Throwdown - Becoming (Pantera Cover)

[DontShakeItUp]

The singer sounds like the guy from Godsmack with food in his mouth trying to sound like Phil Anselmo.

[Supplexity]

@DontShakeItUp thats a complement lol

[MatthewsC294]

Where can I buy the tribute cd? like all the songs.

[MEXECUSIONER]

fuck these pussies throwdown fans take another less water down band under your wings but stay away from the big ones for they are too much for your lack of taste

[bootysurgeon]

The singer does do an admirable job of copping Phil, but it's like when guitarists try to do Voodoo Chile or the Star Spangled Banner; no matter how good you are, you're a pale comparison.

[shreddintheaxe]

very nice, Throwdown has really evolved into something great.

[bonnertom032]

This sounds pretty cool. I like how they slowed it down just slightly, it kind of lets you appreciate the riff a little more. And I agree with everyone else, this vocalist's voice is good.

[Jotinha600]

Very good sounds quality

[runningwithdeath]

Sounds alright, personally I don't think it sounds raw enough, but still good.

[iAmTheCKC]

wtf sounds like godsmack tried to go heavy...... let the angry replies begin

[DaegonBand]

Throwdown is a mix between hatebreed lamb of god and pantera

[runb4theycu]

hmmm, throwdown just redeemed themselves a little.

[BlindSatsujin]

Err, Is it me or is it off Tempo? I swear this seems slower. Awesome cover though

[MijaelWatts]

nice theme



[johnnyt521]

OMG!!!!!!

[bootysurgeon]

I see Throwdown finalized its years-long transformation into Pantera.

[sirdrumsalot2210]

@bootysurgeon, and thats bad?



[bootysurgeon]

@sirdrumsalot2210 Not at all. It just satisfyingly confirms the redundancy of "hardcore".

[bogus5607]

I think since the bass drum rhythm isn't the same, that may be why they slowed it down a touch. Personally, I like Vinnie's rhythm. But then, this IS a cover. Nice work, Throwdown.

[Keefedrummer333]

a touch slow but not too bad. mixing sucks too but i bet theyd shred this live.

[BobTheGreatX]

This is a rather good cover... The kick pattern isnt the same tho. good try guys good try.

[Underscore9800]

this has to be the best pantera cover ever.

[bassdroppp]

@Underscore9800 the last two albums from this band are possibly the best pantera resurrections ever..

[aGisRR3]

wait... this is a cover? :P

[Tremor747]

im sorry but nobody can replicate the footwork of vinnie paul in this song. I give Throwdown props for doing it rather well. Its close, but no cigar

[BobTheGreatX]

@Tremor747 agreed. Its not the same pattern at all

[sengaija]

Not too hard for Throwdown to get this one right considering they ripped off pantera for two albums lulz.

[teamHERBICIDE]

@sengaija everyone has ripped off pantera

[sengaija]

@teamHERBICIDE well, some more than others.

[teamHERBICIDE]

@sengaija lol yeah im just saying pantera was a very influential band. your going to get bands who are huge fans and adopt their sound like everyone did after black sabbath came out.

[metallicaguyanddude]

He sounds alot like a mellow Phil in this. Sounds really good but not alot of power in it. None the less I think they did pretty good.

[Thanos700]

@metallicaguyanddude I think they add more power to it by slowing it down and chilling it out...like smoking a fatty with your boot on somebodie's neck

[OhMyGodItsJc15]

@Thanos700 You do know they're straight edge right? So they don't smoke your stupid shit

[Thanos700]

@OhMyGodItsJc15 shut the fuck up... you have to file a complaint if someone makes a drug reference...fag..

[Thanos700]

@OhMyGodItsJc15 regardless of if they do drugs, this is good weed music....now go suck your mother's cock

[RSnEDmusic]

@metallicaguyanddude its just cuz they dont have the reverb cranked in the main verses on the vocals

[quarterblind]

one thing to love pantera and take inspiration - another thing to outright copy them, i undertstand this is a cover befor any1 says but i think its better with a bit of your band sound coming through but when the bands throwdown, well.....your sound is an imitation of pantera so why not become a pantera cover band, probably make more cash and people can see you for who you really are,

[panteraistheshit86]

best pantera cover i heard

[JendaHrbac]

make it a little faster and then we can talk.

[buckshot3006700]

Fake drums :(

[edhead67]

Better production??? Really dude you are trippin...good cover n thats it..

[bloodystain]

The only band allowed to cover Pantera!

[Laidstallion1992]

seems too slow but still pretty decent

[MEXECUSIONER]

BLASPHEMY !! THESE PUSSIES SUCK

[waylonbloodskull666]

@MEXECUSIONER then WHY did you look it up? this is one of the better pantera covers ive heard

[MEXECUSIONER]

@waylonbloodskull666 did not, found it by chance so checked it out disappointment either way covers should only by made with the band doing the cover adding their own twist this is more like a xerox of the original masterpiece

[Thanos700]

@MEXECUSIONER you suck

[MEXECUSIONER]

@Thanos700 go fuck yourself

[Thanos700]

@MEXECUSIONER Throwdown eats pussies like you for breakfast with a straight-edge fist in your asshole...bowdown before the almighty Pantera-homage

[becoming29]

Fucking WEAK!

[RichLV1234]

Really, these guys are true followers of Pantera. Since Pantera won't reunite, I don't mind hearing these guys sound like messiahs of metal, they sound similar. Plus, better production quality. ))

[GerardoVidalHuerta]

LA RECONCHASUMADRE! BUEN COVER!

[joebo511]

Favorate pantera song, and this is just brilliant!

[wylder4]

Listen to Headed South from Throwdown.....sounds just like a rip off of Pantera's Shedding Skin

[1243zable]

@wylder4 are you retarded or just deaf, the counts aren't the same neither is the tuning way to go fucktard EPIC FAIL!!!!!!

[VitoANDKevSeries]

i dont like the guitar sound or the drums they dont sound mean enough and the bass drums sound like there using triggers idk im comparing to pantera so thats probably why i dont like it

[bogus5607]

@VitoANDKevSeries

LMAO. Silly dude, Vinnie used HEAVY triggers on Far Beyond Driven. But no big deal. R.I.P. "Dimebag" Darrel Lance Abbott

[VitoANDKevSeries]

@bogus5607 you sure i always heard that he didnt use trigger, i dont know for sure though, regardless this cover shouldnt have happened

[ABurckhard83]

Did he say steak sauce? One of the best Pantera covers I heard all around.

[Frank0liver]

this is like 1/2 the speed of the original ? voice is okish i spose

[theblackpacomurder]

at least the hight pitch armonic sounds cool, i belive that is the most difficult part for covering this song

[Ragnareich]

This is seriously like 50% slower.



[rusalaja]

dam gonna have to check out the band after this

[HeadlessRage]

Not bad. Check out badlock :p their vocalist sounds more like Phil than anyone xD

[unvEvil420]

they fuckin sound allike holy shit !! I saw them open for Cavalera Conspiracy in Chicago at the metro man there fuckin heavy Much props

[timbo1539]

wtf you should call yourselfs pantera thought it was phil singing

[PleaseKillPerry]

Identical to Phil. Crazy as hell.

[Frank0liver]

@PleaseKillPerry ARE YOU CRAZY ? DEAF? dude get a hearing aid

[PleaseKillPerry]

@Frank0liver Maybe you need the hearing aid. This is a cover, so in "some sense" they are trying to sound like Pantera. I meant no disrespect, I love both bands. Pantera more so, but seriously, you got to try and run your mouth? Stop acting like you're opinion makes any difference. Cause frankly, If it were anybody else who said what I said, I wouldn't have said shit. So shut the fuck up!

[mushrat79]

Dude does a great job at singing Pantera! Music is brutal too, but I seriously have to wonder, did Jarrod actually play those drums or is it a drum machine lol. That's some serious-ass footwork to copy Vinnie, if he did.

[Vault474]

He did, to be fair, it's a little slower than Vinnie, but it's still a sequence of kicks to be FEARED, especially doing it in the EXACT way Vinnie does it. Like exactly.

[blobertisoriginal]

Sounds ALOT like Anselmo

[korvexpictures]

This is REALLY Badass

[imajewishmario]

If I heard this on the radio id have thought it was pantera

[dmastaful]

he sounds just like phil (.Y.) thumbs up!!!

[idespiseyoualot]

these guys cover pantera best :) gg

[DaBreezySkateCo]

Best Pantera cover i've heard yet but then again it is Throwdown and they can do whatever the fuck they want!

[MrRichardlee68]

Great love your sound. Looking forward to a new album

[9al9ola]

where is the classic double kick of vinnie?

[BobblezYourDrummer]

It seems a bit slow. Fucking great though:)

[prsfloods]

Best Pantera cover i have heard. Excellent.

[1919shay]

great cover. peters voice is suited for this. throwdown should stay in this genre. badassness

[MrMindfuck18]

not bad vocals!!actully very very good vocals for a pantera cover

[jadd2800]

yea a little slow be he sounds a lot like phil

[Hellbilly0013]

@jadd2800 his voice is kinda like a mix of Phil's and Sully Erna

[lucianoferrazpv]

@Hellbilly0013 Right!!! But his voice sounds this mixing just in this record because his voice is almost like Phil's voice!!!

[rockarolla306]

@Hellbilly0013 sully erna is a shit vocalist, I've always seen Throwdown as a Pantera Lite so his voice I think fits this kinda tune esp since Anselmo's voice (as awesome as he used to sound) is completely gone these days

[Thanos700]

@Hellbilly0013 in other words a mix of completely fucking bad-ass and bad-ass

[popshotizbeast]

It seems a tad slow. But I'd say they nailed the vocals!

[Hellbilly0013]

sounds kind of the same as the original only not as heavy

[quiendijomiedo19]

bullshit!!!!!!!!!!

[Dante975ks]

Best "Becoming" cover I've heard.

[LWRCftw]

the double bass in the intro is wrong.

[foogledoo32]

@LWRCftw It's how Throwdown wanted to do it so therefor it's a cover. Ah, you see covers aren't supposed to be 100% the same. Wouldn't make much sense, kid.

[BUZZCUT1231]

I think its safe to say this is the best pantera cover done, The vocals are awesome, guitar perfect this is a great pantera cover. Well Done!

[Beebop666]

this album is sick love all the covers .great bands

[OriGri]

I loved it, but it's identical to Pantera's version... a cover means they take another band's song and play it in their own style - in this case there's nothing new, even the singer sounds just like Phil (which is pretty fucking awesome)

[locoawise]

@OriGri Identical to pantera? In a very not identical at all way right?

[Sutton195]

@OriGri

No it doesn't you idiot.

[worldsend142]

Check out Penntera from Pa. This band kicks some ass! Good job on this song

[C1FEAR]

i love it cuz they don't TRY to sound like Pantera...cuz his voice has ALWAYS sounded like Phil's...i think that's why this cover is spot on. definitely the best Pantera cover i've heard. yeah, it sounds kinda like the original but it's not because they're trying to.

[TheMetaliztah]

@C1FEAR ur right man .hehe .but it sounds so the same and he looks like phil too

[Witchdrgn76]

One of the better Pantera covers I've heard...

[bbdill]

Great job! It is to be expected from Throwdown. If you listen to their other albums you can definitly tell they were influenced by Pantera.

[drumastajon]

Holy similar!

[CannibalZombieKiller]

Dave Peters is One of the Greatest Disiples Of Phil Anselmo

[bigmike6689]

there lead singer sounds almost like phil very fucking close rock on man !!!!!!!!!

[gmaghandi632]

Anyone,if you practice enough can sound exactly like ANY great band.

[getsomeboy321]

I honestly think this song is ripped off of pantera, Like there is no way they can sound this close.

[nomadicexplorers]

@getsomeboy321 it is a cover song douche

[stopglobalswarming]

This is interesting.

[AGNTthrasher]

Sounds to close to the original for my taste. But if you're into that, then it's a great cover!

[LoveMyKoosh]

if it was faster it'd be more believeable... still noone compares to pantera sorry

[LarryGuitaryGuy]

sounds slightly slower than the original

[theDirtyGupta01]

This cover wasn't all that bad at all!

[tharshingpoop]

You know I think Throwdown is a shit band, but I'll admit that this is a really good cover.

[boogaboom]

Well, there's no Dimebag in Throwdown.

[Doomzdayxx]

It's not that this a bad cover, it's just that the original is like 1000x better. I mean, who fuck can follow Pantera? C'mon.

[nykola331]

WTF! is Phil Anselmo Voice! :S mygod SAME VOICE!

[EverxOpeningxFlower]

Wow, they really made a own version of the song, like the vocals are so far away from the original..

[DEMONBREAKDOWNLOVER]

Walk is a classic but i hate that a lot of people only know them because of that song. Pantera has soooo many other great songs that should be heard by all.

[MetallicaPantera2010]

@DEMONBREAKDOWNLOVER right on man Pantera has songs way better than Walk eventhough walk is awesome

[MyGreatFall]

@Cancer8006 Well everyone has their opinions, and i think that Walk is a great classic! Many people might know pantera because of "Walk" but well.. :) I just love it

[Broudy]

finaly a cover that doesnt shit all over the original...

[haids7]

Pretty damn good, significantly slower though

[MyGreatFall]

Dam these guys should do a cover of Walk.. would be spot on!

[johnniej66]

anyone remember when these guys were just a straight edge hardcore band>

[dramaticone123]

dude he sounds like phil

[Thanos700]

This cover is good. They make the riff more "steady" sounding like they're adding an extra beat or slowing it down or something. I like it alot it's different.

[tonibiruta]

very poor not even half agressive

[mustachetrav]

very good for some oc hardcore band that use to play in showcase theatre and chain reaction ,play loud and proud boys your doing great and the old members are doing nothing sense jackass james heart broke up 18v.

[AlexPeedley]

his vocals are just a little off from phils

[arketreyu]

cover of shit the point of a cover is take like a tribute not like a impression

[MetalheadDetta]

@fatsachs shut the fuck up! i am not a poser! i know over 400 ALL METAL bands and io have over 14 000 songs of just PURE METAL!!! and yes the lead singer from throwdown is the same singer from when Pantera was around

[DarthScrib]

@MetalheadDetta You're a fucking idiot! Kill yourself immediately!!!!!!!!!!!

[TraviSixShot]

@MetalheadDetta Your a fucking moron lmfao

[ChineseCow709]

@MetalheadDetta Obvious troll is obvious

[DaneOMac618]

sounds more like godsmack. what happened to being straight edge n not giving a fuck?

[MusicMaidenhead]

@DaneOMac618 I think the whole purpose of straight is giving a fuck.......look, the state of music as it is? There's Pop music, and it's more abundant than all fuck. Then there is Harcore, associated 'Core offshoots and such. It's actually TOO abundant. It's over flooded the market and become the quint-essential norm....so if you really didn't give a fuck, and wanted to be an individual, you wouldn't be playing that.....personally I think they just evolved into this naturally.

[cfreeman88m]

all in all. great cover. they stuck to the song for the most part which is good. the vocals in this are great

[Bryce1413]

@MetalheadDetta

he definitely isn't Phil Anselmo, he is heavily influenced by him. But he is not Phil.

[marijuana42030]

@Bryce1413 you are a fucking idiot if you think thats phil

[MetalheadDetta]

the singer is from pantera!look it up

[Mightning]

boring... has nothing on the original

[imaletemknow]

I LOVE THIS BAND. for anyone calling them sellouts... wouldnt u want to sound like one of the best bands ever? or sound like a band that made u love metal? id want my bands sound to be simaler caus i love it. no other reason. i still listen to panter albums every day. thats y i love throwdown idiots. y compare them its not like they claim to be better, different, or anything like that. rock the f*ck on throwdown come to the northeast theres lotsa metal fans to support you!

[RatedRsupeRme]

Throwdown should do a Cowboys from hell cover

[vIIJeNoVaIIv]

This is best cover i've ever heard (at least for accuracy)

[supervendetta1]

fuckin badass cover, not many can cover phils vocals

[locoawise]

always thought his voice is very similar.. But I do this a lot better,believe me. Great cover

[kurtkokoi]

fuck the voice

[biggiestewz]

fags, troll head, justin beiber??? is this not throwdown covering pantera? why would that fag fuck even cross anyones mind who listens to pantera. or throwdown for that matter. stop sucking weiners.

[BergmanMusic]

Good cover. I like it :)

[serebruss1]

Justin Bieber needs a bounty put out on his head !!!

[joker563]

if u dont like the music move on instead of hating because no one likes justin bieber except u....

[miltonbra]

the vocals really look alike

[jessec63]

panterra = gay. if everyone thinks they are so good. you are wrong. if they were theyd still be around playing. So fuck off.

[TheSalamikid]

@jessec63 You don't know shit . There will never be another Pantera. So go listen to your fuckin 30 seconds 2 mars or whatever gay shit you're into.

[jessec63]

@TheSalamikid First off i dont listen to gay shit like that. since pantera is so "good" it explains why they are still around huh. so you loose

[bloodystain]

@jessec63 What a repetitive and failed troll.

[jessec63]

@bloodystain You're must be a fag if you say "troll" really. you probably have a troll sucking u off right now.

[bloodystain]

@jessec63 You're must be a troll if you say "fag" really. you probably have a fag sucking u off right now.

[TheSalamikid]

@jessec63 So,for a band to be great,they have to be around forever? If they were'nt so great, why are other bands covering their songs trying to be like them?

[mark616crnjak]

@jessec63 a personality like you explains why there are such psychos that go on concerts to shoot the artist...ur an ignorant fuck...pantera is one of the most influential bands ever so back of fagot....

[jhimyboy33]

@jessec63 pantera es de las mejores bandas de metal q han existido no opines lo q no conoces seguramente escuchas pura mierda como lady gaga y miley cirus y te la pasa viendo videitos poperos en mtv mariquito!!!!!!

[stoltobot]

@jessec63 are you retarded kid? how can Pantera 'still be around playing' when one of them is dead? By your ridiculous reasoning everyone who is dead is gay because they can't 'still be around playing'

[buddablazer1]

@jessec63 retard, dimebags dead THATS why theyre not playing anymore. u deserve a smack in the mouth u ignorant fuck.

[supervendetta1]

@jessec63 go listen to devil wears prada you wannabe faggot bitch

[NewMilleniumChrist]

@jessec63 your a wicked big pussy your prob just a stupid nigger that likes lil wayne

[panterml]

@EmbeddedBlackening, Cool Story Broo... 6 stars. \m/

[Wolfy036]

Best drum double bass I ever heard... Go on guys \.../_

[metalshred666]

they shoulda done I'm broken.

[newabortion515]

@metalshred666 I don't know, man. The solo in "I'm Broken" might have been a little intense for Throwdown's guitarist. I think Malefice did a great job with that one. Still, I like the way you think. Haha.
