When he hits that harmonic right before the breakdown gets me every time

At 72 I’m starting to really like metal bands and that is surprising to me. I never listened to the lyrics or the musicianship involved. Thanks youngster 💜👵🏼✌🏼

There's a reason Eric Clapton was a fan of Dimebag Darrell.... I'm glad I got to see him at the Spectrum in Philly! RIP Legend

The video for I'm Broken is the ultimate Pantera in my mind. Heavy and funky.

i think eventually there will be (talent wise) no one can replace the man himself, and when we do see an equal talent wise, dimebags name will be written all over him because 10000% dimebag would be the reason of their success as a guitarist. Imagine a kid on the shitter right now rockin a pantera shirt just ripping away on his guitar, no real training, just playing with passion and instinct, who knows lol

I feel so bad for you young ones that didn't get to see Pantera live! It was AWESOME! I've still got picks, back stage passes and all other cool shit from the band. Me and some friends hung out with them after a show at the Whiskey in Hollywood, I think it was 89 or 90. Cool fun times, great guys, humble and sweet.

Agreed! Saw them at The Stone and Warfield in SF. The lady who used to cut my hair for 20 years was Sunny of Sunny Productions. She brought them to Sacramento the first time. We had dinner with them the night before their show. Vinnie taught the bartender to make Black Tooth Grins. Fun evening at the Mansion Inn right behind the War Memorial Auditorium.

You from Brum? Can sense an accent?

Ah, you are starting to headbang in the breakdown. Excellent.

The way you looked back at the monitor when he started the solo is the exact same reaction I had when I first listened to Domination.

Imagine hearing that in the 90's! This is why you kidz are loving this shit today.

Phil was in a couple projects starting back then. If you've ever heard "Stone the Crow" by the band Down, that's Phil on vocals. Song was pretty popular so you may have heard it in passing. Pantera song I recommend is "Becoming"

RIP dime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you were one of the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't forget Vinnie! If he wasn't back there beating those skins to death the song would have just been good. But the Abbot brothers together made it epic.

Those goosebumps, that feeling you got, that's proof that you're one of us, a Metalhead 🤘🤘🤘

Those goosebumps? You'll still be getting them 33 years, just as I do.

This guys face when Dime began soloing and his face as he realised what he was missing by looking at the camera instead of the screen, priceless!!! Dime was a one off, a legend in the truest sense!!! R.I.P to the brothers Abbott such a fucking tragedy!!!! 💔💔

When you check out "Cemetery Gates" make sure you get the full version. It just isn't quite the same song without Dime's intro solo, and the cut version removes it completely.

Nothing touches this IMO for raw expression and energy on stage, always blows me away Phil's and Dimebag's expression and movement in this video, it is just instinctual and raw. It is also why nothing can touch Pantera IMO, the chemistry of Phil and Dimebag, the way they seem to be able to feed off of one another you do not find often in music, and all the little natural fills you can hear in this music, Phil grunting in certain spots, Dimebag with the whammy bar.

Your Pantera baptism is now complete, enjoy the ride. Plenty more Pantera bangers out there to react to.

Mate just remember in the world of labels... Metal this and that.. Pantera are 'groove' metal... Just them...nobody else. And why,. because they are heavy as fook...but groovy..😎👊🤟

I think Slayer is progenitor of Groove Metal along with a bunch of Crossover bands from the 90's like D.R.I. and Suicidal Tendencies before Pantera's switch to Metal. Pantera perfected it tho. Groove Metal is the hidden metal subgenre that keeps getting misclassified for lack of understanding. Nu Metal is really just Groove Metal same thing as NWOAHM really being Technical Groove Metal. Groove is the sweet spot for metal music, if you think about it most of the best metal songs have the alot groove to them no matter the subgenre.

Dimebag personifies the definition of the percussive nature of Metal guitar that is so compelling! 🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽

I'm 46 and grew up listening to 80's/90's metal. I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard Pantera. It's amazing watching people reacting to these metal bands that all aren't metalheads and you can see them realize that they have been missing out. I love it.

🤘🤘🤘So excited!!! Next Pantera tune you should check out is Floods, or Cemetery Gates!!!

Old school, so much fun back in those days. This song brings back so many great memories. I actually had this concert on vhs tape

Everyone's first time reacting to this is always a treat. You never get that reaction a second time, because the second time you're head-banging with the rest of us.

Nobody sounds quite like pantera!

Yes, absolutely that's the video I wanted you to see

Cowboys From Hell and Vulgar Display of Power are two absolutely amazing albums from start to finish. I saw these guys in concert when Vulgar came out and it was one of the best shows i have ever seen. Phils vocals back then were insane and Dimebag was on another level playing the guitar. If only Dime and his brother were still with us. RIP

Great Southern Trendkill is also amazing, dark and unsettling. Very underrated. The classic's Far Beyond Driver B-side is weak as hell.

Oh brother. Cannot WAIT to see this. I already know your mind has been blown.

Imagine an empty gravel parking lot in the woods, several Jerry cans of gasoline, and a stack of shipping pallets for a bonfire. add beer and bunch of high school kids partying on a Friday night with this CD cranked full blast. Welcome to the 90s. I miss those days. 👊🤘

Yes, Phil's voice established that voice in metal. He was first and the world followed.

I'M BROKEN - their crowning glory. Perfection.

One of the best breakdowns ever. R.I.P. Abbott brothers, missed but never forgotten.

The slower bit you mentioned is called a breakdown. You can hear it in just about every metal core song these days. Im seeing Pantera in March, im so pumped! RIP vinnie and dimebag... the people that are standing in for them are very worthy.

Your gonna freak on this solo and the drop. I love the drop

This DOMINATION thing is the epithomy of live metal music performance - from the claim of Phil's vocal through the development of the idea and riveting solo to resolution by this heavy riff at the end and bowing down with the guitar griff... it's pure joy and satisfaction through and through.

Your face when shit gets real makes me chuckle, haha . You're one of us, one of us!

……this right hear my friend….. Pantera at their “Apex” 🔥❤️🎸 ……also was our anthem heading into the 90’s !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Seen them live ‘92 and ‘93 in a small venue and their shit was perfection. Plus I was trippin hard 😎

I say check out their song "Hollow" always makes me cry.

Heavy piece of art🤘🤘🤘 Pantera forever!

Pantera were a machine.. keep going down the rabbit hole of this killer outfit of metal 👊🏽

Dime was a legend. We all wanted to be him in the late 90s early 2000s. The most flamboyant guitarist in all of metal. Just a good soul dime was 😢 had the best hair too 🤷‍♂️

no one really sang like phil. he set the mold for this type of metal back then. even then the range he had IN THE BEGINNING was extraordinary. the highs and lows he could hit were incredible. concert after concert ended up shredding his vocal cords. listen to him today, he's basically a dinosaur growl.

Saw it live, in 1991. But still get goosebumps every time then see this video.

Phil influenced an entire new coming of vocalists, even shortly after Pantera got their break. That is probably why you recognize his voice, many people emulate him.

And here we are...finally So now you know why everyone says those certain songs must be heard Holy Wars....The Punishment Due

Glad you enjoyed. I saw them on the tour after this.

These videos were some odf the first I used to watch over and over back in the early days of YT.

This is what i looking for... My grandpa friend from moscow told my granpa,i was there,and a lot of people talking about 'we will never forget'

Three things, to fully understand. How Dimebag Darrell, developed his style. 1. He played guitar, everyday. He took that guitar with him. Where ever he went. That passion and drive, took him above other amazing guitarist. 2. He played live, which definitely. With his brother, made the band skyrocket. 3. He was a very humble individual. Taking time, to greet his fans. Those amazing notes, being played. There are called squeals, freaking amazing.

I. Am. HYPED on these reactions.. so genuine n relatable.. friggen hyped on more

Hahahahahahaha that face reaction after he says “the goosebumps” and the end of the video literally when I was 9 years old when I first heard that solo hahaha

There were 1.6 million people at this concert

Pantera took Metal to its Pinnacle right here on this Song , it is 2nd to None 🎸🔥💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Epic! 😎So glad you reacted to it! You might want to check out “mouth for war” or “this love” next 🤔🤣

Don't worry, Homes. That breakdown towards the end gives everyone goosebumps.

PANTERA= THE BEST TO EVER DO IT!!!

At this very moment Pantera began to, in fact, dominate metal.

Low key love the amount of treble coming from Vinny’s double bass!!

hell yea such an amazing song and band. love the breakdown

So glad you did the live gig🤘🤘

When pantera finished their show as they passed by Metallica Dimebag Darrel turned to kirt hamlett of Metallica and said" top that one boy" I seen the original pantera in concert in 1995 and their energy and talent was so extreme it was unreal. One of my favorite concerts I have ever been to,and I've been to many.

Ha ha. There was a day back in the 90s where I had a very similar reaction....the first time I heard them. Yeah, to this day, they are still on my playlist. I call it "morning coffee". Another note...the squeal from his guitar, he actually got paid to make that squeal. His guitar sponsor knew the crowd loved it.

super good man..continue

Greatest heavy metal guitar player ever. R.I.P Dime and Vin

One of the best breakdowns ever.

Great react! Keep 'em comin'! "This Love" "Cemetery Gates", "Floods" "Primal Concrete Sledge" "5 Minutes Alone" so many good ones to come...yes Pantera IS Groove Metal...they invented it...it's that little bit of Texas blues sprinkled on top slowing it down making it groooovy

Dime will always be a guitar legend in metal! RIP Dime!

Never seen any live performance more often … that means hundreds! And I still don’t get sick of it! My big request on your pantera journey is my fav song. Even if it’s not a „hit“: the art of shredding live 1990! It tells all about their underestimated talent: in- and outside … you will get it if you’re watching 😝

Seen them at Ozzfest 2000, they stayed as the band to play for The Ozzman himself, while he had a broken leg! Cali energy baby!

So many good songs Pantara was one of the best bands back in the day
