Old school Pantera. They were one of the best bands as long as they were together. Still are one of the best. RIP Dimebag and Vinny

[@azuredragon7879]

Old school Pantera was more glam-power metal. Good but not great. Once they found their place in groove metal, they became one of the best.

[@josetomasfreire7261]

They Are, no WERE.

[@uzurpon]

@@azuredragon7879 Yeah. Glam/Hair/Spandex with Terry Glaze on vocals. Formed in 1981 when Dimebag was only 14. (He turned 15 later that year) He called himself Diamond Darrel back then. There is actually footage of them from that time somewhere here on KZbin. Found this: Pantera Planets Of Destruction. Story of Pantera. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJrMdqOXeZKjnck

[@EagleBreasts]

"Old school" Pantera is the only Pantera that exists.. lol

[@brodybouillion1750]

The floods solo and outro gives me chills til this day

[@gustavodesouza649]

Dimebag is a legendary person and guitarist. REST IN FUCKING POWER!! LEGENDS NEVER DIES!!

Horns up for the legend \m/

[@kaylimdonoghue4371]

What about Vinnie Paul

[@krzysztofherdzik1500]

I love reactions to Cemetery Gates. Love seeing people's faces changing as this marvelous track progresses. I was about to say that I'd wish I could hear this song for the first time again, but thank God this song always feels like I'm hearing it for the first time and I'm not bullshitting you. And so it's been for the past 30 years. Legendary track, I believe this is the last great rock/metal anthem that gets universal praise. Pure musical & creative genius from the band that was PANTERA.

[@Brent_Hannan]

One of the best songs by arguably the best band ever. This band holds a special place in my heart. My mom went to school with both Darrell and Vinny and was great friends with the band. I grew up around these guys and had many infant and toddler photos with this band. The next song is the live version of Domination, top five break downs of ALL TIME.

[@joeyj5924]

That's frickem awesome man!!! Lucky you! I'm jealous 😞🙃😁

[@DavidBentley23]

I met both guys a couple of times. I actually interviewed Vinny for a magazine I wrote for only months after Dime passed. Really just great guys to be around, I can only imagine what you got to experience. Cool story to share and glad your Mom was able to stay close with them years later.

[@claudiolevermag]

Lucky you!🎉

[@mdog2560]

Domination live from Moscow. A must. A guitar solo for the ages.

[@sickboy7252]

Hope they react this next

[@siammawiachhangte281]

Plss do check out 🙏🙏🤣...

[@MsCruisein]

Hail Kings! Rest in peace, Dime and Vin! Everyone deserves more Pantera in their lives.

[@HandOfMetal]

Pantera is simply one of the greatest bands ever. I highly suggest to check EVERY live video from Monsters of Rock in Moscow 1991.

[@gustavodesouza649]

Next Sugestion: Pantera - Floods I am sure, you two will understand the Dimebag's heart in his guitar. Drums is a thunder storm, bass is a explosion, and catastrophic lyrics too. Thx for enjoy/reaction my fav band 🤘🏻

[@kldawson53]

Good suggestion so long as the real version is used. Not the one with the weird skips in the solo 😑

[@LuisOtavio-vk3vv]

up

[@kileypaet8221]

Oh you kids have one hell of a rabbit hole to dive down with Pantera! Yes, you definitely did miss out! Great reaction. Have fun with more Pantera.

[@ToastedToad]

RIP Dime. RIP Vinnie..Seeing people discover the groove that is Pantera always makes my heart sing.

[@silverblack5475]

Pantera at this stage was at there best ....phils voice was on point ......this whole album is incredible. Floors favorite Band .

[@MattyAdlard]

You mean after their first glam rock stuff haha! They only got better with vulgar display

[@silverblack5475]

@@MattyAdlard " cowboys from hell " is a better record and i love vulgar

[@nswanson27]

Pantera was and still is the shit

[@jaykristensen1727]

RIP Dime. One of the best guitarists ever.

[@FragileCurse]

Pantera - Suicide Note Parts 1 & 2 .. Played back to back together. Which is easy to find. Is an amazing combo!

[@mmmegameat]

Now that is what I call a proper reaction to an absolute metal masterpiece! What a thrill to see you both pop your Pantera cherries!

[@insaneone86]

How is it possible for you to not have heard this song!?!? Especially if your "into" this kind of music!?!? Crazy...Glad you and others have found it though! Dimebag lives on through us!!!!

[@Ahluk1]

"I feel like I missed out" Well, I'm barely younger than you two, and I've been rocking out to Pantera for the later half of my life. You WILL not be disappointed if you delve deeper in their music.

[@linkinparkfan65]

Having one of the best guitar players in the scene and one of the best drummers makes this one of the best bands I've been introduced to by my uncle

[@hamajangz9586]

Do THE SLEEP next! One of Dime's best solos. Or if yall are looking for something more old school react to either We'll Meet Again or Over and Out. That's some Pantera from the 80's.

[@SomervilleMetalWorks]

100% best solo and a very underrated song

[@Simpler_Times]

One of my favorite things to do, is to watch reactions from the younger metal head generation hearing metal in a way they've never heard before. It's awesome!

[@christophernicolini3440]

Dudes, Welcone to the rabbit hole. Start with (Cowboys from Hell) there second Album with lead singer Phil and don't look back. If you want more of those vocals check out Power Metal there first Album with phil. 1988

[@indranildas1837]

More Pantera plzzzz ❤❤❤

[@nagini661]

Yes 😁😁

[@tomnicholas9379]

First time I saw Pantera in concert, it was my first concert. I was 18 years old 1994 San Bernadino, CA If you listen to any interview with Phil and you hear him speak his voice is fo deep I wonder how he is able to hit those high notes

[@-kona-]

I'm happy my suggestion got through the randomiser and was than voted to the top and I'm really happy you enjoyed it so much. about the missing out part? Think of it like this...you got to experience it with all your metal knowledge/understanding and adult ears and not as a kid. Also you can only discover something once and now you can do that to a full discography of Pantera. Please enjoy. \m/

[@MatandChelsReact]

That is so true Kona. I doubt we would have paid much attention to this or liked it as much if we listened to it as kids. But we're here now and happy about it! Thanks for the suggestion that got us here.

[@integrity101]

Its a shame. You should have watched the full 7 minute music video.

[@kmart0526]

I discovered Pantera with "Mouth For War" and got hooked for life. Check that one out some day for aggro punk meets groove thrash. And I think I got chills watching you two get chills! Awesome!

[@integrity101]

@@kmart0526 Yea thats a great one.

[@shanebeckthold6659]

In 1990, I was 5 as well. However, my dad WAS big Pantera fan, and my earliest memories are sitting on his lap while he would play drums to to this and other Pantera songs🤘

[@ragnarlothbrook3083]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Pan Fucking Tera. You literally cannot go wrong. This album had more of an 80s vibe. They got extensively more brutal with each subsequent album.

[@peach8685]

you need to do Floods!!!!!!!!!! The solo will make you coom

[@user-qb1hd8vb6h]

@ 3.32 you can see the "Fuckin Hell" !! moment. This song never fails to deliver that awesome Hammer Blow of the guitar/drum combo at that part. Classic.

[@timeye7684]

I got to go back stage in Cincinnati after a Pantera show. Dime gave me a pic and I still have it 32 years later. I was 14 and have an older brother that always took me to concerts. White Zombie opened and it got tear gassed. Greatest concert ever! We’ll except for the dummy that got the tear gas flowing.

[@lenculpepper9150]

Im 53 and i used to listen to Stryper a few years before these guys. Pantera was so much heavier, but both metal. A natural progression from hair bands to a harder sound. Darrel was one of the greatest guitarists to ever play and Vinnie, a powerful drummer. RIP Abbott boys and thank you for great music. Nice reavtion and appreciation!

[@ryansalmons5279]

LMMFAO 😂🤣 You guys are in for a HUGE awakening. From this album; Primal Concrete Sledge, Domination, hell the whole album. It's called Cowboys From Hell. Fuck it do their whole catalog. Vulgar Display of Power, Far Beyond Driven, The Great Southern Trendkill, & Reinventing the Steel

[@metalmellie4371]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G guitar work by Dimebag!! He's definitely the GOAT!! The metal king of guitar!! The entire song is a masterpiece, just like you said! Vinnie's drums, Phil's vocals!! Awesome, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G reaction!!!! Tyvm!!

[@crazymelomanka]

One of the best rock songs ever! An absolute masterpiece. I cannot get enough of it!

[@ToyutahLifein]

I discovered them for myself right before Gunge came out, so in 1990 I heard their song "Cowboys From Hell", so I looked and found more, right before another one came out. There is some 90s stuff that slid around. C.O.C Corrosion of Conformity, Rob Zombie, Jane's Addiction, Clutch, Tool- their first album before "Sober" came out. Slayer, Sepultura, Slipknot, Suicidal Tendencies. It's almost like you need a decade, then a genre to choose. Parts of why KZbin is great...

[@tomking7080]

Phil’s voice is amazing. In the second “Gates” line he hits a G5 which is not easy to do. Professional tenor’s have a hard time hitting that G5. Phil’s vocals are amazing. His range is incredible

[@mattfuss1808]

Love the reaction! There's something so enthralling about watching people first discover one of the greatest metal bands of all time! They are amazing & in my personal top 5. Love the reaction.

[@jeremykershaw]

Fantastic song! RIP Dimebag and Vinnie

[@PetarBladeStrok]

I was born 1992 and I've been listening to Pantera ever since my elementary school. You're gonna love it!

[@samantharobinson3108]

I get goosebumps whenever I hear this song. The day we buried my mum, this song came on as we turned onto the street of the cemetery. I shit you not. I STILL get teary eyed whenever I hear this fucking masterpiece

[@danielalves9261]

Dude Pantera was like the main metal band in the 90s, I'm sure you heard Walk

[@MatandChelsReact]

I said I’ve heard Walk. But like we said in the 90’s we were kids who listened to their parents music. None of it was metal.

[@MrJoeandJenn]

This is such a great song, it helped me with the loss of my grandma when i was a teen.

[@eliotschmidt1475]

Cemetery Gates is, hands down, one of the greatest metal songs of all time. A masterpiece and instant classic. You can’t separate Pantera’s legacy without referencing this song.

[@furypulseavp6121]

congrats on finding my favourite band of all time :) I'd suggest 10's, hollow, 25 years and the sleep

[@delarosaluis4912]

It's amazing how your videos are: so different from the usual, and that's why you are very good, thank you for those special moments. Could you react to a band that is somewhat melodic, but interesting please? It's called "Emigrate", and it's the solo project of Rammstein guitarist Richard Z. Kruspe. Greetings!

[@seantalkingthroughthemedia4838]

When u step back at look the individuals involved and the level of chops....it makes perfect sense they are beyond a shadow of a doubt...the kings of face smashing music.period

[@standarsh4681]

I cant name a bad song from Pantera, all time favourite! Definitely go down the Pantera rabbit hole and i will watch every single one I promise:)

[@MattyAdlard]

This makes me so happy to see you guys have this reaction (which of course you would) to this song.. one of the all time classic and best metal songs ever written

[@jameshutt3731]

One thing I do not see/hear many people mention is that Dimebag was one of the Three Musketeers of guitarists. The other two are Zakk Wilde and Ace Frehley. Yes they hung out together and wretched cars together.

[@corbelius6]

I Graduated high school in 1985 LOL I'm an old punk rocker guitarist. Bad Brains, PSW, Suicidal Tendacies. etc

[@Christatum411]

Saw them doing this twice a month in a local club for 2 years. Great times to see them transform into a world power. R.I.P.

[@michaelmardling3152]

Or even do Pantera - Walk as done by 3 different singers (Colt Shedden, Kaden Karns, and Taylor Jade Campbell) from O'Keefe Music Foundation each version is way different.

[@modifidious7171]

I'd also like to add A7X and Disturbed from the same concert as honorable mentions.

[@nathanp1501]

Well down the Pantera rabbit hole we go! Domination is hands down my favorite song but there are so many good ones!

[@amrrbast545]

I just love how dimebag makes his guitar speak

[@Krommer1000]

Got to see these guys live, and then after the show went to a bar where a Pantera Tribute band was playing, and Dimebag showed up at the bar to watch the show. It was a cool night.

[@lukerose1378]

Was my first concert at 12. My sister snuck me out for the show. Pantera, white zomie. This love was my first pit.

[@thancrow]

The call and response between the singer and guitarist at the end is amazing.

[@milindlohar9286]

The 3 gates at the end feels like heaven in a cemetary. Cheers Pantera forever.....

[@MattyAdlard]

Next you have to listen to (the extended version also) of "THIS LOVE" Another of their best songs!! MUST MUST MUST!!!!

[@timpurcell4583]

Great reaction guys!

[@brianlys]

I miss Saturday nights hitting Backstage in Houston with Pantera playing and generally causing mayhem.

[@mrteverlast71]

A true masterpiece. Loved seeing you guys react to something so many of us already knew. Cheers

[@SomervilleMetalWorks]

Having first watched this reaction then going through your other reaction videos and coming back here i think the only logical next Pantera song is Walk, surely you've heard that song Mat.

[@MatandChelsReact]

We've both heard Walk before. That's practically played at every concert venue while they do setup and tear downs. 😆

[@josemartinezwalter3583]

I felt that in your ears when the guitar starts to play

[@jasonl3963]

You guys should listen to black label society in this river it’s zakk wylds tribute to dimebag it’s a very beautiful song also absolutely love you guys 🤘🏻

[@ginonacionales6347]

This song was FIRE back then.. and that same fire still burns.

[@mr.bsworld_0oo0_]

So awesome watching you both experience this metal masterpiece for the first time! 😈 Pantera in their prime when Phil was an amazing singer and not a complete asshole. RIP Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul 🤘😔🖤

[@Incesticide77]

Yeah I needed to come across this song too after hearing other stuff from them, I also had no idea Phil could do those vocals

[@kostradamus5739]

I saw them live at Dynamo Open Air Eindhoven in the Netherlands in 1995....wow, what a ride!!!

[@robhughes4682]

This was my favorite reaction yet! More Pantera!! 🤘 Pantera - Regular People Pantera - Suicide Note parts 1 & 2 Pantera - Throes of Rejection Pantera - Strength Beyond Strength Pantera - Revolution is My Name (also do the album version because the video clip cuts out the start) Just all of their work! 🤘🔥

[@nofilternofks333]

I get whole body chills EVERY SINGLE TIME i listen to this,my fav Pantera song!!🤘🤘

[@skarpethinn]

"Is this gonna be pretty?" - Oh, Chels, Chels, Chels - was it? Was it pretty? 😅🤣 Also, Mat - that bit at the end where you "couldn't work out if it was the guitars or him" - it was both: Phil would do his scream, then the guitar would match it; there were 3 of those, then Dimebag (the guitarist) threw in a higher-pitched note at the end, above what Phil could do, as a sort of friendly dig

[@kikstand2011]

It was so amazing to see someone hear this song for the first time! A flood of weird emotions, from excitement to see your reactions, to feeling nostalgia, to a sad ping of loss for the Abbot brothers and this band who basically changed my life in my teen years. Great job. More Pantera. If you want beautiful, do "hollow". You want brutal, pick anything else they made. Hahha.

[@ZeuZLoD]

I got lucky in the 90's while in my teens that I had various friends that listened to all sorts of music and Pantera was among one of them. I introduce all my nephew and nieces to this song in particular and thus far they were all blown away by it.

[@SteveSmallwoodthemachine]

Dime makes the guitar at parts makes you feel like it is crying and full of emotional sorrow. It's a masterpiece!

[@jameszero8816]

My fav band ever. Saw them twice live. Next up do Domination live in Moscow, then do album versions of this love, hollow, becoming, by demons be driven.....basically can't pick a bad song because it doesn't exist!

TO HELL WITH THE DEVIL! I remember Stryper, they had 1 hit. Pantera is amazing.
