Pantera - Mouth For War (Reaction/First Listen!)

[@Bootlegbrew]

A lot of what you hear in the background is Rex, the bassist. He never gets the love he deserves but when Dime goes into his solos Rex will fill the background. He’s an underrated beast of a bass player.

[@new_zealand_murder_history]

Yea Rex is good on the bass. I saw them play in wellington in the year 2000, it was really good

[@NHndrsn1234]

I’m really enjoying you discovering my favorite band. It’s magic 🤘🏽

[@nikkireviews]

Glad you're enjoying it! ☺️ thank you for watching 💛

[@fthomason93]

Finally people are reacting to songs other then walk domination and cowboys lol thank you!

[@yomomma107]

The solo on domination still gives me chills every time I hear it 🤘👿🤘

[@sianefer-ptah1258]

Even my daughter likes the Dom solo...and she's not a fan of metal at all, lol

[@LEDZEP769]

Best live solo ever at the Russian festival.

[@MichaelHart-cy4ph]

Definitely Epic

[@richardl9242]

My FAVORITE Pantera song and overall one of my favorites of all time across all genres. Nothing gets me pumped like this bad boy here! "Can't be the rest, let others waste my time Owning success is the bottom line" & "Pulling and punching the rest of duration No one can piss on this determination" - I start my day doing a grueling workout listening to this gem right here and then I'm ready to take on the world! 😁

[@scottmarchant8844]

Great reaction to my favorite Pantera song!

[@nikkireviews]

Thank you! ☺️

[@scottmarchant8844]

I really enjoy the format for your reactions. Keep up the good work!🤘

[@Wargasm54]

That was 31 years ago. I remember going to the show for this tour (Vulgar Display of Power). Absolutely brutal. Fuck I’m old 😂

[@nikkireviews]

Wow, that's awesome that you got to go

[@97warlock]

I just heard the guitar Dive low E as he was doing the solo towards the end of the solo, never heard it until now. 2nd guitar track.

[@dominicdambrosio7904]

yes thank you! your Awesome!

[@TGG239]

True King of Metal , saws these boys first in 94 and most recently in Feb of 24

[@drh3280]

Pantera is so good to have in our life. I’m glad to hear much about your adventures. Party on.

[@esoterica412]

HELL YEAH 🤘🏽 I love this song, album, AND PANTERA 😈🤘🏽

😁

[@canonthomasen3219]

Legends! The greatest to ever do it! 💯

[@bufordteejustice1119]

Just saw them a few weeks ago. Great show and a fitting tribute. Thanks for sharing

[@nikkireviews]

That's awesome you got to see them! ☺️ thanks for watching!

[@CHRISTIANS1977]

The kings of metal. Period 🤘🏻

[@ernestolopez23]

Its all good I couldn’t tell what he was singing back when i first heard this song now i can sing this in my sleep lol. Soo cool you checked them out

[@nikkireviews]

Haha that's awesome. And yeah, I really like their stuff! They always get flagged or taken down it seems but I enjoy the info from the fans for as long as it stays up 😂

[@ernestolopez23]

@@nikkireviews awesome, really glad you enjoy their stuff. At the end of the day it’s about their music and the joy they bring to us the fans 👍🏼

[@craigbush9449]

This band are unlike any other. The groove is just amazing

[@LaurenBrokees]

Next do reaction to Come On from Oktaf Kanis, thank youuu Nikki 💕

[@josephlozano6705]

She was talking about when dime dumped the whammy and let the strings flop. Like on the intro of primal concrete sledge intro.

[@jakobl9711]

pantera is the best, this is one of my fav songs! 5 minutes alone, rise, becoming, a new level, shedding skin, and sooooo many others are worth a listen. glad you enjoyed!

[@aaronchapman3]

I'm new to the channel so you may have already done it but if you're checking out Pantera you should definitely listen to This Love

[@nikkireviews]

I have not! I'll add it to my list to check out though. Thank you!

[@pazwretzky4673]

seeing how happy you were watching this video put a big smile on my face, I also agreed with your added analysis after hearing the comment you read, other Pantera songs to check out are, I'm Broken, 5 Minutes Alone, This Love, Walk...it's a shame you missed seeing them because of traffic, but on the bright side, everyone stuck in traffic with you missed them as well 😄

[@Chaotic-Demise77]

This was the 1st album I was introduced to back in high school, then I found the 1st album CFH. After that, I was hooked...mom didn't care for them, lol. Here am I now, 46, still jamming to them amongst other metal bands'. I was a Roady for a few years and have worked with a few metal bands and bands "layer" their songs to also get those certain affects. When you, the fan/customer listen to the final product, you hear the effects.

[@infernalmachine8417]

PanterA

[@julianpopov6742]

Absolute legends 🤘🤘🤘! For their real live experience (if you haven’t already)- check out the Moscow live version of Domination- you’ll be blown away

[@Artimesia]

I'd forgotten how awesome this song is, I hope you watch more from them, they're music has a real groove to it that packs a punch, I remember seeing their song This Love in the polls before, definitely worth checking out as are off the top of my head Five Minutes Alone, Walk, I'm Broken, which are all bangers

[@estevaobotelho2231]

Pantera is absolutely classic

[@nikkireviews]

For sure. 😁 I need to check out more!

[@josephvandiver6912]

A perfect metal song

[@ViolentBaalism]

Glad you did this song, this is my favorite by them.

[@Ztorm.369]

Que linda nenita

[@user-hj4nc6gy1i]

Great at least your listening mout for war from Pantera

[@nikkireviews]

I wanna get back to more Pantera! Soon. 😁

[@elex117]

You and your smile is so cute.

[@tonykubilius9971]

Awesome you were able to load this great song by Pantera😍🤘🤘 Any way Zombie from Frog Leap Studios can be on the next poll?

[@scottbroughton7189]

Old school plenty of good tunes enjoy

[@JoaoMASilva]

This is the perfect song to workout!

[@LEDZEP769]

That riff is one of my favorites, makes you want rip it up. Dime just had that superior feel and ability to come up with bad ass riffs and solos. Saw Pantera three times including the final tour and at 61 I still crank this and all the rest of the phenomenal music these 4 amazing dudes put out. After seeing the original band I cant bring myself to seeing them without Dime and Vinnie. If you experienced them live you know what Im talking about. ✝️ RIP DIME 🎸 AND 🥁 VINNIE CFH FOREVER!!!

[@joealvarez8733]

This was the song that my little brother introduced me to this, my all time favorite band from the 90s, Pantera...my 1A to my 1B, TOOL....

[@eduardospazzano295]

The 'layered' sound you hear behind/ under the fast picked notes/ runs, is the 'rhythm' guitar part. The fast runs is the 'lead/ solo' guitar part. Rhythm and lead/ solo parts are very standard in all rock/ metal music. It is akin to 'harmony' and 'melody' parts in an orchestra piece. Harmony = Rhythm and Melody = Lead/ Solo. :-)

[@leddygee1896]

All these lyrics are self empowering. Self reliance and strength... As it should be.

[@joshhefner8179]

I was at both nights at Metlife both nights were great.

[@nikkireviews]

Same here! That's awesome you were too 😁 Glad you had a good time!

[@sorinbunea471]

The riff from the start is out of this world

[@kevin_nagle]

Im from Jersey and saw the tribute to Pantera. I can’t believe you missed them!!!!!! This is probably the only time you’ll see them together. Im fortunate have to have seen them when I was 14 in Asbury Park Convention Hall my 18 y/o sister got me and saw them at two other handful of shows including the tribute show. FUCK!! I would have gotten out and walked to MetLife Stadium to even hear them!

[@DarthRaider520]

Dimebag forever!

[@user-mn1ee7xz9w]

Would you please do , PanterA - nothing on but the radio offa METAL MAGIC.

[@Strik.9]

Just went to the tribute concert. Phil Anselmo is still a fuckin Chad at 55.

[@ryanwoolsey6972]

You really need to listen to this on the track cause the end of this song and the beginning of ‘A New Level’ are seem less and make both songs blend beautifully…:)

[@joeferro5884]

do “ I’m Broken “ next !

[@deniss1473]

Pantera!🔥🇷🇺🤘

[@nikkireviews]

🤘😁

[@blackpatflynn]

good job in being able to separate and enjoy both the rhythm and lead guitar tracks

[@blackpatflynn]

It's funny because for one, I really wanted to understand and notice what you were talking about. Alot of people not use to metal rock or guitar stuff have a hard time explaining and using terms....u explained it super well and I totally understood what u were noticing and I'm very surprised it caught your attention like it did. Good job. Your reactions are very genuine. Also thank you for liking my comment that's rare lol. Keep up the good work beautiful girl!

[@henryrmarliniii8360]

That is actually, Rex playing the same riff. If you listen closely, you can hear. That riff, is being played.

[@kingofshit303]

Pantera and Rage Against the Machine were my favorites as a teen.

[@Strik.9]

My analysis, just as a fan, I believe is obvious in the lyrics: Shitty people want to bring other people down to their level. He overcame the vitriol of lesser mentalities and is stronger for it. Life can get you down, but never accept defeat. Sometimes you have to dig real deep in your soul to overcome adversity. Anger can be a useful tool for your mental health if channeled properly and used for motivation.

[@dominicdambrosio7904]

Next you got a watch domination live

[@nikkireviews]

I did and it got blocked, twice. So I can really dispute it anymore. ☹️ A lot of people liked that one though!

[@dominicdambrosio7904]

its alright im just a Major Pantera fan

[@MsCruisein]

I got a chair thrown at me last night in the pit at Pantera/Lamb of God. :)

[@nikkireviews]

Oh no! Are you okay? 👀

[@MsCruisein]

@@nikkireviews Yeah, it was awesome!

Btw, as a long time fan, he says "channel my head to productive." Not "hate." Edit: I know Im right. The lyrics were on the CD cover. Listen.

[@sumonjamal1653]

Phil Anselmo (vocals) said he wrote the opening riff (Phil played guitar on his Superjoint Ritual records later on) and then gave it to Dimebag Darrell (guitar) who added his flair and his own riffs... and 'Mouth for war' came together in 1992 - the opening song for the album 'Vulgar display of power'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥 I remember hearing about Pantera and getting 'Vulgar display of power' on tape around '93 and that record just blew my mind... there was nothing like it out there. Pantera took the thrash metal influences and fused it w/ a groove and power that put them at the head of the heavy metal pack. Even as grunge and alternative rock took over the 90's, Pantera were literally crushing it as an extreme metal band in a decade that was hostile to heavy metal. Even Metallica decided to change their sound and image to the 90's rock trends... Pantera refused to conform and got heavier w/ each record.

[@nielgregory108]

Don't be delusional like all these people. Pantera is loooooooooong GONE! 2 parts DO NOT MAKE A WHOLE. Nostalgia is a powerful drug and it has people deluding and or outright lying to themselves. I'm sure it's enjoyable. It is NOT Pantera. - REAL Pantera fan since '87.

[@fitzeefreshvids1888]

Can we not have lyrics and video? Most of us know the lyrics but at first we all need lyrics rock metal it’s a reaction video how are we supposed to get 100% reaction when your unsure the subject or meaning your really reacting to the instruments, it’s a automatic no when people say they’re a reaction channel but don’t care enough to print out a copy look them up before recording, bringing in subscribers takes some effort.

[@nikkireviews]

At the beginning of the channel, I used to look up what songs were about before listening but then people told me it's not a genuine reaction if I go in already knowing what the song is about. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I typically talk about the lyrics/meaning more after the first listen. But I can understand if that's not your style.
