Pantera - The Sleep

Album: Cowboys From Hell

It's one of the most emotional solos by Dime, probably the best one.

[@ScreamBloodyGore145]

Alessandro Black Totally agree

[@nevadacampbell4859]

I don't know about that because he plays with so much emotion in general! That's what makes him the best, and don't forget his personality!

+Dae Gek nah, he has to right to his opinion. And thousands of Pantera fans are never going to get over it. Telling the wrong pantera fan to get over dime will get you a fist to the face. Why comment and be rude?

[@jasonnash3134]

I've lost everything in this life, my parents both from cancer, my friends from overdoses and car accidents. Just recently found the love of my life, she's pregnant, my world is changing. For the best, but I always come back to Pantera to free my soul, release a few tears for those gone. Love you all, miss you so much, til we meet again. And Dime the first few rounds are on me when we meet

[@tnhnoztel]

brih...

[@jasongray1677]

Jason Nash but for the solo

[@maryyelvington572]

Its testament to the raw solid ass basic foundation of PANTERA!! I myself get to be transported to another time, another place...where it's still OK, it's still EARLY etc so forth. The world is just a little less grimy, polluted, less impossible, and more like something that resembles a planet with "people" not a dying boulder with disgusting corrupt rapacious maniacs and monsters trying to out dress one another and consume at ANY cost lol. PANTERA forever !! Lol

Second only to the emotional monsterpiece that is the solo in Floods. I'm convinced that any list of Dime's greatest solos that doesn't have Floods, The Sleep, 10's, and Cemetery Gates comprising the top spots (in no specific order) then the list is simply wrong.

[@HardyisXtreme]

LYRICS: Understanding what has happened before us We are confined to a darkened hidden tomb The conquering of our world as we knew it Rise above this pit of sorrow and pain Among the few we are the avant leaders We've got to live through this trouble and decay This question haunts my mind Will we survive this night? We're harboring the meek Will we survive the sleep? Unsure and scared we are planning our reprise Revolves around this world we don't know anymore The odds against us yet we're stronger and prevailing Learn from mistakes counting souls for sale This question haunts my mind Will we survive this night? We're harboring the meek Will we survive the sleep? This question haunts my mind Will we survive this night? We're harboring the meek Will we survive? This question haunts my mind Will we survive this night? We're harboring the meek Will we survive the sleep? R..I.P The Abbott Brothers 🤘🤘

No disrespect to Sabbath or Maiden but without equivocation the best live band I've EVER seen, also highly recommend Machine Head live your spent when it's over.

[@the_motherfucker]

It is possible to say what their best song is, the reason people say "This is their best song" on many of their songs is because they think it's their best song, if you don't like comments like that then just ignore them

Phil Anselmo's falsetto at 5:30 is fucking incredible. After 1996 the drugs & alchohol started to affect his voice (not his death metal growling though lol), and the songs from CFH & VDOP started being played tuned down live so he could hit the notes. This & his high pitched scream match with Dimebag's guitar at the end of Cemetary Gates are reminders that back in the day Phil once had a voice that could hang with the best of the best.
