Pantera - This Love (Pianist continues his exploration of heavy metal)

[@BrunoJovi]

"The dude on guitar" 🎸 Enuff said.

[@1Deep43VA]

I love how the pianist picked up on Dimebag’s willingness to hold notes. I remember reading an interview where he talked about holding notes and how he wanted more guitarists to do that. I love it. It means Dime’s intention landed.

[@adamregan4921]

100%! We all know Dime could Shred with the best, but when he played with soul it gives you goosebumps (like this solo and the sleep solo). David Gilmour and his solo in Comfortably numb is another good example of holding/bending notes, where no notes are wasted.

[@1Deep43VA]

@@adamregan4921 I love that you mentioned the solo in The Sleep. One of the greatest solos in Pantera’s history and I never hear it get mentioned enough.

[@mattordiway8631]

Dimebag did such a great job at making his solos flow with the groove of the song. They are not out of place or just random. They are always well thought out and placed perfectly. Another great reaction. 🤘

[@RaspySquares]

"Melody"

[@Bablobiggins]

Dimebag was an incredible guitarist and composer!

[@HenritheHorse]

Dime made the guitar sing!

[@whateveryasaypal5022]

I think more like well FELT out than thought out, I think it just flowed naturally from him. He was so naturally talented he didn't even need to think about it, it was just like a second voice for him, like how you don't need to think about talking in order to express yourself. That's just how he expressed himself.

[@Dimchek970]

As precise as Malmsteen, especially when you watch him play live and see it's always note for note. In reservedness not so much :D

[@Zhgarr]

I'm glad you picked the version that doesn't stop after "No more headtrip"... like what happens in the music video. I was ready to be disappointed, lol. Thanks Judson for giving it a listen! One of my favorites

[@Zhgarr]

Oh and about the heroin use, yes - definitely something that comes back in Phil's lyrics. Suicide Note Pt 1 & 2 for Pantera and from his other band Down - Learn from this Mistake. I've never touched drugs, but I've seen what it did to my brother so I still get a lump in my throat every time I hear it.

That middle section riff is EPiC before the breakdown ❤❤❤ ... Talk about groove metal!!! Great song Pantera definitely had influenced a lot of metal bands just from this one song.

[@lawrencefine5020]

One of the greatest Metal albums ever made. It' pummels and beats you over the head, below the belt and right in the gut. MOUTH FOR WAR!

[@mel_j630]

Cemetery Gates please! If Judson has a chance of ever liking Phil's voice, it'll be because of that song for sure

[@Nissardpertugiu]

The mindfuck would be Power Metal stuff

[@richpeltier9519]

That main solo is so sweet, it distracts from all the movement under it. Such an interesting progression. So glad I got to see them before they disbanded. 🤟🧙‍♂🤟

[@quesocfh6080]

so much prefer "disbanded" to "broke up"

[@journeymenforlife]

Man you forget how good this song is and how missed Dimebag is. Much love from the kingdom 💚🤙

[@user-hf2ik1uf1l]

Had the pleasure of hanging out with Dime a couple of times down here in Oz.. Most genuine person I have ever met, with the kindest soul.. He said that he learnt to get more out of one note from listening to Ace Frehley, who was a master at it.. Black Tooth Grin!! 🥃

[@mattblatchley2061]

Absolutely my favorite Pantera track!!!

[@mayadog2497]

I love the simplicity of and how Phils lyrics are brutal and to the point. Pure expression of and release of emotion....no holding back, no PC.....Just a strong-felt emotion.

[@philtanics1082]

"he writes about things that piss him off. Today!" - ya he nailed it.

[@jigstraw2809]

If you plan to do another Pantera track, i'd like to formally request Floods.

[@stepitupandgo67]

Goddamn I hadn't listened to that in too long...I shed a tear for the incredible guitar of dimebag and of course vinny no denying their talents..I played in a band with a singer/guitarist who was friends with them and went to pool parties at their dad's place in Dallas..that must have been crazy

[@mihascarass]

Richard mentally joined their concert around 8:40. Awesome!

[@jibaobab6556]

Greetings to you both, always a pleasure to see judson react to new material. Just as much as Richard's passion for them. I ask again just in case, can you do a video on the band nine inch nail, on the track we're in together please ? Big kisses from Paris, France.

[@Greatmeasures]

For sure. We’ve been discussing NIN recently. Judson has heard some of their stuff, so the challenge is trying to figure out what he hasn’t heard.

[@rafaelalba6318]

10's has one of the best solos imo,.sure he will like it

[@danielsan3681]

I absolutely love that y'all don't interrupt the song! Yall wait to hear everything before you comment Thank y'all for doing that! Charleston, South Carolina here!

I love these vids Pantera are my all time fave If you want a ballad from them I reckon the sleep has the sickest solo

[@wickedfoxbodys1044]

The best metal band of all time. I say this because they’re great and they saved metal in the 90’s.

[@alyssahudson1743]

Another great song and review it's crazy that they were a totally different band before this and Dime Bag and Vinnie said they wanted to do something different and became one of the greatest and most unique metal bands ever

[@robgas7507]

Love the radiohead in the beginning. I didn’t quite figure it out. This episode was the most heroine like. ❤

[@C0maT0ast]

I think that's the first video where I've seen Judson just sit there and really listen to the song, usually he'll plink away on the keys trying to figure the song out.

[@ladygeorge505]

Gotta have him check out A NEW LEVEL!

[@MartyrDK]

Almost forgot how great this song is. Exelent video.

[@furmanb]

G'day guys, enjoy your videos from down here in Australia 🇦🇺 Love the interactions between you both. Judson is a pisser 😂 he's obviously a very intelligent man with his insights. Oh that Southern drawl lol 👍

[@mutlucansihman]

Exact thing whenever i listen to this song. The man was spot on! I even wrote a flood in Twitter, currently X yea i know, and it was about a comparison between Alice in Chains and Pantera and also i said in that flood that This Live is Alice in Chains' Love Hate Love. They both have dark arpeggios in the beginning following with powerful riffs and singing. They both come forth and back with emotions such anger and intense passion.

[@wickedfoxbodys1044]

One of the best metal albums of all time. Oh yah Far beyond Driven one of the best albums as well.

[@bumblefluff79]

Tuuuuune! This was the one that got me to take them seriously as I was deep down the grunge hole at the time, but the fury of the following track Rise has to be my favourite of theirs.

[@o0Donuts0o]

I always imagined Phil was standing in front of his oven screaming at the cake inside IT’S TIME TO RISE! RISE! RISE! Next day in the studio. Guys, I got the lyrics

[@omegashinra7672]

Everyone everywhere should react to more Protest The Hero. Criminally under-rated.

[@sureduck]

Great song choice, I've been waiting for this one. 10's a great pick too but then I'd agree with any of them. As for Pantera drug/booze shenanigans, it's infamous (lots of fireworks thrown in for a good mix). Phil had a cardiac arrest after a show in 96 due to heroine abuse, think he was clinically dead for few minutes. Most of the bands they toured with couldn't keep up and they toured with some heavyweights. Look it up, plenty of stories. It's amazing how Phil turned his life around. Strong headed dude.

[@Olivia_Neumann]

Stellar Thom Yorke impression, Radiohead is good shit.

[@MsCruisein]

Lords unmatched! Sebastian Bach has some funny stories about Dime when they were all touring together. Dime and Snake Sabo dropped acid and cut up a bunch of leather sofas at a swanky hotel and got them all kicked out. There were doing all kinds of drugs and drinks and debauchery in the old country and western days that were the 90s. Phil was into the heroin, but then he "cut the dragon's head off," as he says, which is way more interesting to talk about.

[@Kickenwing13]

Pre video prediction- he might like the outro but I am quite puzzled with how he'll react or connect

[@EdwardAlexander-ABF]

Pantera actually did a Ballad on their 1988 album Power Metal, entitled ‘We’ll Meet Again’.
