I never expected to see such a huge crowd for 88’ Pantera, this is sick

[@sguerilla6142]

I'm glad someone recorded this epic moment in Heavy Metal history. There is no reason to comment on the solo part, the rhythm part, or the guitar in general, and I see people doing that. Just to add, Dime has everything in his little finger and he is only 22 years old. They played "No remorse" better than Metallica and the last fast part.... monstrous. There is no better frontman than Phli from the early years, until 1994. His appearance, his demeanor, his evolution from glam-power metal singer to urban-groove MC is amazing. This should be shown in schools so that children and young people can see what a band looks like at the beginning of a mega career, a band that saved Heavy Metal. Thanks for the video.

[@themadmattster9647]

I really think they were just plain heavy metal or bands that were in between traditional heavy metal and glam like Keel. Doesn’t really matter though since it kicks ass. Metal Magic was the weakest of the early stuff though even that had the title track which was full speed metal

[@vladimirvladstorf]

They're not even meant to be glam metal, but during this period they were literally one of the greatest glam metal bands ever despite hiding all their glam years on Spotify and KZbin

[@integrity101]

They arent hiding anything

[@GenerationDown]

In a way they always hid these years from their main discography. They didn’t acknowledge the first four records as Pantera records once CFH came out. The crowd would have gone wild if they busted out one of these tunes once in a while for fun lol

[@integrity101]

Again if the band wanted to "hide" these albums it would have been easy to get lawyers involved and go after the stores making a fortune selling bootlegs of the 80s albums. THEY DIDNT. They just stopped promoting them and ordering new vinyls etc. Also they arent "hidden" on spotify. Warner doesn't own that music so they can't sell out. Same as the website

[@deimos2k6]

For certain aspects, they were doing better at that time... Not only the young age, but rather the power and passion they were putting into it.

[@panteraclips]

Deimos Station musically they were at their peak between 1988-1992 imo.

[@GlowingOneBright]

This just shows how amazing Phil's voice was! I know Dimebag gets most of the fame usually because of his unfortunate passing and guitar style, but Phil's vision and showmanship propelled the band to even greater heights. Best metal frontman? In this age; in the past; and in the future: Philip H. Anselmo.

[@efwfew]

He sang a ton on the final album. Power Metal is cool tho. What makes Pantera special is every album is very different.

[@shermanchester68]

All their albums are frigging great. Even shattered voice late ‘90’s STK Phil is brutal and awesome.

[@edybocman76]

na man he always sang and he was one of the first dude to make heavy vocals whit melodic to so the only album that he don"t sang to much is the great soundkill but again there are song like floods and suicide note part 1 and 10s that are melodic songs in some parts so that just that you like power vocal like judas priest only nothing more

[@guitarheaven1747]

@@edybocman76 One of my favorite songs from late has to be their cover of hole in the sky, shows best how Phil could sing and scream combined, screaming was also way more on point than during TGST. And while I love many songs of that album too, vocally it's especially the calmer ones that get me, felt like there was just more to them

[@paranormalgamesstudios]

Bands like Metallica and Slayer definitely changed Pantera for the better, fuckin awesome to see the evolution of them get heavier from glam to blunt force metal.

[@guitarheaven1747]

Though the troubles from the mid 90's, as well as Phil's vocal decline, compared to what he's delivering here and early CFH era is something I always miss. I love the hard stuff, yes, but... there's something about that less dark, simply in your face banging metal that always brings me the most fun listening to the band

[@GenerationDown]

@@guitarheaven1747 Vocal evolution*** not decline. There’s no way he could have kept singing like this. It was cool for the time, CFH is super fun and is an example of machine-like metal precision derived from a life of growing up in their dads studio, but Phil found his true voice on Vulgar and the ultimate Pantera sound that made them the legends they are today.

Hey man, you seem to know a good deal about Pantera's early days. Hoping you can answer a question that's been bugging me for years: what is the name of the song Pantera used as their intro music in the late 80's/early 90's? The best version I can find is "Domination" in Moscow but it's also on the "Joe's Garage" video too. I've checked out all 4 of Pantera's "glam" albums & I don't hear it there, but that's definitely Dime's guitar tone on that song. Many thanks if you can help.

I could never get into their early albums before 1990, but I do like the Power Metal album because it's the only other place Phil does the shrieking high pitched vocals from Cowboys From Hell. Pantera definitely changed for the better by taking influence from the 80's thrash stuff that bands like Metallica/Slayer were doing at the time and innovating it into their own trademark style of southern/blues inspired metal.

Why did Phil have to change this band so much and get so heavy and act so tough and then try to act so cool all the time and then never sing ever again like this on any other albums but power metal and some on cowboys from hell but not much of it ever again?? I love the first 3 original albums to without Phil they are amazing! I like there first 4 albums the best and the 5th cowboys album to was great but then rest of the albums are good to but I got out of the screaming stuff and like this stuff better now and me knowing what they could have been playing like this it’s very disappointing what Phil did to this band and what he took away from them! It sounds so much better like this rock sound and they would have been probably the best number one band in the whole world if they would have just stuck with this style of rock and would be up there with Judas Priest and Iron maiden and all the big ones and there music would of got to the whole world instead of just the metal fans out there!? Phil is kind of a waste of great talent and just threw everything away and lost his voice trying to act tough and trying to look cool all the time instead of just sing great and have fun and then him smoking his cigarettes and screaming all the time he just destroyed his beautiful voice!? Phil once had the most beautiful voice on the whole planet and cemetery Gates proves it right there! But he stopped singing one day and just wanted to scream and that’s it and that’s all he ever did after!??? Why would you throw away your cemetery gate voice and power metal why!??? That question keeps me up at night!!!??? The best singer in the whole world and he doesn’t want to sing anymore and he just wants to scream his songs out why destroy that beautiful voice??? 80s Pantera kicks ass!!!
