Amen. The intro adds a lot to the song

This is a cut version, the first 1 and half minutes was removed. The original had a wonderful gentle acoustic guitar, eerie guitar solo, and softly sung lyrics. Up until hearing this cut version, I was unaware of how much that intro really set the mood for the rest of the song. You should definitely check out the uncut version, it's 7 minutes long.

The longer version with the softer guitar intro and vocals is far superior

The high squeaks (usually called squeals) are harmonics. Part of Dimebag Darrell`s (R.I.P) signature style was dipping the whammy bar (called a tremolo arm, even though it's actually for vibrato), hitting the harmonic and then pulling up the bar, making the harmonic scream.

Even after listening to Pantera for 25ish years, theres something about Dimebag's style that never click in my head until a few months ago. Watching The Fairy Voice Mother's reaction she concluded that his playing style is that of a singer more than most guitarists. Ever since hearing that, I've been hearing some of those one-in-a-million guitarists very differently

Ah, Dimebag's guitar tone... that quality you describe is because when it comes to guitar gear, Dimebag was a little different from his peers. At the time (and even today), most guitarists were running through amplifiers that use vacuum tubes as transistors, while Dime's were solid-state MOSFET transistors, which have a different tonal quality to them, and he'd set his amp EQ a little differently, with more emphasis on the bass and treble, less on the mids. Some guitarists think his tone wasn't very good, but at the same time, it's a signature sound that's easily identifiable as his. Add the "squeaky" artificial harmonics, and it's a really unique guitar sound. And yeah, just gonna echo, you missed out on a hell of a setup with the intro by using the edited music video version. Picture the verse guitar figure with softer vocals and Queen-like guitar harmonies.

I love seeing her slowly becoming a metalhead like the most of us Love from France

This was Pantera in the puberty of their style development

This is in the Upper Echelon of metal music; a classic, legendary song and performance. A masterpiece that perfectly blends voice and guitar into magic.

"Believe the word" that this is my favorite song of all time. The vocals, the lyrics, the guitar, the drums, the tempo, the timing, this is a masterpiece of heavy metal music.

That high pitched squeal is a pinch harmonic. The note is picked and then the thumb on the picking hand is allowed to touch the string at a node so a harmonic rings out. At the same time the note is being bent with the fretting hand or the tremolo bar is being depressed to slacken the string.

Oh....finally! Been waiting for you to get to this song for ever

Sadly you choose the short version cutted to fit radio. The original (long version) is just above 7 minutes and starts with multiple guitars (including at least one aucustic) and piano. The intro before your version starts is no less than 1.32 long and include the first singing line and a short guitar solo. But I 'm very happy you're reacting to this and you're doing great.

Great reaction, thanks for doing this and sharing. Dime & Vinnie, Getcha Pull, brothers \m/, RIP x

Love how you you interpreted that last part between the vocalist and the guitar.

Spot on, insightful analysis. Your description of what the music.expresses is really interesting to hear.

I learned pinch harmonics learning this song. A fender Squire that looked like a rebranded jackson with a floyd rose, tuning locks, and an emg select humbucker plus two single coils.

Missed the stellar intro lol And I got a good chuckle out of you trying to describe the noise of a distorted pinch harmonic 😂

The guitars in Pantera are so unique. The heavy, sludgy palm muting drives the groove and DImebag's solo guitar, overdrive/high gain causes almost constant harmonics (either pinch for natural). Love these guys

This is the incomplete version. It's missing the whole intro. Everyone makes this mistake. Also better to just listen to the whole song without interruptions.

A really good classic metal selection. I'm glad you found things to like and appreciate in this one. This is an example of a metal song that I think you have a chance at liking. The songs that the non-hardcore metal or some classic rock fans have heard and liked. Songs that are clearly metal, but have musical qualities that might attract non-metal fans. I typically use Metallica's "Enter Sandman" as an example of this type of metal song. The Iron Maiden "Hallowed Be Thy Name" that you did is another example. You learned about the "screechy hinge" guitar technique early in the channel, when Karl's guitar colleague Graehme demonstrated the "pinch harmonic" on his guitar. Great reaction. I really enjoyed it.

Amy, I loved this reaction. You're just amazing. End of story.

Excellent analysis and reaction, enjoyed it!

Van Halen "Mean Street" is the one that startled you a while back. As one of my favorite songs that startled reaction moment is what got me to keep watching your channel lol

About "squeaky guitar sound", Dimebag was one of the first major implementers of digital/transistor distortion (via pedals, amplifiers and computer generated effects) rather than tube based distortion sound. I'm not the expert, but if simplified, I guess I told the truth. And also as a casual guitar player myself =) As far as I remember, considering info that I read about 15-20 years ago, the difference between "more common" and "Pantera" sounds was in that "common" distortion sound has stress onto even harmonics, while "pantera" sound has stress onto uneven ones. Or vice versa =) I can't remember correctly. But! I am a proud owner of Boss Metal Zone MT-2, and this pedal can set you up to play Pantera-alike music whatever the amplifier or any other part of the sonic chain Thank you for your video, as always! I watch you from the one of the first of your videos, and I remember commenting right from the start, that you're gonna be huge. And you're sure are now. And future holds nothing but further growth for you. Greetings from Ukraine

Darrell Abbott's guitar tone was absolutely squeaky like a wagon wheel. It has that country twang to it

The original album version has a super awesome guitar intro that Amy will really like and also has lyrics that give proper context to this song. This is the short radio/video edit.

You're such a gem ❤ and thanks Vlad!

Yes! Pantera is up there with the other Metal greats for sure. You should check out the video VH1 Behind The Music Pantera. You will laugh, you will cry, you will earn the right to wear a Pantera shirt. Ive seen Pantera many many times back in my youth. Dimebag signed my arm and drew a little logo backstage one night. I had it tattoo'd on permanent the next day. He brough a smile to everyone's face, and its interesting to see you smile when talking about his playing and sound. Apparently he is still putting smiles on everyone. RIP Dime & Vinnie

This song is epic, hope you can really enjoy the melodies and harmonies! Take care!

Amy, I liked this analysis as always. It's really interesting your perspective in general, because of its authenticity, originality, and a touch of a professor approach like at evaluating the piece, in the good and the bad 'news'.

Yeah. I believe she started to realize that.

One of the biggest things about Dimebag's guitar sound, that differed from most other guitarists, at the time, was that his sound had much more emphasis on the midrange, almost inverting the EQ positions used by most others.

thanks for review of Pantera. I was wondering if you could do another King Diamond song, please.

What you're talking about regarding Dimebag's tone/timbre is his very singular tone shape, which he got from (mostly) using solid state amp heads and various equalisers, tone conditioners to acquire the almost thin and nasal rasp behind both his rhythm and lead channels. There's a few good 'rig rundowns' on KZread that go into how he got his specific tone, through his effects and amp chain. But a lot of it was in his fingertips. The 'squeaky parts' are pinched harmonics, where the flesh of the thumb strikes the string immediately after being struck by the plectrum. When the string is struck so lightly 'in the same stroke', you're essentially plucking the string and then the harmonic node together. The wails he gets later at the end of the solo/call and response section, he briefly taps a harmonic node whilst pulling back on the tremolo arm and stepping on his wah wah pedal, allowing the highest frequencies to punch through.

The base riff foreshadows the ending. It attempts to portray an uplifting, as do the lyrics, but in the end, the singer is consumed by the emotion he is experiencing. It betrays the words he's spoken as an attempt to overcome the grief of a massive loss, and in the end is unable to do so.

It's a pity that you didin't react to thr full (album) version of this song, only the part edtied for the music video. You lost a great intro, the first verse and first solo. Either way, great song. Regards!

WOW, talk about an ear!!!! The difference you here in Dimes tone is because at the time he was one of the few guys playing through solid state amps, Randell I believe. Back then most of his contemporaries were playing through tube amps. THAT was impressive!

at the end , the guitar is the spirit of the deceased

This is their best song for non fans of metal. This many years later it still gives me goosebumps. Everything else they do is great, but its just chugging metal riffs and awesome dimebag solo's. If you listen to more we will watch, but dont expect anything else to come close to this. The thing with metal is it's always typical time signatures and song structure. It wasnt until the mid to late 00's that pretentious types had to be different. The 1st metal band to really do that came earlier, named meshuggah. And tool had been around since the early 90's but back in the day, most considered them alternative rock.

My opinion is what's happening at the end is not a competition but a comparison. Through voice, the singer expresses his pain. The height of the pitch keeps rising as does the intensity of the feelings expressed, until the sorrow can no longer be communicated (voice stops) because it's beyond human limits (it's a metaphor, the singer has reached his limit) - however, the guitar still hits an even higher note, showing that while such an extreme feeling cannot be expressed, it can still be felt.

I remember following your channel from the first or second video and I think I suggested this song to you, since it is one of the classics for any metalhead and especially for those of us who discovered Panthera as teenagers in the 90's. I sincerely appreciate your opinion, since I am a metalhead and a music lover with an affinity for aesthetic analysis but far from being an expert in music.

Missed around 2 mins of the intro. Yay, cut version. Good job Vlad!

Totally distracted by the 2 broken strings on your harp 🧐😂

Dimebag was the master of pinch harmonics and artificial harmonics. Adding to the quality of his tone. Add his use of the Hendrix wah-wah pedal and he creates the "bad pony squeal" using the whammy bar. Finally, using his Floyd Rose tremolo, ends the song with major dive bombs on the strings. Bottoming out the stings with total slack. Beautiful!

Should’ve listened to the full version

Those "squeaky sounds" are called pinched harmonics (artificial harmonics), created by touching the side of thumb or finger that holds the pick when the string is attacked as opposed to natural harmonics which are found by slightly touching the string above the fret and attacked with pick causing a ringing sound from the string. Both can be found up and down the guitar neck and strings.

i want that guitar

First there was Trash Metal... and now we have Sheet Metal... and I'm here for it!

The Album version is a much better version, more cohesive as a piece

The whole 1st verse is missing :(

SQUEALIES from Dimebag 🤘🤩 are historic 🔥 coming from people who knew him, thanx Tommy S ❤

great respect for doing this amazing track! as a metalhead I love your reactions, being that you approach it from your academic perspective as well. Dimebag was the greatest metal guitarist ever, God bless his soul.

I like the frank breakdown, sums it up something accurate.

If you consider the "tone is in the fingers" angle, that sound you're trying to describe about the guitar tone has everything to do with the fact that Darryl Abbott's natural use of pinch harmonics were quick, sure handed, and something he was very well renown for. I'm sorry about the run-on sentence, but I had one of those "I KNOW THE ANSWER!!!"-type moments. I'm from Dallas (of all places), and I'm still not much of a Pantera fan, but credit is definitely due.

The high pitches that "squeak" are "pinch harmonics". Actually, you could probably do it on the harp. On the guitar you hit the string with a pick and as it comes off the pick you immediately gently touch it with like the side of your thumb. Normally harmonics are played on a guitar by touching the string right above a fret, but since this is done below the fretboard at a different node close to the bridge, it causes a high harmonic; an up bend and/or vibrato are usually applied making it squeal even more. If you pluck a harp string in reverse (i.e., hitting it with the outside of the nail) and let the tip of your finger (the flesh part) graze it as it comes off the nail, it might work. Guitars are amplified of course, but I see no reason it can't be done on a harp string. If you try and it works, post a video! 🙂

Nooo! Why do all reactors seem to chose the version that doesn't have the intro? It adds so much!!!

Harmonic pitch was a common technique for 80s-90's metal guitarists, and I love that this technique is still used today.

the reason for the guitar sound is because they used scooped mids...they turn up the treble and bass then reduce the mids which is where most of the sound is on a guitar so it sounds thinner.

Don’t feel sorry for Texans, they earned it!

Realistically, Pantera is more than likely that the baddest MF’s to ever do it!!

The ''squeak'' you are referring to is a technique called ''pinch harmonic''. Basically, the guitarist uses its thumb to slightly touch the string after plucking it, resulting in the string....euh.... squeaking..

Ahhh! That's radio edit, there's a whole verse before this.

they do 'planet caravan' better than black sabbath imo and many others, btw in case you dont get it, texas can be a bit rusty wagon in old barns or whatever, it made sense to me straight away squeaky swings squeaky wheels etc.. this is a story, also notice his wonderful voice. Pantera is much like Metallica in that they go beyond normal metal, they are more creative than the normal band and so it breaks through into the mainstream.

That squeaky sound is sometimes Dimebag grabbing a pinch harmonic. I love that squeal.

This is the radio edit version, a lot of the actual song is missing, it is edited in the worst places, i can never get used to it.

Texas, the ONE Star state

This song is loosely based on a real life event that involved a suicide pact that only one person committed to. The call and response at the end is a person calling out to the other person and getting a crying, screaming response back. In the Southern USA, an old superstition was that if you drove by a graveyard in your car with the windows down or doors unlocked, it would invite spiritual attachments or ghostly "hitchhikers"... This song is someone allowing themselves to open up to that attachment because of guilt surrounding the situation and need to communicate with the other person

Happy 4TH.

Maybe a "power ballad" weekend is in order? And to Vlad, please stop using the music videos for audio as they often are editied or has sound effects. Just use the album version that is more than often available on YT.

May I recommend to you Seven Spires - Architect of creation from their fourth album that was released two weeks ago. It is symphonic metal with an incredible vocal performance by the singer, she has a truly massive range from gutturals to cleans & much more. The bass performance is also outstanding in this particular song as well. I think you will enjoy the orchestral addition to this style of metal a great deal.

A band that I think that you'd really enjoy is Fates Warning. They are one of the founding bands of the Progressive Metal genre. For a longer video, you could do the entire "The Ivory Gates of Dreams", or its individual parts for shorter videos.

Have you done a video on Fleetwood Mac yet? Vlad, you've covered lots of the newer relatively unknown bands. You've done a ton heavy metal. How about giving Amy something everyone loves!
