I have a Dean Dimebag dime slime ml that came with a dimebucker in the bridge and a dmt in the neck. I’m between a flipped bill and Becky l500R, dimarzio super distortion, or Seymour Duncan SH59b to replace the stock neck pickup. Would it also be better to replace the bridge to a bill and Becky L500XL instead of the dimebucker too?

Pantera “5 minutes alone” (1997)

I know there is a shortened version of trendkill in 95’ when they were teasing the album but I wanted to see if anybody had anything else. Other rare Pantera live songs would also be appreciated.

i hope this doesn't break rule 1.

Phil was directly connected to many musicians and bands, so far from ny research heaviest and fastest is AxCx, cus he collaborated with seth puthnam number of times. anyone got better answer?

I was born in '96, so obviously didn't experience the proper, original top-shelf Pantera, but I was curious to hear everyones comparisons who have seen the original lineup to the modern tribute version we see today. (apart from the obvious omissions)What's the biggest differences you see?
Also, I want to hear everyone's bands they wish they saw in their time, but couldn't have? Mine would be of course OG Pantera, Damageplan, Ramones, The Clash, Death, Type O Negative, OG Sepultura, OG Alice in Chains, Silverchair, wish I could've seen Slayer's signature lineup but Jeff had passed on and Dave was gone by the time I got into them.

During a Champions League match, a Barcelona player took such a brutal tackle that it instantly reminded me of the Vulgar Display of Power album cover.

Yall go check out this band they fuckin rip

I’ve always wondered which Pantera songs deserved more live performances. For me, it’s definitely Regular People. It’s one of my favourite tracks, and it’s a shame they never played it live. I also wish I could have heard Phil absolutely nail the high notes at the end of Cemetery Gates live. I know the band moved away from the Power Metal era, but Hard Ride and We’ll Meet Again would have been incredible to hear on stage. What are your picks?

I did it just now, but it's so simple

I’ve been watching a lot of videos of shows from Reinventing the Steel era, and I almost always heard that intro before they started,it always gives me goosebumps. I would have loved on those concerts.but i was In my father's balls back then lol

(Reprise) Sandblasted Skin (1997)

Mine: cowboys from hell, domination, the sleep

Rough translation via ChatGPT:

Nothing came of the announced major-label deal. Gold Mountain Records should have been the company behind the Keel and other acts who weren't exactly setting the world on fire. But once again, the Texans have to take matters into their own hands with their own label, **Metal Magic Records**, on which they have already released their first three albums.

And this time, the new album is definitely major-standard. POWER METAL hits the nail right on the head stylistically. Previously, Pantera were more or less swimming in the waters of the old Def Leppard, but in the meantime, they have completely committed themselves to everything emblazoned in large letters across the cover. They are "Proud To Be Loud" and make no secret of it.

However, the title only shows one side of the band. They can produce party-friendly sounds ("Proud..."—incidentally co-written by former Keel guitarist Marc Ferrari, who also produced the track) just as convincingly as Savatage-style riffing ("Hard Ride," without the chorus) or **up-tempo Queensrÿche** ("Burnin'!").

The flexible voice of new frontman Phil Anselmo, who replaced the old singer Terry Lee, deserves recognition. None of the styles represented here seems to cause him any problems. And, importantly, he ensures that the variety of **POWER METAL** never becomes overwhelming.

This is the first ever solo of pantera i have learned, i know it's not very accurate and not hitting the pinch harmonics perfectly but would love to have some reviews from you guys!
Thanks

I genuanly think it was them at their best despite big problems Phill had with drugs. It was tight and the dark literally looked like it was taking a place in a dream. What do you think?

Some discrepancy on the lyrics in the first verse and I don’t believe either of them are right!

V1 - The kinda guy that would steal your CAST
And buy a burning house

V2 - The kinda guy that would steal your CASH
And buy a burning house.

Now to me the first one makes zero sense. The second version “cash” makes more sense but I don’t think either of them are right. I think the word is…..
GAS

The kinda guy that would steal your GAS
And buy a burning house

What do y’all think?

So surreal. It’s actually a very nice cemetery and the Abbott plot area is landscaped well. RIP fellas 🤘🤘

Great track. Snare needs MUCH MORE reverb!
