[@Wangpi3ce]

Lazaros Mousios and what's wrong with making a comparison with pantera and rap? They actually have a lot in common. Rap and metal are two different cultures of people saying the same thing. It's "Fuck the establisment, I go my own way and do what the fuck I want, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it." It's two different forms of rebellion. Power to both.

[@jdturner1969]

Your a fucking idiot

[@themightyfp]

Now im sad thanks

[@Zacsondy]

This was them introducing themselves to the world. They are from Texas so they are cowboys, but they aren't like any cowboys the unsuspecting public would have expected. They were cowboys from hell.

[@NotANameist]

You said you want more Pantera: More Gangsta Pantera: "Walk" (a song about someone not putting respect on his name, assuming that I'm using that phrase right LOLOL) Something a little different, showing off their range: "Cemetary Gates"

[@lucassalazar5458]

yeeeees

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

NotANameist Walk is for sure the song to do!!!!

[@moonboy8552]

Duuude, 5 Minutes Alone

Mouth For War

[@chriswooldridge1301]

Pantera are the gods of groove. They will make your head nod. You're on point with it, man. They're talking shit. The band is from Texas and the vocalist is from New Orleans. There's no lack of guns in either location. Lol... Phil, the vocalist, has been known to have a bit of violence in him.

[@leempo1]

Man I fucking love hearing your input on these songs lol. Never did it occur to me that half the time Pantera was talking about the same shit gangster rappers are lmao. Thats great

[@DerKoali]

Interesting, never saw the similarities between Gangsterrap and those Songs from Pantera. But as you say this, jeah there are some. I´d stil say there is a difference. I never saw Pantera speaking through this song bout themrself, while i always associate a Gangsterrap act with what he is rapping about (not that i know THAT many acts). But jeah, you could see that aspects of the music and the liyyrics. Kind of blows my mind right now. It´s cool to expierience musik i know for such a long time through different (your) eyes and ears and see things from another angle. That´s why i like your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@joelw1082]

DerKoali it’s awesome. You appreciate it all over again!! Fuckin-A-right (yeah, I’m a middle-aged metalhead. What can I say? No apologies🤘🏼)

[@themightyfp]

2000!!!!! Subs!!!! Thanks everyone let’s keep it going can we get to 3? Appreciate your help and support peace ✌️ Be well!

[@helmedon]

Awesome! Pretty quickly too. Then again, I don't have a channel so what the fuck do I know?

[@helmedon]

Taking the time to respond to comments will do that.

[@linzyaz920]

Congrats on 11K subs. Love your channel! Keep up the great music and real reactions. 👍🏻💕🎤🎶🥁🎧🎸

[@fku76]

Pantera 5 minutes alone...that's a response to a parent of a fan that was talking shit. Talk about gangster!! Also Phil is trains in boxing and has since being a kid in New Orleans

[@craigmatthews4289]

It's more cowboy than gangster which the title of the song makes clear. Pantera was from Texas.

[@themightyfp]

craig matthews definitely some real apocalyptic hardcore cowboys vibe I get from this one now that I’ve listened again 😆 super hard. Peace ✌️

[@williammontroy9024]

Gangsta metal is definitely how I'd describe walk by Pantera

[@dakuhol]

finally been waiting for you to react on this song and a great reaction . am getting new perspective and listening to the old song from a whole other angle so keep them coming . love your videos

[@raistlinrodriguez5696]

The song is talking about old west outlaws coming into town and taking over.

[@bobbyntanya]

Do "This Love" Pantera

[@BurgerwithFries1]

Bobby Starnes The full studio version though and not the music video, as it's a stripped down version

[@wootendaniel40]

I love your perspective on metal. The dirt bike reaction is hilarious but super on point!

[@danielgray2909]

That is some deep shit bro.. It IS all the same and ppl DONT wanna get outside their comfort zone. So fkn true man, tight work. And thank you for making my day.

[@davhas35]

Great vids bro, they remind me of the first time I heard a lot of these songs. And a great statement "We all go through the same shit."

[@michaellorden8150]

Keep up the great work sir, glad you give all this stuff a try

[@theotherbrotherali5923]

Isn't it incredibly interesting how once you venture into other genres of music you see and hear just how similar they really are? It gives you an insight and new appreciation for your particular choice of music. I'm an old school Hip Hop Head as well but I love metal, punk, and even bluegrass. Finding beauty in the broader spectrum of music makes me love Hip Hop so much more. Keep it up my brotha.

[@jasperlit1345]

DUDE you fricking crack me up!! AWESOME reaction/interpretation definite subscribe:)

[@teemumyyrylainen9247]

In 90's this used to be one of the last songs before going to ice in hockey game. The ultimate chest bump song,, played out so damn loud from boombox that opposing team could hear it and us singing along LOUD .. I bet this song was one of the main reason why we allways won the first round of game. We just toke no prisoners on tackling game nor in shooting slapshot's ... Anyway.. Thank you brothers , without your music id never been man i am today. Gotta love having fun and brotherhood , Good music and few blacktooth's .

[@leobasurto187]

react to pantera-walk

[@matthewsullivan6652]

Love your channel bro. Nice to see someone actually listen to the music and appreciate it regardless if you like it or not. Keep it up dude and keep cursing lol.

[@belewda]

You totally opened my eyes to a new perspective. This song is absolutely a metal version of gangster rap! I dig it.

[@MetalMonkey]

I like that you put some trivia on the videos, that's something new (for me anyway)

[@darrellwaller6205]

If you are in Houston, I'll be at the AMC theater watching Infinity War on Thursday night. Let's go! I love your vids because they give a different perspective. I never cared for Pantera or this genre of music, but you putting in the context of gangsta rap makes sense to me. I like the softer more melodic stuff with deep lyrics opposed to "look at what a badass I am" kinda stuff.

[@themightyfp]

Darrell Waller Avengers let’s go!!!!!! Lol

[@TubeScavenger]

I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passing by. All my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy. Such deep lyrics. 8-D Unskinny Bop, all night and day, Unskinny bop bop bop bop, she just loves to play, yeah. Too much deep. XD

[@Sybreeds]

Never did i ever think of a dirt bike sound till u said it but so true

[@adamthrasher3326]

Keep up the good work bro. I enjoy your reactions

[@kyleburton9352]

Love your reactions to these metal songs! I've got recommendation for a Metal Monday somewhere down the road. It's a group project of multiple artists called Avantasia, and the song is called Let the Storm Descend Upon You.

[@themightyfp]

Kyle Burton just added it thanks for the help this song is super long 😂 I’ll how I work it again thank you

[@kyleburton9352]

Rap Rat Trapped you're definitely not wrong there, bud!

[@kyleburton9352]

That song came from their Ghostlights album, which has many shorter options for songs. The title track Ghostlights is pretty kickass as well and is only 5 minutes long, if that helps you out

[@mikeoxendine3902]

dawg I see you got your KZbin stuff on point now✌

[@axelfoley1406]

The 80's/90s was such a great time for all music genres and subgenres... Glam rock, thrash metal, heavy metal, groove, hard rock, r&B, RAP and hip hop, pop (MJ is still the KING), new wave, etc. 60s-70s was another favorite decade of music for me.

[@johnjackson9767]

You've got a interesting, honest take on these songs. Keep that shit up.

[@raynepromotions]

Pantera was originally a glam metal band in the 80’s and they had a longer band name “Pantera’s Metal Magic” but then shortened it to JUST Pantera. They named their independent label release with what was left of their original name, the album “Metal Magic” and also named their independent label “Metal Magic” as well too. They had Terry as a singer during this time. Then they wanted to change their style of music just a little and got Phil on vocals and became more aggressive with their music which fit perfectly with Phil’s vocals by 1990 when they finally got signed and released the album “Cowboys from Hell” It was their first major label release as they had 2-3 albums that they recorded with Terry and recorded at their dads studio. Dimebag Darrel was even offered lead guitarist for the metal band Megadeth before 1990 but Dimebag wanted his brother Vinnie Paul to also be in the band. But when Dave from Megadeth said no he turned down the gig to pursue his band with his brother and in so glad he did do that. Unfortunately we lost Dimebag to a psycho that killed him on stage after Phil and the bassist Rex weren’t returning the brothers phone calls about doing more with Pantera. So they formed another band called “Damageplan” and recorded and released their debut album and were out promoting it while doing club shows in which on the same day that John Lennon from the Beatles was killed (December 8th 1980) Dimebag was taken from us on December 8th 2004 (24 yrs later) in Columbus Ohio at a small club called “Alrosa Villa” if I remember correctly. Just a little bit of history for you.

[@mindfuct8862]

Just missed it 2,002 sUbs nice job. 🔥

[@richardwilkes2990]

When it came out the sound was new and heavier...they wanted you to know that they were the new Heavy metal band on the block and gonna kick your ass with metal! after their transformation from the what we'll call glam metal , it's kinda of a reinvention of themselves, thus the subject of the song....yeah, it's kinda "i'm the best rapper out there, no one can touch me" type thing....awesome connection. Everyone take care, peace.

[@50NewEyes]

Lol.another great reaction...go mate...

[@ppaulisdeadd2710]

8:34 "some shit about cowboys in hell - from hell - that's considered hard" You are so right about the parallels with gangsta rap - so much more in common than we've come to assume.

[@marklabonte3769]

R.I.P. Dime........one of my favorite guitarist ever and one of the greatest metal guitarist. Gunned down on stage during a show..............but he went out doing what he loved

[@marbzirc376]

What they're singing about in this song is that they're basically outlaws coming out of nowhere (they were practically unknown before this album came out), who would suddenly take over the town (metal music scene) with their double-barrel 12 gauge (unprecedented heavy and groovy shit). And take over, they did.

[@austinharris8709]

its actually talking to all the other bands at the time saying there taking over. they were from the south thats why they chose cowboys.

[@puppypower6491]

Rock and roll came from the blues...so did rap. It's all the same...It's great. Thanks Rap Rat. Awesome as hell...as usual.

[@rawgp5519]

Just saw this man.. One of my favorites growing up.. Great energy in this one.. Recommend: Sevendust.. Trust Waffle Shine Just a few man.. 🤘✌ Reediting because I want to say. Love what you say on 3:15 All about the relation... No matter what the music..

[@brianprice8815]

I think this combines a lot . They’re from Texas, the cowboys from hell and all...that may be just them on stage... playing their asses off. I enjoy watching you explore this

[@coltmagnus6572]

The bands all dominating the heavy metal scene.. Like Domination

[@redrum567]

7:25 - talking 1/2 time (beat, phrasing) while music keeps up tempo movements. Great reaction, bro! Enjoyed it \m/

[@Superbiist]

Appriciate your work. Still, would like you to venture in to a bit darker and harder stuff. Amorphis has a new song from their upcoming album, called The Bee, Nekrogoblikon has a new video from their new album called Dressed as Goblins. those would be really fun to see you react. Keep up!!

[@philliphersman362]

I've never heard anybody compare this song to gangster rap, but you fucking nailed it man. That's exactly what it is

[@davidd.6448]

It is essentially a rap song, lyrics-wise. Groovy as hell

[@smashmonster6760]

This is their 1st major album release. The album is Cowboys From Hell (CFH) and this song is titled CFH. This is not them being gangster it is a themed song. It is basically them telling the world they have arrived with a cowboy twist to the lyrics. Example: "High noon, your doom!" High noon was the time set for most street duals in the old west. The wild west cowboys were the wests 1st OGs.

[@67cuda38]

You really had to be at a club on the first tour to do this justice !!! You walked out feeling like you could take over the town !

[@pauljohnson3472]

I had not noticed that similarity before, very astute. Try Clutch - Careful With That Mic... Pantera - Walk or 5 Minutes Alone. Hail!

[@omnomnom11122]

Hell yeah, let's get some Clutch in here!

[@omnomnom11122]

Hey, of course I don't know if you know the song, but Simple Man would be awesome on a Whatever Wednesday. It's god damn beautiful. Subbed.

[@milew81]

Phil's Lyrical has always been underrated. Great lyricist. When I was like in 1st-5th grade all I really listened to was rap like NWA Wutang, Ice cube, etc in way early 90's so I liked that hard ass type music that had a mean beat with even meaner lyrics. When I moved and went to another school I was introduced to Pantera and never looked back. I had heard other bands that were metal/hardcore but nothing got me like Pantera. The guitar had me like, dude that is just like a dope ass rap beat, just faster and on a guitar!

[@larahill82]

Yeah, no joke they will fuck you up. Love that you recognize that. Keep it up, my dude.

[@gungriffen]

Cowboys from Hell was written in 1990. Also they're from Texas. Heavy Metal was "Street Music" 10 or so years prior to Gangster Rap. Drugs, gangs, wars, police corruption, politics, street fights, murder, racing, demons, religion, poverty etc were common in Metal from about 1978 forwards. There is a reason that when Public Enemy was starting they did "Bring the noise" with Anthranx who had already been around about 13 years.

[@RowdyGrunt]

Pantera were the real deal, hard charging, hard partying metalhead's, who pioneered their style of metal. Lyrically, sure, you could say that it's similar to Gangster Rap, but they were doing this kind of stuff early on. Few bands have ever been able to lay a groove to metal like Pantera. Funny thing, this isn't even the heaviest music they've done; not by a long shot.

[@Nosferata138]

Dirt bike on your chest. That is an amazing analogy. Love it.

[@MarktheAirsoftPrimate]

I listen to both Metal and Rap, there are A LOT of similarities between them, subscribed

[@cjcutter1571]

Cowboys from Hell great stuff!

[@johncampbell756]

Pantera - Walk has that gangsta lyric vibe as well, and it's great.

[@helmedon]

Gangsta rap developed from hard core rap. This style of metal evolved from hard rock. they appeared roughly the same time, mid/late 80's. I think this came out in 1990.

[@themightyfp]

Well people appreciate the support but I just caught a copyright strike for my Rage against the machine live show and it was taken down. I’m new to this any suggestions on how to avoid this in the future would be appreciated. Sorry for the issues. Peace ✌️

[@robertgearhart]

what I've seen work for other reactors I watch is putting a disclaimer at the beginning saying I don't own this video I have no rights to it this is just my reaction something like that usually helps with that

[@themightyfp]

basseon I e actually been emailing with thanks he’s been very helpful

[@marchendrickson2382]

This song is all about where they come from, they're from Texas. (aside from Phil Anselmo who came from New Orleans) Being from Texas, the stereotype is to expect cowboy songs, country music, etc. But these guys are more than a little different. Thus the cowboys from hell. When you get into songs like Cemetery Gates, that's where they start getting into deeper subject matter.

[@stankeye0154]

Do Pantera cemetery gates please

[@turkeytrailhoneybeefarmgeo6292]

Rap Rat Trapped don't review songs by commie socialist. They ain't as giving as they would have you believe.

[@DudeFarooqi]

The tempo keep you groovin cause its Groove Metal lmao. I'm not even kidding yo.

[@niteranger]

I think people that listen to certain genres of music, IE Metal heads get to entrenched into their type of music, they are afraid to admit they like the beat of some rap.. I'm a metal head, and I like some rap, some country, all kinds, I imagine its the same with rappers. People get entrenched into their genre and people try to shame them for "liking that rap crap!!" or "liking that metal devil music shit!!" most metal bands, are just normal dudes that like heavy music. Just like rappers are just guys that like to spit hard lyrics. Like you said, when you get right down to it, we all the same, just some of us are afraid to admit it or reach across to those "opposite" of us and learn about others. Kinda sad when you think about it.

[@THEMASTEROFYOU2000]

One thing about just responding to the tunes, it leaves out the context of what was happening at the time of the recording. For instance these dudes Pantera, were young, from Texas and the father of the two brothers (guitar and drummer) was a country music producer song writer etc. Can you imagine dad letting them practice in his studio playing their music?. Hence from Texas, they were cowboys, tipping their hats to Dad, yet being so outrageous for the time, they were the cowboys from hell, lol. These guys created an entire metal genre, and lived as hard as they played, becoming heros with rabid fanbase. Also known for their honest friendly nature in person.I know, they were and are great guys.

[@grendeltech]

I've always thought metal and rap were more similar to each other than either side's fans realized or wanted to admit. I always liked when that stuff crossed over or blended. Like Ice-T forming Body Count? I still love that band.

[@FingerBrokenBranches]

100% correct about the similarity between this and rap and anyone who disagrees is scared to even try the other side. 👍

[@GarforthProductions]

My take on this song is that it is Pantera's introduction to the world. Every band, especially these days has a "this is who I am" song. People still call them the cowboys from hell. I'd equate it to "my name is" by Eminem or something like that. It introduces you to their style, their lyrics and their attitude. You should watch some of their tour videos, they're fucking nutty, and Dimebag is one of the best guitarists you will ever listen to... you should cover some of their tracks where his guitar work is heavily featured.

[@Jason-er1vf]

your exactly right, gangsa rap was a response to the genre becoming mainstream and commercialized, same as thrash metal and punk rock being a response to hair and glam metal.

[@cybrunel1016]

Dirt bike peeling out on my chest...I get it tho...nice analogy. Word !

[@rahbeat9785]

it's not about spitting like gangsta rap, it's about pure raw energy !=]

[@jamesdockery1604]

Friday night live-Pearl Jam Black unplugged or some live Staind Keep up the good work, enjoy the channel. If you do more PANTERA my suggestion is THIS LOVE

[@outlawxiii8260]

the song is exactly what it says, a group of cowboys from hell got bored and came here to start some shot. period.

[@TrollingInTheDeep]

The next song that you should react is Cemetery Gates by themselves

[@sandspider]

Another Great reaction if you wanna do more Pantera here are a couple of songs- Mouth of War and I'm Broken

[@aleksandarjonjic1768]

Try Halestorm- Love Bites. Its a modern metal band with skilled members, and one of my all time favourite female singers.

[@BATTIS94]

I see what you mean with the lyrics. I always say that -some- metalheads are a bit hypocritical when they talk about rap lyrics, I mean, metal is full of this "badass", "in your face", "I'm gonna fuck you up" kind of lyrics. I think the main difference is that metal community focus a lot more in the instrumental side of the songs, lots of metalheads play some instrument and for most bands the lyrics are an afterthought. If a metalhead reacts to rap music I guarantee the first thing he will say is "Oh god! The music is so boring and repetitive! Is the same loop over and over again and a guy rapping over it". But if you just read the lyrics (and sometimes the delivery too, because pantera has lots of "talk singing" in their verses, so it kinda sounds like rapping) metal and rap have some similarities. Anyway, keep it up with your reactions! Love Pantera, gotta love that groove and that guitar solo!

[@DaBoogalou]

Pantera could have started a war during their prime

[@andrewlaw]

Daniel Kirk Man, every gig was a battle zone! Happy days. Saw them at the Marquee when they broke, people were diving off the P.A, off the balcony and running over the top of the crowd! Pepper Keenan did a backflip off the stage and broke his ankle as well. 😂

[@maggotaddict9354]

That video had a some screw ups in the lyrics, for example, at one point it said "its been slow, down below". The actual song goes "this pistol, down below, aimed at you, were the cowboys from hell".

[@greatriffishere]

Pantera is a metal band from Texas and the album came out in 1990!!

[@cy_kotic3502]

King 810 - tied to a whipping post, I think you'll enjoy his king's vocal delivery and cadence.

[@jasongreen9638]

Right you said it all same

[@50NewEyes]

U up with it, they just sayin they the hardest metal band around.....go mate....

[@justinleach5023]

You are right

[@nealdown9078]

I'm a year late, but if you havent done a reaction to it, Pantera - 5 minutes alone. And the backstory to the song is one to look up before you give it a listen just so you know how the song came about.

[@chriskeel3096]

its exactly what you think my friend. what it really is, is that cultural differences arent all that different at all

[@johnmccullough6540]

Another awesome reaction!! More Pantera: Walk, 5 minutes Alone. Friday Night Live: Nightwish “Phantom of the Opera” End of an Era show. WTF Wednesday: B-52s “Rock Lobster”. And still anxiously awaiting Metallica’s “Small Hours”

[@213amp]

I was lucky to see them in concert 12 times 🤘 RIP DIME

[@timish71]

Music is music doesn't matter what style. it's all about the delivery and the interpretation

[@keithmelton3741]

I love the fuck out of this reaction from you, they started out in 83 as a party spandex band, kicked ex singer out took on phill, and took off heavy as f in the 90s Like you said you heard this kinda rough real shit before, let us be honest the 90s were the last of that rough shit across the whole board, so in the mix of NWA, Snoop, 2 tac, This band carried metal through all that bullshit, yet loved grunge rock time to the other side so we could get bands like slipknot, rage atm, soad, god smack, Pantara didn't let up they keep the fire burning, and lets face it, They kicked ass and never asked for one fucking name

[@warfare73]

love your reactions... can you react to Manowar - Return of the warlord

[@jasongreen9638]

There talking about when they come to new town thay sale out and in the 90

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

It came out 24th July, 1990, so you were right on the money there.

[@adamgilmore7081]

RIP Vinnie Paul. Nice to see you put the small bit of info on the band. Funny thing. Terry Lee Glaze was the original singer but he was replaced before the band went big. He wasn't as good as Phil.
