How can you be a metal composer and have only first heard Pantera for the first time one day ago?

Phil, in his prime, could sing anything. He uses so many different vocal techniques/styles in his songs, that it is wild, really.

The art of shredding should be your next watch

Dimebag was the guitarist and his brother vinnie Paul was the drummer that’s why the guitar and drums synced up so well. They were playing together since they were little boys.

One that doesn't get tossed around that much is the studio version of The Art of Shredding, I love that one

Their official videos for Cemetery Gates and this song cut off quite a bit off of both those songs. And they’re not just a small section either, they’re significant portions

THIS was a great starting point even tho most folks start with "Walk"...other good tracks "Cemetery Gates", "Cowboys From Hell", "Floods", "Broken" "5 Minutes Alone" "Domination" "Primal Concrete Sledge" SOOOOO many others...

You should do cemetery gates for sure but the official video has a minute and 35 seconds taken off of the intro and begins at the drop so I'd suggest a lyric video or just the regular studio verson

Welcome to the party. They are one of the best

They edited some of this song for the video but it still rocks. Pantera is devil blues.

Yea dude definitely need to do a deep dive, they have 5 albums (besides their glam/power metal days) which influenced so much of all modern metal, you surely need to find a time of the day and just listen to all of it, you can do it within a few hours and I’m sure it will give you new perspectives on composing

Pantera is awesome. You need to deep dive.

To be fair about the odd inflection in Phil's singing, hes from New Orleans and thats pretty much his natural drawl coming through. Kind of shines the light on the imitators that came later using a southern drawl just to sound like Pantera.

You need to listen to the full album version. This one is edited and shorted some.

No one ever gives Rex the respect he deserves!! You gotta be a total badarse to stand beside Dime and do your thing!! He makes the bass and drum sound like ONE machine!!

The studio version is much better than the music video. There's a beautiful outro at the end of the song

Cemetary Gates is a masterpiece

The disparity between the volume of your mic vs the video volume. If I want to also listen while you do then my eardrums get blown. Leaving a like even though I can not watch.

a Metal composer that hasn't heard Pantera before?? how???

Ahh no! One of the best bits has been cut out of this version. Youve gotta make sure to react to a complete album length version of Pantera's tracks.

Try “im broken” that song is an absolute banger

Cowboys from Hell, Cemetery gates, Walk. By then, you will be a Pantera-head and can show us what you have learned.

All aboooard (The Pantera Train)...! This should be fun. Keep going until the end of the discography. Maybe go in chronological order even? From the 1st album, listening through each album from start to finish (or one song at a time, but in order). He'll be in for a real twist with them first albums...

Video version cuts out an awesome scream

Far beyond driven is by far the heaviest album to ever debut at number 1, definately worth a listen

Cowboys from Hell is an awesome track, and can't forget Cemetary Gates.

The alternative metal vocalist yeah thing is influenced mainly by Eddie Vedder. Pearl Jam fame. The style is often referred to as a singer being a yaller.

Please do a reaction of Vulgar Dispaly of Power album from Pantera

I'm Broken is my fav. A good starting point is Cowboys From Hell 🔥🤘😎

Rest in peace Dimebag Darrell Lance Abbott and Vinny Paul Abbott 😢 Dime was and still is the greatest metal guitarist in music history.... Period.... If you're really not familiar with Pantera, you should check out "Cemetery Gates, Walk, The Floods, and 10's" just for starters!

Interesting for Pantera still sounds fresh, at times even modern, while Metallica of the same period now sounds more like their predecessors. Which is not a bad thing, it's just a difference.

Pantera is the direct link between 80s metal and Nu-Metal. They brought a guttural growl in the vocals with an overall laid-back attitude. When they were peaking Grunge was on the downfall. Unfortunate circumstances caused the band to cease just after the new millennium.

If you do Cemetery Gates, please don’t do the video. It’s extremely shortened. Do the album version. They really don’t have bad songs. Just different degrees of greatness. I would just start with track 1 of the Cowboys from Hell album and roll through them all!

everybody is a composer or a Voice teacher !!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

so many good songs to come!!! Dimebag is the greatest metal guitarist ever...Groove Metal is they style and these guys invented it! influenced by thrash and hardcore (punk) among other things...Texas Blues for one...YES influenced Slipknot for sure...and nu metal in general!~!! FUN FUN FUN do more...NEW to channel and sub'd!

Pretty much every 90s band is influenced by them

The video title is a contradiction in itself, not very believable.

I will say that early in his career Phil Anselmo had a great voice, but I understand your dislike of the nu-metal teeth gritting “hhhrrrrrhh” tone trailing off the lines. The thing about Phil Anselmo is he isfrom New Orleans, Louisiana , which in the native tongue of most English speaking Americans is damned near its own language unto its own , hence the drawl with which his delivery has. They truly were innovators, but as with a new path being forged there undoubtedly always comes the copycats who are pale imitations and they always seem to pick up on the lamest elements of who they are hoping to cash in on stylistically. I feel you might be blown away by the track Use My Third Arm. Arguably their heaviest track and I can most assuredly see where the spawning of the ever popular Djent of today’s acts. Lyrically I feel it’s rather weak, but it did cater to that inner rage of youth that seems to dispossess one of more rational faculties, but that’s metal in a nutshell for so many kids & sadly some adults who never got the memo to let that shit slide.

Metal composer is the most fake made up title I've ever heard. I know, technically it's a musical composition, but the fact that you're calling yourself a composer is just hilarious.

You’re a metal composer and you’ve never heard Pantera? I don’t t buy it

This dude don’t know shit about metal

Gosh, hope for you pantera's fans domt recognize you on the street after having said Nu-metal and limp biskit

The original is better

Corey Taylor sucks compared to Phil

"Metal Composer Hears PANTERA for the First Time" - 2/10 for acting.
