The breakdown of this song makes me feel like headbutting a tank.

Dimebag is one of the greatest heavy metal guitarists ever. You will dig Pantera Walk

this concert took place at the end of the soviet union so people were allowed to go to shows that were previously illegal. So for this show they chose an airfield and over a million people showed up to that show.

Phil Anselmos( the vocalist) performance at this show is hard to understand and I've been watching the performance for more then 10 years. Its one of my top 3 favorite performances of all time, but yeah Phil got so caught up in the energy he couldn't hardly articulate the lyrics. I can't fault him for it though, this concert was a historic moment for Eastern Europe.

I don't only like your reaction I love your response as you hear it man. Fantastic bud. Thanks for the vid

you just witnessed the greatest guitarist who ever lived rip dimebag

To be honest, i have been listening to rock music in general since i was like 11 or 12 years old. Still, it took me about 5 years of classic heavy metal before i could get into Pantera. The harsh vocals kept me back from really enjoying the music, but one day i had a revelation and, with lyrics in front of me, started browsing their stuff. Pantera since became one of my favorite bands, i really came to understand their themes and style and truly appreciate how talented they were. Bottom line, give them a chance, they may be hard to understand, but, from a musical perspective, almost all their stuff is just great compositions.

No, it's not a free style bro. Bands often jam, and that's kind of a freestyle as you say, and out of many jams the songs start to form

I’m a hip hop / gangsta rap head too. Ex cholo From the hood. ive been listening to this heavy shit too since the 80’s only because I’ve played the drums & guitar for 20+ years. You’re missing out homie. A lot of people who listen to this are musicians that play instruments

Dime was one of the best guitar players in metal. R.I.P.

Dude i can appreciate this reaction. Youre willing to expand your mind to something youre not familiar with and getting out of your comfort zone. Pantera was an amazing band. Id suggest for them, print out the lyrics and stick with studio versions. Their live shows are great but the lead singer, Phil Anselmo can be tricky to understand live. Great reaction bro! Keep it up!!

Honestly this is exceptional live metal. Even I only listen to metal or country or rock, rap, what when Im in that mood. This was played to un freed russians who could only get this on underground tapes. Then the current fell. Think about movie sound tracks, there is a tone for every situation. If you get highly motivated you may get this. To me this is the brother of NWA and other hard core rap.

Pantera is one of my favorite bands of all time. "Cowboys from Hell" was a life changing album for me, when I was young. The title track," Cemetary Gates", and Primal "Concrete Sledge" were epic. The later with the release of "Walk" they showed you how HARD three cords repeating could be. Keep up the good work.

I love your honesty man, ive seen lots of reaction channels where people ("hip hop fans") react to stuff and like everything, but i really dont see how they can like some extreme or very complicated sorts of metal. I dont feel they are honest. Im a huge metalhead, i have like 15 concert tickets, including 2 for slayers last tour. A 6 hour drive, and a plane ride to get there. With that said, i first DID NOT like this stuff, i couldnt get into it. You have to ease into it to be able to understand it. You cant just start listening to Reign In Blood or Archspire or Advent Sorrow after youve been listening to pop your whole life. You just cant

Love what you are doing, I'm in love with most musical styles. I lean towards metal and rock as well as 90's hip-hop. Keep up the great work!

That guitar is a writen piece. You can't compare how this is recorded with hip hop my friend. Completely different.

i really enjoyed your reaction and thoughts on my favorite heavy band of all time

Metalhead here and I subbed as soon as you mentioned DIO. Metal Mondays, WTF Wednesdays, Friday Nights Live.....good stuff!! Awesome channel, keep up the great work \m/ \m/

You’re asking all the right questions, my friend. Keep digging. You’re on a shining path, please keep it up!!!

2:48 - Although reaction channels aren't new or special per se, what makes me want to subscribe is whether or not I like the "reactee's" personality. I can usually tell within the first couple of minutes after visiting a new channel whether or not I want to sub....and you definitely have my support bro. EDIT: And props for the Johnny Cash shirt!

Seeing this video and the mass of people and the raw energy gives me chills... For real

The riffs are written.

You are one of the best music reaction channels on KZfaq by far my dude. I love that you are always real and will ask some real questions. Not just pretending to be interested.. I subscribed after I saw your first video! Please keep them coming man

Its a structured song , not a free style , although this a great live recording, i would stick with studio versions that are much cleaner . Some songs need a listen or two to apprrciate them , some just one listen .

Phillies hat, Johnny Cash t-shirt and jammin out to Pantera.... My kinda person, dude! Definitely subbed!

The guitar player is dimebag Darrell.. unfortunately he was murdered on stage. He was the heart and sole of that band. He is the reason to listen to Pantera. His brother is Vinnie the drummer, and is equally bad ass. Love the vids, more Pantera please!

That simple honesty just earned you a subscriber mate :D

Absolutely a 100% genuine reaction video. You don't understand it. You gave it a shot. And I respect you for that. You said what you enjoyed about it. And you said what you didn't. What more can people ask for. Much respect and love

I've seen Pantera in concert 9 times.................... you understood me correctly, 9 fucking times. 🤘

It's good to see non-metal heads try to expand their horizons. Cheers ! Dimebag Darrel is one of the best guitarist of all time. There is no synching here man; it's all raw and natural talent. The crowds are from one show in Russia. I am not a fan of the vocalist but the rest of the band is amazingly talented.

You make sense. You do you bro, I subbed just because of the statements in your intro before the reaction.

Your awesome man! It does take a while to be able to bet into "the groove" to noise dense or fast metal, but after a while it does start to make sense. It might take some listens though. Keep on going mate!

Metal Mondays "Disposable Heroes" - Metallica WTF Wednesdays "Bring the Noise" - Anthrax & Public Enemy Friday Night Live Muse - Live at Wembley Stadium (entire show, or if that is too much, try any song, but I would start with the opener. All are equal or better than the studio versions and they had yet to release a bad album.)

Listening to metal is like learning a new language. You hear and understand all of it with time. Ive been listening to it since i was 5 or 6 yrs old (like you said- listening to this most of my life) because of my older cousins being big in the 80s metal scene and playing it around me. I will say, you will get into progressively heavier stuff with time. :) Pantera is one of my favorites, but there is also soooo much more heavier metal out there! Lol.

This is one of my favorite reaction channels so far since it’s real. You don’t pretend to like every song or put crazy ass cover images for every video so it actually feels like an authentic opinion.

Metal is a way of life. You’re all in or you’re not. Digging the content. Keep it coming.

The thing is with metal is that the lyrics are secondary to the instruments. Even guys that have been listening to metal for a while only know what they are saying is because like you said, we have been listening to it for a while. What metal tries to do is get you pumped up and releases all your anger and frustration in a good way. Not everyone is going to like all types of music and that is okay. But as long as you are having fun then keep on keeping on!

all of the parts in the songs (guitar, bass, drums, vocals, ect) are all pre written and arranged. usually the guitar solo is also, but some guitarists have been known to do some ad libbing too... which is part of what makes the live shows so good.

Dude I love what your doing. Listening to stuff out of your comfort zone is a lesson we all could learn from. I try but sometimes it's too hard for me. Keep doing what you're doing. Don't listen to the mouth breathers man. Obviously you're a man who wants to experience more, and you're better for it.

Bro, I LOVE seeing your reactions because it makes me remember why I love the music that I do; which is metal. Metal is a musical outburst of emotion; be it anger, rage, sadness, even happiness! As for patterns, don't look for them, take a ride with the song, and let the music hype you up, cool you down. With bands like Pantera, it's all about aggression. You have to just go with the intensity of the pace, and catch a breather when they hit the breakdown. Let the music just control the energy that it causes. The guitar, it's an instrument that is versatile and in metal, is used to put the layers on top of the timing of the drums, all supported by the bass player holding down the foundation. Guitarists (myself included) play their rhythm's, then break into leads (solos) which are either patterns (probably the only "patterns" you'll find in metal), and some simply improvise their solos based upon how they feel when it comes time to play the solo. Again, with bands like Pantera, its all about ferocity and power man. Thank you for checking it out and taking a look at what our metal culture is like. It's absolutely influenced to branch out myself, into hip hop and see what I've been missing. Frankly speaking, as a metal guitarist, I'd love to get up with some hip hop heads and see what kind of music could be created. And that's what music is all about.

Love that Johnny Cash shirt man! That's one crowd....Monsters of Rock was a huge show. Kinda like Lollapalooza where several bands play like a festival.

Yo that sounds like a good schedule. Do it your way it's your journey were just here to guide and watch

Dude, this was one of the best live videos of all time. How you're not banging your head is beyond me. Dimenpbags solo is epic, may he and Vinny, that insane drummer RIP.

I reqlly appreciate how honest this reaction is dude , keep it up !

As a metalhead, the whole shouting thing is interpreted less as "why are you so angry at me? " and more like a "I'm yelling cause I'm excited!"

Everytime I hear this tune.... makes me wanna slap my next door neighbor....

good on you man for giving it a chance. music is life.

That’s so cool you immediately appreciated Dimes guitar playing. Now I’m rambling....hahah anywho cheers bro.

Cant wait for some tool. I am 100% certain you will love "The Pot" by tool.

At least you're honest. I feel the same way concerning hip hop.

He only reaction vlogger to break the 4th wall in a way. Reacting to just music not boxing himself into the material to react to. Honesty is refreshing here. Kudos my man

Ha! This was awesome. You heard a Dimebag solo and got so flustered you almost paused the camera. That is what sets him apart! Love it.

to be fair he is just screaming those lyrics. the studio version has him singing notes, but in this he is holding none. guitar riffs can go on and in long loops and totally switched up as you see with hiphop but there are no real limits to how structured/unstructured it can be, depends on your tastes, some bands are easier to absorb than others but your ear gets used to more complex riffs if you take the time. try some Iron Maiden live vids, Maiden is always good live. "Fear of the Dark", "Hallowed Be Thy Name" for examples.

RIP Dimebag

Love your videos !

RRT, Oh hell yeah!!!! Great reaction!! Don't worry about not understanding the music, just enjoy it. We love hearing your reactions and respect them all. No way are you offending. It's all about learning new music for yourself. Love your honesty on everything! That is what makes your channel so different from all these other music reaction channels! This was lit! Check out some Iron Maiden in the future! I think you will like them. Peace!

I feel your need for variety. Respect!

It actually has a fairly simple, but badass, guitar riff. For you I’d recommend focusing on the drum beat and the rest might fall in place around it.

You can never argue with that solo and the breakdown that follows...so dope👌👌

I love hearing your raw breakdown of this! I’ve heard this a million times, still listen to it every week. I also saw them 15 times live. It’s awesome hearing an outside perspective. I’ve been playing guitar for 30 years and these guys are my favorite metal band! I’m also big on all other music, especially hip-hop and Motown. I feel you! Thank you for helping build this bridge! Maybe check out Hed PE, punk rock and hip hop! Love those guys too! I bet I could put together a playlist you’d like of mixed Hard Rock and Metal! Music is language and we all have different slang! We are all family 😘❤️ Try Megadeth-Holy Wars

Ill try to explain to you what you’re hearing. It’s in a 4/4 count. And everything your hearing is on rhythm. What you saw there with the fast moving fingers is called a solo. It can be performed on any instrument but usually occurs on guitar. The drums and bass carry the rhythm but the drummer does a lot of what are called fills. That’s when he usually hits stuff in a faster motion but always comes back to the to carry the timing. Some bands have two or more guitars. What you are hearing in that 4/4 are notes/chords/drums being played on 1/8th, 1/16th, 1/32th beat. Metal is a lot of double bass on the drums and distortion on the guitar. Bluegrass and classical music are the most closely associated types of music due to the speed and precision it requires. With a lot rock and roll mixed in. The original form of hip-hop/rap music is blues. Robert Johnson is one of my favorites. He was the original pimp musician.

Here's a few new directions for you to check out for a WTFW: Fela Kuti--Water Get No Enemy (Afrobeat) David Bowie--Golden Years (Blue Eyed Soul) Kate Bush--Running Up That Hill (Outsider Pop)

You rocked this reaction Brother!

Pantera is one of the best bands ever!! Thanks for your reaction..keep listening to them more!

"The patterns" are...power. Oh, and Diamond Darrell.

Great rection, tell it as you see it mate. WTF Wednesday try Ozric Tenracles - Waterfall City

Yeah it does makes sense, you are trying expand your musical tastes and whether that takes you into metal or rock, or hard rock or new wave or whatever, kudos for you for not pandering. Dude I listen to everything, mostly rock and metal but I grew up on hip hop, michael jackson, pop music and spanish music so I hear you brah. Im going to throw a curve at you listen to Radiohead "I might be wrong". It's "different". Good luck, btw you got a new subscriber for being real, keep it up dude.

Love the channel...I've been to over 300 live shows...all styles...I will say, live...Muse and Rammstein are two of my favorites

Unfortunately you'll never get to hear any new Pantera. Dimebag Darrell was shot on stage and killed and the band had broken up long before that.

Think of the vocals as another instrument m8

Your making sense and being open to different genre of music. I love good music. Real easy don’t like don’t listen. Sounds simple. But I want you to know I do love your channel. Ty for your open mindedness to try new music I’m a metal head who loves old school rap. Like naw or lol cool j or even too short

You got to think of it this way, the words are not directed at you, normally these angry words are directed at the government, or at certain parts of society, or maybe at certain people (like the case with 5 minutes alone). We get together as a group to take out our aggression about these injustices that we see and have a good time too.

He's not free styling bro. If you listen to the album it's almost the exact same. Technicality is a big part of metal but the most important thing thing is to have a good hook..a guitar riff with a good drum beat that really grabs you and pumps you up. A rough metal formula is intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, middle break down (on your video the middle breakdown riff is at 12:34) then ending parts. This formula variates of course because the songs would become too predictable but this song follows that formula pretty close.. I think if a GOOD metal musician who's also a rap fan and truly understands rap were to work with a rap musicion, they'd make something special.

Your reaction is totally normal is Pantera dude!!

That was a great honest reaction!

Hey man I gotta listen to a hip hop song a few times before it really lets me discover what I like about it.

Monday: Insomnium - While We Sleep Wednesday: Twelve Foot Ninja - Coming For You (video) Friday: Alice In Chains - Nutshell (unplugged)

Fuuuuck yea bro great choice

Great seeing you react - if you’re feeling Pantera, you have to check out Cemetary Gates... Metal Monday won’t be complete until you do

That's the very best reaction i ever saw! "i don't understand that", "it's a job listenin to it"... "i learn" that's the fuckin point! so true and honest if you get in touch with music that you've never heard before. i love pantera like crazy but i also love bee gees, dolly parton, busta rhymes, ... it' all about being open minded to unknown things and people in life and tryin' to understand each other. peace.

Anything by Buckethead, there are no lyrics but you will like the guitar.

Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark Live in Argentina (Flight 666)

Appreciate you not leaving metal out.

Gotta give it you, very humble and honest comments you gave - you exposed your confusion which is what most people are going through in the beginning. A hint - the vocals are not angry at you as a listener, they are supposed to be the angry/confused side of the people releasing their discomfort with whatever is troubling in life. So Phil (the singer) is giving your sad and angry thoughts the outside voice you experience inside.... Probs bro, no music style is bad, mostly just misunderstood

R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell. The man was a real surgeon with his guitar. Some other Pantera songs you could and should listen to is "5 Minutes Alone" "This Love" "Cemetary Gates" "Walk" and "Cowboys From Hell". I never considered them Metal myself. But more Agressive Rock for sure. If you ever wanted a shot of Adrenaline or to cure your anger one day through rock music this is the band to give you your fix.

Mate you look really good for your age how are you 62, you look 30 to me well done. Can you react to ride the lightning Metallica , awsome song or Rocket man elton John for a different genre

You did get it! Because you can't NOT get the heaviest breakdown EVER! Emphasis on the double negative. First time watching your videos. Glad you came around.

appreciate the honesty...your right.. it was a job to listen to.. but someday.. right at the solo... hooked

React to TOOL - 46 & 2

Metallica- Battery live in Seattle 1989

Dimebag was one of the greatest guitarist's that ever lived bro. He has some of the most iconic metal riffs out there. It is a tragedy that he is no longer with us.

awesome video to react too! Also in regards to understanding what they are saying or talking about in the songs... for me anyhow... I rarely pay any attention to lyrics in metal or rock until I know I like the songs structure/beat/sound and in general the song as a whole... including vocals, but mainly only consider the vocals as a vessel for melody or percussion. Once I really dig the song... they I try to understand what they are saying! lol

Enter Sandman Live from Metallica or Tool Live. I’ll drop some links hah

Great live song Grateful Dead song Estimated Prophet from Barton Hall, Cornell 1977 make sure to type sbd for a sound board recording which will sound crystal ckear

I like that you went into it with an open mind. Honest reaction

:)...Nice...I just subbed to you on your war pigs...it's so cool you're checkin this...My boy did ink on these guys...Dime's (the guitarist) story is a sad story...Phil (the singer) might send you a note...He did it for Lost in Vegas... Yo, I see you rockin a Phillies hat...You in the city?...I'm from and still live right next to 19142

React to IRON MAIDEN - FEAR OF THE DARK (EN VIVO) i was in that concert, BEST CROWD EVER!!!!

Bruh... can I send you a battery for your smoke detector.. safety first man..and that shit is loud AF lol

Great reaction it’s great to see a Real reaction for once!! Metal is an acquired taste but can be fun. But the best part of metal is seeing a live show or for any style really. It makes great memories where you might catch a rare performance from your favorite artist.
