We got a few Lennon threads.Where the hell is the Dimebag Darrell thread?!
Bad guys wear black!
Score: 6
Not two minutes ago I was listening to Five Minutes Alone. Weird...Pantera was the "hardest" music I ever got into. Just super talented, especially Dimebag. Saw Pantera with the Ramones YEARS ago in Augusta.
Score: 0
Bummed I never got to see them.Last year night 2 at Albany I saw an older fellow whit a Pantera shirt on. I complimented it. Exchanged handshakes and talked for a minute. This guy was at Dimebags last show. I asked, "Why the fuck are you listening to Phish now?" his response "No of the hippies are gonna pull a gun." Good meet up.
Ever see a 9 year old hopped up pn cake and soda rage to Pantera.
That is why I fucking love my brother. At age 7 I was listening to Primus, Pantera, Black Sabbath, Buckethead, Dio, Tool and so on.

I saw Pantera in 1993. I loved that band. But comparing John Lennon to Dimebag makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

I haven't heard anything from them in ages (course, I haven't been looking or listening out for them). Used to get into them a bit. Thought they were extremely talented.

Don't know if anyone has the first Perfect Circle album but it is filled with amazing covers, including, Lennon's Imagine, Elvis Costello's Peace Love and Understanding, Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, Zep's When the Levee Breaks...great album.

wow i have so many things to say about this thread. Firstly, the major issue here is DBD> Lennon?! good god man you must be crazy, and im a huge pantera/darrell fan. i can still remember hearing the words 730 in the morning over WMMR sitting in Mr. Lindseys 10th English comp class, finding out DBD got killed. And during a show? i was crushed.tool is still around, very loosely. they get together every like 3 or 4 years put out a ridiculously amazing album that makes me wanna see them. than they do tours with like 15 shows on them in venues like the sovereign center that holds like 2000 people. I really hope APC doesnt come back they are crap compared to tool. Danny carrie is god!
Racism doesnt stop anyone from writing good music. If your a skynard fan, your a hypocrite.

Finally a Dime thread. Loved this guy. After discovering metal like Sabbath, Maiden, and Metallica, I discovered Pantera and they were my very first show when I was 11 or 12. First time I ever smelled weed. Didn't score any that night, but within a couple of years I was well on my way... This ones for you Dime. RIP.
Score: 0
I'm with my brother Frizz on this one.Pantera was a much bigger influence on my formative years than The Beatles were.
And being 26 means I wasn't alive when Lennon was murdered, but was 20 when the Dimebag affair went down.
Darrell was murdered ONSTAGE WHILE PERFORMING by an ex-Marine paranoid schizophrenic who had stopped taking his meds and believed that the band was stealing his thoughts and taunting him...
That's a shitty thing to happen to anyone in my opinion, and really resonates with me as a performing musician.
I am grateful that I was fortunate enough to have seen Pantera live twice, and to have met Darrell on a few occasions.
To say that one was/is "better" than the other is futile.
It's kind of sad to see people mud slinging in here
It is musical/personal opinion and is, as always, completely subjective.

Word.I was in my room. Legitimately about to turn on Pantera or Primus. Decided on tv instead. News to a 16 year old is usually background noise. Packing my backpack with a couple books a Walkman and some joints. When I heard about Abbott, my head shot up. Hearing that he was dead immediately sent tears down my face. My mother walked in on me staring at the screen crying. I was forced to attend school. Took my Pink Floyd shirt off and dug my only Pantera shirt out of the dirty laundry. Smelling of sweat and weed, stained with last weeks spaghetti sauce and bleach spots. I did nothing but stare blankly with headphones on all day. Met up with 2 buddies after school and just sat there. Smoking and thinking.
But I am surprised no one threw out a Bodybag Darrell or Cemetery Gates joke. Hahaha!

I dont have hard proof but remember that when he died people on the news talked about him and his band being hate mongers. Again that shouldn't take anything away from what he accomplished musically but its hard to compare a guy to john lennon who preached peace and love to a guy who preached the opposite. But like I said I totally understand that fans of pantera will feel that way.

@Frizz said: You are smarter than that. The news almost always lies dude. They say that about all "metal" and "rap" music.True frizz it could've been media b.s, something I heard when I was little that just stuck with me. Although I'm pretty sure they had video footage of someone in pantera dropping N bombs. But anyways I never got into pantera so I can't really speak on he subject.
Beatles suck. I'm done with mud. I want to sling poop.
I am not a huge Beatles fan either, IMO they weren't extremely talented as musicians , but I will say they were excellent song writers and.vocalist

The funny thing is.....Frizz NEVER originally compared Pantera to Lennon. He merely started a Dimebag thread and others began the Beatles/Pantera banter. Also, many folks connected the Confederate flag (very prominent on Pantera stage sets) to hate and racism.Anyway.......as a Columbus, OH, native I was stoked to see Damageplan in such a small venue like the Alrosa Villa. I arrived late, by myself, and settled down w/Jack Daniels. Luckily, I was stationed near the bar fairly close to the main entrance. When Nathan Gale (I swear I'll never forget that motherf***ers name as long as I live) started to walk across the stage, I assumed he was a guitar tech or roadie. During the opener I heard the shots, but thought briefly it was a joke or part of the show. When I saw the panic on the faces of the first few people running out, I realized something was very wrong. I ran, got in my car, and bolted. Dime never knew what hit him...never saw it coming.
