Therapist Reacts to Cemetery Gates by Pantera

Therapist analyzes the lyrics to Cemetery Gates to discuss how we often want to pass the cemetery gates to connect with those we have lost and share all of the things we left unsaid with them. The hardest part of grief is often passing the cemetery gates and back into real life. This song can help in that process.

I clearly remember buying the cassette on the day it came out. Yeah, we old

@justinkase1360 does it mean I'm really old if I drove to the mall Tower Records for Cowboys? (Just got my license so it isn't that bad)

❤ As a former road crew member and friend of Darrell I still struggled with the death of him for 20 years now but tonight (Oct.21,2024 @6:30 p.m. C.S.T.) you helped me get a little closer to the healing of my pain of his loss. Thank you ma'am.

[@scottlaughlin9897]

I thought the band stopped because Phil left? And if that’s so?, then why didn’t the killer go after him instead? Or am I an idiot? Nothing but mad respect for Darrell.

[@Gunderson105]

I hear you Terry. Still places I can't go in Dallas due to memories with Darrell.

[@shmick6079]

@terry damn man that is rough. I never met the band, but as a 21yo when it happened, I’d never been so upset about a celebrity death. It’s happened a couple of times since when Robin Williams and then Big Vin passed unexpectedly. Dimebag was an incredibly special guy, and I think he touched more people than he ever realised. RIP 🤘🏼

[@laeonflux]

Ok, now you need to listen to the album version so you get the full experience of this song. The intro is so beautiful, people always make the mistake of reacting to the official video and chop off an amazing part of the song. Another Pantera song that would be interesting for you to analyze is Hollow, a really sad song that reflects on the grief of losing someone without them even being actually dead.

[@ronsissons8994]

Yes, I was expecting the beginning of the song and it came in like 1/3 rd of the way. Tragic.

[@mannistef]

Ah well. YT reactors will do the music video and understandably so

[@stevefilley9765]

Been there😊😊😊

[@Wreckageintow]

Oh man.......Dimebag, oh how i miss Dimebad, and Vinnie, may they rest and rock in peace, never got to see them live, Dimebag the greatest, so much light, so much soul, so much feel

[@MRxMADHATTER]

Pantera is an amazing band. MORE PANTERA!! ❤🤍💙

[@hypocrisy5336]

Hell yeah, Pantera! Been a fan since mid 90´s!

[@Ancient_Drummer]

What made it even more tragic is that it was done in front his brother, Vinnie, the drummer. Nickelback wrote a song about it called "Side of a Bullet", where they used an unreleased (at the time) solo of Dimebag Darrell in the song. Very cool tribute to DD & Pantera.

[@stevefilley9765]

The song Betrayed, By Avenged Sevenfold is a song that was written for the tragic death also.😊😊😊 almost forgot Phil did some vocals on it also. They are huge Pantera fans. Just a FYI 😊😊😊

[@Mr.Sidenote]

I was living in Grove City and was very disappointed that I didn't have a way to get to the show. You can imagine the shock of seeing the next day's Columbus Dispatch. Later, a fundraiser was held down the street for Nathan Bray, which I was able to attend. When I moved to Texas in 2012, I visited Dime's gravesite. It still seems very surreal that I could have been at the club that night. You never hear from any of the traumatized fans who were.

[@jaycurry758]

Pantera is my favorite band, so please more pantera I’d love to hear your perspective on them because I believe Phil uses his lyrics as a form of catharsis rather than trying to influence bad choices.

[@red-stapler574]

The next Pantera song you should do is "This Love". Perfect for this channel.

[@BruceWayneBrady]

This was also the first Pantera song i heard when I was 13. It's still one of my favorites. You picked a great one to start with

[@deadlyqueen4005]

If we’re doing Pantera now I totally recommend doing Walk, This Love, I’m Broken, Floods, or Suicide Note Pt 1 and 2. Those are the first songs that come mind that can have a great discussion about mental health

[@Arkryal]

Hell Yeah... (wait.. that might be out of context, lol). But "This Love" would be a homerun for this channel. They have a lot of great songs, but I think that's the one for this audience. "Walk" would be a close runner-up. I know those are their "radio songs" and maybe a bit over-played relative to the rest of their catalogue, but those songs have the right message.

[@canonthomasen3219]

Legends! The best to ever do it! 💯

[@steveallen3594]

Dimebag is a legend, he still can not be matched in skill. Just a true master of his craft.

You've missed out on the beautiful intro from the album version. The official video is cut.

[@cookypuss8603]

Every single person that reacts to this song leaves out the intro and it sucks cause the intro is awesome.

[@rebelzuk]

Broken & Five Minutes Alone are absolute banger Pantera songs

[@KMF_Talon]

[@akimbofresh8109]

@@KMF_Talon You mean like every genre of music? Crazy.

[@Cadinho93]

"The guitar is like another voice" is the best way to describe how Dimebag Darrell played guitar. He was the best at what he did! Also, Phil Anselmo's vocals are insane on this entire album. From the aggressive metal vocals, to beautiful cleans, to Rob Halford-style highs. "Cowboys from Hell" is such a landmark album.

[@TYO-f4i]

I used to play drums in rock bands this pantera album was a huge influence! This is an awesome SONG Great vid Uk Rocker... Rip the brothers from Pantera! 💜

Best reaction (breakdown) to this song ever! Keep being a positive ray of sunshine ! 🤘🏼greatest Rock band ever

[@tiffymcconkey]

Miss Dime and Vinnie so much. Dimes guitar and Vinnie on drums, is unmatched

[@LostHate]

Request #4 for Hellyeah - Love Falls. Hellyeah is a super group of which the drummer is Vinnie Paul of Pantera and Dimebag Darrell's brother. Chad Gray (from Mudvayne) is on vocals and imo best lyricist in metal. You'll definitely love it.

[@kylegaston6370]

Hollow is another great song by them

[@MedTechMetal]

That's the one song of theirs I can't make it through without breaking down. It's almost word for word what happened to my best friend Josh. Really only difference was I was close with his father. His mother abandoned him when he was 2. He had a brain aneurysm at age 21. Left him a vegetable for 20 years before he passed

[@drej1714]

On this album, Phil's voice was top notch. He blew it out during this tour and it was never the same again. Saw them live in Baltimore back in 1998.

[@Tinymonster74]

This Love is definitely a must do.

[@Gforceracing20]

While I support Cemetery Gates as the intro song for new Pantera listeners, Hollow was the song that resonates with me as I watched my 20 yr old friend waste away before me from cancer.

If "Im Broken" isn't on the listen too list there is no hope for humaity!. Ok that was a bit dramatic, but it is worth an earful.

Agreed. From a therapist's perspective, she'll probably get more from a song like that than from maybe something like Walk, though they're all great in their own right.

[@TyroneBiggins81]

Domination live in Moscow. That’s Pantera

[@Bill_pierre]

As the Soviet Union fell, after generations of rock music being highly oppressed, a massive rock concert was held called the Monsters of Moscow, which Pantera played at (along with AC/DC, Metallica and some others) to a crowd of roughly 1.5 million people. The video footage is absolutely insane, and to see such a massive crowd gathered and celebrating their liberation from the oppressive government they grew up under, through the music they had to listen to in secret. The Soviet Union officially ended in December of '91, but this concert was held in September a few months prior, while the collapse was underway. It's a pretty powerful moment to see, if nothing else but for the historical aspect of it.

[@artbrandon4958]

You should always look for the album recording always. There is so much more to the song than this shortened television version

My grief moment was when my grandfather passed away. We were getting ready to go to the service and I knew that I couldn’t be strong for my grandmother and so instead of me being embarrassed, obviously wouldn’t have been but depression is a wonder, I didn’t go. My grandfather was the greatest man in my life and I robbed my self the way to properly grieve and show respect for him because my fear of being embarrassed overwhelmed me. I had a difficult time finding the right medication for my bipolar and depression so I quit 4 years ago and I’m better than I was. Not saying I don’t have struggles and episodes regularly because we all do. I’m just demonstrating how I relate to that lyric and btw this song is on my daily playlist

[@body_by_depuy]

That was me when my dad died. I cried as I told my wife about it when I got off the phone with my mom when she told me about the accident that morning. That was it. I had to be the one to get through everything, the conversations with the funeral home, the preacher, the graveyard...everything down to coordinating the event on the morning of the funeral. I let my brother and my sister and my mom turn into emotional wrecks for those 4 days. My biggest fear is that others (the friends and family at the funeral) thought that I didn't care about his death because of how I had to act.

[@jimini1976]

While I listened in the background I researched the last name Palmby because I dont know anyone else with that last name. Very interesting history that goes back around 1000 yrs to England and some viking heritage, Cool stuff🤟🤪🤟 Been hearing Pantera since the 90's, just another golden oldie to me. Cant wait for Taylor to hear some Nightwish songs and the whole 80s hairband thing.

Hello beautiful lady, excellent reaction Pantera, the best I would like since I see that you analyze the lyrics of the songs and you enjoy the music that you would react to a Mexican band The Warning, they are very good. I recommend to start with Hell You Call a Dream at the Pepsi Center as well as Evolve, Choke, Error, and many more. I congratulate you.

[@johnnyeproductions]

Rock In Peace my brothers, Dimebag & Big Vin! Pantera is my favorite metal band of all time, wearing a Pantera shirt as I type this lol There is much more to the gunman about just being upset they broke up. He was a Vet with PTSD who also thought that Pantera was stealing his songs, that he wrote them. He was obviously dealing with a lot of mental health issues. The gunman also killed 3 other people that night, one was a security member of the band, and a security guy for the club, and a fan who had ran on stage to try and stop the gunman. He had shot another tech of the band several times and was holding him hostage, when the 1st officer on scene seen him and took one shot to take out the gunman. That officer had a lot of PTSD after that event as well from having to shoot and kill the gunman. I got to meet Pantera a couple of times, the last being on their final tour as Pantera for Reinventing the Steel tour. If I had known in 4 years Dime would no longer be with us, I would have gone to see them as Damageplan. The 1 show they played close to me I had to work so I thought "oh, I'll catch them next time." Sadly there was not a next time. I did get to see Vinnie with Hellyeah, hung out with Dime's long time gf Rita Haney.. but yeah, still hurts me to this day. I have CFH tattooed on my arm with a guitar headstock of one of Dime's signature guitars.e gunman

[@davidtaylor1299]

The person who killed Dime was also Schizophrenic and was discharged from the military because of it, which ironically is how he got the gun he used. His mom bought him it as a gift for completing a year in the military. Also, I believe when they looked through his notebooks and talked with people that knew him, he was under the impression that the members of Pantera were stealing his thoughts and laughing at him.

Hi Taylor, such a good reaction, and your research into the meaning was fantastic. Dimebag Darrell is widely considered as one of the best metal guitarists of all time. Jonathan Davis of Korn made a comment that implied Korn was heavily influenced by Dimebag. Sorry for going on and on. I really enjoyed this reaction.
