Bay Area Backstage-Pantera Interview-Live Concert Flashback

[Keefedrummer333]

2004 was indeed the year that metal fealt the devestation across the nation. i was at the damageplan show in pittsburgh less than two weeks b4 he died and the first time i met dime in person. Greatest person ever.

[dwambyman]

pantera + metallica = the best metal ever

[metalmandan9]

pantera = heaviest band in the world the only really big band that got HEAVIER and more offensive with each release.

[backsmithfakie]

3:23 I was at that show,14 years old.saw a dude fall out of the pit unconscious with just his boxers on and he shit himself.PANTERA is the best

[crazyerko]

HEEEEEEEEEEELLL BOOOUND!!!!!

[Mrdime68]

he bought us drinks hung out with us at every shit hole club supporting local bands right here in DALLAS FUKIN TEXAS one cool dude

[haveyouseencrazy]

i was born in the 90s, when pantera started to hit big, but actually born in 1994. also a great year because they put out the album "Far Beyond Driven"

[NeonGenesisPlatinum]

PANTERA will always rock~!

[Arvains]

seeing dimebag makes me fuckin sad!

[rando21056]

i'm happy I got to see Pantera 4 times but I regret not seeing Damage plan in buffalo the night before dime's death... It would have been his last full show. I thought Pantera was going to runite that summer or the following year and figured I'd wait for then to see them

[AluminiumSFD]

Metal - it's like religion without the bible, and no bullshit.

Show your horns to PAAAANTEEEEERAAAAAA!!!!

[theolajide]

awesome post, got more ?

[jasmmmm]

Pantera shows were the absolute best concerts i ever went to. No doubt about it.

[haggismachaggis]

I was at this show. 2001 san jose. 16 years old at the time and haven't seen a better concert since. (I'm 25)

[metaloutlander]

Saw them at a tiny bar in O.C when CBFH came out, it was INSANE! Stood right in front of Dime. AWESOME!

[lysergickfuneralproc]

REX! ! !

[VegasBilgeRat]

you know what, it is still hard for me accept that Dime was murdered. I saw pantera a few times thank god...i'll never forget hearing on the radio the day after it happened. Made me ill.

God among men, he was. Bigger than life.

[TheLittleJohnny]

When Pantera toured with Skid Row they blew the Skids off the stage. It was the end of the Skid Marks...

[DimebagCFH4Life]

I grew up in the early 90s listening to dimes fucking awesome tunes!!

[ghostwhiskey]

i saw this tour in philly,it was the only time i felt a hostile, negative vibe in the air at a pantera show.didnt know it d be the last time i saw them

[drumlord420]

Best. Fucking. Band. Ever. Period.

[xm3x4]

hellyeah dime

[PMLRAMRT95]

FUCK I give whatever it takes to see pantera even one song but fuck they where the best

[bizzipajaro]

It makes me feel old, even though I'm only 27, but I was lucky enough to have seen Dimebag with Pantera 3x, Damageplan 1x, and I actually had a brief encounter meeting with both Dime and Vinnie as they were about to go up an elevator in Indianapolis @ the hotel we all were staying at. I was like, Holy SHI ... ITS PANTERA!! I'll never forget, Dime said, "Fukin A!" ...lol What a band. They were beast man.

[shakey64]

cool interview...

talk about old..

I saw Pantera in the Texas club days of 1984 when I was at Ft. hood.

[nirvanarocks115]

u r sooo lucky I wish I could of seen them live =(

[bosoxyaz8]

I was at this show...morbid angel soulfly pantera sjose civic center.....

[antoine1994]

fuck man, that looks like an AMAZING show!!! too bad i wouldn't survive the mosh pitts :P why was i born to late??!!!! long live dimebag R.I.P man

[JoshMosh100]

SHAKE N BAKE (vinnie paul and dime)

[1888junkteam]

excellent work!

[ME7ALLICA14]

i was born in the wrong decade

whos with me

[daidi0121]

I am. I was born in 1993 and I hate most of todays music...Damn emos

[ironmetalman]

yup 1991 born too early

[YellowLeader1]

@ME7ALLICA14

oh yes i am! i was born in 1994...around 1985 would have been perfect!

[kil1Them1all]

@ME7ALLICA14

im fuckin with you :( i started listen to metal 2 years ago and now im 15 soon :(

so i never could see pantera live...and i was pretty broken as a friend of mine told me that there was a chance of a reunion...but this motherfuckin bastard gale had to kill dime...pantera's fuckin my favourite band

[MrMusikman24]

@ME7ALLICA14 fuck i agree, i listen to shit from the 70's and 90's (i only listen to thrash from the 80's).....i feel like i got jipped cause i had to grow up in the 00's cause the music fucking sucks. it all sounds the same. Give me sum sabbath, maiden, slayer, pantera, and even stuff like Alice in chains and soundgarden!!

[destroyer190xxx]

@ME7ALLICA14

i,i was born in the same decade :( LOL

[VanWeinus]

@ME7ALLICA14 im with ya bro

[DIMEBAG27O3]

@ME7ALLICA14 HELL YEAH DUDE IM WITH YOU LONG LIVE DIMEBAG

[akkaazz]

@ME7ALLICA14 It was the golden age of METAL, but it is now up to the younger gen, such as yourself to bring it back! \m/

[jonthericker99]

@ME7ALLICA14 Finally someone else fucking agrees In manchester im surrounded by fucking emo screamo fags that call the shit they listen to metal

[craigfromnewcastle]

@jonthericker99

I saw Pantera in Manchester (UK) in about 2000 - class - saw em twice in Newcastle too once with Megadeth.

Only benefit to being old haha - saw Queen too - amazing.

[TheBluesman18]

@ME7ALLICA14 I agree sir. I agree. As was i

[finalfinal1000]

only if i could go back to those days, it wasn't enough to love them i was a local boy too. how lucky was i to have seen them live, christ I had it mad back then and all I did was bitch about my life. How unappreciative.

[emittscool]

Everyone acknowledges how great pantera is, myself included but it often goes unnoticed that these guys also KNOW HOW TO DRINK

[gtyouhg]

and smoke ;)

[thedanking4201]

log sucks balls the only reason ppl know who they are is because of the guitarist i mean the vocals blow dog shit anyone can yell into a mic for 5 minutes

[DEANSHREDERCONTESTER]

PANTERA!!!!

[dre1008]

its kind of amusing ppl even feel they need to defend PANTERA as being the alltime greatest. its pretty self evident imo. but i guess it just shows how many of y'all love them as much as i do. so fucking keep on truckin' and Getcha' pull!

[RobRicoh5150]

Pantera is the best heavy Metal Band Eveeerrr!!!!!

[QueenCreekSucks]

Uhh no band will ever be able be deserving of being called the "new" PanterA

[captinclutch1987]

You will never be able to compare Pantera to anyone else.

[toboca741]

AMEN TO THAT BRO!!!!

PanterA 4 Live

[MetalAvidar]

R.I.P Dimebag Best guitarist ever.

[vashtriger123]

R.I.P dimebag. the badest guitarist EVER!

[iminthestatic]

"i'm gonna light you on mutha-fuckin fiiiiraaaah!"

[killjak115]

R.I.P dimebag this is fucked what now metallica stop playing and pantera so what do we do now slayer silt awesome but soon there going to stop to if any one can play as go as pantera get the fuck up and started playing

[bosoxyaz8]

I was at this concert !! Morbid angel and soulfly opened.....killer show!

[JakXIII]

Slayers like the last aggresive band now, and even theyre reaching ther end. pretty soon were gonna be left with nothing man, when everyones gone what are we gonna have? trivium? fuck that.

[dhals1m]

no cause we still have cannibal corpse and despised icon

[Blade686]

Cannibal is not the same as Pantera, they are very very very different.

[blurgenizer55]

have patience man, theres good music out there, it just hasnt been able to surface yet due to all the shitty emo and screamo and gay music thats out there today. It works in a cycle, you have to wait through the bad to get to the good.

[RunForPain]

yea don't worry, one day a band will rise from the underground to save REAL Metal, like Pantera did, our time will come, no need to worry cause i'm not, just make sure you buy those albums when they come out to support metal, after all it's been around since 1970, unlike every other type of music that just came and left, LONG LIVE METAL MUSIC.

[gunfan50bmg]

There will be someone left for us.Who knows,maybe someone will come along that owns harder than anyone before them,harder than since the beginning of metal.

[buzzsmurf]

Lamb of God I have heard are supposed to be the new pantera?

I personally dont think so but they are awsome

[6Death6By6Metal]

I would say that Lamb of God has that groove metal sound, and they are damn good. But the new Pantera? Not even.

[3mpro]

i think that maybe no body even has a shot a replacing pantera, i mean they were true originals at the dawn of their time and maybe no one is that genuine

[Bloodsport7]

yep... comparing LOG to the CFH is like comparing a nuke to a stink bomb. haa

[Goratory666]

you comparing pantera to a stink bomb?

[dime2st]

hahahahaahahaa!

i loved that man, fuckin A!

[Dimeist]

Whats so special about lamb of god? tell me one song that's so great, and ill listen to it.

[seanbob24]

omerta is an excellent song, but lamb of god are just like most other real bands..you either like em or dont

[ReVVVern]

ashes of the wake

[stapledshut0908]

Check out "contractor" or "more time to kill" I can only listen to there last 2 albums all the way through "Sacrament" and "Wrath"

[FormerlyBannedUser]

Well, they ripped of Pantera in pretty-much every possible way, I'm sure that counts for something LOL.

[jpenna1212]

Their really good, a very original band, not the new Pantera though, no one can match Pantera

[brybry19871987]

I doubt it, too much has been explored already. You can't honestly say you've heard anything "new" in a metal song in a long time.... Thats what made bands like Pantera great.... they could explore things that hadn't been done, but now days what hasn't been done?

[gregthe357]

Dime was my idol I bought my razorback just because of Dime.R.I.P

[slushbush]

DIMEBAG!! DIMEBAG!! Fuck man why him man he was so awesome we would still have heavy metal around Hope Slayer can Help Keep it Going

[dawnrexgurl]

wE LOVE YOU DUDE DAMN WOW WTF HAPPENED? FUCK

[somemetalguy]

ya it's too bad dimebag is dead i wish he were here.

[85CONFEDERATEWARRIOR]

Damn I miss DIME... May he forever REST IN PEACE...

[Scarletbanned]

WOHO LETS GET IT ON!

[MeekDrill]

Good God Dimebag

[kissarmy333]

whats the song at 0:37?

[metallayne]

whats the song at 3:30?

[MyNameIsThijs]

It's not a song

It's the intro of alive and hostile

[CFH07]

Its also the intro to the CFH demo, if you type in "Cobwboys From Hell Demo Intro" Youll get it :)

[crissxe]

"we dont depend on the radio"...hmm what i dont understand is they gave so much shit to metallica did pantera forgot that they were "glam"? before phil came into the picture?

[blacklabelbrosdmf]

dude Pantera wanted to be glam, back then, Powermetal dude. Phil was doing the same kinda gig before Pantera. he had the spiked hair and the spandex to.

[oneactual]

Shit blsbrosdmf, I'm glad they went the way they did they might not have survived the 90's as a glam band.

R.I.P Dime we all miss ya man!!

[wesjoe311]

most of their "glam" stuff was just them going with the flow of the trend...then, all hell broke loose when phil entered the picture. fuck the trend. that's what they did best when they found their real creative sides...they fucked it...HARD!!! I had the priviledge to hang out with the brothers abbott more than a dozen times. those dudes kept it real. sounds cliche, but in their case, it wasn't. i was very fortunate.

[johnnyhorror92182]

1:53 - "Release Monster-Zero!!!"

[cyntistarr]

[iwant2watchstuff]

Dime was King on earth. If he's in heaven, which he is, then he IS God.

Every Pantera song is good to jam to, fight to, work to, fuck to and even sleep to.

What more could you want than the Kings of Metal?

RIP Dimebag Darrell Lance Abbott

"Lifetime soldier, Brother."

(If this was posted twice it means youtube sucks ass)

[aCuntTookMyName]

[dimebagfanforever]

[BlindMesiah]

Metal ain't hurt, the fans are. Dime's my fuckin fav man. And I may not be the next Dimebag as much as I ractice hours every day, but there are fuckin thousands just like me, and from his memory, he will arise again.

[slashdemigod]

Brilliantly put, i couldn't have said it better myself. Dime's shredding some guitar with God now, no doubt.

[KiLLJoYTR]

Where's dime bag'S solo's? Metal is hurt when dime dead...

[slaytanic01]

when you say that what he loved died with him you only disgrace his memorie

squaleoth is a pussie faggit

[reachlee90]

Me and my girl were AT THIS SHOW in San Jose, traveled from Sacramento, AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT, I remember it like it was yesterday, Thier last tour. THANKS FOR POSTING IT!

[Metalhey]

metal is still alive you dumbass

[Kharnivore2099]

Metal is still alive and well, even though dime is no longer with us. he wasnt the be all and end all of metal. He did rule though.

[Mrbungleface]

FUCK yah i remember r2cents on the public access.... that shit had some of the dopest rock show history straight out of my hometown campbell and san jose... fuck yah man... i miss this shit

[mattiasbrand]

COOL

[buzzzingdawn]

I saw Down last week, Phil seems to have gotten better. But i still believe metal died with Dimebag.

RIP Dime!

[squaleoth]

metal did die with dimebag

[MadassAlex]

Oh go eat an ass. Metal is alive and well.

Dimebag would be ashamed of asses like you.

[doubleshot87]

Uh sorry dude you obviously aren't metal or you wouldn't say that bullshit! Meatl never dies just some times hides to kill again!

[fuckoffdude]

Metal will only grow stronger in HIS name my friend

[Mastadonron]

phil is the man himself and superjoint is beautiful

[jpp01]

i hope down 3 will kick ass cuz withou down phil is just a sad burn out, superjoint ritual is the most pointless crap when me and my brother fist hear em we laughed our asses off at phil (and my brother shaved his head for years cuz he thought phil was a god) i hope phil gets some help and straightens his life out and starts being the old talented phil again

[nola95]

Phil has straightened himself out.

[STEELCITYWHITEBOY]

i am going to go see down/mega deth/ and heaven and hell(old black sabbath) on thursday

[jhostur]

no entiendo un pijo pero dimedag es dios

[garebear409]

[AustinKronix]

hahah man...i was thinking the same fuckn' thing....

[Koindrank]

His brother is pretty damn cool too, these guys where both funny and talanted. The best ones go first. R.I.P. Dime.

[Violence1987]

What a fucking shame dimebag had to die.

[poosmell]

plain and simple. people who say fuck dime know nothing about metal. peple who say fuck dime havent heard anything he's done or even listen to metal. im not going to waste my time saying fuck you because i know who rocks. and its pantera.

[slammedsplitty]

damn right dude, even though he's gone Dime still fucking rules!!!

[foffle]

people know better than to say "Fuck Dime". they'll get killed!

[OGPDIMEBAG420]

i havent seen one person who said fuck dime..no reason

[Nem33]

people say that on a lot of other videos though

[phil80]

all of you fucking woozies that say fuck phil or fuck dime or fuck vinnie or whoever just SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ENJOY THESE FUCKING GREAT VIDEOS !!

[BayAreaBackstage]

Hey Folks I posted a Clearer version of this on the myspace account.Check it out if you want.michaelmagicr2cents is the Myspace id .

Pantera Is Metal.

[b04620k]

they had a falling out. phil regrets it. dont take it out on him. before everything, everyone fucking loved phil. nothing changes there. so dont attack phil. hes still fucking amazing.

[mrmetalxxx]

why should we show phile respect he didnt show any to dime in that interview and now dime gone.

[DaveMatt]

dime will be missed, and for you fags who take it out on phil, youre not pantera fans period

[dimebagacdc]

Phil king of metal Dime king of guitar plain and simple Dime got shot yes it sucks we all miss him but phil didnt want dime to die and nobody did so if any bitch say one should of died instead of the other shut the fuck up and blow me!

[NiteKrawler33]

Phil is the man, but with or without him Dime and Vinnie would have gone as far as they did without them....Rip Dime

[Generalsnusarn]

You motherfuckers should show Phil some respect, without him Pantera would be nothing!

[sheikyerbouti]

i´d say that abouth any mber of pantera.

if one of them wasn´t in it it wouldn´t be pantera man

and phil is still the man!

down III will kick some fuckin ass

[Frufantastic]

Totally agree with you

RIP Dime... 2 Fucking years are too long without you or Pantera...

[RHSTenor1]

ant no bitch there bro

[Dime6String]

R.I.P. Dimebag!! Getcha Pull!! Phil Assholemo should have dropped dead instead of Dime!!!!

[madsanta]

and why do you think that? phil did not kill dime.

fuck off, fanboy

[gasblarg]

You shouldve died instead of dime.

[pockthehairy]

If there was no Phil then there would have been NO Pantera

[eljosh84]

Just coz Phil and the rest of the Crew had their differences doesn't mean Phil's the bad guy. I would rather have watched your whole family die, rather than Dime dying. Drink a glass of bloody piss, you faggot.
