and off over the years that lead up to Dime's assassination (from an angry PANTERA fan). Rex and Phil have recently revived the band as a tribute to the Abbot brothers (who are both gone now) with Zakk Wylde (one of Dime's closest friends) on guitar. I can't recall the drummer playing with them now, but he is well-known.

[@MaddyReactions]

Oooh!

[@FuckYoutubeAndGoogle]

Describing the jackass who killed Dime as "an angry Pantera fan" is incredibly disingenuous.

[@notabot6837]

I can't speak for everyone, but when I watch a reaction video I'd like to see the person being moved by something that has moved me. Pantera doesn't sit in a genre that appeals to everyone, but musically they were geniuses. That being said Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb, imo is one of the most moving songs (musically) ever written. Their lyrics are philosophy and the guitarist is like no other. You should probably react to studio versions as most of the time that's going to be the best version

[@2DclanSnipingTeam]

90% of all Rock and Roll lyrics are cryptic. That's part of the allure. They mean something different to each listener.

[@DarthRaider520]

Dime is the greatest guitarist to ever live and nothing will change my mind. This song barely scratches the surface of his talent.

Speaking of _"Intense"..._ Fact is... "I'm Broken" was just a punch to the stomach compared to this... Cemetery Gates is rather like a punch to our soul! Sang with all my lungs at the _Gods Of Metal_ in Milan back in the day when Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath were back together again for the "Reunion" album. I was there, one bour show right before Black Sabbath. My first ever Heavy Metal _live_ concert... the best experience of my entire 5O years of a lifetime ever. PS: as many other will say to you... their song _"Walk"_ is another pearl you cannot miss, Maddy...
