Dimebag Darrell, (guitarist) asked Eddie Van Halen to make him a guitar in Eddie's way, with the stripes. Eddie declined. At Dimebag's funeral, Eddie put his actual guitar from the Van Halen 2 album cover in Dimebag's casket to be buried with him. The respect every guitarist had for him was tremendous. RIP Dimebag, Vinnie, and Eddie.

Cemetery Gates and Hallowed be thy Name are absolutely gorgeous pieces of metal.

RIP Dimebag, he made that guitar scream. I’m so glad I got to see Pantera live. This is the short version of the song, I think I’ve always preferred the longer version. The longer one starts slow and builds, a build up that is almost nails-on-the-chalkboard nerve wracking. You should definitely check it out. Love the reaction, you should *always* dance. Music is supposed to make you move and honestly I can’t say mine wasn’t the same when I saw them live. Mosh pits are a thing for a reason. Always good to see someone who just appreciates music for music’s sake. And you words about it being a state of mind? Chef’s kiss 💯. ❤️ (check out their cover of Black Sabbath’s Planet Caravan.) ps: you’re reaction to Phil and Dimebag’s pair up at the end? Awesome. Didn’t think eyes could get that wide and not fall out.)

RIP Vinnie Paul too... saw them in concert early in their career, Ozzfest. Dime is legend, but Vinnie's beats brought the "violence", man could tear up some skins!

Love Pantera. This song is about two friends the singer, Phil, had when he was a kid. They committed suicide. He wanted to write a song about that experience, but he felt like it would be disrespectful to write about them, and it wouldn't be a song people would want to listen to, so he wrote a story from the perspective of a guy who lost the girl he built his whole life around. It's more accessible and relatable that way. Its about learning how to live after suffering such a big loss. Phil's been through some shit in his life and he's really good at writing emotional stuff because it comes from experience. His vocals are insane, too. Dimebag is a guitar god. Rex on bass and Vinnie Paul on the drums are holding it down. They're all on another level, and together, they were something else. They pushed each other to be the best they could be, and, as it turns out, when they do their best they kick everyone's ass. :) Listen to A New Level, Yesterday Don't Mean Shit, I'm Broken and Revolution Is My Name.

This song is straight 🔥 Phil’s vocals in this with Dimebags guitar playing is just magic

You kept saying “He can sing!” Throughout the video and I just kept saying “Just wait…”

Never apologize for allowing the music to reach your soul. That’s what good music is supposed to do. There’s a lot of rock that does that for me and there are some rap songs that do the same (not on the same level but still). Never apologize for that.

The drummer (Vinnie Paul) and The guitarist (Dimebag) were brothers. And IMO the greatest guitar/drum combo. Period.

There is a Behind the Music about it. So awful! RIP Dime and Vinnie! We miss you.

I watched my husband while he watched your reaction to the song’s ending. He smiled almost like a dad watching his kid take their first steps. It further impressed him that you could hear that the singer was matching the guitar. This is the only Pantera song I have ever heard (though I have heard it several times while watching reactions to the video. The singer’s vocal range is amazing and the guitar player is second to none). My husband absolutely loves this band. It was rather beautiful just seeing the look on his face watching all your reactions. He looked proud of you.

You asked if these guys are well-regarded musicians. I can assure you, Dimebag is regarded as a legend in the metal guitarist pantheon, and you heard Phil's voice - it's pretty well regarded as well! And the rest of the band are no slouches - Pantera were groundbreaking and technically awesome!

it is about loss and regret and agony. Reverend, reverend Is this some conspiracy? Crucified for no sins An image beneath me Lost within our plans for life It all seems so unreal I'm a man cut in half in this world Left in my misery Reverend, he turned to me Without a tear in his eyes Nothing new for him to see I didn't ask him why I will remember The love our souls had sworn to make Now I watch the falling rain All my mind can see now is your Well, I guess you took my youth And gave it all away Like the birth of a new-found joy This love would end in rage And when she died I couldn't cry The pride was in my soul You left me incomplete All alone as the memories now unfold Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the cemetery gates Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder aloud If you're watching over me Some place far abound I must reverse my life I can't live in the past Then set my soul free Belong to me at last Through all those complex years I thought I was alone I didn't care to look around And make this world my own And when she died I should've cried And spared myself some pain You left me incomplete All alone as the memories still remain The way we were The chance to save my soul And my concern is now in vain Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the cemetery gates The way we were The chance to save my soul And my concern is now in vain Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the cemetery gates Gates Gates

I'm jealous beyond words. I would do anything to experience hearing and feeling those albums for the first time again. Arlington T.X. will never forget. PANTERA is in our d.n.a.

I liked this video on the intro. You have such a great understanding and open mind to music. That's so nice to see for an old timer like me that thinks 95% of todays music is complete trash. Much respect to you Jo Jo. Keep going. Love your videos!

Dimebag made that guitar talk, he made it scream. Sadly his life was cut short when he was murdered on stage infront of his brother during one of his own concerts with their new band Damageplan. A band called Black Label Society did a tribute video called In This River, check it out.

You have a very deep incredibly talented rabbit hole to dive into here, there are no bad Pantara songs, the deaths of the brothers is still heartbreaking, they are a unique band, the kept thrash alive for another generation, as much praise as they receive, instead of the Big 4 it should be Big 5 right along with Metallica, Mega Death, Slayer, Anthrax, Pantara. We miss you Darrell, and Vinnie💜

Don’t forget about Rex on bass. Pantera wouldn’t sound like Pantera without him.

Lol, the shock and dismay on this young mans face says it all. Welcome to Pantera bud.

Pantera and many other metal bands have grooves that go as hard or harder than most rap songs. Pantera is known for their nasty grooves.

DIG DEEPER INTO PANTERA! 🤘 they are amazing musicians! My favorite band just because I found a cassette tape of the album Cowboys From Hell.

"I'm a rock fan... No, no, no..." Yeah! Freudian slip much? "If I could play this (guitar) like that, I would play this kind of music." So do it! Learn how to play the guitar and play some metal. Yes, black people play metal. Get inspired by Sevendust, God Forbid, Straight Line Stitch, Ad Infinitum, and Rage of Light. Hell, throw down some rap vocals over metal music. It works.

"Oh he can sing" "Oh that guitar sounds great" This man had no idea what dimebag had in store for him later in the song. Edit: Dimebag is an absolute legend. Eddie Van Halen buried his original bumblebee guitar along with dime at his funeral.

Welcome to the rock/metal family. There’s so much to love here. I’ve been a Pantera fan since 1990

all of them are legends, as is this band. RIP the Abbott Brothers-Dimebag Darrell on guitar and Vinnie Paul on drums, both gone too soon, Dime tragically murdered on stage during a performance and Vinnie Paul to natural causes. Rex Brown on bass and Phil Anselmo on vocals, both still alive and rocking.

yes, people know worldwide that pantera were some of the best musicians in the entire genre. They didnt always flaunt it, but when they did it was crazy. The drummer and guitar player are blood brothers, and have been said to be one the tightest (on time and on point) musicians of all time

In every genre there are gems and when we lose our musical prejudices we open and expand our minds and grow as musicians. The guitarist and the drummer were brothers and only brothers can get that tight!

"a different level of nuance to them" bro..... PERFECTLY put!! I grew up on Ice T, Bonethugs, NWA, Nas, Busta, Pantera, Metallica, Nirvana, Sepultura...the list is long. Point is, I reckon I got the best era for genres that were growing exponentially. The common thread for what I liked was rhythm. My whole musical identification is built from 80's//90's hiphop and rock/metal. Understanding the nuances is essential!

I believe the symbolism here is the guy (in a mental and/or emotional sense) never left the cemetery after the funeral of the person that died. And now he's finally at the point where he's decided has to let go of them and "leave the cemetery" to get back out into the world to live his life.

FYI. The guitarist and drummer were brothers, Darryl and Vinnie Abbott. Side note: Darryl was born 8/20/66, 9 days before me. After Pantera broke up, the Abbott brothers founded another band, Damageplan, and on Dec 8, 2004, Damageplan was performing live when someone from the audience ran onstage, came up behind Darryl and shot him multiple times, killing him along with 3 others; their chief of security, a venue employee and a spectator who tried to intervene. Apparently the guy was a huge Pantera fan and blamed Darryl for the breakup of the band he founded. Vinnie died in 2018 of natural causes. RIP

It’s amazing to see how Dimebag still inspires people to want to play the Guitar. You see how fast he got up and grabbed his axe! He was like “if I could play this thing, I’d make it sing like Dime! RIP Dimebag Darryll…. Your murder was too sad and you were taken from us far to soon 😢

as a heavy metal head.........thank you for listening and trying to underrstand! CFH fforever! saluuud!°

"kinda like it sings to you..." baby, wait until the end

Start playing that guitar man! Do it! When I started it took me months to get used to just holding the damn thing. I’m pretty good now. Start playing brother! You’ve GOT IT IN YOU🙏🏼

It was about losing a lover to death as well as lamenting the prospects of suicide.

My thoughts are Metal Music through the decades goes like this, First BLACK SABBATH who invented metal, Next came METALLICA who perfected it's sound, Then comes PANTERA who brought a heavier sound but great musicians and song lyrics and construction. They flourished in the 90's when metal music disappeared from popularity in favor of grunge and rap. And Finally the band for the new millennium that has a hard sound, deep lyrics and very talented musicians SLIPKNOT. For me if your writing the story of heavy metal, these bands are the standard for each era and you can discuss other great bands under the time period of these headliners.

I love seeing the youth of today enjoy pantera or any awesome metal bands..metal is a world of its own most def but metal with awesome guitar and drum riffs have some amazing lyrics

Rest in peace to one of the greatest Heavy Metal guitarists of all time. Darrel “Dimebag” Abbott. 🤘🏼 nobody on this earth has ever made a guitar whine quite like Dime!!!

Pantera is the heaviest band on Earth The most talented musicians Demons be Driven is sic All Pantera numbers are lit The best of the best

The best band to ever walk to face of the planet and it's not even close. Dime, Vinnie, Rex and Phil will never be topped in my eyes.

Well, I guess you took my youth And gave it all away Like the birth of a new-found joy This love would end in rage And when she died I couldn't cry The pride was in my soul You left me incomplete All alone as the memories now unfold don't need to feel bad because you were dancing to the song brother, PANTERA was and will always be my favorite band their music is like no other band in my personal opinion, The Kings Of Metal

Pantera had such a fucking groove that they are perfect for a rap fan to learn about metal!

Each one of these videos you seem to like rock and metal more and more than the last one. Despite what people would have you believe, you can absolutely be a fan of both rap and rock/metal. Anyone that would say otherwise has a very narrow way of thinking. There is no reason to put limits to the types of things you enjoy (sonlong as they don't hurt yourself or others). The more you go outside of the box you assign for yourself, the more well rounded you become as a person. That's exactly what you are doing with these reactions, and it is a fantastic thing to see.

Dime's guitar skills are so widely appreciated that Eddie Van Halen offered up his 1979 Bumblebee guitar to be interred with him with the comment "an original deserves an original". My man is buried with a guitar that would fetch a million bucks at auction! EVH built his own "FrankenStrat" to get the sound he wanted from the guitar, also modified his amps... known as one of the greatest innovators and HE payed respects (yea, he drunkenly flubbed at the memorial).
