Pantera: How Far Beyond Driven Made Music History

[@rnrtruestories]

Favourite Pantera album? By the way here's the link to the Great Southern Trendkill video I did kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4bRYn-HrL96obM

Cowboys From Hell. And my favorite track is Medicine Man! That song really showed what Phil could do for his vocal range. And it's a killer track by the whole band!

[@LaidbackChristianLifestyle]

Cowboys… the first pantera song I ever heard was domination….. blew my mind and melted my soul. Shaped me into the metal head I am today.

I met Pantera at Camelot music in Mayfield heights Ohio, was one of the first 10 inside and had my limited edition far beyond driven album with the screw going up the ass cover signed. They took the time and b.s with each and every fan. it was an experience. I miss in store band signings.

That is one of the takeaways of the digital age. However, we all know the music world don't like the whole digital thing because of Napster, Spotify, and what not? But, if they, shit, if we.... and they... all had a vote to choose to go back to the way things were back then or keep things as they are for all of us now. Truth be told. No one is voting for the return of the way things were. That's because we would have to give up our phones. All the personal entertainment & knowledge this little box of chips, wires, and circuit boards provides us all with throughout each minute and each second of our daily lives. Fuck that !!!!!!

Nativity in Black is the best tribute album ever. Even if Sabbath's sound was a little too old school for some metal heads, it really shows how great their writing and riffs were because they sound good coming out of so many other styles. (The second one had its moments too!)

Oh yeah! Love Far Beyond Driven is a great album. The big thing in 1994 was all the pop punk stuff like Green Day, etc. The Alternative machine was at full speed with Bush and the Foo Fighters.

I'm 44 in 2022 and still jam out to Pantera. Every album is heavier than the one before. I hated to see them fall apart and then the horrible tragedies that followed. Phil always gets the blame. But it wasn't him. The pain caused the addiction. And the addiction was what destroyed everything. If you've been there, you know I'm speaking truth. If you haven't, then you can't possibly understand.

F. grunge. I came of age in the early 90s and Pantera was like a bright, golden path away from that weak music that suddenly so popular. Pantera was music I felt and got energy from, and I still appreciate and enjoy what they made. Pantera is so good.

[@Weshopwizard]

That album is AWESOME!!! 🤘🏻

[@Marcd4DeathVideos]

My favorite Pantera albulm is still vulgar display. With that said I am proud to say I seen Pantera live 17 different times before the year 2001. Definitely the best metal show I ever seen was when I seen them with Megadeth and White Zombie. My cousin and I got thrown out for being too rough in the pit. We snuck back in like 2 minutes after getting the boot and continued being rough while in the pit🤕 This is some of the best memories I ever had in my life. Thanks Pantera! And I will be at the tribute shows next year, but probably not in the pit, too much!

[@phatnana2379]

"Cowboys From Hell" and "Vulgar Display of Power" are definitely INCREDIBLE albums but "Far Beyond Driven" is definitely my favorite Pantera album! Opening with Strength Beyond Strength could not be more perfect!! That song RIPS with the opening hardcore style riff that eventually evolves into a super sludgy (possibly their BEST) breakdown! Then the rest of the album's grooves are just heavy AF!

Phil Anselmo made the band, the fucked-up his voice, his back and, eventually, the band itself. It is truly a tragic story.

[@huwhitecavebeast1972]

Phil is the man. I give him props for saying the most politically incorrect thing a person can say at this time.

[@83442handle]

One crazy thing I just noticed is that Pantera ultimately never sold that many albums considering how popular they are. Despite debuting at #1 Far Beyond Driven only went gold that year and didn't get platinum status until 1997. Vulgar Display of Power was at platinum until 2004 then it went double. Incredibly loyal fan base and the band never sold out(or you could say they imploded before any legacy could be tarnished which is what happens to most bands that stick around for long enough.....like Megadeth/Metallica....etc

Its pretty easy to find. Before Anselmo joined they released the album Metal Magic which is just plain hair metal sounding to my ears (I'm too young to know a lot about hair metal).

He kept making fun of Metallica in their own town and kept complaining that they had to stop the show at whatever time, otherwise the staff got paid overtime. He easily wasted 20 minutes complaining that could have been used to actually play music. What a nightmare! It was a good show otherwise.
