"We'll figure out the lyrics later" is one of the best things you can hear on a reaction channel.

[@nikkireviews]

😂 Gotta figure it out sometime but there's so much to take it when listening to the song lol.

[@nickgullett6771]

​@nikkireviews just came across your channel, you ever hear of Ren, Tom Macdonald, Adam Calhoun, Ryan Upchurch, Madchild?

[@nickgullett6771]

​@@nikkireviewsIDK if you really do any rap type music but this song is awesome!

[@nikkireviews]

I've done a few Ren songs (which I really enjoyed!) but I don't think I've heard of any of the others before. 🤔 Do you have any particular songs you'd suggest? :)

[@ernestolopez23]

Just seeing dimebag in any context still gives me goosebumps to this day! R.i.p to the abbott brothers, and thank you for checking this one out, sucks they get copyrighted right away. Keep up the discovery of heavy metal 🤘🏼

Yeah, he really is amazing! 🎸 And for sure I will! It's been a fun journey. ☺️

Pantera- The Sleep A very underrated song by them. I've never seen others react to it, it's a true masterpiece with an amazing solo

[@tylerreisinger734]

Yessss. Verry heavy perhaps the heaviest song

[@kernoleary1394]

@@ElbertBean-m7v slaughtered is a very thrash/death metal kinda song. I'm not sure its their heaviest but its one of their only songs in this style. Id venture to say suicide note pt1 and a couple others might actually be heavier though

The studio version instead of the video, has about 2 minutes more song that they cut out of the video because of time constraints back when MTV actually played music videos

[@morempire]

And you heard the shortened version that was intended for this video. Check out the long version without cuts. Pure energy.

[@PaulSink]

Roller-coaster ride through the video for sure with the change in heavier and lighter vibes.Also loved the Guitar solos ,need more of those in the newer music IMO.Yes this is one of those songs left up to our interpretation.

[@nikkireviews]

I agree! Newer music needs more guitar solos for sure. 🎸

I could not agree with you more

[@sdennisonthomas]

RIP Dimebag and Vinny Saw them in concert and that tribute is awesome!!!

The best way to describe this song is that feeling you get a few days after a relationship. Its 2 am your drunk alone and so fucking angry. Raging at them you and the world. You keep this love

Thumb up as always :) PANTERA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOre please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sumonjamal1653]

Down is a band worth checking out for sure... Phil Anselmo of Pantera formed it w/ his friends from New Orleans who were in heavy, sludge metal bands... Pepper Keenan (guitar) made his mark as the vocalist(and guitarist) w/ the Nort Carolina band Corrosion of Conformity... Kirk Winstein (guitar) is also the vocalist of his band Crowbar, who have had a long career... Crowbar's original bassist Todd Strange did the first Down album 'NOLA' (New Orleans, Louisiana) in 1995, but he left the band (and left Crowbar as well)... Jimmy Bower (drums) played guitar in the band Eyehategod... Pantera bassist Rex Brown joined Down later and recorded 2 albums w/ them. Down songs - 'Stone the crow'... 'Temptation's wings' ... 'Ghosts along the Mississippi' ... 'Bury me in smoke'.

[@Ryan-yi5ro]

Stone The Crow is one of the best songs ever made.

[@brianmassey7563]

I just noticed Phil is wearing a Down shirt in the beginning! And their breakdowns! Whaaaat!!!???

[@quinnsdaddy476]

I just found your channel and this love was cut short due to it being a music video. Haven't had time to read any comments yet so I don't know if someone already told you this

[@ladaddy19]

The best part of the song was edited out. It sounds like you would have agreed. Always go with original audio. 90's MTV was garage.

[@nikkireviews]

Oh no. 🙈 That's the problem with reactions lol.. I'll definitely check out the original - thank you!

[@mikelee4424]

This. I waited for the drop……and it never came.

[@petrilampela]

My favorite part is the riff after the second chorus but it's been cut short in the video version too.

[@conan5555ful]

That was awesome never heard this one from them.

[@axz_reapa]

seen them live in 94 i was 16 melbourne aus.

[@christianperkinson497]

It's funny watching someone who isn't a metalhead try to analyze a group like Pantera. Metal heads have their own meaning of the song based upon their life. That is why we are metal heads. We don't analyze, we take our and make it or own.

[@nikkireviews]

I love that. I think that goes for any kinda sound though. Which is why I love music so much. Anyone can make of it what they want. But I do like to analyze what the artist was feeling when they wrote it 🧐 haha

[@ianwashington7751]

There's a longer version of this song, fyi. Loved the " we'll figure out the lyrics later" 😅

Suicide note part 2 from the most underrated metal album in history 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@davidedemurodominijanni9889]

"Suicide Note 1 & 2" actually. Those two songs cannot be played separately, doing that would be a crime! Probably their best 2 songs together with "This Love", "Walk" and "Cemetery Gates" and a bunch of others. Sometimes I wish Phil went into making and recording Spoken Worlds shows like the legendary Henry Rollins...

Phil Anselmo is pretty awesome at writing lyrics that can be interpreted in a lot of ways. Watch your step, you're about to fall down the Phil Anselmo rabbit hole. It starts with, "oh, he has another band called Down, I'll have to check that out," and then, "oh, he has another band and another band and another band and another band and another band" forever..... because they're ALL awesome and different.

Ummm, the album version is different, I suggest listening to that one, it’s better. Glad I was able to see them in Houston back in ‘96 while White Zombie opened up for them. Hands down THE best concert I’ve seen to date.

This is one of the best things Phil ever wrote. It may not be what he “intended” it to mean, but I took it kinda like you. “Love” isn’t for weaklings. The shit hurts. Like everything, it has a dark side. It can hurt so bad that you become enraged beyond the rage you could muster if it was just about you and not the other person. Love is pain, and it is ferocious. Thank you, Phil…as if you’re reading some jackass’s KZbin comment on this reaction video. Thanks for doing this one! 🤘🏴‍☠️
