They went to their local record shop and the kid had never heard of them so thought they meant Pantera and set my grandparents up with the "vulgar display of power" cassette, man was that a shock for Christmas, the heaviest thing I had listened to up to that point was the scorpions.

I just saw Pantera at Ford Field in Detroit Michigan two weeks ago. I was wondering if Phil would still have a good solid voice after all these years and HE WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! The entire band did not disappoint. Thank you for this review I love how excited you got!!! 😂😊

Fun fact: When Dimebag died, Eddie Van Halen snuck his bumblebee strat into Darell's coffin because Dimebag said it was his favorite guitar he had ever seen.

[@justanotherbrian]

Phil said that if he could go back in time and tell him, " when u die, you'll be buried with that guitar ", dimes immediate reply would have been" kill me right now mother fucker"

Metal enthusiasts really get a high from hearing music professionals compliment the music they appreciate. It really pulls on your heart strings a bit to know that you have an appreciation for something that legitimately has its place. That this is not some cheap imitation of something else but a real appreciable passion.

It’s awesome to see a classically trained singer to respond metal with her amount of excitement.
