Pantera - Rock The World

Track 1 from the 1988 album, Power Metal.
LYRICS:
In these times of confusion and sin.
We must redeem our human ways.
This force that fights to live will fight till it dies.
And rise again to save the day.
We all, rock, rock the world!
We all, rock, rock the world!
The power grows to destroy this flag of hate.
That waves so high in the air.
We raise our fists in rebellion we stand.
Our hungry hearts set the snare.
We all, rock, rock the world!
We all, rock, rock the world!
Ageless as time.
Change is revealed.
We will rock for you.
We all, rock, rock the world!
We all, rock, rock the world!
Rock!
Rock, rock the world!
Rock!
Rock, rock the world!

I don't know why Pantera ignored their 80s past. It's solid.

[@godzillasimpson8357]

Phil asselmo is responsible for that. No wonder Vinnie Paul hated him.

[@craigrawlinson4310]

@@godzillasimpson8357 rip vinnie Paul and dime

[@jhkuno88]

It's because many of their songs and style were total ripoffs from other bigger bands of the time, which is normal they were kids. They started over with their own thing with CFH.

[@Kriegter]

@@jhkuno88 that was more of the glam metal stuff. This though is awesome. I mean it's the most cliched 80s sound ever but that's what makes it cool

With a healthy dose of Metallica. You can tell James's tight rhythm playing had an impact on Dime. :) Dime told Phil that when he and James got together and jammed, they taught each other some tricks and whatnot on guitar.

something all the glam haters need to know is that pantera was a hair metal band and something they also need to know is that DIMEBAG DARREL loved the whole 80s scene even was a huge fan of Dokken and used to always be right up front banging his head when these guys would come on, he would even jam with warrant! there is actually live videos of him singing with jani lane so yea don't hate

[@SMIFFTV]

By the time they made this album, they weren't even glam anymore. Hair metal? Sure, but looking back now, it's clear that Power Metal was the true beginning of their prime....it planted the seeds that grew into CFH, VDOP, FBD, TGST, and RTS

[@aarontrainor9918]

SMIFF TV Power Metal still had Glam Metal in it,plus it was still 80s music just those Terry Glaze Albums

CFH

[@godzillasimpson8357]

CFH actually still had an 80s feel to it. Glam metal was still around in 1990 but it died down after. Although some bands made a comeback in the later 90s

[@rickyhyppa7960]

For all intents and purposes, I feel like there's a bigger leap in sound from CFH to Vulgar rather than from Power Metal to CFH. Ah who the hell cares, Pantera fuckin kicks ass and that's all that matters.

I don't know why some Pantera fans make fun of this. I fucking kicks arse! This song is perfect...... I had to look it up, I was driving home from work the other night, and I got that main riff in my head so I plugged my phone in and played it. I was rockin out to it I'm my car, head banging and singing, going, " dah dun-dun dun dah da-dun, da dun-dun dun dah da-dun" people at the traffic lights were laughing and giving me the horns.

Brilliant. Solid but unexceptional musical foundation elevated to a greater tier by the wailing vocals and exquisite guitar solo. It's a pity this album isn't available to download (I don't like streaming platforms, I prefer mp3s I can have for keeps to play anytime, anywhere, with or without Internet) on bandcamp or something like that. Or if I could buy the album on cd or cassette I could convert them to mp3 myself.

I love this genre so much man 🤘✊️ metal is so badass and near and dear to my heart. Screw the hatred that the haters are purveying! They just don’t freakin know!!! Not one damn clue, they rather just stay reclusive and stick with the bullshit stereotypes that were made by posers!!! But you know what, who gives a flying shit, this is OUR music and are all brought together with DENIM AND LEATHER. That Rob Halford-Classic 80s Metal- Yell at the end is astonishing! Puts a smile and makes me remember how much admiration I have for bands like Pantera, Metallica(shut up, they have my support!!! Least they laid down the greatest works of metal!! Btw I LOVE the Black Album 🖕 YOU’RE the posers yourselves for not admitting and being TRUE that it has classic hits!!!) Mötley Crüe (Fuck you, they have good music!!)
