@rivet138 If the felt the "desperate need to please the masses" like you claim, they would have stayed Glam Metal like they originally started out. They were inspired by Metallica & Slayer in the mid-late '80s. They decided to go more brutal and darker after Metallica released the Black Album because they felt that it was their job to pick up the slack. And also, we can't forget about the Grunge revolution. Metal was fading. Pantera saved it.

Definitely Pantera is Not Thrash, you mean Trash. They were a Glam Metal band Like Poison, Stryper or La Guns, (Gay Metal) then they tried to be heavier and rude, metal for losers.

When pantera realesed Cowboys From Hell underground metal was either Death or Black metal, not that groove/neo metal that the texan band used to play. Maybe it's just me, but I feel in Pantera a desperate need to please the masses instead of looking to play the most brutal, extreme type of metal.

Another good example as it explains how this trend happens is Journey's Don't Stop Believing.

Before it seems as though no one had heard about this song. (except true fans)

But when it was played on an episode of Laguna HIlls on MTV... it received a million hits on youtube, internet radio site, etc.

There are real thrashers... and posers.

Poser Thrasher = A person who knows about thrash metal solely on the basis of hearing a snip-it about a popular thrash metal band on MTV, Popular Magazine, or Guitar Hero where these mediums would not otherwise talk about such bands.

EX. All the fanboys of Pantera that say they listen to them religiously... only after Darrel died.

EX. People who say they like Slayer...because they like the Guitar Hero song.

[noximputesta]

Are you fucken kidding me?

They were produced by Darrel and Vince's father up until Cowboys from Hell. At which point, yes, they did sign with ATCO Records part of WMG. But they didn't sell out their sound when they did... no radical change in music. A part from previously being a glam metal band and then becoming a thrash metal band.. that was done on their own terms not the record labels

Know your shit before you start coming in saying unintelligible things that are not of your vernacular

[ajvarofdoom]

you are fucking dumbass because record labels didn't make up their sound, i think the band that influenced pantera the most was exhorder they took that groove sound from them.....

[RaiseThe666Dead]

which in turn are both okay to do

[rivet138]

I'd rather think of Pantera as corporate Thrash metal or Thrash produced by big record labels to make Heavy music more digestable.
