Cowboys From Hell - The Pantera Story ┃ Documentary

[@RAWMUSICTV]

10 OCT 2022 CORRECTION: Jerry bought Dime his first guitar before he won the Dean guitar. Some people are saying it was a Les Paul replica but I can't find information on this. And a quick FYI, you can learn to play a guitar before owning one, I'm not sure why that is a shock to some people, especially considering how many guitars Jerry would have had lying around the house and the studio. 12 OCT 2022 UPDATE: I went back and read the relevant sections of Black Tooth Grin and it says, quote, "Jerry bought Darrell a Les Paul copy and a Pignose amp for his birthday". A Les Paul copy was Dimes first guitar, not the Dean Guitar he won at the age of 14. If you spot any other inaccuracies then let me know here!

[@dereks.1930]

There's a video out there of Dime with a smoke bomb in what I believe was that LP copy you mentioned. It can also be seen in Ola Englund's video where he visited Dime's guitar vault.

[@RAWMUSICTV]

Will try and find the Dime video! Thanks for the info!

So from the head stock it looks like a univox les Paul replica . kzbin.info/www/bejne/iISUpYqsnNSDnZY

[@baneverything5580]

@@RAWMUSICTV There are pictures of a very young Darrell with the Les Paul copy and it was mentioned in the Black Tooth Grin book.

[@wintyrqueen]

He didn’t buy the guitar for Dime, it was one he’d already owned. He’d offered Darrell either a BMX or the old guitar. Darrell picked the BMX. After hearing Black Sabbath for the first time he went back to his dad & asked if he could trade the bike for the guitar. The whole anecdote is in the liner notes for the Sabbath tribute album Nativity In Black (which Pantera wasn’t on, though their cover of Electric Funeral was on the follow up)

Pantera weren’t just a band. They were a lifestyle! And I lived it to the fullest I could. Such a great time in so many people’s lives because of these guys. Rest easy to the Abbott brothers. Thank you so much fellas.

I remember those days. Everyone in high school was wearing CFH and Vulgar t shirts. I grew up in the north Dallas Texas area. We were so proud that they were from our area of Texas. Nobody ever told us to our faces if they didn’t like PanterA. If you would’ve dared to say “PanterA sucks!!” it would’ve meant a trip to the ICU😵🥊

I recall when Cowboys From Hell came out. It was during the height of thrash metal and this was really something different. Then as the decade progressed and 80s bands grew more obscure, they simply dominated. Pantera single handedly crafted what would inspire an entire sub genre. It's the way Dime grooved those guitar riffs in combination with Vinny's unique double bass and how Phil punched out vocals. All of that would later be emulated by countless bands. But they are the original.

[@ericmojave6061]

Gotta give Rex some shine for holding down the low end and giving Dime room to be Dime.

[@karthikeyaadeepak9327]

Pantera had such a strong positive influence in my life. I used to regularly visit this local pub in my hometown Bangalore, India which would blast Pantera tracks in full volume on sound systems that would literally rip our ear drums. It wasn’t just a stupid alcohol fueled rage or venting but every lyrical words that came from the songs of pantera was adopted in my life to fuel my ambition and passion ! When I was benching 100 kilos on my chest, i would be listening to ‘shedding my skin’, when my asshole boss screamed at me ‘ 5 mins alone’ rang in my head, in street fights ‘walk off home boy’ was the first warning given to the other person, cheating girlfriends? ‘This love’ comforted me, when I lost my dad ‘ cemetery gates’ gave me the strength to move on, every small, big successes or happiness ‘cowboys from hell’ made that beer taste even better and amplified my happiness. Even to this day, I get through difficult, normal, happy days by listening to Pantera. Thank you Phil, Dimebag, Rex & Vinnie

​@@serenity20001 Totally agree with you. Anselmo was the man in Pantera. It's well known than the Abbot brothers wanted to make the band more and more comercial, but Phil never wanted to become another Metallica, instead he came out with heavier material, Trendkill was an anti-Load in 1996. By the time Phil decided to make another record with Down, part of his decision was that he knew that if it were for the Abbot brothers, Pantera would ve playing nu metal at the 00s or whatever trending metal/rock style.

Great story. Still got my Dimebag guitar pick i caught during the Reinventing the Steel tour. I touched it that night, put it away, and have not touched it since.

[@flocore]

As a lifelong Pantera fan I was reluctant to watch this, because this band means so much to me and its history and members can easily get misunderstood and misconstrued (since people like to focus on superficial bullshit and/ or on some kind of 'hidden agendas'). But I'm glad I did, since you approached it in a respectful way and clearly put a lot of effort into the research and the production, so thank you! I would, however, recommend you - and everyone else who is interested - to read Rex's Pantera autobiography ("Official Truth, 101 Proof"), if you haven't already. It is a bit controversial in parts. But it does give certain very personal insights that aren't available from reading interviews, in which oftentimes the same questions get answered over and over. Or from watching that cheesy VH1 documentary (which is cool in its own way, but also quite superficial). Apart from the fact that Elvis had a "little bit" of help from Little Richard and Chuck Berry in his "revolutionizing of Rock'n'Roll", I find it important to mention that the boys had Metallica over at Dime's mother's place in 1985, when they played in their area. They even jammed together and, according to Rita (Dime's long-time partner), Dime even showed Hetfield a riff that would later come to prominence in one of their songs! It might have been a similarly important experience as their later jams with Kerry King. Also, Exhorder from NOLA heavily influenced their sound in the late 80s and early 90s. Of course, Pantera cooked up their own stew and poured in their own ingrediences to come up with that massively aggressive sound that made them so hugely influential. I happen to play in a Pantera tribute band and have to say that, after all that happened, I find it extremely difficult seeing the sole Pantera logo advertised for live shows with Phil, Rex, Zakk and Charlie, later this year. I would have loved to see a little more thoughtfulness and care put into the advertising of this 'tribute project' that Phil and Rex obviously feel the need to do - and that I totally get and respect! But it is absolutely no surprise to me how the way this is being approached is dividing the fans and putting a lot of people off. It just seems like: Yeah, Vinnie can't pull his veto anymore, so let's do it. "PanterA - revisited" or something like that (in small letters underneath the logo would have been totally sufficient). The way it is being advertised, it seems disrespectful and misleading (remember: younger kids may not know their past) - or careless at the very least - to me.

[@RAWMUSICTV]

I appreciate all of your feedback. Obviously, I have to try and figure out what I think fits best within the short time frame I have to work with but you've certainly made some very valid points. I actually have 101 Proof and it's a great book but I was trying to stay as neutral as I possibly could here with as much factual information as possible. I fully agree, the way the new Pantera tour has been advertised is just disrespectful in my eyes. If it was specifically labelled as a tribute, which it doesn't seem to be, it would have been fine. We'll have to see what happens!

Not the effect that I expected most of Pantera's music to wind up having on me.... Dime was and is my personal hero. I'm a guitarist and he's the best I've ever heard, and so it's pretty obvious why I would hold him on high. But aside from that,he was by all accounts a super laid back,chill,down to Earth kind of guy. It wasn't JUST that insane guitar skill that I admire so much.

Many bands come n go. A very few select of these bands summon a significant imprint on the "scene ". Pantera in the midst of the grunge movement kept the flag flying for metal. When bands like Metallica were "experimental " pantera layed the foundation of the new wave of metal production and paved the way of the next generation of metal musicians. This band is legendary. Always will be. There were a few bands that hated this success. This was only because pantera got it right while those other bands did not. If you are a metal fan or a musician, you can't deny the power of pantera.

Even though Vinny was angry to the very end upon his death, had it not been for the genius of Phil Anselmo, neither Vinny nor Dimebag would’ve enjoyed the rising success of their thrash metal band without his help. All four band members Rex, Phil, Dime and Vince made up Pantera. It wasn’t just Dimebag nor Vinny that made Pantera so successful. Phil Anselmo put Pantera on the map. I don’t understand Vinny‘s anger regarding his brothers death years later and directed all at Phil. Bands break up. But blaming Dimebag‘s murder on Phil was uncalled for by Vinny. I don’t care how cool somebody is, you don’t put the murder of dime under anybody else except the man that pulled the trigger. Phil was not the one that pulled that trigger and he was not to blame at all for Dime’s death. I think it was just Vinny‘s way of expressing his loss in a frustratingly way.

I literally used to party with them in the year 1989-1990 in Houston Texas at a club that was called Backstage. They would come every other month and each time they did the crowd got bigger and bigger. I was a regular at the club so I had full access to areas that not everyone had so I was able to hangout in the dressing room upstairs behind the stage. I still remember all the tags on the wall written in black sharpie marker from other previous bands and in that room I would see Diamond Darrell before he was called Dimebag stringing and tuning up his guitar while Rex Rocker and Phil would be talking shit and drinking Budweiser beer with me. What I didn't realize at the time was I was seeing greatness in a genre of music being created right before my very eyes. I was 17 years old at the time and it was an amazing time that I will never forget! I believe there's videos of those performances at that club circulating right here on youtube so if anyone is interested in watching just search Pantera Live at Club Backstage in Houston Texas

The next day we went to the Paradiso venue and were on the list. Awesome gig this was, Pantera give it their all. Man how sad I was when Darrell was killed. Rest in Peace man, thanks what you gave me in music and form out of your kindness. You Rock dude!!

[@AliceInPantera]

I learned some cool shit from this. Thanks for the post man. Very well done

[@Popwarner-x1w]

I remember the new sound when these guys were coming up through the tanks. Dime bag Darrell was the sound I remembered the most. The way he really had a way with his Tone it was really awesome. I was a fan immediately. I still am

[@threadtapwhisperer5136]

For real man! Vinnie's double bass was so much more brutal than the current crop of metal at the time. Phill's swagger and the absolute simplistic yet utterly badass Dimebag grooves, Far Beyond Driven and Vulgar Display of power outright pushed me into playing guitar, just to see if I could even make a half assed similar Dimebag sound. Truly a band that changed the landscape of metal in their time. I also really dig Down and Superjoint ritual/Damageplan. Hell, Damageplan I think mighr have gelled really nice with a second album, had they not tragically lost Dime. Without any one of the 4 members, Pantera i think loses a vital ingredient in the groove metal/thrash metal Pantera vibe.

Every time I even see the name Pantera, the opening riff of Walk plays in my head. Not many bands have that sort of immediacy with memory of their music, sure you'll have a split second before thinking of a chorus or riff with most bands but for some reason Pantera instantly conjures that iconic opening drum build and guitar riff from Walk in my mind *it's important to remember Vinnie and Dimebag, rest in peace🙏

[@miky8788]

[@gianninasalati778]

They mean a lot to me, specially Phil. His music (with and without Pantera) get me out of bad times and as a girl, it help me grow a stronger personality and be myself. I really loved the documentary, still remember the first time I heard them, it was Cemetery Gates and fell in love instantly. Thank you so much for the amazing work you did telling their story!

[@adrianbarczi3213]

[@Shartyshorts]

I've been waiting for this

[@runsett]

Proud to say, this is my favorite band of all time.

[@MrShadez810]

It’s crazy how quickly the glam/hair metal wave died off the mainstream focus in the early 90s. The late 80s saw Guns n Roses with a number one album with Appetite For Destruction In 87 then we just had Motley Crue with their first number one album in 1989 with Dr Feelgood. Hair metal was doing great then a catalyst of events just saw it get swallowed by the next music phase of the 90s. I don’t think in 1989 anyone would’ve been able to predict just how much the mainstream attention would shift. Crazy that Pantera are almost a poster child for that shift in attention

[@beensentcruz3941]

Vinnie and Dime, The Legends, My Idol...

[@superseventy-one4628]

I work at a shop that’s right across the street from their old recording studio where it still sits today in Pantego Tx. Dime was a down to earth dude, they were always around town .
