The first song is my everyday clock alarm lmao, works very efficient

Lol mine was Su*cide note pt 2 when the album came out until at least 2006.. it ALWAYS woke me up really fast from across the room!

[@victherattlehead5099]

Bro shit you not, I did this 2 years ago while in high school to this song

[@diesel3333]

LMAO! Friends, it's fuckin' impossible to keep snoozing with this song playing! And back in the day (the 90's in Brazil) I had an stereo system and the CD was playing and I had no remote control to stop it, so it was literally impossible to keep sleeping! Great strategy to get in the ROCK N ROLL VIBE ready to school! LOL 🤘🤘🤘

More extreme album

[@emrekt22]

[@ExWifeHaver287]

Trendkill is my favorite Pantera album. So underrated.

[@enriqueserrano7413]

For real

[@HeathenDance]

Hardly underrated, specially given the fact that they literally erased from History their albums from the 80's. But even so, I think is safe to say that Reinventing the Steel is the black sheep of their golden years.

[@RitualFlip]

Reinventing the steel is the super mario 2 of their discography, check out the terry date remixed version, sounds fucking incredible.. But yes, the great southern is their best album…

[@bpmcmanson8701]

Really? This was always my least favorite album, it had like 3 maybe 4 bangers and the rest were borderline skipable

[@stevenhenry5267]

Because it mostly sucks.

[@davidtynan13]

Rex's bass work during the solo of Floods is absolutely top tier work!

[@jakubkaras7810]

Song is magnificient

[@Xinmyhead]

Rex's playing is ridiculously good in every Pantera tune. Dude is as solid as granite. I'm glad you pointed it out bro

[@ryanmcclosky3312]

Absolutely

[@diesel3333]

Their BEST album in my humble opinion. Listened it probably 350 times! Thanks frrrrrriend!

[@togni9064]

if you analyse any non popular pantera song in depth you will be amazed at what they did... look at "it makes them disappear" or "shedding skin"... every band member was a great musician and they nailed every. single. song.

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Every single 1990-2000 song of them is a treasure

[@Dwendele]

I can agree with that... but for ME , Cowboys was their best. It's likely because of what was going on in my life when it came out. The other albums as whole albums just didnt hit the same for me. I love songs off ALL their albums.

[@jdhh1801]

@@AndriyVasylenkospeaking of treasures… you should totally look into Dimebag’s solo work, “The Hitz” album. Also a few songs only on KZbin such as “Blackout Society”. Also “Caged in Rage” is technically a pantera song but was recorded after Phil fucked off and it has Dime on vocals as well. Good stuff.

[@markparker6499]

Shedding Skin was my introduction to Pantera. Far Beyond Driven was their best album IMHO 🤘

[@TSE_WOODY]

I love shedding skin.

[@pastorofmuppets9346]

Lotsa hardcore pantera fans say this is their favorite but admittedly its the hardest album to get into initially. I dont really have 1 clear fav from them but theres some top tier songs in here

[@antonioreconquistador]

Its the first one i got really into, its just so lyrically and instrumentally amazing

[@k7j007]

I've noticed that a lot of my absolute favorite albums are albums that I didn't love on the first listen. As you listen each new time, it slowly starts to click with you, and eventually, you grow to love it. The great southern trendkill as a whole was like that for me, even though there were a few songs that I immediately really liked. It took time to really appreciate it as a whole record.

Rip Dimebag Darell and Vinnie Paul. I met Vinnie in LV a few years after dimebags passing while wearing a Rip Dimebag shirt. He complimented my shirt and got to shake his hand and talk for a bit. Such a nice dude. Vinnie was So Nice and always a drumming inspiration.

[@lucasgarcia1146]

One of my favorite bits of this album (besides Floods outro) has to be in Suicide Note Pt. II, when the band stops and then the guitar comes back near the end. It's outright diabolical, I love it

The heaviest, darkest, most experimental Pantera record, and absolutely underrated.

[@HeavyRaiden]

This song is one of their heaviest and the final bluesy section is the fruit on the cake! Awesome.

[@russl9029]

My favorite Pantera album! Also my first Pantera album. I got it from a friend at school and I've been a diehard fan ever since! Killer video!

[@warbound91]

My uncle gifted me the great southern trendkill for Christmas when i was a kid. I always thought it was an underated pantera album as it was so dark and heavy.

[@profanepersonality]

I was 15 when this album was released. Got it four days before it was officially released because I had the hookup at the local music shop (as soon as the store got a new albums delivered, I got it, no waiting until the official date). Walked out of the store, put it in my cousin's car's cd player, and how it kicked off blew our minds. It stayed in his cd player for over a week until we had it burned into our brain.

[@MC-bh8ph]

The holy Grail of heavy metal in my opinion. Glad to hear it get some love especially the title track. Definitely the most underrated Pantera record

[@leeyoungun]

Their best album. Heavy as fuck.

[@ObscuraDeCapra]

This whole album is a fucking masterpiece. It took me a looooong time to really wrap my puny brain around it because I just was not familiar with where it was coming from. I bought it right after it came out, put it on a shelf, and just walked away for a while. Maybe 8-9 years and a few hundred grindcore albums later I came back to it and the whole thing fell into place. If there's a heavier and more brutal album to go platinum I don't know what it is.

[@mathias8627]

They never played living through me, not even once

[@MrRbrown0329]

This album introduced me to pantera, and at that time it was the heaviest thing I've heard by a mile. Remains my favorite album by them to this day

[@brunobailly7013]

00:06 I remember putting this in my headphones in the morning back in high school... Just to wake me up a bit.😅

[@JSaltyfabricator]

I play it every time it's my turn to connect Bluetooth in the family mini van!! Best album opener ever!

[@JomboyTonesAgain]

Rex gets a lot of credit for the actual song writing and structure. Dime said he was much better at that than him. Rex would decide on traditions or come up with a modulation point or where to put certain riffs. Dime was the creator and Rex was the organizer in that relationship

[@skidcaesar]

Excellent breakdown. Love your zeal for metal. Great channel bro. 🤘🏻

[@apoplexiamusic]

4:53 Pantera actually djented first

[@johnmontiel3533]

I’ll always remember when I first heard the great southern trendkill. I was like whoa!! Wtf!!! Amazing

[@tombrenes2411]

New drivers license at 16 I took my uncles truck to watch skid row while the opening at was cowboys from hell. Pantera It blew my mind to watch them live Solid performance

[@manicmurph]

Probably one of my favorite Pantera records. I seen them on this tour in 96. I was only 13 and it was my first concert ever. Then I met them in 2000.

[@evandale7335]

The hihat count in at the end of The Underground in America into Sandblasted Skin hypes me up so fucking much. And don't get me started on how rowdy I wanna get when Phil screams "get outta fucking control" before the main riff kicks back end at the end of the song

[@jameswest4259]

This song and album rules, that song was my alarm clock song for a long time! I feel pretty certain that they actually played it on that tour I saw early on, I know they didn't play it much though, it rips! I saw them 5 times in the 90's and they were untouchable live!

[@d34dsatan]

Rest in Power Dime... Floods is fucking deep n heavy because of you...

[@stephenwinchester6668]

There is a video from 1988 where Dime is playing the outro for what would be Floods, crazy he had that idea for so long before it became part of a song.

[@slayabouts]

Trendkill might actually be my favorite album of theirs and this one is definitely my favorite off the album

[@roblewis3147]

Great job Andriy, this has always been my favorite Pantera album. It's so gritty and in your face. In my opinion it always was the best Pantera album,and I'm glad someone actually acknowledged this album, because it is extremely underated. (My favorite song on this album was always suicide note part one. Not because I ever thought about killing myself or anything like that,but Phil's vocals were spot on in that song, you could hear his range from everything to his heavy almost talking like a cereal killer to his high pitched screams. From the first line ,the song got me hooked. Just the way Phil says ", cheap cocaine,dry inhale" man,sends shivers up my spine. Again great Job)

[@IanK369]

I saw them on the Trendkill tour in the summer of '96. I still remember it very well. They did not perform TGSTK in its entirety but the verse was spliced into Cowboys From Hell. Great show.

[@trashmammal6968]

Will always be my favorite Pantera album, wouldn’t have stuck with guitar without hearing drag the waters for the first time \m/

[@toothless7053]

Southern Trendkill has always been my favorite album by Pantera. It’s the only album they have that I don’t skip a single song

[@wyldeman7]

My favorite album! That or rust in peace depending on the day. That opener is so good and gives you so much. The blues metal outro is perfection. Thats why dime was the best. He wasn't afraid to put some bends and some flaur into metsl songs. Like we can only palm mute and downpick power chords so much.

[@polarnaut9645]

"Phil's ASMR." That was funny.

[@Ptrixie]

Don't know how anyone can think this album was not that great. To me it feels like Pantera was letting Phil introduce more extreme metal influences and it sounds amazing for it.

[@stevenhenry5267]

No,it ruins it. Waaaaay too much mindless riffing.

You mentioned Rex doubling with Dime and the fullness it brought and that's no joke. Listen to the isolated tracks Dime laid down and it becomes super apparent how much of that power in their sound was, in fact, Rex.
