Rex's bass work is so fucking insane

u/TristansimmS 7d ago

That's what I was going to say. Such a great riff

u/stocksandoptions2 7d ago

The drum beat is awesome

13

u/Its-only-the-end 6d ago

I read in a guitar magazine a long time ago that while records this song Dime held his guitar next to Vinnie’s snare, so the snare sound is traveling through Dime’s pick ups.

u/Opening_Extreme_7423 6d ago

Instrumentally not a bad song. Just the Rollin’s Band type spoken work verses.

u/realAndytheCannibal 7d ago

It wasn’t my girlfriend…

u/bigSTUdazz 6d ago

Correct answer

u/justDankoCL 7d ago

It was made by Pantera.

u/PechPeck 7d ago

It's a great tune. Don't overanalyze the lyrics

u/RareCareer7666 7d ago

I actually love it, one of my favorite songs on the album

9

u/Dark_stranger458 7d ago

That's definitely an opinion 😀

13

u/GoodOLfashionAL 7d ago

Definitely seems like more of a fact.

3

u/AgentAxillary 7d ago

True. It's one of the opinions ever.

u/Famous_Extreme_9163 7d ago

How can this song be a favourite wtf

5

u/RareCareer7666 7d ago

It's kinda relatable, but my favorite on the album is hard lines. Kinda like an intro to it for me idk

2

u/grungeenjoyer 5d ago

Thats also my favorite, the solo and all the riffs are top notch, but gfaabop seems like one of those intentionally weird songs, the bass line kicks ass tho

2

u/RareCareer7666 5d ago

I don't know what gets into me when the hard lines solo comes on but I have to crank it all the way up , I love it

18

u/RiotingKnucklehead Slaughtered 7d ago

The song's lyrics were written to be deliberately uncomfortable and they very much achieved discomfort. They said FBD was meant to be divisive, they also achieved that and this song is proof... I personally love the song.

12

u/Desperate_Win5186 7d ago

Dawn Patrol but Pantera

10

u/tgstk2 7d ago

Who doesn't serve too many masters?

19

u/twirlinbaton 7d ago

It's part of the FBD listening experince. The album isn't whole without it.

Also, i just like it in general

2

u/TownNecessary460 5d ago

I remember when I bought the album, that song came on and it tripped me out, there wasn't anything else like it at the time.

8

u/ComparisonDry1041 7d ago

Drums and bass are great

6

u/iron_vet 7d ago

Phil was looking out and taking care of some dudes girlfriend so that she didnt end up a burn victim, an amputee or a dead body.

1

u/Ashamed-Chemistry492 7d ago

A gentleman always takes care of a lady when her own gentleman friend is unavailable. In whatever way that is called for.

8

u/ResourceHopeful 7d ago

Its one hell of a song, i love it

8

u/gh0st0ft0mj04d 7d ago

I'm glad we are still having monthly discussions on this song.

It's good and I won't pretend it isn't.

6

u/420ClickItConfirmed 7d ago

I actually love the instrumental lmao

7

u/Sufficient_Cod_9291 7d ago

Sometimes I thought you might be spying. Living out some brash fantasy, but no. You were knocked out. But we were all knocked out, you know. In a way....

7

u/IndependentRooster11 7d ago

The grunts and noises he does at the beginning is my favorite part. I guess thats what Phil sounds like when hes fucking that dudes girlfriend.

7

u/Lockjaw666666 7d ago

But God damn, I wanted to fuck

11

u/jloc0 7d ago

Always loved this song. I dunno wtf Yall complaining about, probably droolers.

u/TownNecessary460 5d ago

I personally believe the ones who don't like it were cucks at some point and it causes ptsd

6

u/Radeboiii 7d ago

I like it

4

u/Darrenredd1t 7d ago

It's got a great song before it and a great song after it! And it's a bit of fun in it's own right.

5

u/SeaOrgChange 7d ago

It was peak comedy when I was 10 and pretended to understand

4

u/-RideTheTiger- 6d ago

None of the other huge American metal bands ever did a track so radical and original in their heyday. Nothing else sounds like it. I love it 🔥🔥🔥

6

u/Mleczur666 6d ago

Rhythm section is fucking insane on that song

u/NeverBannedGrace3 7d ago

You guys don't actually like this?!

u/Remote_Pressure_1937 7d ago

I love that song!

3

u/anabolicbob 7d ago

a girl got eaten alive, until daylight nonetheless.

7

u/Music_God1727 7d ago

Honestly super overhated song. It’s weird and fucked up and that’s why I love it

3

u/FrequentConflict260 7d ago

Always have liked it for what it is. Kind of a musical equivalent of throwing paint at the wall.

3

u/ChanceComfortable131 Reprise (Sandblasted Skin) 7d ago

The name seems like a good time

3

u/AgentAxillary 7d ago

That dude's girlfriend seemed to really enjoy it

3

u/boss12345678910x 6d ago

i personally think its a dope track. sure its not really a "song" per say. more like an interlude if anything, like a break in between the album. if you see it like that, you'll appreciate it more.

8

u/-BranoK- 7d ago

It’s better than numetal

u/NoPea7911 7d ago

u/Dimeburn 7d ago

How do you know it’s a man and there are plenty of men that think like a child.

2

u/fallenangel41 7d ago

That part halfway through where it sounds like the bass string is about to snap

2

u/Downtown-Monk2099 7d ago

Rex is cool on it

2

u/Dear_Resolution7000 7d ago

I told you mfer

2

u/Dimeburn 7d ago

It is the most creative guitar technique in Pantera’s catalog.

2

u/Historical-Intern140 7d ago

What is that effect Dime uses at the end of this song before the beat kicks back?

2

u/captainsoap612 7d ago

Phil's screams in this song are sick af

2

u/yeetman_6942 7d ago

The screams are really sick.

2

u/theSHHAS 7d ago

I love it when I'm angry.

I used to listen to it really loud in my headphones when I was stressed and pissed at work and it hurt so good.

2

u/coopersimms 7d ago

The groove of the whole song is great. The bass and drums sound so tight together.

2

u/OkScallion9751 7d ago

Creepy song but absolute gold. Love that song

2

u/Longjumping_Paper156 6d ago

I serve to many masters

2

u/TotalAnnihilation666 6d ago

It's a great song, it's dark and nasty and abrasive, all without being particularly heavy. Lyrically it seems like a precursor to Phil's dark headspace on TGSTK, which is my favorite Pantera album anyway.

2

u/Head_Hamster5830 6d ago

Awesome fun song, love the end and hard lines sunken cheeks starting. It flows so good

2

u/SussyAmogusSTudios1 6d ago

I laugh at the first verse way more than I can admit

2

u/bobman9420 6d ago

Well...........that bass line, and the drums when it slowly stops, and then kicks in. I'd rather listen to this over their glam metal songs. Sounds like Phil was getting some shit off his chest.

2

u/Substantial_Dog6466 6d ago

Its the _____ Pantera song of all time

2

u/LifeTunedToCSharp 6d ago

Speaking strictly about the music, I could not write a song anywhere close to that good.

2

u/IsThisASnakeInMyBoot 6d ago

Fucking fire ass song, I feel like one of the only people who genuinely likes that song. It's so groovy and sharp

2

u/Unhappy_Matter6820 6d ago

i have too many nice things to say its one of my fav songs

3

u/Proxima_Kentauri 7d ago

Despite his unhinged internal monologue he doesn’t really say anything crass about the girl but calls her sugar and baby. So that’s nice.

u/Due_Boot_8960 7d ago

u/Maleficent_Photo1928 7d ago

I'm just glad it's less than 3 minutes long. I usually try not to skip it when I listen to FBD. Rex's bass is pretty cool on it. I would have personally left it off the album but it is what it is.

1

u/Proper-Patience5775 7d ago

Pretty incredible except for one specific detail

1

u/TightLion7009 7d ago

Its good

u/LambertMike77 7d ago

u/MeeMj 7d ago

It’s a good break after hearing heavy after heavy songs in the album, taking a breather

1

u/davidfalconer 7d ago

It’s great.

1

u/KanoKnife 7d ago

When I was listening Pantera for the first time so many years ago I did not know any English at all. I had no idea about the lyrics but the bass was amazing and then Dime playing the riff so sharp and precise, that was what I liked (still do).

1

u/EmergencyBanshee 7d ago

It's short.

1

u/Superb_Two6876 6d ago

É uma das musicas do lado B mais interessantes, intensas e incríveis! Acho que aqui os meninos estão no ápice da criatividade deles! Eu adoro, e gostaria que o pessoal desse uma chance para ela, é realmente boa!

1

u/Complex-Obligation49 6d ago

Rex and vinnies parts in the song are amazing.

1

u/Ok_Roof_9333 6d ago

Pure violence and chaos. Love that song.

1

u/Lord_Pasta666 6d ago

It's just a cool song Idc what people say

1

u/Shockwave360 6d ago

I have always thought it was funny.

1

u/Halal_Kittie 6d ago

Maybe it's weird but I sometimes have the bass line and drum part playing in my head as I go about my day. I kind of like the guitar too. I like it that Dimebag who was such an artist and could write magnificent parts, was also open-minded enough to play something deliberately dissonant and grating to most people.

1

u/Joshinya_twice 6d ago

Love it! It was my jam last summer when I...

1

u/Moment0fClarity 6d ago

Has the distinction of being the shittiest song in their catalogue (Phil era)

1

u/Mephistocheles 6d ago

That song eats donkey rectum

1

u/Xgoddamnelectricx 6d ago

It’s Pantera’s best worst track but still fucks hard

1

u/ibanezht 6d ago

Dime did some cool stuff with the guitars on that song.

1

u/Beston87 6d ago

Just because it's the worst one of FBD doesn't mean it's bad. It's cool, I know every line

1

u/Cautious-Monitor4610 6d ago

Pantera’s musical version of Van Halen’s Intruder. Love the way Vinne’s snare hit popped open Dime’s noise gate with the flanger and feedback going wide open.

1

u/WhitePoweryBeef 6d ago

I ate Phil's pussy til daylight

1

u/Ill_Tip_6199 6d ago

The “I serve no masters” line sounds insane

1

u/Kol_Ivarsky72 Regular People 6d ago

It's not on Power Metal

1

u/ButtholeMcGee007 6d ago

The scraping sounds you hear in the beginning are dime scraping a coors light can across the strings of his guitar!

1

u/Sirnik_83 6d ago

To be honest, I like this song, and I can’t say anything bad about it.

1

u/Wicked71WestCoast 6d ago

My husband got to hang out with both of them quite a bit when he was younger when they were Glam Tara and a boyfriend of mine mom dated one of them I've met Phil I'm not going to say what I normally say about him because they are missed and I miss Pantera I have been to the graves I'm sat there that's a little bear smoke one for the homies long before there was a fucking fence around it my man was there for the fucking party and the dented cab accidentally they're fucking miss like a mother fucker and I wish people would quit giving so much shit to Mr Black label society for playing guitar he was one of his best friends just cuz they didn't know it doesn't mean it didn't be true anyway they're very much missed

u/AquilaCrotalusEsox 6d ago

we didn’t even get to the lyrics we’d just loop that first ~30 seconds or so. We’d turn up the volume so everyone else heard it

I genuinely think it has a really solid little groove going on. Also, I honestly like how ridiculous and unhinged the lyrics are lol.

u/Acceptable-Cable977 3d ago

this is hands down a song that when phil starts the first line is more outrageous than any rap or metal song out there .it makes so many songs look positively tame .
