PANTERA - HEAVY METAL RULES ( LIVE 1985 )

[rksguit]

When I was the same age as Dime,I would've Loved to have a band as good as this to play my Van Halen obsessions with.Fortunately,I Never did,I ended up in an Aussie band called HITMEN DTK playing rhythm guitar from 87[JK Explosion-Hitmen Singer/Screaming Tribesmen Lead guitar/Bass]to 92.I got to do the Lead crazy,with Roddy Radalj [Australias Don Juan of Rock]and had a LOT of FUN.Whatever ANYONE may think,Dime is PLAYING HIS ASS OFF HERE!! Really good playing.I never got to the US[Thanks Immig]

[Caldyman]

GLAMtera...

[RuleKinG]

Dimebag was only fucking 19 here!!!!

[nigabensler]

metalhealththejoker or thecrubler is correct,

and on top of it terry is my uncle so i should defiantly know

and his new band is lord tracy

[JCchamp316]

@nigabensler Lord Tracy isn't a new band. They were around since the late 80s.

[nigabensler]

@JCchamp316 i wasnt saying its a new band? i was saying it was my uncles new band

[nigabensler]

@JCchamp316 he went from pantera to lord tracy

[ninelivecat]

Fuck that sounds alright

[chreene]

Just saw Terry last month. He's gotta new band. Sound pretty good

[SidEskorbuto]

heavy metal does rule

[dreamy839]

Thank god! They turned up the hardcore! Walk!!!!!!!!! But i guess they had to start somewhere. Even if it is glam hairspray shit. I remeber that crap.

[wraithgrinder]

@dreamy839 YOU ARE CRAP wanker!!!! old pantera fuckin rules dickhead not the new one which is ok but too mainstream which kinda sucks!!! i love to bits old pantera Terry is a living LEGEND to me and for many others!!!

[dreamy839]

@wraithgrinder Hair spay died much like the death of disco! Thank god they stopped wearing makeup! WALK!!!!

[Theskybluelake]

@wraithgrinder I voted Thumbs up, to me ,Pantera is the only group I know of that got More Heavy as they got older; most bands get more commercial as they get older to make more money... I like early Pantera better

[wraithgrinder]

@Theskybluelake thnx for the thumb i love old pantera more too i dont know why i just find myself in Terrys voice and in the lyrics of those times!!!! The energy that Pantera blasted on those 3 early albums blows my mind still and Terrys range is unbvelievable!!!!!!!!!! I am a vocalist so i love the way Terry sang here and for me he is THE GOD OF GLAM METAL!! R.I.P old Pantera

[kixr4kids1981]

pantera had it not every band can make such kick ass songs but in my opinion they went down the shitter after the 3rd albem

[Basketalbi]

@kixr4kids1981

You are shitting me right? Their first 3 albums were nothing more than good old, lighthearted hair-metal fun. Nothing wrong with that. But saying they wen't down the shitter after that is more than ridiculous. Starting with power metal, pantera transformed into a technical flawless machine that produced the finest metal ever known to mankind. Anselmos vocal range, rex' groovy bass, vinnies fills and dimebags flawless guitar work made pantera what it is today. A legend.

[cybershane]

@kixr4kids1981

Considering Cowboys From Hell was like their 8th album (2nd with Phil), not sure which one you mean...

[themaninblac]

@cybershane Not 8th. Try 5th.

[cybershane]

@themaninblac

OK! FINE! I was counting The Hot 'n Heavy Home Vid and the other video (name escapes me) that had some original stuff on it... Not to mention the demos recorded at Jerry's studio. :) \m/

[cybershane]

@themaninblac I was including a couple of the demos they did at Jerry's place and a video... but you are correct... officially, that would have been the 5th release.

[TheExploit91]

I think Terry Glaze still to this day talks to Vinnie Paul and Rex. But you can tell deep down inside Terry must be glad that PanterA ended. Because if you think about it Terry missed out on the whole Pantera experience. he missed out on all of the fame, fortune, etc.... So he musta been pissed when he was kicked out and Pantera got famous.

[TheUltimateSinner1]

Phil was in the band when they recorded power metal in 1988 and also phil used to be in a cover band for priest and he could really hit them high notes. So yeah... he didn't just do cowboys from hell.. vulgar.. far beyond.. and revienting the steel..

[Jordanjschaecher]

@TheUltimateSinner1 hes also in the bands down and superjoint ritual

[Bradburn100]

@TheUltimateSinner1 Let us not forget Trendkill...

[TheUltimateSinner1]

@Bradburn100 yeah i know man, i remembered as soon as i put the comment haha infact it has my favourite song on.. Floods!

[Ben0itZ]

@TheAnalStaircase no they stopped playing the previous 3 from what i know

[AlexakisKochetakis]

it's funny to hear about glam band from Texas, not LA, remember full metal jacket ? ;))

[misfitsfan445]

compare todays music to pantera todays music sounds like shit pantera will always be th best !!!!! R.I.P DIME!!!!!

[MickZewOMG]

Phil was a "Junkie" & was the real demise of Pantera, it is just a sad thing that nathan fuckwad took his anger out on the wrong person, because Dime was the coolest & most talented person in the Bizz & Pantera as a whole was killer in whole no matter what era they were in. It's just sad to see Dime gone for no reason ! He is so missed as you can see, & this era of the band was great too.

So, you got it out of your mom's closet, it's ok but it still rocks hard you can't deny. Long live PANTERA !

[pf540]

The main difference was when they changed singers Phil was deeper and more of a growler where in the 80s we all liked the higher voices like Robert Plant, or Angus.

[hoosky1143]

I WAS AT THIS SHOW!!!

[slowhand19]

homemade competition to the best bands of the 80s. they were the best old school metal band.

[Danyourman177]

i much prefer the phil years!

but i can appreciate their earlier style (just)

Dimebag still rules back in the glam days!!!!

as he will always!!

[ebonics4everyone]

I'm glad they changed styles, because Cowboys from Hell and Vulgar Display of Power are two of the most state of the art metal albums ever. Don't care for any of the stuff before or after those two albums.

[noexistence11]

Honestly i like glamtera better than thei heavier stuff. My favorite album by them is power metal which is when phil just joined, it reminds me of judas preist painkiller album.

[degenerate315]

@noexistence11

Power Metal came out before Painkiller. :P

[beltmaster11]

this is not the pantera i grew to love, this resembles everything there against

[dutter1983]

papa johns and........heavy metal rules....

[PussmasterX]

I wrote a song like this with my band in high school. The song is called "Bad Boys Gone Worse." I'm serious it had the same riff and I've never heard this song before!

[MetalHealthTheJoker]

holy shit that was the hard rock cafe concert hall in lawton oklahoma now its called the McMahan auditorium! thats where their first 5 years of playing was. they went to arlington right before getting paul in the band and becoming thrash/groove metal

[TheCrubler]

@MetalHealthTheJoker What in the world are you talking about? They grew up in Arlington, played in Arlington, then all over the place...lol. First show I ever saw them play in a venue was at Six Flags over Texas in Arlington, when they rented out the Southern Palace and put on a great show. They used to rent out warehouses/storage units and play shows. Went to high school with Darrell (Vince and Rex were older) at Arlington High School. Your comment makes absolutely no sense to me. LMAO!

[PapeteriesBraunstein]

this kicks ass great post....fucking amazing

[jorgarrock]

panteraaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

[Thrash155]

So Freaking Awsome. I used to play this in a cover band.

[LASTINLIVE]

/,,/ thanks for sending DIOPRIEST

[Diopriest2]

this is different for Pantera still good though I like it.

[Diofan1952]

@Diopriest2 - me too /,,/ /,,/

[RokDAWG1]

@Diopriest2 Actually, at the time, anything heavier was different for them.

[gammer789]

I think I like this version of Pantera better

[Jaysen7]

I don't know why, but this song reminds me of Balls to the wall by UFO.

The singer sounds a little bit like Udo Dirkschneider.

[theaxelofrose]

@Jaysen7 the singer reminds me of the singer for Def Leppard

[southperth22]

@Jaysen7  you mean accept...the german metal band.

[Jaysen7]

@southperth22

Exactly.

Thanks.

[nehocyrrah]

@southperth22 Yeah I hear it!!! 

[asedcopf]

ROFLCOPTER  gay

[Bushology]

R.I.P Dime brother,

[fabhm78]

Breaking the chains (Dokken) meets Rock you like a hurricane (Scorpions) !!

[ruithael]

This particular track reminds me of some scorpions. You'd have to be from back in the day to even care.

[alexdetroy]

@ruithael

It´s Rock You Like A Hurricane.

[ruithael]

@alexdetroy YES, it is Rock You Like A Hurricane. And you care.

I like listening to all the Pantera albums subsequently. There were the Balls in every era they played in. It's awesome to hear how they changed without losing vital aspects of their style, like various other bands I won't mention. They just evolved naturally.

[HotMummy16]

i like vinny punching the old scool groove thats missed by alotof drummers today!!!!!!!!

[LastShoutSinger]

Weird that he came pissed cuz when I told him that my band will record a cover of "come on-eyes" he was thrilled and said that he really wanted to hear that when it's done. :)

[ninevoltromeo]

anyone know where this show is from? was it recorded at the basement?

[AnubisXII]

Hey Romeo.

You remember Joes Garage? You think this could have been shot there? It sure reminds me of that place. And Pantera was there all the time.

But I don't know. I was stoned all the time.

[SECONER1]

OU SHIT ! IS TRUE BABEEEEE

[WeirdoNabido]

daaaamn. dimebag was that skinny?? haha dimebag rules

[thehuntersmetal]

He was lookin' for some tight pussies tonite with that body.

[xbox360hardflip]

[VH5150MetallicaFan]

Everytime Dime went on stage he made the show shine like Gold.

[33COOLMAN33]

yeaaaaaa

[yu77235648]

Rare video. Thank you !

[jendrek90]

Who is singing?? It isn't anselmo ??

[WillDavidsonBA]

No in fact when anselmo came they did nothing like this... : ) Don't get me wrong i love this kinda shit but not for pantera....

[joeysixtysix]

@WillDavidsonBA When Phil was first in the band they still were glam for a little while. Check out youtube there are several videos.

[ninevoltromeo]

nope. terry lee glaze. the original singer. he went on to lord tracy after he left pantera.

[zackerz9311]

yeah im friends with terry's daughter

[ninevoltromeo]

cool. they live in the maryland area now, right? i thought i read that somewhere.

[zackerz9311]

yeah. i dont want to say exactly where cuz that could be bad. but yeah we live near dc in md. terry does guitar for our school musicals and stuff. its really great

[ninevoltromeo]

[snipergoth]

the riff dime's playin at the start is a mix of peace sells by megadeth and shedding skin (1994 pantera)

[minorkatminor]

[pokeureye21]
