Rappers React To Pantera "Cowboys From Hell"!!!

[@thumplife792]

When I saw them play this live in the 90s I was in the front row. Vinnie Paul's kick drum was hitting me so heavy and loud that it was actually hard to breathe. It was the best thing ever.

@@xXCaptainLouXx420 For sure. Terry Glaze was a good singer just didnt quite fit with Dimebags guitar style. I liked him in Lord Tracy. At the time I was playing in a band that was a bar touring band. We would get demos of bands albums before they came out. Maybe Demos is not the right word. We just called them that. Once Phil joined its like it was time to get serious lol.

[@xXCaptainLouXx420]

@@Evl_1 When they got Phil, it seemed to click what they were and they all leveled-up, so to speak. Those old glam rock albums were something else. I really couldn't get into it. There were like 4 I think. With titles like I Am the Night (not bad) to Projects in the Jungle. I was so slack-jawed when I saw all this. I had been a fan since like '93 and I didn't really get to find any of that sfuff until like after the millenia. I had heard rumors and stuff up to that point. But this was a time when Marilyn Manson was that kid from Growing Pains and Ozzy snorted ants (which turned out to be true), so back then we didn't know. Unfettered internet access and curiosity finally revealed all the stuff. I was floored.

One of the greatest albums in metal. Phil’s vocals are at their best on this album, and the musicianship and songwriting are on point. Classic.

[@eggstu]

I'd agree fully

[@matthewdrake4385]

Thrash and groove metal come from the same foundation of heavy metal, especially bands like Sabbath. Pantera helped popularize it in the 90’s around the time Metallica were becoming more commercial around Black Album. Sepultura and White Zombie were others that fit the groove metal mold. In a way groove metal was like a bridge between thrash and nu metal.

[@mccoy1369]

Couldn't have said it better. Amazing description of groove metal. Hat's off to you. 🤘

Cowboys From Hell is the title track to their 5th album Cowboys From Hell (1990). I remember in 1992, I was in 12th grade, my buddy put a cassette in my truck stereo and said, you gotta hear this -- and it was this song. I was hooked since. You just transported me back 30 yrs.

"Cowboys from Hell" (1990) is Pantera's fifth studio album (if you count their independently released glam metal albums), and their debut on Atlantic Records. This album was their first commercial success. It is perceived as the official debut of the band by many fans as it has definitely left the glam metal label. This is the second album with Philip Anselmo on vocals. The song "Cowboys From Hell" and also "Cemetery Gates" were both from this album. You should also check out the song "The Sleep" from this album.

[@mtc8335]

Pantera has a mixture of styles in their catalog. The earlier stuff is more thrashy but as they progressed they became more groove based. Want a great example of groove? Do “Mouth for War" or “A New level". Classics boys. Keep up the good work!

[@headbangerdnb]

"Hard Lines, Sunken Cheeks" is my favorite Pantera song. The vocal melody during the chorus almost has that Layne Staley-esque moody harmonization. You guys should definitely check that song out!

This song, and album as a whole, serves as a mission statement for Pantera. Before this album, they were a Glam Metal Band. They slowly changed over time and this album put that stuff officially in the past.

Pantera is from Arlington, TX. I live 10 minutes from where Dime and Vinnie are buried. And from the studio they recorded most of their studio albums. Have always loved and respected them. This is my favorite Pantera song of all time.

You can never do enough reactions to Pantera. This album is full of 🔥 tunes. One song that RARELY reacted to is Avoid the Light, and Dime is on 🔥 in that one.

[@allisterfiend_2112]

Phil Anselmo was from the New Orleans area. A good friend of mine was also friends with Phil and one night we all went to a local bar to have some drinks and Phil was telling me he was in a local band called ‘Razor White’. This was back when heavy metal was still really popular. He eventually moved to Texas and joined ‘Pantera’. If I’m not mistaken, Phil’s first album with Pantera was called ‘Power Metal’, and I loved that album! You could start to hear them transitioning from power metal into a more thrashy sound which appeared on the ‘Cowboys From Hell’ album. Anything pre cowboys from hell is sorta scrubbed from the internet and not talked about much because much of their thrash fan base do not seem to be able to understand bands can evolve. Phil’s voice is incredible on the power metal album, before all the growling started, check it out if you get a chance.

A very underated song on this album is medicine man.. You like drums, medicine man doesnt disappoint.

Pantera in many ways we’re also considered pioneers of this genre too, especially with “Shredding guitars” I mean Dimebag was a signature sound, and now is considered among some of the greatest of all time.

Hi from the UK Pantera definitely did invent groove metal, it’s most apparent in my opinion on the album Far Beyond Driven in tracks such as 5 Mins Alone which I know you’ve reacted to!! If, for a middle aged metal head from 🇬🇧 you could react to another Pantera track that in my opinion has the best or at least underrated Dime solo please react to The Sleep off of Cowboys From Hell, it’s INCREDIBLE and really shows just how good he was, love your channel much kudos from the UK!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@seanortigoza3931]

Next song should be "Primal Concrete Sledge".

[@darkwyng98]

So, I'd almost say this was mid- Pantera. They have four glam metalesque albums preceding Cowboys that have some bangers on them as well. You can absolutely look at their albums, from beginning of career to the end and see an evolution of style and aggression. CFH is heavier than the prior four, Vulgar heavier than that, Far beyond et tu, and Great Southern Trendkill is a masterpiece of metal. And then you have Reinventing the Steel, which has the brutal 'Immortally Insane' on it that was featured in the second Heavy Metal movie....

[@johncarpenter3751]
